Every restaurant can be patronized.. movie theater watched.. street vendor talked to? Not every game needs to be super huge and expansive right? Maybe the super fast SSD approach of PS5 is the future, where you quickly go through a toll and that is the brief loading screen into a new area of full interactivity? Wait, so is there no eating in this game? Wtf. Why does V not have a pork bun in his hand???

I mean I think the closest thing extant in AAA is the yakuza ethos as said, though of course it's still far from what you're describing. The reality is putting that feature over everything else in a real project would make a really lovely game in terms of fun to effort expended and it would inevtiably be pared back (unless it's star citizen)

Combat Pretzel posted:gently caress that game. There was a legitimately cool and well-written subplot between the two warring coffeeshops (Pequod's and Queequeg's) having the same owner but offering the illusion of consumer choice, which nicely paralleled the main plot with the Order and the WTO. But the player character and all non-player characters had an IQ of 65, the engine sucked, the gameplay sucked, and worst of all, there was no stealth pistol that looked like a Spirit Halloween cigarette lighter

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Wait, so is there no eating in this game? Wtf. Why does V not have a pork bun in his hand??? I guess that one mediocre review on metacritic points to a couple of instances where you can't interact with street food vendors even though the food looks real with steam and everything and the vendor looks like an interesting character. There were other examples offered but it doesn't seem like a critical thing to code into the game.

I mean, the takeaway I have thus far is: - The game is deep in sidequest content that seems to be well written on average - The game allows for multiple playstyles and doesn't lock you into choosing one (though you'd do better the more you stick with one, of course) - The game is gorgeous...mostly. - It's going to strain hardware, but if you have a graphics card < 2 years old you're fine for higher quality images. No one gets the HQ and 4K at the moment (though I don't have a 4K monitor, so meh) - It's going to be buggy as hell. Some bugs observed may be corrected by Day 0 patch. CDPR are known for lavishing their games with more TLC than a Cameron's father to his ferrari, so it'll eventually even out. Will it satisfy all the hype? lol, no. Will it Be Good™? Probably! Dawn of the first day. 3 days remain.

I feel pity for the poor fuckers who only have an Xbox One S to play this on. Everyone else (apart from maybe base PS4) will eventually get a decent game once it's been patched a lot, but that version is never going to run acceptably, I guarantee it.

Eimi posted:I will use exactly one pistol like all the best sci fi characters played by Harrison Ford, and maybe some that aren't played by him. I also hope the game gives me the ability to summon pigeons on demand. Not to fight anyone, but so they can fly around dramatically. Yeah I'm also planning on doing the single-pistol thing because its classy as hell and I'm going to be a Noir Detective and carrying 12 machineguns happens in enough games this one it feels right to just pack a single pocket gun.

The Yakuza games aren't that great when it comes to interactivity. There are like twenty or so stores, but like most open world games, the majority of the world is just a backdrop. They do have moderately large crowds and feel like a real busy place, though.Mr. Pool posted:This is Disco Elysium Disco Elysium got like five stores, and is even smaller in scope. ymgve fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Dec 7, 2020 |

I am excited for this game, but concerned by some of the things I have seen and read about. Really hoping launch day is a good first experience, i'm going to be sad if it's not after waiting so long for this title to finally come out. It's pretty much my dream open world sci-fi game.

I think the reality is that lots of people SAY they want insanely high immersion and fidelity, but in reality they'd just poke their head into one building, say "cool" and then go do the quests The actual number of people who are insane enough to want lifelike fidelity is REALLY low I mean, I'd love it. I've been designing a game like that in my head for the past year, a game where you discover stories and plots by just going to bars and hanging out watching bands or whatever, and you have conversations built ad-hoc by integrating choices other players have made so that you're never actually certain if you're talking to a real person, a completely scripted NPC, or a dynamically crafted mix of both

About the only way to get good performance with something like this would be to implement it using dtrace on Windows 10, but that's not available out-of-the-box.
