You people must not have office jobs because Funko Pop figures line every cubicle, desk, and shelf. They're bumper stickers for the office: tell everyone in the workplace you like a thing they may or may not have heard of with this valueless tchotchke. e: They are at least less offensive than bumper stickers. I would rather pass a million dead eyed dolls than another "abortion is murder" or a quote from historic racists. al-azad fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Jul 3, 2018 |

Hey man, sometimes you're desperate for any kind of human contact after staring at a computer screen for 8 hours. If Office Space is ever remade it will be sponsored by Funko.

Wonder Boy/Adventure Island makes a lot more sense when you look at it as the prototype for endless runners. The idea came along when the devs were run over by a Ghosts n' Goblins machine on a skateboard then played SMB in the hospital for weeks.

Taintrunner posted:gently caress me I played Neverwinter Nights for the first time (Enhanced Edition) and drat I could see myself losing a lot of hours to that game, as someone who loved the OG Dungeon Siege game. Underdark is the best one but the original NWN is a pretty cool Diablo clone with hacked up 3e rules which means broken poo poo like multi-class paladin/sorcerer so you get that charisma bonus to saves and still have full casting. The traps scale so frustratingly high that you want to keep search maxed so you know what chests/areas to avoid.

NOLF hasn't aged well, being released in a post Half Life world where people hadn't figured out how to balance shooting and storytelling, but it's characters and world building are still leagues ahead of every other FPS even now. And it sucks there will never be another one when people have learned how to make singleplayer FPS games fun again. Contract JACK ditched everything and made it a straight shooter but that game is baaaaaaaaaaaaad. I have the script for NOLF3 right here it says "20 years later it's the 80s and Kate and her ninja wife Isako must stop a plot that will end the cold war in nuclear winter *joy division blares over the speakers*"

my hot takeaways: A) Don't vent in public to thousands of people. Smoke weed and watch anime. B) Companies that fire over the smallest transgression show how disposable the workforce is and is more evidence for the unionization of labor and scrutiny of multi-million dollar companies who readily throw their employees under the bus but bury sexual harassment allegations especially against executives who hold all the power C) If you like a video game so much you revolve your life around it, love the people who make it. If you're feeling upset smoke weed and watch anime. D) Legalize weed This has been a message from Internet Buddha.

chumbler posted:That is the unfortunate reality of capitalist America. Your social media is monitored when you're in consideration for hiring and monitored while you're an employee. It's poo poo, and the only way out is a mass exodus from social media or legislative action that bars it from being valid (fat chance of that, particularly with at will employment). It works both ways though. Watching the drama unfold as people at alt-right rallies throwing sieg heils are fired from their jobs because no business wants to be associated with literal Nazis was beautiful.

In Training posted:Big fan of the fake PSX adventure game they put in Danganronpa 2. I've always pined for psx aesthetic indie treasures. I'm hoping we get a revival of that look in the next decade It's a fun homage to Twilight Syndrome, a series of PS1 horror games (some directed by Suda51) by Clock Tower devs which spun off into another company Spike then merged with Chunsoft. The PS1 low-poly with pixel art texture styles is definitely becoming a thing as goobers like me who think Mega Man Legends is the best aesthetic are making games.

Macaluso posted:Tacoma was excellent, I can understand it’s not a game that’s gonna be a huge seller though. I feel like that’s a pretty respectable number though, but I have no idea what the game cost to make. PC games have a longer tail than console games. At the end of March the dude was saying he had less than 3,000 sales or so but that number has tripled since. Granted he's still in the quadruple digits, but no indie console game would see a steady and appreciable growth over 5 months.

The problem with Earthworm Jim is everyone played the inferior SNES version instead of the Genesis version. If a game wasn't designed specifically for SNES it was plagued with horrible aspect ratio and bad music made up of generic library samples.The White Dragon posted:isn't it considered poor form to cite other games by name in your catch copy and preview text

The Shortest Path posted:As much as I like games with a stealth component I really hate situations where the game heavily punishes you for killing dudes while also having a whole bunch of interesting ways to kill dudes that you aren't allowed to ever use if you want to play the game well. Agree on Metal Gear Solid in general, a series that gives you more guns than most FPS games, but really disagree on MGSV. The initial urge is to fulton everything and everyone but once you hit the cap you realize common soldiers are garbage and the only ones that matter are the mission unique ones and the unique ones with special abilities tied to every mission. MGSV is a game made easier and IMO a lot more fun when you turn the safety off and wreak havoc. And unlike past games the scoring system doesn't really penalize you for kills, it only cares about stealth and time. It was really liberating to finally S an MGS game while leaving a trail of bodies behind me.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Ah, I got you. In MGSV the missions tell you about unique soldiers in their description and they're the only ones worth picking up. Their abilities are required for specialized equipment and their specialty triples their output. By the time the game has enemies with even a B in one area you will be at max capacity from higher ranking soldiers picked up from prisoners, real time missions, and take-out-the-leader missions.

In Training posted:Killing people definitely carries a score penalty in MGSV but if your fast enough the time bonus so far outstrips that penalty it doesn't matter. I don't know how the scoring works precisely but the game rewards skillful shots or something so if you headshot everyone or take them out when they're not looking the reward outstrips the penalty. I also don't think the kill penalty stacks unless they were alerted when you killed them.

I didn't play the sequel but the first Darksiders was slaked my thirst for a good 3D Zelda, a long wait from 2006 when Twilight Princess released until A Link Between Worlds which was 2013 I believe? I hope it's like The Last Guardian where it drops out of nowhere and is far more polished than video would have you believe.

Anachronox is also a game whose gameplay does itself a great disservice. Both games have genuinely great world building and I celebrate them for looking unlike anything else that came out in that time. Project Eden was another neat weird sci-fi game of a pre-9/11 world, a squad based shooter/puzzle game with a squad of POC and a disabled lady fused to a hulking Robocop body.

Because "review the game at the first credits screen" is taking me back to '97.tap my mountain posted:Are there any games made by a solo dev that are good? It seems like 2 is the magic number. You'll have to define some restrictions because even "solo" devs get assistance, just like very few manga (at least the syndicated stuff) are truly solo works.

Anyone who reviewed RE2 without beating both paths for both characters should've quit their jobs.occamsnailfile posted:I loved Super Metroid a lot as a kid, and Symphony of the Night, but I would say that (for all my criticism) I liked Hollow Knight better. Just, Super Metroid and SOTN were both pretty new experiences for me, and for a lot of us--it's hard to top your first experience with a genre. There are a lot of games I remember liking as a kid that I just have no patience for now. I like QoL improvements, I am glad devs no longer feel chained to the arcade model of having "lives" for the most part (Mario!!! Lives in Mario haven't really been a roadblock since SMB3. Odyssey does away with them completely.

Relax Or DIE posted:Does Eternal Darkness actually hold up? I haven't touched it since it came out. It's still good. I think making it chapter based and wiping the slate clean each chapter was an incredibly smart decision because they can fine tune the pacing without cheating the player. Some chapters are more combat oriented, others more atmospheric and puzzly so when you get bored of fighting the game immediately switches gears to doing hexcrank puzzles then back to fighting.
