How were you supposed to know?
>>736421356your character will crouch and look up on the barrel if you press down or up. it's not the greatest indicator, but it at least provides a bit of feedback
>>736420597The worst part about this fucking barrel is it is the only one to operate like this, none of the other barrels in both acts require you to press up/down and even if you try nothing would happen so the player was taught a bad habit and then put in a locked room for no good reason.Doesn't help that Tails occasionally glitches through the bottom and you think there's an escape.
>>736422613I mean the fact that they lock you in this room tells you there's a way to get passed this. If that door didn't shut, you'd probably just turn around looking for another way to progress, and I don't believe there is one.
>>736420597I didn't. The only reason I was ever able to pass this part as a kid is because my older brother figured it out.
The biggest problem with this is not that the game didn't teach you to interact with it, but that the interaction doesn't make any sense. This bouncy barrel is clearly physically affected by you falling on it, it's an object affected by physics, why would looking up or down make it move?
Why was Rosalina barely in her own movie?
>>736423454Imagine you wake up to the sound of her giggling, you open your eyes and see that you're in a dimly lit chamber. As you try to move, you realize that your arms and legs are fastened to a crossbeam, spread apart. You also notice now that you are completely naked. She comes from around the corner, still giggling, before delivering swift, brutal kicks to your exposed, dangling testicles. What do you do?

I am slightly obsessed with Final Fantasy Versus XIII.It's one of the most fascinating tragedies of the industry. I think you could compare it to Alejandro Jodorowsky's vision for Dune as far as unrealized epics. As far back as 2002, you could see the beginnings of what Nomura was hoping to do, with Kingdom Heart's "Secret Movie"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOtXZp3B-tcThis sequence was essentially re-created as the first trailers for Versus XIII in 2006https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuWmF0uBgqQ
The Final Fantasy XV "Omen" trailer seemed to hint heavily at a story element that did not end up in the game at all. Possibly a significant story beat originally intended for Versus XIIIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcDTgR0drG0
Forgot to mention Stranger of Paradise. That one should be obvious. Story of Stranger of Paradise looking really interesting in light of the Omen trailer. Hadn't put that together until these posts.Tetsuya Nomura is unsung as a writer. His stories (especially entries in the Kingdom Hearts series) have extremely high concept (essentially sci-fi) ambitions, comparable to authors like Philip K. Dick and Jorge Luis Borges. Everyone who knows, knows PKD from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", the inspiration for Bladerunner (which can be argued to be an influence on the visual style of Versus XIII) but he also wrote stories like "We'll Remember it For You Wholesale" and "The Adjustment Team" - which, whether or not Nomura has read them, have interesting conceptual overlap with games like Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days. There is an incredibly interesting tension in how such grand ideas in Tetsuya Nomura's games are counterbalanced (or perhaps shackled) by the Disney trappings of the Kingdom Hearts series. There is of course, also the possibility that Nomura's intentions can't quite work out without some lightness and Disney-esque comedy to temper the chunni edge; but regardless a part of me still aches for the Versus XIII we'll seemingly never get. Nomura completely unchained, and loose to create the dark vision he's been nursing since at least 2002. Played straight and without compromise. I would have loved it, and I cherish what glimpses of the vision we have.
I miss them.
>>736417981I like the moment at 7 seconds where he hits two guys behind him at the same time.
Multi-ground takedown was a mistake
>>736422441Before you get it in Origins, the best strategy is just beatdowns and special takedowns because it takes so long to receive critical strikes. It's a welcome bandaid ability there.It's fucking insane in Knight though because it's not just the 3 guys you punch but 3 OTHER guys as well because of the quickfire triple-batarang. 6-man takedowns delete encounters too fast.
>>736422441>>736422668Almost every game with an upgrade system suffers from power creep. In the Witcher 3, for example a couple upgrades to the igni spell is all you need to stunlock 99% of the enemies in the game, allowing you to breeze through every single fight entirely unscathed. To enjoy vidya you really gotta set yourself limitations, because god knows devs won’t.
why is vidya like this?

