At least the SoM remake used alternate camera angles and stuff. The ff6 remake looks to be a strait downgrade, impressive in it's shame.

I wish linear F/TPS were still popular. After Half Life they made a load of great ones and barring the new DOOM games, everything seems to have to be an open world game with skill trees and RPG points and stuff. I just want to go from A to B shooting fun guns

Maybe I'll try Last Light then you should really push past the long intro in Exodus. By the time you get to the first big area it gets awesome and stays awesome for about 30 more hours till the end. But also play Last Light.

It did absolutely nothing different from the first 2 games and the story was waaaay more fart-huffing than the original. The skyhook things were dumb gimmicks that were impossible to use in combat, too. Rapture only worked because it was a good combination of interesting concept and atmosphere. Columbia had neither. e: I'm only reminded of how bad it was because I actually enjoyed it the first time, but last week I was at a buddy's house and he asked me to beat the last big gun battle in the game and it was loving awful

I remember when it came out there were a lot of think pieces about how great and deep the story is and the game has important things to say about racism and how bad it is (it is). Turns out, all you do is choose whether or not to throw a tomato at two black dudes. If you don't, they give you a small reward later. Such a hard hitting message so important for our times.

They literally just went "what if Rapture but in the sky and American/racist." The entire city just felt like a Disney theme park. e: the story and characters were bad and boring too. I've only played each game once or twice, but I can definitely remember most of the cast from the original game, and the main plot beats. Infinite all I can really remember is the revolutionary black lady, but aside from "you are the bad guy and also the father" I barely remember anything about the actual story of Infinite, or any of the characters. At least in 1 your character is mostly a confused blank slate, Booker's character was just flat, uncharismatic and generic as hell. I think the most emotional I got in the entire game was being sad at how awfully and painfully the giant bird thing died at the end. I'm pretty sure the developers realized it too, since the DLC stuff brings it back to Rapture and is way better for it Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 27, 2019 |

I get that they were going for the whole "everything is fine and good, our society is 100% not collapsing into anarchy" aesthetic, but ugh. I don't mean the game played like a theme park ride, I meant that this:  reminds me more than anything of this:  but with contrast and color saturation cranked way up. And I get that they're both facsimiles of the same idea (the 2nd shot is literally from Main Street, USA at Disney), so I guess you could argue that they captured the aesthetic too well? Either way it just felt really hollow and forgettable. e: another fun thing about that game is how 90% of the game moves forward 10% of the plot, and the ending is just a massive overload of plot development/resolution Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Mar 27, 2019 |

I like playing multiplayer games but nowadays, it's getting harder to convince friends you know to play with you since pubs can be freaking cancer oftentimes. I play this game called warframe where I'd group of goons to do poo poo. It has been a blast honestly. shame folks dismiss multiplayer games as toxic cesspools but I can't blame them. I much prefer PvE games over PvP games anyday. (though oddly I hate most mmos)

KF2 had a few rough patches but is now in a good spot with a lot of enemy and weapon variety and all sorts of gore and mayhem and even dumb custom modes. The guns feel really good. I played the hell out of KF1 as well.
