this man has already suckered fools out of $6.3 million and he's still shamelessly begging for more

Perhaps the worst part, aside from the fact that """gamers""" will happily oblige, is that this is wholly sanctioned by $ony. awdood;

yet another professional kicksharter scam artist who will suffer absolutely no consequences for conveniently """running out""" of $7o,ooo

QuoteIf you want to know exactly how much money we need to finish this game, I will tell you: between $120,000 and $150,000.


jesus christ

at this point, how could they expect anybody to believe that a penny of that would actually go into their nonexistent game

QuoteI would now like to address concerns that, while they are understandable, do not help our situation and give us a bad image. I feel it is time to be as transparent as possible and even give you actual numbers. Some people still believe that Midora is just "vaporware".

Is that Minish Cap's tileset just blatantly ripped? If so, maybe they do need that much money to survive Nintendo lawsuits.

Yes, making games can cost a lot of money, but one like that shouldn't, or at least not judging from the initial impression I get of its scope, unless you hire more staff than you need or pay them more than they should get or have some huge development problems that slow down progress way too much.

People are unhappy about this? Umm...okay. I mean, I wouldn't like it if it's overused, but I like it when Nintendo games include some small, cheeky reference to current, popular trends. It just goes to show how up-to-date the Treehouse is and how clever they can be with their writing. This reference was certainly harmless, and since Tri Force Heroes is a game with an already over-the-top plot, it would be expected that little nods like this are included.

why an industry rife with anti-consumer practices is never ever going to change for the better:

(http://i.imgur.com/4RuRIam.png)

he hates this game so much that he happily purchased it three times, at full price, on three separate platforms

ubisoft actually earned 3x as much from this shoddy product than they would have had they released a good one

yeah i'm sure they're absolutely devastated by that thumbs down lol

there is no incentive whatsoever to move away from exploitative business practices when your consumer base is comprised entirely of people who are as stupid and as incapable of self-reflection as this

Oculus Rift was put up for preorder today
and they announced the price: US$599 for the headset + xbone controller + oculus remote + sensor bundle

[spoiler=@KazHiraiCEO](http://i.imgur.com/enpvxKt.png)[/spoiler]

Also, they have a list of minimum recommended PC specs: GTX 970 (or R9 290), Intel i5-4590, 8GB RAM, 4 USB ports (3 at 3.0 speed, 1 at 2.0 speed)
That's almost exactly the standard PC gamer build from late 2014 / early 2015, except that most people went for the overclockable equivalent CPU

4 USB connectors is a lot, but I guess I'm not too surprised considering how much video bandwidth and power they consume.

lol me and my bud were making price guesses this morning and i fuckin' nailed it


but really yer a dingus if you thought this was gonna be much cheaper, shits packed with da technologies. inevitably this will come down in price, assuming VR every becomes popular considering its really high barrier to entry right now, to probably 400 or so in the next 3-4 years. once again, assuming it doesn't flounder and die right out of the gate.

i'd imagine PSVR is going to be in the 4-500 range, and Vive is probably going to be 700 or more looking at its kit but i guess we'll see

I feel this will be akin to 3d, be that 3d movies, or the 3ds.
people will experience it, say "oh thats pretty cool!" and then proceed to turn it right off (3ds)

an while 3d movies are still around, and still do pretty well, I'm sure most people prefer normal 2d
Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: C.Mongler on January 06, 2016, 01:08:58 PM
eh probably, though i wouldn't exactly say that 3d movies in the theater have hit niche novelty yet as they're still pretty prevalent and relatively popular

but yeah i feel the sentiment, it's like i have an hour to play a game, i'm not going to spend 10+ minutes setting the damn thing up just so i can be like WOW ITS LIKE IM REALLY THERE. but then again, i've never used VR and i can't really offer a perspective on just how immersive it is; if it's as cool as it sounds i feel like this would be WAAAAAY more appealing to use regularly than something like the 3ds's shitty 3d
Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: don't let's on January 06, 2016, 04:14:23 PM
If it was cheaper it could catch on, or if it was its own console or something. But it's basically a $600 peripheral that you still have to have a good PC and games for. And then any newer models would probably be similarly priced and they're going to run into the same problems.

