There was absolutely nothing like that in the game. For whatever reason, Mitsoda decided to criticize the original game for how it portrayed the Malkavians and its implications regarding mental health, back when Hardsuit Labs was still in charge of developing Bloodlines 2. I'm not sure if there was ever a solitary individual who decided to get his information on mental health from a tabletop RPG or a videogame, but there we go.
Do we really need a dedicated room of team of texture artists to make hyper realistic wall textures or whatever?
Well yes, I'm playing Miles Morales right now and it does a good job of making New York feel pretty alive until you play some missions and realize that the city only seems to consist of 7 people.
Prerendered backgrounds with 3d blobs moving on top of them were about as ‘cutting edge’ as its convoluted bs wall of text was a ‘story’ or screen swirlings every few seconds were ‘cinematic battles’.
Those are the guys that made Resonance of Fate, right? Loved that game. Interesting battle system and a fantastic setting.
You're not alone. I replayed GTA V last year and it solidified my opinion that there's barely anything interesting in that game. I think Trevor is a likable scumbag and that's it. The map is terrible with an empty upper half, there's nothing surprising or memorable about the missions, the black playable black guy has no character. I don't expect any wonders from VI.
A character that only exists because some faggot said "We can't make a video game about two middle-aged white guys coming to terms with the past and how life has turned out! Shoehorn a nigger in there and give him nothing to do!"
Story and the character Customization are pretty Meh. Sephiroth boring as an antagonist. 7 is where Final Fantasy started to devolve into the party being bloated as hell gameplay wise because all the characters are functionally the same mechanically.
10 is straight trash the Sphere grid is on par with the random stat gains from 2 in terms of junk character building.
How does that scale with a "Sports Fan"
That sounds like a whataboutism. I'm saying this as someone who's finished more games than I care to admit.
I don't give a shit what it sounds like "You are a Man-Child if you play Video Games" is a hypocritical retard tier take from most people who have "Interests" that are much worse than Video Games in every way.
Actually being a "graduate student" is.
Fawk, good job I dropped out then!
No shit. Remember that Star Wars movie that came out a while back? The meme was, don’t spoil it. My whole goal of survival is to experience and play GTA VI. After that, we go from there.
No its pointing out hypocrisy. It's whataboutism if you're making a parallel to DISTRACT from the original but in this case the initial statement is retarded on its face.
No, it wasn't. By the time it came out, the Playstation was already 3 years old, and untextured polygons with rigid body animation were yesterday's news. The whole graphical approach of FF7 was cutting edge in like 1993, maybe. The prerendered backgrounds looked good, and the FMV was impressive for the time, but it's not like it did anything radically different than what Rebel Assault II had done a couple years earlier. Resident Evil, which came out the previous year, did something similar, but had texture-mapped characters. This is what was cutting edge in 1997:
I have no hope for GTAVI after seeing Saints Row and (to a lesser extent) GTA V.
Not really. The original gamers were just as old, if not older. They just converted video games into something for kids, because it was great at keeping junior quiet. Just as with comics and animation, which were once for adults, were re-tooled for kids, because they were great at entertaining kids and keeping them sated.
While this will get a lot of hate, you aren't wrong. Especially with how games have just turned into slop across the board at this point. It makes making friends as an adult hard when a large portion of those in your age group still spend weekends rotting away playing trash and they consider that "hanging out".
