Ninja Theory makes good games. Which in a sea of battle royale trash, single player story driven games are getting far too rare a thing.

Yeah, I'd describe NT as a good game maker. Not game of the years. The critics have merit for pointing out the lackluster stuff. I genuinely feel they just don't have the manpower, time or resources to craft it beyond what we get.

Oooh, another The Last Night thread. I’m sure this time it will go...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/test-footage-for-the-last-nights-options-menu.145004/

Isn't the guy who made this a huge piece of shit?

Never mind.

 

There's not even any clear sense of what the gameplay is supposed to look like yet. I don't know man, just because it's pretty doesn't make it fun.

[VomKriege]

As far as I understand NT maybe didn't deserve all the vitriol when they really were a contractor for Capcom and a lot of the "design flaws", "disrespectful characterization" and the "Westernisation" were not a bug but a feature demanded, even directly supervised, by Capcom itself. The whole didn't gel too well and plenty of the criticism is warranted (though I understand the revised DmC version on PC made it a lot closer in gameplay standards to the rest of the series) but there was a lot of dramatic hyperbole surrounding it.

[Anti-Monitor]

What's the reasoning for calling developers "lazy" being worth a ban, but calling them "nazi" being okay?

they still had some developers on the board when they made the rules

It’s classic othering.  If you’re perceived as being on their team you’re protected if not, the rules don’t apply.

Capcom did indeed ask for a heavier departure, but NT's founder and head Tameem was not helping matters by going out of his way to shit on fans AND the old games 

Also, the revised version, the DE, is still not up on PC because it mostly cribs from fanmade mods without giving them credit

DmC is pretty much a shitshow all around. I'm still surprised and glad DMC5 exists at all.

I'm deferring to player's opinion. I must have mixed things up, I thought the revised edition was only on PC but that's the other way around.

Reminder crowbcat is racist

This guy is doing it wrong. You’re supposed to go “isn’t crowbcat racist? ” then someone else can go “yep, he sure is” and then you go “okay, that’s what I thought”.

Now that’s how you threadshit.

[EchoRin]

The lazy devs talk is kind of a ", c'mon man" type of banning. Goes back to even GAF where it was seen as a cheap sort of way of saying "I don't like thing", but with most dev cycles not being anything close to a picnic it became frowned upon and eventually a bannable offense.

Calling someone a Nazi. I guess that depends on context.

Don't forget to throw in "Wait I thought they fired the racist guy from Crowbcat LLC Inc ? I read it here somewhere." for maximum confusion.

...

Go straight to HR and get it on record.

[nachobro]

I honestly don't get the hubbub around calling a development decision lazy. Yeah some idiot could be like "the devs are lazy" without any real argument but pretending lazy decisions can't be made when developing a game is acting deaf, dumb and blind.

Too bad we don't have any devs here who could shed light on this matter, we only have stufte.

i just assumed its because they wanted to be a developer safe space and get them all posting there like gaf had for a bit without realizing forums are a dying (dead, really) trend

[nachobro]

yeah the obsession over it there is something else. especially weird how they claim its the reason trump got elected but also whiny, impotent babies that have no power over anything. how can it be both at once? (especially cause i don't think it exists anymore?)

[nachobro]

also austin walker got canned, waypoint on its last legs at this point?

[EchoRin]

I think the "devs r lzy" comment became a no no is mostly because it was typically used in a rant type of way.

Not to say that GreatSage is wrong about his feelings on Hellblade in terms of the mental stuff (I have not played the game. I presume you did), but I looked at the games wikipedia and it seems like the devs really went all out in terms of figuring out how to properly present psychosis. Working with proffessors in the field. Collaborating with people who suffer from the types of mental ilnesses the game presents the main character with. Maybe the story is hamfisted as you said, but it doesn't appear like they half assed (LAZY GAME DEV RHETORIC!!!) that part of their research or implementation.

[BisMarckie]

Could not have happened to a better person.

I am pretty sure he’ll become a full time patreon grifter now.

[VomKriege]

Because attacking and "vilifying" the press is what Trump and the far right does.
I really think it just goes that far.

To be fair I do think that the long disdain for the videogame press was a fertile soil for Gamergate. For years a lot of people used interchangeably "a bunch of incompetent, sycophant elevated fanboys mostly acting as glorified catalogs" and "BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE GLOBALISTS PUBLISHERS" which is more incendiary and was, for some, easily mutated into buying hook, line and sinker that some indie dev fucking some writer was a MASSIVE SCANDAL proving that those incestuous elites are in a cabal to transform the proud hardcore gamers into sissy giant dad SJWs. It's undeniable that this is the classic far right narrative on "media" or "Hollywood" being reskinned for videogames.

Not that it warrants the endless shielding from criticism but to be honest gaming forums probably needed to mute the usual console war rhetoric a notch.

[Potato]

comic book films are the lowest on the totem pole of things that have no impact on me beyond being mildly entertained for a couple of hours, it's hilarious how these dickearlobes have constructed their identity around these. But hey I shouldn't speak too loud, I know a bunch of people who's identity is fast food based 

Half of the people on REEEEsetera define their personalities by who they stick their dick into (or dream about sticking their dick into while sitting in a car park in a child care facility or their parents' basement).

Disney blocking Netflix ads from their channels. The bots man the battle stations and fire away with “it’s just common sense”. Sony doesn’t bend over and take it and yank Spider-Man from the MCU and the replies were “fuck Sony, Disney needs to buy them.”

Sheep. All of them. Dear God.

I tried to explain why anti-competitive behavior on advertising platforms is bad for the market, but I mostly got faulty analogies about "well then you'd have to advertise Nazis!", "well then Walmart's brick and mortar stores would have to add an advertising platform and advertise Target!", "well then local CBS affiliates would have to advertise NBC affiliates!"

So fucking stupid.

What would their lord and savior berns think?

its not about the amount of research they did or the effort they spent on it, and I'm not a maths teacher giving some token points for showing their working.

I don't really care if they phoned up a psychologist and asked what schizophrenia might be like to experience as a sufferer, when the end result is just instead of a UI prompt saying "YOU CAN'T OPEN THIS DOOR YET" or "ENEMY BEHIND YOU" its whispery overlapping voiceovers saying it instead, because mental illness.

Fuck, Michael Bay does a shit ton of research and collaboration with the US Army for 'authenticity' in his films, to the point they're a borderline military recruitment tool, but his films are still shit that stretch credibility.

Eh, the only thing that really died under Klepeck would be the Waypoint offshoot of Vice's videogame coverage. Ziff Davis killing off every single last gaming magazine and website under them really had nothing to do with him. Everything else though is still kicking.
