...I've misread "it" in the first post as "I", my literacy is dropping like my already suspended trust in video game journalism.
Those games can be fun if they allow the player to experiment and stuff, but this one seems to be the type of game to just punish the player for trying anything. You mentioned the type of people who play this type of game, and they’re probably more interested in their misery sim than a fun experience.
I meant that Across the Obelisk has way too much of everything in it. Slay the Spire, in my opinion, is the perfect example of how one should handle information in this type of game, for the reasons you stated.
I mean, David Cage himself said that game overs are a failure of game design.
This pepito jumped from doing (admittedly great) music to video games no one cares about into directing interactive movies, what say does he have on proper game design?
You unironically also described the difference between a woman and a Troon lmao life really do be imitatin art and shit
When I saw people trying their best to not play the game and have it play itself, I immediately thought of that Beyond 2 Souls game by Cage.
How much you wanna bet someone will use that crap to say that the game is a brilliant critique of capitalist society, classism and specism and that the game is not torture porn? Because i bet that if the game gets a bit of momentum some will make video essays about it and saying how pulling shrapnel out of your body is a way to symbolize the struggles of being a furfag.
I recently watched someone go through Beyond 2 Souls and probably the only somewhat good thing about David Cage movies is the twist at the end. Everything else is very predictable and to a certain degree, cringeworthy.
The music makes it sound like it really wants to be Gravity Rush/Jet Set Radio so hard but it falls incredibly short. Tbh the game would have a much better ambience if it had just metal groaning, wind and distant rumbling in order to create the ambience of a desolate place falling apart.
Crazy how he described exactly what I was complaining about. I was worried there would be too many glazers so I'm glad I'm not alone in my criticisms.
The Heavy Rain twist was unpredictable because it relied on the twist character gaslighting their own inner-monologue and actions for the entire game about not being said person and somehow having no idea anything that's going on to throw you off lmao. It was a really bad decision to have that as a character
Aww, it's nice to hear such a weirdly high video game comparison. "Women are like PS1 graphics made by people pushing the limits at the time" is the strangest, most autistic way of saying they're art. Men to pooners are the Chrono Trigger and Metal Slug to indie pixel slop too.
I am so tired of autism techno.
It's true. The twist really catches you off guard because you would have never have guessed that detective who constantly has no idea of what is looking at and scratches his head at every clue he sees is actually the culprit collecting any clues that might give him away in order to destroy them.
Sounds like prefect game for Null to stream, it cant be any worse then life is strange.
I really wish Null streamed games more often. I bet he would have a blast too playing David Cage games
Oh, definitely, just for the dialogue and voice acting alone.
There are a manifold of electronic music genres that troons could pick instead of Jungle + stock MIDI instruments or chiptune. In fact, I'll name some that are adjacent, suitable for inclusion!
My problem stems from these tracks being far too simplistic to their detriment. You know that it's bad when even mildly challenging irregular time signatures can't save what you've created from being utter mediocrity, as seen with the ULTRATROON soundtrack.
Some confirmation bias fuel: since it's estimated that Mixtape may have been in development since 2021, - despite the final result absolutely not looking like it, - it does belong in the same lineup of propaganda titles that have all... very very very very very suspiciously started "active" development around the Corona scamdemic - and took their sweet time for so long they got released way after the lockdowns. Dustborn, Relooted, 1348 Ex Voto, probably a few other skinwalking as indies I forgot about.
I missed this comment and this is something I'm passionate about so here's my take:
