“Oh yeah… that came out…”
>tfw can't buy the game because I donated all of my life savings to #BLM/v/ros... blast away without me
>>7397011490/10 cant fuck the mouse
>>739701149>his main criticism is that the game doesn't have enough tutorials and yellow paint so he doesn't know where to goYatzee really just developed dad gamer/journalist syndrome where they don't actually want to be engaged or challenged by a game. They just want to power through it with their brain off because they sooner they finish it the sooner they can write their review or move on to the next game
They made a whole game about that stupid Moushley meme?
bump
>>739701149>Oh yeah… that came out…Its not out thoughbeit
>>739701860you are shit at videogames if you think Mina is challenging
>>739705048It’s not out yet, grok
>>739701860So, what, people should just not be taught how to play the game they're trying to play?
>>739701860>they>they>theirYahtzee is male. Barely, but still male. You’re allowed to gender people here, newfriend.
>>739701149The word FULLY makes me instantly think of Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod and its implications
>>739705678You can figure out how to play any game on your own if you don't have a sub-room temp IQ.
>>739705865Are you ESL or just terminally online.
>>739706251The subject/object structure is incorrect
>>739701860and now you know why they delayed the game for several months to add the accessibility bandaids
>>739701860He's always been full of shit. He'll play MGS on Very Easy and use the EZ Gun and complain the game is too easy. He'll play the Braid world that never lets you operate objects from right-to-left, waste crucial keys on doors that way, then complain there was "no way to tell". He'll play military games and cry becacuse it reminds him of fascism
wtf happened to my boyAAAAAAHHHHHHGRGHH
>>739701860>reviewed nine sols positively then admitted months later that he never actually beat the final boss>made an entire video about getting filtered out of finishing silksong by the forum gauntlet and lace 2>lace fucking 2
>>739707567Yahtzee couldn’t even figure out who the monster was in Amnesia: the Bunker despite it being shouted at you from contextual clues alone.
>>739701860>game journalist is bad at videogamesAnd now, the weather.
>>739701149>UK -> Australia -> CaliforniaWhat went wrong?
>>739706361he's referring to gamer dads
>>739706361no it's completely correct, since the sentence is referring to normal journalist behavior in a generic sense, not yahtzee specifically
>>739701149So if this game flops that means the company goes under right?
>>739709186It won't flop(you have read this in Rusty voice)
>>739707567Dies your ability to play vidya just nosedive once you turn 40?
>>739710392When you turn 40 you stop enjoying things, vidya included.
>>739701149...but it hasn't come out?
>>739706361He's referring to a plural of journalists and gamer dads. His grammar is correct, you fucking retard.
Wait, this guy has been jerking off Souls games for years since doing a 180 after being criticized for not liking Demon's Souls, and now he's back to bitching about games being too hard? Pick a side, jackass.
>>739701860He's been like that for years, I remember that in Zero Punctuation he had ~4 days to beat a game fo a review.Simply facing games like a job makes it exactly that; turns playing games into a chore.
>>739701860why does this post have so much seething responses
>>739701149I feel like Yahtzee has been playing and reviewing hot garbage recently, but his takes have also been garbage recently so I have no sympathy for him.
I'm still buyedghtening albeith :/
>>739711829baste an saym
>>739701149Ahhh yes I sure love the only trick of some faggot who has been doing the same lame schtick for 15+ years and stopped being funny 10 years ago.
>>739701860>>739701149>his main criticism tacked at the end of the praise and saying it's goodthat means he really liked it
>>739712841His reviews are really formulaic.>describe thing in 10 odd rapidly said word>then describe thing exactly the same changing one worHe's done this same joke for 15 years>Shovel Knight, a very authentic-seeming, retro-styled 8-bit game with a core mechanic revolving mostly around digging? You make Mina the Hollower, a very authentic-seeming, retro-styled 8-bit game with a core mechanic revolving mostly around digging, but now you're a mouse.
>>739713606good for him, he's still a retard
>>739701149>Oh yeah… that came out…it has not. I just looked. Why lie
>>739713943Not for him, for Mina. Obviously it's good for the devs to get good reviews before the game is released.
>>739707567>>739706648>>739701860He never got past 2* quests in Tri, just let how fucking absurd that is sink in
>>739701860His optional content video was pretty much that. I'm lately starting to lose respect for him and can barely consider him above a comedian. Let's be honest, a huge part of the charm of the videos are funny drawings and some roasting here and there, his jokes rarely land>>739707567Came to post this, on top of that, he considered putting Nine Sols on his 2nd best game of 2024I also suspect he was on a bad ending playthrough, since he claimed to not understand the story or the meaning of the relationship with Shuanshuan. So he probably rushed the game through and didn't do any side-quest
>90% of the review is just describing the gameWow epic opinion there retard
>>739714574Tri is fucking shit. So if anything that's a plus. But why would I be interested in anyone's opinion? The only thing I'm interested in, is why the fuck don't the backers have their keys?
