It's too small imo

I also don't get why Nintendo liked those non-round wells for the analog sticks, didn't make any sense to me

they're good for a few things. its a lot easier to hit a direction exactly and stick to it in the hex. it is much harder to circle though.

i like the gc controller but i hate the c stick. I also don't like the digital click when you fully squeeze the analog shoulder triggers. I'd rather there be more shoulder buttons but that's probably just personal preference.

the idea of the gc controller as the best ever seems like it came out of nowhere last year. were people talking about it previously and i just missed it?

The weapon balance in Bastion is fantastic and definitely its strongest point gameplay-wise. They all feel different and useful.

Transistor is also neat but flawed. It has some great moments, particularly the final boss, but the gameplay mechanics fall short of their ambition.

final boss is actually the worst part of the game.

I would agree if you moved faster and combat didn't have such long cooldowns. oh and if the sword didn't have those 2 drunk rambling monologues that make no sense but that's probably just personal preference

This, playing Black Flag right after Mordor really showed how rear end Creed still has jank platforming while Mordor is smooth as butter. I like rear end Creed (Skipped 3) but Black Flag is most likely going to be my last one.

one of the weirdest parts of AC4's movement is how it is sometimes hard to run in a straight line coming out of a turn and your character just weaves back and forth as you over compensate for his sluggish momentum and lovely camera. combine that with the very bad system for interpreting what you want to do when running/jumping on objects and its a disaster.

in mordor you can safely run from a roof to a wire and never accidently launch yourself off and even if you get lost its hard to lose a mission that way. in AC if you miss that wire by a pixel you could end up getting booted to a loading screen from falling behind one one of the dozens of chase missions.

Also you can change what the light on the back does, even if you can never see it anyway.

yeah the fact that the ds4 has like 8 zillion bells and whistles like a light, a speaker, a touchpad, a gyroscope, a headphone jack that headphones can actually plug into, an internal battery (not really a bell/whistle or as big as it could have been but who cares) makes it look like the greatest deal ever compared to the xbox one controller which is a 360 pad with worse shoulders, a required headphone adapter, a d-pad that no longer is a crime against 2-d games but nothing to write home about, and the same old xbox stick drift for the same price plus batteries

I like how every black friday the CAH jokesters pull off some cah-razy stunt that totally sticks it to consumerism while also getting them a shitload of free publicity and selling more cards in the process.

did they print "an even bigger blacker dick than the biggest blackest dick" yet because that's pretty much the funniest joke ever after 3 times already and i can't wait to hear what my dumb idiot friend says when he pairs it with "dead baby" "stupid whore" or "lazy mexican" while i humor him and drink and smoke all his poo poo and then leave the game early to bang my wife.

QA question for people that know how games are made:

who are the people that test AAA games (my only impression is from the movie grandma's boy)?
My first guess would be sweatshop workers in the third world or no one at all in the case of some publishers.

the only problem with skyrim for me is that i am too stubborn to stop trying to climb over all the mountains on the geometry seams instead of just using the paths and adds a lot of time and frustration to the experience.

the warp through objects while holding a plate and putting buckets on people to rob them stuff was more than enough great fun for me.

its a dark comedy soap opera. the first episode introduces every character and they all cry to the exact same melodramatic music.

then an fbi agent shows up and everything gets weird/cool until they reveal the murderer and then you may as well stop watching because the show is about 10 episodes too long.

Don't stop watching because the ending is really good and hosed up even if the 10 or so episodes preceding it are pointless. Even when the show is at its worst it's still the weirdest poo poo ever on network TV and worth watching for that alone.

sure but the whole series plus movies isn't for the casual fan.

MisterBibs posted:

I'll ask here because I'm phone-posting and that makes searching more difficult:

As I understand the series, Metroid Fusion is the last (chronologically) game, and all the other ones of late have been prequels and interquels taking place before Fusion.

What's the reason why they haven't made a proper sequel? A dislike of Fusion? The fact that Fusion alters how Samus looks? I'm not well versed in the series...

Fusion turns samus into a hybrid genetic freak with an ugly costume that they'd have to retcon and also is tied thematically with other m, the true black sheep of the series through the character of adam so from a concept perspective its understandable why they haven't gone back to continue its story.

only a few levels are synced to music and they're rewards for beating a world.

there are a zillion levels and the point of them is to find 10 hidden dudes to rescue while having super fun then replaying them in a mercilessly tough challenge race mode. sorry you suck and are awful at having fun.

The only criticism you could reasonably level at Rayman Legends is that it uses Uplay. It's a pretty flawless platformer, all things considered.

I guess the reward for finding all the little blue dudes is pretty poo poo, but other than that it owns.

finding all 700 or 800 of them is crazy anyway. i got 550 and moved on

final bonus stages are hilarious (one song splits the screen into 32 smaller screens all of sudden and expects you to do jumps. vision obscuring/screen flipping/fish eye lens are in there too.) they feel great to beat but they're just troll versions of the regular bonus levels and aren't that hard if you are good at the originals.

the only time the game is hard is on the challenge levels (luckily every main level has a challenge version!). there are some that took me longer than whole worlds to beat with a gold rank.

the game has a pretty great difficulty feel if you ask me. also its sense of humor is fantastic and i love a lot of the boss battles (and especially the post boss battle cutscene)
