exquisite tea posted:I think it's a pretty creative approach since before an hour ago absolutely nobody on earth was expecting Mario X-Com. The thing is that Mario X-Com? Cool idea. I'm into that. There's just not really a reason they couldn't have kept it more in line with the things Mario does instead of just slapping a laser cannon on his arm and calling it a day. That's what's uncreative, I think--"it's Mario but he has a laser gun" is less interesting to me than finding a way to take classic Mario abilities like shells, hammers, jumping, etc. and working that into Mario X-Com. Super Mario RPG back on the SNES faced a similar decision--does Mario use a sword, shield, and magic, or does Mario use classic Mario things like jumping, shells, and hammers?--and there was actually a pretty heated debate between Nintendo and Square on it before they finally settled on sticking to classic Mario stuff, and I think we got a more interesting, more unique RPG as a result. It still looks fun, though, and definitely distinct, gameplay-wise, from X-Com. I just think sticking closer to classic Mario stuff might have led them in other interesting directions, too.

Random/Levelled weapons suck. Make different weapons that aren't just small differences in numbered stats.

ZZZorcerer posted:Random/Levelled weapons suck. Make different weapons that aren't just small differences in numbered stats. They apparently have eight melee weapon types, which is a pretty nice variety. I just don't see why they need leveled variants with random stats. Just give me the eight weapons and I'm happy, I don't need to find 100 different spears with random attack power.

Brother Entropy posted:lol, i haven't played 2 but that sounded like the neatest part about them doing a sequel It was really just an excuse to have the sequel take place on Earth and starring the same "Commander" you played in the first rebooted XCOM. But I thought it was a neat little twist, that XCOM was actually a simulation you were being forced to run through by the aliens so they could study human combat tactics, and they conquered Earth as a result. In XCOM 2, you're playing more like a resistance role, so everywhere you go, the aliens are already established and have security systems and stuff set up. I liked it.

Assassins Creed has had skill points, levelled equipment and levelled enemies for the last 2 games. Only the random equipment is new. Do I like those things? Not really. I especially dislike the levelled enemies as a lazy way of keeping the game world "open" but skill blocking it off. ...but more 'Sassy Creed? I'm down.

Not gonna lie, the main musical theme for Beyond Good and Evil is fabulous and hearing it again at the end of that trailer made me have various feelings. Very much looking forward to whatever BGaE2 turns out to be.

exquisite tea posted:I think it's a pretty creative approach since before an hour ago absolutely nobody on earth was expecting Mario X-Com. I mean it was leaked a few weeks ago but I get your point. I just mean that like, the gameplay in the preview looks pretty basic and mostly the same as x-com, a game I have already played, and I'd be more into it if they'd mixed it up a bit more. What happens if you add fire flowers and boomerangs to x-com's gameplay, or put the whole battle on a bunch of floating platforms? Is there a way of taking the mario approach to level design, where every world has a new core mechanic, and mix that into the gameplay? What about fighting a boo? I think there's a lot of interesting mechanics you could introduce into a game like this and instead it just looks like a reskin of x-com, and I think that's a shame.

I knew literally nothing about Beyond Good and Evil so all throughout that trailer all I could think was "gently caress is this poo poo?" After the title was revealed I realized that the game everyone has been waiting for is Mass Effect with even more furry poo poo and then I laughed

Snuffman posted:Assassins Creed has had skill points, levelled equipment and levelled enemies for the last 2 games. My argument is, well, the leveled equipment and leveled enemies in the past two games were not a good inclusion, and what they're doing in this is leaning into those, to the point of having a much higher level cap (and therefore room for having much bigger level differentials between the player and enemies). Syndicate was a pretty decent AssCreed game, all told, but I don't think the leveling, skill trees, and equipment added anything to it at all. They were just distractions from the actual fun parts. I fully expect Origins to be the same, only those distractions are even bigger and more important to pay attention to.

I'm sad about how samey AC Origins looks. I thought they were taking a year off to make it better. I've played all the AC games to completion (besides that one that was only on past-gen/PC) and only really disliked AC3, Revelations and Unity before it was heavily patched, but I have zero interest in Origins beyond the setting.

Dude, even the games Ubisoft builds from scratch over a long development cycle are still the same poo poo, identical Ubisoft games. They simply do not know how to make anything different or better. Except Michel Ancel. e: Ok the official site confirms it's optional co-op jump-in/out.

Yeah, the second that trailer came out and I saw the five billion icons on the compass I let out a heavy sigh. I don't know why I expect anything different.

BG&E is a 3d action/stealth/platforming game where you break into places and take photos to undermine a space alien regime occupying your weird french animal people cartoon planet, it's fun. I don't think you ever fly a spaceship, but you do race a hovercraft. There's a video of Michel talking about the trailer and he says that the monkey's jetpack and grapple hand are game mechanics, which suggests that it's going to have the platforming stuff the original game had?

TBH the BG&E2 trailer is not that big of a tonal shift from BG&E 1, that game pretty much turns into space opera in the second half and if it was a sequel rather than a prequel that's pretty much how I was expecting it to look anyway. Like the whole premise of the first game is the government has been secretly infiltrated by and is collaborating with the aliens and is kind of standing in the way of space travel, the next game was pretty clearly gonna take place in space anyway. Also Peyj and Jade come from a different planet to begin with.Red Bones posted:BG&E is a 3d action/stealth/platforming game where you break into places and take photos to undermine a space alien regime occupying your weird french animal people cartoon planet, it's fun.
