I was recently re-exposed to Metal Gear Solid dialog cutscenes and I realized Kojima can't write for poo poo, and I have no idea how he became such a beloved figure for his narrative prowess. Is it because he took "serious" topics and anime'd them?

Vic posted:That chat about videogame magic being boring and samey; I'm still thinking about how do you make magic interesting and new, not obtuse and annoying, and also be able to explain it in the worldbuilding. Arx Fatalis has you combining runes you draw in realtime with the mouse to create spells and it's the best way to play that game. It's neat.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:How did you enjoy RE7? I kinda burned out on it. RE7 was great to play. Capcom seems to pull their head out of their asses every once in a blue moon (last time, it was RE4). The crafting elements were very light and I'm thankful for it, and what little was there I feel like it added to the survival part of the survival-horror genre. But the story? It starts pretty solid, pretty spooky, and then Capcom can't help themselves and we start veering off into escape the room puzzles circa 2005 Newgrounds, before plunging back into the familiar abusive comforts of secret genetic research corporation labs / private mercenary armies with anime powers. It's campy and it's dumb, but it's the RE we love. e:

itry posted:The biggest problem with Soma was the gameplay, specifically the 'stand in the corner and don't look at it' monster. The dense protagonist was the second problem. But saying it wasn't philosophical in any way is kinda disingenuous. I guess the mystery is why and how did their world end, and what put all the people in those robots. At least until they outright tell you (also it wasn't them doing it). SOMA can be played with the monsters off, removing any possible obstacle to playing this incredible game.

They also tried riding on the coattails of Dwarf Fortress-likes when they got popular and vaporware'd a steam (hah) space management game out. Their track record is a bit shaky.

The mousewheel is almost always useless for actual play, barring zooming in and out on some map screen. The only good instance of good mousewheel binding that I can remember off the top of my head is in Hitman 2, where you use it to scroll what action you want to do on like a keyhole (Peek, open, cancel, etc). Now that was intuitive and fast.

Caesar Saladin posted:I think that dunking on game journalists far outweighs the actual substance of what he says. Game journalists are outdated relics that are desperately trying to cling on to relevance while considering themselves just as important as the games they are reviewing. There's a place for game journos, and it is a real career - it's not 2005 anymore and game journalism isn't having an angry review channel on YouTube anymore. What makes them useless and deserving of scorn today though is how absolutely in the pocket of publishers they are.

spaceblancmange posted:I played Control and it was ok. I got it recently, still playing through it. I like it so far, it gets pretty creative even if the premise is wholesale SCP but written by adults maybe. What I don't like is the handholdy almost Other M little lines of internal monologue TELLing me what the game could be (and sometimes already is) SHOWing. Maybe that's a relevant plot point for later, I don't know.

I fell off Control. I like the SCP themes and the brutalist office space but the main character is unlikeable and the story started to get predictable. Now I have nothing to play.

I dunno, I didn't connect with her. She doesn't really have a personality besides where's my brother and the cuts to her inner monologue made me feel the game was condescendingly holding me by the hand like I couldn't follow a conversation between two characters. I got nasty Other M vibes.

I suppose I've unconsciously dropped caring about plot in video games at some point in the past - because really they're all bland variations of the same story beats with different fantasy names - and I've come to realize that what I appreciate instead is the word building/setting. Oddworld is a favorite of mine not because of its story, or its gameplay (it's a competent platformer but nothing to fax home about), but because of the oddity in its design and its world.
