>>738340213Nightreign got a huge hate campaign at first for being Fortnite, none of my friends have bought it even though they all play souls. And it's been one of the best videogames I've ever played in my life

>>738341486Marathon
>>738340213E33I wasn't expecting to be shit really... but we've seen a fair share of western JRPGs and they weren't very good, I was just expecting something mild

>>738340213Marathon and Diablo 4
>>738340213Deus Ex Human Revolution.
doom 2016honestly watching the E3 trailer, and then multiplayer beta I thought it will flop harder then anything before
>>738341816This will be the permanent example. If it weren't for some of the individual level design being weaker, I'd say it fully surpasses the original. City design is great, atmosphere is just as impeccable as ever, characters are great, dialogue is immensely improved with more real consequences for actions and the addition of social boss battles, and the aug system is honestly way better.
>>738341916What differentiates it from directors cut?
>>738341916>>738341816>the events of DE:HR take place one year from nowWAKE ME UP INSIDEWAKE ME UP INSIDE SAVE ME
>>738341816>>738341916>>738342085Been replayan HR recently. Is MD any good or did they fumble it?
>>738340325You're wrong. It's a painfully average game. While 6/10 is low, 7/10 is a perfectly reasonable score for it. For the $70 it asks of you, it's really nothing special at all, and quite disappointing in some ways.
>>738341816I still remember when the six hour long beta build "leaked" (probably dropped intentionally by the devs in retrospect) and /v/'s opinion on the game did an instant 180 from constant doomposting to calling it GOTY in the making.
>>738340613yeah this is the by far best fit for anything recent
>>738341702Dark souls II?
>>738343760I agree but it does scratch the wander around and fuck about an open world itch that both Bethesda and Ass Creed have fucked over the years so it deserves some credit for that.
>>738341170You should appreciate that the artist managed to give a stick figure a buttcrack. I think originally this comic was only the first two panels, picrel.>tfw i already had HowDoYouKnow.jpg from 3 years ago
>>738340213dragon age origins. everything they showed looked awful.
>>738343312It's more but I ended up enjoying it less. Still a nice game to play though. They tried fixing the blatant weapon disparity with specific ammo types, there are more interesting augs, the graphics are way more advanced. But still I prefer HR.By far the best thing about MD is the DLCs, specially the prison one. Excellent for replays.

>>738340213Final Fantasy 14 ARR
>>738342085>DE:HR take place one year from nowSHUT UP >>738343312It's a great first-half of a game that got fucked over by suits thinking they could live-service Immersive sims. Cyber-Prague rocks. seconding the other anon that the bank heist and prison DLCs are fantastic
>>738343760I'm having fun wandering as a monk doing tekken combos on enemies and mapping the world so your opinion only tells me you haven't played it or lack the ability to tell if a game is what you're into before buying it.
Is now the time to confess that I liked Invisible War?
>>738340869i had the exact opposite reaction>what the fuck he actually finished it? YES>oh, it's a procedurally generated roguelite>with that ugly pseudo3D look>and none of edmund's humor>and the nigger still hasn't fixed Gish
>>738348034having a blast you mean?
>>738348998>>with that ugly pseudo3D lookWhat?>>738348998>>and none of edmund's humorWHAT?Are you daft? The game's 100% 2d and filled with Ed's shit, literally in the case of the sewers.
>>738349326WOW i thought the whole reason for the weird split between objects and background was that the background was 3D. that's even worse.>the game is filled with ed's shitmaybe i didn't get far enough but all i saw was generic dialogue and generic cat-themed enemies
>>738340213Expedition 33. Trailer made it look like every other AAAslop game.
>>738342085>In the future people will willingly remove body parts then be forced to take drugs for the rest of their livesThey weren't far off
>>738344737One of the rare cases where the remake is better
>>738340467This. I wasn't expecting much from a gacha developer, but it was pretty good.
>>738350068its still shit lol
>>738350793Nah, man. The original is The Perfect Comic.
>>738340213Mario + Rabbids, we’ve been over this a million times. It is objectively the best representation of this image.
>>738340213Currently? Metroid Prime 4Im about halfway through it and its actually fine, not as good as the first 3 but Im enjoying it well enough.
>>738340213DOOM 2016, I remember Bethesda actually sent takedown requests to 4chan over a leaked image showing challenges.
>>738340213Dead or Alive 7
>>738341702But I didn't order chocolate.
>>738340213Deadlock
>>738340213Nightreign
>>738340213I literally can't think of a single example. If the development is a horror story and the trailers are bad, the game is shit, or at best mediocre. Every single time. There are no exceptions.
>>738344737>You should appreciate that the artist managed to give a stick figure a buttcrack.Yeah it's pretty impressive. If you look at it too long it starts looking weird but as long as you don't stop analyzing it, it does a really good job.
>>738344178The game itself looks fine. I wouldn't be surprised if it's decent.
>>738340467I came to say this
>>738341702Nightreign
>>738344368>10 years ago>RecentAnon...
>>738340467Literally the complete opposite, kys gook bootlicker.
>>738347141>the graphics are way more advancedOh look another retard that played the wii U port.
>>738343760>>738344594I'd say silver poop, and silver is cool.
>>73835386410 years is the average development time for a video game now idiot
In a very literal sense, Bloodstained. Like, Iga is the guy on the right to a T, down to the smug look on the last panel.
>>738348034You can't be a monk in the game and you can't do tekken combos when they all die in 2 light hits. You're a shill jeet.
>>738340213Far Cry Blood Dragon
>>738344247You have to remember, the expectation at the time was "invisible war, but worse, and with power of the cell graphics"
>>738340325Tell me about how much you love Ubisoft and Dragon's Dogma then. Because it's the worst of both.
>>738341702Cyberpunk>ultra hyped before launch>ultra hated after launch>fine (7/10) 2 year later when i bought it for free

