Oh god. I remember one of the press events for xiii 2. The director went on over orchestral music about how lightning was a rose, and had actual roses on stage. I was just “i get it, you wanna bang her”.

Especially Tabata’s takeover of XV. i remember him saying that positions were awarded for years of service, rather than skill and he wound up reorganizing most of the dev team. There were project leads for teams that only had experience in other fields. i think a career programmer of 10 years was lead audio designer…

From what i heard, yes. apparently the gameplay goes back to 2v2 with an assist. ability to use and activate the gems would be a full throw back.

Which is fine. mgs4 was a great movie.

Thats my big problem with the strike. hazard pay with resting time for damaging roles? absolutely. things like that i support, i even think the companies agreed to that in their statements. the part causing all the bluster is increased and residual pay. voice actors are amazing and memorable, but they dont MAKE the…

According to Q&A stories in the past, yes. Devs know about most glitches before release. devs then label them based on how bad they are and how frequently encountered. Which is why games ship buggy, because they’re deemed “acceptable”. As long as they don’t crash and burn, its okay. This is also why some bugs never…

Im not too surprised. obsidian has always been one of the best rpg devs in the world. im glad to see them succeed and break into the mainstream. its bittersweet though, we wont be getting Fallout 4.5 since they dont need cash in sequel money. :(

Well, if you read, most ToS statements for games now days, especially digitally, declare that you buying a game is not ownership. You are merely purchasing a license to use the content that can be revoked at any time for any reason.

It’s not that I can’t read far enough. It’s more I don’t want to. I want to be able to ambiently take in the dialogue focus on the game. I. Not saying dubs only, there should absolutely beasier dual audio. Not one or the other.

Not to mention, everything has touch these days. Shitty 20 dollar baby’s first tablets have touch screens. However, where would touch come in for TV play? That’s the question. I can see them omitting touch if there’s no way to use touch controls on tv mode. Maybe Wiiu game pad compatible?

Hopefully, with using a 64bit executable and more than 4gb of ram, mods can go even further.

That’s basically how I handled classic Xcom. Hire a bunch of freshness, don’t care if they get slaughtered.

Aside from everything you mentioned: JRPGS and their constant fascination with high school. It ruined type 0 for me. Back in my teens it was cool and dreamy. I’m in my mid twenties.Fetishising that shit is weird.

Time constraints that Konami placed. Fox engine and mgs5 were in developement for a long time and Konami wanted to cash out sooner than later. So they rushed Kojima to finish the game. That’s why there’s no solid final act, and why the game is narratively desolate throughout.

Also worth noting: Seeds of A giant tree.

Yes, you can. I noticed NYC summons seem to be less prevalent than before, or maybe I was messing up the quests so much I didn’t have any to summon.. typically you have to progress in an npcs Quest to summon them, unlike previous games where they were just kinda there.

Oddly enough, a few of my tricks to hit an opponent from the side or behind whilst they guard relies on them NOT being locked on. If they were, they’d auto track and catch it.

WHen it comes to party games with friends, having that satisfaction is often better than actually winning.
