Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

Whatever helps you sleep at night bro. I don’t care if you don’t like this thing or that thing. I just want you to stop being a Po about it is all. shrug

Oh, nice one cheers.

So I tried out the demo for an Anthology game called Faith. It has ZX Spectrum/Atari style graphics but ngl it hit me with some chills. Gameplay is extremely simple but some of the scary moments are really great. If anyone gives it a try, pause the game when you meet an enemy…

I got to give this a hard look.

Somebody is making a pixel version of Bloodborne called Yharntown… (I refuse to spell it wrong like they did)

Talk about a game I never knew I wanted…

If this was Po, his outcrys would not echo others sentiments.
It be mostly FUCK this, FUCK that. I pointed out what I liked and didn’t like.
There some good. But there some baffling bad choices too.

Like Destiny 2? Why in a show case of new games do they bring back something from 2017?
I felt it was to fill the time line, trying to win people with brand recognition than to present something new. Some people on the commentary of the MVG stream called it a smart move. I disagreed, but you gotta show what you got.

I felt the whole stream was like MS has all theses projects (for the Xbox X), they are unassembled on the table rather than having anything finished and showed what they have, as the truth is they really got nothing new for next gen for the next two years.

I gave it a hard look, a real hard look. I tried to be objective, and I didn’t like what I really saw.
I gave it a chance and my opinions didn’t change.

I thinknits super dope for when it was made. Had a lot “progressive” ideas like aiming up and down and shit. Had a really “deep” story for the time.

It’s a cool game if you take into account when it was made and that it was an Apple FPS.

That’s a really good question, I honestly dont know. I should hope Bungie owns it since MS had absolutly nothing to do with it, game was an Apple platform game after all. Was ported to 360 but I don’t know what that might indicate as far as ownership is concerned.

I hope By for still owns it, it’s theirs.

I think that is why Bungie never went with tying the two IP together beyond conceptional ideas.

Looking closely at Falconeer, it has Panzer Dragoon vibes. Cool.

Overall I think the showcase was wack as fuck.

Interested in the Not Skyrim game, but majority didn’t even show gameplay to get me invested.

Oh that’s pretty, but what genre is it, what’s the gameplay loop?

Really disappointing.

Also that Halo peak? How could you make the first showing oh it’s gameplay so boring? :joy:

To be fair, that’s a killer deal. With an Xbox Game Pass, players have access to everything up to Shadowkeep and will get Beyond Light when it launches in November. And they are going to optimize the game for the new console and players who already have it get the free upgrade, AND can stream D2 on their smartphones.

If they keep this deal going it seems like the next three expansions are going to be included with Game Pass. That’s not bad at all and if I still played the game as much as I used to, it would be hard to pass that up. I’m sure it’s going to look and perform great on the new console.

To be totally fair, Po had some good points.

It wasn’t always his message that got annoying, it was how he felt the incessant need to tell everyone about it at every turn, and only took into account his own hatred.

“Halo was never creative and no one ever liked it for anything but the multiplayer” makes me feel like you don’t understand or care what actually appealed to people about those games. Just an attempt to dog MS.

“They’re showing off Destiny 2 loool” makes me feel like you’re biased, because where was this same criticism when Sony was showing off GTAV as launch title…? Just an attempt to dog MS.

“Who wants to watch this MS shitshow” is just a clear as day projection of your bias. There’s no problem watching and giving it a chance, and clearly there are people who ARE excited to see this stuff. Just another attempt to dog MS.

Just some examples of why I think you’re being a Po about it. We even agree on some of this stuff, but just like Po, I can’t get down with the rhetoric.

Also also I refuse to get hype for Fable until I see gameplay. It’s gonna be treated like vaporware the same way I did kingdom hearts 3 and FFXV. I’m done getting got by franchise follow ups that took way too long and drop mediocre products. That shit is played out and happening too often.

If I had more than the intro Story Cut scene to go on.
But I believe everything Obsidian doing at the moment aren’t MS exclusives as they have all prior agreements that has to be honored first.

Cut scenes are nice and all, but I want to see the game play, is it a open world RPG or a hack and slash linear game with levels, RTS, you know something to make more of an opinion on.

people cared about the game play, with Halo 2 it was very much the local lan support.
I said I liked Reach, and enjoyed that. Didn’t care for Halo 3.

No you are just salty that my opinions don’t align with yours and you are hung up on how I never an Fan of Xbox.

Again, whatever helps you sleep at night. Deflecting my actual point to follow some made up narrative in your head is standard Po tech. I’m used to it.

You have no point to make. You just want to bitch for the sake of bitching.
My earlier posts where discussing a stream while it was happening, a stream you admit you didn’t watch.

You just want to focus that I didn’t like it despite others feeling the same way.
So get the fuck out of here with this garbage.

Ok.

It was the best game of the show :man_shrugging: It’s coming to PS4 and Switch in Asia, too :+1:

Awe look. He’s even adding more depth and character to the narrative now. That’s cute.

What narrative?

You know what, I am done with your Fan boy ass.
You are bringing nothing to the discussion, you want to focus on only one thing.
And frankly I am sick of your one track mind.

It wasn’t terrible… Just no big ‘new’ or surprising show stoppers.

The Balan game actually looks ok but that action mascot groove isn’t as bankable as it once was even with Yuji there. The other games looked nice but just don’t have the show stopper bank. That being said, outside of Miles Morales getting a spin-off game we haven’t had that in months from anyone that I can recall. Maybe RE3 Remake but we saw how that turned out.

Ditto.

Lemme know when you’re ready to respond to what I actually said, and not what you think I’m saying.
