Good morning, fellow goons. Can you believe it's Friday already? Because I can't! Finally started case 3 in Justice for All last night. People tell me it's the worst case in the game, but it's gonna be hard to top the beginning case of the game in awful (memory loss is a pretty contrived way to set up a tutorial; would've preferred something like "a father brings his kid to court and explains what Phoenix is doing").

The really awkward thing about the Godfather games is how they got a bunch of the actors from the movies to do voices and likeness rights so their characters could look right. Except Al Pacino said he wanted nothing to do with it, so you have an all star cast and then just some rando as Michael. Also fun was the PC version of the first one had copy protection where if you pirated it you couldn't get out of a car. So the thread was full of posts from people going "what's the button to get out of the car? Nothing seems to work."

The thing I remember about APB was that there was a goon who worked on it and for some reason he kept lying to people about it in the thread. Stuff like he would claim that it was F2P which is only true in a technical sense as you could do the dress up part free but not actually PLAY the game. Also there was that whole thing about the review embargo where the publisher tried to tell publications that they weren't supposed to put out reviews until something like a week after release.

The original release of APB was a magnificent and beautiful mess. Didn't they try and get away with a pay-per-hour subscription scheme inspired by Korean internet cafes or something? When a new form of monetization (expansion packs, DLC, free-to-play...) comes to wider attention, there are so many wildly ambitious, yet flailingly clumsy attempts to implement it before the industry as a whole seems to agree on something that both works and pisses off the least people. The rise of DLC last generation, for example, saw things like The Godfather locking weapon upgrade options behind DLC, and Horse Armor in Oblivion...

Palpek posted:I love anti-piracy ideas like these. The invincible scorpion enemy from Serious Sam 3, Dragon Quest 5 starting boat never making it to land, one of the Talos Principle's elevators locking the pirate inside. Game Dev Tycoon has the best meta option where at some point the pirate is informed that too many people are pirating the developed game and the in-game studio then goes bankrupt fast. Like how the third person shooter Ghostbusters turned one of the easiest enemies in the game invincible.

CrashCat posted:Had to be something else, because I played that lump of poo poo and I assure you I never paid anyone Like was mentioned earlier, they went with a weird system where you didn't pay by the month but you would buy chunks of hours instead. Which seems like a good way to lose money if your game isn't very good.

To this date APB still has the best character creator tool ever made. You can do crazy amounts of personalization with that game. However the driving and shooting suck and that's kinda huge. Ruins the whole thing.

The only thing I remember about APB Reloaded is that they didn't have any servers near my country, meaning driving was effectively impossible due to 300ms lag on all controls.

ABP had a really neat vector-based logo creator. That is the beginning and end of the nice things I have to say about that game. Also lol, I forgot about monster w 21 faces shilling the game until the moment he got fired, when their entire $120million game got shitcanned for making barely 1% back in the months after release.

I've been waiting all my life for a director to make a fully first-person film (enter the void came close) so I can't fault Hardcore Henry for trying what it did, and parts of it were really incredible. The stunt work was fantastic, and people really looked like they were getting beat up and stabbed and shot. However unfortunately the technical side of it just wasn't up to par, which made the whole thing way less enjoyable than I was hoping. Not only did the camera shake way too much when they should have tried to keep it more stable (even possibly should have used post-production image stabilization!) but the biggest problem was the focus, there's just no easy way to handle the focus in that kind of situation, so its constantly going in and out of being blurry and that kinda ruined the whole thing.  Still glad they tried though, and looking forward to camera technology improving so somebody else can give it another shot. Maybe not as an action movie but as a drama or something.

The original Friday the 13th used first-person perspective MurderVision(tm) as a way to hide the identity of the murderer which led to every murder scene being "oh hey how's it going Person I Will Not Nameurrggahhgg I have been impaled by a ski pole!"
