>Ben Schwartz: Oh my God. Grant, this is great. Okay, so this is what happened. I think I downloaded it on Xbox. I started playing it, and I found the controls to be so hard to play that game. To me, it wouldn't work. So I played it, I got to one of the Knuckles rounds where, for hours and hours, you're searching for little things, you fly around searching for stuff. And I found the controls to be so — I just didn't find them to be easy in that version of it. I wish I had the original, it must've been Dreamcast, right? >I wish I had Dreamcast, I had that controller. I feel like it would've been so much easier. It's the same thing when I play Switch and I play N64, it's too hard. Even playing Mario 64, it's like I find the controls to be so difficult as opposed to when I had that old controller. But so what I did is — I'm not even calling it cheating, because I didn't beat the game — I watched a playthrough of the entire thing, to make sure I watched the entire thing. But I gave it my all, and then I was like, "I think this will take me so many days just to figure out how to handle these controls." >So I did a playthrough and got to watch the whole game, and it's amazing. Also, there's so many specific things. Like, sometimes the audio mixing is bananas, sometimes the voices are over each other. [Laughs] And the music is so loud sometimes, and the music is amazing. And the story is — I mean, if you've played that game, Sonic Adventure 2, the story is — I don't want to ruin it if people haven't seen it, but there are twists and turns in that story that are not evident in other Sonic stuff before it, I would say. So, I loved it, I got to watch it all, it was like watching a movie. I was like eating popcorn and loving every minute of my life, but I wish I had a Dreamcast, so I can kind of play it myself.
>>676048367SA1 and SA2 were built to take full advantage of the Dreamcast hardware. The palette-based "Lantern" lighting engine from Sonic Adventure was ahead of its time. Iizuka wanting something transparent and liquid since the technology now allowed it, the team came up with ChaosAdventure games were all about making must-have killer aps for the Dreamcast, while Heroes and Shadow were just them trying to keep the brand alive in third party consoles. This is why the controls, bosses, models, stories and characterization suddenly got worse in Heroes. They weren't putting the same effort anymoreHeroes was made by the exact same team as SA2, but it was downgraded to run on PS2.Once upon a time, dev had to resort to tricks such as culling to optimize games to run on very limiting hardware. 2024 and now devs don't even bother with this shit because the hardware is so powerful and full of gimmicks such as DLSS/FSR and RTX that gaymers don't even understand why their game runs well or runs like shit
>>676048367SA2 PC port is really awful, i mean is playable but once again the broke even more stuff compared to GC.Chao garden is nearly entirely broken. Weird that console versions have less issue, and actually keep GC light.
>it was like watching a movieOh no no no, he basically called it a movie game! SA2 sisters, our response?
>>676049231SA2 was basically an anime
>>676049269Even worse.
its fun
>>676048920its inspired by high end mmos, which almost none of them are randomized
>>676049058Yet it calls itself a roguelike. Curious! Perhaps almost as if it can be inspired by multiple things and take inspiration from both. How queer.
>>676048841>why do roguelite games use roguelite mechanics
>>676049151>>676049172Roguelites/likes are called that because they're harder/more unforgiving than most modern games, not because they're random.
>>676049058The boss rotations are not randomized, it's scripted.What IS randomized is boss order and loot.
>a bunch of dudes in a literally who studio in the 90s>make a post-apocalyptic setting for their game because they liked Mad Max>elated when they sold 600k copies>it's one of the most iconic and recognizable vidya IPs today>one of the richest and most successful game studios on the planet with a hundred million game copies sold owned by the most valuable company on the planet>spent a decade making a space game setting in the vision of the director's childhood dream>sold 10 million+ copies and was played by even more people on Game Pass>literally no one cares about the setting or the IP or could name a single thing about themWhat the fuck went wrong
>>675996367He's solely responsible for the starfield's failure. Todd admitted that he wanted to "explore every single planet", he was probably the one to push the "grounded" space game when in fact they could have chosen any other direction and it would still turn out better than what we got. And of course Todd is the one who kept his talentless buttbuddy Emil as a lead writer. I'm amazed how Todd managed to spend so many years in the creative industry, and still shit out such an outstandingly bad sci fi content.
>>675997146Did people really forget about Oblivion's potato-faces?
>>676046142>The loreReally? There hasn't been any worthwhile lore in TES since Morrowind. Oblivion is vaguely popular because of the memes on tiktok (900 players on Steam at the moment). Skyrim is popular because of the insane amount of mods, and that game, I think, may never die because it has reached a critical mass of modders & players that has yet to be surpassed. And nobody gives a fuck about the lore in Skyrim. It's all about playing in your own little sandbox, made just for you, with the mods you like.Bethesda added nothing worthwhile to the Fallout lore, but yeah, the setting is pretty cool if you ignore the Fallout lore.Finally, Starfield has no worthy lore or setting, give it a few months and nobody will be talking about it. I don't think Starfield will ever reach the same critical mass as Skyrim and become your de facto handmade sci-fi sandbox RPG experience.
>>675994734it went from a bunch of dudes who were passionate about video games to a bunch of diversity hires who were not passionate about video games
>>676046992>starfield's failureI'd wait to see Bethesda's annual review before talking about Starfield being a failure. The game sold well, didn't it? I imagine that Microsoft must be relatively happy with the sales, in any case. But I hope for Todd's sake that he hasn't sold his project as a new Skyrim that they'll be able to sell for 10 years on multiple platforms with Special and Anniversary editions, because clearly nobody gives a shit about this game anymore.>jk, may Todd and Emil get fired as soon as possible

