Samuringa posted:78.1% of players finished the first chapter of TWD; 37.1% finished the last. That's a 40% drop on a game where all you do is click on choices, it's no surprise someone might not beat the first boss of DS3. For me it's a side effect of young me being able to get 2-3 new video games a year if I was LUCKY, so I instinctively jump on every humble bundle and good deal that I can. I'd wager I've played less than 10% of my Steam backlog for any length of time, and I have Playstation 2 games that aren't even opened. Shockingly, I don't have as much time to spend on games as I did when I was 13.

BiggerBoat posted:This is it for me too. There's so much to do in these games now and so little time. I felt like I binged through Arkham Knight and it took me like 10 weeks. Horizon Zero Dawn sucked me in, between it and Saints Row 4 I spent more time on those two games than the rest of my game purchases in the last 7 years combined.

That's the impression I got too. Lots of moves that involve another turtle swooping in to assist who's active, treat it like a character with 4 different weapon stances.

pubic works project posted:If we don't get a new Ultimate Alliance game I'm going to be so lovely. Also, if Sony gets this potential game universe and not X-Box, I'll be even more lovely. I just want them to package up all the old fighting games from the Vs. series (X-Men: COTA, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Street Fighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom 1-2).

The first Spider-Man is okay but 2 is genre defining, infinitely better. Ultimate Alliance just got a remaster if you're looking to play it.

The Genesis Spider-Man has a fond place in my heart as my first Comic Book video game but it was pretty drat hard too, and definitely lacked the feeling of Spider-Man being Spider-Man, with him mostly walking with occasional ceiling crawling. The TMNT style one was just weird, with Giant Venom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNqmcV_kI3k

Gaz-L posted:Yeah, Capcom's beat-em-ups were superior. Final Fight is a better simple game, and the D&D ones are nicely complex enough to do the licence justice within the genre. All these games are why MAME is the greatest blessing of all time. Finally get to go through and beat all those monotonous games without spending a dime. ASSUMING YOU OWN THE LEGAL ROMS OF COURSE.

TwoPair posted:Ugh I just cannot handle the loving brute enemies in this game. Like goddamn, it's not enough that I have to break my combat flow to defeat enemies in this one particular way, I have to jump way away to get some distance because the motherfucker just doesn't stop swinging. Yeah the big brutes are annoying as poo poo. I get it in like a batman game, and i get that they can't make Spidey TOO powerful, but come on, if I punch and kick a dude and he's just blocking with elbows, that's a problem. Took me a while to get used to webbing them up, hitting a few times, rinse, repeat.

Wanderer posted:DCU Online was a Sony Online Entertainment joint, and all of those got spun off into an independent company called Daybreak a while back that apparently intends to keep running all those live services until the heat death of the universe. It just picked up Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online, both of which apparently still have enough of a player community that it's worth keeping the servers on. I mean, they've kept EverQuest going for 20+ years.

Lobok posted:I doubt anyone was expecting a new UA to be a 10. Interested to see the goon couch co-op reviews. A friend of mine and I played through Ultimate Alliance 2 over 2 or 3 weekends and we loved it, had fond memories of yelling "FUUUUUSIONNNNN" repeatedly. It was definitely my favorite game of the time. When it was released for PS4 we picked it up again and couldn't figure out why we thought it was so great, because it's terrible. Then we remembered the difference between now and 10 years ago - lots and lots of booze

thebardyspoon posted:It seems too early for it to be a full open world sequel to PS4 Spider-Man to me, not even two years since that last one came out. Possibly a sort teaser thing? Like £30 and a bunch of missions with Miles and his new mechanics with a smaller chunk of open world with the story being him learning his powers with Pete as the mentor and then a sequel with both characters playable later and following up the story stuff from the first game? Sony has form doing that, they made an Infamous game with the girl with the light powers that was apparently better than the main game it was based on. I mean, if you think about it, it's going to be set in New York so they have a whole buttload of assets to reuse.

Lurdiak posted:I just wish more VAs didn't feel the need to do Mark Hamill impressions. His Joker is iconic and legendary, but it's his take on it, other people should do their own thing. I think Alan Tudyk does a pretty good job with his Joker in Harley Quinn. It's inspired by Hammill but he does have a few inflections of his own that is fantastic. Of course I love almost everything about that show so that helps.

Professor Wayne posted:I've only seen clips of Harley Quinn, but I do really like their Joker. It's like they decided to make him actually funny instead of a scary clown that laughs all the time because he's insane. Every now and then I think about "Where's my goddam electric car, Bruce?" or "Lots of dads are serial killers!" and actually laugh. Oh man you should watch it ASAP, it's so much better than I expected it to be. It's basically Venture Brothers mixed with the Tick and Deadpool for the hard R violence.

I was super pumped for Agents of Mayhem and it would have been a great game if they had finished it instead of making GBS threads out a half completed game. I actually pre-ordered it because of how much I liked Saint's Row 4. Between that and Darksiders 3 I don't pre order anymore

I think it was meant to launch a new franchise and boy howdy did they fail. RIP Deep Silver.

muscles like this! posted:Agents of Mayhem really seemed like a game where they spent a lot of time and money on pre-production but when it was time to actually make the game they ran out of cash and just had to throw something together. The game is just chockablock full of repeated content with very few unique missions. I've always thought it was a passion project for someone. They had the character ideas and pitched it successfully. I really do like the idea of it but it was just not fleshed out enough. Plus it really lacked in multiplayer content.
