Even playing a game that details the very beginning of the outbreak with a different character's eyes. I'd love to see a person go through the collapse of society and the oppression of the QZ's.
|
|
|
23:59:14
|
|
|
Oh I would actually like that very much Gus.
|
|
|
23:29:09
|
|
|
I never felt there was any room for a conspiracy in the plot, given the nature of the cordyceps as they were presented. It felt very natural disaster.
|
|
|
23:20:08
|
|
|
Yeah, they don't attack you even though they see you because they still retain their humanity to a degree.
|
|
|
23:16:34
|
|
|
But yeah, that's why some runners won't attack you at all. They just twitch and cry and it's actually really heartrending.
|
|
|
23:15:54
|
|
|
Dishonored was good too, though.
|
|
|
23:15:40
|
|
|
|
23:13:45
|
|
|
Even though the core concept is very similar. If you're bitten, you become one and they eat people.
|
|
|
23:13:17
|
|
|
Not to mention they directly mirror us. They look very much like us and directly illustrate the horror of dying, of rot, of losing one's self. I don't think a werewolf can be as effective at that.
|
|
|
23:07:30
|
|
|
I think werewolves might not have the same staying power too, Gus. Not having a human shape/getting rid of the death aspect shears away a lot of what I think makes zombies effective.
|
|
|
23:05:12
|
|
|
I wonder if werewolves would be an effective replacement for zombies.
|
|
|
23:03:26
|
|
|
It's already chafing them.
|
|
|
23:03:14
|
|
|
They're just bitter. As they should be. I won and they get to deal with XV being a thing now.
|
|
|
23:02:00
|
|
|
That name wasn't my doing. I didn't even lose the bet.
|
|
|
23:01:31
|
|
|
|
23:00:55
|
|
|
|
22:59:24

|
|
Waiting for the Order to make werewolves the new zombies.
|
|
|
22:57:55
|
|
|
It's not zombies that are stale, really. There's still ridiculous potential for storytelling using them. It's the cookie-cutter games depicting them.
|
|
|
22:57:29
|
|
|
I think the cordyceps are just enough flavor to make them stand out a bit, but they're not deviating much from zombies and honestly they don't have to.
|
|
|
22:56:21
|
|
|
The different vector of infection is really the only unique thing about these zombies, though. The rest is pretty typical stuff.
|
|
|
22:55:33
|
|
|
The part where he was stalking me would have been scary, but I stumbled on him crouching and looking around a corner really early and it just became funny.
|
|
|
22:53:35
|
|
|
Though it wasn't necessarily as scary, I found my heart pounding when David started rushing me with the machete.
|
|
|
22:52:14
|
|
|
|
22:51:48
|
|
|
After that though, I generally knew what to expect from the infected, which I think stopped the game from being very scary. The infected basically reveal their entire hand when the first bloater shows up.
|
|
|
22:51:00
|
|
|
|
22:50:33
|
|
|
|
22:50:18
|
|
|
Everyone probably knows the one scary part I'm talking about, too.
|
|
|
22:49:28
|
|
|
Pff, they're zombies. Zombies stopped needing to be dead a while ago.
|
|
|
22:49:00
|
|
|
I will say that there is one part that made me hesitate because it was spooky.
|
|
|
22:46:52
|
|
|
I'm not sure it's scary enough to call it horror, but it does the survival thing perfectly.
|
|
|
22:46:27
|
|
|
I was expecting ambushes after I read that first pamphlet, but they're basically just runners that patrol more quickly and run away occasionally.
|
|
|
22:45:36
|
|
|
I think they could have done more to distinguish stalkers from the rest of the infected, myself.
|
|
|
22:44:55
|
|
|
|
22:44:06
|
|
|
It just takes a couple sprays.
|
|
|
22:44:00
|
|
|
|
22:43:45
|
|
|
Oh if you're not worried about non-story spoilers then the flamethrower is ridiculously good for infected.
|
|
|
22:42:37
|
|
|
Read if you wish to know.
|
|
|
22:42:30
|
|
|
It was all just advice for fighting bloaters, no worries.
|
|
|
22:40:56
|
|
|
Two molotovs will kill a bloater, just so you know later in the game. Invest in armor piercing ASAP and the guns that do pierce armor will make short work of them.
|
|
|
22:39:29
|
|
|
Oh yeah, I didn't fight the bloater either. It was much easier just to run, as Stalkers and Runners deal pitiful melee damage.
|
|
|
22:10:17
|
|
|
Kill it with fire has never been more true.
|
|
|
22:03:06

Masterpiece. I can't think of an outstanding gripe. The only thing that could have improved it would be somehow making it even longer because it didn't get even close to overstaying its welcome.
|
|
|
21:59:22
|
|
|
Pretty much what everyone else thinks. I was completely won over by the writing, the gameplay is solid and tense, you never really know what's going to happen next...
|
|
|
21:49:22
|
|
|
I beat it early last night.
|
|
|
01:43:56
|
|
|
I haven't lost time to a game like that in so long. It's amazing.
|
|
|
01:43:37
|
|
|
I... Guess I spent the whole day playing? It's sincerely hard to tell.
|
|

