I've recently gotten into the RE series. I've played 4, 5, 7, and the remake of the first game.
The only other legit RE game on the PS4 is RE 6.
It's divise AF from what I've heard. Is it worth the $60?

It is not a very good horror game. At all.
BUT it is one of the most well-designed third-person shooters from a Japanese dev. Some of the environment is great too, like the parts in China. There's some stupid QTEs, but they aren't much of a bother.
Better than RE5, which was just trying to be a shameless clone of RE4 with injected co-op. Better than those boring Revelations games.

Why couldn't Kojima just stop at MGS4?!
It should've ended at 4.

Stop hating shit just because it's new. Phantom Pain has a shit story but the most fun gameplay of the series.

Could video games be made for the old target audience again of just your common boy and gamer geeks? Does that market still even exist or has the internet split everyone up too much? I would say that Xbox, Sony, and Steam caters to these audiences now, but there's something not genuine in these audiences compared to late 80s and throughout the 90s (though everything started to marginalized near the late 90s with the PS1 and snes).

in what way do you mean?
>>
It's common and old business practice to precisely determine your product's target audience, and focus your efforts and design towards that audience. It simply works, is biz & design 101 stuff, and resulted tons of great games and entire series.
Somewhere along the lines, big vidya publishers stopped caring about this practice, and out of pure greed and laziness started practicing this "EVERYONE must be able to enjoy (read: play) our game", resulting significant streamlining, simplification and numerous handholding elements, all of which form what people now call "casualization". Very few IPs have managed to avoid this death-trap business practice cancer, which is why we're seeing so many lukewarm, mediocre reboots, sequels and spinoffs. It's made worse, even fueled by the fact that nowadays, we have a whole generation of players who grew with this kind of underwhelming and patronizing crap, so even a tiny deviation and big marketing words (ie. "we're going back to the roots!") are enough to impress them.
Meanwhile, whenever we get some of those truly "oldschool" experiences, be it via remasters or surprise new titles, they tend to sell damn well and get good reviews, even if they miss the "wider audience appeal". Why? Because the ages old proven methods won't stop working over night, and those "old audiences" do not disappear. Anyone claiming that "You just CAN'T make games like that in 201x!" is a delusional, ignorant moron, who clearly is afraid that his comfy, almost automated hobby turns more challenging and time consuming once again. Said people really should not ever even try to make a game.

The question is, could those old audiences be recaptured? And how

I just got to that exact part too. My guess is that he acts reluctant to help all the time even though we see him perform abilities during combat.

I started an Underrail thread the other day, but had to split.
Can we keep talking about it a bit more?
For those who forgot, it's on sale at the moment on Humble.

Sure. But if you want to just casually talk about the game, try /vg/. Maybe you'll have more luck there.
>>
>>376141704
Mneh. Thought I could convince a few people extra to try the game.
>>
>>376140947
I like underrail but i had to export my character and start again to enjoy it.
Initially the game is really restrictive and you really need to do all quests, kill everything and commit to a build or the game will push your shit in.
Also emp grenades remove shields.
After the way to core city opens up the game is 100x better and there are tons more things to do and grind if you need to.
Its one of the few games i would recommend doing your first play though on easy.

>I'm thus gated into 30 page pastebins and other fan translations
Is this truly okay?
To make your characters frankly bland in the game and then provide a huge wealth of more information and characterisation for them outside the actual experience?
What real motivation is there to care about 2B? What real motivation is there to care for her death, when she has had so extremely little character building and actual characterisation?
What is the motivation to care about the romance between 9S and 2B when all the interesting stuff about it is either outside the game or just alluded to, not actually shown?
For all the praise and glory the game has gotten for its storytelling and how it uses the medium to tell its story, this is just.... like why?
I could have lived with the combats flaws and even the ridiculously bland open world, but this is the one thing I heard the game completely nailed - the story. Then when I find out that I spent full asking price on a game that doesn't even tell its own story fully inside itself, I'm kinda miffed.
Nier Automata thread I guess.

Nobody has any real justification aside from "Its Taro so I'm ok with it lol"
Automata has a decent story on paper, but /how/ it tells it is completely wasteful and inefficent
>>
>>376140732
It's a cool concept, but not really that good for the person wanting to experience it all. In Automata, you supposed to care about 2B and 9S just because they are the main characters, and thus magically deserving of your attention. Most people just end up being impressed by the summon to get help ending, or the "twist" that humans were never alive to begin with.
>>
>>376140874
This. Taro does things "outside of the box". So people can say that if you think it's bad, then you just don't "get it." But the truth is that sometimes taking risks and doing things differently doesn't make for a more enjoyable or meaningful experience. It just makes it lame. This is one of those times.
Does anyone on /v/ remember soldat?
