Re: The New Valkyria Chronicles Game Hasn't Gone Down Well with RPG Fans

Baircade

@LieutenantFatman Reminds me of Capcom and Resident Evil:. Don't f*ck with the core mechanics of a series if people love that about said games. Just create a new IP or spinoff or something.
Just because your focus testing group of twitchy tweens love [Action Games]/[Call of Duty] doesn't mean you should change a beloved [RPG]/[Survival] series into one. **sigh**

Re: Talking Point: Could Sucker Punch Really Make Spider-Man for PS4?

Baircade

As long as it has web slinging and isn't just another boring cookie-cutter open-world game I'm in.

All I want is:

  • Spider-Man 2 web slinging or better
  • decent voice acting (real voice actors, no famous people EXCEPT EMMA STONE)
  • **gasp** a good story.
  • (semi) open-world (so not boring unmemorable worlds like in Ubisoft games) or something more linear yet open like Uncharted/Dark Souls/DOOM
  • Venom. Venom. Venom.
  • No Doctor Octopus, no Sandman NO GREEN GOBLIN pls
  • only 2-4 types of collectables but make them do something worthwhile (comic pages, figurines, upgrades etc)
  • varied world design, not just all grey. give us a slightly more colorful visuals a la Uncharted 4.
  • important skills unlocked from the start (or pick a starter build like in Fallout [faster webslinging or longer shots etc etc) so you dont need to go though a 1-3hr tutorial before you can shoot and sling webs... (dont do a SkyWard Sword)

Re: Hideo Kojima Modelling New Studio on Media Molecule

Baircade

As it should be
Japanese companies are finally learning to change (for the better) though, especially at Nintendo and Square-Enix: More female devs, young 'n fresh teams, more positive and inviting offices and less slave labor

There have been quite a few releases from studios with at least 30% women & racial/sexual minorities selling really well and getting critically positive reactions. Animal Crossing New Leaf, Splatoon, The Last of Us, Life is Strange etc.

There is a different mindset: people with other experiences from other walks of life contributing to games really make a difference (compared to games made solely by straight white male devs or devs treated like crunch time slaves.)

Re: Review: DOOM (PS4)

@PlaytendoGuy Yeah, the embargo almost stopped me from buying the game...and it wasn't even needed at all XD

This is the first game in years I have bought before the reviews were out so I'm glad my gut feeling was right.

Re: Review: DOOM (PS4)

I love how fresh playing an old-school shooter feels n_n
First shooter in years that I'm actually addicted to Now give us Unreal Tournament on PS4

@Cron_13 If there is one guy I trust in gaming journalism, its the Sterling.

But of course its all opinion, I just trust the guy because pretty much every game he has praised I loved and every game he hates I didn't like either. (only 2-3 exceptions)
Once you find the critics with the same taste in gaming and same world view as you, you can basically focus on their reviews.

Re: Hands On: Outlast 2 Scares Up Playable Demo at PAX East

Baircade

I'm impressed they managed to make a sequel different enough yet still feel like Outlast. I am wayyyyy too scared to finish the first one but I will probably give this one a try when its on sale for a fiver

Seriously I get heart palpitations and physical pain from the stress these games give me, to a point where I'm basically advised to avoid them XD but who can resist all the excitement... Curiosity killed the cat after all.

Re: Poll: Do You Want More Family Friendly Platformers on PS4?

Baircade

No doubt about it. There are many 2D platforms but 3D mascot platforms have basically died, and its not because there is no demand for it.

Just like Castlevania and Bloodstained, Banjo and Yooka-Laylee and Mighty Nr 9, we still want those type of games but publishers only listen to 10yrs olds in focus groups who don't even know what they want for breakfast let alone think of anything other than COD clones and MOBAs. /rant

Re: Soapbox: Subtleties of the Souls Series That Make It Special

Baircade

What makes the Souls series as good as Zelda for me?:

  • the world/level design is the best in the industry
  • the visuals are bleak but still gorgeous
  • the combat feels so good and is addictive
  • the music is incredible
  • the story and lore aren't shoved in your face, it rewards discovery
  • the pay-off of overcoming obstacles is enormous
  • the formula works so well that you want a new game as soon as you finish the last one
  • one of the few games that feel like a game and not a way to sell micro transactions

just a few things

Re: Poll: So, Which Souls Game Is the Best?

Baircade

Bloodborne with Dark Souls 3 being a close second for now, but I'm only at the 3rd boss XD

Bloodborne was my first so it will always be my favorite... And I'm one of the few who loves Dark Souls 2...

The Souls series is actually the first non-Nintendo series I love as much as Zelda, and that is not a small feat. I want more more more! Give me a Demon's Souls remake! a Dark Souls remake with the DS3/BB engine...a Bloodborne 2! I need my yearly Souls!

Re: Titanfall 2 Teaser Trailer Confirms PS4 Release

Baircade

I will only buy it if it has a 10hr+ single player campaign.

Call me old-fashioned but I have no desire to play non co-op multiplayer games...I prefer fighting AI than battle annoying humans. I've tried and tried but I just can't get myself to enjoy playing against others. I am not competitive at all.
