I should have used some lube, sorry

>>13609454

you should have, gabe you fat fuck

I really like the source engine and using hammer but every time I boot up hammer I just get anxious and upset because I know that no matter what I make, everyone will shit on it just because it's Source, and regardless of whether it's maps for existing games or an attempt at standalone content

>>13609487

>>13609488

Stop caring so much what other people think you miserable sack of vaginas.

>>13609494

It wasn't just Sonic. This was when I started to realize video games will never reach their full potential.

Shadow was stupidly entertaining.

Granted, I had the uncensored version.

>>13609517

thats not mutualy exclusive

>>13609535

Every fucking thing they promised from the beginning was there, but completely halfassed and barebones.

It had the edgy, but radically different for gameplay guns for action to ambitiously blend in with the high speed platforming fans of the classic side scrolling games and Adventure fell in love with.

It had Shadow being able to punch and kick and swing swords and broken stop signs in a warzone as weapons.

It had the vehicles.

It had Shadow being able to use Chaos Emerald powers.

And most of all, it ambitiously had branching storyline and endings you decided through alignment based missions, again, to blend with the platforming that gave Shadow a chance at the spotlight.

But how the fuck was the execution for any of it?

At least it has that over Nu Male's Shit.

>>13609494

>Sonic Mania looks like it will finally be a flawless release

>Denuvo out of nowhere

>shit gamepad support

Oh well.

>>13609630

That game managed to have more endings than probably every Bioware game combined.

Splinter Cell used to be good.

Rainbow Six used to be good.

Ghost Recon used to be good.

All three are shambling husks of their former selves. Ghost Recon especially, since it was ruined in the second game, which is probably a record, even for Ubisoft.

My foot still hurts. I think I sat on it for too long yesterday.

>>13609672

I think it has the most endings out of any video game with a single playable character. Maybe Fallout NV beats it?

>>13609730

I would suggest consulting a physician as soon as available.

>>13610732

Pandemic's death will devastatingly never fucking be forgiven.

>>13610155

It was easily the single most petty and insecure executive fuckery ever devised, at least in the last 10 years. They wanted to get the game out quick so as not to compete with Skyrim, which is an admittance of incompetence already, but then turn right around and end up rushing their own game and making an even buggier piece of shit they never even bothered to fix. The real kicker though? Obsidian had 3 fucking games on their hands at the same time yet managed to a better job, all in the span of less than 2 years, than Bethesda managed in over 3. Bethesda really is the single shittiest studio in the business and I'd be willing to bet even Phoenix Games could make something that actually works with all the time and money Bethesda gets.

>>13611930

That cuck Tom Fulp took down the game about the Sandy Hook school shooting, saying it was too offensive and insensitive and that NewGrounds was no longer and edgy free-for-all in so many words.

It doesn't get more ironic or hypocritical than that. A guy famous for making a game about a school shooting taking down a game about a school shooting because he finds it offensive.

>>13609672

Only the Last Story mattered in the end and it was bullshit to hold out on some of the answers like whether or not Shadow was an android or not until fighting the very last boss for at least 7 minutes. The other endings had him just rambling about who he thought he was over his defeated opponents.

>>13612756

Rise of Lyric being a fuck up on par with those 2 save for (the lack of) hype. Lost World looking like an interesting, more platforming centric throwback to the cancelled Sonic X-Treme with added parkour but ends up having shitty level gimmicks, physics, scripting and automation from the previous games still present and awful level design, ESPECIALLY in the Dimps version, speaking of which Sonic 4.

Holy fuck was that embarassing to see them miss the mark so badly when fans could do better and did with Mania. Shit was painful to see how Dimps went from Advance and Pocket Adventure to the likes of 4 when just about every aspect was downgraded in one way or the other. I blame it on Sega contracting and rushing them out too much after making 4-7 Sonic games within the timespan of 5 years for multiple platforms.

Rivals was originally going to be a more traditional Sonic game until Iizuka turned it into a forgettable racing game. The Olympic Games with Mario are missed potential and are being made by the dev teams that did JSR and Panzer Dragoon iirc (though it could be in name only). Sonic Chronicles exists and was an early sign of Bioware going down the shitter which inadvertently triggered Ken Penders and his Archie Comics lolsuit drama. Riders games were silly Storybook tier filler games that died with a Kinect Exclusive….I could go on and on; this isn't even touching the fucked up fanbase that are among the posterchildren for autism.