>>738340325>guys crimson desert is better than elden ring, WWE, BOTW, touching live females, and you only need a 1080 to run it!>if you dont like crimson desert you are a brown nigger tranny nintendie poor
>>738344737>from three years agoI remember this from 2011
>>738340213All of themFuck I love videogames
>>738358360I unironically enjoyed cyberpunk when I played it at release. My secret was that I paid absolutely no attention to literally anything about the game until I got blindsided by it at launch day and saw some random streamer playing through the intro. I thought it looked neat and bought it.I think I only ran into like one truly gamebreaking bug through my entire playthrough, I didn't see all that many small ones either. Obviously I got really lucky in that regard, but I think a lot of the hate the game got for non-technical stuff came from CDPR not managing player expectations properly before release. Apparently some people legitimately thought it was gonna be GTA 6: future edition which probably wasn't realistic in hindsight.
>>738340613Same actually. Great game.
>>738340613Oh yeah. Good catch.
>>738340213Dying Light
>>738361782based
>>738340213it's better than every NES megaman game, you guys just didn't see the vision
>>738343312It’s okay. It starts off strong then you stop caring after awhile. The game peaks at Golem (heh) City and then drives off a fucking cliff immediately after. Thirding the other anons about the DLCs. My God, A Criminal Past and Blood and Wine are the two greatest DLCs ever made.
>>738353864Things that happened since 2008 are recent, this won't update until 2030 when it will them become 2015 and so on and so on
>>738362239>My secret was that I paid absolutely no attention to literally anything about the game until I got blindsided by it at launch dayThis is a powerful technique.
Silent Hill 2 RemakeDon't get me wrong, the original is still better. The remake messes up small nuances to a lot of cutscenes, the insane amount of enemies and even combat arenas in the latter half is terrible, the game's performance on PC and console is trash, and some areas got expanded in a way I'd consider more tedious as a result with how long you spend in them. But it wasn't terrible. When I heard Konami had hired Bloober to remake Silent Hill 2, it literally felt like someone tried to come up with the worst combination of words in a single sentence possible. But the game was okay. I actually liked a lot of the small changes to the game's story/pacing, the VA for James and Angela genuinely did a great job, some of the new puzzles and ways they adjusted boss fights were cool, and even the new endings they created for the game felt like something I could've have easily seen in the original. I still don't think SH2 needed a remake, but I was wrong. Bloober did a decent job all things considered. I was dumping on them (rightfully so considering the slop they made beforehand) all the way to release. Then I played it and it was fine. Good in spots even. I honestly feel like they could do a SH1 remake some level of justice now, which is something I would've crucified myself for thinking years back.
>>738352532How do you know it's a bar of solid gold? It isn't even out yet.
>>738340213You could shove something up your ass and push it out, you know. I've never done it myself, but I've seen it.
>>738362239>Apparently some people legitimately thought it was gonna be GTA 6: future editionThat IS what it ended up being, whereas people keeping up with the downgradening from the beginning were expecting an actual RPG.
>>738340213I had low hopes for Univorn Overlord after tactics ogre 64. Was blown away.
>>738340325/v/ is rarely ever right
>>738340613As someone who hasn't played it at all, or even watched it being played..I disagree with this.
would be funny if the upcoming starfox ends up like this
>>738362746This.It literally includes every trope that would normally doom a game. Open-world, zombies, crafting, parkour-lite mechanics, climbing towers to check off tasks on your map, generic story with QTEs, basically just zombie-flavored Ubisoft slop.And yet it's one of my favorite games of all time. Too bad about DL2 though which, ironically, fell into every single trap the original avoided.
>>738350068It was AAAslop. AAAslop is good. You've missed out on a ton being a contrarian.
Nioh Bought on a whim now I have 1000 hours One of my favorite games now and made me a koei tecmo poster
