Disc changes were cool, you could talk about JRPGs in terms of “Disc 1”, “Disc 2”, etc
tbh it was way better, because most games were designed at least partially around the structural constraints dictated by a disc swap. it's almost a mandatory act break

You can probably recreate the effect by having a “Would you like to save?” prompt after a climactic scene.
yeah but it's still a design choice in a world where you can just give people 150gb games. in disc games they had to budget disc space and when they realized they were going over their 640mb they had to break out what assets are going to be shared between discs and which are going to be inaccessible on disc 2, and then at that point you have to answer the question of why that thing doesn't exist anymore. most of the time that means the disc change is linked to something really substantial happening in the story

dragon age 1 is good, and tbh I think its better than most of the "classic" bioware games. DA2 is rear end, and DAI is the most forgettable game generated by mankind

in the x files FMV game, if you use the binoculars to look at someone's face close up, or take a picture, they say "what's wrong with you"

they had every actor record that line of dialogue in every location, rather than green-screen a stock animation, so you could do it again and again in new locations and get a new line read from the character

I'm guessing state of decay 2 got patched or something, because it doesn't seem as bad as everyone was making it out to be. its pretty much the same thing as the first game though

the only unreservedly good thing about wildstar is the player housing, which is almost like second life level in terms of how much you can customize your estate. it totally doesn't belong in the kind of game wildstar was pretending tobe

The 7th Guest posted:

the only thing i know about wildstar other than that super vertical tutorial image is that they wanted to sell their combat as being more action-oriented with 'zones' and dash dodging... and then Destiny came out the same year, so no one gave a gently caress about wildstar's combat
I mean its action-oriented relative to other WoW style hotbar MMOs. most of those only have telegraphs for really big attacks, and most attacks aren't dodgable at all, pretty much everything in wildstar gets telegraphed which is cool until you see it in action and the ground looks like rainbow puke. + a huge emphasis on interrupts, iirc there's a whole system where some mobs have interrupt armor that requires like 3 people in your party to simultaneously use interrupts to successfully block a cast which is "actiony" by the most lol of definitions

the new fortnite mode is kinda cool, its like battle royale CTF. there's 4 jewels that spawn on the outside of the circle and 4 vans near the inside, and to win you just have to bring one to the other, but its still battle royale so there's 96 other players watching you do this and setting up ambushes and stuff

its a little different cause bad undertale people don't break into your game and yell at you in real time because you're playing it wrong
