I don't know how GoT's "realism" could be easily translated into a squad-based fantasy rpg, it seems completely antithetical to a group of traveling heroes righting wrongs. Will they only be using dull, muted colors like gray and brown and having more characters die? I hope the devs got comped for buying and watching it in their off time at least. Sounds like it's gonna be a shitshow.

It's not. As you can tell by all the trailers and dialogue, Final Fantasy 16 is just as campy as the rest of the FF games. None of them have been anywhere near serious enough to be grimdark.

 No.28052

>>28051
Its going to more Nobledark than Grimdark. Lots of violence, dark themes and intrigue, but ultimately still a heroic fantasy with all the stuff that it entails, akin to Warcraft rather than ASOIAF, Berserk or the Elric Saga.

I’ve been walking out more often and coming back to some of my pc games and found that a lot of them look fake, granted a lot of my favourites are games like oblivion, fc2 and fallout 3 which are old but some are also new games. I took some images of nature and my city and came to the conclusion that video game graphics still look fake because they’re fake in nature

In real life, materials are never consistent. Similar in qualities yes but multifarious when observed on a larger scale. Grass is constantly deviating in colours, types and scale, cracks and bumps on alloys always come in different patterns and frequencies of their appearance. Same goes for objects, you can work around this but it’s really taxing on computers to implement a sort of procedural/splatting technique for modeling 3d objects and texturing everything to make games feel a lot more believable than solely rely on rearranging meshes and cover ground textures with instances grass

 No.28030

The problem with procedurally generating textures in order to make them more distinct is the same problem as just having a lot of unique textures hand-crafted or sourced from photography or something. You still end up needing to store a large amount of texture files to keep things consistent. You might be able to get around this is you use a random seed type of system, so that you don't have to store the textures in the game files, but you still have to store them in system memory when you load a scene unless you have a way to instantiate the procedural textures at render time.

This would never work. There’s a reason for why tlou2 and mw2 had such freakishly large file sizes. Just look at the textures for objects not related to the terrain

I lost 40 hours on my 80+ hour Etrian Odyssey 4 save where I'd already beaten the game since I was an idiot and deleted my most recent backup by accident and the closest one before that was halfway through the game. I wouldn't mind replaying it to complete it again but fuck it if I'm going through Golden Lair again.

When I was a kid my brother overwrote my Black & White save where I was on the final level, which was probably 30-40 hours of playtime. In KOTOR 2 I got that Nar Shaddaa bug that softlocks the game, I didn't have any backups from before reaching the planet and got so pissed I didn't pick up the game again for another couple years. Recently in Kenshi I lost a save I'd put more than a hundred hours into because of a weird outpost assault bug that reliably crashed the game even after disabling mods and importing. I was basically done with the game so it wasn't too bad.

When I am done playing a game I make a point to delete the save data. It helps remove any incentive to spend more time playing it when I could do something else, and it makes me feel like God deleting the universe and everything in it.

hi data mining person, please tell to your bosses that I don't want another disco elysium or the witcher saga. stop wasting money writing scripts and stories: I consciously refuse to read game dialogs. and no, adding more rails to your rail adventure games doesn't make them open world. come up with some actual game mechanics with emergent gameplay potential and I might consider spending money on your product

Greetings customer, might I suggest Battle Brothers or Wartales? They are open world tactical RPGs, in which you manage a group of mercenaries in a low-fantasy medieval world, taking various contracts and building your reputation with factions, exploring, fighting or trading in order to lead your company to wealth and glory. Both games are critically acclaimed and available on Steam and GOG store.

A delightful game, but I never really managed to get into it. The company size is at fault, at the beginning you grow attached to your brothers, getting levels and equipment for them is exciting, but when you have 15 guys micromanaging them is just tedious.

I can’t believe knowing that after it was abondoned so many years ago that I’m still torn over it. I’ve never seen a game in my life that looks distinctly like anthem, the sense of scale that brings back memories of morrowind, the unique geometry of the terrain similar to earths or Minecraft’s new caves that makes you want to explore every inch of terrain out there, the fact that unlike most games that keep you grounded in anthem you become airborne as a core element of gameplay.

I NEED a game that has these kinds of mechanics and aesthetics so bad. Every time I come back to this game I get hit with a pang of sadness knowing what could’ve been, it’s like seeing rdr2 and tlou2 or kill zone 3. You always wonder where games could’ve been if that level of quality and uniqueness in game design became a standard for the industry

>starting the game fighting alongside the Mujaheddins against the Soviets

having played through MGSV and captured every area in the afghanistan map and just fucking around a lot, I think one thing I found really annoying about the game is that there are literally zero civilians. And only one mujahideen charcter, malak, shows up in a mission, and he's a medic. It's like the incoherent storyline only works by focusing entirely on the soviets and omitting the people they are supposedly imperializing (while ignoring the saur revolution and operation cyclone, and the fact that the soviets were invited in by a revolutionary government in kabul)

ITT we complain about overrated games or games we were looking forward to but ended up not living to our expectations.

My number 1 spot would go to Witcher 3. I was a fan of books and games, played Witcher 2 on lowest setting at like 10fps because thats the best my old computer could handle. When Witcher 3 came out it swept the awards, everybody was praising it a the greatest RPG of all time, so when years later I finally got a new laptop I was so excited to play it. And then I was greeted with a generic ubisoft-tier open world gameplay, repetitive combat, lacking RPG mechanics, god-awful progression system, and frankly a bastardization of Gerald as a character for the same of making him into the Elder Scrolls protagonist. Even the quality of writing ended up squandered because every quest just boiled down to blindly following a quest marker.

Warhammer: Total War is a contender though. Again, was stuck playing Medieval 2 because computer couldnt run newer titles, picked the specs for the new one based on Warhammer 3 requirements, only to finally get to play it and realize how much that series regressed over the years. Even fucking visuals got in some ways worse.

IDK about that, mostly saw people praising his quest line, which is one of the better ones in the game. Anyhow, I think the main story is pretty mediocre, but that's pretty similar to the books themselves, the source material is not all that great outside of the two short stories collections, which weren't focused on Ciri that much.

There's not much I can say about this game that hasn't already been said over the years. I got a mild interest in metal gear playing rising as a teen but I wasn't driven to go play the rest of the games until I saw the 2013 E3 trailer for phantom pain, and it looked so cool to me that I saved up for the legacy collection for ps3 and played through the mainline series and PW a few months before TPP released.

I liked the game the first several hours I played but fell out of it halfway through when I realized how bland the environments and mission design were. The game gives you a ton of options and the most effective one will always be shooting soldiers with a tranq and then launching them with a fulton so they're gone for good without having to kill them. There's hardly any The cost of making weapons started to rear its head and I would do shit like leave my ps3 on while I was at school (side ops missions you sent soldiers on took IRL time too now that I remember) because a gun took 9 IRL hours to make. FOBs felt half assed and MGO3 was fun for a day until they patched all the busted shit and it became a bland, both made me wish they just axed both of them during development and implemented coop instead like in PW. The story's significance to the overall plot of the series is hilarious, especially with how the marketing was hyping it up as the final thread to everything.

Well, I just finished Metro: Last Light since Steam was giving it free (and since I read 2033 a long time ago I knew it to be written by the scum that is a liberal russian). So yeah, we did it guys! The base is secured and the reds are dead! So full of anger they are that they are red!
The game played itself apart from the beasts that torn you up if you didn't buy shotgun shells. And sadly Beria 2.0 loses in both endings.
How to say it? Apart from the obvious white russian adjacent propaganda (insert Trotsky as a demon a top a mountain of skeletons kind) it is slow but decent 6/10 (I would have given it a 7 but seeing the old -maybe it was a mania in games from its time- walk through ventilations and hear everything in exposition trope tired me by the 3rd time it happened)
