@triodug I think I stopped after beating corrupted monk
-
@triodug For me the world and lore expanding is the carrot that keeps me motivated to push through the frustration. I think I felt Sekiro didn't reward me as much with it as Dark Souls (and Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, and King's Field IV seriously play it!)
-
@triodug It's not the gameplay I bounced off. I think it's the world, but I can't really explain what about it didn't work for me. I will probably try it again at some point in the future.
-
I tried Armored Core a couple of times, I just couldn't do it. I think it might become fun later on when you can experiement, but near the start of the game it feels constricting and so repetitive and the wall of unfun it starts with is too much to scale for me.
-
@triodug Dunno, I bounced hard off Sekiro at some point. I liked it, my interest just tapered off maybe halfway / one-third through it. Didn't happen with Dark Souls 1, 3, Bloodborne (which I only didn't finish because I sold my PS4 before I could), and Elden Ring.
And King's Field IV; it aged beautifully, just play it.

@triodug Chromehounds. It was one of the best multiplayer experience I ever had
-
@why I dunno, I like the distinction between games that are landmarks for the entire medium, and games that are "merely" some of the best examples of their genre.
I guess on a scale out of three you have to make your personal tastes known, and then you can compress everything to:
3 - It impressed me
2 - I got what I expected
1 - It disappointed me
-
Qualitative game review scores on a 1-5 scale:
5 - If you like video games, you should probably consider playing this game.
4 - If you are a fan of the genre this video game is in, you should probably consider playing this game.
3 - If this game already had your interest prior to this review, you should consider playing it.
2 - Unless there is a specific aspect in this review that I point out this game does well that you really, really like, you should probably avoid buying this game as it might to disappoint you. Maybe wait for a deep discount or try it somewhere first.
1 - You should avoid this game, it will disappoint you.
I think that would be a useful scale. People who are genuinely interested in a review to guide their decisions get the info they need. The problem is when people start taking these to compare games. By that scale, the best fighting game of all times might still get a 4, while a fantastic but more flawed game in a more approachable genre might get a 5.

I'll see how it is in the new apartment, but I might have to invest in one of those camera ring lights things for video calls

@why @triodug Me I'm the guy that's always just a shadowy figure contre-jour style because my desk faces a wall.

@Moon My issue with "modern" gonzo is not that it's not readable. It's that it either feels like they are trying to imagine Thompson in their situation, or that they write as themselves who have orders of magnitude less interesting personalities than Thompson had. It either feels insincere and a pastiche, or just makes you think "why do I care what this boring asshole was thinking or drinking at that time?"
-
The big problem of journalists trying to write gonzo is that they're not Hunter S Thompson.
-
This is the big conundrum of writing reviews IMHO:
No one cares as much about a review than people who have already made their mind about the subject.
These people's interests are directly at odds with those the reviewer is supposedly writing to; the undecided.

@newt @sim @solidsanek I do enjoy game analysis (usually longer than a review) or personality-based game review videos (example: Mandalore, Sseth, Dunkey when he isn't just shitposting...). But for me "journalistic" game reviews died with GG as the prelude to the death of the authority of "journalistic" anything.

@sim I sure hope my wife does!
