Tenzarin posted:Evolve was fun and did some cool poo poo before other games. Just ignore that it wasn't super fun if your team had a bad trapper or some other important class. Publisher shot themselves in the foot, and turtlerock spent too long making it. They tried charging $100 for what should have been a $20-40 game tops. Fun game but waaaaaay too limited. And setting up asymmetrical matches of 4v1 and having it be balanced proved too hard.

MinibarMatchman posted:Lol at the Best of E3 awards hanging on their wall, that kind of delusion suddenly makes it clear how they hosed up so hard. they need to just let this game go. they had a good idea on paper, they hosed their chances royal, just move on and make something else instead of dragging around this corpse for 2 years The real problem is that turtle rock went off the deep end and spent way way way too much time and money on Evolve. It should have been done like a year or two before they actually released it, they were working on it forever. So then by the time it actually comes out, the publisher goes and creates $100 boxed copies of the game with stupid microtransaction poo poo to try to recoup the costs, but that just pisses off gamers and drives people away from the game, so it bombs and makes even LESS money than it would have.  Now they're still trying to make the game a thing because they're still heavily invested in it and probably can't afford to make another game until they squeeze more money out of evolve first, which may not be possible. Turtle rock may be dead. Valve would probably hire them though. In Training posted:The second they go free to play with lootcrates they're going to make a million billion dollars. Evolve doesn't have any microtransaction content worth putting in lootcrates though. A few painted monster skins aren't enough. They need to add a hat economy to the game. Should have copied TF2 more closely from the start. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Jul 7, 2016 |

MinibarMatchman posted:it was also because the game was loving awful due to any number of factors. The new rules with "everyone gets a dome" are kind of weird and so is the Trapper getting a global radar but I still feel every game will either be 20 minutes of bored chasing or 2 minute beatdowns. I can't help but feel like the game should have been singleplayer, where you just be the monster loving poo poo up. Controlling the huge fuckers was so much fun and they could have used that engine for anything else. Yeah they should have just made a cool full-3D Rampage game instead. Playing as the monster is indeed fun but the 4v1 thing is just never really balanced. Its impossible to matchmake 4 people's skill against 1 person's skill who has an entirely different role. Most matches are either the monster wins by a landslide or the hunters kill him super fast. Its not very often you have a tense, close match and that ruins everything.

Jay Rust posted:Maybe video game titles are just naturally unwieldy. This is something I've been noticing for years, video games have absolutely terrible names. They only work for nerds who are already familiar with the product, which is backwards of how a title should work. It should be easy to understand, descriptive, and exciting. Instead they're almost all massively unwieldy. Seriously what group of drunken chickens masquerading as a marketing team would come up with game titles like "King's Bounty: Armored Princess"? There's so many hilariously terrible game names, even most AAA games have horrible names. The best you get are something that's kinda cryptic but at least simple, like "Halo", although that tells you gently caress-all about it being a sci-fi shooter. But most games are poo poo like "Knights of the old republic" which everybody familiar with it just calls it KOTOR anyways... I think marketing teams in general massively overvalue their brand names. poo poo like "Franchise™ : The Subtitle® 3: Revengeance" are all over the place and sound really bad.

Jay Rust posted:Roman numerals: yay or nay? As far as I'm concerned roman numerals is just a stylized logo. The title is still just the number. MGSV is Metal Gear Solid 5. They're the same thing. Its just two ways of writing it. So to that end, I don't care, roman numerals are cool and for some games they make sense.

MisterBibs posted:As the article says, it could be a cruel joke, but maybe we are eventually getting a L4D3. I know, Valve can't make games with 3 in the title, but who knows? Whats interesting is Starbreeze are working on a Walking Dead game based on Payday which is itself going to be very Left4Dead. Although the fact that we haven't really heard or seen anything about it is troubling.

CrashCat posted:If a one line post is a huge deal I apologize For the 10th time I understand the name. I know how the game ends. Would you stop with your  "when you beat the game like me you'll understand" attitude?I've never said "its 5 not V!" that isn't remotely the point I was ever making. The point is 5 and V are equivalent. Both mean the same thing in this context. You can use either one interchangably, so the name "V" works. How is that so hard to understand? Why do they have to be mutually exclusive in your mind? They don't. Look, I'll spoil tag it so you can stop being so drat coy Its about venom snake who isn't big boss and is instead the paramedic OKAY?

Lunchmeat Larry posted:it isn't meant to represent the Roman numeral V, Peace Walker was MGS5. It's meant to be the letter V. It is a play with language So you're saying MGSV is Metal Gear Solid 6?  Comeon dude its both. But it doesn't really matter and we should talk about anything else.

