A very substantial portion of those choices do make a difference though, even if it doesn't come back to you until much later or even in the very end of the game. Other choices are just there for roleplaying purposes, so you can set the direction you want Geralt to go with the conversation, and then he'll take it from there - it's pretty similar to Deus Ex 1 in that regard.Hir wrote:Don't you think the long cut scenes broke the flow of the game, Witcher 3, up too much. The interactions you had in some of these very long cut scenes were pointless. You have two conversation choices, pick one and a further cut scene ensues, then your are back to the two conversation options and you select the other one and another cut scene ensues. I think these conversation 'options' were only put in there to give the illusion of choice as an average gamer, imho, doesn't want to sit through a quarter of an hour cut scene, they'd rather be playing the game.
Maybe. Doesn't look very much like a Deus Ex game though. The majority of the gameplay shown so far looks like a somewhat less minimal Gears of War/R6: Vegas or what have you. And the slow time augmentation stirs irrational anger within me.Hashi wrote: lol looks pretty cool
And there's that irrational anger stirring again. I should direct it into workout sessions or something, rather than just Deus Ex evolution.Spidey thought
Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:
- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post "N.B.D." on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the "humble brag".....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he's super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it's all NBD to him, of course.
- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there's an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it
- Snapchat just launched a "story" functionality, which is sort of "day in the life of me" told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey's Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.
Also on American Hustle, I was thinking (and it may be way too late for this), it would be awesome to get all the cool fashion brands to do a huge 70s style collab.....Urban Outfitters, Free People, American Apparel etc. They're sort of leaning 70's already, Macklemore hitting it a bit with Thrift Shop style etc. Would be interesting for Am Hustle to be the name behind that.
Hope not too random! N

Hmm? Ambitious as a business venture or art & design piece? Definitely the former, but that backfired when the fan base kicked up a shitstorm of disgust (or so I hear).They fucked it up, but it was ambitious...
There is no denying going multi-plat diluted IW as it would any game, however the controller had little to do with it (see Arx Fatalis, a much better immersive Sim than IW which made little design compromise and was Multiplatform), and furthermore consoles don't have to == shitty design decisions (uni ammo, crappy RPG systems, simplified inventory, dumbing down of just about anything). IW was a clear sellout, and one of the first of its kind....and try to produce something that wasn't bound by the limitation of the technology at the time (namely Xbox and its controller).
Not a chance. AAA game dev is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. It supersedes even Hollywood. It is like this and it ain't going away.Made in China wrote:I think this is one of the reasons why AAA gaming is due to collapse on itself.
Pretty sure you're a millennial. I am. Read the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MillennialsPicture what will the result be when the "millennials" become the content producers?

Why does a focus on the past cramp your creativity? Both TNM & Expeditions were comprised primarily of old design principles, were they not? When I mod/design/program, I'm thinking of pushing game design. I'm looking to the future, although sadly doing so on a shitty old engine, but that is how it must be.I can't stay part of this community if it turns into the RPG Codex. It's too reactionary, too focused on the past. It's cramping my creativity, holding me back. I gotta make new shit!
I'm always seeking new experiences, primarily in the form of old content I missed. The past is the biggest entertainment library available after all. The majority of modern experiences I do not enjoy, but there are always exceptions.Please don't let OTP become like the RPG Codex or TTLG, a forum for people who have let their nostalgia turn into jadedness and overtake their love of new experiences.
Heh, funny. I remember aroun thiafs release people on the codex would look down upon ttlg because the general (pre-release?) consensus over there was way more positive towards thiaf.Jonas wrote:Please don't let OTP become like the RPG Codex or TTLG, a forum for people who have let their nostalgia turn into jadedness and overtake their love of new experiences.
Which, if you think about it, is a sentiment of the past. When was the last time a new genre was born?Jonas wrote:I gotta make new shit!
