i don't know that you can trademark the shape of some plastic, but maybe they got in trouble because there'd be no legal way of having the exact shape and dimensions this early?

I was listening to a podcast and they were discussing what makes a good game villain and I was trying to think of a really good one. They were saying that , like in most media, a good villain never thinks they're wrong and how there's a difference between a good villain in a story and just a well-designed boss. I like games where the villains have really good motivation. I really like to think of Ellie as the villain in TLOU 2. I really wanted them to get their comeuppance by the end but I totally understood their point of view. Wallace Breen in HL2 was also a good one, you really wanted that little traitor to get what he deserved but you knew why he was doing what he did (he was really selfish). Anyone else have good examples of villains in games?

Quantum of Phallus posted:Anyone else have good examples of villains in games? Almost the entire MGS rogues gallery is great, with just a few exceptions (Fatman, B&B unit). They're all at least memorable, and most of them have compelling backstories and motivations. And Big Boss himself is a standout example of a relatable villain.

FlamingLiberal posted:A company that was going to make different colored plates for the PS5 console has been forced to stop making them under pressure from Sony. Part of it was that their website was initially PlateStation5.com, but I guess pieces of the console are trademarked and Sony doesn't want them making these plates at all. I do kind of love the argument of “well the patent was only pending, so we thought it was fine!”

I've talked about it before but 2020 cured me of my almost life long need to invert the Y axis, which I'd done since the N64 but no more! And I mean really, I couldn't play games without it, it felt impossible. I just played 16 bit and older games exclusively for 3 months and when I went back to modern games my brain didn't know which way was which, so I turned off the inversion and after a couple of weeks I was used to it. Rinkles is 100% right, you just get used to it, but taking a break makes it easier.

I had inverted X in platformers all the time (because as others have mentioned, it moves the camera--camera to the right means you can see more left) until the Tomb Raider reboot, which didn't let you change it, and now I'm standard on that but I will never not invert Y

I’ve learned about/cured some dragonrot and am in a memory right now. It’s definitely going to take me a while to get used to deflecting so I’m not entirely sure I’ll be able to finish it before the PS5 comes out, but hell, I got nothin but time right now.

Yeah it’s weird, every souls game after bloodborne for me wasn’t that difficult, maybe dark souls 3 initially, but Sekiro made me think ‘ok I finally get the combat’ like 3 separate times, for some reason two ‘health’ bars really messed with me or something, but yeah if you just attack until you hear and feel a big clang, which is the enemy deflecting, switch to deflecting until they’re done then repeat. It’s weird because you have to be super aggressive as well as being very precisely defensive unlike the soulsborne games where you can either be super aggressive and have lots of vitality and chug estus, or slam blood vials, and inevitably take damage and eat it or turtle up or whatever. Yeah and that too, the posture bar is just another sort of health bar that fills up, and a lot of the time fills up while their health bar is full, letting you get a death blow in while they’re at full health.

Sekiro definitely felt harder than any souls games to me because I couldn't just pansy-out and summon help after dying to a boss 5 times, maybe thats why I didn't get as far through as any Bloodsouls games but also the boss battles I did manage to beat felt 10 times more exhilarating

But yeah the Hirata estate is harder, i think, you can switch between them but I recommend at least doing the first actual Boss in Ashina first. Also don’t dodge, you either have to deflect, mikiri or jump sweeps, or you’ll get punished. There’s like a few obvious attacks that you need to jump back and away from, like specific boss grabs, but you’ll know them when you see them because they have specific animations where they slam you down.

Marvel's Avengers is permanently dropping prices on cosmetics that were initially temporary due to an in-game event https://www.ign.com/articles/marvels-avengers-permanently-cuts-some-cosmetic-prices I feel like this game is going to be dead before they ever get a chance to release that delayed new content (now scheduled for sometime next year). The next gen versions of the game are also delayed into next year as well.
