The story for this said that his brain never developed past being 5 months old.

So yeah she killed him. It just took him over 35 years to die.

I have both and I think so. Although to be fair in my case I traded in old consoles to basically pay off one of them.

They're both so much quicker and games look and perform better.

I was with someone from the Brotherhood of Steel and I made her do it. And she something like Chivalry is dead. I can't remember at all. But it was so stupid. There was Super Mutant right next to us and she would not go.

I wonder what the writers were thinking at that point.

I reckon they set up the big sacrifice ending and forgot that some of the party members were immune to radiation for a long time and added in those lines as a last minute thing.

So I just got to the tutorial about junction statuses. For some reason when I try to do it like the tutorial example I don't get the option to select anything to junction on Squall. Is it because I haven't unlocked it with the GFs or something?

Yep. The tutorials are pretty stupid with this.

From memory the skills under GL have a name like Jt-HP or something along those lines. When the GL learns those you can junction magic to the applicable stat.

When you had to go into the radioactive chamber to save the world or whatever and die in the process. Sounds standard enough.

But you have several potential companions who can do the same thing without dying. They all say no when asked. Not because they're at risk or whatever. But because for whatever reason they all think this is the Lone Wanderer's destiny and he's a coward for asking people who would survive to do it instead. So the player has no choice but to needlessly die.

She did murder him. It just took 35 years for him to stop breathing.

Assuming it isn't a secret Kojima title, I have no idea if their marketing is genius or stupid. It gets people talking about the game but with all the intentional teasing it's gonna blow up in their face when it actually is just a random indie game.

If people buy the game still convinced it's secretly from Kojima it won't matter if it blows up in their face. It'll sell more than the far majority of indie games.

The teaser looks like a low quality asset flip.

Lack of any sense of urgency is something that just really annoys me about open world games. Like oh no your best friend is kidnapped! You have to go here to do this mission to save him!

...or you can fuck around for days just playing cards or rescuing cats from trees or whatever and it doesn't really affect anything at all.

I miss Dead Rising :(

But yeah the balance between immersion and player freedom is tough in general. Even something as simple as a steep hill in a forest in real life is pretty dangerous but can easily be bunny hopped down or up in a video game.

Oblivion kind of does this, but the problem is once it does it still can't railroad you into the story. So you go a few hours and then suddenly there are Oblivion gates everywhere and you actually get a sense of urgency and doom... for a moment before you go back to spending 60 hours on pointless side quests.

Yeah that's basically how they have to do it. Stuff happens in a mission and it stops outside of random encounters that last a few minutes.

I feel like BOTW kinda presented these types of options, but obviously in a smaller scale

Yeah I actually do appreciate how that game and Death Stranding used open worlds as part of their design.

But yeah I think about how tough it is to actually tell an epic narrative in an open world. Dragon Age Origins as another example. You see the map gradually getting blotted out by the Darkspawn. Can't really show off something like that in an open world game.

It's something that's a an inherent consequence of designing an open world game.

I'm playing through Final Fantasy VII Remake right now and the game is pretty damn linear. But yet the actual world of Midgar seems huge. Aerith talks about shortcuts between Districts she used to take as a kid and she shows Clouds the ways to get there. You can see train stations around the place and each area you travel to seems like a well lived in place. The plates of Midgar hang over the lower districts and rays of sunshine peak through. Midgar seems like a massive city.

Open world games by design are big and are just getting bigger. But yet inherently you can set a waypoint and easily sprint around to your next destination no problem. If the game has cars it's probably gonna take you less than 15 minutes to travel from one end to the other and that's with a big world. In real life that's considered a short drive in your local area. To make up for this games usually shorten days to 24-48 minutes so you don't have the impression of a character doing a shitload of missions in the one afternoon.

I think of something like Lord of the Rings. Where they have to make the decision of travelling over the mountain or going through the Mines to get where they need to go. Open world games just can't really provide that sort of dilemma because the scale would be too crazy in order for the game to still feel open.

I think it's why stuff like older JRPG's still provide things that current games can't really do. The overworld lets you fill in the blanks of a massive world but that wouldn't work in a modern video games because they are designed to fill in all of the blanks.

Just a random thought I had. It's not a complaint or anything. Just the reality of designing a video game I guess lol.

These two genres of games often rely on having a diverse cast of interesting characters to choose from.

So which one has the worst roster?

I wonder how it'll start. Like the opening of tlou1 is pretty damn memorable and I hope they copy it pretty closely and don't relegate it to flashbacks or some shit.

By the sounds of it they're using the game as a framework of sorts and will use the TV format to flesh out things further.

I have a feeling the opening will be the first episode. I also think characters like Tess, Bill, Tommy etc. will be around for quite a bit longer.

The fact that its apparently more expensive that Game of Thrones was, I have trouble thinking it will do well enough to be worth the extent (especially if you consider a significant amount of the TLOU fanbase is really mad-toxic)

Everything seems to be well-proven and likely to be good though, so I don't think the question is "will it be good" as much as "will it be good enough to cover its extortionate costs?"

I think HBO Max and streaming services in general have changed the game a bit. HBO was already the channel with the big budget TV shows before streaming took off. I am curious how they measure shows are a success or not. I think streaming gives TLOU a pretty good chance but who knows.

Im trying to think, have there been any other notable live-action television VG adaptations?

I don't think there have been any yet but Showtime is also making one for Halo. Hulu is also making one for Hitman (and Googling it reveals that Agent 47 will have hair smh).

I think TLOU will succeed because the bar is so damn low. Even Sonic and Detective Pikachu were better than the far majority of VG adaptations and they were average at best.

I really hope not. I'm not a fan of the series but the success of this show could really determine the future of video game adaptations. It doesn't help that they're spending a comical amount of money on it.

Well bringing in the creator of the game to oversee the production and be involved as the writer along with giving it a proper budget and people with an actual pedigree wouldn't be the worse thing to happen to video game adaptations. I think TV formats overall are a better fit too.

But tbh I'm not overly invested in video game adaptations in general. With the production value of games these days I don't think it's really needed.
