DOOM is game of the year, The Last Guardian is game of the decade. Because that's how long it took them to make it  .

revolther posted:Seems kinda silly to critique that Zero Dawn clip as it's fairly obvious it's the dialog puzzle at the end of a five minute sidequest. Game is gonna have an open world nature, I can't imagine there are any lovely scenes of 1-shot NPC's in GTA5 or Second Son or whatever. It's not just the voice-acting of one NPC, the shoddy character animations tell the real story of what kind of quality you're getting because they're gonna be used across the board for everything. Every single cutscene is guaranteed to use them, and they were the kind of poo poo laughed out the door of a first-year college class. Have another look at the video and watch the way the faces actually work; There's no coherent relation between the eye and mouth movements, they each animate as individual objects sitting in/on the head in a way that hasn't been seen since the late 90's/early-00's. Nevermind the woman's head facing off to the side because whoops the animator tried to make her look aside and made it look even more unnatural. Most games at least use a character model that makes the face a single entire mesh so the animated expressions come off more natural instead of this idiotic mess.

J-Spot posted:Maybe if all you care about is rushing through the story missions, but I'd say the open world adds more to it than most other games of this type. Getting the collectables was fun and keeping the players distracted with a map full of stuff enables the seamless multiplayer. You need a nice detailed world for the hide-and-seek style invasion mode. Hell, make your own fun between missions and go profiling random passers-by for scientologists, furries, or whatever random trait you choose to hunt for sport  .

Looking at upcoming release dates and I can't help but think that, if nothing else, Guerilla Games have severely shot themselves in the foot with their choice of release date for Horizon: Zero Dawn. Two days before a brand-new Nintendo console, nevermind one of the most-wanted games of the last 4-5 years (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild), is not a good place for any new release to be.

Manatee Cannon posted:there was a video of some side quest thing where you're talking to a guy and people in this thread got really negative about the game over it Part of the reason we all got so negative over it, lovely animation and dialogue aside, is the kind of thought process that leads to those design decisions tend to permeate throughout the entire thing. If this is what we're seeing in just a sidequest scene, what kind of crap have they pulled in the rest of the game?

Jimbot posted:The new Zelda looks like it has that annoying weapon durability poo poo from the first Dark Cloud game. Things look like they break incredibly fast. The general inference has been you'll get better gear as you go, especially considering what we've seen in the demos has been merely stuff like rusty swords, broken fire wands, and mere moblin-crafted weaponry.

Samurai Sanders posted:Half of AC is seriously perfect: generations of two secret global organizations fighting each other by running around on rooftops in famous historical cities assassinating each other. Most likely so they had an external framing device to tie otherwise-unrelated storylines together throughout history, and because you know drat-well at some point there's either going to be a game (or at least a stretch of gameplay) going all the way back to Adam and Eve's rebellion against the Precursors.

At least Uplay is better than Origin I guess? Titanfall 2 not only has a campaign, it's one of the best FPS story modes in recent years. Also a first-year student's buggy php client program project is better than loving Origin, its a very low bar  .

Sakurazuka posted:The PS4 has picked up momentum there recently but attached-to-a-tv console gaming is still basically dead in Japan, which is one reason JP publishers are increasingly looking at sales in the west. Vita/PS3/PS4 multiplats will phase out eventually but they're an easy way of maximising domestic revenue for smaller publishers. Actually, from the looks of the announced titles, the small/medium developers are all jumping ship to the Nintendo Switch.

Sakurazuka posted:Is there a list? I gave up following the Switch thread a long time ago. The Wikipedia page for Switch games has several series of games that have generally had PS3/multiplatform versions like Disgaea, Blazblue, even a confirmation for a 'Tales of' game from the developers. Considering the Switch is the cheapest platform to develop for with it's lower specs (assuming it's not a wretched bitch to code for like the WiiU was), it's going to be the easy mark for a lot of developers that can't raise a budget to make something PS4-worthy in terms of graphics with the PS3 and Vita dead and buried now. Especially if it's something with 50+ hours of content like a JRPG, nevermind that Nintendo pulled their heads out of their asses and made the console region-free.

Bust Rodd posted:For Honor strikes me as the kind of game that was meant to accompany a social trend that maybe never happenned, like maybe a big movie or book series could have made Viking vs Samurai vs Knight really cool and drawn it into the public eye... I'm curious to see how the P2P connections will hold up once it actually releases, because I still don't think that's gonna be pretty in the slightest.

