Wait what it's a JRPG? I think based on the title I just assumed it was a Danganronpa like

Kanfy posted:These are tough issues since the cultural differences around sexual content tend to be steeper between places than those around violent content. But yeah, like I edited into that post, things have still progressed on that front as we no longer need Geoff Keighley to appear on Fox News to defend Mass Effect's gratuitous pornographic content corrupting our children. Maybe. Still blows my mind that not only did BioWare get scared and take that seriously, the extent to which they took it seriously was deciding to cut out the same-sex Jack romance in ME2

Stickman posted:Does Steam Link to phones/tablets allow touchscreen controls in games with touchscreen support? If so, those might be the best tablet/phone games to stream. The touchscreen virtual mouse functionality has worked pretty well on the couple games I've tried but I'll have to check if this is supported, that would be neat

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:A single-player version of that style of game seems a little odd. Is it like a Zero Escape sort of thing where you have a bunch of choices which take you down pre-scripted routes, or is there more of an element of randomization so it's not the same events and same killer in the same order every time? I think it's the latter (I have gotten this game confused with Raging Loop which is the former)

Det_no posted:Bots are a myth. Steam has a bunch of prompts, including a message and install prompt when trying to redeem a game you already own, irregular response times and a limit that locks you out of redeem attempts if you try to brute force a code. It is not bot friendly at all and the idea that everyone has to play Da Vinci code because there are mysterious entities running bots, even during one of the rare times someone posts codes in here, and steal all the codes at the drop of a hat is a really tall tale to feed yourself. Thanks for posting this, that "if i were designing a keybot to attack this forum i would make it bruteforce basic obfuscation puzzles" was some demoralizing weirdo poo poo

Yeah JFO was really unsatisfying, the first time a stormtrooper took a direct saber slash and blocked it with (???) And then breaking their posture meter doesn't even allow for an instant kill sometimes and instead they super Regen their stamina? I can understand this for the elite troopers maybe but these are just grunts wtf Not to mention their cribbing from souls design mean that the troopers are working together with animals to set up ambushes on you???

Also Jedi Fallen order having your dude constantly loving surfing on pipes/ramps/vines for 10 seconds every area, which makes sense in an Uncharted-like where you're making constant forward progress but is really loving annoying as loving poo poo in a soulslike where you're constantly backtracking, or god forbid going through the same area again because you died, time for more loving surfing

The morality system is really half-baked, it's KOTOR1 level stuff of you find a prisoner and can either help them or not for light side/dark side points, the same event pasted all over the map 25 times. Also you start off being introduced to the full darkside "genocide everyone" and full lightside "help everyone" faction, I don't think I'm going to push in far enough to see it but I have no idea what coherent justification there will be for the separate "medium dark" "low dark" "low light" "medium light" factions lol

Oh lol I was working off bad intel from another poster who said that the Esposito character was Batista-like... Yara is described as "an island frozen in time" because of international blockades and he's trying to modernize his country with limited resources but ends up building a militarized cult of personality, I wonder who they might be trying to not reference with that... no political argument embedded in there I'm sure

If this cultural element is such a significant part of your game's story and experience that messing it up would be bad, then of course you need to budget for the time and money to do that right, the same way you budget for anything that's important. This isn't a "nice-to-have," and if it's something that can fall off the priority list, you need to consider why you think you need it in the first place, Thinking you have the license to play around with real-world cultures and identities and experiences, and then plead poverty when you tell these stories wrong (when you are literally trying make money off those cultures and identities and experiences) is the height of arrogance. Yes, it's worth calling out when a European developer tries to make a game using a bastardized version of history with stereotyped Native Americans when they could have, you know, done the work on that. https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7eq5y/this-land-is-my-land-wants-to-sell-an-indigenous-revenge-fantasy-but-without-any-indigenous-input The developer of Donut County initially started with a Hopi-inspired aesthetic, did the work to try to learn more enough about it to not use elements disrespectfully, and when he realized how much work it would take to do the culture justice, he didn't just go "oh well I did my best," he decided it was worth scuttling and going in a different direction entirely. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/hopi-less-how-kachina-became-donut-county CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Jun 3, 2021 |

There was a discussion about Slipways in the Fresh Releases thread that got too big (apologies, I really thought that was here) and I am now reminded that Mini Metro is basically the template that Slipways is following, except adding unsatisfying layers of RNG on top of it

I suppose, but it sure doesn't feel that way to me. With Mini Metro, the way that the game expects things to reach a breaking point and that's the inevitable end goal makes me feel fine about the challenges it throws your way. The fact that Slipways continuously grades you with stars as if the mission will always provide you the circumstances to achieve (when that is clearly not the case) is terrible-feeling. Like I'm doing the campaign mission where you have to stabilize planets with chip-based installations. This absolutely necessitates you have a Forgeworld and a Mineral world in proximity to each other, and mining minerals necessitates that you have a planet that can produce people. I keep on restarting because I keep on rolling systems where, even if the Forgeworld/Mineral world pair is present, the people planet isn't or the people planet is nowhere near planets that provide its resources. And it just completely grinds my gears that a trade-based theming is contrasted with game mechanics where other planets actively get in the way of trade routes because they can't pass resources along. And the game keeps loving teasing you with "near-misses" where routes won't work because of a centimeter gap or the planet is two degrees to the left. And yeah there are techs that resolve these problems but I'm not even to the point where I can get those techs because I'm dealing with this bullshit in the opening years Edit: lol i just saw that the patch today was fixing stuff that applied specifically to this mission, maybe I'll just check back in a couple of months and see what the lay of the land is like CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Jun 8, 2021 |
