I've given Idle Thumbs several tries over the years but I could never really get into it because their roundtable format was too open and disorganized, I much more prefer something with a more focused theme for each episode like Retronauts or Watch Out for Fireballs or even the gaming episodes of Laser Time. That and since everyone on it works in game dev there's too much self-promotion or playing softball with anything anybody is affiliated with.

It used to be that people who wanted to be e-famous drew comics of themselves sitting on a couch playing video games and cracking jokes. Now they actually record themselves sitting on a couch playing video games and cracking jokes

Playing Catlateral Damage made me realize that games about trashing houses are a great but woefully underutilized genre. Katamari Damacii, Elebits, King of Crusher...uh...

Catlateral itself isn't super amazing or anything, I got it in a bundle and spent an hour and then felt like I'd pretty much experienced everything I had to offer. The fact that they went to the trouble of programming procedurally generated houses is impressive but it also means the levels are super samey, one of my favorite little things on Katamari is all the little tableaus they have set up throughout the level and how they creatively place items to guide you and you miss out on that with procgen.

codenameFANGIO posted:I have purchased Resident Evil 4 on so many platforms it is ridiculous. As a matter of fact it may be time to finish another game of Resident Evil 4 on Wii with the handcannon again because why the gently caress not. Something that kind of blew my mind was realizing that Vice City is set in 1986 and came out in 2002, 16 years later, and right now we're only one year away from it being that long from when Vice City came out to the present day.

codenameFANGIO posted:Like DOOM and DOOM 2 you can never own too many copies of Resident Evil 4. To be fair it came out literally right after 9/11, which is probably the biggest cultural shakeup America has had in that time aside from maybe smart phones and social media. Also, San Andreas was set in 1992 and came out in 2004. It was 12 years in the past...13 years ago.

The Witness is so loving good you guys. Like, it's not perfect and I don't feel bad at all for using a guide for a few of the more obscure or involved puzzles but I'm still loving just about everything about it. I might still like The Talos Principle more as a whole but The Witness is so much more unique and weird and I'm glad I managed to avoid getting spoiled about it aside from some Twitter drama about the ending and a certain optional objective that was pretty funny at the time but also gave me a completely wrong idea of what the game would be like.

I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying a game with solid gameplay that is elevated by polish and production values any more than there is enjoying something that works well within its limitations. Like, I like the first Mad Max for being a tight little character-driven exploitation film made on a shoestring budget by amateurs but that doesn't mean I don't also love Fury Road for being an insane display of blockbuster tent pole filmmaking.

Harrow posted:Has there ever been a good wuxia action game? I want a game like Nioh but it's based on kung fu and wuxia films and you can wall run and do crazy aerial acrobatics and at some fight you and some other dude play out an entire duel in your imagination One of the Sly Cooper games had a boss fight that was a wuxia fight on top of a bamboo grove whose main mechanic was huge flying leaps across the stage that lasted like 5-10 seconds before you'd land. It was awesome. That willingness to get weird with shaking up the core gameplay was a really great thing about that series in general, even if for every awesome fight you'd get something like a first-person underwater segment or Furry Giantess Shadow of the Colossus.

In Training posted:What even is the worst aspects of RE4...QTEs? Imagine if RE4 had QTEs that popped up in the middle of random gameplay segments with the same frequency and unpredictability as during cutscenes and that failing one meant replaying a 15+ minute stealth action sequence from the beginning and you have an idea of how infuriating Evil Within's booby trap system was.

Quest For Glory II posted:Brian Vigneault, known to some as “PoShYbRiD” on Twitch, mysteriously disappeared in the middle of his most recent 24-hour charity stream on Sunday. Vigneault took a quick break from his live stream for a smoke break, not uncommon for some streamers during extended streaming sessions, but he never returned. He was found passed out and unresponsive by Virginia Beach police about an hour later and pronounced dead on the scene. As sad as any untimely death is, at least thanks to his streaming carrier his dead body was found in hours instead of weeks.

Meanwhile, I own two of these things so I may in fact be part of the problem I was gonna say, we're well past the point where people who had an original 3DS were having the new Pokemon game run at like single frame rates during big battles.

One of my favorite kinds of game endings are ones that take you back to your starting area only with the knowledge and experience you've gained over the course of the game it's a radically different experience. One of my least favorite kind of game endings are ones that are not only points of no return but actively erase all of your progress with no warning or way of accessing an old save game. Completely unrelated to those two statements, I don't know how I feel about the ending of The Witness.

I think developers should go in the opposite direction and make their characters harder to sexualize. One more reason that games like Dragon's Dogma and Dark Souls rule, you spend forever crafting your perfect waifu and then the first thing that happens is a dragon tears their chest open and gives them a huge scar or they turn into undead beef jerky.

Lurdiak posted:Wowers, my friend really liked Night in the Woods! I haven't played it but everything about the game's aesthetic seems to be laser-targeted to the kind of people who use the term "adulting" unironically so I'm not surprised to see so much fanart of it in such a short amount of time. That and it seems like the perfect style to cram your OC/fursona into with minimal effort. Jay Rust posted:I played through the tutorial case and the first case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney this morning, and I thought it was really good! No dumb adventure logic (I didn't have to rub stuff against random stuff), and the pacing of the dialogue and the twists and turns is absolutely delightful. The tutorial case is super linear and obvious compared to the rest of the game(s), it also doesn't touch on the investigation segments of the game that suffers the most from occasionally from having to pixel hunt for items or brute-force every dialogue option and inventory item until you hit the magical trigger. That said they're still great games with good writing, humor, and minimal Japanese anime insensitivity/creepiness so if you liked the first case then go for it. Just savescum and/or use a guide if needed.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:'Adulting' is like 'feels' 2.0 Exactly. The underlying sentiment is perfectly fine and relatable, it's just the way of expressing it is asinine and also a huge red flag about the person saying it. It's like when somebody describes something as an "epic fail" IRL or derisively refers to someone as a "special snowflake" or uses the term "virtue signalling" ever.

Skies of Arcadia's final dungeon was pretty rad. The first dungeon is you exploring some abandoned ruins on a tiny island with an aged and broken-down robot as a boss, the at the end of the game the big bad summons a lost continent from the depths that rises up and fits perfectly against that island, only all the buildings are pristine and in working order and you fight fully functional versions of that first boss robot.

VideoGames posted:I'm going to go through my uncompleted games in alphabetical order. Each one gets at least 6 hours of play. If after six hours I am not having fun, then it goes in the bin. If I do enjoy it, then I don't stop playing it till I complete it. I really don't think it should take 6 hours to decide whether or not you're enjoying a game.
