After playing and enjoying the fuck out of Freedom Wars I got really into Lost Planet 2 after I've been told that it was similar. It's kinda sad that I can't play it with other people and all, but it's still a ton of fun. I don't know why so many people hate it.
Also, this train cannon level was fucking amazing to do solo. It was hectic and tense as fuck.

You certainly do. You just choose to spend your precious free time differently, which is totally fine. If you feel alienated because your friends are spending theirs with playing games, watching LPs isn't gonna help at all. If you're interested in it, ask your friends if they can help you get into it. Playing games together is always a lot more fun. If you're not interested, just accept that it isn't for you and try to get your friends to talk about stuff you care about or just take your lumps. Hell, I'm the complete reverse. I love talking to my friends about games, art and science, but as soon as the conversation veers to the latest gossip and who's fucking who now, I completely punch out.
All that said, if you want to watch LPs because you genuinely enjoy them, that's totally cool. We've got an entire thread for that stuff:>>190608

Funny because Lords of Shadow was an attempt to move things in the direction of a film like style, I agree with you though, I think Julius would be a cool way of doing it.

Like everyone knows the cycle even if they don't know the games, Dracula is killed and comes back, narrate a "Belmont's killing Dracula through out history" sequence and get across things like the Vampire Killer.

Then have it lead into the story of the man who would change it all, Julius.

Then you can toy with expectations and how much of a Dandy he is, plus his story has never been told and he's reasonably modern, leaving room for Soma as sequel material.

There was a bit of a translation kerfuffle involving NIS and their financial status vis a vis the sales of Disgaea 5. It turned out to not be much in the end but the comment that interested me is that the producer says their target sales number is 150k. 150k.

I don't like that idea, because I think if there were a Castlevania movie, the hero must be Simon. Plus I think Julius's story doesn't really need to be told, I think the fact that it's left to the imagination makes it cooler. And yeah, the reason Castlevania would work is that everyone knows about the Dracula cycle, and Dracula in general. Plus there'd be a SHITLOAD of sequel material for different time period settings. I actually typed up my own vision, which admittedly takes some liberties.

>1st movie: Take the plot of Dracula's Curse and replace Trevor with Simon, Trevor changed to being Simon's father. The movie mainly establishes the Belmont clan and does a lot of what the original Dracula novel did in having everyone in the real world, specifically the church react to the demons and vampires spreading up everywhere. Simon, Grant, Sypha, and Alucard who's also established and introduced here.
>2nd movie, starring Richter. The plots of Rondo and SotN can be combined here to include Alucard, though the plot is still mostly Rondo, and having Maria be a teenager. Ending would reference the original Dracula novel, since it's public domain and part of the canon.
>3rd movie: Based on Portrait of Ruin, including references to Quincey Morris's diaries from the Dracula novel and removing Eric Lecarde.
>4th movie: Based on Lament of Innocence as a prequel.
>5th movie: Based on Aria of Sorrow, probably taking a few elements from Dawn as well, and set in the U.S. as opposed to Japan. This would end the series.

But hey fuck that its time to trudge around on the surface doing nothing special UNLESS I WAS IN CO-OP which I wasn't. Fucking hell locking off places in the game with that kinda gate.

I knew it was bad the second I saw a ladder.

Ladders in Dead Space 3 literally meant the people making the game had no idea what game it was.

Ladders don't exist in the first two games for a reason, ladders in space don't make sense for a lot of reasons which is why they only had lifts.

If you can't grasp the concept of HOW PEOPLE GET FROM POINT A TO B IN YOUR GAME YOU HAVE FUCKED UP IN THE MOST SPECTACULAR WAY POSSIBLE.

Ladders mean the FRAMEWORK the game was built on is wrong.

Plus, they blew their load, they InFamous 2'd the ending, it's over, World's eaten, everyone is a big dumb ball of dead people planet, you literally have to reboot the entire universe or completely ignore the game's ending like Second Son did.

A FUCK THE DESIGNS, Why is everything in Dead Space 3 stolen from Lost Planet? The previous suits are incredibly iconic, nothing else looks like them....so you got rid of them for fucking FUR-LINED GENERIC SPACE MARINE COSTUMES?

THE SUITS LET YOU BE IN SPACE, WHY IN FUCK WOULD YOU NEED FUR INSULATION ON A SPACE SUIT, IT PROTECTS YOU FROM ABSOLUTE ZERO, -40 IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT GODDAMN IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE.

In think Dead Space Lost Planet is literally one of the worst games ever made because it destroys such a fantastic universe so thoroughly and completely, usually you need a couple of failed games to do that to a successful franchise, this one slam dunked it.

