Shit I still remember when there was a sex minigame in GoW where you literally got experience for how well you dicked down the inexplicable hoes that he'd just run in to. People were more offended by that than Kratos wishboning random monsters or blending people up with his weapons.
I liked it too, sure it was WAY oversold as something it could never be [at the time, a modern look on it could be close to that original vision] but the space/Civlike segments weren't nearly as entertaining or interesting to me as the early game. The concept has a hell of a lot of potential though so it's a shame nobody is seemingly doing something with it.
Lol, lmao.
Corporate ones don't, no. Random videos from people who just make reviews on shit they like or might have an issue with are the best option for "reviewers". At least they're best before they get popular and corporate claws sink into them, either because they get sponsored by game companies or because they've been making a bunch of money from views.
It's a cultural thing, from what I know Japan is pretty much the opposite. Being generally fine with sexual and suggestive content but drawing a pretty decent hard line at intense violence and gore. Resident Evil 7 had a Japanese only "Grotesque Ver." which was basically the uncensored version that the rest of the world got.
I always had my many playthroughs of spore go the same way. Forget there's no auto-save after a crash. Save constantly afterward but enjoy it until space age then just go. "I'll do this tomorrow" .. and never play that save again because nah.
The only game reviews that have ever really mattered are the ones you and your friends give eachother.
I disagree but more on the basis that it's because a lot of autism simulators like DF, underrail, CDDA, etc, do a piss poor job at introducing systems gradually and/or having a comprehensive way for the player to engage with each system on their own time.
I mean, a poorly designed game is just poorly designed. I wouldn't consider that diminishing to my overall point, considering who designed Skyrim and why they designed it in the way that they did. My inherent issue with overtly complex games comes from the fact that a lot of features that exist are either bloated for the sake of "realism" or "complexity", or are inherently pointless to the overall core of the game.
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed for sixth gen and below
Silent Hill 2 was the only one I wanted to play. I tried playing through Silent Hill 1 as a prerequisite but it took several hours to get the first boss, and eventually I lost my save file. Despite that, I thought it was pretty good and I prefer it to Resident Evil

Agreed
Sunshine had refreshing creativity and originality, especially with world design and environments. However, the difficulty was fucking brutal at times
Crimson head is the most underused threat. It’s more dangerous than the Lickers and less ridiculous than the NE-as, but for some reason, it barely shows up. Big missed opportunity.
Plenty of people prefer Silent Hill 3 because the characters aren't as unbearable. Even Claudia has logic to her actions.
The promised concept was impossible. That's why Spore's hype was ridiculous, why it was the most predictable disappointment ever, and why nobody is doing something with it.
I do understand what you mean but I've personally never had that issue with PZ ever since picking it up only a year or two ago.
Yeah I agree with that point. It comes down to that narrow focused experient vs sandbox thing I've mentioned before. Innovation for innovations' sake often leads to bloating & a degradation of the overall experience if it's applied to more focused games.
