Hahahaha YES Thank you dude, im amazed you got it with that paltry description

Hahahaha YES Thank you dude

Would appreciate a lot if you could help me out! 1.PC Side scrolling (i think shareware) platformer game, before the year 1999. You are a generic blue mouth with legs (like pacman but rectangular, and with legs), and you have a family that looks exactly the same except with hair. I remember...

100% this. Can't we have this one fucking game?? Dark souls 2 is out now and it's gray uninspired mess, every boss does the exact same thing; move with the celerity of a dying turtle then stand still while you kill them. Thanks for taking away the one series that gave me some happiness you off...

I used to be more "cautiously optimistic" about these kinds of reveals but I've been burned every single time, especially with big developers like Bioware and Blizzard and EA and Ubisoft (and square and capcom and Sega, who now owns atlus). The instant warp unlock is a very bad sign to me...

I hate this argument. It's not a choice, they put it in the game, and regardless of their intentions that is what they designed the game around. It's the same argument people used for splinter cell when they gutted the stealth from that game and turned it into a balls to the walls steven segal movie

As of late, none. Everything is cookie cutter formulaic garbage save a very few rare cases, all of which come from the indie and mid tier development. Triple A is a hopeless wasteland littered with opinionated focus group retards and life size Commander Sheperd cutouts from feckless hundred...

Communication between the people and the devs/PR has been inconsistent and frustrating to say the least. Some marketing asshole tried to draw comparisons to skyrim and I was having none of that.

As soon as i found out where that long elevator ride down was taking me, I was just amazed. Finding out that I could go back to the asylum and fight the secret boss pretty much sealed the deal.

The "Lone Traveler" aspect was so cool, allowing you to warp from the start all but confirms my suspicions. They don't care about creating an intimate relationship between the world and the player anymore, mark my words it is the beginning of the checklistification of dark souls. Such a bullshit...

I guess level design means different things to people, to me it's just a general term for the way the world is put together and the details that flesh it out. It's the same for me, the seamless inter connectivity is a huge part of the experience, it makes it feel like a real place that you...

I think the precariousness of thin beams and questionable footing adds to the adrenaline rush. I find it difficult to fathom why anyone would want to showcase such a garbage level in the game.

The first time you enter the bell tower and take the elevator down is a wow moment, finding shortcuts to the valley of drakes, the deep parts of new londo, defeating the undead dragon for a shorter path to blighttown, entire hidden areas like ash lake that you can miss entirely. I've never seen...

Huge detailed worlds that draw you in and make you want to explore. Controls have heft and weight unlike every other game ever. In a game like red dead redemption, Rockstar is trying to suck you into the old west and make you the cowboy. They want you to smell the desert air and the dried up cow...

The way the areas are interconnected is unlike any other game I've ever seen. The depths was labyrinthine and required intense focus. If you prance and frolic through the depths you're gonna have a bad time. Platforming is only hard until you get a feel for the distances and the limits of where...
