▲S: it's good, folks The pace has sped up tremendously and Stuff is Happening, it's quite exciting! It's kinda hilarious how politically outmaneuvered my guys are atm, and I'll admit it's working on me, by which I mean the justice-seeking/vengeance-hungry regions of my brain are throbbing. And now I'm wondering why they made the intro so slow, it's pretty silly. I guess they wanted us to spend several hours in peacetime so that we react in horror when war does finally break out, but like, of course a war was gonna break out, no gamer would ever be caught off guard by such a development I'm playing on Normal, I'm not bad at these games and in fact have been having no issue with the combat so far, except... I just did a mission that took me four tries (chapter 7, takes place on a hill with wheat fields). Did I gently caress up by haphazardly levelling and improving everyone equally, even people with skillsets I don't care about? Was this particular mission merely a difficulty speedbump, and I'll be fine from now on? Or am I, in fact, bad at video games?

spreading levels around isn't an issue because of how the game scales exp gain but you will not get enough weapon materials for everyone your first run

This is a stupid complaint, but the title predisposed me to thinking the game had little character.

Secondly the fact that the company has been run so poorly for so long means even the people there who are skilled or talented have probably never gotten real direction or guidance and would do better in an environment conducive to creating an actual good product rather than sitting in the swamp hoping that they can drain it fast enough to salvage what is left of Halo. None of this will happen, Tech is going to get hosed six ways to Sunday and it's entirely the fault of the companies, they've all been falling upwards for decades and now that the good times are ended the ax is going to fall on the people least responsible for the failures. I just want to know why Firefox's spellcheck is so garbage, it thinks Dreamt isn't a word, learn English you piece of poo poo software.

That's a wrap on Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider. Neat little retro cyberpunk Ninja Gaiden Shinobi joint. So far in 2023 I have completed: Citizen Sleeper Vampire Survivors Batora: Lost Haven Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider Up Next: Monster Hunter Rise, which does not have a colon, unlike Monster Hunter: World. exquisite tea fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Jan 20, 2023 |

I guess they wanted us to spend several hours in peacetime so that we react in horror when war does finally break out, but like, of course a war was gonna break out, no gamer would ever be caught off guard by such a development It’s setup. It’s not a “horror of war” thing. They wanted to take their time and establish who all the players are, what they are like, what their motivations are, what the people within the country are like, ect. It then all pays off late game because you are constantly making choices about those people and places and the first part of the game setup all that lifting pays off because you seriously think about the consequences and people involved. It doesn’t lead with its best foot forward I agree, but it wasn’t without purpose.

Runa posted:I still laugh when I think about the original incarnation of the project. Yeah, I don't think Overstrike/Fuse was ever destined to become a memorable game in its own right that people cared about but at least the originally pitched version had personality. This article has Insomniac's CEO explain some of the bad decisions they made but he talks about it all like it's the coolest, smartest stuff ever. It's fun to read a decade later. "Goddamn, photo-realistic violence is so loving cool, I love this poo poo" - Ted Price, Insomniac CEO, in 2012 (paraphrased) Also IGN saying "we love it" and "utterly fantastic" in previews and then turning around to give it a 6.5 score.

Microsoft treated all of its top executives this week to a really expensive concert with musician Sting; https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-execs-private-sting-show-davos-before-mass-layoff-announcement-2023-1 As a thank you for doing so poorly that they needed to let go over 10,000 employees.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Gotham Knights also recently used this visual technique to little fanfare. In SO's case maybe it's just a bad looking thing to do to a smooth looking game. It's bad in Gotham Knights as well. That said I've been having way more fun with Gotham Knights than I expected. Been playing coop and it's been nice to have as something to jump into, do a couple nights of crime-fighting, upgrade some skills, customize a costume. I got it for $30 and I think if it had come out at that price point reviews would've been way more kind. The tone is hilariously all over the place. Driving up to a group of criminals being arrested and beating the poo poo out of the cops never gets old. Batman's DEAD mothafuckas!!

Can’t believe they launched it without coop. It was patched in just a month later right? Should’ve just held the game back until that was ready

The fact 4 player co-op is an entirely separate mode is even more of a bummer. Been playing Gotham Knights co-op myself and tbh the VAs do a great job and the story is kind of enjoyable so far. The actual character writing feels solidly done so far too, and it's been cool learning about Jason Todd as I'm less familiar with him as a whole. The Lazarus Pit magic powers are kinda silly though. edit: the mook and civilian conversation writing has also been pretty great, we've both gotten a laugh out of it a number of times now.
