watching the trailer for Death Stranding it occurs to me the fat guy is Hideo Kojima, the baby is his ~vision for awesome games~, the skeleton nazis are the AAA game industry, and Mads Mikkelssen is the sexy tentacles that keep draggin Kojima back to making games when he should probably be writing novels instead

My theory is that the Fireflies impregnated Ellie while she was under and that's why she wants to kill them all.

DO4M never gets "bad" but I honestly enjoyed every level a little less than the one before it. The game starts incredibly strong but after level 2 the initial thrill had fallen off and it was just "extremely, unrelentingly competent"

i feel like it warrants repeating that FF15 owns super hard, it's a lot like Lightning Returns in that the story is a half-baked mess with a lot of weirdly stupid sidequests for weirdos and a protagonist that's constantly irritated by being trapped in The Biggest Anime. also iggy, prompto and gladio are my friends and are very cool

the combat is really fun and satisfying, i find myself looking forward to random encounters to see what silly flashy poo poo i can pull off

wizard on a water slide posted:

There's a mentality not to that I think comes from certain things more than others - console gamers, ppl with siblings growing up, etc - because you think of save slots as places to save additional playthroughs or for others to save their game, not things to alternate between, and a lot of console RPGs would only have like 1-3 slots and in some cases not allow you to rotate.

On PSX save space was tightly constrained by memory card blocks; a memory card had 15 blocks and iirc Final Fantasy games usually took 1-2 blocks per file, so sometimes you literally only had the space left on your card for one save unless you wanted to delete your saves from other games. Some games were loving huge, and would take like half a memory card by themselves.

Didn't Madden games basically take up an ENTIRE memory card by themselves?

I used to rotate saves, then I got married.

I feel a lot better about waiting for a sale now. Too many games in the backlog as is.

I started up The Witness to finish it off and completely forgot where I had been/what I had done so I just started a new game. In the very first area I found 2 hidden puzzles and an audio log that I had somehow missed before. Haha.

It occurred to me last night, with all the statistics about how few people ever finish games they buy and so forth, why hasn't there been a game that tries to embrace this in an organic way?

What I mean is, why not make a game and let the player start at any point in the story? Why should "chapter select" only be unlocked if you beat a game? Why not let players jump around if they want and enjoy the parts they want without being forced to suffer through every ill-conceived concept the game contains? You can do this with books and films, why not games?

It was Mafia 3 that really put me in mind of that. The first 10 hours or so of Mafia 3 are absolutely amazing. After that it never gets bad but it does become somewhat of a generic open world with repetitive quests. I could see how someone with less patience would want to skip the empire building and go straight to the endgame.

Like I'm aware there are problems with what I'm proposing but, as with all things optional, anyone who complains about it can just not do it.

Why read when video games have such rich stories

I listen to audiobooks while I play games sometimes. I think I am literally addicted to multitasking. If I'm not doing 4 things at once, I feel like I'm wasting my time. Because I have so little free time. :(
