X JAKK posted:That reminds me of this I think SNES game that was like river city ransom with better proportioned characters and you could rip ladies purses away and beat them to death with with it. There was actually a River City/Kunio-Kun game on the SNES, though it didn't get a Western release. (the one where the protagonists of River City Girls were first playable, and the game makes a fourth wall breaking joke about it) That franchise is really funny because it had a ton of different NES games that were all localised by different companies who had no idea the games where connected, so under a bunch of different names like River City Ransom and Crash 'n' The Boys Dodgeball and so on.

!Klams posted:One of the best gaming experiences of my life was getting good at Capcom vs SNK 2 with a friend of mine Lee, over a weekend. There was a party on Saturday, we both got there (mutual friends' house) early Friday, and were just kicking it playing CvS2 most of the day, learning the ropes, completing arcade mode, etc. Mutual friend was happy watching. By the end of the day we'd kind of found our preferred characters and playstyles. Then Saturday, the party, was awesome, and at around 5am it dried up, but because me and Lee both fell asleep in the front room, we got woken up pretty early with people leaving, and were too monged out to really get up and do anything, so we just fired up the console again, and just did random characters against each other. To throw a tiger knee these days means I can't walk and gotta rub this in for a week.

I couldn't understand the point of Ghost of Tsushima with it's middling sword play. No decapitations, no amputations, I played it for maybe 6 hours and didn't see any one hit kills. Why does everyone gently caress up swords? Swords don't drain your health, they kill or maim you. Just copy bushido blade. The mechanics were perfect.

Decapitations and arm chopping get unlocked as abilities as part of the story (though imo they should just be a thing you can do instead of some kind of special super attack, no argument there), and Lethal mode sounds like it’d play like you expect it to. It’s still kind of video gamey, but rather than being a bog standard “super hard” mode, it makes you and your enemies about as resilient as tissue paper. Definitely the best way to play the game.

FoolyCharged posted:I will never understand this belief. Their stories are nothing special and weren't even any more detailed than other games in their heyday. In their heyday from when I (an old man) played them, around the SNES era, they were basically the only games with stories and it was sort of novel at the time. I was shocked to learn that there were people who had been playing them for the gameplay. Besides the gameplay being simple, there's tons of story padding you'd have to put up with between gameplay sequences.

VR, like waggle controls before it, misunderstands the fundamental purpose of videogame controls. To put the minimum amount of barriers between a nerve firing in your brain and the game reacting to said nerve. Every extra amount of brain activity needed to coordinate physical movements or the actual real world time it take to perform a real world movement is a failure on the part of the game. The reason controllers are still the default method of control and will remain the default method of control is because they reduce the barrier from brain to game to a few millimeters of thumb movement. Until a method of control is invented that involves even less barriers, controllers are here to stay and motion/vr will remain a novelty.

I feel like I read this post somewhere before and it's as wrong now as it was then. By that logic playing a racing game with a wheel and pedals is worse than just using WASD.

The VR experience is very good, and VR controllers are very good, the issue is that you're effectively a mobile turret in VR and that massively limits the types of games you can play in VR. I can imagine in maybe one or two more generations people will be considering buying a good VR headset over a nice monitor and just using it fulltime.

Neuro-tech will be the breaking point for VR becoming viable. ...and probably the downfall of society. But seriously, VR is different than just competitive gaming that requires precision movement with your hands. Both are viable for their own genres.

The pinnacle of video game controls is the Switch’s ability to let you play with your arms relaxing on either side like a lazy piece of poo poo. I never want to move my neck or arms when playing a video game.

I borrowed a VR headset from my uni library for a weekend and tooled around in some of the free VR games on steam but it didn't really grab me. Maybe 'room-scale' VR is more engaging but like most people I'm not about to dedicate an entire room to this gizmo and its trackers, and seated VR stuff isn't that hot. Then again I've never really been the kind of person to be really interested in "immersion" in games

I don't think I could ever be down for VR. I don't want to play a game that takes all my senses. I do a lot of phone reading and podcast listening when I play games. Also imagine how many nut taps will happen between boys aged 18-24 while they have a VR headset on.

The oculus quest 2 proved you can do perfect VR without cameras and it's such an insane leap forward This is also partly why I think it will get a lot more use outside of gaming, because a quest 2 headset and controllers is super small and portable in comparison to a giant monitor. They are working on tech to bring your peripherals info VR too so I can totally see writing code or text documents or whatever, things you would never expect to do in VR, in VR in the near future. You can do it now, but I would say the quest headset is about 20% too bulky and about 50% too uncomfortable to do this for any normal period of time.

Also imagine how many nut taps will happen between boys aged 18-24 while they have a VR headset on. This is one of those things already partially solved. The latest Quest update tracks intrusions into your playspace, preventing nutshots and cat-related mishaps and if you're playing PCVR you can pin random windows to your hand or playspace that persist even while playing games, eg. having a Netflix window playing Seinfeld while space trucking in Elite Dangerous is a thing people are already doing. Outright bringing your phone into VR is possible too, I did it back in 2017, but it requires fiddling with Android debug bullshit and interaction was clunky. You can also tap the headset twice to enable passthrough. VR really isn't as isolating as you might think, more work needs to be done though.  To do this I used a phone mirroring app and brought the window into VR, pinning it to the palm of my left hand. Interactions worked too, though since it was going through a few layers (VR>cursor emulation>touch emulation) it felt a bit jank. More a proof of concept than something fully usable but it shows it can work. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Nov 8, 2021 |

I’m amazed to have found a car racing game that I actually enjoy as I usually find myself bored to tears within a day or two. I picked up Wreckfest for peanuts on Steam and it is actually good because the whole point is to smash the poo poo out of everyone else and play dirty.

It's a lot of fun but the championship mode still pales compared to the original destruction derby. That poo poo is hard as gently caress and incredibly satisfying, this is way too easy.