>>739707567>silksong is just like dark souls 2, a sequel that had problems because compared to dark souls 1, the engine or combat system wasn't built to handle multiple enemies, only 1v1 duelshis silksong was physically painful to sit through, it was just one retard point after another
yatzee has stated that he never replays games, how the how could anyone give a shit what someone like that says
Why aren’t there 3 reviews a day if his reviews are just a Wikipedia description?
I stopped giving a shit about this dude when he complained that Persona 3 Reload wasn't "Persona 5"
>>739716778He has important other business to take care of.
>>739707567i think a large part of that is that he has like 3 days to play a game before he has to write his script every week. he just doesnt have a lot of time for longer games or games that you need to throw yourself at a boss a dozen times to learn the pattern
>>739717116then he should stop being a reviewer, or review less gameswhat kind of review is that, seriously? >yeah i only played a bit but it took too long for my video schedule so i'll just say it's shit, i don't knowit's like the definition of biased
>>739715821>>739716842I knew he'd lost it when he sucked off Blue Prince as some sort of genuis masterpiece. Which really is one of those "puzzle game for morons" type game. One where a game journalist can just power through it without actually having to solve anything because it's not actually a puzzle game.It makes dummies feel smart and they think saying it's brilliant makes them look smart.
yt "reviewers" trying to be comedians yet never being funny
>>739717295Isn't Blue Prince a game meant to be replayed a lot where your first playthrough serves as a "tutorial"?
>>739701149The sprite is 100 times hotter than the drawn art
>>739717610yacht club's drawn art is fucking terrible, its so stale and wonky
>>739717295Blue Prince's puzzle mechanics are clever. They aren't hard but they are clever. You clearly didn't play it lmfao. It is by no means a revolutionary game or particularly unique. Just that it has clever puzzles and a LOT of them in a single game, that makes it unique.
>>739717758I did play it and completed the house. Sorry you have shit taste. I was promised a puzzle game, what I got was a roguelite. One "puzzle" was a safe and in the room was a picture of Christmas. I entered 2512 and it opened. This game is for fucking morons, I actually felt insulted. Most of the puzzles that aren't one room insults to your intelligence are pure RNG shit like getting the stuff you need for the garage.Go on, name a "puzzle mechanic" that was clever. I'll take it with an open mind. It's satisfying when things go right but never once did I feel mentally engaged. Maybe it's you who doesn't play puzzle games
>>739716450>>silksong is just like dark souls 2Did he fucking said it? Lmao i posted that as a ragebait on steam forums before it even released
>>739717550its a randomized roguelike where every room is the same puzzle again and the matter of whether or not you have the item that solves the puzzle is RNG.
So from what i gather the only real criticism for the game is that it's too soulslike for zelda fans but too retro looking for souls fansOh and the healing system is some dumbass hybrid between estus and rally system from BB.
>>739704225>>739711069OP is John Titor
>>739716450fuck you, I got brain cancer from that comment
>>739718575>>739723225same video had footage of him fighting the cogwork dancers and they dropped rosaries, so he even went out of his way to mod the game to make it easier, although conveniently he never seems to mention that anywhere
>>739701860watching his streams is depressing, he's so low energy and miserable and just doesn't care about what he's playing, I'm glad I never became a journalist
>>739707567Most people are not going to bother 100%ing Silksong. The game gets boring and bloated as fuck even by the second act. If the game had literally just been the first act and ended with The Last Judge, it would have been a far better game with a much more reasonable runtime. I dropped the game right after I saw the credits roll and never looked back. Also, yeah sure the 100% bosses are harder, but you have all the upgrades, much more experience, and a much better grasp of the combat system, so there's a good chance the Forum Gauntlet is going to be the most difficult thing most people encounter because they are still unprepared and inexperienced.
>>739701860He turned into a complete faggot after moving to California and getting married, like a lot of men
>>739717116This would be a legitimate complaint if he hadn't also complained in the exact same Silksong video that he spent hours on the forum gauntlet. Like motherfucker, this isn't the final boss after you've 100%d the game, if shit isn't working then move on until you find something that does. You can't bang your head on the same fight for hours and then immediately whine that you don't want to look for stuff because you have shit to do.
>>739702114where?
>>739723927I don't believe that you've actually played Silksong at all schizo-kun
>>739724459I've beat both Silksong and Hollow Knight, never bothered for 100% in either. I don't hate Silksong, it's a good game, I just find it way too long and bloated.