>>738353391I made this edit of Konata-chan, mostly basing it off of her own face. Thinking back on it, The Perfect Comic did have some subconscious influence on me. That's pretty interesting.>>738359620I meant more so that I had already cropped the 4-panel comic leaving it with the top two panels, and then saved it as HowDoYouKnow.jpg. The one I just cropped and posted was saved as a .png.
>>738340467To this day, I still don't know what kind of game Steller Blade is because no one ever talked about the gameplay on this God forsaken imageboard.
>>738363503Weirdly enough, I played Nioh 1 all the way through on release, hated it, then for some reason picked up Nioh 2 when it went on sale years later, played it all the way through, and fucking loved it to the point I put hundreds of hours in.Nioh 2 does improve a decent amount from the original, but I really don't know why the sequel hooked me but the original nearly killed my interest in anything the series had to offer. Maybe I just didn't understand half the mechanics Nioh 1 threw at me? I remember beating that game and being in basically a daze by the end.
>>738363605No one ever talks about gameplay for any game really. You can only discuss a single player action game's combat/mechanics so much. There's no variation that would justify long form discussion. It's genuinely a dumb complaint. Like, tons of people kept complaining about people only discussing Expedition 33's story months after release when it's like, what, are they going to discuss how everyone killed the same boss with some variation of 3 party members for the hundredth time?I don't even care for Stellar Blade, but even I've seen dozens of webms people were posting showing off what looked like pretty straightforward action gameplay with lots of dodging and fights with giant monsters.
Tales of Zestiria was such a disappointment, I thought Berseria couldn't possibly save the franchise and then it comes out and I play it 4 and a half times.
>>738363632I think starting fresh with a decent understanding of the game's mechanics helps a lot, but another thing is that Nioh 2 is just better tuned, IMO. It's a somewhat understated difference, but a pretty big one. The dogshit balance in Nioh 1 often got in the way of the fun action combat for me.
>>738363341AIEEEE MY OPINION
>>738364098That makes sense. I think hopping into Nioh 2 with at least some of the basics made it where I could actually sink into the advanced stuff that my brain completely glossed over in the original.Also, the original seemed to throw double optional boss fights at you all the time. I think there was a mission after beating the game I tried where it was Oda Nobunaga and his wife at the same time. I saw that and just turned the game off, I was so fucking done and tired by that point. Nioh 2 did way less of that doubling up kind of nonsense I felt.
>>738363605Its Nier Automata with better combat
>>738341702Warframe.>Ugh, a skinner box looter shooter grindfest for autists>Wait, why is the story so good, the content so varied, and the devs so based?>Oh, it just boils down to bulletjump screenclear spam grinding for hundreds of hours in the end>Wait, this game is god-tier for playing for a month every other year because nothing resets and you can't really 'fall behind' on stuff you haven't playedRebecca Ford is a goddess
>>738341486>Wonder how the fuck Elden Ring would be able to maintain Souls quality when it's open world considering Dark Souls and BB were very tight and 'specific' games>"DUDE BRO IT'S GOING TO BE FINE OPEN WORLD IS GOOD AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE THE CONTENT TO FILL IT THE GAME'S GOING TO BE THEIR MAGNUM OPUS">Elden Ring comes out>It's shit
>>738364246>look up gameplay videos on Youtube>"NIOH 2 LEVEL 1 +0 WEAPON NO OP BUILD">it's the craziest gameplay you'll ever see with loads of skillful and creative play>"NIOH LEVEL 1 +0 WEAPON NO OP BUILD">it's some guy fighting a double boss where he runs in circles for 95% of the fightyeah the double bosses got real old
>>738364330Automata's was way better.
>>738363632I actually meant Nioh 2 lol same thing sort of happened to me, I got Nioh 1 and wasn't impressed then was so bored I bought 2 and loved itStrangely the same thing happened again recently with wo long which is underrated
>>738340213The classic for this, as always, is Metroid Prime. The entire vidya community was convinced it was going to be a flop and that there was no way to translate Metroid to 3D
>>738340213Marathon.

