      but then it wasn't a reasonable time frame, what is highly likely from a project management standpoint. "hey Hideo how long will this take?" "maybe like 4 years" "ok release date is in 4 years, get going"
      then we have delays, based on things not working out, maybe not enough pad time was added, but the blame is not just Konomi's much of it still lays with Kojima who in interviews with himself, and his teams has been stated to go back to the drawing board sometimes throwing away months of work, cause it didn't fit his ever-changing vision. if anything the blame that Konomi deserves with MS5 is they called Kojima's bluff, and held him to the deadline, that I have 98% certainty that he agreed to himself, or even set himself.

    • @Magpie5yndrome
      @Magpie5yndrome 4 года назад +5

      I actually find that to be one of it's strengths. Before you judge, let me explain. As opposed to its predecessors (Origins and Awakening) which take place as the actual events unfold, DA2 is entirely made up of flashbacks from Varric describing the events to Cassandra. Every map and event is a memory of what he's seen or an imagining of what he's been told. It makes sense for the maps to be simplistic and reused because his clearest memories are in the events and people, not in every twist and turn in the many, MANY caves they wandered into. The biggest exception to this would be the Deep Roads. He WAS there and it was a huge, HUGE find. From a narrative perspective, the simplicity fits. It's "here's what's happening" vs "here's what happened."

  • @bonneville1285
    @bonneville1285 4 года назад +1

    I'm sure this has been said heaps before but one part of why the Driver tutorial was such a big deal was this was the era of hiring games. It wasn't at all unusual with the PS1 to head down to the local video store to hire games (or consoles and games). With the internet so limited you often only kind of knew about the games and so if you got too stuck and you only had a few hours to get your money's worth it'd be easy to put it aside for the other game you had hired or worse luck drop it back the next day and regret not having grabbed the game sitting on the shelf beside it.

    I’d add the ending of Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time, where (SPOILER ALERT) Sly saves the main antagonist’s life, only for said antagonist to steal Sly’s paraglider and try to escape, leaving Sly in a situation which separated him from his team and his time (as shown in the post-credits bit, he was transported to Ancient Egypt). There’s one huge problem with that: Sly Cooper would not be that stupid, especially not in a situation like that! The previous games actually showed him to be pretty intelligent, but Thieves in Time seemed to have turned him into a complete moron. And that scene was the icing on the cake, with him ending up stick in Egypt being pretty much his fault. That’s not my Sly.

    for anyone who's been invested enough into both The Last Guardian and Shadow of the Colossus to try and get a platinum for them, it's obvious that the latter is so much more a pain in the ass than the former. instead of relying on one unpredictable but surprising AI you are expected to beat time-attacks relying on the whims of sixteen of them, whilst struggling constantly with faulty grip system, stupidly inconsistent ragdoll physics, and camera which is far more harmful to the process than in TLG. at least on the ps3 version of SotC, the PS4 remake made it all a bit more humane, but still I don't get it why one game is always called a masterpiece and the other - a failure, while containing only a small fraction of the inconveniences of the first one. yes the times are different now, but none of those titles has ever pretended to be a gameplay-first mainstream action game, they have always positioned themselves as atmospheric experiences first and foremost. in fact, TLG is much more clear in its presentation as an experimental game, whilst SotC tried much more to be a game-ey game, with meters, high scores, combat and all. what the hell guys. I love both of these games, but I refuse to agree that TLG's lukewarm reception is based on anything more than internet hype-machine that fueled both the disproportionally high expectations of the cult following and the vicious cycle of reviewers repeating all the same phrases one after the other. I totally understand how Trico can be frustrating to many players, but for many of those who are interested in new sides and experiences, it's design is probably the most interesting thing that this game, and this generation had to offer

    Dead Space 3, the combat focusing less on aiming and more on fire and forget. You could also argue that the multiplayer and micro-transactions ruined it, but I think the fact that you no longer needed to shoot off limbs and had a bad cover system really killed it.

They gave you turrets to hack, and places to hide to do stealth takedowns. (also it integrated all story DLCs into the campaign, but that's not related to the issue here)

Then as the game progresses, you both bond and Trico actually starts being more mindful of where you are and starts going out of its way to save you.

Similar to rainbow six? I hate how so many franchises feel as thonthey have to jump on the looter shooter division style gameplay or fortnite.
      I also preffered Diablo one to 2 and 3 as they focused more on a cool dark tale and taking on bloody Satan as opposed to a stupid amount of 'gear' and slightly different stats, that's apparently the rage with all the kids these days lol. That's why i never got into borderlands i just want to enjoy a good game and story not have to go through a 1000 different pieces of gear with different buffs and effects. Like you said let's get the old developer style back and give them the modern tech to bring their better stories to life.

    The unsure coward who turns into a hero is a tried and true troupe in Japanese forms of art (manga, anime, etc.) It's usually applied to Shounen characters (younger male protagonists) but can often be applied to others as well. It wasn't a "mishandling," it was their application of a narrative of character development onto a heroic character. They were not saying that Samus is weak because she is a woman -- the undertone is that she is weak because she has not yet developed into a hero. Her development from weak to strong is what makes her, according to the troupe, a compelling and relatable character.
    If she just starts off as and continues being badass and unrelenting from beginning to end, that's not character development.
