Lobok posted:^^Dang, is that for real? I had his beard shaved off not too long ago and just yesterday I was like "hm, his stubble looks thicker than I remember". yeah as you keep playing it has like 4 or 5 levels of stubble and full beard growth. you can go to a haircut place, which are sort of obscure to find in towns, and opt to have it trimmed. It really sold the passage of time and I loved coming out of a long questline seeing how aged I looked from it.

bloodychill posted:Is there going to be a summer drought this year for people to use to catch up with the ton of good releases over the past 6 months? I get the feeling a lot of people are going to need it. Injustice 2, Prey, and The Surge come out in May, and the only big games I know of that come out June/July/Aug are Tekken 7 and then Shadow of War 2 months later. I think Splat2n and ARMS also come out during that timeframe but from June until like November I don't see any real confirmed big releases. It will give me enough time to finish Nier, Persona, and hopefully also play Horizon so I'm good with this.

Lurdiak posted:Skyward Sword is the only Zelda I never finished and will probably never finish. I even finished Spirit Tracks. Having brighter colors doesn't make up for how awful everything about the flying was or how incredibly dull and linear the overworld was. And fuuuuuuuck the writing in that game. I liked Ghirahim but man gently caress fighting that guy and that big black lump with legs like 3 loving times each. I already hate zelda boss battles but that just took the cake.

seems funny to compare Zelda to the game where Todd Howard said "you see that mountain? you can go there" which was a complete lie, while the opposite is true in BotW

the best mass effect game would be if Sega steals most of the RPG elements and applies them to a Binary Domain sequel poo poo just put Binary Domain on consoles again since it's weird to run on PCs for some reason

ImpAtom posted:Writing video games is hard. I've found the best games writing comes from total madmen, like Suda51, Yoko Taro, or SWERY. I'd put Kojima on there as well, solely because he attempts to do things with storytelling in games you otherwise could never do with other mediums. There are great traditional storytellers of course but the guys who really stretch what's only possible in an interactive setting do some very fun things.

precision posted:RPGs in particular keep doing the most annoying thing in the world, which is when you meet someone and then you have between 5 (Bioware) and 10 (Obsidian) conversation options which all boil down to "So who are you?" a lot of older games do that to pad out poo poo and it's really quite worthless, it should just flat out run that question on autopilot and move on to other viable dialogue choices. even worse is when you are REQUIRED to go through all 4 choices ANYWAY so it's even more pointless.

into one compelling dialogue chunk instead of several bite size "Why'd you join?" "OK, where's your family?" "OK, what are your goals?" type things. It's something I had to specifically call out as something I would really prefer not to do and they reacted as if I was crazy until I went at it for 30 minutes on Why It's Bad.

I'm guessing the online community is pretty dead by now, but I know that it has a story mode and it could make for a fun cheap game for when friends are over. it's up there with some other fighting games as having a large amount of content to do by yourself with trial towers, regular arcade poo poo, story mode, and other fun unlockable stuff.

Franchescanado posted:Found a good deal on Craigslist to buy Horizon Zero Dawn for $30. They also have Watchdogs 2, Uncharted 4 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Any of those worth $30? DXMD is not worth your time or money. Watchdogs 2 I can't say but if you're going to buy one open world game in Horizon then I'm not sure if WD2 will offer anything else, though it's an improvement over the first. Uncharted 4 is pretty good if not boring towards the end; also its multiplayer is actually really fun.

bloodychill posted:One of the big problems with Destiny behind the scenes was that the devtools were a huge loving mess and made it hard to design new scenarios. So basically it's all going to come down to "did they fix their poo poo" for the new one. I remember enjoying Destiny with friends when it first came out and then the well kind of dried up. The Taken King and all the other expansions should have just been a part of the loving game at release, because as-is it was sorely lacking in solid content. It didn't help that Destiny devs were new at this kind of thing so they changed poo poo like currencies and rewards and ways to upgrade things multiple loving times. Imagine playing this game and seeing the overall system morph like 3 times in the span of several months. It was ridiculous and I cannot fathom how people still played all the way up to this day. That being said the aesthetics, presentation, and gun gameplay were fantastic but I would not pick up D2 unless the devs know exactly what they actually want to loving do with this. I'm cautiously optimistic since it was a fun ride while it lasted but you need like 30 or so strikes off the bat and a shitload of stuff to do or it's going to be boorish to play for the average non-Stockholm Syndrome player after a few weeks. Moving away from X360 and PS3 gives me hope that they'll be able to create things without restrictions.

Red Bones posted:I can't remember the name, but I remember that it came out and it was unbelievably bad. It's full of those adventure game puzzles where if you didn't want to hit a bad end, you should have left and reentered a room an hour earlier and examined an object that didn't look interactable at all, and wasn't the first time you entered the room. I think it's pretty lenient with reloading from earlier points, but yeah. lol that was NightCry, right? Awful.

I'm anxious for what else could be that bad.

But that's how you know the game is good! haha good, at this rate the game is enjoyable enough but the aspect of route 2 so far for me is less about "oh this new combat is fun" and more about "ok when will things pick up and I can stop retreading things". so I've been anxious about when things truly diverge

MMF Freeway posted:The trick is to not treat it like an open world. Just do the mission and get out. By usual open world standards there is next to nothing to do in the world that isn't mission related. This. I never thought of MGSV as an open world, more like a hub that happened to house other random things to find and the overall map where other missions took place. It was kind of annoying calling the helicopter and not being able to simply fast travel to another map location without going ALL the way home, though. Even with that plus the grind to get certain, totally optional weaponry (you can beat most of the game with very basic tools except maybe the godawful boss battles) it still stands out as one of the best stealth action games ever. To this day I still get disappointed when I can't go from a run to a leaping dive and into a roll in any 3rd person shooters. Honestly that's partially why I tried Wildlands thinking it would be like MGSV and being incredibly put off by how stiff and lovely it was. Any game like that just feels stiff after playing MGSV.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Did Kojima bring over much of his team to the new studio? If they are working on making Horizon's engine even better that seems like a glorious revolution quite a few people who worked on FOX engine stuff, cinematics, and general developers from the Konami team joined him, as well as having Mark Cerny onboard to help produce. by all accounts, with the excellent new Guerilla engine plus Cerny plus Sony's blank check, they'll probably get to reach the potential of the Fox Engine or beyond.

That's as bad as Firefly fans... your best bet if you really want to play a new Half-Life badly is to hope Arkane makes a doppelganger of it, they'd be my pick to come closest to that kind of thing.

After that it's like, Tekken 7 in June and then a long stretch of nothing, though Ruiner might come out in that timeframe.
