Its surprising how well these came out in 3D compared to even The Simpsons where it's like "how the gently caress do we model Lisa's hair and not look weird?"

Capcom must've built Maximo Army of Zin on Devil May Cry's engine because he has the same moveset and can hulk out into Death.

This first game is still good as much as I dislike Ratchet's abrasive personality. It's also strange how weighty the game feels considering nearly every 3D platformer is about weighty, agile characters. Ratchet feels like he weighs 500lbs but it's okay because the game is more focused on action than precision.

I understand why Sega doesn’t want (or need to) waste the money onEnglish dialog but playing Yakuza for the first time in 2015 was a majestic experience for how poorly -yet sincerely - localized it is.

Weird, Cosmic Star Heroine was listed on PSN for $0 last night and I bought it, have it downloaded on my PS4, and apparently this has happened before  I guess I'll play it before Sony revokes it from my account.

Endorph posted:wild arms 3 has some of the best presentation of this stuff ive seen, the game doesnt start the opening animation and stuff until you actually load a save and if you save and quit it plays an ending animation, and after each major story arc the opening and ending change, so its like watching three seasons of an anime or something, really does a good job delineating parts of the story And just like a good anime it's thrilling... until the last episode.

Metal Slader Glory is certainly the most impressive looking Famicom game but the dialog is painfully slow. Princess Tomato was smart enough to make dialog near instantaneous.

The first Metal Gear has this great moment where Big Boss turns evil and starts directing you via codec to restart the game and run directly into pits. I wish they carried that over to MGS2 with the AI deliberately lying. At least MGS had the great torture scene and sure enough I gave up because I hadn’t saved since the ninja fight and replaying would mean Psycho, backtracking to get sniper, and fighting Wolf.

FirstAidKite posted:Yeah but we're talking like super basic mechanics here like jumping and spindashing. It's like that one reviewer who spent a ton of time on the cuphead tutorial because he couldn't grasp that he had to press 2 buttons at once or whatever it was. The great irony of classic Sonic is by design it wants you to take your time but everything about the game tells you to go fast. So if you duck down to spin dash while also holding forward Sonic will do a little spin until his momentum stops. But this spin lets you carry momentum while breaking through blocks so the whole higher level play is balancing Sonic's forward momentum.

Healbot posted:It's not ironic having a balance of going fast and taking it slow lmao It is because Sega of America wanted you to believe there's no slowing down. The first blurb on the back of the box is even SUPER SPEED. And SoA probably drives the entire vision for Sonic if not in the past then certainly now. Sonic was never advertised for his speed in Japan, he's more of a smug rear end in a top hat who exudes confidence. The back of that box translates as "Screw the ordinary. I know what's important, so yeah, I'm pretty drat confidant."

Jay Rust posted:You know what I’ve come to dislike? 16- and 32-bit-era JRPG castles Wild Arms strangely had the best castles. Dragon Quest as a series in general tends to have the worst. Like why is this friendly castle that’s not a dungeon have to be a pain in the rear end to navigate with maze-like passages and going from the roof to the balcony through the dungeons as the only way to access the kitchen? I tend to prefer castles as dungeons but my faith wavered in Tales of Destiny’s castle that has this awful zodiac puzzle out of nowhere.

I see Polygon finally got rid of their bizarre review process where the reviewer submits it to the editors who assign an arbitrary score based on how well the reviewer sold it to them. Then again Polygon has reviewed like 10 games total in the past year. They've basically become an opinion page which is fine but Gamasutra offers a better environment for professionals and Medium offers a better environment for outsiders.

I wish ZoE 2 had more urban combat because that's what attracted me to the first game. There's a level where you have to minimize damage to your surroundings and you get loud screams when you toss enemies into buildings, and damage is permanent so when you backtrack to those areas you can see what areas got hit the hardest.

The Colonel posted:https://twitter.com/MOOMANiBE/status/1037885601297588224 The nature of memes is is that the context can get lost completely. I literally had no idea what "did you just assume my..." or "apache attack helicopter" was a reference to until the thing with CDP because I've seen bastardized version far more than the original in context. I would give them the benefit of doubt because they responded immediately and without a half-hearted non apology.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: What form does the puff puff take in DQXI? McDragon posted:I started firing up the PS4 to download Spider-Man, and realised I just can't be hosed with how slow the PSN is any more. So I ordered a physical copy. It'll arrive tomorrow but probably still faster than a download would be. I'm going back to discs for the PS4 I think. Put the PS4 in standby. Downloads occur at realistic speed that way. Endorph posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sgerdGijF4 Clearly the staff at Nintendo are now skewing younger so someone who probably had nostalgia of Mario Party N64 is like "why the gently caress do we keep making this gimmicky bullshit game even more gimmicky and bullshit?"
