Teenage homophobia aside, Kuja has an atrocious character design, and is a pretty boring villain.

Bicyclops posted:i will admit that the slog to get to the point where you're actually making choices, doing sidequests and screwing with everyone's stats, instead of watching a long movie and pressing X over and over again is similar in 9 and 10, but i can stomach 10, even with the bad direction they gave the voice actors, and 9 is just dull and off-putting. 10 lost me in like a half-hour. At least 9 has the sugar coating of being a love letter to FF1 and FF4 to sugarcoat the unfun mechanics and boring plot. 10 is just loving atrocious from moment one. Like I get that it's hard to argue which FF is the best because they basically changed genres every few games and are hard to compare but I really think FF9 and 10 are a lot closer to FF13 than it is to FF6 as an experience.

FF9 is also the first video game where I remember being genuinely annoyed by cutscenes and overly long bad dialogue, another sign of things to come for the franchise.

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.

Didn't a game made with RPG maker base assets make it into the wii shop at one point?Ambivalent posted:for real though, FFTactics is one of my favorite games of all time.... I was really confused to learn FF12 and something called Vanguard Story(I think) are supposed to take place in the same universe as FF tactics, because those games look nothing like it in any way shape or form and strike me as having pretty dramatically different tones.

It's a shame LOTRO is so similar to WoW as to make people not bother since they're already playing WoW, since it does a lot of the basic WoW stuff better than Blizzard, and as a bonus, the writing is merely kind of boring instead of brain-damagingly stupid.

Bicyclops posted:I liked Castle Crashers, the tedious beat-em-up TMNT clone with cartoon poop jokes for 4 players which went overpriced once it hit steam. maybe it was always overpriced, i dunno, I had a roommate who bought it for his x box. I would like more games like that, though, where you ram buttons and level up with friends. Castle Crashers isn't exactly a good beat-em-up but the online 4-player co-op and unlockable characters go a long way.

It's one of the greatest joys in life. e:  Bayo being some kind of sex symbol is really alien to me.

I'd like a game where you can merge crappy weapons to randomly generate a less crappy one, and then merge those into better stuff and so 100 poo poo-covered sticks could be combined into something radical with a really rare drop rate. Instead you can sell the crappy weapons to fund repairs for your one actually good one. :/

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Correction, it's pretty fun when you're playing as Claire and Moira because at least Moira can smack a fool zombie in the face with a crowbar when the flashlight fails to stun them in time. Natalia has the amazing brick and the ability to help with stealth kills and seeing the invisible bug assholes but otherwise player 2 doesn't have much to do as her other than crawl around and pointing at poo poo. Asymmetrical co-op owns, I wanna see more of it.

You know I think Metal Gear Rising and Godhand are my favorite Platinum/Clover brawler games because they don't have a loving goddamn space shooter section crammed into them. Suda51 does this poo poo too and it drives me insaaaaane. The gimmick is only amusing the first time around, it kills repeat playthroughs.

Like I want to love Wonderful 101 and those bits where you fly around are really cool and dramatic the first time but on repeat playthroughs it's just loving torture because there's so many of them and they're so bad and no matter how many main-game upgrades you got you get zero advantage during them. I just want to surgically rip them out of every single game. At least have the loving decency to not rank me on that poo poo. Lunchmeat Larry posted:it's really good that the best and coolest boss fight in Bayonetta is at the end of the most protracted and terrible one of these yet  I didn't even think about that section.

Excels posted:He said prior to GZ that he was putting a lot of "taboo" mature themes into MGS5 and prioritizing his personal vision/creativity over profits, and "if I fail, I will probably have to leave the industry." That's still a lot of blanks to fill in. Maybe once the game comes out it'll be a really blatant story condemning Japan for not supporting gay marriage or something, but as of now all that basically could mean anything.

FactsAreUseless posted:I wasn't aware video games could be "too scary." First person pure horror can feel more stressful than engaging, whether it's jump-scare based or not. It's pretty much due to how our brains process interactive medium differently than non-interactive mediums. It's been described to me as "feeling like you're driving in really lovely conditions and have to pay attention super hard, then a seagull hits your windshield", which does in fact not sound pleasant. I am extremely brave so I've never experienced this myself. CJacobs posted:As a long-time fan and apologist of the series I really hope Silent Hills doesn't suck. It's been a long time since there's been a Silent Hill game that wasn't stuck in a divisive hell between "it's really not that bad you guys" and "this is the game that kills the series". My secret controversial Silent Hill opinion is that I think that Silent Hill 2 is really good at being everything but a horror title. That poo poo isn't scary at all.

Bicyclops posted:I think some of the story elements and weird head stuff is very good horror stuff, but once you've mashed the button to stab a hundred of the weird faceless zombie creatures, i kind of feel like it loses its impact, which is why i kind of prefer the horror to the survival aspect. I mean it has its moments, like that hallway with the inexplicable creepy grinding noise, but I feel like Resident Evil Remake blows it out of the water as a "survival horror" experience. There's not as much to talk about once you're done, but it's more effective in the moment.

Bicyclops posted:The thing I really liked about the Wii one was whenever the bad genital monsters showed up, you just had to loving run. sometimes you could like, find a way to freeze one of them or something, but there was no way to murder the weird, metaphorical mind creatures. The mechanics behind it were not spectacularly fleshed out, but I feel like if more people would experiment with it, they could do some neat stuff I never played that one, but I heard a lot of people complain about how the harsh division between the safe and unsafe zones hurt the tension in the game. It's like "Oh, I can stop being scared now". I've gone on many a rant about how the Safe Rooms in the RE games are an amazing mechanic because they're basically fixed stress relief points that you desperately want to get to, and once you're in there you have to kind of psych yourself up to go back out, meaning you never really get to commit to the danger and tough it out like you would in a more action-focused game. Being able to get respite from the spookiness and listen to calming music actually makes the spookiness worse once you go back to it.

The Colonel posted:The issue with that whole part of Shattered Memories, to my understanding, is it's not so much about psyching yourself out to go into the scary stuff again and more that you're walking around and then you enter scary world, and then you escape scary world for a while until scary world happens again. Yeah I was contrasting it with the RE mechanic, not saying it was the same, sorry if I wasn't clear.
