New video of Vice City in GTA 6.

@GosuRoriChan @yakuza3d2a spoken like someone that's never played Earthbound lol it's offbeat and sure, even quirky, but there's a large divide between genuinely quirky and "quirk chungus". there is a league of difference in writing quality between the two.

@IndomitableJamz @yakuza3d2a bruv earthbound IS the og quirkchungus game

I commend the immense amount of effort it takes to do these kinds of projects but homogenizing Mother 1 to be more like its sequel (or like Mother 3) flattens a lot of its stylistic differences
FantasyAnime@FantasyAnime
MOTHER (NES) has been completely remade in 16-bit using EarthBound's engine! 🤯 This incredible project was 19 years in the making, faithfully recreating the entire game with EB-style visuals while preserving the original adventure. Grab the patch here: ebbr.neocities.org

@Marionete04 as a result. i always describe it as like, BotW is more of a Team Ico style experience within an open Hyrule, whereas TotK felt to me more like an evolution of the traditional Zelda fare within that established Hyrule.
English
@Marionete04 aww yea, glad to see you enjoyed it! i see it getting so much hate these days and it will always baffle me. yeah, BotW may be a better "experience" that first time through, but i genuinely felt like TotK introduced a lot that i felt BotW should have had, and felt more complete

@DabitoBrochiha @DrakeVagabond i'll even take like.. Nioh/Sifu/Rise of the Ronin/Bujingai/Astral Chain man, just gimme some good combos lol
English
You'll notice that not a single combo is ever used. It's all special moves one after the other in rapid succession.
Nicola@Nick_Marseil
The Norse saga combat is so much better than the Greek games I'm shocked it's even debate material. The gameplay to cutscenes ratio is also overwhelmingly in favor of the last two games yet it's them that get labeled "movies".
English
@animejumpz i'm all for emulation but maybe this game isn't the example to argue that for tbh lol
English
@animejumpz i tried a few years ago, and i've been considering it again, but after 60ish hours i got locked in a boss battle through some apparently pretty common emulation issues. i really wanna see it through but i don't want to dump that much time in for potentially the same results
English
As someone who just recently finished xenogears, this is pathetic. Just pick up the controller & emulate it dawg it's not that hard. I hope that second line is sarcasm.
el@slowlyn_
Starting xenogears! Can't wait to become a part of the Xenoblade Fandom.

@DabitoBrochiha @DrakeVagabond damn that looks boring, you got any DMC/Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden/Greek GoW combo vids

@MoreLimitless i loved that aspect of it, once the crystal revelations started rolling out.. game really surprised me, not gonna lie. uncultured people just see dark fantasy and immediately think of GoT nowadays.. if it had drawn as heavily from that as people like to claim, i wouldn't have
English
Another ignorant example of people not realizing FFXVI was inspired by way more than just GoT…
There was no “bait and switch” if you played any of the pixel games specifically, even FFT, it becomes very obvious that CS3 were not very subtle with going back to the roots of FF narratively and in setting.
I mean god damn, thematically 16 does something brilliant, being this inverse of what we’ve come to know about the legacy of the crystals the franchise introduced us to.
Anime Outsiders@animeoutsiders
FF16 was such a bait-and-switch. We all thought it was returning to classic FF roots with the more pure-medieval setting, until the game came out and it turned out to be a cynical attempt to cash in on Game of Thrones' popularity, but had come out long after GoT had shot itself in the foot and people had started to hate it. Still not the worst bait-and-switch the franchise ever pulled. That was FF7 Remake.

My favorite thing about the "Cinematic, far more story-focused" Norse GoW games is that they're less cinematic with a far worse story than the ogs
b0ysbrokenheart@b0ysbrokenheart
The sense of scale in the OGs is just on another level it's so cool.

@Shuggs820 @Brokowski25 Cool cinematics ≠ Being Great.
Story is yawn and the locales are pretty boring for most of the game. Let’s be honest.
English
@Brokowski25 ofc it ain't Wukong, game isn't even a soulslike. P is better but damn you're retarded if you think Wukong is the most overrated game of the decade in a world with E33, Balder's Gate 3, etc.
English
Reminder that there is only one non-fromsoft soulslike that works 🔥
And it sure as shit isn’t black myth wukong🗑️
Brokowski@Brokowski25
Possibly the most overrated game of the decade
English
@KRATOS11111111 @JstSomeRndomGuy idk, still looks like the same janky/clunky bs as the other Norse games, just now with equally janky/clunky aerial combat and a protagonist that slides all over the ground cuz they can't give her proper animations
English
@JstSomeRndomGuy Idk, the gameplay of Laufey look really great
English
WRONG. I see none of that here. Mid-air attacks ≠ Greek DNA. There's a crucial aspect that's missing & it's why GoW: Laufey's aerial combat looks so BORING and WEIGHTLESS: Gravity. Without gravity, aerial decision-making vanishes and without proper challenge, it's BORING as fuck
Santa Monica Studio – God of War Laufey@SonySantaMonica
Modern God of War combat system 🤝 Classic Greek era DNA
English
@full_gamerr @JstSomeRndomGuy no, "ranganork" gameplay does NOT look better lmfao, and Greek saga feels perfectly weighted, Norse feels TOO heavy and is clunky as a result cuz muh realism and muh cinematic bs. fuck outta here tourist
English
@JstSomeRndomGuy 1. You play like ass ranganork gameplay looks better
2. You can launch yourself towards enemies in ragnarok as well
3. All Greek saga feels as weight less if you’re good at the games, holy fucking larping ass motherfucker
English
@RinoTheBouncer Zelda ofc. i'm sure GTA would be fine but i'm sorta over cinematic, "realistic" AAA games
English
