I feel there are genres where the increase in graphical fidelity is meaningful, specially for VR and games focused on immersion. Like keep releasing Subnauticas that look prettier and prettier every few years, please. But for platformers, RPGs, fighting games, shooters, open world collect-thatons and strategy games? I wouldn't feel cheated if those never had an upgrade in graphics. Good art direction is way more important for how a game looks than the number of polygons in the models and pixels in the textures. Team Fortress 2 still looks great and that game is about 20 years old at this point.

baka kaba posted:what's actually going on in here Shipbreaker is you tearing apart ships while in a space dock in orbit in order to fund your escape to a better life somewhere else in human space. You do this by getting into a mild amount of debt to the corp that hired you and tearing apart those ships for their valuable bits. That trailer is all the ways it can go wrong. Also you have to pay for your own cloning which puts you more in debt. Here's a more general overview one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN82DJGmq7o

Would love to see Squadrons get some additional single player love as DLC if the game is fun. Might be what they’re going for at the $40 price, concentrate on multiplayer first and see what the reception is.

In the PS2 era there weren't a lot of good jrpgs available outside of that entire franchise. persona 3+4 then had writing about highschoolers feeling rejected by society + some strong mystery elements to them. This was and is popular, and if it's your jam you will probably love Persona 4 on steam.

I said it several pages ago but the game is literally “Anime as gently caress: The Game”. There are hours and hours of “Anime as gently caress” slice of life world building cutscenes to get through before the actual game kicks in. But once you get there, the RPG is amazing. But be prepared to be periodically interrupted with additional hours upon hours of “Anime as gently caress” cutscenes to go with your gameplay.

There's also a lot of RPG combat every so often. The main appeal of the game is that the characters can be fun and hundreds of progress bars go up for 80+ hours.

Orv posted:For a long portion of early digital distribution PC games were still $50 instead of the $60 that had become standard for console games, I forget what game it was that changed that, I think it might have even been an EA release but it pretty much got a tiny blip of response. PC games were about $50 up until circa the Xbox 360 generation (also imo the nadir of gaming). I believe it either Oblivion or MW2 that was the first high-profile omfg $60 WOW!! and just stayed there. there was a very little bit of controversy that quickly went away as everyone grumbled and happily shelled out for the big aaa hot poo poo potato of the time.

Shin megami tensei 4 and its sequel, Apocalypse are worth owning a 3ds just for them. They're about 30-50 hours each and are the the best mythical-beast-training-god-killingly fun you can have on the go! I never got into Persona after 2 because of the hard swerve into dating sim stuff.

It really cannot be overstated how good the music and just... general aesthetics of Persona 4 are. The prospect of playing through dozens of hours of turn-based JRPG battles isn't so bad when this is constantly playing in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cbjrTNSq0I Or this, when you're just wandering around town chatting with NPCs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ue1JPFXEU As for the writing, it's no Disco Elysium, but it's a fun little mystery with interesting characters.

The constant ratcheting up of epic, cinematic experiences doesn't automatically make games better but it sure looks good in marketing materials! One of the best ~c i n a m a t i c~ games I've played was A Plague Tale which is on xbox game pass for pc for $1 so there's no reason not to play it. just an absolutely really good looking low to mid-tier budget indie game that tells a way more interesting story than Uncharted 9 or "are we the real monsters???" tlou garbage. highly recommended Xaris fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jun 15, 2020 |

Persona 5 was my GOTY the year it came out (barely edging out Darkwood, the other high-profile anime highschool dating sim that came out that year) because the presentation is extremely good down to the menu animations of all things, the characters and story are memorable, and the handcrafted dungeons are a good experience mixed in with pokemon demon collecting. I tried to get into persona 4 some years before that and trailed off because unlike persona 5 it takes literal hours for the story to get rolling and the gameplay to start, the characters are not as engaging as persona 5’s at least early on, the presentation/style isn’t as slick, and the dungeons are boring randomly-generated filler where floor 8 is exactly the same as floor 7. this is probably not a helpful comparison because they didn’t put persona 5 on PC, but I really hope they eventually do that now that one of the games is in

I can't believe I'm still messing with the first level of the first HITMAN campaign two days later  Even with a couple instances of reloading at a convenient spot mid-mission to do a few different feats quickly (metagaming bastard that I am  ) there's still a bunch of scripting I haven't seen yet. Nothing to do with the fireworks show!
