Thanks for the good work anon, teach me your designer ways please.

If someone wants me to, I can revisit my review of Samus Returns.

>>16827793

>>16851239

I'll be happy to publish it if you refine it for a print version. There's a few informalities that I hope won't take you a lot of effort to adapt the text for.

In spirit, I'm doing this to encourage anons to fully articulate their thoughts, so it's hard to turn down a type of long review that "felt pretty good to write".

I might have to bump the page capacity to 36 from 32 if you do revisit your review.

fuck your (((graphic design))) , books deserve real art on the cover

>>16851602

If you want to submit cover art, I'm fine with that. What I put on the cover mainly is:

>something recognizable from a distance,

>undemanding to print with regards to ink.

I'm not an actual graphic designer, nor do I have any real specialization in art, but this is something I can put together with some sense of aesthetics and knowing how to use an image editor.

>>16853111

I love it

>>16853893

It's more of an option than a requirement. It can be handy if you want to have pressure affect things like opacity, brush size, scatter and whatnot, but IMO you don't have to use it. It's just there if you want it.

>>16849780

If you think the first style looks any less revolting than the second, you have mental problems

>>16849774

Stop playing JRPGs.

>>16849774

China. It's not just factories being outsourced to the chinese. Look at the credits of any newish anime and you'll see lots of chinese names

>>16849780

>colorful mix of clashing art styles

Probably because the art is split between many freelance artists, who are probably also chinese.

>>16850032

Now THAT's a redesign I just don't get. SJ is from 2010 so it's not even really old enough to need an art overhaul. They probably just wanted to make it more consistent with Doi's art style

I miss S4League.

>he doesn't know

>why couldn't they just have made Orcs Must Die 3?

because MUH MOBA MONEY

same reason OMD3 is a timed stadia exclusive

>>16849410

Same reason OMD3's what now?

There's an OMD3?

>>16850304

>There's an OMD3

Stadia Exclusive

>>16850304

they jumped one the moba train because it was the hot shit back then and thought it would make them a lot of dosh. then they scrapped the whole thing and tried to turn it into an f2p omd sequel, which went as well as you'd expect. stupid licensing shit you hardly even see even for cheap ass korean mmos anymore didn't help (europe had it run by a different company, part of the deal was ip-blocking euros from the us-version and afterwards turned into a clusterfuck once they tried to migrade the eu version back to the devs).

now they make omd3 but for stadia first for that sweet google money.

>I've felt a deeper connection to my pawns in Dragon's Dogma than I have to any other RPG/JRPG

I doubt it. I wager you made a big titted waifu pawn and played most of the game with one hand. I'll have to admit that's a deeper connection I've ever had with any weeaboo RPG characters.

>>16850162

>I'll have to admit that's a deeper connection I've ever had with any weeaboo RPG characters.

DD is the opposite of weeaboo. It's a westoaboo game; the devs tried their hardest to make a WRPG.

>>16846860

>not naming the pic SamASS

>>16850186

Do you guys remember the ass autist?

>>16850193

Looks like it's going to be one of those living-games/games-as-a-service where they just keep adding seasonal shit as it goes on. I was honestly surprised there was no season pass or DLC announcements in the Direct.

>>16850220

After NL's "Welcome Amiibo" and the similarly updated Splatoon (by a similar team) they're going to have to do something really good to justify making you buy DLC. Like, I'm talking some serious minigames, probably remakes of existing ones from NL and Amiibo Party if they want the easy way out. Or an update that adds classic Nintendo consoles, but you have to buy the games for them with real money.

>>16849847

Reason being, a female player has to pop out the kid.

>LOOK MAH DERES A SQUIRELL POPPIN OUT MAH VAGINA

or the pokemon route, eggs, which is even weirder and starts going into fetish porn territory by concept alone.

If the next game had dating and kids the resulting porn would break the net by sheer quantity.

>>16851087

I dont crossplay means what you think it means

>>16851039

>>16851048

Same, the Tiberian Sun GDI aesthetic is top notch

I wouldn't want it to be anime trash and more industrial like Chromehounds. You don't see many western style mech games anymore and it would differentiate from the mediocre Gundam trash.

>>16849580

About all I'd ask from Brig there is more work done on missions, they all felt pretty samey aside from a few that were more like challenge modes. I wouldn't mind being able to exit and do some on foot sections perhaps, or yoink other mechs.

>>16849664

>This faggot didn't even know about Doomguy's backstory

There's nothing on the Mars colony except UAC's research facilities. Mars is the shit post, it's the dead-end job that marines get sent to because someone up the chain of command has it out for them. Doomguy was on Mars as an what is effectively an MP because he disobeyed an order to fire on civilians during a riot on dystopian Earth and punched his NCO. Coincidentally, the reason he's only carrying a pistol is due to this demotion to MP post.

It's not an amazing story but one that makes the character more relatable than most FPS protagonists, including Gordon Freeman, which is fucking sad. And they threw that out for a completely unrelatable "YOU ARE A DIVINE BEING WHOSE ONLY EXISTENCE IS SLAUGHTER NOW MILK AND MEME UNTIL IT IS DONE" and then proceed to insult your intelligence by trashing on unskippable cutscenes, during unskippable cutscenes.

