Anybody who likes the river city games should check out The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa. It's like you took 'em slapped em with the Sarte and Shenmue stick and sent them out into the world. It's unabashedly my favorite video game of all time. It's a game a bunch of people are gonna bounce from, but I think it's worth a shot

Yeah it's completely licensed, just like RCRU, and includes a lot of input from the guy who made RCRU. The reason it looks different than a lot of people were used to is because it's based on the style used for a sequel called Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka, which wasn't released in NA. Basically at this point the world used for RCR is a wild sprawling collection of nonsense but it's okay because what matters is the gameplay and general style, not coherency Gaius Marius posted:Anybody who likes the river city games should check out The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa.

signalnoise posted:I never made the dumb as gently caress claim that every episode of Star Trek is great and thought-provoking sci-fi. You on the other hand made tried to use 40K for contrast against Star Trek, saying they differ so heavily on the basis of Star Trek having parts that ignore sci-fi, while 40K "revels" in being sci-fi. You used this as a point of differentiation, despite 40K being so "fantasy with power armor and spaceships" that 100+ dollar models can be used in both 40K and Age of Sigmar, and them having demons. All of what I've given you here are glaring counterexamples. QuarkJets posted:You've misinterpreted what my view is. I'm saying that the worst examples of not-thought-provoking sci-fi exist within Star Trek, not that the entirety of Star Trek is that way The contrast between 40k and Star Trek was about genre inclusion versus genre escape. "These are wizards, but in space" can still be sci-fi despite wizards normally appearing in fantasy. That basically describes Jedi, it really depends on what you do with them. "We put giant cathedrals on top of a massive robot" is not thought-provoking sci-fi but it's still sci-fi. Star Trek sometimes has genre inclusion. TOS has the Enterprise meeting the Greek God Apollo, but the episode remains firmly rooted in sci-fi because of how it is written. But sometimes the series uses genre escape, probably because the writers are being ordered to reuse spare props and costumes from a different set, and those episodes tend to be really bad. I'm not aware of any 40k fiction that completely departs from the setting like Star Trek tends to

If it hits I guarantee it'll hit. It's a game about finding what matters to you in the world. Finding purpose, and the end of adolescence. Written with such a palpable sense of Ennui and Existential dread that you know it came from a Russian. If we can measure art by the reaction it evokes in the viewer, I can say I've never seen a game that's left me with such a sense of hollowness before, It's true art in every sense of the word.

Also, the only good Warhams books are the Ciaphas Caine ones. It's Sam Wimes from Discworld in the grimdark future. Only ever read one of the books tho.

star trek and warhammer 40k are extremely similar in that they are both, in their own way, compelling settings for speculative fiction that have resulted in 0 good video games despite multiple attempts over decades

Earwicker posted:star trek and warhammer 40k are extremely similar in that they are both, in their own way, compelling settings for speculative fiction that have resulted in 0 good video games despite multiple attempts over decades Star Trek Online had surprisingly good ship to ship combat and I had fun customizing my crew but at the same time you're absolutely correct about this  My enjoyment of video games has improved since I stopped playing games where the way to make it fun is to play outside the intent. STO was basically only made fun for me by considering it to be the same style as Saints Row, using a cutlass and dropkicking a cybernetic t-rex, dressing up all my crew like they're on shore leave, etc. It would be really cool to have a genuinely good Star Trek game but I think that based on recent movies and TV shows it would just be a big adventure with not a lot of introspection or anything like that. That could be a really cool game too but they'd need to commit to it hard and not try to bundle in expectations of the story that they only halfway fulfill.

But W40K not having good games is indefensible. Just license the Red Faction Guerrilla engine or something.

Caesar Saladin posted:The bosses are designed to be fought 1 on 1. I don't really care either way, I'm poo poo at souls games but love them, maybe you're right that I haven't really finished them. But this point here is dumb as all gently caress, FROM literally designed the summon mechanic into their game. To say "they're designed to be done solo" is just objectively and obviously not true, lol. They very VERY clearly designed them to be fought solo, or as a pair, because when they designed them, they were definitely aware of the summon mechanic that they also designed.

I guess technically it was an expansion but I think it was standalone, as in you could play it without owning the base game of DOW1 DOW2 was also quite good

Yes, and some NPCs can show up for multiple bosses. I'm not certain but there may actually be more fights with optional NPC summons than not. In each game there's even a multiplayer covenant that gives rewards based on helping people kill bosses enough times. It's a pretty core mechanic to the series

Yeah, like, to say it's "designed" to be played solo is just totally wrong. I guess the point trying to be made is more like, "by giving you the option of making it easier on yourself, you haven't experienced the full gamut of what the game has to offer unless you also take the solo version" which like, yeah, I mean, I guess, but surely a more accurate take is that unless you've finished the game with a bunch of different builds you haven't finished a souls game? Like there's more to see with equipment than there is with 'gitting gud'?

Workaday Wizard posted:Shadow of the Colossus is a loving masterpiece. I liked both a lot on release, but I tried to play the Shadow of Colossus remaster and got stuck at the first wall because there was no indication about what I could and could not climb and the controls were aggressively dated so I'm happy just to leave my happy memories of it in 2005 or whenever it was. I also played the Katamari Damacy remaster recently and that's held up better, but sometimes I can't believe I put up with the janky bullshit videogames would pull from around 1996 to maybe about 2011.
