I think I'm near the end of RE Village. Game has been a hell of an experience so far and I'm normally very lukewarm on fps games and RE in general (always been more of a Silent Hill guy), but this has won me over. Don't know that I'll play all of them but I'm really looking forward to running through RE7 in VR after I finish this one.

Lots of good stuff to be had in the RE games.  I recommend playing 4 and the 2 remake while you're at it. 4 is my favorite, 2 remake is the scariest (haven't tried 7 in VR) among what I've played.

[DoctaMario]

@Chadouken i played the demo and I don't know that I even made it through the whole thing, but those are the type of horror games I want. Though I think I had to take a Dramamine before I played it. Getting old is the shits. 😔

I've never been super into the zombies thing other than house of the dead, but Village, while it has elements of that, isn't what I would classify as a zombie game I guess. I had RE1 on DS and tried to get into RE2 on psx but they never grabbed me. Maybe I'll try 4 after I play 7.

[Faltimar the Dark]

I like the first person view in RE7.  I'm still playing that game and still having trouble with it.

 

 

I'm seeing you guys trash on that Gotham Knights game so I watched a video of it and I gotta say, I think maybe you guys are exaggerating a bit.  I really have no interest in the game but it dont look as bad as you guys are makin' it out to be.

[RSG3]

It's graphically worse then Arkham Knight lol. Combat looks decently stiffer to. Not as well animated it seems. 

 

I think it looks perfectly mid. I'll try to cop it to play with my brother when it's down around 40 bucks or lower I think. 

[BornWinner]

Ito once again having enough of Silent Hill fans. Debunks that James was actually looking at the player.

I've never been able to enjoy the fixed cam RE's either. The RE2 remake is massively different to play, I wouldn't write it off based on your experience with the original.

When Gotham Knights becomes a budget title by Black Friday it might be worth picking up

Don't know if I've fought one yet. I just made it to the Volcano Keep earlier tonight. I had taken a break for a few weeks when new Destiny shit dropped, but now I'm back in it with ER. Fucking game is so sick.

 

Is Radahn the big dude on the beach in Caelid? I beat that fucker.

They are the centipede monsters with human limbs for legs.

The more footage of Gotham Knights I see the more I'm beginning to think that Batgirl's ass is the only good thing about the fucking game

 

 

like you gotta admit that's some fine work on the artists' part

Dev 1: "We need to optimize the code to get the game to 60fps." 

Dev 2: "But, we aren't finished modelling Batgirls ass."

Dev 1: "Dammit man, we had to cancel the last gen versions because you couldn't stop working on her ass..."

So I was playing Nier Automata a few nights ago. You know how a lot of areas are locked off by an invisible wall to keep you from falling off? Well, there's a wooden bridge in the City Ruins area. I'm crossing it, thinking that the invisible wall is still in play when I start jumping.

 

Game: 

 

 

I fall, and fall, and fall. When I finally hit the bottom I not only found out that 1, there is fall damage, and 2, there are some strong enemies below this bridge. I'm at level 5. The robots down here? All of them are near level 30. I land in front of one of those stronk robots. So I heal and run away to an isolated area. I lure these robots away one by one and pick them off. By the time I get out of that area and make it back to the surface I'm at level 8 and feeling like a MF BOSS.

Just saw the first 10 minutes of Bayonetta 3 is up on Youtube, so if you care, watch yourselves out there.

 

...I might watch it..

[Saikyotic]

The best look into all sides of the Bayonetta 3 voice acting debacle. An actual good read, which I don't find often nowadays, especially in videogame journalism.

This is kind of why I think some form of residuals should be attached to VAing. It's really stupid and fucked up they can use your archived voice and not pay you for it. Yea I didn't make new content, but you made new content and you stuck my voice on it to help make said money, I should see something for that. 

 

It's a new product if they use her voice (or anyone's voice for that matter) they should be paid for it, new content or archived voice work is pretty irrelevant to me in the long run

Pretty good review of Scorn if anyone is interested:

It's more of an atmospheric experience and it's worth playing for the level design.  I did think it seemed a tad slow after playing Amid Evil but that's not really this game's fault.