It's a timeless classic imo. AC:Syndicate is worth your time, it's legit good. Also the original Rayman isn't so much a 'timeless classic' as an exercise in self-harm considering how hard it gets.

Ausgoons JB Hi-Fi's dropped the price on a bunch of PS4 games, including things like Odin Sphere for all of $28AU.Samurai Sanders posted:I'm finishing up side missions in Gravity Rush 2 and on the third scene of Battle Nurse 2 where you have to breakfall at the end of a long jump off an air bus, and I have failed to breakfall like 20 times in a row and Kat just face plants every time. I have been playing this game and its prequel for a long time and the breakfall mechanics are nothing special for action games, they had become second nature a long time ago. What am I not understanding here? The timing is precise on a gimmick you've never even knew existed before the Battle Nurse segments, and now it expects you to execute it like you've been doing it on every landing you've ever made. You know, instead of faceplanting into the ground at high speed because you don't give a poo poo.

jeffLebowski posted:i think the underlying reason for the popular hate boner surrounding for honor simply comes down to its price. the amount of content it offers would be considered light for a f2p game; its flat out laughable for a 60 dollar release. then they have the balls to throw in microtransactions and a season pass as well? i wont deny its a cool idea, and an interesting concept. but the pricing, and the sheer gall of ubisoft to expect people to lap up their content-light product at 60 + 40 is just rubbing people the wrong way. It's more that we've played For Honour at some point as one Beta build or other and been turned right off of it.

I said come in! posted:Microsoft confirmed a few months back that it will be significantly more expensive (their words) then the Xbox One S. I don't think they intend to sell it at a price point that appeals to everyone they can, it'll be an enthusiast gaming machine. It's going to have to be able to do native 4K on everything to justify that though. It's going to be trotted out to die at this rate. XBones just don't have the library of exclusives to stand on a newer expensive model the way the PS4 Pro could encourage upgrades with (once that Boost mode came out, at least). It's an overpriced niche machine as you said, but it's up against it's own more conventional sibling, two versions of the PS4, and the Switch. All of which are almost certainly going to be cheaper. Real hurthling! posted:"Always" is not correct Indeed. Xbox 360's backwards-compatibility has a whole lot of red in its list about which Xbox games are actually playable in a reasonable state and which will just fall over trying to run the disk or have missing textures. And the XBone's hasn't been so much a selling point as "please, god, buy it. We're good for some more exclusives, promise, just play your old stuff in the meantime on it okay?  "

Shredder posted:yes but how many idiots spent $150 on a "better" controller? or $200 more for a "better" ps4 The "pro" controller's not entirely without merit, given it's usable on a pretty sizeable library of XBone and PC games without replacing anything else. It's obscenely overpriced, sure, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing in of itself.

Sakurazuka posted:I still don't see how, you can get games for new as cheaper or cheaper than second hand if you wait like three or four months anyway. If you're buying second hand within that time period it's usually like maybe £5 cheaper than a new copy if you're lucky. Gamestop makes it a standing policy of pushing secondhand over new whenever possible, including underhanded sales tactics like insisting they're out of new copies despite having them to encourage shifting secondhand stock. Really though it's because people trade their old games for new ones, and now Gamestop is stuck with an overabundance of second-hand stock in every store they can't shift for love nor money.

Manatee Cannon posted:me3 wasn't just the weak ending to a game; it was the weak ending to a trilogy of games, in which you made choices that shaped your character and the universe (s)he lived in. having an awful ending was a much bigger deal with that game because it was following two critically and fan acclaimed games that were liked in large part because of the characters and the story Also the developers at every step along the way for five years told people the trilogy would absolutely not end in an arbitrary choice.

VideoGames posted:I have said before in various chat threads that Mass Effect 3 is my favourite of the trilogy but entirely due to playing it a year after Citadel was released. Not only that, but the choices I made and treating Citadel as the epilogue (which was recommended in the thread) gave me such a fitting end to the trilogy. The biggest issue with Mass Effect is probably that the game is, really, so very diverse and I somehow took a route through all 3 that was cohesive, entertaining and appropriate for how the story concluded. The ending wasn't at all what most of Bioware wanted, reputedly. The head writer told everyone to pound sand while he wrote it himself in a locked room. It also obliterates the entire point of the Paragon route showing it's entirely possible for organics and synths to live in harmony. The Extended Cut dlc was the remaining writers making an admirable attempt to salvage the flaming wreckage into something coherent.
