Ninja Theory actually has a better track record than the DMC franchise, since before it was handed over to them it only had 1.5 good games across four different installments while Ninja Theory has never made a bad game.

Their Journey to the West game was good?

Good to have it confirmed that classic Dante cares about his personal hygiene. That's always something I took for in a videogame protagonist.

Well, he's gotta. White hair would show dirt pretty easily, and he went shirtless for an entire game.

You're going to have to explain to me what was lovely about Twin Snakes. Is it just that the game is a remake?

I think the people who didn't like Twin Snakes didn't like it made the cutscenes a whole lot more wild and silly, like Snake kick-jumping off a rocket.

Persona 4 makes it very clear that Naoto absolutely is not trans.

Yeah. Naoto just worked in a hugely male-dominated field, and felt like she wouldn't get any respect because she is a girl, which is why she presented herself as a boy while on the job. Her Shadow took that to an extreme conclusion (become a boy so her peers would treat her as an equal) because that is what Shadows do.

Another random Problem With Video Games: there has not, to my knowledge, been a CCG/RPG hybrid quite like Pokemon TCG on the Game Boy Color. Sure, there's dozens of Yu Gi Oh games, but they're all kinda trash and there's nothing there except the card game itself.

There was Magi-nation, which also had a real card game. It was a full, save the world jrpg but with cards.

Danger - Octopus! posted:

Given the game is funded by microtransactions, you'd think they'd have one for this of all things.

I mean yes, it'd mean new character models but they already have armour that can fit to any of the character models so if the female Duelist was just a palette swap of one of the female classes, that'd still be good.

That's what the oldass MMO SUN did when it finally got rid of genderlocks (long after the English version shut down, of course). The alternate genders of the classes were just the male/female models from the most similar class, since they used the same armor items in the first place.

I don't know if it felt better to play in 3D -

It didn't. It kept the card battle mechanics, but threw them into full 3d environments, complete with having to move the camera and platforming. It worked much better on the GBA because it was a 2d sidescroller.

When has this ever happened? Hard mode in Metroid obviously doesn't count.

Here's one: Wolf Link.

Records the amount of health you had when you cleared the Twilight Princess rerelease's bonus dungeon, and let's you summon a Wolf Link in Breath of The Wild with that number of hearts. It's the only "permanent" summonable pet in the entire game.

And as the game goes on, gets more and more useless because it never gains any armor or attack. By midgame he's useless because you're facing enemies who just whomp him once and whoop he's gone.

Useful at endgame or not, it was a part of the game only accessible by buying an entire separate game and an Amiibo.

Morpheus posted:

It came with Twilight Princess. And anyways it wasnt something required, or even important at all, it was a bonus. It's like when games give you something for having save data from another game.

The point was that it is a unique feature tied to an Amiibo, whether that Amiibo was included with another game does not matter. If Wolf Link wasn't the ONLY permanent ally/pet in the entire game, it wouldn't matter. Like Epona is in the good category of bonuses, because other horses exist.

Other games with save data bonuses are usually cosmetic, just some extra items, or a unique kind of pet (get a tiny Commander Shepard, in a game that has pets, if you have a Mass Effect save, for example). They don't usually give you a kind of thing that does not exist without the bonus.

My Irrationally Irritating moment with Shadow of Mordor/War is that they're inexplicably Lord of the Rings games. They keep trying to push these wacky and goofy orcs, and it completely clashes with the dour and grim visuals. And on the flip side, the constant self-seriousness kind of hampers how properly crazy they can go with the orcs.

Imagine if it was done with Warhammer orcs. That's a much better fit, tonally and visually.

Even in the LOTR books, the Orcs weren't just KILLMAIMBURN. They had social structures and settlements (Goblin Town from the Hobbit), they laughed and sang, and were generally intelligent (they rivaled dwarves in mining, and knew smithing and medicine).

They were pretty much proto-Warhammer Orks in some ways. They even tinkered with machinery and explosives like 40k's Orks (Goblin Town, again).

Other way around. Liquid Snake had the recessive genes, which is what motivates him to kill Solid Snake and prove himself as the real heir to Big Boss.

No, Solid actually was the "inferior" clone. The very end of the credits has Ocelot explaining that he was lying to Liquid the entire time, about Liquid being the "inferior" clone. "He believed himself to be the inferior one. .... The inferior clone won after all."

Until the sequel, at which point they can man armies strong enough to rival a combined effort from the rest of the galaxy.

3 was so dumb.

Cerberus was brainwashing and experimenting on refugees in 3. You straight up go to one of their "refugee centers" and see this. That is where their new army came from.

Also Cerberus was all being Indoctrinated by the Reaper-tech they were studying (and then using in the cybernetic enhancements), which explains the change in the organization's mindset.

It's weird that savepoints are even a thing still. It's 2018, let me save when and wherever, into as many slots as my memory can support.

You can save almost anywhere in Automata, if you aren't currently in a fight, just by opening the menu.

The save points are basically manual checkpoints. They only have a "quick save" that automatically overwrites the current save file.

I genuinely hate the healing-system in 3 and 4. You can hold up to 8 syringes, but I never, ever hit the max amount. If you want to recover from a little-damage you have to use an entire syringe, instead of going through a finger-pulling animation. Regenerating-health would have been better.

More games should take that part of Dungeon Siege. Only use as much of that healing juice as you need, and put the cap back on.
