Save points: An outdated mechanic that has no place in modern games, or clever way to divide the game into managable chunks while discouraging save-scumming?
>>320941960
outdated
That second thing.
>>320941960
They're only good if used frequently, and as mandatory checkpoints rather than optional save points.
Why aren't games fun anymore?
because the games you like from the past are just the few good games that are remembered while the bulk is forgotten, giving you a skewered view of games in the past. Meanwhile the current games you see are not filtered and you take all the shit facefirst.
>>320941747
They are. EDF 4.1 just came out like 2 weeks ago.
Games used to have to try and be original and different to stand out
Now they can just make them flashy and saturate media with marketing

Go to China with Submarine friend.
Hi, you're looking at the best 3d sonic game. If you think otherwise then you're just fucking wrong.
Well, I don't think you're the best, but good. I did find your Tails/Eggman's stages terribly boring and your Knuckles/Rouge's levels being good but somewhat worse than the Knuckles's stages from SA1, but other than that, the rest was fine.
I would love another sequel, as long the characters are organized like SA1, but without Emerald Hunt, the Big's stages and Gamma's stages.
I don't understand the logo, what are these blue and brown waves? there isn't any surfing stage on the game
Anyway, this was my very first game, good childhood memories
>>320942981
Theses are not waves, theses are Sonic and Shadow's thorn hairs.
>Oh, another Fire Emblem character. Must have missed one.
>>320941386
Wasn't supposed to be
>all these sword characters
C'mon Nintendo, there are two other weapons in the weapon wheel, you fucks.
>>320941702
There's literally no fucking difference, one has a long blade and a short handle while an axe has a short blade and a long handle. At least Corrin has sword, chainsaw, spear, magic AND martial arts.
The GOTY season is coming. And Brad will be hosting it.
Way back in 2009, he died on a hill along with Ryan to have Uncharted 2 beat Batman Arkham Asylum as the GOTY, no one else agreed.
Fast forward to 2011, and he cried and whined until Skyrim was number 1, no one else but Patrick agreed.
In 2013, he single-handedly fought for DOTA 2 to go as high up the ladder as possible. No one else wanted it there, he managed to get it to the seventh spot all by himself.
In 2014, it was a fight to the bitter end for Destiny to get it's Number 10 spot.
Which game will he argue to death, tooth and nail this year?
Mario maker.
Jeff will shill mario maker.
Taken King for Best DLC if thats a category.
I'm not sure about GoTY though. There hasn't been anything exceedingly bad come out that he's shilling.
Valve is the cancer of PC gaming.
>Valve, considered a monopolist in digital distribution of PC games
>Eats up 30% of profits from all Steam-based digital sales and 10-15% from item transactions
>Net profit estimated around 1 billion US dollars per year (meanwhile GTA 5's spending budget was like 200-300 million incl. marketing expenditure, and all of that spanned across multiple years)
>Employs only 350 staff for entire customer support, R&D, gamedev, sysadmin, web development and so on
>SteamOS still in beta
>Vulkan still not released to the public
>Steam client is still clunky and slow piece of crap
>Steam Controller is too expensive and nowhere near revolutionary
>Steam Broadcasting has been around for over a year and it bombed
>Steam VR won't be released in first three quarters of 2016
>All that money and still no E3 event dedicated to PC
>Abysmal customer support
>Two years since Dota 2 and still no details about new IPs of new games whatsoever
>Most of company investments are oriented to build a fucking CONSOLE around Steam and PC architecture
>you can pretty much forget about Half-Life 3 at this point
Does anyone else feel that Valve doesn't deserve their 30% cut at all? Fucking where goes all the money they earn? Servers can't cost that much.
There's only one explanation: Valve is either wasting, or piling up shittons of money. Their investments drag for years and it seems they stopped developing new video games at all.
Valve holds your games and the whole sector hostage. In fact, they don't need to do anything at this point. Valve investment is ineffective and their upkeep is so low that they can live off from their financial reserves for decades, let alone passive income.
Valve is cancer of PC gaming and it will continue to haunt us for years, dragging PC gaming down and filling up their basement with money they don't deserve.
The question is: how we can slap Valve's shit without hurting PC game developers?
If you want to wear down Valve's monopoly, you have to buy from competing websites (that DON'T sell Steam keys).
Still, most of the points that you mentionned are Valve's own problem and not something that affects PC gaming as a whole.
Just buy games available on other places than steam and pirate steam only games (i.e retail copy is just a cdkey for steam)
>>320941396
Witcher 3 sold 1.5 million on gog and 500k on steam
Just buy your games somewhere else if you hate valve so much
I see them as another distributor really. Nothing to hate.
They don't owe us anything since unlike sony, they don't sell us hardware and charge us for online.
Despite the shit show that is uplay, the $60 price tag on a game with no SP and the boatload of flaws that the game has had upon release, it's been a long time since I've had this kind of unrelenting fun with an online FPS, and there's not any other FPS even remotely like this right now. I wanted to hate this game so much because of Ubisofts inability to not fuck up good series, but it's so much fun.
Also if you wanna shitpost about it not being a 'tactical' game cause you have superpowers and shit please gtfo. It's not realistic by any means at all but it's reliant on team work more than most shooters out there.
Also siege thread
>3 shields on my team
>none of the defenders have c4
>Rollin down hallway to bomb room with attackers fire at us
>we just absorbing bullets as blitz keeps flashing them
>sledge and thermite bust in from behind defenders
>whole defending team slaughtered in seven seconds
Shouts out to defending teams who all stay in the same room. Yall be crazy
i was playing Saturday night n I was getting all these flawless wins w/ my team with me in 1st place each time. i thought I was doing crazy good and then I realized it was free to play over the weekend and that's also why so many people were rage quitting
>>320941115
Itd be better if it was realistic instead of casual run and gun.

