I liked gow because it told a complete story by itself and any plot holes and the like can be explained by blame the Edda

Nier was a complete shitshow on a technical level but literally every other aspect of it is better than gow18, imo

The Last of Us was better, I already had my spiel about it in the 'PYF things dragging this game down' thread, but the "Bad person becomes father figure" thing works infinitely better when your character's bad actions aren't irredeemable.

God of War is actually fun to play unlike Last of Us. Though I really am sick of the over shoulder 3rd person view. It's bad in shooters and it's even worse in brawlers where you need situational awareness. It's what put me off Senua's Sacrifice even if that game is quite good for what it is.

I always see people say it but I dunno what's wrong with TLOU's gameplay, I always thought it was really well done third-person shooting.

Making controls intentionally sluggish as a means of reinforcing helplessness or danger is not what I consider good game design. If a game wants combat to feel stressful, it should be because of dangerous enemy AI or a threatening environment, not stress brought on by fighting with the control scheme.

I'm looking forward to one day getting single parent/parent-analogue stories like these where the parent isn't a grizzled old dude tbh Has there ever been a single mom main character in gaming?

It's kind of sad that you have to go back to a game from 2003 to dig up a motherly female character. They really have not made much progress. Obviously there are games out there that fit the mould but the fact that you need to dig for them says something about their scarcity.

The fixed camera God of War games are very fun, but aside from the first game saying "this bastard deserves everything that's coming to him", there's little to say about the plot. But the actual hack'n'slash brawling in the old games is great.

The game's story is her journey to get him back. I think. I wish I could remember the title.

I've been playing through God of War 3. You can easily find it used for $3 or $4 now. They're the type of games I like to think of as simple pleasure games. They're pretty simple and button mashy, but they make for a fun distraction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMXjDLGHGJo&t=0s Quinton has added to the ever growing numbers of Ready Player One book reviews. I've only recently subscribed to his channel and I suggest others check it out as well. Ready Player One does miss out on a lot of potential satire about nostalgia and nerd culture, but the biggest missed opportunity for satire in my mind has to be the part where in the real world, the main character buys a gun via a vending machine. Also, when he mentioned how nerd culture places such an emphasis on encyclopedic knowledge, my mind immediately went to superhero comics. It's part of the reason why I don't really bother with the main two publishers anymore. That mentality is just so pervasive that whenever I read one of them there's a part of me that just feels like I'm doing homework. Though it also might be that a lot of superhero comics just aren't very good. Conal Cochran fucked around with this message at 04:46 on May 20, 2018 |

Testekill posted:God of War and the clones that sprung up afterwards are incredibly shallow games though. Yeah, God of War is an incredibly shallow and basic series, and comparing it to a proper character action game like DMC is horribly overselling what it offers. Also, honestly, Nier and Automata are probably two of the actual best games ever made, and it would've been great to see either one get even half of the press GoW18 did. But they're just too crazy and japanese, and god knows we can't have that.

I mean, Automata did genuinely get a lot of play and accolades compared the original's most memorable coverage being the guy who couldn't follow quest markers.

It was a big company's smaller budget game versus another big company's system seller for the year. It's cynical to say, but game penetration comes down to marketing dollars and few if any gaming sites punch above the level of those that are currently posting dozens of Infinity War clickbait links because that's where the clicks are.

Where you literally hold a young girl's hand as you walk her through a zombie apocalypse. I'm sure if you delve into indie games you'll find way more female protagonists than AAA games, but I honestly don't know what percentage of them would be moms.

The show does actually look pretty awful, it's a hodgepodge of every current show's art in a way that's super ugly and it's obvious CN is just trying to make TTGO 2.0 with it, so of course none of that's actually why they're complaining, just more chuds desperate to have something to screech about.

Yeah, I haven't really seen anyone that I follow complaining about it being un-masculine or anything along those lines. It's pretty much the complaint that it's the same kind of overly-bright, bean-face style (in regards to the fact that the head and mouth is shaped like a bean) from other shows like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and that other show that I don't know the name of: https://twitter.com/FourEcchiTasty/status/997561648792686592 It's inspired some satire: https://twitter.com/AnotherJoystick/status/997997541378666496 https://twitter.com/maniadrone/status/997943207051874305 There's also, uh, this: https://twitter.com/NicoColaleo/status/997544040491974656 https://twitter.com/NicoColaleo/status/997646607595143168 https://twitter.com/LisaNani25/status/997753930116354048 Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 09:27 on May 20, 2018 |
