My gaming friends are my real friends
No, I actually did know what it was. I was called a troll when I told people what it was during the fever pitch hype levels. Ironically the roles reversed when I saw this dude being mercilessly trashed by the same exact people that called me a troll for pointing out the same exact things people were pissed about lol.
The 2nd trailer was the exact same as the first reveal trailer. It was blatantly obvious and it's clear people's hype clouded their vision and I alrea...
Yes. Let the hate flow through you. It's sour Saturday after all.
He caught a bad beat, I hope with their next game they employ better marketing. People with common sense could see what the game was after the 2nd trailer but common sense isn't so common anymore. The "play it to find out" marketing doesn't work on this dumber generation of folks.
"My fellow enthusiast, Steve Clist, wrote about how games with customizable characters bypassed diversity instead of discussing it head on"
This is why no developer should take these people seriously. Make games for your fans, make games you want to play. Don't aim to appease these morons. You can't win, it's a lost cause. If you make an outstanding Puerto Rican character the outrage culture will shift to some other pointless social revolution.
Thumbnail is a cutie but I'm not watching anyone play overwatch, sorry. The stream culture still amazes me, it's popularity is beyond understanding.
Soma is actually pretty good. The atmospheric storytelling was amazing but a common theme occurs in these games with great stories, there is no (to very little) gameplay. Soma is a hide and seek game. Is the game better because it doesn't have any combat? I don't think so. Does a great story push the
Medium forward? Absolutely not.
I wasn't specifically talking about combat or this game. I was talking about gameplay in general. What I got out of this was "less gameplay is pushing the medium forward", it sounds like an oxymoron.
Even if you tell a great story in your game that is immersive and all that, are you really pushing the medium forward when you sacrifice gameplay to tell that story? I would have to say no but you can disagree if you want.
I don't have a pe...
If you're trying to make a game based solely on story and you don't want any gameplay mechanics distracting players from the story then that's fine. I'm talking about these people pretending that it's pushing the medium forward because it's obviously not, it's going backwards actually.
Yes, exactly. Levine is easily my favorite game writer it's not even close. That speech you mention "narrative legos" is exactly what I'm talking about. It blew my mind when I watched it. That kind of thinking and ambition is what will push the medium forward. I can't wait for ghost story games first game with the dynamic narrative. Easily my most anticipated unannounced game.
The hatred for DLC, particularly the "loot box" stuff in games like shadows of war is irrational and ignorant. Pure seething hatred for no reason, like it's just an extension of their deep seeded hatred of capitalism in general.
It's a great game and I will probably buy this again. It's a shame that the sales didn't meet capcoms standards in the west. Hopefully this does well so we can get a proper sequel.
I want this on my phone so bad.
That's different though. Dynamic storytelling where the story actually changes and revolves around your actions will push the medium forward and it can only be done in games. That's revolutionary next level stuff and the only thing that even comes close is the nemesis system in shadows of mordor. It's very rare at this point because it is insanely difficult to do.
Let's be honest though, that's not what this is. Having 2 lines of dialogue to play if you ...
Hellblade may be great but don't pretend like reducing gameplay is pushing the medium forward. How backwards and ignorant do you have to be to say something like that? If you want superior storytelling then read a book.
I'm not going to buy any of the microtransactions though.. I actually play my games. You're the sheep, a hipster blind following the hate wagon without even knowing what the MT are...
BTW, are you UCForce under a new name? You have the same speech patterns lol..
What does that even mean? Care to clarify what I'm buying into? Do you even know what you're talking about or do you just throw around buzzwords?
Only women could go shopping for 3 hours and not buy anything but a pretzel.
I don't understand this lol. A transgender is somebody in the process of transitioning their gender, right? If you want to make a character in your likeness and you are a male transitioning into a female, why wouldn't you just create a female?
Yeah we have talked about this before. We can both watch some high level fighting game tournaments occasionally but we're not following the individuals on twitch and watching it all day. Looking for trophy tips or some kind of guide is one thing but watching people randomly play games all day long and act like fools to stand out from their fellow streamers? The popularity is confusing for sure lol.
