I feel bad for the Sunset Overdrive devs. It's obvious they put a lot of love into that game and it's basically forgotten due to MS trying to make cable boxes. And it is a legit good game. Lots of fun details in the environments. The writing is fun. Game play is really good, though it takes a little while to fully open up and get great. It looks really good, too.

Its got a lot of flaws. If it had been a Nintendo or Sony title it would have scored a point higher on a 10 point scale, which can be true at the same time. For a while you could go into metacritic (maybe you still can) and basically any multi plat release even ones with performance problems on other platforms would average 2 points higher out of 100 than what they did on xbox.

galagazombie posted:You know what I miss? Custom Games or even just lobby’s with randos. These days so few games give you a way to play anything that isn’t matchmade narrowly defined by devs gametype and map, is to have at least a dozen acquaintances who all play at the same time of day, own the same game, and play said game on the same console/PC. Remember when you could just join something on a server/game list and find something novel? And I’m not even talking about crazy stuff that turned things into full on new games like the original Counterstrike and Team Fortress, just stuff like turning on max vehicle spawns or changing starting weapons and the like. And instead of either going to a completely new group from scratch every match or the exact same people every night forever. boot up unreal tournament, servers are still there

If Splatoon had been a PS or XB game I still think it would have been much less popular Of course, it was a unique for Nintendo first party , getting big attention for the relatively unpopular wiiu ,AND riding the amiibo craze that tied directly into that title when it came out. I'm sure it's done big numbers once it got a switch version but I suspect a lot of its original fandom has moved to Fortnite.

It’s way more that the Nintendo brand is associated with quality in peoples heads (whether you think it’s deserved or not) and thus people are more willing to try out weird poo poo like “a versus multiplayer shooter where you can’t shoot each other you’re all squids” because “Nintendo wouldn’t be releasing this if it wasn’t good”

Same goes for the Killer Instinct reboot Also Splatoon was fun and Nintendo games largely deserve their positive reputation.

Yeah Splatoon rules. I generally dislike online shooters but Splatoon is different enough that it doesn't feel like one. Also the original was my first experience with gyro controls which are a total gamechanger for console shooters.

Harrow posted:Star Fox Zero..... It’s amazing how Nintendo keeps bungling this franchise when all anyone wants is essentially a Starfox 64 level expansion. Nintendo’s fine doing it with Mario Kart (Hell they’re currently releasing all new tracks for the 8 year old last entry) so I don’t see why they can’t do it for Starfox.

splatoons an ok game but the online infrastructure nintendo uses is so incredibly bad it really drags it down. ruined smash for me too. i just really can't believe i can remember back to when i played cheapo games like outtrigger on a 56k on my dreamcast and didnt have to deal with constant stuttering and dropouts compared to nintendos service.

Splatoon is like a slightly more polished and slightly less horny Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, and I wish anyone played Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash online because the actual gameplay is pretty fun even if its just with the bots from the surprisingly lengthy story mode.

It doesnt even need the Kinect since somebody close to release thankfully realized that was dumb and ended up being a 7/10 character action game that historical lookback would convince you was a 3/10 shitpile

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:There's a deep-seated resistance to Xbox, for whatever reason, that makes this a self-fulfilling prophecy and prevents them from gaining traction. Microsoft's pretty bad at developing their own franchises and has a history of hyping and then ignoring and abandoning their popular stuff that predates the Xbox. I blame their ridiculous internal politics.

I still remember how a lot of folks thought Brute Force and The Outfit were going to be big hits, but they just sort of came and went with little attention. I even remember Sudeki having quite a bit of attention before its launch, too. (I might be thining of Jade Empire, though) I'm still a bit surprised Fable managed to become a long-running Xbox franchise, though. edit: Project Spark Hell, I remember the promo stuff for Spark and being really interested in it. It seemed to get a bit of a boom in interest when I think someone remade the P.T. in it, and then the next time I heard of it was seeing a copy of it on a clearance rack at a store. It completely felt like it ultimately went under the radar. I know Dreams likely hasn't been the big hit Sony was really hoping for, but it seems like Dreams sparked (no pun intended) more continued interest and support since release despite that.

Only about a quarter of players saw the last mission in Saints Row IV (according to Steam achievements). For most people, the "end" of a video game is the bit where you got bored or distracted by something else and stopped playing. I don't know what proportion of people who get a false end then go on to get the real one, but my guess is it would be a decent chunk. Because by that time you've already whittled it down to the most dedicated players.

All the superpowers in SR4 felt so bad, it felt like playing one of those GTA superpowers mod. They felt and looked like poo poo compared to something like Infamous 2 which had a real feel of power and momentum to it. Lifting a car in that game felt like you were picking up something huge but in SR4 it looked like a hollow piece of styrofoam.
