VideoGames posted:This generation could have been so different if instead of spending $2 billion to buy Minecraft, microsoft had used just a quarter of that on 6 attempts at finding a new game for themselves. while I agree MS could have done A LOT more in terms of exclusives and didn't do enough to ensure success for what they tried to do (Phantom Dust, Scalebound) Microsoft is still making a lot of money from the Minecraft deal so it was still good for them Is the XBOX1/X as profitable as the PS4? No, but it's still profitable for them everywhere except Nippon. Sony is just way more focused/interested in console gaming than Microsoft and owns studios like Naughty Dog/Santa Monica/etc that have had years to perfect their craft. Xbox is a good system but in terms of exclusive games, only Sony has the madmen who want to make Spiderman games, hire Hideo Kojima, and fund Bloodborne. At the end of the day it's all business but yeah Sony is just far more interesting in the console space.

recently had to stop playing Bayonetta because it's kind of rough after playing Bayo2 4 years ago. These platformer/QTE elements guarantee my rank takes a nosedive whenever they crop up and the combat just doesn't feel as smooth. Somebody mentioned the first game is also smothered in a piss filter compared to the bright color variance in Bayo2 and I have to agree. I figured I'd try Bayo1 for the first time since I had just bought the Switch 2-in-1 but man I'd rather just skip to the 2nd one now, it improves basically everything.

Not a Children posted:Remember that Bayonetta came out when people were still heavily cribbing from noted GameCube masterpiece Resident Evil 4, so the QuickTime events felt a little less ridic at the time the QTEs in RE4 were at least generous. Bayonetta's never felt like they worked half the time, were too quick, and worst of all affected your ranking in what is a heavily score-based game. Wonder when RE4 will make its way to the Switch so we can have the all-time definitive handheld+motion control option version.

Holy poo poo that loving sucks for Pinball Arcade, I've put so much time into it. This basically kills the game. Guess I better make sure I have all the essential poo poo before it gets delisted. Guess this is why it got taken off Switch so fast. I was looking forward to having it portable but looks like that's never gonna happen.

XB1 def hosed up and got curbstomped at that one fateful E3 with the used games/online only poo poo plus the PS4 being 100 dollars less. What sunk them even further was the complete dearth of 1st party exclusives while Sony continues to pump out masterpiece-level poo poo on a yearly basis. Even when they had a potential killer app, a Hideki Kamiya game that was like DMC with Dragons, they killed it and figured "gently caress it, lean on Minecraft on PUBG" but even that doesn't really pay off when you can play Minecraft everywhere and PUBG runs like dogshit on your monster 4k system

Nintendo being so uppity and secretive about poo poo until it's like 3 or 4 months from release is sometimes very cool. I remember MHXX getting a "no nothing" response from Nintendo/Capcom for ages and now even before E3 they just decided "yo whatup it drops in like 3 months PEACE" which is refreshing compared to "yeah we're working on Days Gone/FF7 Remake/Kingdom Hearts, stay tuned guys until 20XX"

if you're interested in in-depth dev poo poo then the NoClip series that Danny O'Dwyer does might be your poo poo. He did some excellent ones on Rocket League, DOOM, Witcher 3, Horizon, and so on. The development of DOOM was great because all the guys who worked on that game totally "get" it. The Rocket League one was hilarious for how 11th hour so much of it was and then they stumbled into pure gold.

Steve2911 posted:jfc gaming is dead. blops and stupid calla duty games were around even before pubg took storm and they'll be here long after. It has never stopped great poo poo like the Witchers, Dishonoreds, and Nintendo games of the world from being made. I'm fine with dumb moron poo poo like PUBG or Elder Scrolls Infinite existing if they are part of a larger company that uses the monies to crank out other poo poo. That's kind of what Nintendo is doing with their mobile games, and also likely what Bethesda has done forever: utilize the Fallout/Elder Scrolls/DOOM games profits to hold the other studios making games like Prey/Evil Within afloat.

RAGE 2 looks promising, like "Borderlands with 100% better gunplay, Mad Max with 100% better everything" but since it's Avalanche and their stock is kind of low I'm holding my expectations. Maybe Bethesda's Doom people will help with polishing this up and giving it the push it needs to be great.

Real hurthling! posted:Shawn laydon from sony was asking at psx last year if people would prefer to hear about games when they were closer to release and people like greg miller the panel host said yes so now we wont probably see anything new at sonys e3 until 2019 cause they got so much poo poo backed up thats already known releasing in the next 18-24 months. I def prefer how Nintendo does things by saying hey look at all this poo poo coming out in 4 months or less. Sony doing that this year would be weird but I still like big "wtf" announcements being made even if they are not out for 7 to 8 months. The RE7 reveal a few years back worked not only from shock value but also because there was "a demo out now" and the release was 7 months out, which wasn't as bad as "hey this is out in 2 fucken years" like the release cycle for Horizon.

