Which is awesome if you consider if it were a lesser game by a less ingenious team they would've never hanged a lampshade on the issue outside of serious conversations between the boring femme fatale and more boring protag; and then revealed that he was a CIA agent in the third act during a super serious scene where a sober Heck backstabs you.

mind the walrus posted:It really is just a "my immersion" thing. I'm not going to knock that, we all have our little preferences to fiction when it comes to what immerses us and what jerks us out of it, but it never mattered to me personally. It's a sign of attention to detail; if a developer has the ability to make sure that small details like feet are visible then it shows how much care and effort they put into the game. Though it's not always a sign of general quality, but it makes the consumer feel better about what they're playing; like a chocolate on the pillow of a hotel room, it doesn't change the quality of the visit but it does create the image that the hotel puts effort into the details.

Which makes it so bizarre that their big claim to fame now is Dark Souls.

Nohman posted:Make it a reboot that is actually a stealth sequel. I mean the Saints have a time machine to gently caress up history with. Just make it seemingly a reboot of the series with the Saints first starting out and Ultor being the big bads but with a few things off due to time fuckery and then have it go weird places using the new Time Lord old crew. It could work. This could actually work, if you place a post-SR4 Boss into a (much more polished) SR1 you could have a real interesting premise there. Plus if you had an actually talented writer (as impossible as that may be) it could provide some good commentary on how franchises tend to exaggerate their characteristics as they go along.

I love how in Dark Souls 1, when you beat Oreos and Smores the rest of the game feels kinda easy in comparison. It really makes you feel like you've come a long way when you realize that the areas would've taken you at least three times as long if you went straight for them at the start of the game.

I believe they mean instead of meaning "respond non-violently to your oppressor", I think they mean more in the "taking your ball and going home" in response to seeing your enemies. Either that or it means 'enemies' in an ironic sense, that the character will act contrarily to whomever the perceive as an enemy.

Red Bones posted:With all the characters in Kingdom Hearts being various degrees of magical soul clones of each other, the stuff Shimamura does with mixing character themes without them sounding really jumbled is really impressive. Man, I always have a good amount of fondness for the first one; it was fun and it's whole tone was about recreating that kind of magic you feel at Disneyland as a kid without making teenage me feel like I was playing a kid's game. I never could get into the second one though, due to it's overwhelming amounts of "here's this thing we introduced in the GBA spin-off that you never played" and dumb lore.

I cracked open my copy of the Witcher 3 yesterday, and the first thing that you see when opening the game is a thank you note from CD Projekt Red saying thank you for buying the game; that also outlines their philosophy in regards to DLC and patches (I.e. it should be free to all players). It's nice to see developers being earnest and appreciative of their customers. It almost makes me want to go out and buy more of their games just because of it.

Guy Mann posted:Shadow Complex Remastered is in this week's Humble Bundle and it's kind of amazing that despite being almost a decade old and arguably kicking off the indie metroidvania resurgence that's still going on to this day so much of it still feels fresh and unique. The flashlight that highlights destructible objects alone is something almost every metroidvania could use, and maybe it's just fatigue from a zillion faux-retro pixel indie knockoffs but having an actual fully-3d environment and the way it let's them mess around with camera angles and the foreground feels way more interesting and memorable even if the actual setting is a generic sci-fi military base. They should, considering that the best one introduced it as a feature.  Super Metroid
