Bloodborne looks pretty good, I skipped DS2 but I'm going to buy Bloodborne because the PS4 has no other games

Old games are still good and good things do not "age badly" except in very exceptional and specific ways.

It's not like every single game has to be designed for every single person to enjoy. Your average contard probably wouldn't like any game that requires more coordination than a starfish possesses but that doesn't mean all of those games are bad.

I don't think that the fact that most NES games aren't great really proves anything, most PS3/360 games are pretty much complete trash.

If you collected every possible bad trait of a Final Fantasy game in one place you'd find you just wasted a lot of time because it already existed and it was called Fainaru Fantajī Nain

Like when the FF4 DS port was being made, one of the devs gave an interview where he explained that he felt like you could get away with cliched and hammy storytelling when you had it as little sprites who fall over and disappear to show that they died and short dialogue. People would get the core of what you're conveying and fill in the blanks. But if you start going on and on and having lavishly produced cutscenes and extremely long dialogue sequences, suddenly people are gonna just examine your story in detail and all the flaws are going to stand out. You're not making the storytelling better by doing this, you're just making it take up more space in the experience.


This is really the fatal flaw of modern cinematic games. A person who is bad at writing can still create something enjoyable if they stick to the absolute basics and tell simple stories with one-dimensional characters, as long as those characters stick to that one dimension and don't talk too much. But if that person is given the tools or the budget to create something more, they're inevitably going to try because they never have enough self-awareness to realize that they're bad at story-telling.

Every person responsible for writing video games should be forced to look at themselves in a mirror every morning with "You are not good enough to write in any other medium" painted on the mirror in big bold letters. Except Kojima, because he owns and should make movies.

Did you play the demo? I downloaded it but I haven't tried it yet, I just assume being made by the Fire Emblem team means it's going to be good.

It's also pretty cool how 75% of the sale screen is taken up by trash DLC. Buy some resources for AssCreed IV for $1 and you can save yourself from having to actually play the game

Even the boat parts aren't that great, and you have to do a lot of not boat stuff to get there. At best, the boat parts are like a really bad and shallow version of Pirates! which you can play instead.
