Oh, ok. So I guess they didn't really think much about how to make a new villain and they came up with that. I may check the PYF meme thread because I'm sure that this exact clip is there.

The premise of the villain is interesting and if you're a fan of Trunks it's a cool storyline because it ties into his future timeline. But other than clothing he does look just like Goku for the most part. Hence those soldiers' confusion.

I can’t believe Square decided to make a Front Mission spin-off game. (Well I guess I can believe that and can’t believe FF7R actually turned out good). The only people (including me) who care enough about Front Mission to be excited about a new “Front Mission” game just want another mech strategy game.

I just want another mech game that’s not a Gundam fighting game, micro transaction filled trash, or Enter the Breach (which is great, I’ve just played it to death). No Armored Core allowed for Bloodborne and Sekiro, but Square really has had a long run of stinkers between FF12 and the FF7 remake.

Just started Last of Us remastered. Like 3-4 hour in, it's pretty good thus far even though I had really high expectations. The atmosphere and the world feels really great, reminds me like the best of Walking Dead and I Am Legend in terms of setting. The presentation and production is top notch as usual for Naughty Dog, although I just played Uncharted 4 but that is their newer game so it's a bit better there. Also there is actual gameplay unlike Uncharted which is the most generic TPS ever. The survival/stealth mechanics are nothing new but the atmosphere ND puts in the game really elevates it.

That being said so far I feel like the story up to this point has been fairly predictable. The only thing I knew coming in was Ellie and Joel's names. Hopefully that changes as the game goes on.

Nice to see some positive tlou takes atm, after all the bellyaching of the last 6 months.

The Genichiro fight is legendary. It raises your skill level by such a margin that you'll go back to him one day and wonder how you got schooled so much.

Can his charged arrow be blocked, too? That's the only one I used to dodge on the regular.

veni veni veni posted:

This is mostly a guess on my part, but I think it's a mix of two things 1. I think marketers are under the impression that a cover should show how awesome the graphics are or people won't buy it. and 2. the same reason American movie covers are so bad, because they all need to showcase the stars to get people to bite.

It probably all boils down to some bullshit statistic that gets thrown around at marketing meetings. My guess is that it doesn't actually improve sales at all.

Yeah, I remember that Druckman interview where he said that they had to fight to get Ellie on the cover of TLOU because 'it would harm sales.' :psyduck:

There's an uncapped option apparently, but even the Xbox one X at 1440p routinely goes into the 40's. Both the Pro and X run at 1440p, and that's apparently asking too much from the Pro as the PS4 at 1080p apparently can outpace it at times. Yikes

There's Metro Redux, and...I really can't think of a multiplatform remaster release that's actually been handled anywhere near as well

I will gladly take 1080p or 900p for a solid 60fps. The option is honeslty such a nice inclusion that I too hope it becomes more standard in the future.

Indeed. Anything with a heavy physics or AI simulation, or something that requires a lot of texture decompression / streaming is really hard on this generation's consoles. Just Cause 3 is never hitting 60FPS, even if you dropped the resolution to 480i.

I would think Saints 3 should be able to get to 60 with a simple resolution drop, though, particularly on the enhanced consoles. The original game ran pretty close to 30FPS on PS3 and the 360. But who knows.

I really enjoyed playing SotC at 60FPS. It felt like a treat, considering how good it looked, and how poorly the PS2 version ran.

Last of Us was one of a very slim volume of games that my wife wanted to watch me play from beginning to end, ie, I could do what I want and play without her, but it would have been on par with skipping ahead on a show we were both watching. Mainly she either doesn't care at all, or she'll maybe look up if it sounds like something wacky is happening, so that really says something about the quality of presentation. Doubly so because she's way over anything zombie or zombie-adjacent.

I think predictability isn't really a bad thing if you nail the telling, which Naughty Dog generally does. They've also never told a story that I'd rate better than "aggressively competent FX series", but in the world of video game development just being reliably adequate at conveying a story like an adult speaking their native language basically makes you Steven Soderbergh.

Eh the last sentence is true even if I wish I could say games had better stories. Naughty Dog have really pushed the narrative side in the industry and props to them. They are also one of the few devs who push diversity in their games so I don't mind supporting them even if sometimes the gameplay in their games is average(uncharted mainly). I was just imagining Nadine in Tlou setting and thinking she would gently caress poo poo up.

That definitely is the moment that makes or breaks the game for most people. It's my favorite fight in the game because even though there is better fights afterwards it really is the moment where you know this game is something special. That boss took me a lot of time too because I was playing the game incorrectly up until that point.

For me it's the mikiri counter and (late game spoiler) Owl's feint during the Father fight. They're up there with Snake slowly going prone in Phantom Pain as animations I could watch on loop without diminishing returns.

This is so true, in retrospect I've managed to get through a lot of the earlier bosses playing it kind of like Dark Souls but Genichiro is really making me rethink the game and be conscious of keeping my block up and the lack of stamina management.

Anyways, I'm gonna sit down to my 3rd attempt of the day trying to beat the bastard :ninja: :rip: :cry:

Whoever designed the Lightning counter in Sekiro deserves a raise. It's the most satisfying thing I've ever experienced in these Souls-style games, just taking this element of nature always used to kill you and give that boss a big gently caress YOU as you throw it back.

Yeah the lightning and mikiri counters both feel amazing. It feels good to dodge into attacks in Bloodborne, since checking intimidating enemies with pure aggression really makes you feel powerful, and Sekiro takes that to another level.

I can't imagine doing that. FF7R took me over 40 hours to finish. All the FF7R games might take over 120 hours to beat. 7R didn't feel like an incomplete game upon completion, however I didn't play much of 7 before beating it. It's an awesome game and who knows when they will finish all the FF7R games they want to make.
