Kotaku became a laughing stock like 10 years ago, so with most of the writers that seemed to have either been a part of the cause of that or ones that were stirring the pot now gone, maybe G/O can turn things around and Kotaku can go back to actually just reporting on video games again.
I won’t hold my breath, but that would certainly be a pleasant surprise.
Not sure, I have never had that issue. For a tiny amount of time, I did have an issue with it not recording Discord in the background, but switching to record system audio did the job just fine.
Okay, maybe I will be buying the game afterall. As long as “No Denuvo” doesn’t mean “no denuvo, but we added a different DRM instead.” Except Steam’s built in DRM, I guess. It doesn’t seem to negatively effect the performance in my Steam games.
As a fan of the books, the movie was pretty bad. The only good parts I can recall were the CG, and the actors who played Tars Tarkus and Kantos Kan. Everyone else in the film was mid to bad.
The American mainstream news media has been obsessed with pushing/covering politics for the last 6 or 7 months, and both political parties are giving the media massive stockpiles of ammo for ragebait-fuelled ad revenue. Why would they ever cover video games, something mainstream media outlets have historically blamed some of the worst tradgedies in American history on, when it will neither give them free ad revenue, nor continue to villanize video games?
For all the crap the game gets, Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk was actually an incredibly written companion character. Plus bonus points because of Keanu Reeves.
Kainé from NieR Gestalt/Replicant?
KOSMOS from XenoSaga?
Geno from Super Mario RPG?
Karlach from BG3?
Heck, even Serana from Skyrim could be there.
Many characters I would consider at the very least to be contenders for top spot, if not outright surpassing Morrigan.
Not a fan of Fortnite and never got into CoD after World at War came out. Felt like they were less and less about the soldiers that gave their lives protecting their country, and more about being some romanticized war hero shooter. War is bad but I don’t think that soldiers who fought in them should be disrespected. I just feel like the new CoD games glorify war and violence more than the older games did, and I am not about that.
Honestly, looking at how modern game development studios handle remakes, I wouldn’t want them anywhere near any of my beloved games. I haven’t played a single remake in the last 20 years where I felt like the studio that made it knocked it out of the park.
Also, I strongly believe good games should not be remade, and only remastered/ “deluxe remastered” (where even if the game is remade, its a 1:1 faithful recreation with additional features and gameplay mechanics being optional). Remake the games that weren’t great, give them another chance at big success.
Sonic 2006
the XenoSaga games (don’t @ me XS fans, you know the combat and boss design in those games were terrible, 1 had DOMO Carrier, Tiamat, and whatever was going on in Song of Nephilim)
I dont think.any Switch emulators run on the Xbox platform. The Xbox is obviously powerful enough, but none of the emulators are ported to the console.
I definitely think ones wanting to get into King’s Field should work backwards from the 4th game. The storylines are not really that connected, and the farther back you go the more annoying certain users can find the lack of various features. 4 is a good start to see if someone will like the overall feeling of the game, and the farther back you go the more hardcore of a fan you are to like the games.
I wasn’t invalidating your way of playing, only mentioning my opinion that the reward is better if you play it the original way. Also, some may think that the modified experience is the way the game is supposed to be played when that isn’t the case.
Yeah, Lunacid wasn’t bad it just wasn’t what I was expecting. That and Kira and I just don’t get along, he tried to argue with me on Discord and I just didn’t care enough to argue back. As I said, it definitely felt far more like Shadow Tower, which isn’t a bad thing but it is disappointing to me to taste an orange when I bite into an apple.
The limitations may be gone, but for some games like King’s Field, the limitations are part of the games identity, IMO. And perhaps this is because I played the games in release order rather than reverse. For example, a big part of Resident Evil’s identity to me will always be fixed cameras and tank controls. To me, playing an RE game without them doesn’t give me the same experience as the ones that do. Games like RE4 and newer Resident Evil games just feel like action shooters, not survival horror. Which is fine, just different. They’re not made for me and that’s fine. I can have Crow County and Hollow Body instead.
I love King’s Field, and have enjoyed it even before YouTubers like Iron Pineapple, Josh Strife Hayes, and Majuular “popularized” them. It is exciting that more people are starting to play them, but it is also worrying in the same way that anything starting to go mainstream is worrying. The fear of the experience being watered down to the point that two players have vastly different experiences and cannot even communicate about the same game anymore.
