Why is Nintendo the only company that cares about 60 FPS?
Why is nintendo the only company that evolved from a golden era to a mediocre one which makes games that are complete and utter shit.

Names are for friends, so I don't need one.
What order should I play through the games for someone who's only ever beaten Absolution?
>>322841775
doesn't matter, the events in the games aren't in chronological order anyway
>>322841775
Just play Blood Money and maybe Hitman 2
>>322841775
play 2 3 and blood money
1 has aged pretty badly
So what good games are there on the PS2? I've never owned one before today. All I have is Ace Combat 4 which I finished and thought was excellent.
what kind of games do you like?
Ace Combat 5 and Zero should be checked out.
The Reccomended Games wiki while infested with Reddit has a lot of noteworthy stuff on it.
Metal Gear series is also essential but that's been HD lifted
>>322841686
If you are into shooters, I would recommend the TimeSplitters series or the Ratchet and Clank Series; both of which are nice to play and plenty of fun.

I'm a fan of action games mostly, if I'm gonna play a slower-paced game then it needs to be really engaging in gameplay. FFX for example did nothing for me.
I'm typically a 'Nintendo' person, so I like their kinds of games. I know there's plenty of mascot platformers on the PS2, any good ones? I also know of Armored Core, and I like mecha, so I figure those might be good too.

I played Indigo Prophecy a while ago on the PS2 and I just played through, and finished, Heavy Rain. Both were pretty good (Heavy Rain far more so; at least it tries a lot harder to stay grounded in reality) although the acting is far below average, especially for 2010. I know David Cage gets a lot of flak for making "not games" but I gotta say that I respect his drive. He said in an interview that he doesn't want to make sequels just because.
>"It's about creating a brand that is the name of the creator, not Heavy Rain 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 12."
>"Let me be stupid for one second; I'm not in this business to make money. I wrote Heavy Rain because I was excited about it."
http://www.videogamer.com/ps3/heavy_rain/news/cage_explains_why_he_wont_make_heavy_rain_2.html
Of course, then he turns around and does a remaster of Indigo Prophecy but whatever. Anyway, what's the general opinion on the guy? How's Beyond Two Souls? I might play it sometime but it seems to go more in the direction of Indigo Prophecy, which irks me a little. Then again, the supernatural is introduced as part of the story right from the start, so maybe it's not so bad?
All of his games are hilariously bad. Though I sort of respect him for trying to do new things. It's a small miracle that companies still give him money.
>>322841653
You know, that bugs me a lot too. If I'm not mistaken, his first game, Omnikron for the Dreamcast, wasn't a very big hit. Neither was Indigo Prophecy, although it did get him a few fans and was generally considered a cult hit. For all intents and purposes, though, Quantic Dream should've ended there.
But then he goes and makes Heavy Rain, which kind of saved him. It sold well, riding almost entirely on hype, and allowed him to make Beyond Two Souls. I don't think that was a great money maker, though, and I doubt Indigo Prophecy's HD Remaster made a ton either. Whatever his next game is, if it doesn't sell great like Heavy Rain did then it's really gotta be over for him.
I don't want to see the guy fail but it's crazy how much funding he gets for so little return. Maybe he purposely doesn't pay himself much and cuts corners wherever he can to keep costs low? If that's true, you gotta respect the guy for at least his passion alone.
I don't give a shit that he makes "cinematic" games, you can enjoy those all you want.
David Cage is a fucking terrible writer. Indigo Prophecy shits itself the hardest i've ever seen a game do, and it was already pretty crappy in the middle, but the ending turns it into voodoo matrix and is the worst thing i have ever seen.
Heavy Rain is clearly a french guy going "THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS LIKE RIGHT?" fucking live chickens in a supermarket, kids getting sucked into drain pipes with water going as fast as a waterfall. Also hiring french kids to do american accents was the worst. THen the game straight up lies to you so you can go "wow, HE was the killer the whole time?!?!" when you are playing as that character when he kills a person, but it plays out as if he discovered the body. Fucking trash, at least try and write a competent twist, not bullshitting your way through it.
Beyond Two Souls is the worst he's written, it's not presented in chronological order for no fucking reason. The main character is treated like hobo jesus, the forced love story makes no sense, and the reasons behind her powers are so stupid i wanted to kill myself.
Detroit already looks like it's going to be shit, i bet the story will be "no am a i real girl" "no you are not" "yes i am" "oh i guess you and all robots are real people okay then i was wrong" and there also be a shower scene because he's a perverted fuck.
Fuck David Cage.

Who thought this was a good idea? How long before some kid gets raped and killed in the woods while trying to catch a Pikachu?
>>322840880
The first death will be over a shiny.

More than likely you'll see a bunch of kids getting they're phones stolen.
>>322840880
As soon as I get my innawoods gear on.
It's kiddy pussy season now, boys.
Is it worth getting?
I'm still debating whether to play it or not.
>>322840428
Is it really that expensive or is your wallet really tight
>>322840428
it's a waste of time. shit gameplay, shit story, etc. no.
>>322840572
I can afford it.
Hey /v/, I'm looking for some gays to play that are super depressing. I can't find many games that are soul crushingly depressing, closest is pic related. Share sad depressing games.

bruh
what went wrong?
Sticker Star is such a weird game. on paper, it ought to be fucking horrible. compared to the first two PM games, it certainly seems awful. it also get crucified like any game that passes below that certain "goodness" threshold, because things can either be GODLIKE or SHIT.
but, it actually had good elements in it, despite all the bad things and lacking things.
>level design
much better than ttyd's repeated enemy-infested corridors
>music
excellent, world 6 theme and Boo Night Fever are especially good
>what little writing they managed to keep in
Sniffit or Whiffit was great, as was the Enigmansion. and that wandering Toad and his journals.
>boss fights
if you didn't pussy out, they were tough and creative and easily the best parts of the game.
>non-linearity
surprised me how much of this game you can do out of order. I beat world 3 before even starting world 2, and went back and forth between worlds 4 and 5.
however, as we all know, it had a bunch of shit that held it down.
>no story, little dialogue
fucking criminal in a mario rpg
>classic mario environments only
almost negated the interesting level design with generic looking levels
>classic mario enemies behaving like classic mario enemies only
the charm of mario RPGs is talking to friendly goombas and fighting crazy non-mario monsters and shit.
>no partners, no badges, only attack the first in line
taking away your options in battle means simplifying it and making it less interesting
>no experience or level up bonuses
makes you not want to fight battles, as the only thing you gain is stickers and coins
>only resource is stickers
battles do nothing but waste stickers, to get stickers. the game basically encourages you to avoid battle and save stickers.
>berating you for not using the supereffective sticker on the bosses
holy shit, the game almost doesn't want you to even fucking play it.
the game manages to end up somewhere around mediocre. A highly flawed system, not saved by the few strong points.
>>322839743
It's babby's first RPG, with random encounters that don't mean shit, and with bosses that are boring regardless if you use their one signature weakness that makes them a joke, or does 1 damage.
Also no partners, badges, too few abilities, boring characters, and rehashed themes from NSMB2.
There's a lot more too.
It's complete garbage

According Square's announcement, Shinra Technologies Japan and its New York branch are being dissolved. Liquidation of the New York and Tokyo divisions are estimated to be complete by March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2016, respectively.
>No source
>mfw still seems legit though
>>322839312
Never heard of this before. Did they seriously name one of their subsidiaries "Shinra"?
>>322839817
>>322839887
All the usual suspects have a google-able article about it, including the site itself(though the site seems to be unreachable right now. Can still see the cache copy though.)
I never heard of it before now either. An earlier article about it though:
