we call that bad writing

aka higurashi

The first game had actually good writing I think when it came to the cases. You could deduct who might be the Killer, what might be a trap set by the Killer etc.

Case 2+3 in Dangan 2 arent like that though. It feels like, judging by the writing, everyone could actually be the Killer.

Eh, my first impression of ARMA 3 (free weekend on Steam by the way) isn't good. Default controls are absolutely terrible. Unless I'm overlooking something in the controls settings, you can't change it either. While the keyboard movement is on par with industry standard, they seem to differentiate looking and aiming with the mouse. So you can look behind you for example, but your weapons are still facing forward. Surely I'm just overlooking something and they didn't mean it to be like this?

 

[Dice]

No idea what you're talking about. I bought ARMA 3 last year and it was normal from the start.

Then it's a weird ass glitch because I can look left, right and behind me like usual, but I can't actually fire in that direction, only the direction the body itself is facing.

Hold ALT, and you can use your mouse to move your head. Double press it, and you switch your mouse controls from being used by default to move your weapon to moving your head. Pretty useful, specially in vehicles.

Definitely not a glitch, you're still just discovering all the options the game offers. It definitely doesn't do a great job at teaching you. I still believe the original Operation Flashpoint (it goes by Arma Cold War Assault these days) does a much better job at introducing you to all the mechanics. It also has one of the best single player campaigns of any game ever. Those of every other Arma including 3 are mostly rubbish.

I knew it couldn't be on purpose and I'm all for subtlety, but this wasn't very clear. Thanks I'll give the double ALT a try.

It takes a while to actually figure out all the controls and freedom of movement/positioning you're given in ARMA 3, especially if you're coming to it expecting a more standard FPS. You might want to look at Dslyecxi's guide for ARMA 3.

Graphical analysis usually gets a separate thread, wtf at the last one.

I didn't play Uncharted 4, but was its multiplayer so groundbreaking that it warranted an OT? And posting screenshots is what people usually do in the OT, no?

Wait

are we actually defending Higurashi's setup to the twist

Guys
The twist is left field with no foreshadowing in the entire thing. It's as stupid as it can be. Hell, we talk about

Spoiler

aliens

for a super long time as a side tangent.

But yeah, Higurashi set up a twist that was so much less than what we were dealing with in setup.

I like the way Dangan 2 reveals murderer more because you'll discover it at the same time as the characters.

In Dangan 1, you always knew way before they even reveals it. I mean during the early case, you can even guess who the killer is after you found the body. It's boring.

No it only got a multiplayer OT because The Last of Us Remastered for some reason had one. I don't know.

Looking at who got banned and who didn't is very interesting.

Big games often get separate MP threads. Stellaris has one too for example but it was made here in Community where imo those should be if it isn't a MP-only title like Overwatch.

 

[cyba89]

Well obviously not all at the same time, but yeah there were a plenty of active DS3 threads in the two weeks between Japan and western release and after western release.
Bloodborne maybe had a bigger impact in a short timeframe because that one got an almost simultanious release everywhere, while with DS3 people and streamers already played japanese and even localized version two weeks before the rest

Uncharted 4 is a huge release in a lot of way - fans of the series are (obviously) excited about it and newcomers to the series that didn't own a PS3 have a good jumping off point. The game has some seriously impressive graphics tech for the hardware it's running on, and it's getting almost unanimous praise in the press - gaming and otherwise.

Considering other titles it's releasing against (mainly, Doom) it's not surprising to see so many threads open in gaming side at once - this is pretty normal for a game like Uncharted, but it will eventually fizzle out as people finish the game and move on to the next big release. Dark Souls III was pretty similar - even hit indie games like Stardew Valley have seen multiple active threads on gaming side before.

Doom seems to have very good reviews on Steam and decent concurrent #.

But we've built a narrative here that Sony fanboys are insane, I think we should stick with it.

[morningbus]

I don't particularly care about the number of threads made or anything, but let's not pretend that Sony fans aren't a bit more zealous than others, either.

Sony exclusive games get more threads than Microsoft exclusives.
Multiplatform games often get Sony-specific threads. (I remember this one with the Witcher 3)
Multiplatforms games, especially ones that are PC and PS4 only, usually only get threads referencing the existence of the PS4 version. (To be fair here, this is because many of these threads seem to be sourced from the Sony blog, so it makes some sense but is frequent enough to be annoying)

This is mostly a function of the PS4 being the leader in the market, so it's whatever. But let's not give them a free pass, either.

 

[derExperte]

Finished Love at First Sight, another one for the pile of highly rated but disappointing VNs that didn't do anything for me. At least the art isn't completely terrible but the story never goes beyond cliché school drama and there isn't even a lot of drama, just long stretches of 'I'm not worthy....no, I really like you....no....yes....no'. Wants to make a point about bullying which is commendable but the writing isn't there and considering the main focus is a one-eyed girl the game just isn't weird enough. Except the touching the scars thing. To be fair the dev himself says pretty much the same in the extras.

But we've built a narrative here that Sony fanboys are insane, I think we should stick with it.

The number of threads only tells half the story. I dare you to click on one.

That's the point though. Having only the bog-standard movement control would negate all the tactical options the series offers. To be fair, the acclimation phase can take a good while. Only after a solid dozen hours did I start grasping the fine uses of ordering different classes to different stances and ROE. Once it clicks though.... man it clicks good. Nothing quite like it. Very satisfying to overcome bad odds with zero casualties or harmed.

Meanwhile the huge list of bugs and the broken anti-cheat system are always the same.

Also why nobody is talking about Doom? Is the game so bad people already forgot about it?