Oh for sure. It'd be pretty awful of them to do another MGS without Kojima, and he doesn't own the rights and it doesn't sound like they want to sell them to him (and he has new ideas like Death Stranding anyways) Kojima's been saying "I'm done with MGS" for the last 3-4 MGS games so it should just die anyhow. 5 / V was a great send-off for the series.

Jay Rust posted:Does anyone else have this problem? Right now I'm juggling like five different games at the same time, jumping from one to another on a whim, and I probably won't be able to complete any of them as a result I'm so bad I can't even claim I'm juggling like 5 games. I just literally pick different games to play each time I sit down to play games. I'm all over the place. I tend to really like novelty and fresh game mechanics, so I guess constantly hopping around is my way of chasing that dragon.

Lurdiak posted:Turtles in Time SNES remains the single best beat-em-up of all time, scientifically speaking. Agreed, and I've beaten it like 100 times at least. Other goons have tried telling me that other beat em ups are better, but it is king. I only wish it was a little deeper. The only special attack you have hurts you to use. I hate the feeling of that.

LawfulWaffle posted:I cannot believe there is still debate about the greatest side-scrolling beat them up. It's cool to have opinions about personal preferences, but there is one beat them up that towers above all others, and that is Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow of Mystara. I can only imagine that the people who think that other beat them ups are superior simply haven't played the One True Brawler, even though it's recently become more accessible than ever. Saying that Turtles in Time is a better game is low-grade trolling or a symptom of very serious nostalgia. Shadows over Mystara is definitely cool but while TMNT is a little shallow, Shadows is too deep. Playing as characters like the mage can be really weird at times, I almost prefer the perfection of TMNT. Its simple but its drat good. Shadows something about the fights just didn't feel quite as good to me. Shadows is on a tier with other beat em ups like golden axe, great but not quite the best, and maybe trying a few too many different ideas at once.

The game is super shallow, its just a tech demo of pokemon goecaching really. Still fun though, like Zombies' said seeing ekans in your toilet is pretty cool. Real AR games are still 10+ years away, VR is baaaarely mature at this point. But its a cool demo. If Nintendo ever went whole-hog on it they could take over the whole world, but they won't because they're Nintendo. So we'll get a dozen more pokemon clones exactly like the past ones with slightly better graphics on 3DS and a bunch of tech demos on iOS/Android. A true pokemon MMO they could name their price and everybody would pay it. They wouldn't even need to do a new console, cancel NX; just make a pokemon MMO instead. It'd be more profitable by far.

DFO is super cool and underrated, although also gets extremely repetitive. Last I played things were still transitioning to the new ownership company and everything was in flux and beta as it was being remade. Is it pretty stable now?

Its not, its completely inconsequential. Holy poo poo you guys are thick.  Its the same joke channel that did the teddy bear parody guys, comeon. Also Kkrieger is a cool tech demo but the game overall looks like poo poo compared to anything AAA made 10 years ago, much less today. Wamdoodle posted:Which also uses procedural generation. This is sorta true but not really. Kkrieger uses specific algorithms to build its data so it can be so small, but it doesn't have the same "explore around and find different procedurally generated things" gameplay like no man's sky or even minecraft. Everything in kkkrieger is static and specifically placed and will always be the same for everybody who plays it. They just use algorithms so they can roll up the textures as code.

All the new websites are just pure gambling, toss in your gun skins and hope you become the winner randomly) and getting young kids hooked on gambling is going to ruin it for everybody. I just can't see Valve making an exception for CSGOLounge after shutting everybody else down. They're going to say "well, that's gambling too, so sorry".

Level Slide posted:This reminds me, I hope the rumors on the NX having cartridge games are true, and the cartridges are chunky things like the old days. I already have my cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol ready. No way would they do cartridges these days. Waaaaaaay too expensive to manufacture compared to discs. Although Nintendo did invest heavily in a "holographic cube data storage" company awhile back. I still want N to make a console that plays modern games on discs but is able to fit NES and SNES cartridges too for proper backwards compatibility, like we all hoped the "Revolution" was gonna be. ethanol posted:Wow who cares about any of this you can play the games free on your pc btw and you don't even have to buy the power cord separately Ethanol you ignorant slut, look at the post I made on this thing before that one.

I collected a whole ton of games just like a year ago and it barely cost me anything. And there's two dozen posts on craigslist now over the same types of items. Not an option in small towns I guess but its really not that hard to find most NES carts for cheap as gently caress.
