Warcraft 3 mods are better than the standalone games they produced/are based on. also i'm vry hype for warcraft 3 reforged, i just don't understand why they offered preorder more than a year in advance for a loving remake lol

Twelve Batmans posted:Bioshock Infinite was fine. In retrospect I do think it's pretty bad actually. I did like Elizabeth and the idea of a floating city. Nothing else, though... Bad gameplay, ugly and boring and repetitive enemies and a story that left me completely unsatisfied

Snow Cone Capone posted:It was a criticism of the environments, not the game. They all felt super bright and oversaturated. 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. It is a literal sky city that is in the sun all the time. That is the point.

All the BioShock games are fine but theres a lot of over the top hatred for them. You could never say they are boring and they dont overstay their welcome. They are good.

They are boring. I tried to play the first game like 3 times and just couldn't progress past about 3 levels or so because the combat is such a snooze and I couldn't bring myself to play more. "Libertarianism is bad" is also a very obvious point that really doesn't need to be stressed and the stories are dumb. The games depict its tragic failure, but that's already giving such a ridiculous ideology too much credit.

The main complaints I've read are the gunplay is below par and the stories are pretentious which are fair comments. Saying a 7 hour long game has overstayed its welcome is  though even if you dislike them

I don't know why, but I was fine with the combat in the first 2, while Infinite's combat was frustrating and annoying. Maybe because the setpieces were a lot bigger and open-spaced? I feel like they put in all the warpable cover spots and skyhooks to mitigate that, but it didn't really work for me. Like I said, I did the last fight in that game again pretty recently and it was just entirely unfun.

Awful lot of "BioShock loving sucks but i played through it anyway" in this thread. Its ok to drop a game 2 hours in if you find it tedious and unfun. That's how i knew it was safe to uninstall red dead 2 after day 1.

Capcom's been batting near a thousand and I worry for how they'll gently caress it up in the future. MHW was cool and good. RE2 was scary fun. DMC V is amazing and the guy who did it says he wants another Rival Schools and Dragon's Dogma.

drat, you're right. Plus they've got the HD remasters of RE0, 1 and 4 coming for Switch soon, and that Deep Down game looks pretty neat. Only miss I can think of is the fact that the MMX collection ran worse than the PS2 MMX collection, the actual original games, or an emulator that runs on a cell phone. Although I guess splitting it into 2 and letting me skip paying an extra $20 for basically the shittiest mega man games overall was nice.

that was really funny tbh, "here's $20 for some of the best action platformers ever released, and here's $20 for....mega man x5 (except we removed the cool guns n roses names) and 3 terrible games" e: i actually beat x5 for the first time recently via the collection and there are so many cool ideas in there that are absolutely, totally broken that it is kind of its own little tragedy

I didn't finish or like the first two Bioshock games at all and bought Infinite when it came out because I wasn't playing anything else at the time. I thought it was really good. Like, I had a zero expectations for it and wasn't following it's development, so I didn't know people were expecting it to change the face of video games or some poo poo. it had a cool art style and the story was entertaining, so it pretty much delivered for me, but I wasn't expecting anything more.

JollyBoyJohn posted:Then why did you play through them when someone doesn't have fun in the N hours they get told to keep going because that's not enough time to really make a fair opinion (in Bioshock's case most people would insist that you play up until the story twist), then when that person keeps going and still doesn't like it the response becomes "well why did you keep playing it for so long if it wasn't fun??" I wish people wouldn't do either of these things. We've all played video games that we wound up not liking, and some of them we probably played for way longer than we should have; there's no good reason to assign judgement to that.

I think Bioshock 1 has a cool slow pace and interesting world design and creepy bad guys and come fun combat where you fight just a couple meaty enemies. I think its a cool game.

Bioshock 1 was amazing (though the plus nding was a little lack luster). Infinite just felt like a weak reskin or clone to me. The story was a hot mess that couldn't stand alone on its own merits (having to bring rapture in to fill plot holes).

signalnoise posted:As neat as I think it is for games to try to tell compelling stories with complex emotions and stuff the best games thing is just stuff that's fun to do like jumping around in mario or kicking demon rear end This is a big reason why TF2 is still kicking. Mobility mechanics in that game are so good it's fun to just jump around on jump maps for hours, practice which is fun on its own and translates well into the core gameplay.

The best "game stories" are the ones that happen in your head while playing a game with well-developed mechanics. I have lost all interest in watching CG puppet shows between levels and being told "this is storytelling!"
