JollyBoyJohn posted:Nier Automata is the most overrated game I've ever heard of. Its not even that bad its just the fans are real weidos and raise the game up to be a 10/10 life changing experience when its a pervy shitey action rpg with a very poor combat system and an above average narrative this is good to hear. I will never play this game because I live with a woman and wouldn't want to be caught dead playing a game that looks like porn. Almost thought I might be missing on some worthwhile stuff

Call of Cthulhu (2018) is a good game. Putting RPG elements into an investigative/adventure game is a fun idea and the different paths and ways you can get through the mystery based on your different stats is solid. Voice acting is solid for the most part too.

KrunkMcGrunk posted:Mario odyssey is almost there. The only bad part about it is the insane number of moons you can collect, which inevitably leads to padding them out. Then again, like 80% of the moons are optional. Mario Odyssey had no challenge whatsoever (except for the optional challenge levels at the end) and it didn't build on its ideas. I get the justification, that by repeating ideas or introducing new ones instead of building and mixing up previous ones you make it so players don't feel lost/confused and can go about objectives in the order of their own choosing. The problem is this makes the gameplay constantly feel the same, with no evolution and no increase of challenge that we've seen in basically every other Mario so far. I still enjoy it and might play it again soon, but my reasons for liking it are the art and music, which remains fresh and has variety, as opposed to the gameplay.

giogadi posted:Has anybody played a game and thought “man this gameplay is soooo good, but I wish there were more cutscenes” I really love cutscenes and think they do a lot for pacing and just making games more chill. I love getting a chance to have a little break and cutscenes still feel like I'm getting some type of reward. In Kingdom Hearts 3, I wanted "more cutscenes" but in a literal sense. The structure was off compared to KH2. You'd get a few little tiny cutscenes in each world, and then once you were done with the world you would get like 20-40 minutes of uninterrupted cutscenes. This sucked for me. The give and take between gameplay and cutscenes is important and they can make each other better, but when you're having to watch a tv episode-length cutscene without warning while you want to play it sucks. KH2 has 2-10 minute cutscenes happen every 30 minutes or so, and it just feels much better and easier to focus on because you know you won't have to be watching for so long.

But he isn't into videogames like an average goon itt is. This makes sense because I always thought his best work was Board James. That was a good time to (still) be a AVGN fan.

Days Gone is decent and sadly the closest thing we have to a new Dead Rising game. Speaking of Dead Rising... Dead Rising 1 is the best obviously, but Dead Rising 3 is 2nd place. Dead Rising 3 plays like a real sequel to Dead Rising. It changes it up with new combat options and much improved aiming, and changes all the exploration since you're in a whole city and not just a mall. Dead Rising 2 feels exactly like Dead Rising 1 but just adds some new bullshit with the combo weapons. You have to find crafting benches to put together combo weapons, and you have limited inventory space so you end up carrying a bunch of poo poo you don't want hoping you'll find some other poo poo you don't want so you can take it to a crafting bench and turn it into something you do want. Not fun. Dead Rising 3 at least has the decency to let you craft anywhere easilly. I'll concede that Dead Rising 2 does have better psychopaths though. They get a little too grotesque in 3.

The actor who played Deacon is actually pretty good in the show Being Human but they made a major mistake with the voice direction. Whenever he talks while riding his bike, he starts YELLING REALLY LOUD and it gets annoying instantly, as well as just getting in the way of acting since he has do everything while yelling. If you get off the bike it still happens, so it becomes extra weird. You can see it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO5VrPVVmsk

AlphaKeny1 posted:I couldn't finish KH3 because of this. After every major setpiece and climactic fight you get insanely long and boring dialogues. this is a problem unique to Kingdom hearts 3. The other games had the good sense to space out cutscenes so every 15 minutes you'd get 3-5 minutes of cutscenes. This allowed me to feel rewarded by the cutscenes and take a break to smoke more weed. KH3 has hours without cutscenes and then slams your rear end with 20-40 minute cutscenes after every world. I played through almost the whole series last year and had a really nice time tbh, especially 1 and 2. I was dealing with some depression and medication stuff back then, and I wonder if maybe you need to be depressed to enjoy the games. If you ever look up user reviews many of them mention how Kingdom Hearts helped them through their parents divorce.