Got Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning™ from the Steam sale and I'm really enjoying my time with it so far. It's basically an Elder Scrolls game with somewhat less freedom but way better combat and none of the jankiness. It doesn't really solve many of the big problems of those, but I love how they're addressing one of it when NPCs in some fetch quest go "Wait, aren't you the Queen of the Fae? Why are you wasting your time with this menial fucking shit?"

Whoops, didn't see you there thread, and my deletion password isn't working. Oh well, mailed Anonex.

So I recently got around to playing Skyrim since my friend has it on his account and ours are linked. I kind of like it but two big things jump out:
1. Holy fuck this game is busted. Like, worse than Morrowind, Oblivion, or either Fallout. I had bosses not spawn and dead enemies jam in geometry, restricting me from quest relevant loot.
2. I know that viking rpg isn't exactly a commonly treaded ground and it is better than Oblivion but the setting is just... with Morrowind it's so crazy you could swap swords, bows, and magic for sabers, blasters, and the Force and call it a Star Wars planet. Since it's not weird I can't be hooked much into reading most books or even talking to people. I didn't care about the main quest and did the mages for mechanical reasons, but the one quest I was hooked into, the civil war, is also apparently the most broken line in the game.

It's kind of cool but god I wish Bethesda would hook that much larger Oblivion/Skyrim audience in for a much weirder setting and story like Morrowind had with 6.

>Around 18 months ago, during an informal chat with an extremely well-placed individual in the hardware manufacturing business, an interesting nugget of information dropped into the conversation - Nintendo was already accepting pitches from third parties on the hardware make-up of its successor for Wii U. Two names were mentioned: AMD and Imagination Technologies, creators of the PowerVR mobile graphics tech. With the lack of backing sources, that little aside never made it to print, but as Nintendo strives to bounce back from the Wii U sales disappointment, eyes inevitably turn towards future platforms.

I remember a rumour going around that chip makers were being tendered for some unspecified "console hardware". The tenderer being Nintendo seems obvious in retrospect. It feels like Nintendo is repeating the same moves Sega made after the ker-splat the Saturn made - it might not have turned out well for Sega, but it was the only move they could have made if they wanted to stay in the console business, and it honestly should have worked, it was only dumb stupid luck that they didn't.

The gap between the Saturn and the Dreamcast was just four years, so 2016 seems about the right time frame for this machine to show up. Importantly, Nintendo has two advantages that Sega didn't: the first is their lucrative handheld business that's already seen them through one dry spell, and the second is that there's no massive launch looming over the horizon waiting to steal their thunder - both Sony and Nintendo are settling into looooong development cycles, and it's likely they'll be wrapping up their current systems around the time Nintendo are wrapping up their NEXT system. The big danger I foresee is mobile gaming making the whole console market redundant, but that eventuality is still a hell of a lot of years out.

Remember Me wanted to be Arkham Asylum so bad it could taste it, but lacked the polish and environmental design that makes Arkham work. It also made a really big mistake in that while the combat system wasn't bad as such (although it was never Arkham's equal), you spend so much of the game without real options so you have to just do the same combos over and over again. The first few chapters were exercises in pure tedium. It really soured a lot of players to the combat altogether, a feeling which lasted well after they had unlocked more combo options and the gameplay opened up somewhat.


So yeah, I doubt the female protagonist was the only reason it didn't do well in sales. However, I doubt it helped it, and I really can believe the developers when they say that publishers wanted them to change her to a more dudebro-palatable version.

People have been saying it's the former. According to Japanese players, it's said (explained or implied, I don't know) that the Shadow you face in that game is just a Shadow clone and not the authentic one. I wonder if this holds true to the US version now.

Well there's your problem. You're thinking of the "Full Product" as "everything that the programmers have made related to this particular game." You think that you are entitled to their entire output because you bought the base product, which doesn't include all those things.

Why do you need every monster? Why do you need every hunter? Are you really going to play all of those bits of content? Or are you just bitching because you think you deserve those pieces of content whether you play them or not?

You are upset because you think you deserve everything related to this game for a lower price than it actually costs to buy those things. You have two choices here: either don't buy the things that you don't think are worth the price, or buy them. Bitching about it just gives the people who think that gamers are entitled babies more reason to believe it's true.

Yes, cutting a game into pieces and selling them seperately at a markup is totally a business model we should encourage! Criticism of the industry is Entitlement(tm)! Every game should switch to the TCG model of selling content, disagreement makes you an Entitled(tm) baby! Criticism is evil and Entitled(tm)! Entitlement(tm)!