>Yahtzee shat on Demon Souls in a review>later didn't even do a review for Dark Souls, just made an article about how it was too hard>Dark Souls started getting popular>he fucking backpedaled and made a review to suck it offAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>739724574>I don't hate Silksong, it's a good game>wishes 2/3 of it got cut even though he didn't even bother engaging with the last 1/3right
>>739724657He made up the PC master race to mock annoying elitists, then actually started taking it seriously and pretended he actually meant it
>>739718319>Go on, name a "puzzle mechanic" that was clever>no reponse
Money well spent! A shame it's three years late tho
>>739726347Do you get a mouse onahole or something? What's the reward?
>>739726347That's nothing, pic related was supposed to be a month long project he sold for $5 and now it's two years late.
>>739726697all this stuff
>>739726981post the wallpaper!! every time you post it yacht club games loses money!
>>739727053YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT JPGSTOPFUCKING STOP
>>739726953Why are there so many LADX clones? What kind of adult man goes to Steam and looks for an overpriced Game Boy game?
I can't stress enough how bad that review was. He literally just read the Steam description verbatim, complained about getting lost in an EXPLORATION-BASED GAME and then the video ended. It was the laziest excuse for journalism I have ever seen. Fucking IGN put more thought and effort into their review. Fully Ramblomatic isn't even entertaining to watch anymore because the animatics aren't shocking and this stupid faggot avoids any edgy humor possible. What are we DOING, man? The Internet is so fucking gay and the retards at Second Wind get mad money for making actual fucking slop, just to then turn around and virtue signal about AI and own the chuds or whatever the fuck.
>>739727536He very likely has ties to the company and made it as inoffensive as possible.
>>739707567It was getting burnt out on the gank fights that made him lose enthusiasm over bothering to keep playing more-so than the actual boss fight itself. I had the same issue where I lost all willpower to keep going in Act 3, not because I hit a specific brick wall but because I finally got past a series of brick walls and just felt more pissed and tired of playing than anything.
Yatzee's such a weird case of a reviewer being the exact same in format, structure and staff for literal decades yet somehow degrading in quality. Simple background with basic shapes on top, once a week, by the same guy yet his actual opinions have somehow degraded to the most basic-bitch GameSpot journo tier.I can't tell if he's just lost interest in the field, or if it's age and the new burdens it brings, or if he's just lost the spark somewhere along the way but it weirds me out because it's pretty hard to say "there, this is the video where he fell off and never came back".Maybe his audience has just outgrown him? What was cool and funny and edgy when (You) were 19 might not be as cool and funny and edgy when you're balding and approaching 40.
>>739727536>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8b5hTeaE4oTheir indie game showcase has 2 mentions of the Patreon. Look at all these indie games but make sure to have $5 left so you can support this independent gaming outlet.
when you become a dad you become kind of a basic bitchit's just science
>>739726347>>739726981For that price I'd rather get an actual blowjob from Mina
>>739728826be reasonable, that would kill her
>>739701149Who watches this guy anymore
>>739727813The first part of the problem is, imo, that he's become terribly predictable. Remember his Persona 5 review, where he admitted to for the first time actually enjoying a turn-based traditional JRPG? That may have been the last time he actually kinda surprised me. Most of his current stuff I can usually guess his opinion on before he even says it which makes for boring content.The second part is simply that you can tell he's simply degrading into a fanboy. He'll praise what he likes with vague nothing-words like immersion, tactile or emergent and beat games he doesn't like with often valid criticism, revealing a bias towards brands, studios and franchises.Third part is just politics. He's drank the koolaid and become a hyper lefty who can't stand the thought of anyone or anything disagreeing with him and will pull really weird "hope your whole family dies for voting for a politician in a country I don't live in" lines in his video game review.
>>739726953This is why they need a tardwrangling publisher
>>739728986apparently not, she's like 3 and a half feet tall, she's not mouse sized
>>739730223mmm, no? much rather a game takes twice as long if it guarantees it's twice as good. it's not like there's a shortage of games to play. you have a backlog, don't lie to me.
Have any of the reviews talked about how long the game is? Obviously hoping it isn't bloated, but I'm interested to hear if it feels content rich enough to be worth it too.
wait wait, hang on, what if mina... was cool?
>>739732623It's about 10-20 hours, depending how much you fuck around
>Start a video game review show>Use it to do nothing but shit on video gamesWhy?
>>739732714He did a couple videos, and then got hired by Escapist to do more, because people liked said couple videos. He's been riding that gravy train since.
It looks. Like. Fucking. SHITWhy did they spend so much time to make a game look like the GBC Zelda which also look fucking terrible? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6UBTpg3Oxt4And on top of that, the accessibility options don't make the game better, it just makes it messier and opinions of people more suspect.
>>739732649Holy sex
>>739717758nta but i played it and thought it was very boring and lame as far as puzzle games go. Didn't understand the hype on launch and thought you all were stupid for liking it, so I forced myself to play it a year later like I do with everything this board gives its attention to just to know for sure and yep, it was mediocre as shit. Go play an actual good puzzle game like the witness or a zachtronic game.
