Zaphod42 posted:The reason why it was received so well was because of the sea shanties. same. mine sits on top of my tv and has a little plastic headcrab on his head. for this months gaming. it honestly depends, I bit the bullet and bought the bullestorm remaster on psn. yeah gearbox can gently caress itself to death, but the money apperently is going to people can fly. plus i loved the game when it came out because it was basically borderlands done right. other then that. i may try for persona 5 and maybe pick up neir automata and horizon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oodx4X1z0yI so a new agents of mayhem trailer hit. its basicaly a 80s cartoon/movie/tv show inspired game in the saints row universe. i want to like it, but that swapping mecanic looks bad plus it just looks generic, like i get what they are trying to go for and i am sure it will be ok at least because volition has talent. but the everything look, idk eh. it looks like something that was poo poo out by gearbox.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is surprisingly not bad. The campaign is straightforward but punchy and it is basically the Battlestar Galactica/Expanse game I didn't know I wanted. But I think I am swayed by my love of military chatter, and naval chatter is the best kind, which is also why I loved Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. yeah, i liked the campain too, i like that it didnt pull any punches at the end and i also liked that you were basicaly fighting a civilization based Terran Federation from starship troopers. a bunch of dead eyed facist dickheads. they litteraly have service guarantees citizen ship posters and the more enemies the more privileges you gain. sure its straight forward, but its interesting. an actual dog posted:Yooka-Laylee 64 that doesnt surprise me. i played the alpha and its basically just a old rare platformer with all the postives/flaws but with better graphics.

KingSlime posted:Maybe. but I'm of the opinion that any genre can be "modernized." The genre was in fashion for a time for a reason, people clearly enjoy the basic gameplay loop. If it feels dated, it means developers didn't properly bring the genre "forward" via innovations, improved level design, better mechanics, etc. your right. i mean DOOM 2016 and the new wolfenstiens new order/old blood, proved you can make a good retro like game with modern amenities.

I think I had my fill" maybe. i like the designes apart from the liefeld syndrome some of the characters have. knight for all its issues works on that part. Spring Break My Heart posted:Asylum repeated the same terrible boss battle like 10 times.

Lurdiak posted:I think your premise is a little flawed there because while it's nice for a child to have a "big budget" game, I think the sheer volume of cheap, indie, free and mobile games a child has access to makes it difficult to compare the experience of a child today to that of one back in the "one game at christmas every year" generation who grew up with an N64. The cheap/free games I could play as a kid were garbage Game and Watch tier stuff, while a kid today can play some genuinely amazing stuff at no cost at all. this. kids least when i was one, dont have discerning or good taste. they just buy "my favorite cartoon": the game or movie based games or whatever aunt or grandma got. my first game for ps1 was star wars teras kasi.

Guy Mann posted:The previews for Agents of Mayhem have been universally negative, even from people liked Saints Row. One guy even compared it to Battleborn in terms of how anemic both the humor and the gameplay was. yeah, i got the same impression, which makes me sad. volition is usualy pretty good with gameplay and humor(unlike gearbox) so its sad that they poo poo this thing out. it definitely has a battleborn quality to it.

Palpek posted:Bulletstorm was loving amazing but selling a completely unnecessary remaster that: i was a dumb poo poo and preordered it only because people can fly made the remaster. its still a great game but now sligtly better looking and 60fps as well as new game plus. the duke thing is weird because its basically a glorified skin but jon st john kinda says poo poo over the cutscenes and during gameplay while characters call him grey and go about their story normal. it sorta works but its eh. and it looks lazy as gently caress at times. Quest For Glory II posted:how can battleborn be an esports game when it is hobby grade. actually i have no idea what hobby grade means does anyone even play that game? i played the beta and it was loving terrible and unfunny as gently caress. it was like if you made borderlands cut out any of what little clever stuff there was and made it even worse and toned it down to just lovely memes. Guy Mann posted:People have so much goodwill for Lucasarts adventure games just because they weren't quite as bad as their competition and they had things like "voice acting" and "jokes". It was really disappointing finally getting to play the re-releases and see that they're still pretty impenetrable without a guide and a lot of the wacky proto-nerd humor has aged horribly. i grew up after the point and clicks and mostly played tie fighter and battlegrounds(still love that game) and jedi outcast and academy as well as kotor. i even liked the force unleashed games because i am broken.

I never saw them as gay, just really really old friends/brothers in arms who have basicaly lived with each other since children and having different perspectivece on how they follow faith. i guess i didnt notice the gay cues. i was more annoyed how flat everyone character was in rogue one. like yeah there was stuff you could piece together easy enough and Cirrut and Baze and the robot were likable enough. but holy gently caress main dude and lead lady were flat and boring, they had potential to be interesting but it was underused. y it was just idk i didn't care about them or feel really bad for them at the end. in 7, all the characters are cool and likable and you route for them and feel for them. kylo is a interesting badguy/anakin done right/inverse vader. also watched the star wars battlefront 2 and got weirdly annoyed because they messed up the imperials the stormtrooper sergeant is wearing the wrong pauldron. sergeants are grey/white, black pauldrons are for enlisted men, and orange if officers. they better fix it.  also the new cod looks cool. cool to see back in world war 2. apperently alot of the campaign is the Battle of Hürtgen Forest. which i never heard off. looked it up. apperently it was a massive gently caress up and blunder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndZl-pNGqMY&t

bloodychill posted:Indeed. The irony of people who profess to want gaming journalism to become more "legitimate" and less enthusiast/corporate press is that when someone actually puts in the effort to do thoughtful criticism especially in light of pop culture in general, they will get shouted down for "not being real gamers" or "not being objective about games" or because the writer doesn't shower the games they like in praise or something. That's not to say cultural criticism of games has been amazing but if earnest attempts to do it keep getting snuffed out by gamers, it's probably never going to take off. Which I guess is OK with me, but then I never really expected much from the enthusiast press to begin with. i think the issue is that for every glixel or waypoint, you have a couple lovely sites like polygon/verge/etc who don't know how to write actual critical or though provoking stuff and just settle for getting mad and bitchy when something doesnt have their didactic political stuff or trying to get clickbait views but cant even play the loving games they talk about right(polygon doom) The White Dragon posted:my complaint about games journalism is that a lot of the writers are rude and sanctimonious as gently caress and treat you like poo poo for "wasting their time" with something that's below their interest this. give me more austin walkers. not kucheras or gies or that dumb gently caress who works for verge who got mad at shadow at mordor.

Sony has been knocking it out of the park with exclusives, the only bad one was order 1886. what good ones does Microsoft have. like 1 maybe. the rest are either meh/poo poo/cancelled. i read somewhere that microsoft is probaly going to close up the gaming branch eventually and sell of the IPs.

I am hoping Prey gives me that Shock shot i need. GUI posted:The only Sniper Ghost Warrior I've played is the recent third one and the main missions and Far Cry-style outposts where they let you do whatever you want are pretty fun.

Less than a year before the game's release there were previews with entire areas, weapons, characters, third person cutscenes and a voiced main character which never made it into the finished game. yeah that sucks. its still not bad considering all that. hope prey is good, demo has me sorta stoked.