People who know nothing about videogames shouldn't post about videogames. Most videogames aren't TCGs. Most videogames shouldn't be priced like TCGs.

Why do you need every level in a platformer? Why do you need every character in a fighting game? Why do you need every weapon in an FPS? Why do you need every car in a racing game? Let's divide up every game into smaller parts so that the full set of options is guaranteed to surpass the current 'regular' price of a game! Of course, the price for the base game stays the same because we poor publishers are literally starving! You're stealing the bread out of our mouths you Entitled(tm) whiny crybabies! You Anti-Fans(tm) are killing our developers with your Hate Campaigns(tm)!

Unfortunately for your argument, that's not what's happening. They are delivering you a full game that can be played from beginning to end, and you are crying because you can't use a specific character to do it, or can't explore a bonus dungeon. They haven't split the game into pieces, they have added additional pieces you can play for a higher price. Now obviously you're going to argue that it still counts as splitting the game into pieces because they made the bonus content at the same time as the actual content, and saying that it's all a single product justifies your outrage.

But it is absolute nonsense that only makes sense to bratty video game fans--no one dealing with real world products would ever say that making an action figure and the car that goes with it at the same time means you're entitled to the car when you buy the action figure.

Stop making dumb comparisons to physical products with non-analogous business models. Video games are not action figure, and video games that arent Hearthstone are not TCGs. A better comparison would be a movie with eight different releases, each of which having different scenes in them, and you had to buy all right to see the entire movie.

More like "[negative event] consistently happens to [group] over and over again, from multiple unrelated groups, and pretty much any time someone unaffiliated with [group] becomes aware of them, they have the same reaction."

Like the logic you're using here is "The fact that everyone thinks the Ku Klux Klan is racist is no reason for the Ku Klux Klan to take a look at its own behavior and ask 'why do people keep thinking we're racist?'" Sometimes if everyone has the same bad reaction to you, you have to start asking if maybe you're the problem.

Except that no one else cares about gamers complaining about the industry's business practices. Don't conflate this with the political issues.

Only the worst cases enter mainstream news because mainstream news don't care about gaming. Mainstream news don't care when companies call gamers thieves for taking advantage of the free market, openly lie to their customers, blame the customers for anti-customer features or failures on the company's part or generally try to deflect criticism by outright mocking or insulting their audience. Stop selectively ignoring the facts. Inform yourself.

>Mass Effect 3

That one actually did go overboard.
Of course, people who know that mainstream news don't cover all of gaming also know that there is a core of truth to the ME3 criticism instead of using it as a strawman to discard any and all negative reaction (i.e. what you are doing).
It's also telling when people commenting on the ME3 shitstorm opened with something along the lines of "I didn't play the game" before attacking the people who did and disliked it, as if that already implies wanting to "kill videogames as an artform".

After beating Super Meat Boy, fully, I think I've decided that I don't like intentionally hard games. I feel like Mario is the only series that has ever properly been "Nintendo hard" without sacrificing fun, because it feels more naturally hard. The levels just happens to be difficult, it's not like the designers said "And this part will surely kill the player and make him start over!"

If I've died 30 times in the same level, something is wrong with the game itself, not me. Because at that point, I'm not having fun anymore, I'm playing just to beat it and get it off my chest. I don't feel satisfaction or accomplishment when I finally beat it, I feel exhausted. And then I groan when I realize how many more I have to go which are probably just as hard, if not harder.

Call me a casual if you want, and I've never played DMC or Souls, but that's just me.

The problem with Super Meat Boy though is that even if I learn, and have gone through the level a hundred times, it's still extremely difficult to get through it. Tiresome. If I have nothing left to learn from repeated deaths, the only thing left to gain is frustration. Which is perfectly fine until it happens 50 times in a row. Because with this game, you have to be pitch-perfect with your jumps, momentum, timing, everything. Most other games give you options on how to pass obstacles, but here there's only one way and absolutely no room for human error.

It's hard though, because this may prevent me from enjoying legitimately great games without their names on it (Kirby Canvas Curse or Return to Dream Land) or includes really shitty games that actually DID have their involvement (Skyward Sword, Other M)

So it's weird but Revelations is now the actual resident Evil games and THEY ARE DEFINITELY WORTH IT, both versions of Revelations are very good but I'm a PC game so I'd go with HD but that's just me.

