@StarWorld90 @ChristinaTasty @FishEggsOrourke In this instance how would a 'game over' screen really improve your immersion and your feeling of interaction?

@bennybox27 @ChristinaTasty @FishEggsOrourke Most games don't, yet they still let you fail. They just make you try again.

Explaining why I, personally, hate Mixtape in just under 3 minutes of totally uninterrupted "gameplay" (Spoilers):

@moosetgh @ChristinaTasty @FishEggsOrourke You just described exactly what happens in this scene. How OP goes through the scene without jumping and sliding IS different than if you do. Sure you still get to the same place, but, the character is constantly running into and stumbling over shit that she doesn't if you engage

@bennybox27 @ChristinaTasty @FishEggsOrourke Yeah but you could do this whole scene with alot more interactions, look at the photo scene, all they had to do was have a qte and if u fail the qte u ruin the photo but u keep running You can keep the character running while still allowing interaction

@ChristinaTasty @FishEggsOrourke Not every game has a branching narrative, what the fuck are you talking about

@FishEggsOrourke It's more so that this is the part of the game where something is on the line. Your friend is about to get in trouble. Somehow, with some work, you can hit a car with your skateboard, but you can't mess up and be too late to save your friend?

@Chris_Dring I have no idea how somebody can read any of this and not see how utterly empty it all is. Just paragraph on paragraph of vapid corporate platitudes

@Genki_JPN Best graphics does not equal best art

Expedition 33 is an amazing game and deserves all the recognition it gets but I do think it would have been nice for Death Stranding 2 to win at least one award. Like Best Art Direction or something. It’s a game I also really enjoyed playing this year.

@ChipHooWah @PaulTassi gacha slop always wins players voice what are you talking about

@PaulTassi Its winning everything from critics but not players choice. No hate, it's prolly my goty (personal) but I found that really interesting.

To be clear, me being unsurprised Expedition 33 is winning everything is not me saying Expedition 33 does not deserve to win everything, because it absolutely does

@BTizzle02 @PaulTassi bro is on to nothing

@PaulTassi It losing Player’s Voice is telling.

Expedition 33 beats KCD2 for Best RPG. This has gotta be the most anticlimactic show ever lol

@JeffGrubb @mrpyo1 "They hated him because he spoke the truth"

@mrpyo1 It's not even the best Arkham game

We all agree that Batman Arkham City is the best superhero game right?

@allenvonghornet I really felt that those extra padded days at then end were there because the devs expected you to do most if not all dungeons in more than one day (farming mage for mp regen really fucked that whole thing up)

Metaphor ReFantazio had too many extra days at the end, it’s also very generous with letting you do everything in one playthrough. Most games let you finish everything before you beat the final boss even if it’s distracting, it just being a simulator makes it feel kinda sloggy

@Eagle7D8 @LegacyKillaHD

If you have replies disabled it's clear you think it flopped but want to force a narrative @LegacyKillaHD maybe repost with replies open.

@JeremyPenter Let people make the silly joke

There is no indication nor history nor even a hint that Rockstar takes pricing ideas from Nintendo. That is flatly re-damned-diculus. If GTA launches at 100 it was going to do so FAR before Nintendo showed prices today. That's a stunning almost asinine thought process.

@dragonbornriver @mcdizzle17 Evil West fucked so hard

@mcdizzle17 Many focus games go out under the radar. Like Evil West

Out of all the recent games that failed, they made sense to me. This one, not so much! Players and critics seemed to enjoy it, there was a bit of marketing, but it flopped badly.
