Fact: Every game gets worse the later in it, because they're rushing to meet deadlines.

So if the first hour of a game is poo poo, you can easily assume the rest is garbage.

Nasgate posted:

No, but i know QA testers generally do not play through the entire game. Neither do initial game reviewers. So a polished front end is both easier to have and more important for release sales.

I actually like bl 2 a lot, even playing alone. It's like diablo but it's a fps, how is it possible to not like?

I mean, I'm overall sick of FPS games but it's still much much better than the diablo gameplay.

it really isnt

I know most people prefer the Gnat Attack-like gameplay of diablo but I personally really don't like it. Playing diablo 3 with a controller would be the second and last reason for me to ever get a ps4, right after whatever disgaea they will put out for the system, if I ever buy one.

Snes JRPGs were great. I firmly believe many people who say they hate the genre got in during the PSX era or later, when things started to suck.

I dislike most of the JRPG gameplay since Phantasy Star on the master system but I love Mana Khemia for example since the combat is way more engaging and it has other interesting mechanics like the alchemy stuff. I bet most people dislike the fact that it's turn based, period.

why do movies look fine at 24 fps but games don't

each frame on a movie contain a blur from the whole window of time between each frame, so the transition between frames is practically seamless, games only have a flat image of a instant so the transition to the next frame seems like a "jump" between two very distinct points in space.

I kind of wanted to see a game that would render stuff at 120 fps internally but only present 30 fps and use the extra frames to create movie-like blur. The input lag would be console tier but it might be a nice effect for story-driven games like telltale stuff.

For me, about no man's sky, it all depends on how they manage the main objective of going to the center of the galaxy. Having to fight your way there can be pretty cool. But that's me, it's not like games where you have to make your own fun don't exist, like minecraft for instant, that wouldn't be a game for me but people seem to like it. But the fact that every gameplay video they show don't basically anything at the gently caress all, either on the action side or the creative side, probably means that at the very least it's really really far from release. That last gameplay video was really loving bad, almost like they were trying to be lame on purpose, they only showed the gameplay stuff from E3 and nothing else, what a let down.

The greatest thing about indie games is having companies focusing on gameplay while the big studios make movies and games with no new gameplay at all, to the point that Sony now only makes movies and nothing else. I'm pretty ok with bad pixel art, like really really really ok.

Halo is garbage trash. Two weapons, slow as poo poo movement and floaty jumps are the worst and gently caress halo for making it standard.

Or how about just balancing the weapons. Turns out big fuckoff lazers are slow, here's some small enemies. Or enemies that flank you when you're trying to reload a big rear end gun solo. Like i said, ammo scarcity is lazy rear end design and pretending it's elsewise is pretty silly.

Only thing dumber than ammo scarcity as game design is monster closets.

A big loving gun that cleans out everything being balanced by consuming loads of scarce ammo sounds way more fun than a weaker, maybe slower weapon with infinite ammo to be quite frank.
