Dias posted:Hey, if you guys have any suggestions for SBFP LPs people should watch and why, please post them here and I'll edit my second post accordingly. I have some ideas but I'll be traveling for Xmas and it might take me a while to properly format stuff. Nier (Liam + Pat), FFX (Matt + Woolie), Ride To Hell (Matt + Pat), Until Dawn (Matt + Pat), MMX Command Mission (Woolie + Liam), A Way Out (Pat + Woolie), any of the Soulsbornes (though should probably go through them chronologically, so 2 > Bloodborne > 3 > 1) (Pat+Woolie with Matt as occasional guest), Evil Within 1 and 2 (Matt + Pat), all of The Walking Dead (Matt + Pat), and the Sadness Saga (Heavy Rain > Indigo Prophecy > Beyond: Two Souls > Woolie's Heavy Rain Stream > Omikron > Detroit > Detroit: 2nd Gig). Those are all my quickest hits, most of it is more recent but it's all still really good. Monathin fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Dec 22, 2018 |

As someone who makes a two hour and change podcast on the regular I have no idea how the gently caress people either create or listen to a 4 hour podcast constantly. It's loving exhausting. My co-host is usually gassed after an hour fourty-five and if we go past like 2 hours and fifteen I start losing it. Matt is absolutely not wrong about how long the podcast takes being insane.

Yeah I'm enjoying Matt's foray into deeper dives, he isn't quite where he needs to be (yet) but honestly I think he's on the way, he's gonna have some bumps and bruises but he's got connections and people who have been at that kind of stuff longer than him who can help him out. It might be worth figuring out what to cut and focus in on and improve, though, I feel like he's got a ton of different angles he's working to find one he can focus on and really enjoy.

Belgian Waffle posted:You're shoving a lot of words into my mouth dude. I never said that it'd be a cure-all. I never said that pre-existing games with established mechanics should incorporate it. I think it's nice and intuitive and that's it. The fireball button actually has inputs mapped to it in DBZ as well. Goku's Kamehameha is literally doing the Hadoken Input + Fireball button, rendering your point moot because it is in fact, a different type of "normal" input. That's the point being made against you here. DBZF is a more simplified fighter but it still has you actually having to do the inputs properly. Also yeah there is a whole sub-part of the game about trying to read what your opponent will do next/what move they're going to try and pull out/the fact that you can't see moves until the 'windup'. Fighting games aren't for everyone but more buttons would make the game more restrictive and harder for people to play, not easier. e: Dabir posted:what you do is you don't make lovely games with too many mechanics Literally the only input 90% of moves in DBFZ use is the QCF so its not like its actually that complicated.

There is actual intelligent debate as to what game mechanics compliment what gamefeel you're going for and various intricacies of how systems can play off each other and whether certain trade-offs are better or worse for overall gamespace, and trying to pin it down to 'subjective experience' is actually pretty reductive and stupid considering that's an entire design space that has several actually quite good books published on it. But go off I guess.

I mean just lol if you think Respawn will ever be able to do anything relsted to Titanfall 3 again either way, theynare now chained to Apex until EA guts them for better or worse,. I've seen a ton of people ignore the fact that this is EA just milking another dev to death after they purposefully buried Titanfall 2. Whether or not Apex keeps those players is a question for another time but it might be the lucky third BR game that can actually sustain itself in this market. Also this was clearly an actual in development Titanfall 3 getting gutted because EA needs that infinite Battle Royale money well Reminder that games as service literally only benefits the corporation, and even then only on the executive level.

HoboTech posted:So other games have done it, it just took a long time, so... it's impossible to do? FFXIV was a do-or-die make-or-break miracle case that not only was never attempted before but literally required making an entirely new MMO in half the time it would take to make one, while at the same time updating the old, busted game at the same time. Not saying a game can't be made better but FFXIV was not only a huge gamble but literally something that could have been disastrous in about five hundred different ways.

Halfcoordinated wrecks the poo poo out of platinum games character action games with one hand better than I can do with both hands. That doesn't mean we hold everyone to Halfcoordinated's level, and in fact, should make it easier for people like Halfcoordinated to play the games they like without herculean loving effort.Oxyclean posted:“Don’t use other people as a shield, now here’s a disabled person who proves /my/ point” "this one specific diasabled person coul beat the game so shut up about your ~virtue signaling~ and get good, scrubs" Mel Mudkiper posted:Like, personally, I still kind of floating around the idea that it is not necessarily unethical to make a game that lacks accessibility as long as the limitation to that access is not fundamentally discriminatory. Of course, that may be impossible. Making a thing less accessible to other groups, by its very nature, is pretty much always discriminatory in some fashion.