>>739705678Ideally it's as minimal as possible and you don't have thirdie IQ so you can figure out how to use the tools you've been given rather than yellow paint and long tutorials everywhere.
>>739732758I think it looks alright, not bad but not like top tier graphical stuff, it worksAlso you can just play with the default settings
>>739732862People who play with the settings on aren't gonna rant and raise their voices then and make the game under go changes inspired by the fandom for a more cinematic none gameplay experience. good, good.
>>739701860I think I first realized he was retarded when he admitted to getting filtered by the little grey sponge aliens in Samus Returns.
>>739732862>I think it looks alright, not bad but not like top tier graphical stuff, it worksWorks for whomst? Shovel Knight looked great, using and also bypassing the limitations of the NES era. There's just nothing appealing about this look for me and it's insane they decided to target such a niche audience (Not only Zelda fans, but fans of the fucking GBC games.)And the last thing Zeldafags want to do as well is play an actually difficult game >Also you can just play with the default settingsWhich is the default? Normal? Hard? Hardest?Is Hardest even fair or just poorly designed meme shit?
>>739701860To be fair, I do wish the game had a rudimentary map right away. You do unlock one eventually, but it's more for checking how much stuff is left in each area.
>>739725092He didn't make that up, he ripped it off from the Your Console Sucks subforum on Something Awful where he ripped off just about everything else he did
>>739732991Usually "normal" is the default intended experience for most games
>>739732991>Which is the default? Normal? Hard? Hardest?The game doesn't present you with any normal/hard/hardest option. You just start a save without enabling anything.
>>739732991>nothing appealing about this look for me(you) problem.Everyone else thinks it looks cute
>>739732758should've gone for a more detailed style. GBC blockiness looks bad on a bigger screen
>>739732758GBC Zeldas used color better than that though, and this game probably wouldn't run on a GBC or even a GBA because bad coding
>>739732649She looks like she got lessons on how to be cool.
>>739733202Abso-lutly
>>739733164>and this game probably wouldn't run on a GBC or even a GBA because bad codingSorry, but I couldn't help but chuckle at this
>>739727536he always goes easy on "indie" devs
I hate that all the terrain is fucked up, floating bits with huge holes and moving platforms between. Either that or hallways covered with spikes. It doesn't look like ground anyone would ever walk on. Doesn't even look like a dungeon anyone would construct. It looks like gamey bullshit.
>>739724657His piece on Dark Souls mentioned he didnt get past the Taurus Demon in his first attempt and nothing so far had given him any indication that the game would be anything more than a hallway of "hah, gotcha" game design. Only a year later the pressure for viewers was so high that he tried it again and powered past Taurus Demon and got to, you know, the place where the game actually opens up he likened it to SotN.
>>739733364What's the point of making mechanics for a video game if you don't design areas with those mechanics in mind?
>>739732991>normal is boring and clanking up the difficulty means two years to kill a sewer rat>just balance your own game chudsyeah, I get that
>>739723807he needs gabriel back in his life
>>739733654he's got wife and kids, written books, made video games that people have liked, and people regularly tune in to watch whatever he makesdon't think a love affair with gabe would do much
>>739724657I don't like the guy but this argument has always been bullshit, he doesn't do shit for popularity really, but all the glazing made him give it a fair shot and he realized it was awesome and said he was unfair to demon's soulsNow he needs to apologize for tri, because what the fuck.
So is Mina a girl? She looks like one but no eye lashes or other discernable features makes it difficult. Hopefully it isn't just a lame "THEY COULD BE LE BOY OR LE GIRL OR... LE NEITHER?!" cop out.
>>739735540esl? mina is a girl's name.
>>739701149I Lov Mina
>>739706361GOOOOOOOOD MORNING SARR
>>739732991>they decided to target such a niche audience (Not only Zelda fans, but fans of the fucking GBC games.)As a huge fan of specifically the GBC Zelda games Mina's gameplay does not appeal to me. I do not want to play a 2D Souls game when I boot up a Zelda clone
>>739735540Girl. Maybe a boy later in the game.
>>739735540if she was a boy it'd be called mino the hallower
>>739735540has anyone drawn mina as mina ha from deadlock yet
>>739724986Yes, act 1 was great and it was downhill from there, didn't bother with act 3 as I was bored by the end of act 2.What do you not comprehend you fucking autistic retard?
>>739701149not a single anon paying attention to the fact he was playing a review copy, and would probably mitigate the shit talking to maintain a good standing with the devs
Second Wind is gonna die, the same way The Escapist died. Fully Ramblomatic is the only series that gets decent views, all the other series are dime-a-dozen video essay garbage and the rest of the crew has zero charisma. I miss the LP's he did with Gabe, back before he became a massive faggot.