There is no way I am watching a 14 hour review.  2 hours is really pushing it.

I just killed two fucks that Tanith bitch told me to kill. Well, she told Patches to kill one of them but he got me to do it because he's a pussy. I didn't fuck anything up by killing them did I? I know these From games have stuff in them you can miss by killing certain fucks.

If you didn't kill them you would have missed shit. You should do all of Taniths quest line so as not to miss stuff. 

 

I'm playing currently myself.

Okay? That doesn’t excuse the fact of how needlessly excessive and unnecessarily long it is. 

[Sonichuman]

14 hours is a lot to even just casually listen to on one game.  I'm curious if he can provide something interesting enough to justify the 14 hours because I have a feeling he probably can't.

[Lantis]

The issue here is to see him not repeating himself or going over the same points over and over again where it becomes too dull.

[RSG3]

Yea, that's the issue, does he really have 14 hours worth of things to say about Persona 4?

[Hecatom]

Gonna put it on the background later, and will tell you 🤣

how bout a 6 hour review for a obscure jap only game?

tim rogers also did a 10 hour review of cyberpunk 2077.

so this is nothing new for me. welcome to the edge of madness.

I've watched a rew long retrospectives/reviews from Luke Stephens and I noticed he sometimes repeats himself, meanwhile Noah Cardwell just pours out his thoughts in a long ass script and his videos are known to be 3+ hours when covering certain subjects (such as entire series retrospectives). Guess it's just a trap some people fall into when writing

Why the fuck would I watch a dude talk about a video game for 14 hours instead of just playing video games? There are a lot of games I could beat in 14 hours 😂

I understand being a content creator takes dedication to be unique.... but holy shit wouldn't having a real job be easier than making a college semester of lectures around video games?

 

Also I was skimming through this video and thought this segment was funny:

If we have books analyzing movies, a 14 hours video dissecting an 80+ hours video game is nothing.

on PSN there's a sale on Diablo 3 Eternal Collection right now; it's just 20 bucks and change (as a 10 year old game that should be the normal price at this point).  As crazy as it sounds... yes I'm tempted even though I already play this game on XB1 and Switch regularly.  

 

Man, and I thought that 5+hour retrospective about the Nickelodeon show "Victorious" they keep recommending to me was ridiculous... 14 hours nah bruh...and I say this as someone who frequently watches those long-form panel/podcast shows; usually I end up falling asleep to them... and even they tend to close the show around 4 or 5 hours at the most, usually (reminds me of the old days of the Howard Stern show; it was usually about 3.5 to 4 hours if I recall).  14 hours?

A lot of retrospectives and content that I put up and that other people put up I put in my watch later file folder on youtube to listen to while I'm driving or while I'm at work.  There's also times when I'm somewhere without my switch like at one of my wife's relative's house and having some of these keeps me from being completely bored.  I can't speak for others but often times a good retrospective can be a nice to listen to like a podcast.  Listening or watching a 1-2 hour retrospective or a video essay on a game or aspect of the industry is pretty feasible in my eyes depending upon how the person is approaching it.  When it starts getting into 3-4+ hours it's usually something talking about an entire series and not just one game.   I can't imagine someone talking about one game for 14 hours and it all being consistently interesting but if that guy somehow manages to do it then good on him.

That makes a lot more sense to me, something I hadn't considered. I imagined sitting in front of a computer screen for 14 hours watching a video about a video game instead of playing it, lol. But the utility of having it on as more of an audio book while driving actually sounds reasonable.

A remastered version of my favorite cinematic from D3... one of the coolest scenes in gaming, imo...

"Even in the heart of Heaven... angels can still feel fear..."

 

[Faltimar the Dark]

I thought this was pretty neat -

Translated - "I never showed you my homemade pincab  it only works with the Nintendo Switch, the current game is not to be taken into account I could not film and play at the same time.

Everything was done by myself except for the pinball feet"

 

 

I started playing Scorn.  Its pretty cool.  I have no idea what is going on but I seem to be makin' progress.

You won't miss anything by killing them. However, do not kill Rykard while the manor quest lines are active. Everyone will leave if you kill the boss man leaving them incomplete
