Can you drive cars in Yakuza? That's a big part of all the open world city games and pretty much necessitates having several square miles available

Just off the top of my head, 2 FFXVI DLC packs (one out now), The Finals got released, Monster Hunter Wild in 2025, a new procedural exploration game from Hello Games, a Blade game from Arkane, a Jurassic Park game, a roguelike mode for God of War Ragnarok Jay Rust posted:Specifically, did any weird kid crash the stage?

The Game Awards is still mad that they let Christopher Judge talk for nearly 8 minutes last year So they set the play-off timer to 30 seconds to troll him (admittedly this was pretty funny) but then forgot to raise it back to normal for everyone else

F2P games came about once hosting and distribution became free (or at least paid for by facebook/apple/sony/microsoft/valve rather than you) and the infrastructure appeared to support making very small digital payments so you could plan a business model around an infinite number of copies of your game in the field and very low ARPU

Volte posted:Were Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword even that good? I didn't play either of them, but I never hear them discussed with the reverence of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or Wind Waker. My impression was that they hit all the expected notes, added some new gimmicky Wii stuff to the gameplay, but were basically just more iterations on the same old formula going back to Link to the Past. I don't really blame them for wanting to move on honestly. If they keep iterating on Breath of the Wild without changing very much then it'll get stale quick, not unlike the old formula was starting to. I do want to see some classic dungeon design though. Elden Ring style "legacy dungeons" where you're unlocking progression items and finding keys within a self-contained dungeon would be a good addition to the open world. Pretty much. Twilight Princess is the most straightforward Ocarina rip, it has all the expected things and a pretty generic fantasy art style. It also didn't have a ton of Wii gimmicks, because it had to support the GameCube controller too. There was nothing really wrong with it, but it wasn't as good as Ocarina itself and less imaginative than Wind Waker Skyward Sword went hard on the Wii gimmicks, to the point that they actively held it back (even the second-generation Wii MotionPlus couldn't reliably read your sword-swinging intent unless you made a pretty unnatural gesture). It deviated further from the formula and had a more radical structure, where you revisited areas as they changed and evolved, and had a sort of primitive version of TOTK's sky world serving as the hub. It also made a bunch of dumb avoidable mistakes that had nothing to do with the formula or wii- a tedious companion, a boss fight you have to do 3 times with minor variations, that sort of thing

Lisztless posted:The tedious companion brings to mind one of my axes to grind with Zelda since at least Ocarina of Time, and it's only exponentially worse as time wears on: these characters (especially run of the mill townsfolk) really need to either get a LOT more personality in their monologues, or stop being so dang verbose It wasn't just Fi, the entire game had too many words in too many popups *catches a bug* You caught a bug! [A] You can sell it to a guy or use it to make potions! [A] But your inventory is full, so let's put it back. [A] And there was a (software) bug that made it forget you had already seen this sequence every time you relaunched the game Feldegast42 posted:(the time stones in the desert area were The bit where you put a time stone on a boat and it lets you sail across the desert because the time stone turns the desert into water for a 10-yard radius around you is one of my favorite parts of any Zelda.

BOTW is one of the only games that has ever given me the feeling that I was exploring a truly untracked wilderness and finding ancient mysteries that no one had seen in hundreds or thousands of years if ever. It successfully suspended by disbelief and I forgot that all the things I was finding were hand-placed in a map editor by some anonymous guy at NintendoRamie posted:Outer Wilds is just as good as everyone said it is, I'm finding out. I really want to say stuff but I won't and will just affirm that the ending of the game both explains and lives up to everything you are experiencing

Volte posted:even climbing fuckin towers to unlock pieces of the map, something that people will unthinkingly dunk on Ubisoft games for, even the ones that don't have that mechanic. The difference is that when you climb a tower in an Ubisoft game, there is a brief cutscene and then a dozen icons spontaneously sprout on your map all by themselves. The icons are a passive reward for having completed the challenge, which was climbing the tower, and the map is effectively a non-diegetic to-do list that just updated itself. It's Ubisoft breaking into the game to give you instructions. Whereas in BOTW, when you climb the tower, all it hands to you is a new perspective*. It's on you to interactively make discoveries and add icons to the map, using your own curiosity and observation tools. It's a customized itinerary plan that you're more invested in because everything in it was your choice and your creation. The icons are an answer you have given to the question the game posed of, so you managed to get up there, now what are you going to do with it? Climbing the tower was not an end in and of itself. Some of the icons you placed might not even be anything interesting, just a weird looking hillock, but no one told you to go there other than setting the general bounds and rules of the world. To me this really was a much more engaging and fundamentally different process from most open-world tower climbs *I think there was actually a button or something you pressed at the top of the tower to acknowledge that you had climbed it, I played it in the launch period so this was a while ago
