Lizard Wizard posted:I'm gonna have money for the first time in a while this month and I can't decide between grabbing Dragon's Dogma and Art Academy Home Studio, or just Pokken. help Is it required that you spend money? If so, Dragon's Dogma unless you want to be on the ground floor of Pokken online multiplayer.

Lurdiak posted:I guess people liked how the PC version had a hidden switch that made the game more stable and look and run better in every way that was used for E3 demos because the Xbone couldn't actually run that. It is amusing that Ubisoft took a weird poo poo on PC watch dogs to keep from embarrassing Microsoft, but on the other hand that game turned out mediocre as all hell no matter how good you could make it look.

FactsAreUseless posted:Just play them in order. They're not that long, and each has a lot to recommend them. I was gonna say, each one I beat (and generally really enjoyed) over a weekend when they were released. I haven't played 5 yet though and it's supposed to be longer I guess. Like, you can totally spend weeks beating each of the games in different ways. I got like 12 hours of solid fun out of that MGS2 boat demo that came with that mech game. But if you're just playing through naturally and not replaying, they're all pretty short. Play them all, VideoGames.

The one non-story criticism I've read about LR that sounded legit was that there weren't enough high-end outfits so the while the midgame has a lot going on, the endgame funnels you towards a certain gameplay style.

I said come in! posted:What about Dark Souls 3 has people so excited? All of the footage i've seen so far looks rehashed from the previous games. I've yet to see any original ideas in it, which seems extremely disappointing? Like i'm totally ready to be crucified here for heresy, I welcome the sweet release of death, but Dark Souls 3 looks to be the most uninspired game this year. Would rather just play Bloodborne. A lot of people who don't own a PS4 didn't get to play Bloodborne and were pissy about it and they're really excited about DS3, which is grabbing up Bloodborne's mechanics and some of its visuals. Also it's more Dark Souls, a fun game series, so maybe it too will be fun.

Mistle posted:Entirely possible for BB to hit PC, but I'd expect another year or so, once the PS4k starts tapering significantly in sales. Anything's possible but that's incredibly unlikely. It's still a selling point for the PS4 and even with the bone now down in the dumps, there's still no reason for Sony to port it. Hell, with MS accidentally taking a poop on PC gaming with UWP, Sony has all the more reason to rally more around their own platform unless there's a huge market shift. There's also the consideration that it might be a very costly port and they aren't certain the sales are worth it.

PantsBandit posted:Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but it actually is really cool. People have been comparing HLD to Dark Souls, which is a dumb and misleading comparison overall, but it does have that in common. Specifically, the game is really not that difficult and there's plenty of health pickups scattered around the world. Outside of bosses it's pretty rare that I'll actually die. But the enemies still have teeth and will punish you for being careless. Wasn't being sarcastic, it really does sound fun, if a bit hard. I really like the aesthetic too.

I played 1, enjoyed it a lot even though the combat was janky, tried 2 and couldn't get into it, played 3 and overall enjoyed it even though the narrative became schizo in the last act and the Vox Populi were handled very poorly.

Lurdiak posted:The way game news outlets reacted to everyone hating mass effect 3 was the weirdest poo poo I've ever seen. It was like those dumb articles people have been writing about how people are wrong to dislike the Star Wars prequels, but even snarkier. YOU ARE STUPID TO THINK THIS IS BAD. I actually remember some news outlets joined in. There were a few articles written by actual developers that boiled down to "the game is great but the ending is phoned in so hard it's easy to see why people are pissed about it. I'm pissed about it." Accordion Man posted:Lol, no. Especially when there's been games such as Witcher 3, Undertale, and LISA since. Eh, I'd still say ME2 was among the greats in terms of western writing for characters. Like a lot of RPG's western and eastern, the character writing is often stellar while the story is usually just decent at best.

Accordion Man posted:While I did enjoy ME2 most of the party member writing was just "Parental Issues: The Game". I'm not going to disagree but I still enjoyed it for what it was. TIM also was also the best "here's your mission" guy ever, though having a genuinely great actor in the role and actually put in 100% effort almost makes it feel like it's cheating. Wamdoodle posted:Oh dang, I've been looking at that. Trip report? So far it's fun. Only been playing for about an hour but in some ways it actually feels smoother in terms of shooting and movement than Nuclear Throne. There's a lot more going on in terms of weapons and items you can equip but it remains to be seen whether that distracts from or adds to the main gameplay. There's a LOT more bullet hell than NT. Lurdiak posted:My favorite thing in Mass Effect 3 is how they revealed the mysterious face of the masked character and they just used a stock photo with bad effects on it. lol I forgot about that. Such a hilarious afterthought.

Accordion Man posted:It's kind of that situation where its up to personal taste, because while some people feel that HK wasn't as plot driven as Dragonfall and suffered for it, I actually though HK had stronger character writing. Like pretty much every NPC in HK is fleshed out and interesting to talk to and the ones in the main hub even have their own arcs. I also really liked how you can resolve a good chunk of missions in HK without combat. (I like the series' combat, but giving you non-combat options is always great.) I really enjoyed both and agree about HK characters but one of the things that caught me offguard with Dragonfall was how neat and weird the Berlin Flux State was. Having gangs, corporatations, and a dozen different fringe ideologically-driven paramilitary organizations all competing over the same city made for a more novel setting than I was expecting.

Nasgate posted:I would say the users actually playing your dumb console is a better metric than units sold since the latter doesn't include resale or returns. It would be if they didn't dilute it by counting playing windows 10 store games including solitaire and freecell as "xbox engagement." Well, externally anyway. If they're lying to themselves about platform engagement internally, they're loving stupid. This on the other hand Nasgate posted:While I already know she has male genitalia, it is a no regardless.

Lurdiak posted:Neither is quite true. What happened was that the company PA was working with told them "Look, we have a lot of big money contracts right now, if we make episode 3 of your game we'd have to basically half-rear end it and not make it as good as the first two" and the PA dudes pulled out, not wanting to sell a lovely product. Then they teamed up with guys who only make lovely RPG maker products, who churned out overly-long, visually unappealing, overly complicated games that didn't really have the "you are playing the comic" feel of the first two. Did any of them sell well?

Guy Mann posted: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. I have never complained about BoI or Nuclear Throne or FTL. Gungeon isn't as good as any of those because of some issues (oddly even though according to corn says it as the same composer as NT, the music sucks in comparison) but it's still fun. Also I like FeministFrequency it's enjoyable to watch and TotalBiscuit needs to maybe bloody chill.

Or is everyone just dumping them like Flipcams? You could pull that off easily. Or trade it in for store credit some place. I mean, it's no secret the bone isn't doing great but there are still people who'd pay 250 for one brand new in box.

Lurdiak posted:Some people still confuse Fighting Games and Beat-Em-Ups and that one really gets my goat. They are distinct genres!!! That's a weird one to mix up since just about everyone considers fighting games the "two people (usually) facing each other with life bars (usually) fighting 2 out of 3 rounds (usually)" genre and beat em ups are very much the Streets of Rage-types that sort of split into musou and third person action games. They're really hard to mix up since fighting games are 99.9% about player vs. player gameplay and beat em ups are 99.9% not.
