I more or less agree with your point, but the book and movie analogy is really poor. You can read a book or finish a movie. The book isn’t stopping you from turning the page and the movie isn’t making you press pause or watch the same scene over and over again.

Video games might be the only art or media form that in most instances tries to stop you from experiencing them. You still can if you watch a Let’s Play, but you don’t need that for books and movies.

I think the point was that nobody would refund a movie ticket for a lovely movie, let alone a movie you just didn't like.

Yeah, but they're still just expanded remakes, so if someone's going for a series playthrough anyway, they may as well get the plot in order of publication. Just a suggestion, though.

Yakuza is like the one series where this isn't the best option because Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 literally had new material put in them to make them fit better with 0, as weird as that sounds to say.

I think the episodic nature really worked against it, since if it were a complete product, people can talk about it and discuss the story, but I don't think anyone was speculating on what was coming next and whatnot. I'm not even sure if anyone even cared about LIS1 in that way.

People definitely did the thread fallout over the ending was apocalyptic at the time.

I really liked Guilty Gear XX on the PS2 when I was younger, just for the fun rear end kicking and characters.

There are more recent guilty gears, and I sort of miss that game. So, without taking into account netcode/MP, which is the better recent-guilty-gear game to go to?

Guilty Gear Rev 2 is the latest one and the last updated one with the most characters. It has an outrageously stupid name and an outrageously stupid store page, to the point where this graphic was made.



That said game is good and full of character and background details in the animations. It's genuinely my favorite fighting game out of this generation.

Gay Rat Wedding posted:

such a shame the game went downhill after they kept adding dumber and dumber items that totally broke the role of classes in half or in at least one case was just an objective upgrade over the stock. I remember in the dev commentary they talked about how they carefully designed each class to have a distinct silhouette so you could instantly know what capabilities you could expect from an enemy player when you saw them, and in one of their blog posts when they first started adding new weapons, they said they were designing the additions to reinforce class strengths rather than remove class weaknesses, which was very smart design. sure would have been cool if they hadn't completely loving 180'd on those things later

Remember when they said they wouldn't introduce cosmetics that break the Sixties setting/aesthetic.

What I get from this is that spending money on video games is immoral, because you're being tricked into exchanging your money for useless garbage.

I'm looking at some gameplay videos of Thronebreaker and is my assessment of it being more of a puzzle game correct? When I say that, I mean it doesn't seem like you collect cards and grow stronger like normal Witcher 3 Gwent, it feels like you get specific decks to tackle specific challenges?

In the main story you can customize your deck but yes it's basically a very long collection of gimmick matches.

Shenmue 3 is extremely funny because people gave Yu Suzuki money to finish his big passion project and he apparently immediately went "they gave me money to finish my trilogy... if I make the whole game's plot go nowhere and not resolve the story, they'll have to give me even more money to make more games"

I have no idea how you delude yourself in to thinking that your fans will stick with you through that plan, it's the weirdest hubris

Insane to the point of endearingly delusional ambition is kind of part and parcel to Shenmue.

On its own it took of the simple video game concept of gradually unlocking new areas/finding new information and applied it to, while still certainly a video game house, a much more realistically realized house. It also lays out its different stories in a series of compelling breadcrumbs that you can help but speculate about as you find each new piece.

In terms of internet posting though it came out right around the time the atheist/skeptic crowd lost interest in fighting with creationists and they pivoted hard into fighting with feminists and anything they could be convinced was happening because of feminism. So a video game that revolves mostly around women, was only about exploring a (mostly) regular world location, had no combat or any conflict at all, and also (story spoilers) has lesbians in it made them absolutely lose their minds all at once.

Yeah I think everyone has memory holed the entire time period but Gone Home was basically one of the games at the center of the "The women are taking away our hardcore games and replacing them with casual/mobile poo poo" gamergate posting era.

A video game...without any fights?!