>>16849733

Tom Hall was fucking insane and most of his ideas were retarded. He was rightly let go in my opinion. You can look up the "Doom bible" he wrote online now and the immediate first impression is "Yeah this would have never worked." However, I was pretty sure the backstory blurb was kept in the instruction manual or something.

>>16850210

Yeah, this guy gets it.

>>16850595

I think perhaps they misunderstood what "immersion" means to most video gamers.

>>16849120

you mean pichu?

>>16847780

Demons aren't born from the collective of humans and reincarnate within the primordial sea anymore?

>>16849905

>battlers parents

In that one game that Bernkastel holds, yes.

>granny

I don't know what you are talking about.

>>16848809

Your dad must be Gaben lol.

>>16848733

Then you explain your reasoning as to why fuck all comes to PC anymore. I only base my conjecture on conversations I've had with developers from 1996 through 2018. The publishers think piracy is AIDS to the bottom line, regardless of how little of a real effect it has on sales, and the relative difficulty of console piracy just sweetens the pot for them.

But please, prove you're not a contrarian faggot, and enlighten us with your educated opinion.

It was fun for an indie game. The writing was hit-or-miss and it had decent minigames and side content from what I remember. But one big gripe that i do remember is how irrationally inconsistent putting was. When you putt there's no reliable way to tell how far the ball goes or how much it's affected by slopes, so chipping it in, even from what should be easy putting distance, is always easier.

>>16848813

You keep sidestepping my question: Does your dad work for Nintendo?

>>16848399

Mankind divided is pretty decent for what it is, but the plot is indeed bad.

>>16848399

I hate everything about human revolution except the core gameplay.

>Still story is Decent

no its not, its shit. it shits all over the original deus ex. it gracelessly inserts an artificial divide that was never even hinted at in the original, and it never stops hammering the player over the head with its inane message. not a single ounce of subtly.

>"Social/Dialogue" Battle

SHIT

Dialogue shouldnt be a win/lose thing, it should be to build upon characters. Unfortunately, adam doesn't have any character whatsoever, and everyone else in the story is a shallow caricature. Sarif might be the only one that seems even mildly fleshed out.

Also: zombies. and wymyn computer. But at least the prequel managed to perfectly copy the completely unsatisfying endings, if even lazier than the original.

At least throwing vending machines at people is fun.

>>16850295

That guy actually survived and made a full recovery.

>>16846373

sorry man, glows cannot operate off site

join fags

5 more rounds coming up.

I thought no more threads were going to be posted on 8kun :^)

last round, join up

>>16853243

How many mountains of doujin do you own?

>>16849753

You start with a farm, go out into dungeons and the world to find shit to plant/cool weapon and spell shit, catch monsters, clear dungeons to get potential wives and husbands, catch monsters by throwing food at them that you made yourself, run a shop, do social shit to get party members, make equipment to hit shit really hard, and get fucking killed in the bonus dungeon because the difficulty spike on that shit is beyond any fucking game i've ever seen.

The most powerful monsters you can pick up for early game are little mini-boss fairies you can find around the map. You can also recruit most of the bosses, I think, as long as you've beaten them before.

>>16849753

>what am i in for?

A comfy time, anon. Think Harvest Moon with combat elements.

If you don't care about pirating, RF4S leaked early and can be played now.

Seeing the models in HD is pretty good although you can already do this with citra.

>>16849824

>>16849794

>>16849838

nice

>>16845716

I'm not disagreeing at all. It's just interesting to read the complaints each person has about matchmaking and try to deduce what genre of games they play that matchmaking has fucked up. A person would think that everyone could better air their grievances if they were all talking in the same terms. It's not fatal.

>>16828619

Even in libre, open source games matchmaking is kind of terrible, i.e ignoring microtransactions and lootshit. For teams you get the shit experience of not properly coordinating with your teammates, while it was slightly more tolerable for 1v1s.

Mind that I don't think the main metric of matchmaking, win rate, being a good metric of player skill. It might be more rational to assess whether two players are on par by how they trade damage with one another, the resources, they accrue, etc.

>>16845716

Is it that bad for a 1v1 game though. One where you can actually use an ELO system and just match people with similar numbers

>>16850659

That may be the one situation where it'd be preferable, but even then there could be a list where you could choose an opponent

>>16850659

It's certainly an easier problem in that case, because then (I assume) you also know that the player's rank is from 1v1 games with other players. That's critical, because it means your metrics are simpler to design and therefore more likely to be representative of how well a player actually plays.

Any of you have luck with expanding pretenders? I've not tried them but I'm thinking that the punishment in scales wouldn't be worth it.

>>16849357

MA Ermor can snowball into being really strong, it can cast burden of time to fuck most races over beyond itself and some of the lovecraftian stuff and it's domains poison things around it. So even if it's not in a position to win the game or kill you, it's mere existance is a threat to you in most cases.

I've always wanted to do some blitz games with anons. Maybe we could get some going. That being said I'm not that good but a good way to learn is to get stomped and see what happened.

>>16849669

I would be down for it, although I cannot host, Saturday 3:00 PM EST sounds good?

>>16849669

Could be fun, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to do it.

>>16849971

Don't people typically use that llamaserver?
