...of SCIENCE! posted:I love in the commentary for the game when they talk about how much bullshit they had to go through to get Square-Enix to sign off on that one little gag. Did they agree "Look motherfucker, every single person in this room will be dead for a decade and a half before Final Fantasy 27 even has a concept trailer. We can do this gag!"?

Xander77 posted:They've been doing one every two years so far though? Not counting spin-offs? Going on North American dates: FFX - 2001 FFXI - 2003 FFXII - 2006 FFXIII - 2010 FFXIV - Also 2010 but everything was on fire and the game straight up got cancelled and basically remade. FFXIV Proper - 2014 FFXV - 2015 maybe. It's been in development since 2006... Human Revolution is a decade and change in the future. Kinda optimistic there...

Sobatchja Morda posted:But...but...but they've got a time machine and Jane Austen! Make it a reboot that is actually a stealth sequel. I mean the Saints have a time machine to gently caress up history with. Just make it seemingly a reboot of the series with the Saints first starting out and Ultor being the big bads but with a few things off due to time fuckery and then have it go weird places using the new Time Lord old crew. It could work.

Sleeveless posted:I really hope that the AC series doesn't die until they reach WWII, if only to see Ubisoft handle Hitler and The Holocaust with the feather-light touch they're known for. Yeah so, they already touched on Hitler back in the second game.  Assassin's Creed 2 posted:By the 1930s, Hitler was under the influence of the Templar Order, obtaining an Apple of Eden from Templar industrialist Henry Ford, intending for him to use it to start World War II. Alongside fellow Templar puppet Joseph Stalin, Hitler brought on the turmoil and fear necessary for Abstergo Industries to take control of the working population.

poptart_fairy posted:This works in reverse too! If you're cool and level-headed, with a reputation as such, but get angry at him during the museum level he will be insufferably smug and taunt you for getting under your skin. Jim Cummings did an incredible job with the voice acting on that guy. Likewise, if you're a professional most of the time with others and just exclusively act like an rear end in a top hat clowning him, he gets incredibly annoyed with you rightly acting like he's some nobody mid-boss.

Fools Infinite posted:I definitely did not feel it was open. If you aren't skipping things, you are typically presented with two options, one of which is a dead end and sometimes optional. Each area is pretty self enclosed and the shortcuts you unlock just loop back on themselves in the same area. There is really only one spot where you can actually do something differently to skip ahead. Also an easily missed optional area. It never felt like it opened up to me and was focused on a single goal the entire game, not split like the others. My favorite thing about Dark Souls 3 is the people claiming Dark Souls 2 was so much more open with its 3 dead end directions you could aimlessly wander down, with level design that would feel right at home in a first person shooter from 2001. It was truly a hidden gem, despite everyone bagging on it for being a disappointment prior to the new sequel.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:please tell me there's a mod for Max Payne 3 that makes the cutscenes skippable. I will finally play it again if that is the case because that game is the poster child for really good gameplay surrounded by lovely everything else Nope. Unskippable cutscenes are hard coded in because they were masking load times on consoles and Rockstar, despite their huge budgets, are kind of hacks. The best you can do is play the arcade mode, which means you only have to sit through the opening 10 minute cutscene of a level.

BioEnchanted posted:I liked his solution to his problem - he was told to guard the boats, but he had no fences. But he had boats. So he built a fence out of the boats. "Now, Boats guard Boats!" If you let the troll paint the fence itself instead of Geralt, it does a spot on accurate job of painting the crest.  Edit: Geralt's painting for comparison. The Witcher 3 can be a funny game.

I also loved the pathetic bird that Geralt painted on the fence.

Nuebot posted:He's the pontiff. Google tells me "pontiff" means "The Pope". So yes, you can punch the pope to death. His name in the Japanese version is straight up "Pope Sullivan". So yeah, you can straight up punch the pulp to death (not particularly easy though, since punch weapons are kinda trash now  )One of Xenosaga 2's late bosses is straight up the Space Pope. He was renamed the Patriarch in the English localization but he was originally straight up the Pope and his faction is straight up evil Space Catholics.

