It's real good but it's not replayable at ALL in the score attack way that Vanquish (and other Platinum games) works and that's a huge draw of those games for me. If you liked Vanquish you'll love the movement system though

Yeah, I started it again on Master and I forgot that the first two missions post-tutorial are basically COD levels with better movement. It's still a blast to play in the last 2/3rds though, largely because it's more of a platformer + gallery combo. Like I would love a game of nothing but levels designed like the training gauntlet with medals and a scoring system.

I remembered I had never beat MGSV after losing my save once and restarting and the second time still getting stuck on side mission completionism. Anyway, I kind of forgot where I left off and why the gently caress am I playing as bloody quiet in fatigues? I don't remember Quiet being playable??

You can play as any soldier once you've recruited them but I think a quiet skin is some DLC stuff. Could be wrong

I find it kind of amazing that titanfall 2 has a campaign that has the modern Nintendo approach to level design. The game getting split into discrete sections of platforming + a concept (conveyor belt factory, turning switches on/off, time travel, etc) and then dropping that concept and moving onto the next one when it's gotten a bit stale; it's a really neat approach, and it is funny how the story just kinda fades away into nonsensical background noise that barely justifies anything. It's an interesting approach to ludonarrative dissonance to have a plot that pretty much functions as fitting aesthetics for a story and nothing else. It's just two armies fighting in a planet of 3d platformer levels.

There is also an evil white south African mercenary, because they are in every video game where you shoot realistic people now I guess :shrug:

Apparently the way they made the campaign was that they took all the brainstorming ideas and just made each one independently and basically wrote the story as a series of load screen briefings lol. It's awesome

I generally don't play sports games, but I have gotten decent at fifa and madden at different points and they're both pretty fun actually.

I enjoy FIFA but madden always felt way too slow and simple for me. But above all the arcadey versions of sports are always more fun because they can extrapolate the essence of the sport to extreme degrees. Like Blitz will always be the best football game

NHL games are my jam. I also like sports management games. And in real life, fantasy sports (and poker, I guess) is the closest thing you get to video games without entering the realm of board games. I love me some socially acceptable fantasy sports games.

Oh yeah the NHL are the only games Ive enjoyed cranking up to Maximum Simulation, theres a lot of fun puck handling stuff in those games if you max out the physics calcs and give yourself full range of motion. Easy to gently caress up as well but its pretty satisfying to get good at

I dunno what other sports games are like (I played NBA2Kx and some of the Madden games but don't remember anything about them) but the twin sticks setup that NHL switched to during the PS3 era just feels sooooo right with puck handling.

FIFA and NBA is closest with ball handling on the right stick but stuff like Madden and MLB are restrained by the slavish devotion to their sport so its all just waiting around and hitting A to pass.

Because of this post I actually just looked it up and apparently the guy running this Game Awards 2016 thing is the exact same guy who gave all those awards to No Man's Sky.

So yeah gently caress that poo poo imo.

Its a peer system like the Oscars or whatever. And last year was epic, because Kojima was denied admittance by Konami and the place freaked out and then Joosten had a lovely performance on stage. I like the VGAs

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

The VGAs are the only awards show I can stomach because half of it is just announcements and performances and they don't let people on stage talk. It's also still so low key and low budget compared to other media that you have poo poo like Joel McHale being drunk and failing miserably live to even pretend to give a poo poo about what he's doing.

One thing I'll say about those game awards is that they seem to be pretty inclusive and quick on the uptake when it comes to the diversity of styles and new trends. Most VR games might suck right now but it's good they have a category. How long did it take the Oscars to consider animated films, for instance. Or how they hardly know what to do with popular films, comedies, or action movies.

Oscars added an animation category in 2001, approximately 110 years after the first animated film was created

Conquest is such an amazing game, and it's cool they did the split game approach to keep people interested who preferred the Awakening style (because I didn't and conquest brought me back in love with the series again)

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

Revelations is also interesting as an extra path. The maps lean a little too Awakening for my tastes but they also have a high volume of super gimmicky maps which is kinda cool. The enemies never feel as carefully designed as Conquest and they give you every character from both games without retuning level and stats for when they appear in Rev so you have a massively unbalanced and bloated squad to mess with but I think it's worth a play. More interesting than Birthright at least

I sorta treated Revelations as a victory lap, myself. I really wanted it to have the enemy design of Conquest and the map gimmicks didn't really do quite enough to make up for it, for me.

So I kept playing on Hard and just abused everything I could about the class system to break the game wide open. My +Str/-Lck Corrin, Xander, Ryoma, and Camilla were absurdly powerful. I had Xander and Ryoma become best friends so they could use each other's classes and let me tell you, Xander with Astra and Swordfaire is hilarious. Ryoma with Luna is also pretty good, but not quite as spectacular to behold. And Camilla is just Camilla and is gonna be nuts no matter what you do.

I played Revelations on Lunatic to see if I could manage it and at a certain point I put it on casual because it was just too hard for me. Yeah some of the combos you can make in Rev are insane, but I never made a more powerful character than just Swordmaster corrin with +SKL. Every attack was basically triggering Astra for 200 damage by the end game
