Dragon's Dogma has the best combat system in any action RPG ever but it was probably for the best to exercise their new engine with other poo poo. I just really hope they can apply that combat to a game world that's interesting because the characters/overworld/story of DDogma were brain numbing

Tales of Woe posted:Deep Down and WiLD definitely exist and weren't just made up to sell people on PS4 before it had good games holy poo poo I forgot about WiLD. I feel so loving bad for Michel Ancel, his entire career is just poo poo that gets cancelled or takes decades to come out. I'm not even convinced BG+E2 will come out for another 4 to 5 years.

EA should say gently caress it and just have this new idiot battle royale be the moneymaker while they reinvest into Dead Space. There was recently an Ars Technica "war stories" video on the making of Dead Space that is excellent, and it's now the highest-viewed vid on the channel at 3 million views. I think the audience is there for it, especially with how well RE2 is doing. Here's the vid btw because it owns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ3iqq49Ew8

I see a bunch of reviews dropping for Metro/Crackdown/Far Cry and they look kind of middling, seems like a dead month for poo poo until Sekiro/DMCV explodes in. I'm probably wrong on Metro though since I have zero experience in the previous games.

Anthem early reviews are trickling in but I'm taking them with as much face value as the Destiny ones. Maybe I'm just getting old but I can't fathom another one of these "repeat unfun mission 100 times to grind for mats to make a gun, repeat ad infinitum." The flying controls for Anthem should be given to a Platinum or Sega game though because flying and moving around is killer.

if they wanted a game that was iconic then why did they go the Destiny route of naming things such generic bullshit i.e. the Darkness, The Fallen,The Conclave, The Butthole, etc. I loving hate the console MMO trend now of just using the most plain-rear end names for your world. Warframe might be the one that eschews this but only because Warframe's lore and naming is lunatic-levels of sci-fi babble.

I loved persona 5 but will admit the style/soundtrack is overall greater than the sum of the game's parts. if the music was trash in P4 I think it'd be remembered as a shittier game.

The Colonel posted:persona 5 was undermined by the director's view that all women should be "cute" leading to one of the worst character redesigns in video game history which character is that? Harrow posted:I'd say that the combat and dungeons in Persona 5 rise to a level pretty far above mediocre and there's a lot of good there, though it's definitely a game whose actual story lets down (and even actively undermines) the ideas it appears to be trying to convey. yeah the dungeons are so much better than the boring labyrinths of P4 that are godawful. same with the quality of life improvements in P5. I could never go back to that old poo poo again.

Harrow posted:There really is a lot about Anthem that is legitimately excellent, and just about all of it is found in the combat system (especially the ability, gear, and class design). It's just that everything else about the game is a total mess, and sometimes in ways that don't seem all that fixable (like, things where it's clear this engine wasn't meant to be used for this kind of game, like how the "free play" open world stuff is actually matchmade with a small number of players and not done with seamless phasing like The Division and Destiny). this sounds a lot like how myself and others would say "the gunplay in Destiny feels great in spite of so much other bullshit" which makes me wish games like that had just been given a single player campaign with more focus like DOOM 2016 The demo was odd because poo poo was so dark I legit never got a good look at the enemies who were firing at me. They were just shapes firing off lazers.

exquisite tea posted:Anthem looks like it's gonna get critically savaged and not even in a "flawed but shows promise" way like Destiny or The Division. I didn't expect so many indifferent, largely fatigued reviews about it so far but I guess people are burnt out from so much bullshit Destiny put them through that there's gonna be little to no patience for another game that goes through the infinite loop of "gently caress up a thing, fix a thing, gently caress up again, fix a thing again" in a console MMO

Relax Or DIE posted:Cold take here but I just started Spiderman and moving around in the game is a blast. There's probably a good effortpost about how movement in action games overall maybe kinda sucks but it's too much to unpack for a phone post. Insomniac really nailed it with that game, it's awesome how so many things are done with only a few buttons and you can have fun with all the tools and combinations they give you. The swinging isn't exactly the same kind of physics as Spiderman 2 but I've had way more fun with how this game does it, especially how context sensitive it is to collisions--you just keep going and running along buildings.

I actually hope Epic Games takes off a little even in the face of lovely gamers getting pissy that some of their games won't be on Steam's platform. The payout to devs on the EG platform seems friendlier.

Jay Rust posted:What makes them alt-right anyway if anything they were just weirdo religious libertarians who hated the gubberment. Far Cry 4 was eons better in terms of characters, story, and the equipment you earn. Most of Far Cry 5's weaponry you don't even get til extremely late, as opposed to FC4's crazy stuff you can earn yourself. I loved that Robocop's gun was in that game. The Wingsuit was also more fun in FC4, mainly because there are actual loving cliffs and vistas to launch off. FC5 is full of flat plains, you can't do poo poo from them.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:Almost every time I hear someone bouncing off HK it seemed to stem from thinking being lost for a lot or most of the game was a bad thing. Which is fine in itself, but when that same complaint comes from people who enjoy Metroidvanias prior to HK it feels a little strange. What is it about HK is that much different other than just being so big? I never liked them enough before HK to call myself a fan of the genre, but it turned around for me with something that was built on the best ideas of everything before it and adding in Dark Souls flavor that I could go back and appreciate the pieces of inspiration on their own. being lost wasn't my issue but lack of fast travel points and the trekking through the same routes definitely was. exploration is fun but sometimes I got fatigued going back and forth in some places. tbh this is the same problem I have with Souls games so it's really just my personal gripe. Sometimes I want to explore more in those games but when I have other stuff to do or get tired of playing I'd like having more shortcuts/savepoints. Help Im Alive posted:I wish they gave you some of the movement abilities in HK a little sooner because it doesn't feel that good until you've got a few of them yeah this too, early on it's not as fun until you get the dash and other abilities

I said come in! posted:My small circle of friends that play Destiny 2 are super hyped for the game. But these are diehard Destiny 2 fans that love this type of game, and since by all accounts Bungie is abandoning Destiny, this is the next game to go over to along with Division 2. Yeah I know people like this but I feel like I can't invest my time in any MMO thing anymore, just too much time invested into something that doesn't really give back much to the grindfest for poo poo loot in the same 10 Strikes. The replay value for stuff like RE2 or Devil May Cry just seem more alluring since I can play those in bursts and actually have fun doing it. So much of the console MMO shooters force you to do unfun poo poo which is a big problem. When a game feels like a fuckin job I'm out.

Bioware and Bethesda Softworks fizzling out after both of their poo poo-tier MMO games hit a new low for their respective studios would just be a course correction imo. For years I've heard "well nobody else can make Dragon Age/Mass Effect/Fallout-esque experiences so we're stuck with these messy games" and now not only are the games getting worse but this statement is no longer true with stuff like Cyberpunk 2077, Apex Legends, and The Outer Worlds coming into prominence. I really think Fallout 76 was the extinction-level fuckup that showed developers you can't be too big to fall and now with Anthem it's even more true.
