Proofreading credits that are longer than most novellas is what you deserve for putting your game on kickstarter

Great minds think alike  3D Dot Game Heroes still has one of the best character (weapon?) creators in any video game imo

Unfortunately From's only connection to 3D Dot Game Heroes is that they published the JP version, it was made by Silicon Studio and I dunno who published the NA version. edit: wikipedia says it was Atlus so well I guess we're never getting 3D Dot Game Heroes 2

I agree with Lurdiak about something, my god  Ok it's actually not that surprising really. I muted the music very early on in The Witcher 3 and never looked back, enjoyed the game a lot more that way.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:That also reminds me there was some survival game (Rust I think) where you do get a random character, and there were people complaining when they rolled a female character and couldn't change it This resulted in people getting a lot of random hate from bad people and disliking the game because they were called slurs because their character turned out to be black so it's a real stupid idea

CharlieFoxtrot posted:If at least one person learned something from being given a skin color they couldn't change and receiving hate for it, though It's still a stupid idea because all it lead to in practice was a whole bunch of whining and making people with REAL mental barricades genuinely uncomfortable (see the article I'm about to link). I like Garry Newman, he is a smart guy who doesn't give much of a poo poo, but his response to this was "it happens in real life and you don't get to choose there" and it made me wonder if he knows that people play video games to get away from real life.

Snak posted:Not every game has to be an escape from every real life issue. No one's making you play RUST. It's very ignorant of him to just say and imply "people are racist/sexist/whathaveyou irl and it's not my fault it carries over to the game" when it definitely is for pushing it on the players in such a hamfisted way. Treating those issues as nothing more than another layer of depth in your video game is very insensitive.

Snak posted:I'm just talking about player character gender and race being randomized. By itself, yes, it's an interesting idea that hasn't really been done before. I stand by my opinion that a multiplayer game played mostly by mid-teenagers is a terrible place to debut such an idea.

One thing I've always appreciated about FEAR is that they don't stop you from trying to blow Alma away if you really want to. Sure, nothing happens except for a visual effect as your bullets become ghost bullets, but still. They could've had the protagonist lower his gun or refuse to shoot when the crosshair is on her or whatever but nope, they let you fire away. As well you probably should if you are suddenly confronted by some crazy poo poo. edit: Also a little detail about that I recall is that Alma bleeds if you shoot her in the endgame because despite still being a spooky ghost girl, she's at least vulnerable now.

Also there's a sequence in the first game (maybe the second game?) where Alma is slowly chasing you, and if you try to shoot her there she teleports ahead and catches up to you faster

mutata posted:lol what does this even mean? Seems pretty obvious? Static camera angles (and thus pre-rendered backgrounds) mean hand-placed/hand-painted scenery which requires some thought to be put into the art direction. The goal becomes to frame and create the scene around the camera instead of just placing stuff wherever. See Abe's Oddysee for a pretty well-known example.

I bought Prey! The controls are clunky and feel pretty muddy, movement in general is not very fun-feeling, but other than that it's drat good so far.

Mordja posted:What did you get it on? I think the PS4 version might still have some input issues, and the controls are generally considered much better on PC than console. I bought it on PC. The game runs on the same engine as Dishonored 2, and I didn't really like how the movement felt in that game either. Just feels very imprecise, especially in the air, which is a bad thing because you get a jetpack early on in this one. Also I am tired of video games where you move slow as molasses, improved to slightly slower than a turtle with all the movement speed upgrades. *glares at re7*

Macarius Wrench posted:The combat in Nier is so simplistic its almost offensive. Just roll with it. There's actually a surprising amount of depth to it, especially later on in the game, but it's hard to tell because combos etc are exactly as effective as just hitting light attack and heavy attack over and over separately.

To be fair, I also didn't climb that fence at first because those two guards are very obviously directly in the line of sight to you and the fence which will both be lit up with a giant spotlight. But climbing over it taught me that guards in Hitman are totally blind outside of a range of about 5 feet at which point they gain crystal clear perfect vision.

precision posted:I got Absolution free with PS+ and it was... fine? Never understood why people were down on that game, the story and B-movie poo poo is bonkers but it was a blast to play. Absolution is a great game. I think the reason people were down on it and still are to this day is because it's pretty antithetical to the standard Hitman formula, going from open levels to a more checkpoint/area based system. There are still some open levels in the classic style (the Chinatown one and the one where you have to take out the three cops come immediately to mind) but it basically goes checkpoint to checkpoint for the majority. Generally speaking it caught a lot of flak for being very... pushy on the player, for lack of a better word. It came out at like the peak of ragging on video games for being too hand-holding, and it definitely feels that way from time to time. Directing the player around as it does was decidedly Not Hitman, not that it really matters but it did a lot to the series' fans. It tells you exactly where to go if you don't bother telling it not to via the options menu, and that was a relatively new addition to the series at the time. It also has an actively bad story instead of a mostly ignorable bad story like the rest of the games but the story in Hitman matters exactly 0 in every iteration so lol.

Alan Wake is going away because the licensed music the game uses is expiring. https://twitter.com/remedygames/status/863012017833218049 Buy this game and American Nightmare. Please. I implore you. You owe it to yourself to play this game before you miss your chance to do so while still giving back to the developers. Both games have been cracked six ways from sunday and they will be around forever, but you'll only have one more chance to support Remedy for making such an incredible and unique game series.