the only people who bought it were diehard apple fangays. but it didnt matter because those fangays went and told two fangays about how cool and FUTURISTIC the ipod was and those fangays told two fangays, and then the fangays who told some fangays went and bought a gen 2 and eventually everywhere you look everyone is a fuckin apple fangay with an ipad in their butthole and an applewatch on both wrists. market penetration for new technology does not happen overnight and it does not happen just because something is considered 'affordable' or not. can it help? sure! but even if the occulus was 200 bucks, it's still a decent chunk of change with another huge barrier to entry, that being having a rig that can actually play games on it.

the point of the first consumer Rift is to get DIEHARD ENTHUSIASTS to get their hands on one. it's to get them into the ecosystem and then to eventually bring other people into the Rift world as well. and IT WILL get cheaper. if you looked at the price and scoffed and thought it was too much, well guess what, you aren't the audience they want yet. but in 3 years when there's gen2/3 and the rift has more features and is down to 350-450 dollars, and the PC parts you need are down hundreds of dollars as well, and your neighbor has one AND WHEN YOU TRIED IT IT WAS THE TIGHTEST SHIT OF YOUR LIFE AND FUCK I JUST GOTTA HAVE ONE, thats when you'll finally come to terms with it being time to get a Rift.

and yeah maybe it will fail, but honestly that's more to blame on the market not being interested in VR tech in the long term than it does with the launch price of some extremely pricey new piece of technology

But I figure this thing has no chance at all until it hits $200 or below. (Maybe $400) Unless something that's just so amazing (or a bunch of somethings) comes out for it. And I don't see the price getting lowered anytime soon, especially when/if newer models come out. Unless the new models don't really add anything and are just about lowering costs.
And it's not like this is like the consoles where they can sort of take a loss with it and make it up with game sales.

It's higher priced than the consoles right now, but it's not going to have the same support as it's not its own self contained thing. It needs another machine for it to work in addition to its high price.

I figure it will go the way of the Kinect or Move or some of Nintendo's endeavours. You might get some unique things early on or sprinkled around here and there, but almost nobody is going to have one, so most people won't put much or any effort into developing for it, and it'll be mostly an afterthought if people include support for it. But it's going to do even worse than those things because of how expensive it is.

VR tech may one day still catch on, and these guys may be a catalyst for it, but I don't this product from this company is going to live unless something drastic happens/changes.

The ipod at least had the luxury of being an mp3 player and its own self-contained thing back CDs were still big and digital music and mp3 players in general were starting to hit their stride, especially since they could hold thousands of songs.

Almost the same deal with the PS3 at launch when it was so expensive. It had the luxury of being a cheaper Blu-ray player when they were hitting prominence, and then it was also the next PlayStation.

i mean i don't disagree per se, but i think it's a bit naive to see a $600 entry fee and just go WELP ITS GONNA FAIL. it's still waaaaaaayyyy too early in the VR game to draw any conclusions like that. even at 600 dollars Oculus sold out on all their pre-order units and they are shipping units to all their kickstarter backers too; at this point in time their install base is literally as big as they have the capacity for it to be.

Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: don't let's on January 07, 2016, 11:34:16 AM
I just have my doubts that this particular product will get enough support or enough good support from third parties with it being at that kind of price point. Might see a boom of it initially but I expect it to taper off pretty quick unless it's just more or less effortless to add the VR support to stuff. And even then...

But who knows, they could just keep sinking more and more money into it and keep pushing it until it finally does catch on.
And I guess you can do more than just games with that kind of thing so there is that to take into consideration.

lol well honestly it isn't so much that it's a $60 indie that i find problematic

it's the fact that it's a $60 indie from a developer with no reputation that seems to have about as much depth as those dime-a-dozen pretty walking simulators you can find on steam......... except with spaceships

it simply doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from other $20 indies

heck, as of now it would have a hard time justifying even a $20 price tag for me

there's not an ounce of depth apparent in no man's sky, and the fact that they have still yet to really elaborate beyond 'procedurally-generated space flight sim !!' is cause for alarm, especially if they have the gall to be charging $60

i'm banking on either a price drop or low sales being the case if what we've seen really is all they have to offer, and in fact that would confirm that i was perfectly justified in finding the initial launch price of $60 to be ridiculous

I really want to like this game, and I thought it looked pretty good and seemed interesting ever since it was announced. But those are also my "fears" about it, that it's going to be all fluff and little to no substance. Especially with how they bost about how many planets you can explore and stuff like that. It just feels like it has a really good chance at being repetitive in a bad way, or barren, or both.