How are most gamers still unaware that localisers have been rewriting and censoring Japanese games for over a decade now?
>>676048396Yah like how the Persona 1 translation outright changed the setting to be America and race-swapped the entire cast. I'll admit that it's a funny localization and I'm glad it exists
>>676048521You're lying. The Japanese translation of the OP pic is accurate. They sure as shit didn't call someone a plebian wrench in the Japanese version.
>>676048521it's not like olde English. itadakeru is common polite language, but it's generally used as an auxiliary verb. the rest of her sentence is really casual.
>>676039780Even if this were true, I would still rather have that compared to punched up dialogue that isn't accurate.
While this thread is still going, do you guys prefer the updated FF6 translation as seen on GBA and Pixel Remaster, or the original SNES one by Ted Woolsey?A lot of people like Woolsey but I'm pretty sure his translation of FF6 is a lot like the bottom photo of OP.
what game should would you download ?
>>676048426How is believing that Satan's rebellion is good any different from believing God is a little evil? A truly omnipotent God would transcend good and evil and display characteristics of both, which is essentially what you're saying, plus some very obvious mental gymnastics. Go tell your pastor that Satan is secretly a good guy.
>>676048258I'm just saying that if we discover their planet in 2024 they probably discovered us in 1200 with the exact same technology, but a move in advance.
>>676047868Very unrelated to the problem of evil. Budha provided a system wherein suffering is held as a virtue 800 years before Yeshua was born and it came with heaps less retarded, jewish cosmology.
>>676048537We can prove God by trying.

>>676048040True neutral.They gave me a second monitor recently at work, and tried using it for a few months but it didn't increase my productivity or whatever. Guess I'm too old and too used to just one monitor.
Monitor with small touchscreen monitor/tablet under it shits on all reddit styles.

>>676048632>Doesn't answer the questionIt seems like you're assuming El Dorado and Utopia are the same for no reason. What reason do you have for thinking they're the same?
>>676047317Yeah free story skip will detroy the game, but if you have a main character that went trough all the MSQ without buying a skip then you should be able to skip all the way to that character current story, also unlock all the aetherites and currents.They would say its impossible most likely, but we all know its probably just because people buy skips for their alts instead and this would cost them money in development and sales.
>>676049103you really love imagining lalafells dont you?
Dear Destiny players. I gotta ask, do you guys really think this is good character design? I saw an ad for this game and I fucking laughed in public

consumables suck and the game gets boring really quick, the crab game is far superior

>>676040937>makes souls games for a decade where you dodge by rolling>the roll has input delay because sprint is bound to the same button>make sekiro which relies heavily on parrying>the parry has no input delay which messes up the soulsfags timingThis was the main issue tbqh
Recently went back to replay Hollow Knight and it really casts sharp focus on all the ways Sekiro is better than every other game that apes the Souls formula>always a checkpoint IMMEDIATELY before a boss, none of that 6 minutes of running past enemies to try again bullshit>death loss is death loss, there's none of this "you're weaker than usual until you gather up your dead body" shit that locks you into a path and wastes time before challenging sections>Attack patterns and combat arenas balanced around heal spacing, you have an opportunity to heal as long as you are prepared to give up boss posture/a shot at their HP bar to get it>liberally sprinkled checkpoints around areas, all checkpoints are warp points and you have an item to return to your last checkpoint, which makes exploration not a fucking chore once you're retreading old ground looking for stuff you may have missedAnd that's on top of the fact that there's a jump button and no stamina meter.
What's a rollfag?Do they jus tkeep rolling (as in dodging?) or what?
Just captured this.

Convince me to not pull the trigger
I downloaded some mod list a week ago and it was so fucking bad, "Novelus" it was so fucking bad its actually mind boggling. Basically a mix of ubisloppa but with 10 year old coomer mods.just play stalker anomaly if you want something that's actually not fucking trash but you want 3345345 mods
>>676047889It doesn't matter, Toddler has already gotten more money than he can think to do with from this game so what's six more dollars worth to him.This game is fun as a hiking simulator to look at pretty landscape but otherwise its a bad game. Boring guilds, boring combat, boring main story. Lots of Mods can make it more playable but fundamentally its just not very good outside a few things.
>>676047889how do you not own this already?fucking newfags
>>676048817because its shit and some people like to spend their time playing good games instead?

>>676047108
>>676048243Unfortunately, corporate interests have long since realized that women are the largest consumer market in the west. They spend significantly more money than men in just about every area. Thus, it makes sense to market to and pander to and generally bend over backwards for them.The demonization of male sexuality in media comes down almost entirely to trying to market to women. That's why there's this insane double standard when it comes to sex appeal that appeals to men vs sex appeal that appeals to women.
>>676047231yeah
>>676049089>Unfortunately, corporate interests have long since realized that women are the largest consumer market in the westThey're also the largest consumer market in the east and they don't alienate men like that, in fact they try to satisfy whatever niche that might exists. "Greed" doesn't explain why it's economically viable to ditch a huge portion of consumers, even if they're not a majority. Catering to females have resulted in a general loss of revenue in every media industry that has tried it. If the companies are doing this to get more money, they're fucking up badly.
Refute this. You can't

Everyone knows that benevolent dictatorship are the objectively best form of government. It's just extremely hard to find a person who is genuinely benevolent, wants to be a dictator, and is competent enough to hold onto their power. Gabe is one such man, but unfortunately his ambition is limited to PC gaming.