>>739730863>they finally added her husband into the game>he's an effeminate faggotWell, beggars can't be choosers I guess
>>739736953>good standing with the devsso he wouldn't get a free copy of their next game, 12 years later? lol
>>739736953Reviewers usually get review copies, how shocking. That hasn't stopped him from shitting on games in the past
>>739736953are we still pulling out this pathetic gamergate cope?Almost every single review in the world is a review copy, and do you think the only other big gaming site besides IGN or kotaku is concerned about this studio thats made 2 games in over a decades release cadence hurting their reviews?
>>739715821How do you fuck up the story of nine sols? It's a ten hour linear fucking game.
>>739701860It's crazy to imagine I heard about demon's souls from his review
>>739701149Oh, I thought it wasn't coming out for another few days.Kind of weird that the totally natural and organic threads died out as soon as it released.
>>739738503It will only release tomorrow
>>739726953I'm much more forgiving towards a one man indie dev trying his best to make something cool compared to a big studio with many people working on it that do a kickstarter just to make some extra money on the side
>>739705678Modern Tutorials are shit though, always swamping you and when you need them they are nowwhere to be found since most games lack documentation. Having everything explained in the options and an optional Tutorial zone is much better then pop up hell.
>>739701860>surely yahtzee wouldn't complain he has to pay attention to a fucking game>watch review and he actually says "not all of us have a good sense of direction or can remember where we've been" this is why aaa is braindead nowcan we just stop taking the opinions of dad gamers seriously? just feed them a heavy supply of balls and guns games, let them play bethesda games and fifa for the rest of time so we stop getting complaints that boil down to "it made me use my brain"
Reminder that Mina the Hollower is scientifically better than your favorite game that came out this yr
>>739739142That doesn't mean I should like it though.
>>739739198well if you dont you're a fuckin retard and wrong
Shovel Knight sucked it was just nostalgia bait for millennials that said I haven't actually played it
>>739739142My brain is scientifically better if you can't formulate your own scores.
>>739717214Not to mention his videos are barely 5 minute long with a third of the lenght, if not more, taken up by drawn out jokes, what kind of serious review can you make in that ammount of time? I like him but he has always been an entertainer first and foremost.
Game is bad because I have kids.Game is good because it lets me complete repetitive tasks automatically and I can listen to a podast.
jim won
>>739701149"Oh yeah... that faggot still makes videos..."
Fluffy mouse pits.
>>739707567I didn't do Eigong phase 3 yet, only the normal ending. Is my gamer card revoked? Am I game journalist tier?I also didn't do Henry in NMH yet, I think age is catching up on me.
>>739741356Yes, I'm afraid so.It's not that much harder, if you beat her other phases you can do it, get back in there.
>>739705678Yes
>>739741452I'm very much taking it personally when I get one hit or almost one hit killed by absolute bullshit I cannot possibly avoid unless I know the timing/spacing/move to use in a very tight window. It's the same for Henry with his bullshit sword move triggering a cutscene where you get killed if you didn't back off and memorize the frame perfect moment you must dodge. There's a good challenge and then there's stupid shit made for the sake of breaking my balls. "yeah do the entire fight again so you can have another chance at dodging the bullshit that can kill you in a blink". Nah man.
>>739732991You keep shilling this game and it's not gonna work, anon-chama.
>>739741248PLease. Zhi's called Jimantha now. Have some respect you little shit
>>739741356As long as you don't write a review of the game before beating Eigong's 3rd phase, you're fine.
Can we put a mina thread in /vg/ after release ? I don't want to share a thread with seething /v/tards
Soon, the rat sex....https://files.catbox.moe/4kbsw6.png
>>739742334she's a MOUSE
>>739742585Pocket pussy shaped
>>739741593are you complaining about the wave attack? try jumping over it, extend your airtime with a dodge
>>739701149It comes out tomorrow I thought.
>>7397427454 and a half hours
>>73974280617 hours
>>739742821Wtf. But its the 29th for me in 4 and a half hours... ausbros...
>>739742913soz man. steam page says 17 hours.Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.I'm still waiting to see how I get my kickstarter key anyway?
What was wrong with the demo that the devs fixed during the last delay?
>>739701860Last thing he was right about was Chie being best girl, although he's not the type to even consider the others.
>>739730863>standing blowjob height
>>739743098The only thing I didn't like about the demo was how slow it felt to move around. But since then I have learned that the devs deliberately wanted the game to feel slow, with an emphasis on timing and positioning rather than fluid responsive action game feel. I respect this though and am excited for Mina enough that I can put that little grievance aside and adapt.
>>739726981Oh, the game design document is in book form? I thought it'd be a pdf
>>739730863who is this chode ? better not be playable. i want surprise 2nd act with playable thorne instead.
>>739701149this style was better. no i dont care why he changed it.
>>739701149LolLmao

>>739737973To be fair, I found the story confusing and difficult at first. But that's kind of the whole point of the game, it's not until near the game where everything comes together and starts clicking and making senseI suppose Yatzee wasn't paying attention because he wanted to be done with the game and he barely brought any gifts to Shuanshuan. Which is why I suspect he was on a bad ending playthrough because he didn't interpret the story further than a revenge story and claimed to not understand the relationship between both characters>>739741356Yes, git gudI know you can do it anonIf you don't find it fun, it's because you haven't tried hard enough. You have to experience this, it will be worth it and you will fell good about yourself once you achieve it

>>739701149IGN gave this a 10 btw.
>>739743230>the devs deliberately wanted the game to feel slow, with an emphasis on timing and positioning rather than fluid responsive action game feel.Dark Souls and its consequential brainwashing of every single gamedev has been such a disaster on videogames.
>>739701149LET ME BUY THE RAT ALREADY REEEEEEE
>>739701149>>739744661Is it just me or is the gameplay really boring? I don't care about the graphics and other stuff. It's just really not offering much in the entertainment category.
>>739744731I mean, I guess, but I don't feel as pessimistic about it. They said they wanted to avoid making another parryslop action game, and I kinda get that. Their choice as the devs, who actually made it, should come first.
>>739744927Shovel Knight is a pretty boring game, too. It's a decent game, and for some reason people loved the idea of using the NES color palette as if it were some revolutionary concept (when the Japanese do this kind of thing, nobody seems to care), but at the end of the day, it’s a mediocre game.
>>739745315mina already has an advantage because i prefer the gameplay style and I like the protagonist more. i enjoyed SK a bit, though I was never a huge fan of it.

>>739748575Gosh, you're right. Difficulty settings with fun names really are problematic. All games should automatically lower their difficulty so small children and the disabled can beat them, and not tell the player so they think they're doing well. Also it's 2026, why are we still calling the lowest difficulty "easy" when that word is demeaning to women?
>>739748052Yeah. Maybe I saved it from one of those threads.

>>739712841Man, that Warfighter video really hit a nerve, huh.
>>739747931>There is nothing wrong with thatActually, there is.The thing is, 99% of "content creators" covering video games online are just normalfags. They see video games primarily as a form of audiovisual entertainment, an alternative to Netflix or something like that.Imagine if you were to watch someone whose whole life revolves around commenting on the quality of classic games (chess, backgammon, etc.) but who doesn't know how to play any of them, and uses the excuse that, to get good at these games, he'd need to practice a lot... Of course, everyone would agree that there's something wrong with that, just as there's something wrong with these normalfaggot YouTubers who can't see video games as games to be learned and mastered, but only as cultural producits to be consumed and discarded.
>>739716649>yatzee has stated that he never replays gamesWell that's a fucking lie, he went on about replaying HL1 to the point where he's memorized it, to say nothing of all his PS2 darlings.

>>739750049at a certain point you'll have to accept that most videogames aren't art and the industry doesnt want to produce anything but a netflix alternative to suck your time and money up.Its better to diversify your hobbies so you only have to enjoy the quality releases in them and not engage with the tidal waves of slop they all put out now.
>>739726981If I'm paying 500, Mina better come and ride my dick.
>>739750301Actual video game discussion triggers me
>>739750517I mean to be fair, I think if I am picking difficulty modes I would like to know what the differences are between them.Do enemies do more damage? Do they have more health?It's kind of retarded to have to go look up shit because the devs can't be fucked to include that shit by default.And people are retards who continue to force themselves to play on higher difficulties even if they don't enjoy it - the fact that people feel patronised by it is stupid but true I guess.Dynamic difficulty is worst of all though - I feel that at some point game just lets me win instead of me actually getting better to beat it. And if I do too well, games like modern resident evil just turn retarded.That being said - while I think Yahtzee is still bread earner for Second Wind, his content is probably the worst channel has. It's kind of clear he barely tries to engage with games the plays and tries to play off complaints with "but i played so many more games than you" like a fag.The age caught up to him.
>>739750517Like how >>739751279 said, there can be a communication mismatch between the game and the player, in terms of what the different difficulty levels entail. I don't mind having options, but I'd still like to know what it actually means if I choose between normal or hard, as in some games it can be a game changer (game meaningfully changes between difficulties), while in others it's just boring quickly slapped number changes. The only ableist or whatever snowflakey part can be calling out the player for picking a lower (or maybe even higher) difficulty. It's not that big of a deal in my opinion, but with how gaming discourse is nowdays, I imagine it's better to not stir any shitposting fuel. The public opinion if games should have difficulty options, be more accessible, or whatever the fuck jumps back and forth like every other week, depending on which crowd is talking (casuals? hardcore arcade veterans? pro esports gamers? outsiders looking in?). There's just no winning whichever side you take, because someone is always bound to be complaining. Developers should just focus on making the game they want to make, and decide for themselves if it should include difficulty options in the mix or not.Adaptive difficulty has been done a lot in games (I think shmups were some of the first games to implement it), but there can be something patronizing about the game just giving you a free pass after you've failed enough. Like I enjoyed Nine Sols' final boss because I had to buckle down and learn it, an adaptive difficulty would've just made the boss baby mode after a while, which wouldn't be as satisfying.