David Cage must have been so pissed when Until Dawn came out and poo poo all over everything he's ever done. I was hoping Detroit would mimic the sense of urgency that the "Kara" tech demo had but I feel like Quantic Dream just doesn't have the ability to be subtle about anything

Jay Rust posted:Something interesting is Witcher 3's main story is about 50 hours but doing side quests can bump it up to 100, whereas (according to howlongtobeat.com) Persona 5's main story is 100 hours but 110 with the side content. Yeah same, I love P5 but a LOT of the game is spent skipping through days or watching story scenes, or doing side stuff like Tartarus Subway. I haven't even beaten it yet, I let it languish when I got to the Casino lol. Someday I'll beat it.

I owned every Nintendo system except Gamecube, but now I have a Gamecube with some games so I figured I'd play catchup. Right now I'm playing through Thousand Year Door, which is also my first paper Mario ever--I heard this one is the best one? Anyway I also have XMen Legends 2, Baiten Katos, Skies of Arcadia, Soul Caliber 2, and Bloody Roar--is there anything else worth playing that I can't play elsewhere?

Help Im Alive posted:From what I've read it kind of sounds like Silicon Knights wasn't a very good dev without Nintendo helping them out yeah everything I've read regarding their postmortem says that Nintendo had a firm hand on the pulse of that studio for ED. After that, they crumbled when they tried to do the XMen game. Reminds me of how Retro was strangled by Nintendo for a while and that's how they learned to do poo poo like Metroid Prime with a degree of tact. Speaking of which---do the Prime games hold up? Should I bother playing the first Prime?

speaking of trailers, anyone remember LMNO, the Spielberg alien woman project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT35UsSYqS8 It got cancelled by EA after a year but the funny thing was, a pre-Harvey Smith Arkane Studios was hours away from accepting a deal to work on it before they said no, in a kind of epic foresight.

I've never ever been good at megaman games and I think I've beaten no more than maybe 1 maverick per game but yesterday I beat Overdrive Ostrich and Wheel Gator in X2! Took 20 years to make this much progress in any Megaman lol. I also got the leg upgrades so maybe I have a chance to actually do good in this one.

Cosplay can be annoying as gently caress if a bigass mask or visor is part of the costume. Doing a Soldier 76 outfit was torture since condensation built up so much on the visor that I couldn't see poo poo after 2 hours.

Skypie posted:This seems ripe for trolling horny dorks at a con by a dude Tracer leaning over with his butt up, like those videos from years ago when guys would put on yoga pants and lean into a car trunk. LOL this almost makes me want to do Tracer but idk if Overwatch is the popular "thing" still. Two years ago it was white hot so quite a few people were at Comic Con as the characters. Last year I did Joker from P5 and maybe only 5 people knew who I was. I wonder if GOW or Monster Hunter will be a big costume thing this year.

The Colonel posted:capcom's always been a company with talented devs and barely functional management and over the last few decades a lot of that talent splintered off into new companies like platinum and inti creates. i wouldn't be surprised if the street fighter 30th team was understaffed, underqualified for what they were doing, rushed by management who didn't really care about the quality of the final release or a mix of all three Capcom has nowhere near the amount of insane devs and ideasmen that were on hand way back in the early 2000s. Think back to poo poo like Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4, Okami, Devil May Cry, Killer7---who made those games? Guys like Shinji Mikami, Suda51, and Hideki Kamiya. All 3 of them left to found Platinum/Grasshopper/Tango and basically work with people like Nintendo, NIS, and Bethesda. A lot of what made Capcom so nuts was the presence of those guys who were part of Clover and Little Devils. Now all those guys make poo poo on their own. This doesn't completely explain why the fighting game division is so loving bad, though; you can blame a bad marketing team, dev teams that took shortcuts, and overall sloppy laziness/willingness to farm out ports for that. MVCI is bad on its own for those reasons but SFV is a whole nother story of mixed nuts depending on who you ask. It was funny though when Inafune was called out by Kamiya as "a businessman, not a developer" because Kamiya is def the complete opposite: a guy who stumbles on mechanics by wonderful accidents and got a job initially because he drew level designs on paper. It's kind of crazy how much he contributed to Capcom, especially when his mentor was Mikami and was given chances even after RE2 had to be partially scrapped and rebuilt.
