Every time I see one of these games I think to myself ‘this is the time Justin is gonna try something new and not just rely on his Morty voice for the 10th time.’ Without fail every game is just Justin pulling out his Morty voice, except this time he’s talking even more. Dwarf Fortress came out for Steam a little back and it’s honestly really good. It’s got a UI, mouse support and even graphics. The problem is they changed the way some of the game’s systems worked from the original version. Because of this, sometimes I’ll be looking at a guide or wiki and it will be giving me instructions from the old game - which has way more documentation on it. moosecow333 has a new favorite as of 19:12 on Dec 16, 2022 |

Justin Roiland has been doing the exact same act the exact same way for a decade at this point. The guy is the absolute platonic form of hack comedy. He's xennial Ray Jay Johnson But then again his stuff is staggeringly popular and profitable so maybe I'm just not the target audience

Started replaying Mirrors Edge Catalyst and although the game itself is still real fun, it highlights what a lovely idea tying stuff to an app/online is. None of the things that the app did are particularly necessary, and the online stuff was mostly time trials but the game feels like someone took a big bite out of it without it

I don't know how much the average Genshin player enjoys the dialogue in this game but it can't possibly be as much as the devs think they do. Just mashing my way through ten minutes of dialogue to get to the actual interesting things and not just this annoying flying imp screeching and interjecting after every sentence.

Dialog is fine, voiced dialog is a danger, especially in RPGs. I firmly believe that if Final Fantasy IX were voiced, it woud be the most hated game in the series.

I think it is a very funny, very stupid decision to have the like five voice actors for Skyrim voice the exact same lines of dialogue other voice actors say. I get it, that you don't want every single Orc or Nord to sound the same, but it's weird when the words are still the same, even if the actor is different. I definitely feel RPGs don't need voice acting beyond "Hello, citizen," or maybe just a few important lines, like in Baldur's Gate, say, how the villain might voice the opening line, "You! You again! This is the last time you'll make it this far." But the voiced part doesn't keep going, and it gives me a chance to read the rest of the very long monologue in my head, which is faster, and the opening line has already given me plenty of flavor and an idea of this character's tone and inflections. It's perfect. credburn has a new favorite as of 04:54 on Dec 18, 2022 |

Just mashing my way through ten minutes of dialogue to get to the actual interesting things and not just this annoying flying imp screeching and interjecting after every sentence. The dialogue is actually why I quit playing. It was one of the early events, the starfall one, where I just wanted to move on and do the vent to get my gems so I could take a roll on the gacha and there were so god drat many texboxes to click through for this event that meant literally nothing and eventually I just alt-F4'd in the middle of the dialogue and never went back. But just to make it worse, this even infected their other game at the time, Honkai Impact 3rd where there was a crossover event and they introduced a character I already wasn't partial to, Fischl, into honkai and every single time she was onscreen there was like ten times as many dialogue boxes to click through as there ever were for any other character. It sucked and I hate genshin impact solely because of the writing.

The worst offender for the "reuse the same line with different voice actors" isn't in Skyrim or any other Bethesda game; it's actually in Fallout: New Vegas. There's (well, everybody, but specifically, Mean Sonovabitch) Mean Sonovabitch also calls Westside "Wesibe" (pronounced sort of like "wasabi" because the voice actor seemingly wasn't told that the character has a speech impediment). Apparently this is a somewhat common thing for videogame voice actors, particularly 'background npc' types, who just get pages of lines to read without any context. Mean Sonovabitch is just a prominent example, because his lines stick out so much compared to everyone around him (humans with working tongues).

A weird bug in New Vegas was that two characters got their "goodbye" lines transposed, so there's a crazy raider out there who calmly says "farewell" and a solemn brotherhood scribe who says "lllllater!!" This is a fun one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BttKIveIHsQ&t=28s

Hell Let Loose I am so sick of WWII games. They are all the same "instadead from nowhere, now spend 60-180+ seconds walking back to the front - oh blown up by artillery, again" routine. So much time just sitting at the respawn screen, so little time in action. Each game more realistic than the one before!!! And my discord buddies love the poo poo so much they bought me a copy, now I HAVE to put in some good faith game time. Enlisted is the first WWII game I've liked because you play a whole squad of guys at once, meaning you get more kills (there are more bodies on the field) and insta-death means much less when you can quantum-leap into the guy behind you and get revenge right away.

