like this has to be the worst nu-v meme of them all, like seriously what the fuck does this mean? It's literally a statement without meaning, it's a pointless, worthless buzzword term. take your movie and go somewhere else

It's 'good' detective mystery for someone who has never read even the simplest bestseller criminal novel and the ending is simply retarded on all levels - logically, narratively, dramaturgically. I'll give you that the setting is comfy.

literally any monster hunter game. i don't even need to name one, because some fucking slavering MHfag is already slamming his fingers into his keyboard, full of iniquity and loathing that he neither understands nor has the depth to address

monster hunter has the worst fanbase of all, because the rudimentary patience, skill and knowhow it takes to participate gives so many dull adolescents license to shit out of their mouths at anything with context to monster hunter

the idea that monster hunter world actually upset these fucking discards gives me a potent erection

If you ignore the writing and gameplay, I guess. But then what's the good part?

I un-ironically liked Reach. Its not my favorite but it fits right behind halo's 2 and 3 on my list. 3 was the best in terms of literally everyone playing together, all the kids from school no matter what clique would play together, and online gaming was now a normie thing. I used to play with like 3 guys online to suddenly 30. so many good times. Plus the story was hyped beyond belief and I genuinely thought this would be the last halo
By the time reach came around, most of the original guys from 3 stopped playing, but the online and forge was even better IMO. And I for one liked the story, it was nice to play as a special ops team of spartans, fighting a losing war and none of them were invincible gods (it was also nice they toned down the mythical aspects of the story, I never cared for it). I felt sad when your team member got killed, and felt dread when the game is on its last levels and you know youve lost and are more then likely going to die. It was a good, extra story to wrap the series up. 4-6 are shit though

When you make an interactive movie then it lives and dies on the story, and those games are horribly written. They do OK when they're just directly ripping off scenes from better things, but the moment you hit Cage's actual ideas they become trainwrecks.

>>382490642
>Unskippable 20 second long cutscenes
Except most of them are unskippable for upwards of 5 minutes, some are 8. Fuck you. And then you get 5+ minute segments where you slowly walk somewhere and do nothing that are also unskippable since they're """"gameplay"""" The game literally refuses to let you play it.

I liken it to an episode of law and order (the older seasons before it went to shit). You know whats going to happen 90% of the time, so most shocking turn of events or twists are anything but that, the gameplay and story isnt anything groundbreaking,but dammit if it isnt fun to watch and experience because its well done, so I dont mind going through it over and over. I do have hopes they break out a bit more with the story for the next one

No that's a straight up lie, most intro cutscenes are barely two or three minutes long, and the ones in the middle of the level during the action are often less than 30 seconds.
Your ridiculous hyperbole does you no favours.

>>382490839
Not really. The first two chapters seemed like they had gameplay promise but the game pretty much abandons that.

I also haven't played it since release, so my opinion isn't strong since I don't remember it well.

Max Payne 3 does have my favorite TPS gameplay though, well that and Vanquish. But since Max Payne doesn't let me play it, I take issue with it. The whole "it covers loading" thing is a fucking lie too, so that pisses me off.

It really could have been actually good it's just very under-realized.

I got Heavy Rain kind of hoping it would be like a modern adventure game a la Sierra
and because I genuinely thought screwing up the QTEs was the most hilarious shit in the world at the time

Character deaths impacting the way the story unfolded was a pretty novel and hardcore consequence that made me want to do multiple play-throughs.

It's just a shame there's less actual game there than most old school adventures

All in all I'd give it about a 6/10

Go load up that fucking stadium level, tell me how you don't sit through a cutscene then limp around for 5 minutes.

I think Heavy Rain is easily Cage's best game.

The writing's still pretty silly at times, but it never blatantly shoots itself in the knee quite as hard as Omikron or Indigo Prophecy did. And the mystery isn't as awkwardly disjointed as Beyond's story was. So once it finally gets going there are some fun moments.

