Apropos of the sound this bird makes my kid cousin drawing an angry birds comic with a bird expressionlessly saying âroy gahâ while still in the slingshot

the version of demonâs souls that i pictured in my head the first time i heard about it. the character model took up much more of the screen and they were chunky like quake models. movement was heavier, louder, and more abrupt. the dungeons were blocky geometry suspended in the void per intelligent qube, neverwinter nights, and the abstract platforming levels in mario 64. the art design was a lot more like diablo

How utterly apathetic I am to Neir Automata when I loved the original so much. Itâs not even on the backlog! And Iâve got practically everything on there!

I wish game remakes were handled with the classical literature editor method. Keep the old game the way it was, but then put some extra bits in there because you wanted to write some fanfiction about a character you like.

It has plenty of good moments. Maybe even more; it is a longer game in general. But it doesnât⌠have the same magic. Itâs hard to isolate. I think it is a personal thing for me, the way I nearly always prefer the shock of revelation of an original over the refinements, however many and however welcome, of a sequel.

Itâs a good enough game that doesnât have quite as much charm, doesnât have nearly as much fun with the video game form, and isnât as good a melodrama as the original. Itâs a very enjoyable game, a very good game, but also a far more normal game.
I sometimes look at âbusyâ release weeks/months when a bunch of indie games (particularly similar ones) come out close to one another and wonder if it causes some of them to suffer/fall through the cracks (with big budget games I assume the answer is yes based on the higher price & how the actual companies act). I even sometimes keep track of the number of Steam reviews as a rough barometer of the number of people playing each game and let me tell you⌠I have no idea how one would even begin to figure this out, thereâs no control group, it is a complete waste of time.
(UFO 50 and Lornâs Lure both very much found audiences, Judero didnât really, I donât know if them all releasing within a 4 day period made any difference)
(Like a dozen and a half puzzle-ish games came out in May and all I can tell you is Animal Well probably sold more than the rest combined)

I obviously (see the Rudie Top 100) have an essay in praise of Automata in me but it would take a while to narrow it down.

Iâm watching some Digital Foundry Live Stream where they play PS2 Launch games and what is impressing me is how quickly they can just Play The Game and there isnât 45 minutes of tutorial or the opening village or an onrails vertical slice section. A lot of them just have an open world or mess-around mode.
