precision posted:I am playing the game, but as I get older my patience for games which gate content behind a second playthrough when a first playthrough takes 90+ hours is to say the least "naff". same like i've sunk a million hours into the witcher 3 at this point and i've barely even scratched the surface of the sidequests and not even started the DLC, i can't for the life of me ever imagine starting a ng+, which to their credit thankfully is not a gateway for content

raditts posted:The "family friendly" Nintendo image only ever applied to Nintendo of America anyway, didn't it? Back in the NES / SNES days they were infamous for bowdlerizing games for US release, removing blood and naughty language and all that, and even up to today when weeaboos rage about how characters are changed to dress more modestly or can't date their siblings or whatever. i dunno man even if the "colorful italian man jumping on mushrooms" of the SNES/N64 area didn't stick them with a rep for family friendly titles the entire paradigm Mii and Wii Sports et al established at nintendo's zenith was definitely not an exclusively american thing

Sunning posted:Squaresoft poached talent from Capcom to work on Parasite Eve 2. Some people who worked on Resident Evil and Megaman went on to work on PE2. For example, Kenichi Iwao, a writer for Resident Evil 1, became director of PE2. Iwao was responsible for creating the concept of Umbrella, the T-Virus and contributing to writing the STARS team, such as Wesker, for the original Resident Evil. loev to have my insane unfounded speculation confirmed by an actual parasite eve expert

In Training posted:It's cool how many different series Resident Evil has inspired not just through influence but in all the development twists turns and failures that ended up launching tertiary series of their own and the careers led by professionals who worked on them it's kind of insane to think about but not only is the series responsible for popularizing the survival horror genre as a whole, resident evil 4 also basically invented the 3rd person over the shoulder shooter along with all the pros and cons of that genre

Doctor Spaceman posted:I'm not denying that it was influential (Gears of War is one of the most significant games that borrowed from it, and was itself incredibly important), but stuff like Splinter Cell and SOCOM and Max Payne were around well before it, to say nothing of stuff like GTA or Jedi Knight (which had third person stuff that just wasn't very good). i mean, and as that guy pointed out mdk and mdk 2 existed too. i'm not saying it was the first shooter with a third person camera ever. it was the predecessor for over the shoulder cover shooters.

from what i remember the grand total of ground zeroes' bonuses are a couple of mediocre soldiers and a sneaking suit that give you a bit of a head start in the early game but are quickly outclassed so i wouldn't stress out over it there's also hideo kojima who's an s rank guy so he's a bigger boost in the early game but you can also get him in mgsv proper without doing ground zeroes anyway

ah, the gray fox skin being a ground zeroes import actually might be worth the price of admission, since it gives you super sprint. however, in mgsv proper you can get a raiden skin which gives you a slightly better super sprint so it's still something that can be replaced if you skip ground zeroes

Lizard Wizard posted:I'm kinda having second thoughts about big ol strength weapons in DS2. Thankfully I've only got 12 strength as I'm pumping adaptability. I'm certainly okay with keeping the mace around at least. there should be an agility score somewhere (i think over on the right side of the stat screen? it's been years since i played ds2) that's derived from a combination of your adaptability stat and your attunement stat. between the two you want to get it in the ~100 range if you want a decent number of invincibility frames during your dodge roll.
