drat the guys are so full of themselves when they talk about "character action" games, stating that the tight controls are the most important thing in them and then rolling out God Hand as one of the best examples of the subgenre. Sure, it is a great game, but it has submarine simulator controls. And you can't claim that being hardcore and complex is a must when everyone's beloved Revengeance is an absolute button masher, save for dodge and parry mechanics (which are needed only on half of the bosses and those gorilla cyborgs). (Bayonetta and DMC3 whoop your scrub rear end good around their halftime, I'd give them that)

Shindragon posted:Everyone should get Hulk Ultimate Destruction. Probably my favorite thing is the stealth missions. Now you are thinking, what a stealth mission in a loving hulk game? The Hulk game that preceded Ultimate Destruction had stealth missions where you play as Banner and try not to get angry. Awful. Also Hulk could fire gamma lasers in that one for some reason. With the amount of Hulks that were introduced in the last 5 years in comics they could easily make an awesome sandbox where you fight someone other than army dudes. But alas, rip Radical. Oh god, Matt and Woolie are going to play THAT Punisher game to cap off the month, right?

Prison Break was interesting for two seasons because it had awesome supporting cast in William Fichtner and the dudes who played Belick and T-Bag. Then they got into ANOTHER prison in Mexico, the "we love 24" subplot got overbearing and then the guys became some sort of A-team trying to break into something.

Tae posted:DMC is one of those weird critic darlings that reviewers love but didn't sell well remotely, yet dismiss DMC4 for the most part despite being like the highest selling game in the franchise. That's why I was completely surprised why Bayo 2 was getting such acclaim from the same reviewers, because it's everything that DMC wasn't. Devil May Cry 4 has 84 on Metacritic DMC has 85 Not much difference. Bayonetta 2 has 91 I think it lies in the presentation - Bayonetta and Dmc are very flashy games that try to surprise with every stage, while DMC4 relies on fairly generic designs and yeah, the stage reusal is harsh.

Mary Sue is rarely applicable to professional writing because even in video games it is rare that the writer inserts themselves in the story to stand on equal grounds with other characters.

Gapey Joe Stalin posted:And yeah, Silent Hill 2 is why it is such an unbelievable travesty that anyone, let alone critics, takes Cage seriously as a person telling stories within the context of vidya games. No one takes him seriously save for Sony marketing department. But I think even they prefer to give spotlight to indies rather than do the auteur routine with Cage. Anecdotal, but back in the day, one of my friends who was a superfan of MGS 2 and Silent Hill 2 hailed Fahrenheit as something groundbreaking in the same breath.

TriffTshngo posted:While I do agree with them that it sucks when the God Hand situation happens and negative word spreads about a game based on people not knowing how to play "properly," I think Pat was right in his kneejerk "gently caress that guy" reaction to Itagaki's statement. You can't make a game that doesn't explain its deeper functions to the player and then get pissy when everyone playing the game doesn't do any of the cool poo poo you put in and thinks it's boring. It's your fault for not designing better ways to explain or demonstrate those functions. The game looks like hot garbage, like a C-list third person shooter from Steam greenlight or a Cryme Time title. People love the idea of hardcore games so much they rush to defend an atrocious, floaty shooter at the first word from the developer that it is for tru gamerz. God Hand situation is impossible in this day and age because you have hordes of youtube reviewers and LPers, and GAF to elevate any worthwhile title to the cult status. The last game that I can say popular opinion was terribly unfair of because of undersold/misunderstood mechanics was Massive Chalice, but it is the fault of the game's design itself - and you don't see Brad Muir calling people to git gud or whatever.

The cutscenes in MGS 3 tend to overstay their welcome, a lot of them is just talking over blurry photos and maps. It had the right idea of making most codec conversations optional. I think the balance is fine in MGS V until chapter 2.

At least when THQ imploded, several companies picked up the franchises worth a poo poo, Volition went to Deep Silver and Relic went to Sega. Konami is doing fine and it is going to sit on their licenses for eternity without any hope for even a licensed out shovelware.

HGH posted:And don't give me the "You don't know how much games cost!" spiel. Personally I'm questioning how much of LiS's budget was used on licensing or making trashy indie music considering the bad models, bad acting, bad writing and asset reuse. This isn't some "$1.5 million is too much for a 2D RPG" situation (and even then the total is actually $3.5 million which makes far more sense). Leaving aside the subjective merit evaluation, mocap and full voicework cost a lot.
