N-N-N-NINE BREAKER posted:The Yoko Taro phone game also has weapon stories, but eventually 90% of weapons are garbage, and even if you're insane enough to spend precious resources on upgrading garbage you can only get weapons from the gacha so you'll never see all of them. What a waste that gacha is. I'd probably even have forced my way through it for more Yoko Taro but it's a goddamn real-time GvG centric gacha game which is the absolute worst. I just want more people to steal weapon stories, they're neat.

Been looking at the Watch Dogs Legion trailer some more, and I think I figured out why it bugs me. With what the general population being a recruiting pool, the game has to rely on a procedural face for the protagonists instead of a hand-modeled one. The few cutscenes that were looked off because of that, because the assets looked worse than before in WD2 (well, part might be Youtube's compression, but still).

The review embargo for Ghosts of Tsushima is up so we've been able to learn that the game is bizarrely nationalistic against the Mongols and also the B/W mode is effectively unusable because at times the game tells you to do something like "find the blue item" or whatever but does nothing to direct you if you're in B/W mode.

Is it bizarre? Until the industrial era all foreigners were still called southern barbarians.

Like they don't need to both sides it and have good invaders or poo poo like that but what I've heard is like only one has any characterisation at all. Which if accurate sounds kinda boring even ignoring the politics of it.

Which if accurate sounds kinda boring even ignoring the politics of it. I don't know how exactly I feel without any details from the game because the Mongol clans were a hugely varied collection of people across Asia and the Middle East so the major question is whether the game's narrative is directed at the Yuan dynasty as an invading force, essentially making it no different from the portrayal of e.g. Nazis in a WWII game, or Mongolians as an invading ethnicity which would be like the equivalent of whenever North Koreans are the villains in modern media.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I mean to be accurate, most of the invasion force in Tsushima should be Korean levies from vassal Goryeo Playing as a Japanese guy fighting invading Koreans developed by a Western company, I don't know how much more collar tugging you could get. This alt-history approach though does make me want a game where you play as the Mongols invading the rest of Europe or as Toussaint Louverture invading America in a massive slave revolt. Someone give me money.

Is the B&W mode just them moving the saturation slider to zero or is there more work going on there?

sekiros real good imo, because they cut the dumb bullshit like player expression and exploration of a decaying world echoing the motions of a dead kingdom with what matters: grinding muscle memory on tedious bosses so you can earn the right to post git gud memes on reddit the knight fight is legit inspired though imo

Sekiro rules but after I beat the game I really really really wanted a version of the game that is just a boss rush because the early game has so much walking around dealing with boring trash enemies who will run into your boss arena if you try and run past them. The whole section after you first go back to the Estate loving blows and takes a million years to get back to the boss with the spear if you die

Honestly Hollow Knight is so similar to Soulsbornes and blows them all out of the water so hard that whenever I consider replaying Dark Souls I just stare wistfully at the Silksong trailer instead

People clowned on Dark Souls Remastered but for 20$ I was able to become a sunbro and completely sequence break the game to get Gravelord Sword and Power Within to help newbies shred the Gargoyles and then switch into Greatclub and beat the poo poo out of O/S like forty times and then never play past that fight so I deffo got my money's worth out of it

imo the flaws of hollow knight are: takes a bit too long to get you the core movement powers, and until you get the portal thing the boss runs can kind of suck