Like seriously, some of the claims people have been passing around about TotalBiscuit as a result are absolutely insane (that he beats his wife because of a funny Sims vid where they were obviously fucking around, that he's a racist who supports police brutality because he stood up for MiracleOfSound in some spat about racism, that he's some Randian anarchocapitalist who hates the poor because of some out-of-context statements about Jim Sterling's patreon, and so on).

He's a twat, but I personally would not go that far. I mean, I like some of the guy's content, but he definitely has some issues regarding image management.

Well Dying Light seems like a wait for a sale title. Since while it does include some Far Cry style mechanics it doesn't seem as expansive and engulfing as those titles.

It's been going that way for a while now. It's why Nintendo released so many 3DS variations over the years. Mobile gaming has made its impact and sales in the U.S. and Europe lag behind Japan's.

You can say the same about Far Cry, they were just rushing through it, by my guess the game has 48 hours plus of actual missions which are all worth doing because the writing on the side missions is great, it's so fucking massive I haven't even seen the second section of the world and I'm still finding shit I've never seen before.

I've been playing it for a solid 2 days, I was done with Far Cry 3 and 4 by this point.

While I'm not quite this extreme, i do have it in my head that I think a series should have ended with a certain installment. I don't like shit that goes on forever, so I think if it were me, I'd say "Ok, this is the last game, let's move on now".

I can see where you're coming from but yeah, you'll miss out on a lot of great games going about it that way, and you'll still play some shitty ones on occasion. Looking at who actually worked on a game can give you insight about why it turned out the way it did, but if a game is good then go ahead and enjoy it. I don't know if your way of looking at things is autistic, but it does seem very arbitrary.

Something may not seem as "official" or "true" without the original creator's involvement, but it can still be really good and enjoyed for what it is. I mean, is the only Batman stuff you like by Bob Kane?

Holy SHIT it's a neverending barrage of missions and UFOs. After a gauntlet of like 3-4 heavy missions in a row I had a day with 3-4 more missions that I had to pass up because I simply did not have the troops ready for it. A single day. I actually had to bitch out of a TERROR MISSION because I had nobody to send on it above the rank of Sergeant, and when I got there I was immediately pressed in on one side by Cryssalids and by seekers and mechtoids on the other. Mind you, the country it was in was fucked anyway, and the whole rest of the continent had already dropped out of the project, so the consequences for bailing on it weren't huge...but still, holy shit.

Does that 70/60% go to Nintendo or the video uploader? I mean I assume it's towards Nintendo but still.

And do we know what games are eligible for this?

>Does that 70/60% go to Nintendo or the video uploader? And do we know what games are eligible for this?

Here's a clearer explanation.

>Nintendo says that YouTube users can earn 70 percent for registered channels or 60 percent for individual videos. In other words, you’d be licensing Nintendo’s content for 30 or 40 percent of the ad revenue. And the company says it can "arbitrarily" change these rates at any time.

>Additionally, payouts can take up to two months via Paypal. In other words, Nintendo doesn’t pay you until it is paid by YouTube advertisers.

>Nintendo has an extensive, but not complete, list of its software eligible for this program available. Missing from the list are major titles like Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/01/29/nintendo-still-wants-a-cut-of-your-youtube-revenue.aspx

Like him or not, PewDiePie he makes a great point here.

>First off all, they have every right to do this and any other developer / publisher have as well. There’d be no “let’s play” without the game to play. And we (YouTubers) are humble to this fact.

>But what they are missing out on completely is the free exposure and publicity that they get from YouTube / YouTubers. What better way to sell / market a game, than from watching someone else (that you like) playing it and enjoying themselves?

>This is why a tiny one man indie game like Minecraft could grow into a 2.5 billion dollar deal. That’s 2.5 billion… Made possible, largely because of the exposure it got from YouTube!

...

>I also think this is a slap in the face to the YouTube channels that does focus on Nintendo game exclusively. The people who have helped and showed passion for Nintendo’s community are the ones left in the dirt the most.

>And finally, when there’s just so many games out there to play. Nintendo games just went to the bottom of that list. Even if more publishers starts implementing this idea of sharing revenue. Then fine, there’s always going to be plenty of games out there, ready to become the next “Mienkraft” - Sounds cheesy, but it’s true.

...

>Added note: I’ll still play Nintendo games that I want to play on my channel as usual. I’m lucky to be in a situation where losing ad revenue on a few videos wont matter. However, many people on YouTube are not in that situation.

>Everyone loses in this scenario that Nintendo has created, that’s why I’m against it.

Also, I wanted Alien: Isolation to win some awards. I Wasn't surprised to see Goat Simulator on the bad awards, though.
