the bright side of the x collection is that x7 and x8 are actual ports so this is legit gonna be the easiest way to play them on pc if those ports are functional, considering the old pc port of x7 is korea-only and x8's port is like a mid 2000s one so it's kind of a gamble whether it'll even work

but yeah if you have to buy one of them just buy vol 1 lmao


also i'd like to say that for anyone with a console who's interested in 20xx, that game uh has a really good feel, it nails the controls of mega man zero and zx, but its procgen is loving garbage and only illustrates how much its core concept of a procgen mega man is literally impossible to do in a way that's actually fun or interesting so the game isn't fun for more than like ten hours and then it just gets boring and repetitive and playing it will only serve to remind you that you could just be playing zero 2-4 instead

X6 is better than X5 and X3. Low bar I know, but it's true.

x3 sucks but i'm not sure how you look at the level design in x6 and call it better

they gave x a z-saber and then made it feel like poo poo!

I would probably buy a Megaman Zero Collection that had a larger screen canvas or something.

And also save states because Zero 1 is a loving pain in the rear end without those.

zero collection should just have an infinite lives cheat for zero 1 imo

i don't know why that game has such a pointlessly punishing lives system

The stages in X6 (excluding Blaze Heatnix) at least generally tried to do something, which is more than can be said of X3.

x3's stages are a clusterfuck of garbage, x6's stages are a clusterfuck of gimmicky garbage

mega man zero 3 and 4 are the pinnacle of mega man game design and it'd be cool to get versions with slightly bigger fields of view

Has Arkane ever had a game sell well on release? They do some good work but I think most people became enamored with Dishonored and Prey once they were already on deep discount.

my brother told me about dishonored way before it came out and we both ended up playing it on release. good game

GUI posted:

afaik 3 people were involved in writing DOTO which is bizarre and one of them was brought in solely because they used to write Dishonored fanfiction.

good third party aaa titles are mostly dead and most big third party western publishers don't see making a greater number of cheaper games as an alternative worth bothering with despite it being something other corners of the market have found plenty of success doing

so now we have the new beyond good & evil 2, a game distinguishing itself from the original beyond good & evil and the original scrapped bge2 by being nothing anyone who liked bge1 wanted from bge2

It's in the publishers' best interests that production costs remain high so that it increases the barriers to entry for competition and the likelihood that any fledgling studio will need to sign on with them for distribution.

Have they even shown anything about that game aside from the gently caress-monkey trailer? Like, do we know what the game is actually going to be?

after the first trailer, michel ancel said it would be a wide open space sandbox rpg where you start from scratch on a random planet and you can build yourself up from a janitor to having a full pirate crew and also it's a prequel story that might have some bge1 things in it

and then at e3 2018 they showed a trailer with pey'j and jade in it so that people who actually wanted something vaguely related to the first game would care and then joseph gordon-levitt walked on stage and said "hello Content Creators. make things for our game and then we'll pay you if we use them" and then every independent artist who has a vague concept of what spec work is vomited in disgust

i still hate it because no matter where bge2 goes at this point they've completely loving tainted it trying out a business practice that's already lovely enough in other fields and didn't need to be introduced to loving aaa game development

nendoroids actually look nice and have a bunch of different expressions and lots of little doodads that you can pose them with, they own

Macaluso posted:

It's really amazing how they managed to get me to go "I'm interested in that!" with what little the showed of the game, and then immediately just tanked it into the ground with the announcement of the fan created stuff. On top of annoucning that, they didn't mention monitization at all.

And then later when they were like "okay you're right we didn't talk about it, here's the deal" it turned out to be exactly what everyone thought. Ubisoft you are too big of a company to pull that poo poo

the best part is that if it's successful then that'll establish a precedent for other aaa western pubs to take advantage of which will only make the already lovely situation with working in game development actively shittier for everyone except the publishers

so. i'm probably not going to buy another ubisoft game now
