Maybe it's just me but looking back it's hard to believe that the Gamecube is old enough for Luigi's Mansion to have had a Game Boy Color in it. Lurdiak posted:the next morning beat it again and got the super duper S-rank I'm pretty sure it was harder to get the worst ranking in Luigi's Mansion than it was to get the best one.

Every time Steam makes an update regarding their smart phone authenticator I am in awe of how many people there are who can afford gaming PCs and massive game libraries yet can't afford even a cheapie smart phone.

Lady Naga posted:I hope the new Deus Ex is really good because a lot of Human Revolution's sensibilities are really good but the piss yellow visual direction and the god awful hair models always bring it down a notch. They yellow was cool and the fact that they left a bunch of cans of yellow paint all through the levels in the game was really funny.

All this talk of RPG spinoffs of platformers made me remember that at one point Capcom made A Final Fantasy X clone set in the Megaman X universe. This was just a year after they turned their actual good Megaman RPG series into a crappy side-scroller.

FFX's battle system ruled. Having a JRPG where you actually get to use all of your party members all the time and all of them are worth using (except Kimhari, poor lion man) is something that seems like common sense but never popped up elsewhere. It's up there with Skies of Arcadia having a shared regenerating pool of energy for every party member's special attacks when it comes to mechanics that should have been used more.

E3 is like Donald Trump where we like to look at and laugh at how crazy and ridiculous it is but the minute they got any power you stop laughing and start worrying instead. E3 already has that power. You're like the gaming equivalent of one of those people who was outraged that Netflix was making Adam Sandler movies and then watched it just to make fun of how bad it was and wound up being directly responsible for it being their most successful release ever.

When I played Earthbound as a kid when it asked me what my favorite thing was at the beginning I said "My Pet" so the entire game my most powerful psychic attack was called "PSI My Pet α/β/γ/Ω"

This is the website where a dude translated Dangan Ronpa for free and it became so popular the the company that made it translated it for real and put it on Steam with zero compensation for him. Also the site that translated Policenauts for free. We're not really in any position to call out people translating poo poo as a labor of love.

FactsAreUseless posted:The designers didn't understand their own mechanics. It's supposed to be about stealth, attacking through your hacking abilities, etc. This is something a lot of stealth games seem to fall victim to in their first installment; Thief had bits where you had to hack at spiders with your short sword, Hitman had the jungle levels, Assassin's Creed was mostly about chasing people down to stab them and then outrunning their guards, etc.

I've been playing the new Dying Light DLC and it's really cool, you get a badass buggy that you can customize with flamethrowers and poo poo. But every time you want to upgrade your car you first have to go find/buy 3 wire, 5 screws or some poo poo like that. You've already got a leveling system, just gimme my cool poo poo when I unlock it! Goddamn! Thank gently caress I'm on PC so I can just Cheat Engine myself a nice fat pile of resources whenever I get bored or hit a wall. It's made so many grindy games become tolerable.

The stuff Platinum has showed of the new Star Fox looks good but I'm concerned that they aren't ripping off enough blockbuster films and anime to live up to SF64's legacy of having an entire level dedicated to copying the big scene from Independence Day and another where you fight Gundams with dog muzzles.

Lady Naga posted:Except that people routinely contradict themselves to fawn over Aiden (see: him roughing up an underage girl only to have her go "nah it's totally fine you were just being careful) and Aiden gets everything he wants because of his actions. Even smaller actions like stealing from complete strangers constantly aren't reprimanded he's just allowed to keep doing lovely things and reap the rewards from it. I don't know if this argument is better or worse than having to listen to computer janitors complain that the magic cellphone hacking was unrealistic.

Now I'm trying to think of a protagonist in an open-world GTA style game who isn't morally repugnant. I guess the dude from Red Faction: Guerilla is good since since he's fighting an unjust colonial regime but he does that by destroying infrastructure, killing natives, and being complicit in torture so idk. Same for the guy in The Saboteur fighting the Nazis as they occupy Paris, though he is a smoker

8-Bit Scholar posted:I am very skeptical of this line of thinking, because it's the exact sort that justifies censorship and dominates the more irritating elements of the political left. Moral guardians have attempted to convince us that our entertainment is the cause of our sins for decades now and it's been nonsense since the start. There's plenty of evidence that media affects people, like Mean World Syndrome, the CSI Effect, and the entire advertising industry. It's just that most gamers never moved past 20 years ago when games were used as a scapegoat so they'll latch onto every bit of validation no matter how flimsy (actually, games improve hand-eye coordination mom) but will off-handedly reject any criticism because they didn't grow up to be an axe murderer so obviously it's beyond reproach. The fact that a lot of gamers are also into the gently caress YEAH SCIENCE thing just makes it funnier when they have to rationalize away science that actually challenges their lifestyle and worldview.

Talk about video games in the thread for talking about videogames? Everyone knows that if you discuss games at any level beyond declaring them the best/worst ever and asking for pro strats then you may as well be the lovechild of Jack Thompson and Tipper Gore snowboarding down a mountain of censorship.

Dad Jokes posted:Not to interrupt this scintillating discussion, but the new Monster Factory is a work of art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1v0t8Q5xg Monster Factory is amazing, if you haven't already tracked down their other series like Griffin's Amiibo Corner and Tomodachi Survivor they're pretty fun too. Even the quick looks are usually entertaining so long as a McElroy is involved. I don't really read or care about the site proper but it's nice to see that people are still holding a grudge over a three year old console hardware review I guess.

Speaking of Molydeux and the McElroys, CoolGames Inc is a fun podcast about making an imaginary game based on prompts from Twitter users and mashing together random gaming buzzwords, like a game with "social media permadeath" where if you die in the game it blasts hate speech from your linked Twitter and Facebook account.

Years ago when I first read The Hunger Games, before the movie adaptations happened and before The Purge wrapped the concept up in a way that let people fantasize about legal murder under the guise of class warfare, I had a moment of reflection where I thought that it would make for a great video game and then immediately hated myself for thinking that when it went against the entire point of The Hunger Games being a bad thing because they were abject cruelty presented as entertainment. Flash forward six years and now The Culling is one of the best-selling games on Steam.