Every town building game that lets you do curves with roads: The fact that building placement is still at 45 (or worse, 90) degree angles. It looks so ugly and you may as well just stick with the grid layout.

Croccers posted:I never used the app for that game. What did it add? Main thing I remember is that you constantly unlock new player icons or maybe individual pieces ala MGSV but the icon editor was in the app. Not important at all, but you're frequently being reminded of a feature that's not actually in the game. And naturally there's a in-game tab for your player profile where it would be located, and it just flatly tells you to go use the app. I'm sure whichever EA exec responsible was real proud for the five seconds between coke binges.

I got an email a day or two ago informing me of an event in Injustice 2 mobile. That's approaching two games ago for Netherrealm, and those aren't exactly games with short shelf lives. Granted, Injustice 2 Mobile was a game in and of itself rather than just a companion app, but it's still nuts.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag had one. No longer available. Assassin's Creed: Unity had one. You had to use the app for something, but they added that to the game after obvious complaints. No longer available. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had one. You could find triangles in game that allowed you to unlock media in the app. No longer available. Hitman: Absolution had one. I think it allowed you to view a whole lot of stats about the contracts mode and create a list of contracts that you would want to play later. Also information about the series and its missions in general. No longer available. Them being no longer available is not just a companion app thing, I think in general a lot of things related to those sort of apps don't have a long lifetime. Why spend time maintaining the app when both software and hardware are seeing frequent changes and additions? Why keep the servers running for something that would barely see use even if the app was being updated? Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 10:36 on Dec 18, 2022 |

in destiny 2, using the app (or a third party website) is the only way to grab weapons from your stash without sitting through a zillion load screens: quit to orbit from the planet you're on, fly + load into the hub zone, physically walk around to the vault console, interact with it there, quit to orbit from the hub, load back into the planet you were on. and all this requires breaking party too. ...in a game where your inventory capacity outside your stash is a tiny 9 weapons per slot, including dropped loot you just picked up, and everything else goes to the stash automatically. there are more than 9 weapon types! even if you only ever use one weapon per type and completely ignore the element system, subtypes, the dozens of unique / 'exotic' weapons, you still won't have enough inventory space to use all of them without the app. and it's a game that often asks you to get kills using specific elements and specific weapon types for challenges RPATDO_LAMD has a new favorite as of 10:52 on Dec 18, 2022 |

Ghost Recon Wildlands had its own guerrilla game as a companion app, I can't remember if it gave you any rewards in the actual game but they used the game map. Not sure if it still works. Mass Effect Andromeda had the Apex HQ app that tied into the game, you could recruit, level and equip Apex squads (basically Citadel Security teams but in Andromeda  ), then send them to missions that were slightly related to the story or multiplayer mode. I think you can also manage your multplayer characters and loadouts from the app. Successful missions would get you "lootboxes" that yielded gear and materials for the crafting part in Andromeda's singleplayer. The app might still work, it's still available on app stores.Leal posted:I'm reminded of the one for GTA V that had something to do with a dog

Destiny's app was the only way to find out anything about anyone or anything in the world. I feel like a message that something was added to the grimoire (?) popped up on the screen like every fifteen minutes but God help you if you wanted to view it in the game.

Not an app but I remember Infamous: Second Son had the whole 'Paper Trail' quest where the only way to advance it was by finding clues in-game, using those clues to find websites and stuff in real life, and then using the information on those sites to figure out where to go next in the game. Of course all those sites are long since debunk, so if you wanna do Paper Trail now (not sure why you would since there isn't even an achievement for it) you literally have to follow a guide.
