Jagged Jim posted:Is The Surge any fun, or is it just a lame sci-fi Dark Souls clone? Depends on what you put into it, but it is at least a better souls like than LoTF. The problem is that its very limited gear types and very simplistic bosses. Its more later souls drag than early DS polish and pushing to the edge. The setting also isn't really explored as you're always just in a ruined facility with nice air and weather for a world that is teeming on environmental collapse. However, its got a kind of janky charm if you can have a taste for it.

New Batman Telltale and oh boy, are they falling head first into some bad ideas. Namely a lot of character death. I wonder if they plan on not going farther than Enemy Within.

Lt. Lizard posted:So could anyone write a bit about Tale of Wuxia games? I played and liked Age of Wushu in the past, so I got a thirst for Wuxia setting and tolerance for localizations made by a blind Vietnamese farmer who doesn't understand neither English nor Chinese and I was eyeing various Chinese rpgs/strategy games like Tale of Wuxia to get my fix, but I have no idea what to expect except "Wuxia" and "jank" so I am bit leery about buying them blind. The first Tale of Wuxia is a bit like Princess Maker, except its training up a kung fu maniac that can learn martial arts from anything, even drinking tea or guzzling alcohol like a drunken ape. There are city environments that can be breath-takingly scenic and serious and then little goofy moments with cartoonish proportions throwing slight gags. You can romance people or avoid it entirely, you can strive to be good, evil or just beyond it all and seek specialized different endings everywhere. It is a game that gives you a lot of freedom in how you want to play it but unfortunately the instructions to play it are still like 3/5s in Chinese or badly translated. It will also kick your rear end if you try the hardest difficulty and are entirely new so the best thing to do regarding the first game is to take it at your own pace, read up guides and learn how to play it if you're interested as its one of the few legit Chinese RPGs that you can play without creative computing and decent Chinese comprehension and its a decent pedigree. There is an LP made by the very cool Nyaa of I think an older version of the game if you want to spoil some of the first game to see exactly what's up. There is some other content that is never coming west though so its still flawed to a degree. However, I'm not sure how different the new game is so I'm still trying to find out about it myself.

Not to mention what little they did say about it presented Nu Prey as a pure horror game when it wasn't entirely that. It was an alternate reality shock game. Bethesda thinks it is so big that they can just play by their own unique rules and it'll never hurt than and we finally see that perceived invincibility backfire hard on a game that didn't deserve this cascade of bad publisher decisions. Also Tale of Wuxia: Pre-Sequel is a strange game as its otherwise an improvement on the previously released one, however, I miss playing as my own create a character. Like you can sort of do that with whatever returning part of the cast you can play as, molding them with weapons, move sets and level ups to their attributes; but it feels a little empty without your own moron bouncing off these actual characters. It's a strange feeling and I can't really call it a detriment as that Kung-Fu Princess Maker element is still here, just not with one aspect. Oh and, Jesus Christ Gearbox, your big new game was just becoming the publisher for a big-ish kickstarter game We Happy Few? No wonder its jumped up to over $50 for something that is still a bit of a gamble trying to marry procedurally generated random exploration and survival with Orwellian story events and plot.

exquisite tea posted:Bethesda doesn't seem to have a problem marketing their own IPs but they clearly don't put a lot of stock into their published games. I mean it's ridiculous that freaking DOOM of all things was the sleeper hit of 2016. They advertised its weak multiplayer more than actually show that it had single player, let alone a really kickass SP campaign. People were wary of it, especially when they let IGN morons play it badly.

Appoda posted:I did play a bit of Trails in the Sky, actually. The characters were surprisingly good! I fell off of it early on, in part because I had other stuff I was playing and also because the combat/presentation wasn't grabbing me (I think it was a PSP port), but I'll have to go back and give that one a look. Do you like Persona 3-5? Its basically aping a little bit of that with the links system but still maintaining that Legend of Heroes flavor. Also, which one of you wants to make your own Jurassic World Park?

