It's not on steam, but I got the Katamari on Switch because I'd never got to play it when it came out, and having never actually touched the series at all, its still really, really fun and well made, years later.

I what? I don't remember that but I'd be entertained if you can find where I said that. I'd like to see how far I've come since then if it exists, along with the context in which I might have said something like that. I'm flattered you've remembered me for this long in the sea of posters on this site though.

Definitely get into the Little Nightmares DLC, it wraps up into the main story in a very appropriate way. I think I sympathised with the Boy more than Six, so it had more emotional impact.

At the very least it does have the best control scheme and movement, that's true. Ironically both Ground Zeroes and Survive put it to better use though.

MGSV's act 2 teaser was such a huge slap to the face. When you first see it, you are filled with amazement at all the cool rear end poo poo that is yet to come. Then over the next couple hours the truth slowly dawns on you and you come to resent the game.

Out of all the games with dev diaries, this one really makes me scratch my head. Still, the option to play custom music from your helicopter never got old. This track was tailor-made for it, and I highly recommend everyone to test it out in-game.

MGS5 plays really well, but the narrative elements are definitely lacking compared to the high points in the series. I think I have over 100 hours in it, though, and I don't regret any of them.

Blattdorf posted:I wonder if anyone will ever come clean about what the hell happened during development. Out of all the games with dev diaries, this one really makes me scratch my head. Eh, it genuinely feels like Kojima was getting all Kojima about the game and was taking a silly amount of time to make it perfect. Konami probably did get impatient and made the business decision to ship out a product that was way past its deadline and only about 50% complete in order to at least try and recoup some of their expenses on it. Konami are probably the ones who put in all the grinding poo poo (missions and item unlocks, etc) to try and disguise how little content there actually was after however many years it spent in development and the fallout is what we got with Kojima being removed from the project and parting ways with the company and a clearly half baked game getting released. In short, Kojima was probably favouring Art over practicality. Konami probably forecast a bad ROI on the project and (the potential of actually losing money on it despite the brand), so made the call to force something out the door to make money where they could. It would be interesting to know much much money Sutherland got for replacing Hayter given how little dialogue he has in the game.

I think a better way to describe it, is he spent all his time perfecting individual systems, rather than perfecting the overall design, getting things to mesh in a coherent fashion. I think that's a more agreeable way of phrasing my issues with the game than just calling it the best playing bad game. That's why it's got so many neat interactions and feels so good, but has no reason to use 90% of them.

I mean part of it is also Konami actively loving with and abusing staff during the whole process, they can't have helped. Otoh there's a bunch of stuff wrong with it that seems wholly on Kojima and Konami would have had nothing to do with. Like the story is busted and incomplete and Konami probably has a lot of the blame for that, but the degree it was creepy about women and replacing Hayter with Keifer is probably all on Kojima. I doubt Konami mandated the former, and I have to imagine they probably opposed replacing Hayter with the much more expensive Kiefer, that was probably all Kojima being a starfucker. And Kojima wasting so much money on Kiefer probably contributed to a lot of the other problems with the game, even beyond Snake having to be stupidly silent to a degree that hurt what story was in the game. And Kiefer just being a markedly worse voice actor than Hayter. And the change being classless and tacky on top of that.

Immortal Defense is beautiful and surreal and haunting, but I don't know that I'd say it bucks many mechanical conventions of TD games. I think you'd be better off with Creeper World or X-Morph in that department.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/solidsnakesbandana/ I did pick up Hypercharge Unboxed, although I'm going back and forth on whether or not I want to return it. Mainly because its kind of a Tower Defense game. I tried to get a couple of my gamer pals in on it but nobody bit, so I can't even test it to see if its more fun in multiplayer. Also something about the idea of having an actually decent split screen game that I can bust out when I need to is appealing.

The way the story intertwines with the visuals and gameplay is extremely impressive. Previously Tower Defense games felt too... I dunno, "gamey"? I feel the same way about card games. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want the game to successfully suspend my disbelief. Before today I would not have thought a game like Immortal Defense would successfully suspend my disbelief, but here we are.