Is there any way to play the game with Japanese audio/English subs? I saw.some footage of the Japanese version recently and I liked their voices more.
These are my PS3 games, any suggestions for games I missed out on?
Already have Dark Souls 2 for PS4, don't like the Uncharted and God of War series.
>GTA SA isn't by GTA 4
>Fallout New Vegas isn't by Fallout 3
>Bioshock isn't by Bioshock 2 or Infinite
>Final Fantasy games aren't by eachother
>MGS Collection isn't by Guns of the Patriots or Revengeance
I'm sure I missed a lot more games you didn't organize but other than that alright collection.
>Yakuza: Dead Souls
>no Yakuza 3 or 4
>Tales of Symphonia Chronicles
>neither Xillia, no Graces
>Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
>no Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1
>no Armored Core
>no Atelier
>no Kingdom Hearts 1.5 or 2.5
>no Sly Cooper collection
>no Ratchet and Clank collection
>no Jak and Daxter collection
>no Tomb Raider collection
That's all I've got.
Resistance trilogy.
>FF7 Remake would be too big for a couple of blu ray
>XV will fit on one
>>320940852
We all know already that XV will be a flop&blunder.
>>320940852
FF7 story sequences were hours of reading at a time, pretty sure it's just budget constraints since it'll all be voice acted this time.
>>320941510

I want to buy a PS4 to play PDX when it comes out, but I find it really hard to believe that Bloodborne is the only other game in the console.
What other exclusives are there on the PS4 to give me a reason to buy one? Even any cool downloadable titles? Imported games (no JRPGs though)?
All lists I see on around the internet are full of shitty games that I can already play on PC.
>He still doesn't get it.
It's literally Bloodborne
Take your pick.
Should I upgrade my 660 to a 970 for 350 dollaroos?
My CPU is an i5 2500k and I have 8gb RAM, but I don't have the money to upgrade any of those.
>>320940386
No. Your system is slightly better than mine (560ti 1GB), and I see no reason to upgrade yet.
Keep your GPU, and wait for the upcoming DX12 cards.
>>320940793
970 is DX12 card
>>320940793
My only fear is that if I wait too long I'll be forced to upgrade to windows 10.
But yeah, the modern industry is giving me no reason to upgrade yet
>>320940847
Meaning I can't use windows 7 with it?
