1st, i hope that the next char for SC6 is Setsuka
2nd, i hope that her release is almost iinmidietely after her announcement.

And for fuck sake, announce and release the DBFZ chars already, and announce the next season of GBFVS

Echoing the sentiments said here. The game is crack. I havenā€™t put it down since release day and I havenā€™t finished it yet.

This is a Sony game. Thereā€™s no escaping the story.

Automatically writing off games that actually care about their narrative makes as much sense to me as automatically writing off games with any amount of turn based combat.

Iā€™m curious about how much content this game will launch with because it sounds like they put a third of the game in this beta.

Yes, I write off games based on my preferences.

Turns out its the adult thing to do.

Story driven games lose me when the actual gameplay isnā€™t engaging.

Last of us 1 being the first to come to mind and recent Shadow of the Tomb raider.

Thatā€™s a contrivance of what I actually said, but sure, nothing new there.

Iā€™m not sure what point you were trying to make. Plenty of people donā€™t wanna sit through turn based stuff. Are they supposed to play it just because somebody swears its gonna be good?

is Shovel Knight deliberately designed to have clunky unreponsive controls?

Holy shit this underwater level is fucking trash

Which is a problem Ghost of Tsushima does not have!!
Once you get to this opening sequenceā€¦

YOUā€™RE LOCKED IN AND READY FOR THE RIDE!!

My larger point is I just think itā€™s silly to write off a lot of really good games just because they have whatever amount of focus on the story. Itā€™s one thing to have a preference of genre. Not wanting to play games because theyā€™re turn based at least makes a little more sense to me.

I would argue the ā€œadultā€ thing would be having the patience to absorb and consume a narrative, if anything.

Not if thatā€™s not what heā€™s looking for. The man just want to play a game with the limited time he has.

That doesnā€™t even make any sense. The adult thing to do is to play games that donā€™t suit my tastes or time constraints?

LMAO

Last thing I wanna hear about in a game is w/e drama mofos are having in life. Gotta be in some really short bursts or I donā€™t care. Iā€™m loading up games for gameplay. Iā€™ll appreciate the story on the way there, but if i have an hour at the end of the day to play something, last thing I need is 30 minutes of voice acting that doesnā€™t involve me doing something.

Well, Iā€™m not the one that brought up the ā€œadultā€ pretense. I thought it was a pretty stupid stipulation to add to the conversation in the first place so, yeah, maybe you understand why now.

Dudes can play whatever games they want. I donā€™t like nor often have the time for RTS games, doesnt mean I havenā€™t had them surprise me from time to time. You canā€™t ever be surprised if you close the door on games before even trying them, is all Iā€™m saying.

I feel like the solution is pretty simple here thoughā€¦ Instead of not playing these types of games at all, how about I dunno, skipping the cutscenesā€¦?

Trying to even think of the last game I played that had cutscenes actually longer than 2 minutes tops. Probably Metal Gear V to be honest. :joy:

Tried that with Last of Us and was bored to fucking tears.

Being story driven is fine, but donā€™t make me watch a movie. Keep the gameplay fun and engaging or itā€™s wack.

Well, you didnā€™t enjoy the gameplay, and thatā€™s fine.

What you didnā€™t do is start up a story driven game and then complain about it being story driven. Which is whatā€™s being discussed.
