when you think about it, Mario is a procedurally generated auto runner, its just that the procedure is inside miyamoto-san's brain and you're a baby if you let go of the run button

i have hope metroid will be better than lords of shadow

the true comparison is whether its better than mirror of fate, which won't be hard cause that game was even worse than lords of shadow

learning that there is such a game as Nobunaga's Ambition 201X, seeing a picture of nobunaga holding a laser gun, and then realizing that its a bad mobile gacha game, is today's arc of disappointment

yeah, I didn't know liking Vagrant Story was controversial.
I never did actually finish it, though. with all the poo poo that Square remakes, I wish they'd make that one of them, since it's probably unplayably ugly by today's standards.

its one of the better looking psx games at least, if you run it in an emulator at a high res it could pass for a PS2 game

Is he actually still showing his face on videogames?

What's the game name?

Stationeers, doesn't look too bad tbh although a bit more space engineers than SS13 at the moment. feature list is a crazy early access warning sign tho

he actually released a real rear end completed game last year, Out of Ammo, that was one of the best among the first batch of VR games, so dayz guy is alright by me

I won't care about this until you can make bombs out of potato chips and water.

it doesn't have any kind of adversarial mode or roles yet, which IMO is kind of missing the point of why people play SS13. I'm watching some youtube vids of it now though and I have decided, I will buy this game because it actually looks a lot better than space engineers despite SE being in early access for approximately 69 months

If you're going to present the player with a task that can be failed, then pull the interactivity out of it at the last second in order to achieve a dramatic effect, you should be making movies, not video games.

I agree generally, but also its not like making the last bullet in the gun do more damage or the last 10% of the healthbar actually represent 20% of your health is the equivalent to the intro fight in sotn where if you die maria comes and kills dracula for you

I know it's early but I'd like to nominate FF14 for game of the month.

Cost increases per minion that you buy, and you need to grind out Fates with the correct minion to get a weapon

I've done 3 and haven't gotten any weapon currency yet so the event's busted and worthless imo

I just checked my yokai spreadsheet from the last time they had this event, and it took me 45 days of daily grinding to get everything lmao, not including the initial grind to get the minions

here's my chart from last time, 222 medals over a month and a half. I like ff14 a lot and I'm glad I did it because the yokai stuff is insanely good, but gently caress that event lmao. I didn't record the actual number of fates I ran but the drop rate is about 33% so 666 fates @ 5-10 minutes each + travel time = 100+ hours of grinding

Do they give you those charts or did you do it yourself

I made my own spreadsheet to track stuff because I was gonna go insane if I didn't have some idea of where I was at in the process + its easy to mess up and waste time grinding the wrong medals if you aren't organized about it

I feel bad for the cuphead guys, cause they ended up delaying their game by two years, remortgaged their houses, and totally compromised the design of their game because dummies had a negative reaction when they revealed it was a boss rush thing

if they had just released it 2 years ago it would have been good + they wouldn't have ruined their lives

So many devs involved with MS have had some weird issue or another so I can believe it.

there was also the story about the phantom dust sequel where it started out as a super low budget multiplayer only game and some MS dude got on a podcast and talked a lot of poo poo about how it was gonna have a 40 hour JRPG story mode and unilaterally changed the scope of the project without increasing the budget

He chose to sacrifice his reputation as a games journalist to provide us all this important service and hell, I'm thankful.

he did that 10 years ago actually when he reviewed mass effect 1 and said the game was too hard and sucked, until everyone pointed out that he didn't spend any of his skill points

Mass Defect: Why Mass Effect falls short of its hype

It delivered on the first, but not on the second. While the conversational system and facial animation is perhaps the best I�ve ever seen in a video game, the game play is maddeningly flawed. Call it Mass Defect.
But here�s where it breaks down. The tactical play is horrendous. That wasn�t so evident on the early Eden Prime level, but once you�re off in the missions to other planets, it becomes overwhelmingly bad. You feel like you�re fighting with extremely incapable soldiers.
Maybe this game is just my Vietnam War of video games. I�m stuck in the middle. And I don�t think I�ll ever get out. It has beaten me. And you? If you�re into good game play as much as I am, you should forget about this one.

Update:
When so many readers wrote in to tell me that I messed up my review of Mass Effect, I had to take a second look. It turns out, you were right. I was wrong. I owe an apology to you for writing a bad review. I also apologize to BioWare, which made a better game than I thought, and gulp, to Microsoft. The game play is not as flawed as I thought.
The dumb thing about the way I played the game, as many pointed out, is that I didn't make use of my Talent Points. I started the game doing so, but while on Feros, I didn't pay attention to all the Talent Points I was accumulating after every encounter. Those points just sat there. They were waiting for me to assign them to specific character trait improvements...A lot of positive effects flowed from this expanded repertoire in game play.

I'm trying to think of a game that I gave up on because I couldn't beat it to call my Vietnam but I'm struggling, the only thing that comes to mind is some samurai western thing I played on PS2 that I got to one of the later bosses and just had no idea how you were supposed to beat him.

my Video Vietnam is Orphen: Scion of Sorcery, on the PS2

While it's ultimately up to the CEO of Square Enix, he says that "if things are taken a little too far," the mods for Final Fantasy 15 might affect the moddability of future Final Fantasy games. "So if there's anything we can say, it's try to be as controlled as possible."

the thing about raids (or strikes. whatever) is they're actually pretty hard to make if you're gonna put the effort in, and the big MMOs don't add them that often either (ff14 is sort of an exception but all its raids are corridors). but people are conditioned to expect a shitton because all the major mmos out have been here so long that they have a bunch of them.

when wow was new it had, what, one raid? but that was over a decade ago lol

strikes are dungeons though, you definitely need more than 5 dungeons

I think it speaks to how good the pilot movement is that being in the big robot that also has dashes feels lame by comparison.

Also, personally I think the two weapon limit works for Titanfall 2 because it encourages you to keep moving such that you generally only hold onto a weapon long enough to empty the clip and then grab the next nearby gun. It doesn't work as well with slower paced games.

idk if they changed the SP, but they recently patched the multiplayer to a 3 weapon system and tbh it sucks. I don't like it
