everyone seems to love horizon new dawn right now but i'm interested to see if it adheres to the typical AAA hype-to-antihype cycle

where at launch it's the best game ever, in 6 month's it's 'pretty good', in a year it 'has issues', and in 2 years it's 'only get it on sale'

Change the 6 months to one week and 2 years to 6 months and you got it perfect

I started playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and it is bizarrely relevant to current events. The old dumpy president that puts on a tough act and pushes people around reminds me of a certain somebody, and I wouldn't be surprised if he attempted to fake an assassination attempt

Depends on the strength of the pull. I'm sure it's not as strong as Zarya's ult because that would render her pretty much useless but if you can't escape it by just walking out of it then it sucks and opens up a ton of combos that result in "you die and can't do anything about it" which is already what a bunch of the game's skills amount to.

edit: ok based on the gameplay video it's less of a pull and more like a yank which is even worse

It looks like it has about the same strength as a Lucio bop. You could use it to catch people running for cover or shoot it over a pit and drag people into it.

One of the most refreshing things about Horizon is that Aloy's gender barely matters, both in universe and in a meta sense.

And that's all the more reason why they should let you choose genders goddamnit!

Wasn't femshep supposed to be the main one but they put male on the box for better sales?

I love character creators in games. I can't start a new save on a souls game without spending 90 minutes making them look just perfectly hosed up.

I think I spent more time making characters in Souls Calibur than actually fighting.

It's really good. They basically expanded upon everything good from the first and cut out bad things. Both chaotic and stealth paths are fully fleshed out now and have a nice arsenal, it's a really cool game.

I got to play one of the newer Initial D arcade games (stage 7) and it's tight as gently caress. The force feedback on the wheel kicks in when the course loads and it feels amazing. Now I want to play it more but my town doesn't have poo poo for arcades.

VVV:I didn't realize that was the Haloid dude, I thought they just made RvB. Rip Haloid dude

I refuse to believe that there are asscreed superfans.

I just thought it was a generic geek Funko bait property, the game is too vanilla for somebody to care strongly about it.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:

My bad hot take: A game that you enjoy is a good game. A game that you don't is a bad game. There's no "objectively good game" or "objectively bad game" lurking in the code, waiting to be uncovered. I know a couple of people who think universally praised games suck rear end, and people who get genuine joy from (what I considered to be) complete black holes of garbage. And they aren't pretending.

Having said that, score games however you want. A review is only useful in the sense that it illuminates and challenges the reader, so if you're good at explaining your thoughts on what works and what doesn't, that's more important than picking the correct types of numbers.

Edit: I've been inoculated against any interest in Mass Effect by the powerful combination of the bad ending of ME3 and the extremely good Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata being released.

I think a game can be subjectively bad while still fun. A good example is the Bionic Commando reboot, the core gameplay is incredibly fun, but the level design is very restrictive, there's not much enemy variety and the story is notoriously bad. It's a fun game but its wrapped up in poop.

I started Nier 2, it's very good but BotW has got me playing pretty lax in combat. I can't help but root for the cute little robots, especially the ones with the cloaks and swords, I imagine they are their kind's heros.
