I mean, looking like a generic anime VN is literally it's initial draw. It just so happens that it's a generic creepypasta instead of a generic VN.

To my knowledge the only good Visual Novels were made by Cing (Hotel Dusk, Last Window etc) and near everything else is low-rent anime-trash that clogs up Steam. It helped that the Cing games had production-values, a unique and pleasing art-style, and a greater degree of interactivity beyond choosing the next dialogue option. Haven't played the Nonary Games.

FactsAreUseless posted:This is the worst post I've ever seen.  I have been watching a lot of the new mario and I just love all the costumes. Nowadays it's easy to imagine the costumes being locked behind dlc or premium currency or something, but they're all standard unlockables, and they're all so cute! I especially like the fancy tux and the aviator outfit (w/ captains hat)

Anime nerds love anything they can point to for saying, “see, anime is deep” Even in anime it's been done before, the idea of a crazy girl who unexpectedly snaps and kills and tortures people is practically a stock archetype at this point. And there have already been plenty of horror VNs that cover the same material.

Schneider Inside Her posted:Playing Destiny 2 and after the intro you lose your powers and are cooked. Right after this happens they give you a ledge you can’t jump onto without your double jump, so you have to walk over to an outcrop and use that to get the necessary height. Pretty slick. They added a ledge clamber thing, where if you didn't quite make the jump your character automatically pulls themselves up that's how you're supposed to get past that ledge, no need to jump off another thing but points for ingenuity, I guess?

It’s a real different attitude in the two threads though. Sometimes people in this thread aren’t really looking for a bitchfest about every petty nuisance in a game that they like, and sometimes it’s nice to just have a place to commiserate without annoying everyone else.

ImpAtom posted:I avoid the other thread honestly specifically because it becomes a lot of really annoying complaining, I'd rather not see them be the same thread.  Okay so in the Half-Life series there are headcrabs, parasitic beasts which latch onto your head and turn you into a shambling, gibberish screaming zombie. In Half-Life 2, the Combine use headcrabs as boilogical weapons. In Half Life 2: Episodes 1&2, because of your actions in HL2, the Combine have lost control of the headcrabs and occasionally you get a zombified Combine soldier running around. The neat thing is that Combine soldiers have artificial larynxes which give them very deep, mechanical sounding voices. If you aren't listening closely when a Zombine stumbles by you might think that they are just mumbling and groaning the same gibberish that the other zombies are screaming. If you listen, though, you can actually make out words. *beep* "Necrotics... inbound..." "...parasitics...." "...sector is... not... secure." *beep* They're still conscious enough to warn their fellow soldiers about the danger. Imagine hearing that over your radio.

Regular headcrab victims speak too, but its reversed. Nothing very profound, just varying degrees of “help/kill me” but it’s still a neat touch.

Echoing the writing in the Wolfenstein games there is a section where a character tells BJ over the radio to avoid killing any Nazis. Bj then proceeds to fake static noises while going "Kill all the Nazis? Ok!" You then go and kill all of the nazis.

For an enemy that you'll be killing by the hundreds without a second thought, a lot of thought went into the Combine soldier's visual design, which I like. In Episode 2, they have more mud on their boots, because they've all been marching out in the wilderness after you. There's also a bit where they have them blend between two different walk cycles so they all aren't marching in lockstep. StandardVC10 has a new favorite as of 03:22 on Nov 9, 2017 |

Here's another fun headcrab fact. The ones in Half-Life 2 have no eyes. Now you might be thinking, well, that's nothing new. Not true! This is a headcrab from Half-Life. Look very closely. Not only does it have eyes, it has six of them! Poison Headcrabs will reduce your health to one if they hit you, but your HEV suit will administer an antitoxin to restore it. This is a function of the HEV suit, which you can tell because when an NPC gets bitten by one, their health won't come back. That applies to all NPCs except for Father Grigori, who is immune to their venom! This is probably just a gameplay contreivance to make sure he doesn't get killed offscreen, but I like to imagine he made himself immune to it like Tim Friede.

Don Gato posted:Headcrabs in HL 1 also had a different walk animation where they kept their front legs pointed up in the air instead walking on them like they do in the second one, iirc. A friend had a theory that the differences were because of Combine genetic engineering, which is also where the different types cane from. Maybe something like atomic gardening with headcrabs?

I've been influenced by a friend into playing through the Megaman Legacy Collection, which I'm doing sequentially, and I just tonight finished Mega Man 1. It's not a game with a difficulty curve that's aged well, but it gets pretty fun. I did think it a little weird though that they bound the non-menu pause, which existed for that game only, to LB. NES games don't cover a lot of buttons, but that one did feel a little far away from the rest of the control scheme. Then, in the Wily stages, I realized why: It's very easy to press independent of every other button in use.

I picked BOTW back up after tiring myself out on it, and god, it is SO satisfying to one-shot the Guardians after they were such a terror in the early stages of the game.

I'm playing through Transformers: Devastation. The game isn't terribly deep, not that I'm expecting that from a Platinum game, and the gameplay itself is just so-so. I'm still having fun with it though, based almost entirely on the visuals and sound. It's an extremely bright and colorful game with G1 Transformer cartoon graphics, and a lot of the original voice actors reprised their roles. Also, every time you transform it makes the classic Transformers sound effect and it just makes me feel like a kid again.

Hirayuki posted:Crypt of the NecroDancer (and its AMPLIFIED prequel DLC) is on sale for 80% off on Steam! Thanks again for getting it onto my radar. Necrodancer is such a drat good game. Lately I’ve been playing it a lot and really digging into the DLC (which is super great too). It’s one of those games like Nuclear Throne that just seems monumentally tough, but once you get used to it you start to see the patterns and you’re able to predict things and make educated choices on the fly. I’m at the point now where I can string wins together (with the easy characters, granted) and it feels so drat good.
