The White Dragon posted:idk make whatever difficulty balance you like imo. if you want to make a challenging game then that's cool and you shouldn't be criticized for making it too hard for some players. if you want to make a cruise game that's honestly not too difficult, low stakes low risk high chill, then that's fine too. it boils down to the creator, i don't begrudge cuphead's devs for making a hard rear end contra game, that's their poo poo right there man we'll all miss the difficulty settings in a few years when every game just has an AI in the background spying on you to determine actually how much dopamine you need at any given moment to keep playing the game

I think it's unpopular opinion but I'm sad that while a lot of old 2d games assets can be extracted and reused or just looked at, there's decades of 3d assets that are forever trapped in their game that no one plays.

ultrafilter posted:I was only vaguely aware of what had gone on with Mighty No. 9, so I thought I'd give it a try and see whether it was mostly a case of poorly managed expectations or if it's really a bad game. I can tell you with pretty high certainty that it's actually a stinker, and that there's nothing they could've done to make people like it as is. MN9 is one of the first games I quit because the controls felt so bad. Like, I think they had an acceptable speed for the character, then cut it in half so that the speed pickups would make him move at that normal speed or something. The tension on the joystick just felt really bad relative to how quickly you moved across the screen.

DS3 has some broad themes that would benefit from knowing about the cycle of death and rebirth from the first game but it's not a big deal

Barudak posted:Man Godhand was good. loved that one. it looked pretty bad graphics wise even compared to other titles of its era and the camera / tank controls were unusual for a brawler game but once you got into it it owned really hard. ridiculous story, over the top characters and great music - everything i want in a game in that genre. platinum should make a sequel / spiritual successor.

I would actually recommend playing 3 first tbh. it's going to be the least jarring coming off of Bloodborne. Some people like to talk smack on Dark Souls 3 but it's the best one. it's worth working your way backwards once you are hooked though because they are all great. 2 feels a bit shoddy compared to the others but is still fun.

Also there's countless very very high quality and beautiful assets that are only a year or 2 old that are lost forever now because they were made for some f2p game or multi game that was doa in a month in the fast paced trend chasing part of the industry.

Almost nothing video game related is truly lost compared to a lot of TV, books and to a lesser extent film though. it seems like you can dig almost all of it up in some capacity. it's kind of funny because video games are pretty dumb and they will probably end up being the most thoroughly archived form of media ever.

I mean the original code/assets for a lot of games is lost, luckily games you can reverse engineer from finished works and didnt have a period where the masters werent transfered to other mediums and then caught fire. Like original Bubble Bobble which Taito had to reverse engineer because they lost it.

Thousands of years worth of the majority of mankind's creative works are lost forever , but if I can guarantee you one thing, it's that it's very likely that 100 years from now people will be able to access a Let's Play of Custer's Revenge or Galgun if they need to.

Perhaps but because we've only had digital things for a short time they seem permanent, copies of a software do slowly break down as all the ways to store them aren't indestructible even if they're kept in a sealed vault, they become corrupted over time if no one looks after them and then you can't get them back. The online archives of Custer's revenge may already have errors in them too. Even if you keep the whole game I would like to have easier access to the assets to save them by themselves, 2d games you can rip the sprites out pretty easily and they still appear all over the place today but 3d things you mostly have to hope you can intercept it as it runs and then hope you can get all the texture files as well if you want a complete model to play with. SilvergunSuperman posted:I got Bloodborne on the freebie month and loved it, beat the poo poo out of that game. If you play 3 first it will probably make 1 less "magic" (but 3 more magic maybe? You've already played bloodborne so maybe that will be your magic souls game memory now?), you should still play 1 though. Flannelette fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jul 6, 2019 |