>>739751279>Do enemies do more damage? Do they have more health?This basic bitch "difficulty" setting is shit. It would be much better if they made higher difficulties make NPC AI smarter or more aggressive, make hurtboxes larger and hitboxes smaller, make enemies faster, etc. Don't just turn everything into a damage sponge.
>>739750301Give it a week and this flop will be completely forgotten
>>739732649Gib blog.
>>739750517>>739751279>>739752142since we're on the topic, what are your thoughts on difficulty options in general? I like the fromsoft way of doing things, where it's technically the same across all players but there are many strategies or things one player could use to make the experience harder or easierI remember I was reading some arguments in a certain website around that mio metroidvania a while back, and I kept seeing the idea that "more options are always better" and that players should customize absolutely everything and all that, and to a certain extent I get that, I know there's games like dishonored, invisible inc, rimworld and many others with a ton of sliders you can tweak to get exactly the difficulty settings that you wantbut I don't know, part of me also feels like that's a bit cheap if that makes any sense? like yeah I get that it's an interactive medium and all but I feel like you kinda should figure that one out as a developer. I mean I think back to E33, if you do the extra content, the main game becomes piss trivial, but hey there are sliders to go 10x or 100x on enemy health, how very customizable! but idk I feel like they're passing the buck to the player, like you were too lazy to balance your own game properly and now you're making the player's job to do soin a way it's kind of ironic, players fight amongst themselves, calling each other casuals or elitists, as if it is their responsibility to balance the game when it should be the complete opposite and the onus should be on the people that actually made it in my opinion

>>739744927NES Castlevania combat can only go so far.
>>739753530bot post?
>>739753181I like the way original Team Ninja did it in Ninja Gaiden with stronger, more aggressive new enemies replacing the old ones entirely that aren't necessarily hp sponges but can kill you quicker while having tougher patterns than lower difficulty modes.>>739753530It's NES (well, more like the GBC) Zelda combat, NES Castlevania was a pure side scroller
>>739753530>>739753721The jump/dig gimmick is a chore to play. It's a waste of time.The game would have been much better with a simple 2D zelda jump only.
>>739753897bot post.
>>739753181I like slider style difficulty options in sandboxey games because you're kind of supposed to create your own adventure/campaign/whatever. In story heavy games this is absolutely retarded though and it just shows the devs have no clue how they want to balance the game.
>>739751279>his content is probably the worst channel hasyou are ACTUALLY retarded if you think Yahtzee is the worst that channel has to offertook my fucking vpn off to post this cause you're that fucking wrong
>>739705678that's how it used to be back in the day, you learn from experimentinghowever, it is not useful if you're multiple games as a reviewer under a deadline
>>739753530>No sidearms
>>739753897You haven't even played the fucking game
>>739753941I'm a bot?>>739754039I played the demo. Hated it. The gameplay is fucking garbage while everything else is great.
>>739753530>Create Shoel Knight, kino that looks good and can even run on an actual NES cartridge>Move to California>Shit out thisSo where did all the money go?
>>739754085So you judge the entire game by an old demo of it? DMC1's combat also feels like shit in the beginning, because you have no moves or weapons to actually experiment with, and the enemies don't do anything.
>>739754237Yes, I judge the game by what the devs released to the public to make us purchase the game.DMC is garbage too. Stupid autistic juggling. Just kill basic enemies in two hits max and be done with it.
>>739754317So what is good combat, in your opinion?
>>739754085>I'm a bot?Considering that you replied to that other anon within 55 seconds it seems pretty likely
>>739754170>can even run on an actual NES cartridgeholy retard
>>739753181I feel that if they let players customise absolutely everything, they sort of are leaving to players to actually design the fun. It's easy way to cheapen out on actual playesting and how mechanics interact with each other. I think sandbox games are sort of exception here. Or maybe if game is actually well designed and tested and just has extra options for fun, but I fully expect the devs to cheapen out where possible because in the end they will have to also test for all those difficulty options.
>>739753181more options are better, even nintendo thinks so. that's why they have a timeline save systempeople on here say otherwise but play games with quicksaves or save states via pc or emulator. Multiple options are really only a problem if you want to be an authoritative voice on it. Like, if you play on easy mode and claim that the game is flawed because of it
>>739751279I was always disappointed that jack never tried to get Yahtzee to guest on RLM or vice versa. They’re all Gen X assholes who got lucky being old enough to be young on the internet when it was new enough for their views to be seen and respected by young idiots but have never evolved along with it
>>739754375Link's Awakening was pretty much perfect for this type of game>>739754430git gud
>>739701149>zelda clonei'll just play zelda then...
