I always loved the soundtrack for Red Dead Revolver because of all the off-brand non-Morricone italian western music it licensed. One of the tracks sounded like an Italian knockoff of One Winged Angel in the best way possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M180ASSaq0

Viewtiful Jew posted:Man a lot of people seem to be hoping Kratos isn't the star of God of War 4. I'm mostly just interested if it's still a David Jaffe joint or if they're going to outsource it to a completely different studio as seems to be in vogue right now.

Shindragon posted:Even if it is him, what would he be raging and killing about? I always did like the hidden video in the original God of War about modern soldiers finding the corpse of a titan. American Gods only with Jaffe's tryhard grimdark instead of Neil Gaiman's twee whimsy would be a hell of a thing.

I really wish that David Jaffe's cancelled "game that will make you cry" that he was hyping up after God of War actually came out just because the idea of him trying to handle anything with nuance is hilarious.

Josh Lyman posted:I watched the Mass Effect 1 game movie with all the cutscenes. They had to find a way to have you be directly responsible for the victory without actually having any sort of ship combat gameplay. In retrospect it's pretty crazy how well the ME series managed to make a space adventure where you never actually fly a spaceship. Kind of like how the first Bioshock takes place entire underwater but has no swimming segments.

At this point I like the tool-assisted exploit people a lot more because being a quirky nerd who discovered parallel universes in a 20 year-old Nintendo game is way more interesting that being a quivering bundle of nerves passive-aggressively sniping people as they play through a game really quickly.

Judging a game's popularity based on Twitch viewers is even worse than judging a show's popularity based on people livetweeting while it airs, because at least Twitter is socially acceptable.

PantsBandit posted:I remember finding it funny how the Penny Arcade guys made two actually pretty good RPGs with decent art and mechanics and then decided "nope this is too much work" and just made the other ones RPG-Maker garbage. It's more that they didn't sell very well because even back then Penny Arcade was a relic.

The core gameplay of Alan Wake was some of the most boring I've ever seen in a shooter, there's only two kinds of enemies and they all take forever to kill because of the stupid flashlight gimmick.Real hurthling! posted:according to GB, quantum break is a 6-10 hour (including and hour or two of full motion video) boring mess that makes the order 1886 seem varied in its gameplay To be fair to Remedy the game's development was basically tanked by Microsoft using them to launch their television studio only to shut it down two years before the game even came out

oddium posted:everyone always talks about how the dinosaur loves anime but never the part about her being a selfish liar The Fat Lesbian Lisa Simpson dinosaur is the worst because not only is she incredibly annoying but she's a terrible person who is directly responsible for pretty much every bad thing in the game and nobody really calls her out on being a complete monster. If it weren't for her fuckboi robot stealing the show that entire section would be a wash.

Broseph Brostar posted:I like how the game is almost directly designed to make you dislike Alphys the first time you play, then the second playthrough you find even more reason to hate her. She's almost like an inverted Papyrus, where instead of being immediately lovable, you have to really get to know her before you can appreciate her, much like that kind of person irl. And you don't even get to kill her in a Genocide run.

I have to give Metroid credit, it's the one mainline Nintendo series that they don't just keep remaking over and over with better graphics and a new control gimmick. Shame about the actual end results, though.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah, i so wanted conviction to end up like that. but instead it was just an ok but linear as gently caress splinter cell game. You did get to execute a neo-con on the resolute desk though. From what I can tell the development cycle went something like this: -Year one, develop dynamic chair-grabbing physics system -Year two, oh gently caress we have to make an entire game out of this -Year three, disregard years one and two

Lurdiak posted:Prime 3 having cyber brains that aren't apparently related to mother brain and no one mentioning mother brain felt so odd. That entire game feels like it's sort of detached from Metroid as a setting. Like it's some kind of parallel, halo-wannabe universe. Prime 3 wasn't very good. Between the forced motion controls and the pre-M:OM anime Samus and superfluous voice acting I don't know how much of that was Retro and how much was Nintendo but it did make me pretty alright with it being the final entry in the Prime series.

Broseph Brostar posted:I’m so furious. I’ve ranted about memes SO many times, and argh, it’s happened again. A game I was absolutely adoring is now a game I can’t play at all, because of a wildly memey boss fight. People elsewhere are praising the game for its humor, I don't think it's unfair to judge the game for promoting itself with lazy Family Guy references when that's supposed to be one of its selling points. Besides, it's yet another indie roguelite which means people are gonna gush about it for a week and then spend the next year complaining about how unbalanced and poo poo it is just like they did with every other one.
