There's a 22 year difference between these 2 games.

And a significant difference in hardware size and form as well.
This may sound tryhard or 2deep4u, but this is a topic that has been bugging me for a while. Just hear me out.
I’m surprised that many supposed video game experts and pioneers (especially pic related) don’t seem to appreciate the abstract underlying mechanics and systems in games, but focus on surface level aesthetics and tone. Or they can’t get past certain trashy, shallow, or violent aesthetics to appreciate the deep gameplay. In pic related, J.Blow basically writes off violent games based just because they portray violence acts. But these aspects and really just dressing to the core gameplay. To me, what matters is the depth of gameplay and systems available to the player. Just as a quick example: DMC3. At one glance, someone like Blow would think it’s a trash, violent game for kids who want to kill monsters. If you look past the visuals and presentation, you can find a very deep and nuanced combo system that gives players a lot of priority and freedom. When I play DMC3, for me it not that I am killing demons, it’s about me mastering the combat system, trying out new combos with the given moves, and improving my performance and execution skills against the enemies in the game. All those violent games Blow wrote off could be shallow like he said, but they could potentially provide a fun, innovative gameplay experience.
People praise TLOU, for having mature themes and a serious story, but I think in terms of gameplay it is quite shallow. There is very poor human AI, too many forced, dull walking and talking sections, and reliance on scripted sequences.
A better example is something like Hatred. Everyone flipped their head when they saw it was about killing civilians and balked at it, but in gameplay terms it was just another top down shooter similar to the likes of Geometry Wars, but no one shits on GW.
Does this make any sense? Am I the only one who tries to think about games like this?
>inb4 too long didn't read
Content will always be judged based on current events. School shootings were the fotm when hatred came out. Tlou was topical because games were being discussed as art at the time.
>>345384803
Yeah, I can expect that from games journalists, but supposed geniuses like Blow, who claim they want to elevate games to a higher medium, seem to look at games the same shallow way journos do.

>video game experts and pioneers
Nowadays they are known as people who don't care about or don't even play video games, no surprise they don't know the first thing about them.

Itt: things that never happened.
How come old devs only care about people playing their game and new ones only care about the money?

Thank you.Whack.

Dark Souls 2:
>Hey you know, I feel like doing some PvP. I'll hit the arenas.
>Hey I beed a break from the arenas, I'll hit the fight club at Iron Keep bridge.
>Hey I'm bored of the fight clubs, I'll do some red invades.
>Well red invades aren't very fun, I keep invading noobs just trying to play through the PvE. I can see why people like it but it's not my thing.
>I'll go stand in Belfy Luna and invade and get invaded and earn Ore while I'm at it.
>Time to take a break from Luna, let's go to Sol.
>Ahhh, I'm tired of this too, let's blue invade all over the world.
>This is fun, I get to PvP all over the game, and I get to punish people for invading noobs.
>look at bonfire map, see several outline indicators displaying which areas have the most players in them atm
>Go stand in those areas with delicate string and dried finger active
>Periodically get invaded in between blue invades
>Fighting all over the game, wherever I want, punishing sinners, drawing sinners to my world, whenever I get bored of one style of PvP I go back to doing arenas, fight clubs, bell tower, etc.
Dark Souls 3:
>Hey you know, I feel like doing some PvP
>wow they really limited the PvP this time around...
>I guess I'll fight club?
>well that got boring fast, I guess I'll blue invade and punish sinners?
>oh, that doesn't exist anymore, I guess I'll dried finger and wait to be invaded?
>oh, I can't because I've already cleared the game and you can't be invaded after you've cleared the area
>Well I guess I'll red invade... oh wow it's a 1v4 and each enemy rolls behind his three teammates and chugs the moment I land one blow on him episode...
Das2 sux
>>345382054
don't meta and you'll have fun at FCs
20 +2 or 60 +8 for blue invasion
play through NG+ or +2 fully embered if you want a PVP playthrough, aldrich/watchdogs/blue covenant optional
not getting invaded in cleared areas was in the last two games
>not getting a hardon for gank spanking

Were you the level 30 Lucio I played with earlier today on Nepal? If so, your fucking retarded.
You told me to swtich off Mercy even though I was getting 2-4 person revives all game. Even then, having Mercy and Lucio at one time is almost mandatory.

Why aren't you excited for the PS4 Neo?
>Only $400
>Will have better graphics than 99% of current PCs
>Old games will get new performance patches to look better
I'm buying a Scorpio, that's why
My old PS4 works fine though
If I didn't early adopt, I would opt for the NEO but as it stands, games largely dictate my gaming experience, not hardware.
I envy late adopters though a bit, having the options to choose from the very start would be nice.
>Only $400
Hasn't been stated anywhere.
>Will have better graphics than 99% of current PCs
And will have shittier graphics than anyone with a decent PC.
>Old games will get new performance patches to look better
Has already been confirmed to not be happening by Sony.
Apologize.

Same could be say for Gone Home and literally any other walking simulator
Is 7th Dragon 3 Code VFD good?
This name sucks.
Yeah it's alright. RPG with Etrian Odyssey battles, has some of the character creation elements too. Has a tower you build and upgrade, unlockable jobs. Alright story. Terrible graphics, average for 3DS.
>>345377625
It's like an easier etrian odyssey where you can actually see the characters and fulfill really hyper chuuni fantasies like being an epic hacker class and wielding duel guns or being a yugioh protagonist.
It reuses a lot of shit from the previous games but if you didnt play those then it won't bother you because you wouldnt know anyway. I like it so far.
>>345378292
>Etrian Odyssey battles
So the only GOOD battles in the whole RPG genre? Cool.