Wait till you see Outlast Trials and the scenes in it, especially this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f-lQPiTXfIYou already had fucked up scenes in first Outlast and they pushed even further with Whistleblower but scenes in Outlast Trials is just on another level.>but but they are part of the story and they are supposed to show you how far corporations are willing to goFirst: they couldn't show that through the documents you get to read or some other way?And second: any sane person already knows corporations are shit and deserve to be nuked, everyone knows how shit they are already or should know. At some point you are going to have to admit that this is literally just torture porn and i am fine with that, what am i not fine is the fucking retarded hypocrisy. Reminder that this game didn't even get an adult rating on Steam unlike all the anime visual novels from Japan because "muh anime characters look too short and thus means literally child"
Why Dark Souls 3 got memory holed so quickly?

>>736423226I still remember the Weird crusade the Shartyfags went Against TCOAL. A game where Incest is presented as Bad and Characters in it are presented as bad. But No let's Dox the creator because of Incest route (optional and presented as bad)

It's kind of insane how it aged like a fine wine
>>736415268Shit died in 2005 after WoW, it just dominated everything, and PC exclusives started to become a thing of the past, look how many of them are multiplatform on release after that.Golden age I say was 1998 to 2005
>>736420846whocheck twitch for updates btw
>>736414415Do you know what's crazy about Diablo 2?The game features no enemy scaling, but it almost feels like it does. The enemy balance is fantastic.
>>736417967D2 is great because of its atmosphere. Lots of mechanics are just fucked
>>736418069Well I won't pretend that was no power level problem with runewords (Enigma being the main offender), but I don't agree runewords didn't improve the build diversity (so altering the gameplay). Many builds like Fireclaw sorc, Ghost assa, Wolf barb or Dreamer pala wouldn't exists with those rare but powerful as fuck runewords. Although having no information on runewords inside the actual game is indeed not ideal.Charms I agree had poor implementation, separate charm inventory would be a better idea.Crafts and rares could be improved but they are still the most sought after items, the potential for insane mods is there (see shit like Armageddon Slippers).Overall I think D2 did an amazing job when it comes to itemization because every class has many options for item mods that feel meaningful. You have items like Stone of Jordan being usable to a whole range of builds (even best in slot). Bottom line, all of this makes the slot machine rewarding to play.

>>736422512like 25-35 real time minutes unless the game is a stalemate and devolves into trash war into wood game in which cases it can take up to 1-2 hours

What game do you want Capcom to port to PC next?
>>736421378>Adds denuvo
>>736422602I'd still take it. I'd hate the DRM. But I'd still take it.
>>736422602You mean Enigma.
>>736421237What game did they pirt to pc last time? Because last I checked gog has been doing the work for them pretty funny how Capcom made them do the leg work just to flip the resi games, Dino crisis, & breath of fire on steam
>>736421237Quake III Arena engine/Idtech3, all it needs is someone decompiling the PS2 images and rebuilding to load on Quake 3, MOHAA or RTCWSame goes to the Survivor and dead aim gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Ft5UQYUPkBut capcom is scared of speaking with id Software about this again.And seriously, if they did capcom would ask for jill, leon and nemesis for Q3A remaster and claim that it is a endgame for jill and leon after they are now superhuman thanks to the T-Virus

Is Persona 5 a good game?
>>736417583It's not bad if you play the original non-censored version. P4 and P3 are way better though and don't have the cringe "lets go get those heckin adults and save the world" kind of reddit writing.
>>736420873P4 is better but P5 shits on P3. Especially if we only compare the originals.

Who are the best /v/ideo game reviewers that you still follow to this day and why?Of course, we all know that our favorite is Mandalore. But what about niche, intellectual reviewers?I bet a lot of us "played" through Siren in the last two days, if you know what I mean, and now we're experts on this topic.
>>736417608Who bitch this is???

i just reached the Data Scientist in Death Stranding 2 and i was so disgusted i unironically uninstalled the game.

Korean knockoffs are soulless and robotic. There is no style in them, no melancholic vibe, no kino soundtracks. Nothing.Japanese FMV are rare but they are pretty good actually. Roommates, Romance, and Ringing Hearts was very soulful and funny.Anyway if you want to get into the genre then DON'T ever start with korean ones. Here are some kino games that will make you very sad and melancholic OR very cheerful and euphoric:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2803060/Director_Simulator/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2862610/Superscout/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2817140/Charming_Hearts/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3898860/Roommates_Romance_and_Ringing_Hearts/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4190070/Ladies_Dont_Tempt_My_Immortality/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2786680/Knowledge_or_know_Lady/

>>736417959You're not wrong. But Koreans are literally exactly the same in that aspect.The only reason some Japs are original, is because of Jomon blood.
