*wakes up, makes coffee, slams a painkiller, loads a bowl, grabs a brownie, sees a 3 and a half hour video about why MGS 4 was a mistake* Well good morning to you all as well

I just remember seeing a bunch of ads for it, I never played it, but my fiancee had it and she said it was weird and kind of like a point and click adventure game and I think that's what the preview videos made it look like too

All the naysaying about mgs4 set my expectations low enough to really enjoy it. Its a mess of a game but the lows are balanced out by some truly great moments. Mgs4 is... Good.

I don't think I'm epileptic but flashing lights still make my eyes hurt, forget shipping a game, how do these people keep even making games this bad and just like, not notice even a little bit. Like, can other people seriously stare at a TV of rapidly flashing lights and not feel anything?

Near the end of Thimbleweed Park there was a room with flashing red lights that was painful to look at. Hope they’ve fixed it now.

i played Magic Legends. this game seems like an accident, like it was designed by a cat walking across a keyboard, i have a hard time believing anything about it is intentioned. its a huge problem if your game hangs its hat on one big mechanic that ultimately makes zero sense, such as sticking all your ARPG abilities into a big deck and drawing them at random so there's zero opportunity for you to plan or strategize. like in any other ARPG you would set up your abilities with the intention of using them in a certain order, you have summons and stuff that you want to get up early, a basic rotation of damage spells and debuffs that you might want to cycle through, buttons that you might press in certain eventualities like idk corpse explosion in Diablo/PoE. Magic Legends has all that too, the design of the spells are pretty much identical to gems in PoE, you just, only have 4 out of 12 available to you at a time and you have to hope you get the ones that are actually useful, you might just not get your summon spells until the fight is over, you might get them twice in a row in which case they're useless because casting summon skeleton again doesnt summon more skeletons, it replaces the ones that are already out. do you need to heal? well there's a 1 in 12 chance you'll draw your heal spell, don't need to heal? well you can hang on to it but now you only have 3 slots in your hand to cycle spells. + there is zero permanent association between what button you press and what spell you cast which seems to me like an important thing in an ARPG, you set up your hotbar in a specific way and you know that hitting 1 will cast a fireball every time, here that spell constantly shifts around your bar as you draw it, and the only indication what button does what is glancing down at your hand and trying to discern what the icons mean. I'm a necromancer, all my cards are purple and have skeletons on them!! half the time I have zero idea what I'm actually casting at any given moment, other than if it has the sorcery icon or is a summon spell its like an Artifact level of getting constrained by being overly adherent to the source material. dota has three lanes so obviously the dota card game needs to be three simultaneous card games, magic has cards so obviously the magic rpg has to be about building decks of cards. or more cynically, if you look at the store and how the spell upgrade system works, has to be about selling booster packs and enabling a secondary market for buying and selling cards and pages also on top of all that, structurally the game makes zero sense also. huge wide open zones with absolutely nothing in them, you can go minutes running around them without seeing any enemies. which works out fine, because magic legends is not a loot game, there's barely any value to killing enemies because they don't drop anything interesting. almost all of your progress comes in big spikes opening chests at the end of instances which largely take the form of MMO style dungeons that are also largely empty (and have no side passages or optional treasure) or bad tower defense/arena fights, on daily and weekly timers. its a MMO mobage pretending to be a diabloesque its a bad game

homeless snail posted:i think the deck mechanic is a big part of why they don't though. they messed up basic poo poo like making the enemies take damage and do their get hit animations as soon as the spell effects touch them, so it's hard for me to tell if any of the rest of the game worked. and like you said, the part where all your spells have the same icon and basically the same effect didn't help, either. it's funny, i hadn't realized how much heavy lifting magic's card names do--they're super evocative, and they really lose something when they're turned into generic colored explosions. i was optimistic! like, baten kaitos wasn't amazing, but it was okay enough; drawing skills from a hand of cards needn't be this much of a failure. e: crap, not baten kaitos, i'm thinking of something else: actionier, but also on the gamecube, maybe? dreamless fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Mar 26, 2021 |

Isn't Legends an ARPG? I can think of a few real-time games with cards (Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Lost Kingdoms) that I liked, but it generally doesn't seem like a good genre for that.

People like that One Step from Eden game but yeah that was the same deal for me, a real-time game where you draw a bunch of stuff at random, the cognitive burden of remembering what all the cards did and translating that into tactical decisions in the battlefield was not fun to me

i kinda liked magic battlegrounds, that worked okay as an action card game, but also 15 years later that game is just clash royale. its probably an idea that works a lot better pvp where you're directly comparing one deck against another

Magic Legends is so bad that Day9, a man who is literally working for WotC doing ads and streams, said it was a 0/10 game that was fundamentally irredeemable.

I think they could have made the card gimmick work if they had actually gone all in on it instead of... well, a thin veneer over a bad game.
