veni veni veni posted:Ya know. i'm going to have to agree. I really enjoyed that games story and ending and I don't get why it gets dogpiled on all of the time. No, I mean I do have problems with the game and ending in general, but the presentation, voicework, and music are fantastic in the final minutes...and I'd say it's generally worth the slog. I dunno, I just bounced hard off the entire Bioshock series but I respect its ambition. As for MGS3, I was a lot younger so some of the drama wouldn't play so easily on me today (I think I was able to overlook the cheesier parts of the game because most videogame stories couldn't be taken seriously back then), but that was the first game ending that really pulled on my heartstrings. The Boss was such a great character.

Haha, yeah, that took me a few. Her tail glitched out and got caught on scenery. The other one I got caught on was where Trico claws at a switchbox and the solution is to use a specific voice command to encourage her to claw at the switchbox harder. Game was amazing though. Every time that Trico swooped in to kill statue dudes and that awesome music played

Double-posting that The Last Guardian is a total masterpiece. I think it's the best game released in 2016, a year crowded with good titles. It's a longer story and a bigger world than I anticipated, and just such an incredibly complete experience. The ending totally floored me, and as far as narratives go it's Ueda's finest, most ambitious story. It ended in a way that was totally unexpected for me, in a way that fully capped the story but still left me wondering about the world and its characters and mythologies. I'm really glad the devs chose to limit the amount of footage that got out, because it's a blast being surprised like this, and being shown something both totally new and yet still completely compatible with the overarching world and themes of Ico and SotC. Goddamn, what a loving ride! Worth  ++edit, also glad I didn't plow through it in one day. Like sotc I sort of spread it out over the course of a week.

veni veni veni posted:What PSN sale? Are you not in the US? I got all excited for a minute but I'm seeing $60. It's 8 if your goal is to finish the game. It's 15 if your goal is to play and enjoy and be immersed in the game, and, I mean...it was made to be looked at and contemplated. But a lot of early reviewers are in a rush to say they played it, etc, etc...which sounds really unsatisfying, and would probably make a game about communication/miscommunication feel equally unsatisfying. The overall quality of puzzles in TLG is incredible, but a few of them stumped me real hard and I had to come back later. If you were on a review deadline my guess is you would just ask a friend or look the solution up in order to get on with the game, but in a puzzle game that sort of defeats the purpose. Easy Allies has the best review, and not just because they gave it goty, but because they talk about at length and yet give very little away.

mrbass21 posted:Maybe I have no soul, but I'm not enjoying The Last Guardian. It might not be for you, I mean don't sweat it. Just about everyone loved Witcher 3 and all I can do is respect it from afar...since I hate almost every design decision in that game. Still, not every game is for every person. If it's something you really WANT to like then I might suggest: - play in a less goal-oriented mood (it's a game about a relationship so start fostering that relationship) - don't fight the camera, it has a will of its own just like Trico, but be sure to use the L1 button a lot - play in 2 hour sessions. TLG's a fairly long game with a lot of mentally taxing puzzles, don't wear yourself out in one session - don't cheat, and try to resist looking up solutions. quit for a while and come back after you've thought about it. - stop and smell the roses once in a while

Aloofa posted:I feel like you have some buyers remorse and you want others to suffer for spending $60 on a game that most people will only play once. I liked this game a lot but my red box rental was all I needed. For reference, I played Shadow of the Colossus back to back to back. The game isn't as frustrating as some would lead you to believe but going through the game a second time would take just as long in my opinion, and that second time would be very boring. Most of the game is spent waiting for Trico to jump up onto platforms. There is nothing to speed up the process. You're being ridiculous. The game is just amazing and the experience is well worth $60, hell I feel Sony deserves some credit for seeing the development through and demonstrating that this medium isn't entirely based around trying to generate a quick buck through microtransactions. TLG is way way way up there in the very small list of games that has an ending worth working toward and experiencing, and one of maybe four games I've played in the last 25 years that has made me tear up.

Samurai Sanders posted:For me there's gotta be some compromise because I NEED to know that a command I entered actually registered. For games or any other kind of software, that's just something that if I don't have it I'll go nuts. If you bark a command at Trico he barks back in a very recognizable way, same as if you were talking to your own cat while gesturing at the food bowl and it meowed back at you in response. If you bark too many orders at Trico at the same time he looks at you like you're crazy. It's absolutely brilliant. I said come in! posted:I've been watching someone play the Last Guardian all day on Twitch, and they've had zero issues with Trico, making me think the complaints are coming from complete retards. This is making me want to buy the game now because i've been basing judgment on people who don't pay attention and assuming the game just had weird rear end mechanics. This is basically what the uphill struggle has been on these boards, trying to convince the average cynical wait-and-see goon that the game is good, because the first impressions that everyone got from lighting fast review deadlines were from absolute idiots that either had no patience, no attention span, or didn't understand the point of the game in the slightest. veni veni veni posted:It might actually drive you nuts anyways , but it's not quite what you are thinking. Its not like you are generally left wondering if something has registered. It's more like, trico needs to go some place and part of the game is coaxing him to do it, but it's sometimes not as easy as aiming in the direction you want him to go. I think this is a good way to put it, and is accurate for almost the entire game, granted a few hiccups. The whole point is that they can't really ever cross the language barrier, but the friendship persists and deepens in spite of that, and both the trico and the boy develop a sense for how to motivate each other that's tied to things like hunger, pain, exhaustion, excitement, desire for fresh air, fear, and hesitance. Really there's never been anything like this game, I mean the bug testing, pathfinding, quality assurance, and difficulty balance for this project must have been unbelievably taxing for such a small team.

HZD looks good, but I do agree that it gets crowded out by other things I'm exited about in this quarter...namely Nioh. Props to Sony for starting to churn out the exclusives and new IPs tho. The PS4/XB1/Switch era is looking more and more like the PS1/Saturn/N64 era, with almost all the good poo poo on one console.
