People are constantly complaining that and minority characters are shoehorned in and lack depth but I think you could argue that the lack of complex characters is an issue across the board. Too often are do you come across characters in video games that exist solely as a dispensary for objectives and information instead of being a catalyst for character exploration and well written world building.
I think something video game developers have struggled with for a long time is the ability to let the player explore the complexities of a character without taking away from their sense of agency. Exploring the intricacies of a character is most easily and commonly accomplished through dialogue and it's difficult to allow the player to discuss things like emotions and personal thoughts in a way that feels truly organic without it being completely on rails. This is something that, despite the advent of virtual reality and a more recent focus on immersive worlds with grand storylines, I don't think videogames will improve on to an acceptable level in the near future at all. What are your thoughts on this /v/?
Pic related may not be one of the best examples but is personally one of my favorite games to talk to the other characters in. In particular I love the bits where you have drinks with Dandelion and he asks you about where you're going with your life.
Anyone?
That's kind of the argument I have against people who don't like having a pre-determined character in the Witcher. By using Geralt you get much more out of the story.
Fallout 4 on the other hand kills any sort of agency by pre-determining the voice and only having 3 real options in the entire game.
I enjoyed the DLC quite a lot due to all the interesting characters, I think it really illustrates your point. Another small example is Corrinne Tilly
Video game writers are never going to be good enough to do what you're suggesting.
Whats the point of having a Wii U now?
>>321583413
being able to actually PLAY games, not just access some of their intro graphics at sub-30 fps.
Functioning online, updates, play games properly, and use of the gamepad.
>>321583413

The best choice is obviouslyyour personal preference
Games that would greatly benefit from being on PC.
This shit would be a good game if it had kb+m support and would run at 60 fps instead of 10. Shame it's on the piss four and runs so poorly that it's barely playable.
>>321582608
>10
This game didn't have huge FPS dips when I was playing it.
Granted it wasn't silky smooth, but it rarely turned into a slideshow unless blowing up a shitton of stuff at once.
i thought it was on PC?
guess i was wrong
>>321582608
You're the most retarded person I have ever seen in my entire life.
Anything new on the PC version? It's $22 on GMG. What are some new features?
>>321582117
Sex mods
It doesn't look and run like shit. 60 FPS and 1080p
>>321582171
>implying that'll happen
DMC4 barely had any mods, you think this will?
Are the Steam versions of FFV and VI really terrible?
Any mods to make them better?
>>321582021
Yes.
No.
Emulate SNES originals.
>>321582021
I love the monster sprites but goddamn the character ones look awful
>>321583815
and the UI
and the overworld
and everything ON the overworld
Now that the dust has settled, which was the better game series?
>>321581924
I had more fun with unreal myself, but I really like both.
UT was the superior game in all aspects.
>tfw only yesterday i learned about Monster Hunt mod for UT99...
Unreal for fun
Quake for competition
What happened /v/?
PlayStation girls need more porn
People give Shadow flack for being edgy but good grief Jak went turbo edge
>>321581738
They wanted the CoD audience before there even was CoD
Holy fuck this game has me sweating at the starting screen alone.
It's hard to continue it with how tense it makes me. Did anyone else feel like this when they were playing?
>IGN criticized it for being "unforgiving"
How is that a bad thing in a game?
>>321581573
GOTY 2014 for me
>>321581573

Enjoy it OP, during the last third of the game the alien isn't even scary anymore, it just becomes a nuisance.

Isn't this game super autistic to the point where you almost need a guide?
ITT: The darkest and most unsettling music you've heard in a game, extra points for unexpected titles, like so:

Well, not going for extra points here, but I could pretty much copypaste the entire Silent Hill series' soundtracks here and be done with it. A good example:

Not sure why but I love this song for how eerie it sounds.
Always sit there for a few minutes when saving.
