Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Himu]

So it's the only good part of the game?!

[Himu]

Eh, well unlike the rest of you i don't look down on story games.

teach me how to be as open-minded as you

play shenmue until you like it.

my sarcasm detector is off today. tell me if this is serious or a joke post.

[Momo]

I liked Fahrenheit, the sex thumb stick mini game/scene thing was hilarious.

[Himu]

himu-chan, you're special-snowflaking yourself at an obnoxious rate these days

Eh, it is a defense mechanism. I have to say as a preface that I like story games, because so many here don't. It isn't meant to make me special. It's meant to ward off potential arguments.

All you have to do is look at the forum response to The Last Of Us to see WHY I would say,"Well, I like story-based games" to show that my tastes for games like that tend to fall not so much aligned with the typical borean. It wasn't meant to make me a special snowflake and I apologize if that was how it was construed.

[Stoney Mason]

For what its worth I like story based games probably more than the average Borean also. I like plenty of stuff the average Borean doesn't fancy. I loved LA Noire. I love the new direction of Telltale. I literally can't play a JRPG unless the story grips me in some way. I still think there is a divide though between good story based and weaker story based. Just because a game has a story you shouldn't just give it a free pass. I've watched enough of a play through to say that that Beyond is all over the place. Some of it is decent stuff. Some of it is downright cliched awful crap. That's arguably the problem with Cage. His material is all over the place. I would say Heavy Rain will remain his high point because it sticks closely to a conventional genre format so that grounds it in ways his other output isn't. The first hour or two of Indigo Prophecy I was in love. After that point I was like this is shit. He's like shyamlan. He seems incapable of editing and evaluating his own material in the way that a Telltale seems to be able to do.

My homeboy is killing it again.

I'd be devastated if he's a joke character and his English isn't actually broken.

[Momo]

Those are some impressive pecs, I can see she lifts.

[El Babua]

My problem with most "serious" game stories is that they try to do way too much. Much more than what the writers and developers of those particular games are capable of delivering. Case in point: Bioshock Infinite. And if we're talking about Mr. Cage, he's the living personification of my point. And I actually enjoyed Heavy Rain. It was stupid, but enjoyable, can't say the same for Beyond based on what I've seen.

For a counter example, I have to bring up Last of Us's story for the fact that it actually had restraint and didn't go overboard when it had plenty of opportunities to do so.

[Himu]

I've never played a Cage game. That's probably why I liked the demo so much and want to buy the game.

I still think that 150K is too low, and honestly think there's a chance that it could get near 300K. However, I do think that 300K would still be pretty terrible.

[nudemacusers]

not really the number, but the excuse making

why

That incision stays wet due to being in the mouth, meaning it never truly heals. Nor can you properly clean it. Which leads to increased chances at getting infections or periodontal disease. And it stinks.

not a good idea brehs

[Phoenix Dark]

Is there not constant leakage during eating/drinking?

There is some leakage and a lot of saliva buildup. 

[Momo]

I dont particularly want to click the link above but it sounds like you are talking about piercings? I have facial piercings and yes a couple through my lips, havent had an issue with it ever.

Lip and tongue piercings greatly increase your risk of getting periodontal disease (gingivitis). It's irreversible.

[Momo]

It's reversible if you have your piercings lasered shut.

[Phoenix Dark]

Nah I'm saying periodontal disease is irreversible.

[Shadow Mod]

Eh, well unlike the rest of you i don't look down on story games. I enjoyed the walking dead (game) more than any movie I saw this year. I dunno, these days I'd rather play a good story game. Though all mediums are great.

I'm the opposite. I plain don't give a fuck without something to engage me otherwise it's just rehashed garbage or I'll watch the backlog of tv series I got going.

[Vertigo]

TWD game was pretty high quality, had very good voice acting and overall mood,Beyond is hot garbage.

Heavy Rain is immensely more enjoyable than Beyond as it was unintentionally a comedy game. Beyond is so po faced and obsessed because wow it has actual well known actors that it allowed Cage to become even more indulgent.

[Himu]

So I should get Heavy Rain instead?

[Rufus]

But the second half of the demo, guys!!!

The demo of Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy was the most sane, down to earth, promising part of the entire game, which is NOTHING like anything that comes after it. It goes downhill almost immediately. The last act is completely insane.

[StealthFan]

I fucking love story games

Beyond

I liked Heavy Rain tho, minus the terrible Origami Killer reveal. So many effective moments in that game for me. Man that Indigo Prophecy demo was killer. I was so fucking hyped. I was actually gonna buy it instead of pirating it. I had a signature of the cover on another shitty forum. When it was released I had no monies to buy so I rented that shit from Hollywood Video.

It was straight

[Cerveza mas fina]

I love story games but Beyond demo so meh (QTE, no indication that being a ghost would be interesting with puzzles), Indigo Prophecy was nice until the office sequence and all the crap QTE's where I had to quit.

I still have to play Heavy Rain.

Overall I think Telltale does the gameplay part of interactive movies better, but Cage knows how to present them and has the budget.

[Broseidon]

Himu-chan watch the best friends lets play of IP/Farenheit to get an idea of what experiencing The Cage entails.

[Joe Molotov]

I kind of liked disc 1 of Xenogears, so I might agree with Himu-kun.

I liked every disc of Xenogears/Saga, come at me haters.

I bought Beyond but I haven't played past the first part yet, so I won't comment on it, but I have played Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain and both games had bits that were really, really cool that made you think it was going to be some next-level shit, but then they also had bits that were really, really shite and the overall experiences were pretty disappointing. I suspect that Beyond is going to be more of the same, but I can't help myself.

what did you guys expect? this is the same month that saw the release of ps4/xbox one. plus hunger games. poor nintendo just can't catch a break, what would you want them to do? Please draw up a detailed business plan before commenting ok thanks.

No, that will be when Miyamoto dies.

Someone on GAF made a point that there are like 3 separate scenarios that could make GAF explode

1. XB1 outselling the PS4
2. XB1 within parity levels of the PS4
3. WiiU utter bomb

can't wait, largely because at least two of those will probably happen
