Zaphod42 posted:I think the ideal TES game would be more like Warren Spector's "one city block" idea, an immersive sim where you have a city with a ton of NPCs with complex lives and questlines that feed back into each other. Ah yes- the ideal game is super-dense, very tight scope, and every facet is highly-polished. This is almost certainly not an original opinion but I vastly prefer a focused, carefully-directed experience to a huge map of algorithmically-generated completion symbols.

OhFunny posted:Alien Isolation 2 is not a game I would expect the Walt Disney Corporation to publish. You probably mean more like "Why would Disney decide to publish an Alien game instead of any of its other IP?" but just in case, Alien is a Fox property and Disney owns Fox. Which is to say, if anyone is going to publish an Alien game, it is required to be Disney because they own it.

TES specifically is a epic high fantasy game, scope and travel are part of the fantasy. Making it a Warren Spector's Rhetorical Neighborhood game would be basically a different thing entirely. TESVI would benefit from having fantastical things to find while exploring and interesting systems to engage with, something Oblivion and Skyrim largely fail at.

Yeah this is kind of the thing that I don't like in open-world games. Xenoblade and BotW feel like the entire map was made by hand, but almost every single other game (Assassins Creed, Fallout, Death Stranding, MGS5, Just Cause, RDR, Elder Scrolls) all feel like the maps were made with map-gen software first and then they just put buildings on it

But yeah, I think Skyrim trying to be miles wide is what ends up making it feel so bland and generic. Although it also gives room for modders to put poo poo in, and does deliver on the "adventure" feel of travelling.

They really need to have more unique items in those games. If they do it like fallout 4 and go with the legendary added effects it will be terrible. It's amazing to me that it seems so obvious that these big open World games should have cool hidden stuff to find, but nearly all of them completely fail at doing so.

Even in the craziest games of the last few years I cannot remember the last time I found something in a video game and said "holy poo poo I can't believe I found this." Even in like, Nier, there's no crazy insane secrets. It was probably Xenoblade X, honestly, which I have mentioned in every post so far but seriously I think that is the best open-world game of all time. Games just don't seem to have poo poo like "breed chocobos for three hours to reach a secret cave to get Knights of the 9" anymore

Also the follow ball or whatever it was called is such a good navigation tool has any other game done anything like it?

Oh no I think that's a big part of it. The ability to jump up angles WAY past what normal games let you is 100% part of the fun, and I think one of the big design influences behind BOTW's "climb anything" mechanic. I love how the game is divided into danger zones that give the game a very structured progression, but if you're creative its totally possible to ignore it and creep into high-level zones and grab some great loot early, and even see some story spoilers before attention is brought to them. But yeah, you run at such a good speed (like, BOTW sprinting but slightly faster except also all the time, no stamina bar) and also giving you zones that you can see from foot but can't access until you get the mech feels SO cool. Like, you've been seeing that clifftop all game but have never been able to get up there, and now you finally do an-WHAT THE gently caress IS THAT

The sequel to an old favorite is coming out next month, so maybe I should effortpost about it? When the previews for Resident Evil VILLAGE were dropping, I was always asking "Is there any new Mia information", and I'm not doing that ironically because the main reason I want to play this new one is to see the continuation of the Ethan and Mia story. I legitimately think Mia is a great character even if she's a terrible person. Maybe even because she's a terrible person? (Maybe I identify with the lovely characters having to fight for survival, I was on Team Emily in Until Dawn). Ethan and Mia is one of the best portrayals of married life in games because it's two people doubling down on a toxic codependent relationship, the perfect engine for drama. Spoilers for RE7 Biohazard Literalizing relationship drama by having Mia chainsaw off Ethan's hand and then Ethan cleaves Mia with an axe but they're both fine because of The Fungus. Ethan completely oblivious and blase to Mia lying about her double life working for the evil megacorp bioweapons group, and actually him being blase about everything that goes on in the game and not in the cool action guy way, which owns. And most of all, the game presenting you with a Binary Choice where choosing to save the wife with a double life that caused all these problems and has been lying to you, over the victimized Zoe who saved your life and has done nothing but tell you the truth and help you, is the canon happy ending choice because the other one gets them both killed, that owns Which is all to say that I have to play VILLAGE to see if Chris really did make a heel turn by killing Mia, because that would make him irredeemable

I knew about that cave and knights of the round before the game had been translated, I knew Nier has more than it seemed before I played it. But without those prior oruces Nier for example would have completely blown me away. Games that made me go "I can't believe I found this" with genuine surprises, were games that I stared playing on the day they came out (The Witness, and Frog Fractions Game of the Decade Edition With Hop's Iconic Cap for example).

Rinkles posted:Any specific recommendations for the steam sale? Yakuza Zero is at 75%, Kiwami 1 and 2 are at 50% off. Other games in the series have smaller discounts. Dragon's Dogma is 70% off. Vanquish and Bayonetta come in a bundle at 78% off. Okami HD is 50% off. Metal Gear Rising is 75% off. Sonic Generations is 75% off. Dead Rising 1, 2 and 2: Off the Record are 70% off. Dragonball Xenoverse 1 and 2 are 85% off if you want to play an MMO where you are a saiyan. For some reason Downwell is 67% off, and Darkest Dungeon: Ancestral Edition is 76% off. If you enjoy retro games, Classic arcade beat-em-up collection Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is 67% off. Mega Man Legacy Collection is 60% off, and Legacy Collection 2 is 50% off. Both Mega Man X Collections are also 50% off, although I would advise against buying the second one as it collects some wretched games. And finally the Zero/ZX collection is 34% off and collects 4 very good games and 2 ZX games. The Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Contra Anniversary Collection are 75% off. Sonic Mania and its DLC are 75% off. The Christian Whitehead Sonic CD port is 75% off as well. The Disney Afternoon Collection, which collects a bunch of Disney-licensed Capcom platformers from the NES (and adds save states and a rewind button) is 67% off. Ducktales Remastered is 75% off, although I think the Steam version has some significant bugs for people with Nvidia cards. The PC port of the original FF7 is 50% off. Crazy Taxi is 85% off.

God Eater 3 is 80% off which is nuts but also I don't really like that series at all so not even for 13$ am I getting it If I didn't have Dead Rising 1/2 already I'd deffo get those, those are great games. 1 has a LOT of AI-related jank though The Cyber Sleuth duology is only 15$ which is about the right price for those games. If you play the game on hard though it's literally the worst-balanced JRPG since the SNES though so be warned. Vesperia for 10$ is a great deal, people love Berseria but I couldn't get into it. .hack for 7$ is great but the games apparently brain-dead easy. World of Final Fantasy is kinda alright, I beat it last year. Bug Fables 13$ is great, hear great things about that game. Disgaea 1/2/5 great deals, don't bother with 3/4. Zanki Zero is like, the bastard child of the Spike Chunsoft library but full of really neat ideas and 12$ is a good price. 18$ is a little pricey for Caligula Effect, but I really liked the game despite it being kinda short.

"Set in the virtual reality world of Mobius, the story of Caligula follows nine men and women that aim to return to the real world. It is a “next generation juvenile RPG” that focuses on modern pathology and trauma. Its title, “Caligula,” refers to wanting to see things we’re not allowed to see, or doing things we’re not allowed to do." https://www.gematsu.com/2016/02/furyu-announces-caligula-ps-vita
