Where do you guys go to learn about cool new games?

I watch Twitch a lot and if anything new comes out someone I know will stream it and I can tell if it is obviously hot garbage or deceptively hot garbage

I don't give a poo poo about spoilers though or that could be a problem

Also don't play Peace Walker before Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain because PP will likely just piss you off. I recommend playing those two as far apart from each other as possible so you forget

5.
1. It gives you so many options and tools that you'd have to be extremely dumb to have problems.

On the other hand you don't start with hardly any of them, and even when you get them the game goes like "no lol here's a straight damage battle, hope you did enough grinding to have the necessary DPS or you're gonna replay this forever"

And then when you "beat" the game you still have a shitton more grinding to do, so most people just won't even get the really cool poo poo

buuuuut people wanted more Peace Walker so that's what you get

I'm going to buy a crazy JRPG today. My choices are Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy or Eternal Sonata, both for the PS3, both for the same price.

From what I have heard Eternal Sonata is unwashed rear end so get Lightning Returns. That said I have both and played neither so if it was the wrong choice I'm sorry

katamari forever is nice but i think me and my katamari is better

Good to know, I enjoyed Katamari Forever but I could use more stuff for my PSTV anyway. I'll look out for it on sale. I loved both PS2 games but I didn't like the Xbox 360 one much.

Also I think matcha makes a good hard candy flavor but is just kind of off tasting in other poo poo like Kitkats

I am so incredibly bad at Katamari but who cares it is fun

roll roll roll

That was the thing I hated most about the later ones, they made the minimum requirements so high you couldn't afford to be bad at all, and if you were merely competent you got shat on. While the first one if you had an awesome run you felt awesome

corn in the bible posted:

The other thing I like about the psp Katamari is it has the original game's thing of the levels being set in this common setting that you see more of as you grow larger and have larger requirements. Later ones tend to have lots of bespoke levels and I don't like that as much. But maybe other people do!

Also the Prince makes a bunch of animal friends and that's cute

Yeah, it was awesome to work up from the room to the yard to rolling up the house and eventually that whole drat town, but being able to recognize features of it again at each size

E:Gross it wants me to sign up with UPlay

I'd say you should play it anyway, but odds are you can sell it. If you don't like hiding behind boxes and shooting mans for loots then that may be a better idea

I hear Uplay isn't as much of a nightmare anymore but as with any PC software thing you could be the unlucky one who it destroys

fun fact: enter the gungeon is a blatant attempt by noted fuckers devolver digital to take over the nuclear throne phenomenon -- they even hired the same musician and everything

you're basically correct, except it was all the dev's choices cause he really liked Devolver and NT (and well, his original publisher fell apart)

FWIW though it doesn't feel like a cheap imitation though, they crammed about everything they could think of in there and still had a few more things they wished they could do

e: Here's a good criticism: It relies on luck a little too much, and not getting enough keys can really hamper your ability to beat the first few levels.

Something that has also been said about Isaac. If you enjoy a bit of gambling in your gameplay, you may enjoy these games more. If you're consistent, skill-focused, and hate games that aren't, then yeah, possibly not the game for you.

Or you could be extra motivated and enjoy trying to beat the bad deals when you get them. I've not got that kind of guts but I've seen people who do.

They've changed up the new player experience a bit and ostensibly made things easier to start, and in fact our very own Games Forum Moderator VideoGames is posting his experience starting the game in the Eve Thread right now.

These posts were very cheering to read. I don't think I'll ever take the plunge into EVE but it sounds like that could be fun. Sounds like what would probably end up happening if I got No Man's Sky, just puttering around harvesting everything I can and trying not to get blown up too much.

Though I bet if I went dredging through my Steam library I've probably already got several different games I set aside where I could be a space miner til I got dreadfully bored with it. I'm really bad about that.

Lizard Wizard posted:

Maybe I will do a "Nuzlocke". Are there any Nuzlocke experts who can help walk me through the various optional rules?

For a more hosed up game, Wonder Trade away everything you capture until you have a full team of random bullshit, then Wonder Trade away anyone who faints. Or combine the two and only capture one mon per route and Wonder Trade it, then release any who faint so you have attrition.

My main Nuzlocke advice would be throw your fainted guys in the Box rather than release them so when you inevitably get tired of Nuzlocke you can still go back and finish the game

You can also just relax the rules and let yourself have two per route or take a mulligan if the first thing you meet is lovely or excuse yourself from dismissing anyone who gets OHKO'd or really whatever the hell you make up. Nuzlocke was kind of made to give people who have played Pokémon for too long something to do, but for a newcomer it mostly means lovely long grinding stints, TM abuse, and cheap deaths.

Then again you're probably better off not grinding if you want real tension and nasty surprises

What happened with that game anyway? I know there were production issues and it wound up sucking, but the early concept stuff was great.

they made it and it seemed like nobody cared, but it actually did well enough that they made another one.

you're not missing out on anything, but if you find one of them in a bargain bin they're not the worst games ever

Still baffling, the Wii U has had some great releases steadily coming out the past two years and it still couldn't keep up with the competition. Console gaming is dying.

If you can only own one console and don't have an allegiance to Nintendo, which one are you gonna buy?

Snak posted:

Yeah, but they are basically only North Korea because it's okay to demonize North Korea in real life. I get it, it just feels kind of gross to me personally. Like North Korea is a "safe" country to demonize due to current politics, so in your totally fictional setting, they will be the bad guys even though fictional NK has nothing in common with real NK.

I thought they filtered all media that comes into North Korea anyway though? So the people who should be offended aren't even going to see it, it's a bunch of -ism against people who will never be aware of it and would rather not interact with us anyway. From what I understand they like being demonized anyway because it helps their case for martyrdom vs the evil everyone else.

Quest For Glory II posted:

also just speaking as an artist i find it really unimaginative when everything is sexualized in media to a specific definition just because the ad guys say so. it leads to lack of design contrast and homogenization. i watch anime but nothing bothers me more when i can't tell characters apart because the designer drew the characters off a template because that's their ideal waifu or whatever. I couldn't understand what was going on in Gundam SEED when I was younger because every character looked like hair/palette-swaps

There's a vicious cycle that I can imagine where in order to get paid well for your art you have to make what the market wants, and in turn if you want to hire art for your game, you want to choose artists who are good so you pick the successful ones, and then they shape the end product by making stuff similar to what they did before, which is what put food on their plate.

Since you actually are an artist, do you have any insight on whether this happens? It seems we often assume it's market-droids from the publisher or someone who barge in and demand bigger boobs or something, but I don't know if that is how it actually happens, and even if it does, that doesn't necessarily have to be the entire picture.