The vast majority of people enjoy sports because they get some type of narrative out of it, and they view the teams/players as characters. They don't watch sports because they "admire athleticism", which tbh would be gay. If people can get that narrative out of people playing videogames then its probably fulfilling the same emotional needs for the fans as sports does, which makes it seem like sports to me. This is why Pro Wrestling is the best sport, it is a scripted drama as opposed to most sports which are reality tv.

Remedy peaked with Max Payne. The only one of their games to actually have good protagonist and good writing that mixes up influences instead of just regurgitating them.

Used to play through Eternal Darkness nearly once a year until college. It's not Luigi's Mansion, but back then I viewed it as a very good game that kept me on edge. I even ran into my mom's room screaming after seeing the bathtub scene/scare. There were some "scares" that were pretty funny and good, and while it could be annoying, it was actually kind of cool to deal with tons of sanity effects when your sanity got completletly drained. You'd walk into a room and wonder if you were actually making progress, or if your head was going to fall off halfway through and then you'd realize it was just a hallucination. Or you'd try to save your game, and you'd watch your data get deleted instead (not for real though). This feeling actually did capture how it feels to go crazy.

Isn't having death be part of the "game loop" a big deal with Souls fans? Isn't that what separates Souls from other challenging games? I think its intentional but I'm not a big enough fan to say wether I actually like it or consider it bad design.

Probably not an unpopular oppinion but i had a super funny experience trying to replay Bioshock with my GF after playing Deus Ex, System Shock 2 and Prey together. I had great memories of playing it, sneaking around my house late at night to get a few extra hours and was talking it up as a great game for us to play after checking out all these immersive sims. One of the first things we saw was a hallway with a chair blocking it. In a real immersive sim you would just push the chair out of the way, jump over it or blow it up but too bad we were playing Bioshock.

wilfredmerriweathr posted:I just downloaded DS and haven't even tried it yet but I hate walking sims and absolutely love kojima so it is a mystery if I'll like it but poo poo might as well try. when people call it a walking sim they mean it literally. It isn't a "walking sim" like Firewatch, its a game that simulates walking over long distrances. You'll probably like it since it has the classic Kojima "getting weird little details from real life and gameifying them". He made waiting for an elevator fun in MGS1, so walking/backpacking is no big deal. It took 5-10 hours for it to hook my gf, but it worked on me instantly. Theres a lot of cutscenes at the beginning that make it a little hard to enjoy right off the bat.

William Henry Hairytaint posted:*turns chair backwards and sits down, crossing arms over the backrest* I got to the same part as you and felt the same way. For some reason I started trying it again last night and I've been feeling the same way...again There's some aspects of the game I like quite a bit, but I guess I just need the opportunity for self-expression within an action game, which Sekiro definitely doesn't do. If you kind of like Sekiro but want a game where you can mess around and experiment with mechanics ; try the modern Ninja Gaiden series and Wanted:Dead (my 2023 GOTY). I had a lot of fun with those. You can feel like you're doing cool badass poo poo/strategies instead of just trying to win a fight.

deep dish peat moss posted:Excuse me but this is true about the movie Dead or Alive and it owns hard because of it. From what I remember Dead of Alive starts with an absolutely terrific opening sequence. I remember it being pretty unforgettable, particularly two moments containing an excess of cocaine and ramen. It's been at least 20 years since I watched it but that poo poo was powerful and the energy of it sustains the movie. The ex-detective who spends all day carving flutes was cool too, but I do remember the sequel being a much better movie, overall. Though it does feel silly to compare them since they only share the two main actors and an absurdist take on Yakuza crime flicks.