Quest For Glory II posted:I wonder if they'll do the original series at some point too. Maybe if .GU sells well, but they'd probably have to really rework the first tetralogy as .GU is a big improvement from both technical and gameplay standpoints. I just hope that this lets CyberConnect2 make something other than that anime they're thinking about and more Ninja Storm as those people really know how to make good combat.

Its a Tetrology too now, GU Last Recode is getting a host of new features, including xp buffs, cheat modes, parody videos ala subsistence's extensive theater gallery, re-balanced and improved combat and avatar battles and a new fourth volume post story after the original ending of the game where Haseo tries to find Ovan before The World 2.0 is permanently shut down. This also includes a new fifth form.

Yodzilla posted:I feel like Telltale's games are now as poorly regarded as when that Jurassic Park game was that they shat out. They really need to stop taking on licenses and make some changes hopefully back in the adventure game/puzzle/gameplay direction. They didn't really need to change anything as people kept talking about Walking Dead and assumed every other game was good. Now? Well gently caress, did Batman really sell well or is DC just bankrolling it because whatever?

So Consortium: The Tower, the kickstarter sequel to CONSORTIUM that went and apparently succeeded on Fig, is coming to early access in a few hours -- maybe. God knows if it's having even problems releasing a stable build now. The game is very buggy and will probably be no where near done when it hits EA, but from what I've played its interesting for a low rent Deus Ex like. Feel free to wait on a more stable or complete version. Crabtree fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Sep 22, 2017 |

There are some very good ideas that they showed off a while ago. Unfortuantley, Warner Bros cannot stop shooting itself in the foot to drag down hype for a game that was a good improvement for SoM outside of maybe the dumb way they handled the spider lady.

The unfortunate thing is that Story of Seasons is kind of mediocre overall in knowing what to use, what to keep and what to experiment with over its games. Like, I'd wish they kept some of the online stuff A New Beginning had because that was fun and helpful and profitable all at once, but SoS is far and beyond superior to anything Natsume tries to cobble together. Stardew Valley still reigns supreme over both of them at the moment, but SoS is good for a HM. Natsume would impress me if they released their older games onto steam and just live off sales of HM64 or any of the wii games forever, if not finally figure out you need the creator of the series or concerned Ape to make a good game for them. But I'd rather not sacrifice the future of Stardew just to unfuck Natsume. Crabtree fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The biggest problems with most YOU WERE ACTUALLY HORRIBLE games is that 1: Their game-play glorifies what they say they are against regardless of what any sound narration or character can say, because you are still expected to be an integral part of this horrible thing to finally get the message you earned that obsessive force is actually bad and 2; they're a product that has no interest in dismantling the market that will keep glorifying OORAH bullshit in video games. Like yeah, Ubisoft, I'm sure you're gonna stop making Tom Clancy games because the whole franchise is kind of immoral and not because you keep loving up making games! Nothing makes hollow morality quite as paper thin as only pulling these morality plays because the well possibly has gone dry.

Dying Light the original game is still kind of decent if you can do it with other people. The Following is kind of garbage that doesn't' really improve the game so much as give its own disappointing sequel before Dying Light 2 is even a thing. Once again, its just a refined Dead Island with grappling hook guy replacing a host of offensive stereotypes and programed in racial/gendered slurs, condensing everything down in a skill tree you can eventually power level your way to everything you want. It wastes its sort of cool Middle East setting by back ending it into a city you may not see within maybe 10 hours if you just steam roll through main story. Night time is hard only until you learn how to game it, then its nothing but throwing down flares to grind xp and loot from night terrors and goo boys holding the cure or something. Weapons are still take something blue/green/orange and slap a few good mods on it in case you need to hit mobs down, but eventually grappling hook and physical skills will be most of the attack you need outside of maybe using guns against raiders. If you liked Dead Island, you'll probably be good with Dying Light, but the zombie's shambling mass hasn't kept well in between the haphazard updates and dlc.
