spudsbuckley posted:Yeah, "competition is good" doesn't really apply to videogames because publishers/devs still want to sell a bunch of games even if there is only one platform in existence. These days there's the argument that certain genres are only gonna get made at AAA funding levels as system sellers by the interested 1st parties, but MS hasn't been great at that for a while. Aside from that console competition is just a matter of what exclusivity agreements a given PC box makes.

I just remembered that you could save Miis to your Wiimote and that was pretty cool even if I don't think I ever used it.

the answer is no consoles e: also doesn't that just means you're trading features vs wider dev support, esp since the market leader's stance just becomes normalized regardless of reversals

Even with kojima's infodumps more info has to be coveyed by narration, golden sun is really loving needlessly wordy, and NPC dialog can account for a lot of that, esp with both spoken and ESP lines. The trails games have massive wordcounts too but a lot of that is the constantly updating optional dialogue.

Psynergy puzzles were a cool idea but then they introduced ones that were enabled by items taking up space in your (limited) inventory and also puzzle solving in games with random encounters is hell.

It's really weird when you get that combined with a character being incredibly concerned about their looks or weight or w/e despite looking the same as everyone else.

Ciaphas posted:So that GranBlue Fantasy game, can't look it up right now but it's just a grindy JRPGish thing with a stamina bar and an F2P shop, right It's a gacha RPG, yeah. Though at this point it's so popular that they do free draw promotions basically all the time (also because most of your power progression in that game is grinding weapon drops instead of character acquisition).

Samuringa posted:It always baffles me that reviews have scores, why include something that completely invalidates the writing? Most people never actually read a review, including production companies. See: the most popular movie review aggregator not even averaging reviews but % of reviews arbitrarily and questionably labeled as positive.

The Colonel posted:it's cool that the western industry voices speaking out about how we need more mid-budget games all ignore the flood of mid-budget japanese games that get localized, several of which have received widespread popularity ig I'm being an apologist here, but it might be the thing where people assume any game by a big company (ie. Square since I see nier usually named in the sort of discussion you're talking about) is AAA by default and also maybe there's a factor of intentionality at play? Cus there's a difference between suggesting big corps make smaller projects and tiny niche devs making mid-tier games just due to their budgetary limits.

It's often objectively unfair to the work and its creator(s), but when the bad aspects of a fandom are vocal and nigh-omnipresent online, at least for its time of peak popularity, it's understandable that it might influence you. Especially if they're the types to browbeat over mild criticism or mistakes.

inti is making an 8-bit bloodstained game and it's amazingly CV3-y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlDq0FQS15o it was a stretch bonus so I'm curious whether it'll be a full-featured game (it's selling for $9.99) or just a cute side thing like the first mighty gunvolt

Most dubs are at least okay and even official subtitles are shaky and inconsistent so w/e.