>>738353470It's literally just Starfox64.Except now it's movieslop and has a hideous coat of paint.
>>738340467You shilled me into buying the game. I'm sorry zoomer, but it's complete dog ass.>K-pop music in the background ruining atmosphere>shitty epileptic "fighting" that is just acrobatics until the enemy explodes>absolute dogshit level exploration>enemies and bosses are just "non-descript mutant cronenberg things" with no imagination or art styleI hope Kim nukes your shithole. You deserve death and nothing but.
Regardless of whatever shitty point this comic is trying to make, no one here is taking a 12.5kg gold bar that just came out of another man's ass
>>738358360Yeah, apt.
>>738367645Yes I fucking would. That's $1.7 million at current price. You could shit it directly into my mouth for that money.

>>738340613it's not bad but I was thinking how slow it was compared to shadow warrior 2014Amazing that eternal and dark ages came out of it
>>738364570>Rebecca Ford is a goddessBro is too deep in the sauce man. Warframe has fucking sucked since Plains of Eidolon came out. Didn't like Steve quit? Didn't like something something Soulframe?I can't believe gamers still drool over gamer girls like it's still this picture ten years ago. Hurr durr muh Lotus!! Fuck you man. Warframe was perfect after The Second Dream and then shit the bed....I miss Draco with my friends
>>738340213Marathon. The only multiplayer game I don't regret buying in a long time, meanwhile I wish I could refund shit like Battlefield or Helldivers that this board was sucking off.
>>738363454>AAAslop is good. You've missed out on a ton being a contrarian.Every once in a while I give a AAAslop game a chance and regret the time I wasted playing it.
theres a faggot on twitter that posts OP screenshots as they are still live on the board and gets thousands of likes and retweets. this is one of them
>>738365203>Automata's was way better.
>>738340613and it was boring AAA slop
>>738366834You can bite gold. It's not as solid as steel or tungsten.
>>738344178I mean yeah no shit. It's just starfox 64 again. Even in the worst case scenario it will still be decent.
>>738342085Chill out retardYou should know any medium that depicts the future is always overly exaggerated, now stop being scared of numbers
>>738340613I still can't believe the first impressions ID showed of the game was the fucking multiplayer. The games industry really is just whoever sabotages themselves the least
>>738340613its mediocre but compared to what came after its fucking goty

>>738341702Yakuza well before 0 when all I knew about it was the gif of three people getting into a fight with a telegraph pole./v/ was such absolute dogshit at explaining what the games actually were. All they had to say was "combine a k-drama except J with a beat-em up and minigames" but you'd ask and you'd end up thinking the game was some kind of just a beat-em-up or Shenmue.Can't remember where I started, think it was 2 or 3 and they both burn slow so I nearly dropped it before they both actually let you just fucking play. One reason I think 0 took off like it did is that even though it's still a slow burn it at least lets you actually play quicker and paced some of the more dramatic fights early with the "okay beat up each lieutenant for an arc" setup.

>>738363083>>738362239I'm just old enough now I don't buy first day any more: Play the backlog, wait two years and then if it's worthwhile get it on sale.Usually patched the worst issues out and the general opinion dust has actually settled outside of /v/ to decide if its even worthwhile. Plus no need to chase the bleeding edge of grafix. Well sort of, that uh, that's kind of gone out of the window the last couple of years.