>>13609572

I think the Hawken devs actually knew what they were doing in terms of gameplay. The issue is they ran out of money because they made two graphic novels and were desperately trying to make a big budget web series while the game was nowhere near finished. If they had just focused on the game it may have ended up alright.

in the end they were in so much debt they had to sell the game to a mobile game company which decided to waste all of it's own money porting the game to consoles

Fallout 4. At least it finally killed my illusion that Bethesda was ever capable of making a good game again. Never ever.

>>13609896

Meant to say that I liked divinity original sin 2 much more than the original game. It feels much more polished than the first one. Its actually pretty good.

Reading this makes me sick if it's really true that the guys behind Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio, and GunValkyrie are stuck in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games hell. I know the director behind the Panzer Dragoon trilogy left Sega entirely in the 00's. Though they might have also gone to the Yakuza team, a much better fate.

>PvP free-to-play is an inherently cancerous model

No one listens when you tell them this. Of all the people giving feedback on that ghost in the shell fps (which is going to die in NA this December), I was the only one bringing this issue to light (that I know of).

It's usually just dismissed along with the tide of people calling out skin/cosmetic jewry, which is honestly valid in and of itself but devs are used to plugging their ears on that one by now. What people don't think of is how it's not a sustainable model which relies on having a decent number of idiots buying cosmetics constantly; the pool of said idiots was not large enough apparently.

I'd like to extend a personal "fuck you" to not only Nexon, but every chink publisher which pioneered the jew scalping tactics of the 201X game industry.

>>13610732

I'm gonna get shit for this, but fuck Troika. Overrated hacks who can't program shit, and spent more time on side stories than the main fucking plots or making fucking skills work (cough EVERY BEAUTY AND CHARISMA SKILL cough).

>Bullfrog

I hope Molyneux goes to Hell with some Rapefugees.

>>13613946

They actually tried to make a good game with that one. It was bad, but you can tell they put in effort.

>>13613969

Story behind this?

>>13613902

Man, I remember being a child, playing their games and thinking to myself "wow these are pretty cool games!", I continuously played their games for years when they were actually made with care. Replaying those games now feels like going to a graveyard, it's good to remember, but it hurts that it's long gone now.

>>13613974

Neversoft going out in style

>>13613974

Like the name of the file says It was the last day before Neversoft got shutdown. So they decided to burn the Eyeball mascot just because it would be cool.

How much of a shitshow will Bethesda make TESVI having not learned from their mistakes in Fallout 4?

>>13613063

It still stings a little but the hurting is over.

>>13614074

It's their intellectual property, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.

>>13614099

You sound like a kike. Doing whatever the fuck they want with it ends up killing their profits and potential customers in the short and long terms for most of the times. They could easily keep things as they are in many cases and end up with profits but they choose to fuck things up for no logical reason.

The shit about EA is even worse than the IPs, however. This is repulsing.

>>13613902

>EA's billing for warhammer online actually killed someone

I remember this happening. I was playing Warhammer Online at the time. I didn't hear a single thing about what happened after, so EA must've tried to shut everyone up, settle in court, and memory hole everyone.

>>13614364

For once, EA is not at fault:

http://www.designer-notes.com/?p=654

here's a 17 page document from a former maxis employee detailing what went wrong. Other maxis employees chimed in in the comments too

>>13609450

Wait I'm confused OP. Does it hurt that one of the most cancerous FPSs of all time isn't getting another sequel? Or that the sequel to a somewhat decent Quake-like was one of the most cancerous FPSs of all time?

>>13614742

Don't forget this: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/210/8555.page#137577

It's Will Wright's fault. He "dumbed" down the game. It was his idea.

>>13614557

Ito is not videogames

>>13614901

>As the lead designer my goal through most of the project was to make sure the gameplay didn’t end up too complex, which resulted in simplifying many of the level dynamics and editor consequences.

oh

>>13615463

He wasn't paid to say this. He said this when he left EA and when he founded Stupid Fun Club. It was all on his own merit. /v/ continues to remain on a bluepill and blames EA. It's a fucking meme at this point. Yes EA has killed many projects, but Spore was dumbed down by the creator himself.