THE MAN WHO BROKE BATMAN'S BACK.
|
|
|
02:55:49
|
|
|
Yeah it's a bit of a stretch.
|
|
|
02:50:36
|
|
|
It makes me wonder if my thread is that stupid.
|
|
|
23:53:44
|
|
|
|
22:54:25
|
|
|
I guess that wolf knows he's worth it.
|
|
|
22:52:39
|
|
|
|
22:52:00
|
|
|
My only problem with that is that the wolf looks like it just got back from the groomers.
|
|
|
22:48:45
|
|
|
Those in-game renders of fire are just stunning.
|
|
|
22:37:22
|
|
|
|
22:31:23
|
|
|
|
22:00:39
|
|
|
Haha, oh Shannon, that thread isn't for you.
|
|
|
21:48:43
|
|
|
Because Pizza Hut is where I go for fine dining.
|
|
|
21:36:41
|
|
|
He's definitely not obsessed with the gym, but he manages to be vain anyway.
|
|
|
21:14:38
|
|
|
|
21:14:35
|
|
|
Me too, that's all I honestly want is more details and clarification. So much we still don'
|
|
|
21:08:55
|
|
|
I'm STILL waiting for Nomura to do a step by step interview detailing what we saw. He did them all the times before, don't make this be the time he doesn't. ;;
|
|
|
21:08:26
|
|
|
I imagine the Grand Finale will be a montage recap. I'd be happy with some new information though. A XV demo walkthrough would be hot.
|
|
|
21:06:08
|
|
|
I'd be down for that. I would like to see a bit more of how everybody fights. Purple hair seems to me to have the most potential to be a secret badass.
|
|
|
21:05:19
|
|
|
His design when he's not wearing that stupid getup is really appealing to me.
|
|
|
21:05:04
|
|
|
But of course that's just a hunch with no basis.
|
|
|
21:04:51
|
|
|
That guy SCREAMS pure villain to me.
|
|
|
21:04:16
|
|
|
Which one is purple head? The one in the frilly outfit with the umbrella?
|
|
|
21:03:58
|
|
|
However, as I've said, let's assume that an antagonist can become good down the line and Stella is playable. If Blackie Locks is close to her, that might include her as well.
|
|
|
21:02:31
|
|
|
Because Stella says she's from Tenebrae and the other dudes are probably from Niflheim. It's why I think black-haired chick is a villain.
|
|
|
21:02:01
|
|
|
I think it's more lined up as a very general protagonists to the left, antagonist to the right thing.
|
|
|
20:59:24
|
|
|
'Ey! We're important enough to spam again!
|
|
|
19:58:39

|
|
|
19:39:54
|
|
|
|
19:39:50
|
|
|
You all sicken me. In lean times, gone, but when there's a feast to be had you're back like nothing even happened.
|
|
|
19:39:20
|
|
|
Another fairweather friend, eh?
|
|
|
05:20:56
|
|
|
Oh. You meant beat as in... My bad.
|
|
|
05:19:16
|
|
|
XV really looks like the game that could restore the Final Fantasy name to something of what it used to be. You already know it's going to be fun, at least. With action games you can tell how they play by looking a bit better.
|
|
|
05:18:30
|
|
|
Those are some games to beat more than once, even.
|
|
|
05:18:04
|
|
|
|
05:16:26
|
|
|
|
03:51:23

The E3 trailer showed the dude doing a move that looked a lot like flight.
|
|
|
03:15:57
|
|
|
Oh I know. But flight? I'm already won over.
|
|
|
03:09:56
|
|
|
But in the meantime, inFAMOUS is looking oh god so good.
|
|
|
03:09:45
|
|
|
I'd imagine so. I can hope for 2014 though. That game looks so sexy and I've been so faithful for so long.
|
|
|
03:08:20
|
|
|
That would be so bangin'. They're being really tight-lipped about any sort of release window, but the game looks like its flowing smoothly. Zero framerate issues, combat looks smooth and polished, many systems seem to already be in place.
|
|
|
03:04:12
|
|
|
The jump in generations and name change at least accounts for the silence since 2011. That still leaves five and a half years of needless drought though.
|
|
|
03:02:57
|
|
|
Nomura said in an interview that the silence was over and we should expect to hear about it frequently from here, especially at events. He mentioned TGS by name I think.
|
|
|
03:02:25
|
|
|
|
02:37:43
|
|
|
I'm hoping Nomura will do a big gameplay interview since so much has changed since he did one two and a half years back.
|
|
|
02:37:24
|
|
|
|
01:55:24
|
|
|
Either way, it seems pretty obvious to me that the snake in the logo is Leviathan, and I don't think it's coincidence that he's the beast tearing apart Noctis' home.
|
|
|
01:50:47
|
|
|
So it seems to me Stella, already being outside Lucis, in conflict with them and having magical abilities could be the source of Leviathan as a superweapon.
|
|
|
01:50:22
|
|
|
Yes. We know she's forced into conflict with Noctis that she doesn't necessarily want, and we know that she has magical capabilities. If I remember, magic is pretty rare what with just one crystal.
|
|
|
01:48:01
|
|
|
Yes! I thought so too! Her conversation with Noctis was full of regret as she severed ties.
|
|
|
01:47:41
|
|
|
If you have thoughts I'd love to hear them! I'm hoping we can have a good discussion.
