THE PENETRATOR posted:post the tweets negro It's nothing really that interesting on its own. Some people complained about one of the bits of text a backer put in the game, Obsidian agreed and admitted that it shouldn't have made it through QA, and it was quietly patched out. Then the usual Let's Play pantshitters started making GBS threads their pants and sending out rape threats over it because it's censorship and political correctness gone mad and the developers are obviously just bowing down to the threats of the feminazi shadow cabal.

Please stop paying attention to Adam Bowen.Accordion Man posted:What's with games making the scrubbiest outcomes canon? If you didn't massacre every MJ12 goon there you should just stop playing games. Invisible War made all of its predecessor's endings canon and it was the worst game, ergo the new game making all of its predecessor's endings non-canon means it will be the best game.

Bicyclops posted:Wow, that's actually going to start being a Thing in video games now, isn't it? From what I understand a lot of video game voice work is non-union so I don't think there's anything stopping them from using a sound-alike or a new voice entirely. Even something as high-profile as Kingdom Hearts swapped out voice actors due to people dropping out in between installments, like Billy Zane voicing Ansem in the first game and Richard Epcar voicing him in every other one.

bloodychill posted:Best MGS cast was original MGS complete with vaguely racist Mei Ling for the James Bond appeal. poo poo was silly but fun. I love how slapdash that entire setup was, most of the voice actors performed under pseudonyms because it was non-union gig and they were recording in somebody's apartment so when it came time for The Twin Snakes the original recordings were unusable because you could hear cars passing by in the background of the recordings.

A Spider Covets posted:following the angry birds theme, i think there should be a thread about birds in games, comparing their AI and textures and stuff to see which one is the best. My favorite gaming birds were the ones in Rogue Squadron Episode One: Battle for Naboo because due to fuckery with the game's engine they counted as enemy units so you could pad out your score by shooting them down and when you did they would burst into flames and explode.

Wamdoodle posted:Holy poo poo, it's the real life version of the Comic Book guy from the Simpsons. If you think about it, GameStop is a microcosm of the entire games industry: a place that's terrible to work at and requires a lot more stress and personal involvement than most comparable jobs in the same field, so the people it attracts are uniformly awful because any sane and competent person can get better pay for less work elsewhere.

precision posted:Yes it is. The Order is incredibly boring and the combat is ball-numbingly mediocre. When your game has Nikola Tesla giving you weapons and the best he can do is a gun that lights gas on fire that you use in like, one level, you hosed up. Where's my arc cannon or steampunk railgun or anything interesting at all other than "handguns, machine guns, rifles"?! Oh hey I watched that one Red Letter Media video about the game too.

I haven't played The Order but the huge amount of backlash against it seems to be a reaction to the marketing more than anything else: if it had quietly come out with little fanfare nobody would have really cared but since the developers were running at the mouth about it being a revolution in cinematic storytelling and Sony tried to market it as a tentpole game people got really worked up at a game that was mostly just forgettably mediocre. It wasn't even that much fun to mock after thethe Xbox One's continuing trainwreck of broken and microtransaction-riddled first-party offerings. precision posted:RLM does video game reviews now? Huh? It's called Previously Recorded and it's all on YouTube, it's pretty hit-or-miss (Mike and Jay aren't really into video games so it's hosted by Rich Evans and Cancer Patient Moby) but their episode of The Order: 1886 has some good laughs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG0zJ89Fv8c

theultimo posted:Evidently Alan Wake remaster and sequel from what I've heard I really don't know what the demand is for this. Alan Wake's American Nightmare was the developers pretty much admitting that nobody had any interest in the franchise and hastily concluding the story in a small downloadable title where you replay the same three maps three times and then you defeat the vast otherworldly dark presence forever by turning on a movie projector.

I am anticipating Quantum Break out of morbid curiousity because the more time and effort Remedy dedicates to FMV the worse the final product is: Max Payne 2's TV shows were just narration over still images and they were all pretty fun and compelling, the episodes of Night Springs in Alan Wake were OK if not a little cheesy, Mr. Scratch doing his wanna-be Joker monologues to player in American Nightmare was  , and now Quantum Break is literally a TV show so...CJacobs posted:One of the only major issues I had with that game was how drat long it took to burn the darkness away from enemies, and the latter definitely fixed that. If you played it on PC this is because the developers bumped all the difficulty levels up compared to the console versions. They said it was because PC gamers need extra challenge because of the advantage KB+M gives over a gamepad, but in execution it just makes the enemies tedious bullet sponges.

FactsAreUseless posted:Okay, imagine this: Alan Wake: Secure, Contain, and Protect. "There was something disturbingly familiar about the note on the desk. The handwriting was all pretty curves." You're in a creepypasta, Max. "The truth was like a photo-realistic picture of my family's skeletons flashing on the TV screen of my brain. The inconsistent supernatural elements. The unsatisfying conclusions and abrupt endings. The awkward self-inserts. The paranoid feeling that my every action was being told and retold hundreds of times across the internet." "I was in a creepypasta. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of."
