20% through sonic frontiers (probably, 1 of 5 map areas done). it's very much structured like breath of the wild. there's portals through the map that are like shrines, though instead of puzzles they're these more classic sonic challenge levels. the mini bosses and bosses are pretty epic looking, i kept thinking shadow of the colossus because of how you scale some of them, it has more that feel than the giant beasts in breath of the wild i guess
nothing is particularly challenging so far, it's certainly more spectacle
i hope the world is less static on these later maps. there's a line in the game about how empty and static the first world is, i hope that was just some bad creative decision on the first world and not a writer trying to paper over a game that really could have used another year to bake

Re: It's Video Game News
This is a well realized gaming experience.
At one point as I was fighting through a Tyger Claw controlled whore house trying to finish an objective, I realized that I had basically just done a Takeshi Kovacs on the place. Since then I've learned more of the game systems and I've refined my V, I'm now very much a Ghost Netrunner. I'm maximizing for Ninjutsu/Quck Hacking and it is brutally effective. I haven't even called Panem yet and I'm tearing around Night City cleaning up all the crime activity.
Pour like Hemingway's last call.
Re: It's Video Game News
Has anyone tried Marvel's Midnight Suns? What I've seen looks about 50% awesome (turn-based deckbuilder but with positioning and cool environmental combat, sort of a blend of StS and XCOM), and 50% terrible (cringy dialog, microtransaction cosmetics and mobile-style grind in a full-priced game).

Re: It's Video Game News
It sounds like the tactical layer might actually be as good or better than other firaxis tactics titles, while the strategy layer and window dressing has got a bunch worse. This game is probably less amenable to modding than the XCOM titles were, which makes me less interested because high quality mods were a great part of shaving the rough edges off these games (although it is creditable how well X2 performs unmodded)

I plan to just keep playing marvel snap instead, but if you try this do report back as I'm very interested in tactics games in general and ones by this studio especially

It costs $60 currently, there is zero chance I'm buying it at that price, but I'll probably have some scathing things to say about it in 5 years when I get it in a bundle

Re: It's Video Game News
It sounds like a lot of academics are interested in it, and I guess you have the fact that it's being forced into Fortnite as a motivator for people to actually use it, so we'll see. I'm not particularly thrilled with the prospect of actually writing code with it especially around some syntax decisions, but they've made some changes for the sake of making it more adoptable so hopefully they continue to do so.Skeletor wrote:idunno where haplo thread is but this Verse language sounds wild and the first exciting metaverse thing i've ever heard
Re: It's Video Game News
That said, if the "metaverse" becomes a thing, there's no doubt in my mind that Epic is absolutely the only company in the race that people should be rooting for as far as a principled, open approach to it as a platform.
Re: It's Video Game News
Yeah I've been watching Northernlion's playthrough of Midnight Suns and this shit is painful. The writing is abysmal, and not even in a funny way where you can really make fun of it, it's just so boring and there's so much of it. There isn't a single character I can give a shit about, least of all the player character.
Northernlion is in rare form, though, I'm having fun watching the let's play. Will not be getting the game.