>>382489584
"Comfy" just means something you'd play during winter wrapped in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee. I don't know why OP thinks Heavy Rain is comfy but still, it's been a few months since you mongoloids started flipping your shit every time you see that word and I'm still not sure why.

the real problem is david cage is a wanna be film director, and thinks games are a way to create a new medium. I like almost all kinds of games, but 90% of gamers want arcade shooters, or magic or horror. Something that requires action on their part and they can experience the suspense. Its the same way with movies, nobody will watch a arthouse indie film, even it its a really good one, when the can watch fast the furious # 87
all they really need to do IMO is open their horizons just a LITTLE bit. make the maps bigger, let the player explore, have side missions or customize the character to a degree. If its literally a movie simulator most people wont pick it up. I have hope for detroit:become human but I think I know david cage better then that

I felt the same. Keep the basic plot of a teenage girl living her live in an quaint coastal town, have her go through various, but mundane issues to introduce the other characters and explore the town, and then have something or several somethings happen that she has to deal with. Maybe the creepy teacher at the school kidnaps somebody, or there is a storm coming. The time travel thing, though interesting and ok in the execution, felt like a jumbled mess
I felt the same way with assassins creed, they went too over the top with a time traveling group of assassins when they could have kept it simple and fleshed out the basic story

I adore Spec Ops: The Line for ripping into AAA shooters. Everybody I talk with here shit on the mediocre cover shooter gameplay, but I feel the dissonance between the truly "video gamey" gameplay, and the serious narrative plays really well into the games favor. It is often said how there should be a choice at that one point in the game, (you know what I'm talking about), but giving the player the option of "cutscene morality" in this game would absolutely ruin the whole thing for me. I hate how the game is brushed aside as pretentious or "pseudointellectual" on /v/.

>>382494004
The primary part of the twist that bothered me was the killer still trying to kill Ethan at the end despite him passing his test. Most people complain about excluded information from the killer's perspective, but that didn't bother me as much as his sudden change in motive.

Hell, he even lets Ethan and the kid go if he's alone, but he takes the shot at him if the other characters show up to give the game a more climactic showdown.

DA2 marks the start of lot of the problems Bioware was getting with EA. But I still think the charm of the character dynamics and quest interactions shines through the rushed development.

I neither think the combat was any good compared to contemporary shooters. But I can try to explain with my experience with the game.
As the tryhard I am, I started off on the highest difficulty setting, and holy hell was that a drag.
I got through the early levels relatively okey, but after Walker falls alone into the city, things started to get really frustrating. I really start to feel how clunky the cover mechanics are, as I die again and again and again. Like, I didn't mean to vault, I mean to duck! Fuck you, game. I did not enjoy the gameplay much at all, but as the tryhard I am, I pressed on. I didn't want to let this shitty Gears of War clone beat me. But around halfway through the game, the brown military shooter facade the game hides behind starts to fade away. I start to feel weary from the gameplay and the restarts. And then you get to the end...

I think I adore this game so much because at the end, I felt like a parallel of the player character. I must always reach the winstate of the game, but look where that got me this time.

I love heavy rain and I've played through countless times
mainly because that fucking trophy "perfect killer" or whatever is broken as shit and has cost me so many hours fuck that fucking shit i'm so close to the plat fuck you david cage fuuuuck you FUCK!

It might had been subpar compared to MGS3, but it's still a pretty solid experience.

The whole "there's more cutscenes than gameplay" criticism can be applied to MGS1 and 2. It's just that the cutscenes are longer since the game itself is longer.

Agreed, it was definitely the best for me. I think people who shit on it are just younger kids who jumped on the "I-totally-know-the-lore-so-im-cool" but really don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Reach redesigned the series into a fight for HUMAN SURVIVAL, where you see spartans not just as the superheroes they are, but also as the frail, mortal, soldiers who can and will die. Combat felt tight, none of that COD bullshit from the later games, and most of all the BEST Halo aesthetic that the series has come up with so far. God bless that game.

No. No it wasn't. The game lies to you about who the killer is. And not in a "red herring" kind of way but in a "that makes no fucking sense" kind of way.

The disjointed storytelling and the main character blacking out for no reason doesn't help either.

I bet you got a kick out of that inconsequential attempted rape scene.