turok 2 was decent. fixed some issues from the first game, had better graphixxx and had way better weapons.

turok 1 was revolutionary when it came out simply because it was one of the first popular fps games with actual like...exploration, wide open areas, puzzles, platforming (BAD PLATFORMING THO), etc. as opposed to mostly hallways like previous fps games. however, this came with a price: super thick distance fog and some of the worst draw distance i've ever seen. the game also aged super fast and idk it's just not a good game tbh

question though: why is turok 3 not included in the announcement? it's not particularly any better or worse than 2

ALSO ALL THESE GAMES HAD THIS REALLY GLARING FLAW THAT I HATED WHICH WAS THAT THEY WERE GAMES THAT NEEDED A CONTROLLER PAK TO SAVE

on the topic of gaming as a whole:
i know that this is a pretty predictable strongbad opinion because i never shut up about them BUT

i genuinely believe that roguelites and roguelikes will become a major force of gaming over the next 5 or so years. like yeah now they're all hit or miss indie games but once you get into one you realize how amazing they are and could you believe how amazing they could be with AAA development? like a skyrim roguelite? i think that darksouls is a good step in the right direction since it is conditioning people to get fucked up by videogames and forced into mastery but i think it can be taken a step farther while being accessible

i mean it's not like this is a new genre or anything man, the only thing that's new is possibilities for procedural generated content is expanding widely

i mean i think if no man's sky is a critical success ya might see bigger titles but if it's a doo doo flop probably not going to leave the niche realm it's currently in (yes i realize no man's sky is not a rouge lite at all, but it's probably the biggest name title i can think of right now that uses LOL SO RANDOM as it's core)
Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: strongbad on April 22, 2016, 12:51:53 AM
i guess a big part of it is procedurally generated content and that is definitely an important thing for gaming, and i definitely prefer it to developer made levels and things, since it forces your to learn to play the game on your own terms instead of learning to play the game how somebody wanted you to play the game (if that makes sense)

but i think that perma death is just as important as the procedurally generated content even though it's the thing that turns people off from RLs the most. when you have the chance of losing a character forever, you play it so much differently and every gain is so much more meaningful since it feels real as it could be taken away at any moment.

id really love to see some serious permadeath MMOs out there. id also like to get in on a hardcore mode minecraft server but it is hard to setup and nobody is interested i think

i just mean literally the dev team has been purposefully vague about what this game even is, and it seems like vidja press has just kind of taken the vague concepts and ran with them to be like GUYS IT'S GOING TO BE EVERYTHING when i think the dev team were trying to have people NOT hold that impression so they didnt get dissapointed and now it's probably going to backfire lol

I think all you do is explore? I have no idea because no one has said anything about it. Like it randomly generates planets so that every planet is ~unique~ but I read a review a month or so ago saying that after the 3rd planet it gets boring. I don't know how they're asking for $60 for this game since it's barely worth more than $20 at most.

Quote from: Tectron on March 04, 2016, 01:43:56 AM
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkplUsR2z6E[/youtube]

'i wandered around aimlessly for a bit, uttered an inquisitive 'hm' at an arbitrary anomaly, and then left to do the same ad infinitum on some other generic planet'

'i hope it lives up to its expectations' is a euphemism for 'i fear this would become boring within an hour'

where is the $60 worth of depth here

what is the incentive for exploring beyond empty gazing at random objects

no man's sky would make an absolutely brilliant template for a game like mass effect or something, but as of right now it just seems like a framework without any inherent purpose of its own

i am so looking forward to seeing this game's metacritic scores lol


i mean seriously, what else could 'i sure hope it lives up to its expectations.........' really mean except that it presently doesn't lol

just don't buy it then dipshit jesus this isnt that hard of a concept lol if no one wants it for 60 its price will drop like a rock in a matter of weeks. christ lol


thanks for the economics lesson
i'm banking on either a price drop or low sales being the case if what we've seen really is all they have to offer, and in fact that would confirm that i was perfectly justified in finding the initial launch price of $60 to be ridiculous

yes, i very much look forward to being vindicated


http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/no-mans-sky?ref=hp

i could not possibly have dreamed of a more spectacular disaster

not only did every single fear about the depth/shallowness of this game materialize tenfold, not only did promises from the grandiose to the most minute go shamelessly unfulfilled, but the icing on the procedurally generated cake is that the pc release is utterly broken, which even i couldn't have anticipated lol

i mean it's arkham knight-level unplayable giggle;

hopefully this serves as a lesson to self-important indies everywhere who might also have had the audacity to charge $60 for their own generic, broken early access game

it's just a shame that hello games has already made its millions thanks to sony's marketing prowess, an insane days-post-launch review embargo, and astronomical levels of overhype/overpromising that anyone could have seen through (but i think """gamers""" must deliberately go out of their way to prove that they're gullible morons)

Can I be FUCKING real for a second?