2house2fly posted:I'm waiting for some kind of Ultimate Edition with all the DLC included to get Witcher 3, but it gets harder and harder to put it off the more I hear about it They just announced a GOTY edition with all the DLC. It is coming out within a few weeks. The expansions are some of the best content of the game and some of the best DLC around period. Just wait for that.

Cleretic posted:I suppose that's fair enough, but there's still some good low-barrier stuff there. We can start making the fact Cloud spends a chunk of disk 2 as a wheelchair-bound babbling vegetable one of the things everyone brings up, right? Or the fact the literal stuffed toy party member is like CRAZY evil and traitorous? Sure, except Tifa was the demure listless childhood friend female character. She just happened to dress like a street hooker. I swear nobody loving remembers any part of Final Fantasy VII and just go off the half-recalled Kingdom Hearts depictions of all the characters Len posted:Tidus is still a little bitch compared to Jecht though. Jecht's entire story was him coming to terms with being a huge drunk gently caress-up.

Slime posted:The Turks are very dedicated to their work...while they're on duty. Hojo was similar. I swear, Shinra could have stopped half of the horrible things Hojo did by just giving him like a month's vacation while everything was going down. It'll be interesting to see the Final Fantasy VII remake if they remember how goddamn goofy that game actually was with stuff like Hojo chilling out on a holiday weekend surrounded by babes in a full lab coat or President Shinra doing an evil overlord roleplay with hookers in the slums. Or if it'll go the all serious brooding anime all the time like everything in the extended FF7 universe trash.

jojoinnit posted:This might be a bit of a stretch but I just launched Hitman 2016 and saw there was a special holiday themed assissination mission. The briefing is: One of the challenges is knocking one of the thieves out three separate times with a thrown brick. Dudes just cannot catch a break from mischievous multiple grievous head injuries in a single night.

Nuebot posted:The really weird part was that the Dragon God boss from demon's souls, which mechanically speaking it's somewhat similar to, wasn't anywhere near as bad. It really is weird how the bed of chaos just manages to be the singular worst part of the entire series. Easy, Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith was the last thing they worked on and it's straight up unfinished/hastily thrown together to ship.

Glagha posted:2 is exactly the opposite of what's happening? They push tons of preorder bonuses and "early access" to games people preorder to convince people to buy games before they even know what they are, and don't let reviewers get ahold of them so that people aren't inadvertently convinced to cancel their preorder by someone pointing out that the game's poo poo. Plus they still give pre-release copies of games out, but they just give the games out to youtubers who are unlikely to be critical of the game to give them free advertising. It's scummy as gently caress. I dunno, I think people are capable of watching some dipshit Youtuber playing a video game and decide if it looks like it's poo poo or not. Having it processed into a poorly written essay by some pushing 40 white guy in a dying media format ain't much better. Times have changed. But as always, never preorder games.

Who What Now posted:There's also a billing invoice from a construction company for installing secret doors that are opened by shadow puppetry. The billing invoice is for a company called "Trevor & Chamberlain's Construction". George Trevor was the guy who constructed the Resident Evil 1 puzzle filled mansion. Apparently before he died, he founded a company that just installs weird rear end puzzle and emblem doors for residencies.

Vic posted:It began with half of the Unreal Tournament 2004s characters, then Gears of War and then a year later UT3. There were like 4 gears of war games too. Nah. It was actually an engine thing with Unreal Engine 3. The thing's default settings for male model skeletons and everything associated with them were gigantic ripped Gears of War muscle men with huge feet. Likewise women were all rail thin with push-up bras, huge butts and weirdly long fingers. Sure, you could alter the defaults but most who worked with that engine didn't so you get things like the Arkham games where Batman, Gordon and Generic Cop #27 all look like they do Zangief's training regiment and Catwoman, Harley and Generic Hostage Lady #19 all share the exact same measurements.
