Video Games [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 910

You're back!

 

2 is still my favorite in the series and I believe it set the bar incredibly high. The length is one of that game's aspects that I loved the most. I still have memories playing music from my iHome while grinding for the feathers.

I don't think another AC game has matched it as far as length goes. I think it was three thatvhad 12 sequences and that really bummed me out.

 

(I'm 100 percent kidding, that dude was not me lol)

 

Well, I'd bet if I played it back when it came out I'd sing another song, but coming into it now it just felt rough. And I was focusing on just the story missions at the end just to...finish

 

Every AC game is entirely too long.

 

Syndicate is okay in that regard

 

honestly? like 85% of games, particularly AAA ones, are way too long.

 

What are some good videogame podcast? Nothing too silly

 

to cool my take a bit, it's probably a combo of the open-world glut (Nier and Mafia 2 are pretty good examples of game that simply shouldn't feel compelled to be OW - I understand Mafia 3 as well although i haven't played it) and the inclusion of artificial fillers (mediocre lore, fetch quests, collectibles) to pad out a game's length without driving up production costs significantly. this so publishers can say, x hours of content, and justify a $60 price tag (ignoring the insane amount of work that goes into developing games that arguably justifies this, particularly since i'm a cheap buyer haha) as proportional to length of content rather than quality.

 

heh heh self plug

Press F to Discuss by Press F to Discuss on Apple Podcasts / Press F to Discuss

we talk about games usually in various critical lenses. we're both big fans of literary, film, and social theory, so we're kind of trying to expand our conversations about how we play and approach games as artistic/intellectual creations in addition to as things you play, which hopefully shows.

we do a biweekly discussion of various games, so whether or not youre actually interested may vary week-to-week (we make sure to mix up indies and AAAs but the fact that i lean towards the former shows haha, if you have suggestions we'll check em out)

 

Sweet. I'll check it out for sure!

 

Does anyone else remember Bugs Bunny: Lost In Time? Or at least I think that was the name of it. I tried finding it in the PS store but had no luck, and I haven't seen a physical copy in who knows how long. Game was a lot of fun if I recall correctly.

 

I've dug Idle Thumbs.

 

Remind me to get back to you on that tomorrow if I forget, I have a list

 

Red cover with like an hour glass and Bugs and Taz on it? I've got a copy for PS1! Think that was my first ever game haha

 

Found this on google. Really want another copy of this, but i'd probably have to plug in my PS3 to play it.

 

Google tells me I was thinking of Time Busters aha, still good!

 

We Discuss VideoGameDunkey's Video About Game Critics on Waypoint Radio

This is good.

Also Dunkey, who stops just short of outright accusing IGN and others of video game payola, basically works for Amazon.

 

I'll buy AC Origins if there aren't 100 million things to collect.

 

Man, Fire Pro Wrestling is so so so good. Can’t wait to have a fully complete roster.

 

He's very bad.

I think I'm pretty near to the end of the game. Pretty sure it's the last palace and I'm at the boss. Looking forward to being free to move on to Nier/checking out muh Switch, though I have enjoyed it quite a bit and have been playing it pretty ravenously. It hasn't totally knocked me on my ass or anything, though.

 

I got the Galactic Invader skin for Ah Puch again and I am so happy. One of the best smite skins

 

in a chest?

That's the only skin I use for him even if I have like 5 skins for him.

 

Yeah I think it was the enigma chest but can't remember for sure

 

probably. I think that's where I got it also. Just make sure to spam his laugh taunt for ultimate trolling because the alien laugh is the best one.