>>13614742

so um

>>13614180

The studio behind STALKER recently reformed. There's still hope, despite them so far only have released an HD remaster of an older games

>>13612890

In his defense, the guy who made that game is a notorious aussie shitposter who frequents cuckchan /vg/. He makes awful games and has a huge unwarranted ego, his only goal with the Sandy Hook game was to manufacture controversy to get attention.

It is unfortunate and hypocritical that it got taken down, but it's also no longer the early 2000's. If you don't fall in line in the current year you're bound to get fucked in the ass. I might be remembering wrong, but I think Tom wrote a big post saying that he'd personally keep the game up, but there were too many "relatives of victims" pressuring him or something.

>>13612890

Honestly I left that garbage fire a long time before Sandy Hook happened. The site started to go to shit as soon as the art portal was added, imo.

>>13618085

also the fact the practically no one makes flash games anymore and the golden era or fresh content and home made flash cartoons is long dead. The whole appeal to newgrounds was it was this place you could post what you wanted no matter how edgy it was and you could gain an audience. Many Virgina tech shooting games were made and none of those got taken down.

>>13618182

Did the devs actually finish the MMO-NotStalker?

Not that I'd expect it to be good.

>>13611890

Spore had so much potential and it was all flushed down the drain to appeal to children and normalfags. what a waste

>>13618292

I don't even know if the Survarium devs were actual Stalkan devs or just some fucking interns, they boasted about that but I still ahve yet to see anything substancial besides maybe one of the guys who modeled the characters, I'm pretty sure most of the key memebers moved to 4A Games to make Metro or went on with their lives.

>Have they finished it

Good joke, heres the latest trailer where they showacased PVE after 5 years and countless of them with nothing but a shit tier PVP game.

Its a fucking garbage F2P game, nothing else

>>13618313

>Its a fucking garbage F2P game, nothing else

Yeah, I know that, just wondering how hard it failed to be honest.

Picking up on your metro point from above, it's a bit of a shame really. The whole subway survival setting isn't too bad, although I don't care that much for the supernatural stuff.

If they had given you more freedom to travel, built a larger world above ground to do missions in while having to worry about oxygen and the day/night circle and actual freedom to join a faction it could've been fun.

That shit exhumes atmosphere, but no, Bourbon Ghost from MW2, enjoy.

>>13615875

Well they did fuck over the PC port of AC+R with Steam cancer. The game itself is fantastic, and they barely fucking supported it. The part that really hurts is a decade of refinements and innovation being thrown out that window because that cunt Ishiwatari wanted the BlazBlue audience.

vr might stand a chance if they actually try to make something on it worth playing. You need a pretty solid computer to run the games and then the hundreds of dollars of vr hardware, then the only games available to you are shallow arcade type games. It's like telling someone that for $1,000+ they can play a fairly sophisticated wii sports. They need to try and make some shit that caters more toward hardcore gamers or enthusiasts or something since those are the people who will actually spend all that money on pc gaming.

>>13618350

I stopped playing after 167.3 hours, this is the downvote review I gave

I used to like the game but I can't recomend it any more.
Sicne I started playing, back when there were 10 tiers, 2 skill trees and before you could put sights on everything, the devs have slowly changed how the game plays and not all of it is for the better.

Instead of a list of pros and cons I'm just going to point out some things that changed that I dont like.
-All anomolies can now be rendered harmless by simply wearing a gas tank, it used to be that the air tank only protected against the gas anomolies like the grenade artifact and the gas under the school.
-Environment anomolies no longer exist, not the gas trap under the school, not the radioactive distortion at the middle of Tarakanovsky Fort none, they are all gone.
-All alternative ammo must now be bought or found and you no longer have the option to use the basic alternative ammo that reduces range while increasing penetration, it's all cahs shop or random drops now.

There are other problems I have with the game as well but these ones bother me the most, the removal of features to simplify the game including the shrinking of maps. This is a trend I've experienced before in games like firefall and I dont see a positive future for the game or the company.

>>13618320

Post proof

>>13625133

Actually, if it's spanish, it's "La comunidad homosexual"

Why did i get my hopes up for Star Wars: The Old Republic? It seemed so cool, loved the Kotor-games, wondered what it would be like, playing like the prequels-battles in amazing environments going out on adventures with your buddies.

And then it turns out it's a nothing fucking game. There's nothing important happening, you have no impact on the game whatsoever and you don't even see other players for half the time and that in game with shit graphics, even for a game from 2010 or whatever the year was when it came out.