Mel Mudkiper posted:The recommended solution is "add an easy mode" which makes sense. However, positing a future system that eliminates the physical hurdle to engaging with a game, is it still fair to expect concessions of a developer for options that do not match their vision? That's sort of the philosophical question I am wrestling with. The answer to your philosophical debate Mel is that literally no finished product exists in the modern day that doesn't have some concession of design or authorial/developer intent. e: This isn't necessarily an inherently good or bad thing, but its a nature of the beast. Rough drafts to final draft to published product, alpha to beta to final build, all of these steps require concession of design or intent along the way to make for a better overall experience for the intended audience.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Well yeah, but I am not arguing so much for "the purity of the product" as much as if it is fair to condemn a game for not making concessions. Its not a question of "IT WILL HURT MIYAZAKIS INTENT!" as much as "is it fair to say 'Go gently caress Yourself Miyazaki' because there is no easy mode" I mean I think that you're engaging in a stark binary here. I think in a day and age where people are trying to be more inclusive no accessibility options (which inude difficulty settings and assist mode) is kind of an extremely fair criticism that should be yelled out as loud and clear as possible. Personally speaking I tell Miyazaki to go gently caress himself because all of the soulsborne games have uniformly garbage dogshit ui, which is where the scales tip from accessibility to "poo poo you should really have ironed out by now"

Mel you are venturing dangerously close to the gigabrain take of "we can't compensate for everything so we should do nothing" also most puzzle games have hints of some sort to assist you. Assit modes for action games for people with reaction time problems is a perfectly servicable compromise. I don't see where you're having an issue here.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Well no, because one is an issue of discrimination and the other isn't Mel I'm gonna blow your loving mind here but let me try and point this out as simply as I can. The idea of "using disabled people as a shield" is near-universally a bad-faith argument meant to undermine someone's actual point. It is literally barely separate from the idea of "virtue signalling", "oh, you don't really care about the disabled, you're just using them as a convenient excuse to want the game to be easier". I'm debating with you in good faith that that's not what you think it is, but the sooner you realize this is how it is used when arguments like this come up, the better off you will be.

I'm not accusing you of it. I'm saying this idea you keep grappling with comes from an inherently bad-faith point people raise in order to undermine people's positions. The amount it matters to the overall discussion when it comes up is very little, and you shouldn't be trying to give it more significance in the grander scheme of the argument. Yes, the quotation marks are meant to be the argument presented when someone is claiming that people are using the disabled as a shield. It's a boiling down of the most common take used alogside such a claim.. somepartsareme raises a good point that you can separate the idea that some people are suddenly caring about accessibility now that they can't beat a game, but it doesn't, unlike the take of someone 'using the disabled as a shield', undermine the actual point in the need for more (and varied) accessibility options. e: my entire argument is that you are making a mountain out of a molehill, you are grappling with a point that literally does not deserve consideration in this discussion, because it is almost always universally brought up by jackasses trying to get an own (see: a bunch of other people in This Very Thread) Monathin fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Apr 3, 2019 |

I will again point out that no commercially available creative endeavor/product survives its "true vision" intact. There are always concessions made for the sake of appealing to the audience you're shooting for, or various things that need to be left on the floor due to time and budget constraints. The idea that any of fromsoft's games are inviolate and untouched in their artistic merit speaks to a wonderful misunderstanding of the basics of design.

Grouchio posted:It's bad to generalize all companies and capitalists as equally terrible; some are better than others at PR. Some CEOs are nobler in views and/or goals than others. It's why we don't poo poo on Platinum like we poo poo on EA. It's almost as if there is a difference between a smaller company that is in fact effectively at the behest of a larger one, and that there's a clear disparity of how much money each company has! Weird, maybe its almost like the companies that put out multi-million-dollar hits every drat year should be held more accountable than a company who almost got ratfucked into bankruptcy because another company wanted to buy them up. gently caress off.

Hell the memetically iconic sequence in DBZ of Goku going Super Saiyan 3 Goku doesn't even win that fight, he used up all his energy that was supposed to be spent bumming around Earth and hanging out for a day in one hour on a big-rear end fight and he didn't even win that fight. Also the spirit bomb and its hilariously long charge time literally never worked except for the time Hercule/Mr. Satan convinced Earth to do Goku a solid and power it up. It's honestly pretty remarkable how often 'number go up' doesn't actually work in DBZ (and obviously numbers aren't even a thing in Dragon Ball proper) so really the entire take is a dumb joke based on people half-remembering it as one of the first anime they ever watched.
