One thing is certain, pretty much every site, almost as if they coordinate, has removed your ability to dissent (dislike button). The plebs are being trained to simply accept feces, fitting for the Turd World dystopia they are making for us to languish in. Whether art or games or jewtube - the goyim cannot dislike the slop being shoved in their faces, at least that's the idea. Thank god for extensions like return youtube dislike.
It's not just that. There's also an effort to protect their mouthpieces. Twitter is removing public likes. Why? The users didn't demand it. It looks like it's because so many celebrities, journos, and activists keep getting caught being hypocrites. eg. Journos writing hit pieces about sexy game characters while having their likes filled with thot and porn accounts.
Yeah it was maybe a bit of an exaggeration on my end lol. I actually like roguelikes occasionally (as you can see from my pfp) but I think my point was more that a lot of the really big games in the indie scene tend to be almost as homogeneous as the AAA scene, so it's a bit worrisome that instead of changing for the better, it'll basically be one soulless group switching to another.
I think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the French "J"RPG from the Xbox presentation, had the best showing out of everything. Looks pretty, fun, and intriguing.
I think it looks great but I was linked to a three year old article from the game's creator, from when in was in very early development. It sounds like it will probably be a FFXIII-style "corridor RPG". Not sure if thats a deal breaker for you or not.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop for me, which is depressing given that it is a barely changed 12 year old game. Getting on new hardware is a plus though.
Oh, I already suspected as much from just the trailer alone. The story appears to entail the party heading towards a distant destination, one that seems to have a point of being regularly visible above the scenery, and I think it's pretty save to assume that the game ends when they get there. In the interim, the party travels through twisted, alien landscapes filled with nothing but otherworldly, likely-silent enemies. It doesn't look like the party will be meeting anyone else along the way, so they'll only have each other to interact with. Maybe there will be some flashbacks or vision quests. Wouldn't be too surprised if the game clocks in at about 20-30 hours.
FFX does get some criticism for that but it did everything else so damn well that it mostly gets a pass on it. FFXIII on the other hand has a fever dream story vomited onto you and worse gameplay.
This actually looks good, like a video game.
FFX doesn't constantly have you switch between pairs until you get to the open world part. Heck, apart from Rikku and Auron, you start with everyone in Besaid and it's one long pilgrimage.
That does look like a game of that era, and man I miss that.
The Spike Chunsoft game is Kamaitachi no Yoru x3, a murder mystery visual novel.
The second screenshot is Kamaitachi no Yoru, a collection of the three sound novels around a murder/mystery theme. The first game originally released on the Super Famicom (SNES) and is generally seen as a classic in Japan. You play as a young man in a snown mountain trip with his girlfriend, who then rest inside a lodge for a night while a blizzard is raging outside. Unfortunately, the place becomes the scene of a terrible crime as a corpse is found in several pieces while the culprit is hiding amongst the dozen residents. Further murder cases keep appearing if the player is unable to find clues, and it's possible to have various endings.