This community is fucking atrocious right now. You're all acting like a bunch of whiny, entitled little babies.

A tiny team of people made an entire universe for you to explore. They made it for YOU, and they're going to wake up tomorrow morning and see that instead of enjoying it, this community of "fans" picked out the 3 or 4 things that weren't perfect and are using that to fucking riot.

Guess what? The game was never going to be perfect. It was never going to live up to your hype. It was never going to be everything you'd ever want in a game.

What it WAS going to be was an impossibly big universe filled with mysteries and weird shit. I just played it for 2 hours and it was exactly that. What more do you want?

Is it buggy? Sure. Is it repetitive? Maybe. Is the inventory system imperfect and the multiplayer feature questionable and the structure unclear? Sure, fine.

But holy shit what do these people OWE YOU?

How fucking entitled do you have to be to explore an infinite universe in a spaceship and then say "yeah but..."

We should all be fucking weeping in our chairs right now at the sheer size and scale of the achievement. We should be showering the people behind this thing with the praise they deserve for pulling off one of the most inspiring games in recent memory.

Hello Games doesn't owe you the world. Yet they gave you 18 QUINTILLION of them.

If you have the fucking audacity to complain about it then you don't deserve it and you were never fans in the first place.

QuoteWe work hard, hope, dream, and wonder about the destinations in life. We push forward into further and better horizons. We want to make it. We want to get there. We spend our lives saving money, buying cars, toys, and materials. We go to bed early so we can wake up tomorrow in a better version of reality.
And when we make it there, when we have all the items our perfect lives, when we finally make it to retirement, what is there left?
We will always strive for greener grass, and sweeter fruit, and in doing so we will surely never find it.
No Man's Sky eloquently portrays the existential crisis of the human experience. The journey of the soul trying to make its infinitesimal footprint in the inconceivable universe before being spaghettified into a black hole.

too bad that doesn't matter at all to the devs, they've already made out like bandits

But at least I can take solace in knowing that I'm not the only one who found their marketing deceptiveness particularly egregious. The devs are under investigation for false advertising. happydood;

of course, nintendo will interpret these figures as evidence that metroid must be permanently retired (despite the explosion of metroidvanias on the indie scene, which emerged from the ashes of starved metroid fans)

and honestly, considering that they've consistently demonstrated that they are absolutely clueless about how to handle the franchise, that's probably for the best

It is being reported that a player’s lost video game may have resulted in the aircraft missing its refueling point and ultimately running out of fuel just five miles short of its destination. An injured player who was not on the flight says that in the soccer team’s WhatsApp group, the coach had laughed that the plane was delayed due to a player’s missing video game. The message indicated that the player had requested the flight crew go look for his bag which contained the video game so that he could play it in-flight. It took the crew 20 minutes to find the game resulting in a flight delay.

As an unforeseen result of the video game mishap, LaMia Flight 2933 missed its refueling point.

Quote from: ARK Dev30-45 FPS for the regular PS4 (which renders ARK’s environment at either at 680p or 720p depending on whether you have “Detailed Graphics” selected)

On the PS4 Pro, 60 FPS at 720p,or 30-60 FPS at 1080p, depending on “Detailed Graphics” setting.

sony is the only one with a good game lineup. it's not even a contest

with the cancellation of scalebound MSoft doesnt have shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. they really need to put up some good ass shit that isn't halo 6 this e3 cuz their lineup looks fucking dire now. halo wars 2, sea of thieves (which i believe is a 2018 game), and crackdown 3 which might be canned too lol. where the fuck is scorpio how long are they going to sit on it

PCs are getting less expensive comparatively, and consoles are getting more expensive. Plus add in the costs of smart phones.

