I didn't really like Persona 4 but I'm still willing to acknowledge that it's a good game with a good story.

Ekster posted:MMOs are awful, period. I love when an MMO rolls out new content but they have to make it challenging both to vets who are max level and people who are just coming in new so they offer this weird sloppy compromise that lets new players level up crazy fast because there's no other way to make everybody happy. MMOs seem like the most unrewarding shlock ever, and this is coming from someone who played Final Fantasy 14 for quite a long time before realizing its only purpose for me was something to do with my hands while I watched Netflix.

Blacklist does have a lot of not so great things dragging it down. Fisher controls like he's drunk and the FOV zooms like right in on him when you're sneaking, which are both very annoying. It also does that thing where there's a massive list of guns and gadgets and outfits that are only very slightly different from one another so they don't matter at all. And half the guns aren't silenced, in a stealth video game about a stealthy super spy where the goal is to be stealthy.

Letting you play it like a cover shooter and go entirely loud if you want to is, on the one hand, nice because it encourages players to try out different playstyles. On the other, it's a bit jarring to have Fisher talk about how he should remain undetected in full body armor and a riot gear night vision helmet while carrying 2 shotguns and a revolver. But then again, Fisher's character in Blacklist is godawful and so are all of the rest of the characters so maybe it doesn't matter. It was still a fun game, but boy was I disappointed after seeing the potential it held to not suck.

Then why post that, other than to snipe at people who like Deadly Premonition? You should try LISA, it's a good, interesting game imo. Slowbeef did a stream of it that you could watch a little bit of to see if it's something you'd be interested in. It's all up on his Youtube channel.

The crossbow game that came packaged with the Wii remotes kinda sucked but it was free and a fun challenge so I wouldn't say it's bad per se.

I hope Fallout 4 won't suck and I don't think it will, but if it does suck, it'll be in a way that mods can easily fix. That's something that has been concurrent with every Fallout game ever made and I doubt it will change with this one.

Adam Bowen posted:Except for Fallout 3 which is the only Fallout game made by Bethesda. There was no way to fix that poo poo. Yeah you're right, I just said "every fallout game" because what I meant was "every fallout game except for 3" and that's how human beings talk. The writing in Fallout 4 will be just as meh-worthy as 3's if not more so because of Troy Baker-ification but like 3 it will still be a great game regardless, even if it requires some tweaking to not crash every five minutes.

There is a very stark difference between "this game literally does not work for the most people trying to play it" and "this game has glitches that can be patched". The vast majority of "games these days" are nothing like the former. Assassin's Creed's face bug thing is an example of the latter.

The point still stands though. People play video games on consoles because you don't have to gently caress with any settings or options, you just put the game in and play it. Whether the game is buggy or not is on a by-game basis after that. You can be 100% sure that the game will work on the console the same way for everybody who owns it because they've all got the same pre-set parts in them. edit: Or because they want to play video games from their TV on the couch or whathaveyou, but it's 2015 so they could just stream their PC to their TV if they wanted to do that.

I was kind of astounded by how hard Human Revolution poo poo the bed right at the very end. They were doing so, so good, and then the final level was crap. The final boss was crap. The "ending" was crap. It didn't ruin the whole game or anything but boy was it a downer considering how good of a stride it had going prior to Jensen going to Panchaea.

Sleeveless posted:The commentary for Human Revolution is pretty good but the commentary for Panchaea is kind of sad because a lot of it is apologizing or explaining what they were going for and how disappointed they were with the final product. There's a whole bit about how they hate how the "zombies" turned out because they wanted to have people that were panicked and hallucinating but since it was the last part of the game they worked on and they didn't have the time or resources to really build up a unique AI just for that one part of the game they wound up just bring crazy zombie people. drat, that really is kind of depressing. Like every other commentary node in that video is "We think x didn't turn out as good as we wanted" or "we didn't have time to do x so it turned out pretty bad" and it's like man, that must suck as someone who puts months, sometimes years' worth of effort into a huge game like Deus Ex.

Actually they're all pretty good. Bioshock Infinite is probably the least good out of all of them by an extremely wide margin but it's not a bad game. It is a good example though of how sometimes a video game's story being mediocre can drag down the entire experience.

I dunno I thought the gameplay was not nearly as bad as people say it is. The only thing I didn't really like is that the not-plasmids don't have much variation but I didn't use much besides the stun one and the fire one anyway and those didn't stop being fun or effective so I wasn't all that bothered.

I will give you that. There really wasn't a lot of enemy variation and the handymen were a crap replacement for big daddies so I can see how that might make it dull. I guess I just have a high tolerance for repetitive gameplay, which I will admit Infinite was. I just don't think it was so repetitive as to be bad.

Nasgate posted:Fact: Every game gets worse the later in it, because they're rushing to meet deadlines. That is generally true but the first hour of Deus Ex HR is a borderline masterstroke of a tutorial because they have you use all of the game's mechanics without stopping the gameplay to force you to do it and therefore it's not poo poo so that argument does not apply. Also, video games are not made in chronological order. Also also, consider that it is you who are the dumbass.

Nasgate posted:No, but i know QA testers generally do not play through the entire game. Neither do initial game reviewers. So a polished front end is both easier to have and more important for release sales. You're right, the first part of the game is what the vast overwhelming majority of people who play it will see and will see most often. The opening of the game being polished is definitely important. But what you said before that, which In Training was responding to, was "Fact: Every game gets worse the later in it, because they're rushing to meet deadlines." which is not even close to the same sentiment. Your goalpost moving is only reinforcing the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about, friendo.
