What game is good? The one that plays itself while you look at robot girls panties? Naw, that one was actually a bad game. And a mildly interesting story. With better than average music. And PS2 era looking graphics on PS4 era hardware.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I'm playing through it now and enjoying it well enough, imagine my surprise to learn the game is actually terrible

Nier 1 didn't gel with me but I know it has a huge fanbase so more power to the people who it gels with.

Protagonists still talk to themselves non-stop and games are still full of too-obvious tells to let you know exactly where you are allowed to actually go.

Absolutely. There are elements of that era that persist to today, especially in AAA Sony blockbusters. Thankfully, there's a lot more diversity in the games being produced these days. Also developers have more confidence in their players. Remember the shitshow Hitman Absolution? We'd never have got the excellent Hitman trilogy if Absolution wasn't so openly reviled.

What’s people’s thoughts on Farcry 6?

I don't mean to overstate this because the last gen Far Cry already looked pretty great, but I expected it to look a bit better.

And it seems because of the larger map, some areas have gotten less attention than they otherwise would've. I saw a little islet with completely unconvincing geometry, the kind you'd expect out of FC3, not a sequel a decade later.

Just let it shine through
Far Cry 6 is fun a couple hours in imo. Still good video game junk food.

I got it on PS5 over PC since I thought it would look better in 4k, but I guess they probably didn't do much over the last gen version beyond performance. Just kinda looks like a PS4 game.

The only thing of note I've seen of Far Cry 6 on the internet is that it has a cockfighting mini-game with Tekken aesthetics and the Tekken guy went on Twitter going "hey that's cool"

I'm only an hour in but I'm digging FC6. Like the new setting, 60fps is great for a longtime console player of the series. Sure at heart it's more of the same but if you're a FC fan I think it makes a good first impression at least.

PS360 gen definitely has its own aesthetics but I think it'll be more remembered for its game design ethos. Lots rooms full of knee high walls, campaigns designed around co-op/AI partners. Protagonists talking aloud to spoon feed players obvious hints. Binary morality choices. Clear markers that tell the player where to go at all times. PS360 generation is defined by the general lack of respect for the player's intelligence. Dark Souls was meticulously designed as the antithesis of everything that generation was known for, so it's no wonder it became the phenomenon that it was.

i've been replaying the arkham trilogy and there's this weird design hump where asylum gives you minimal hints, knight will eventually give you hints if you linger enough or try to do something suicidally dumb, and city will have batman actively yelling the solution at you for any puzzle that you don't solve in 30 seconds

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

Has there been any news on a PS5 version (or patch) for the RE2 remake? I'm guessing a Halloween sale is coming up and I'd like to play it, but if a full PS5 version is in the works I won't spend the money yet.

It was so jarring when I went to replay BioShock after beating Arkane!Prey and spending a few moments to admire the view in some places then the game immediately splashed GO TO THIS PLACE DOWN THE STAIRS on the center of the screen. They really had zero faith in a lot of people back then.

Capcom is not doing a lot of ps4 to ps5 versions of their older games so I really don't expect that from them. New games going forward, sure.

Far Cry 3 was a pretty sweet game for its time really, I got sucked in big by the whole "definition of insanity" trailer, played up till not long after you got the wing-suit, it had a fun kinda check-list style about it but god the story was whack, never did get 4 or 5

Ugh I HATED that. I remember Uncharted did it as well, I think you could change the level of hints it gave but yeah that's a really annoying thing in games. I THINK one of the Tomb Raiders did it as well?

Yeah, Shadow had a setting for how much Lara talks to herself during puzzles. It's even fine-grained enough that there are separate lines of dialog for vague and specific hints

Did this game run better on ps4 pros? If so that is prob all we will get. Still want to replay it at some point.