i never played sly so i cant really comment. conker felt more or less the same to me, though rare was one of the first to make use of third person over the shoulder in that game (heh fuck u re4)

i think things have gotten better just out of sheer hardware capabilities, both in terms of being able to process the viewpoint of the world without dropping the game to like 3 fps when you rotate the camera, and ya know, dual analog sticks, but i wouldn't say we've come leaps and bounds in the sense that FPS games have for example.

that jim review just kinda sounds like he was really bad at games in the n64 era, and mis-remembers his troubles as being the games' faults

that meta is pretty low though, idk lol

yeah i'm gonna reserve judgement until i can play it myself, but 2/10 is such a radically low score that it sounds kinda like he's just blowing steam; that's a score reserved for games that are just complete technical messes, not just games that are just boring or uninspired, which is what the game seemed to be at worst from a glance. but maybe it is a mess, I DON'T KNOW YET
Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: TooB on April 04, 2017, 12:55:42 PM
Yeah but Jim is full of it.

But all negatives I've seen say pretty much the same thing; that it feels to dated, and complaints about the "voices."

Which, honestly, what the hell did you expect? They showed all that prior to release.

If it feels the same as the toybox demo, then the controls are pretty dang good. So I can't agree on that complaint.

this jim guy is just the lavar ball of video games. idgaf who he is.

i heard yooka laylee is just boring. i mean you can tell by the trailers, it just feels empty. platformers need to have the atmosphere, and most games don't get it right. breath of the wild would be just another crappy open world fantasy game if it didnt have that atmsophere and polish.

so, its a problem of polish afaik. itd be cool if they teamed up with rare and made banjo threeie.

uncharted's platforming may not require much skill but it does require a modicum, sometimes more

the only part that's truly automatic is ledge grabbing

the ease of the game's platforming segments doesn't make it any less fun or any less worthy of the label "platformer" imo

it'a a mixed-genre ip, an action-adventure-platformer

wikipedia agrees

but uncharted isn't a third-person platformer in almost any sense of the word lol. it's a third-person shooter with traversal elements. it borrows some ideas, sure, but literally having jumping isn't the only criteria for a platforming game lol. by that merit we'd be considering Assassins Creed, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or even Grand Theft Auto 5 as platformers. I'm talking about games that rely on precision jumping and freely scaling a (typically) vertical space as their core mechanic. uncharted is more about holding x and forward to go across set-pieces while really only occasionally relying on precision to traverse environments.

why bother trying to make all your factories actually produce the hot new console that has supply issues when you could instead dedicate a chunk of them to make yet another brand new product that competes with yourself

Well, it's probably so they can continue selling Pokémon and other upcoming 3DS games in healthy quantities while shifting the focus slightly more toward the "New" 2DS/3DS exclusives.

I still don't doubt Switch will replace 3DS, but probably not until after they can bring the cost down further, maybe with a Switch Mini. There will definitely be at least one more future mainline Pokémon game for 3DS.
Title: Re: The sorry state of gaming
Post by: Hiro on April 28, 2017, 06:33:36 PM
I'm not too sure about a mainline Pokemon game, but definitely another pokemon release of some sort
I'd equate this to the gameboy micro in that they're both releasing after their successor and are just a cheaper way to keep selling units and remaining games in stock
that's really what this is, just having factories produce this cheaper option instead of the more expensive units with 3D screens, allowing nintendo to sell them at this much lower price point in order to keep the 3ds alive a bit longer

they do actually look pretty damn nice too

I mean, I don't think gen8 will be on 3ds (I sure hope not) but there's sure to be another set of gen7 games of some sort. Maybe a sequel, maybe a remake, maybe something else.

If anything, I could imagine Pokémon putting one version on 3DS and one on Switch, like Mystery Dungeon did with GBA/DS, but I think it's more likely the next games will be 3DS-only.

One, I don't even know where the fuck AoE 4 would go or do, and if AoE 3 is any indicator expanding on the formula just makes the game more cumbersome and kinda stupid

Two, Relics games have been progressively getting shittier and i dont know if their style of RTS really lends itself well to AoE either

both things considered, i will remain super cautiously optimistic, but i feel like this is a brand cashgrab that will be a mediocre, uncompetitve RTS that flops because of windows store exlusivity





also for the love of fucking god why cant they do Age of Mythology Definitive, and/or do Age of Mythology 2. It's easily the best game in the franchise and easily has the best growth potential because it's not as constrained by literal history.
