Honestly I would like Obsidian to make something liked TWD and Wolf Among Us, not all games need to have standard combat.

Honestly I find the QTE combat in TWD and Wolf a lot more exciting than a bunch of convoluted D&D-esque mechanics could ever be. QTEs are usually like the nadir of good game design but Telltale actually did them right for the most part.

Yeah Chapters is looking really good already, its taking a page from the newer adventure games like Telltale's or KRZ and making their own twist on it. The whole having your character explain the dialogue options for you thing makes me kind of baffled that it was never even considered for a game before, it looks like it will add a lot of nice characterization too.

Butt Ghost posted:That doesn't sound like too terrible a loss. What has Silicon Knights even made? Eternal Darkness is a classic, and while I like Twin Snakes, apparently it has a negative reaction from other MGS fans. Too Human wasn't that great, plus it was in development forever. And that X-Men game is supposed to be terrible. Of the four games I know of from them, only one actually received a positive reaction, and I have no idea how it sold. Their dumbest mistake was ever leaving Nintendo because they were the only thing keeping them from being godawful.

odiv posted:That's how the Veronica Mars Kickstarter worked, wasn't it? Also here's a good project that's video game related, the creators of Wakfu are running a Kickstarter for an English dub of the cartoon and a Blu-Ray release of the first season. I have no desire to play the source material, an MMO, but the cartoon is quite good, especially the first season.

I just preordered the game months back and I'd say I got my money's worth on Part 1 alone. But yeah, I'd say that only preorder if you're absolutely sure you'll like it and you'll play it when it first comes out; otherwise its a lot smarter to wait. Though in the case of Kickstarters they need the money to even exist in the first place, unlike plain pre-orders usually.

Really you would think people would know by now that you really need to hit the ground running and release everything you have in the first few days which are essential. Holding on to stuff just screws you over and it just makes you look like you have no idea what you're doing.

Broken Age is only half done currently, but its really drat good. Kentucky Route Zero is similar. I wasn't a fan but people really like Faster Than Light too. I also liked Giana Sisters, up until it got really bullshit towards the end. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 05:14 on May 14, 2014 |

They actually put up a Steam page for it a few weeks back and I as all like "The premise of this game sounds pretty cool", then I saw who's developing it and all my interest died instantly. What a waste of a cool premise for a game. I wish someone like the KRZ guys or Fullbright thought of this instead.

Dreamfall Chapters originally was planned to be episodic for years when it was under Funcom, (Hence the title) but they tried making a whole game for the Kickstarter, so it really isn't a big deal at all. And yeah episodic works, while Episode 3 took a while KRZ is fantastic and Telltale's games are great too.

I hope if he does it isn't just Castlevania with the names filed off like Mighty No. 9 is to Mega Man. I'd love a new Metroidvania, because I think the recent indie ones aren't as good as both Metroid and Castlevania, but I want it to be its own thing.

I'm betting that Star Citizen will end up like the Ouya, it actually gets released but it blows, but it just kind of whimpers and fades away instead of being a glorious trainwreck.

Just as a heads up Unrest, the story-driven RPG set in a fantasy world ancient India is out. I played the demo some time ago and I liked it and my buddy on Steam gifted it to me so I'll see how it ends up.

Honestly I'm no game designer but I'm sure if they were smart Star Citizen would have been out already, even if it was bare-bones at first. Because then they could use the amount of money that rivals the GDP of some countries they collected to just fund new content updates every couple of months in order to keep the game alive because that's the most important thing for an MMO, to keep an active player base. But what I do know, I'm not Chris Roberts.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Well at least they are being honest. How many games have honestly had your decisions matter to the story and not just change around names/location orders/add a little dialogue? Just off the top of my head: Witcher 2 has a different middle section with completely different locations, characters, and quests, so that's one. But I can't think of any others offhand.

MOBA is already kind of becoming kind of a nebulous buzzword though, i.e. they called the new Legacy of Kain, Nosgoth, a MOBA but its a team-based arena FPS.