>>739754001I am not the biggest fan of that guy or agree with him much, but I'll take somebody at least trying to engage with game and trying to analyse how things work over yahtzee just doing the bare minimum to shit out formulaic review, where it's clear he barely tried the game.
>>739753721Zelda combat gave you a charge attack and the 3DS Zeldas gave you diagonal attacks. You shouldn't have to pick a worse weapon to get the charge attack back.
I bought
>>739753181I just dislike saying that there is a superior way to do it like these cunts keep doing. The DMC 3 style is already fine. Game is designed around normal and it gives the player the option to pick easy after fucking up after a couple of times.
>>739755197If you actually follow this credo (which I know you don't) you must be constantly replaying the same handful of games
>>739755145>Link's AwakeningThat game's combat was basic as shit. There's not even anything to talk about, you can spin to win in pretty much all situations, there's no depth whatsoever.
>>739701149>>739754001What's the deal with this channel and heckin pupperinos?
>>739745973Tattoo kino
>>739756342Yup, which makes it good.Combat is efficient and doesn't drag on forever.
>>739757332So good combat for you is one-hit-killing everything without any challenge?
>>739757467That's what bosses are for.There's no fun in having to dodge/parry/counter basic enemies.
>>739757578In that case, the accessibility mode is for you. Literally lets you ignore everything other than bosses.
>>739757813That's still a design flaw. They added those modes because they realized too late that the gameplay was dogshit and people hated it, but it was too deeply ingrained to be changed.
>>739757981I can't believe this is still relevanthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v5TM70Zr0g
>>739758110But he's right. There's a difference between an engaging challenge and the tedium of having to try hard against mooks that in the games that inspired this one are mostly just decoration. Skill level has nothing to do with it.
>>739705865He's talking about gamer/journalist syndrome in general you ding dong
>>739758256Sure, anon, sure.
>>739758110>>739758523But it's not hard, it's simply not fun at all.
>>739758575Whatever you say, anon.
>>739732758The visual are throwing me off a little.The foreground feels like NES or GBC, and the background feels like SNES or GBA.
I don't care what an eceleb has to say either way
>>739758769It's color depth. The background is more detailed than the foreground. Would be an issue if they were going for a realistic GBC look, but this is going for a vibe more than anything, so whatever.
>>739758256>he's
>>739755145You're a faggot who has shit opinions
>>739758523>>739758705>>739759205why are soulsfags so insufferable?
>>739701860Some of his criticisms do seem pretty valid to me, particularly the thing with water. If water causes your character to die instantly, you're probably going to find to one of two conclusions. Either you're going to start treating them like bottomless pits and avoid them at all cost or you're going to figure it's like Zelda and you need to get a special item to be able to swim (probably the latter actually due to the Zelda influence). You're probably not going to think of digging under it because, well, that'd be fucking retarded and wouldn't make sense.
>>739759013Yeah, like I can see that they're going for the "4 colors per sprite" thing, but you also need to have the right color depth. The background looks way too smooth compared to everything else, and even the "foreground" floor tiles have an inconsistent color depth when compared to entity sprites or even the UI.At this point they should've just went full-on GBA visuals.
>>739746678Sheep Lass (and Lad) do look really fun. That's why I don't mind how long Robin takes, as long as it releases eventually
>>739759703This style makes the character sprites stand out a lot, which is good for readability. Although I wouldn't mind a more detailed spriteset, maybe as a mod.
>>739728363>it's another "indie" event where you can only join by bribing the organizers or being popular enough to get invited>it's mediocre looking nostalgia bait like boomer shooters or outright clones of old games, clones of other indies (I saw an obligatory Disco Elysium and Hollow Knight clone in there), roguelikes, card games and farming games, wholesomeness optional Why, as an actual fucking indie dev, would I ever wanna join this shit over something like v3? Good god.

>>739701860Is this something that happens when you get a single child or something? You suddenly become mouthbreathing retarded with no joy or energy in your life? I noticed that a lot. A lot of men become these overdramatic whiny little faggots that can't even follow basic instructions anymore as soon as they either hit 30 or become father and I see it over and over again with internet personalities
>>739701149except it didn't come out? still 10 hours to go
>>739706648>>739747859I think it was the fourth gym he got stuck on in Pokemon Black. He also turned Persona 4 down to Very Easy because he thought the game wanted him to grind and didn't even realise the fusion mechanic really even existed. Let's not even get into the Gravity Rush 2 fiasco. That being said there are times where he is dead on about certain things. As much as this'll piss off Fromdrones his instincts were right about Demon's Souls just being a trial and error beat your head against the wall simulator, then of course his Soulsfaggot friend and all the others like him couldn't stand that someone wasn't part of the cult and browbeat him into liking them.
