Funny that you point to the Poseidon Princess example, this is like one of the most evil things Kratos ever does in the entire series and it's honestly disgusting. His Character is disgusting and pathetic and GOW 2018 explores that, not as deep as i would have liked but at least it points out from time to time that Kratos is a horrible being.
I don't think you have to sympathize with your protagonist at all, exploring that disconnect can even be interesting like it was in LoU2.
Name me please one more series other than Last of Us, GTA and i guess God of War (even though they heavily course corrected in the Reboot by retconning a little) where you play truly awful people.
I watched the Godfather Trilogy recently and that is basically 10 hours of horrible people doing bad stuff. At least everything that Michael does, still great movies. So movies can also be drawn out in that aspect. You have shows like Breaking Bad that take up to 40 hours that is the same stuff. TV Shows in general often bombard you with Asshole Protagonists.
In comparison to that bascially all other Games out there are lighthearted fun adventures where you can have fun shooting bad people in the face, style on some demons and look cool. You are extremly overestimating the amount of Games that have you play as a literally bad person. And i think Last of Us is like the only series that explores this properly in an interesting way.
ND need a new ip before TLOU3. I already given up on hoping for Jak. Hopefully this new ip is a shift in tone.
Jin Sakai is a war criminal and an unrepentant monster. I'm sorry, but just because he got results doesn't change the fact that he committed a war crime and then showed zero remorse for it, even when his adversaries repurposed his own technology and used it against his own people.
And yes, you're right, Breaking Bad does have an asshole protagonist. Which is why I got fatigued by the show two seasons in and stopped watching.
It was a good game, and hopefully the next time we see Chloe they've done the right thing and either drop Nadine from the series entirely or recast her with a more appropriate voice actress.
I would love a new UC game from ND starring Chloe and Cutter, that would get me so excited.
I don't think it has to do with that. It's just stories that Neil really wanted to tell.
If Neil his writing their next game, i don't think it would be "blue-sky and fun" because he said on the youtube channel of Troy Baker, he don't think he is the best to write these kind of stories.
Maybe they need to let some other writers shine, then. He's gonna be busy with the TV series anyway, right?
Well i doubt Neil will be writing alone so they get need someone who can help with that .
Yea, Neil's speciality is writing characters and character stories in relatively grounded ways. It's just his thing.
I quite like dark stories, so I don''t mind it at all if ND's next game is another one of those. I'd prefer a new IP over another Last of Us though.
aw man but what's Bailey gonna do without a job to put food on the table?! </sarcasm>*
(in all seriousness; complete agree. Now's actually the time to do it without hurting any feelings with Bailey's (not undeserved) win with another ND role)
* I dig Bailey a lot—ever since she was Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket—but she's extremely active and it'd be nice to give other folks a shot...especially for problematic cross-race performances
Are you sure you like something in your life ? You're always complaining and negative. Maybe you don't realize it but it's bothering almost everyone here with the time. Plus you're never hyped by anything Sony are doing so I'm questioning what you're doing here spreading your negativity every damn day.
I would say Jin is just fucking boring, but i really don't see how using poison is a war crime compared to just stabbing people in the back. Both things kill people and sure one thing is more cruel than the other, but the USA were responsible for a huge amount of war crimes that just involved guns. Especially considering that this was an Invasion. But even if you think it's a Warcrime, this course of action doesn't appear until the end of the 2nd act of the Game. Before that Jin is an honourable Samurai that just stabby stabs some people in the back when it's more convinieant. Like he is just a bad example because it occurs soo late in the Game, that you start to question his character.
I am curious who's writing their new IP if that's happening after Factions. Could be that it's not Neil (maybe giving help though).
Here is the quote:
Triple Click: Our Predictions For 2021 said:
Also, a kind request that when you're discussing something from a podcast, please have the courtesy of typing it up for everyone that may not be able to listen, as well as to avoid potentially paraphrasing anything out of context.
Yeah I feel like that quote aligns with what I said pretty closely.
Especially when you take into account his tone.
Firesprite are working on ''a next gen narrative adventure'' game (alongside other projects):
Yeah, I wasn't saying you were wrong. You didn't say anything other than what he said was interesting.
That being said, Jason's comment reads to me like he either knows that Bloodborne / insert PlayStation game here *is* coming to PC or knows that Bloodborne / insert PlayStation game here *isn't* coming to PC lol. So we'll see in due time I guess!
He strikes me as a pretty good performance director and tastemaker. I don't know if there'd be any issue with him doing well creative directing a much more lighthearted work that was structured and written by Scherr and co. Or mentoring/supporting Newman/Margenau.
Yeah I remember it was around 2008-2009 when games like Uncharted 2 and GTA IV were being decried for ludonarrative dissonance and in the decade since then we've been playing as monsters like Trevor in GTA V and Joel in Last of Us. Almost feels like spite...."see this is the alternative!"
Btw, has anyone experienced any weird controller issues with the PS5? In Spider-Man Remastered and in Ghost of Tsushima Legends the characters just began walking and the controller became unresponsive. I connected another controller while that happened in Legends and things went back to normal, but damn what a weird bug in two different games.
In Legends I was in the last enemy wave in the survival mode when my character just began walking circle lmao. Other players must have been looking what the heck I'm fooling right now in a critical time lol

Looking at Bowser's Fury I am likely going to rebuy 3D World again for the Switch.
I hope Astro's Playroom gets something big and expansive this gen too beyond its VR sequel.

It really was.
Hopefully the development team is motivated after the critical success, because the pressure is on for them to deliver again with the next installment. I'm very excited.
I just wonder if Cid's going to sound like Larry the Cable Guy again. I don't mind if they give him a southern drawl, but hopefully more like a Texan TLOU Joel drawl and less like a guy that eats opossums from East Tennessee. :D
I mean i get the meme but too many people are rushing to say this lol. We don't even know if the game will be first or third person.
Will be interesting to see how that plays out, from the looks of things it's a long way off.
Speaking of Uncharted, I want to wrap up my trophy hunt for Uncharted 4 but that speedrun and getting through certain segments in a specific way are really daunting to me. I got the multiplayer trophies just fine so I can take my time with it, but unlike previous Uncharted games I'm just not feeling it.
I'm honestly not at all. The games are years out and by that time if you absolutely need to play these the Series S should be easy and cheap enough to pick up.
An Indiana Jones game where you cant see Indiana Jones would be a weird marketing choice
With what he said on the GQ thing, i think is gonna direct their next games, he said at the time he didnt known if they will be doing a new IP or TLOU Part III.
Same. I got to relive playing it for the first time by Watching Maximilian Dood play it his reactions throughout the game was amazing

One of the best Mario games easily, and for those who never got to play it on the Wii U I'm glad they'll finally get that chance.
Actually this seems to be a "We have just started making this so keep an eye on our job posts" kind of announcement - like Project 007 - with Bethesda saying it'll be a while before we hear more about the game, so I think they have made Wolfenstein 3 since 2017 and finished it and started development on this in the summer. So I think this is far off.
A ton of people hate on 3D World but I liked it, Bowser's Fury although may be just a small addition looks even more free though which is nice to see while still being polished in platforming paths, etc...
I hope Sony makes a ton of Platformers themselves this year.
Make this gen the platforming gen again.
It is 100% not going to be on PlayStation. If Sony acquired a developer who shortly after announced a game why would you assume it would release anywhere else?
Hmm, I've never actually seen a lot of hate for 3D World. The opposite actually.
The face-off is interesting because the script of U4 is a burial of all colonial aventures, tracing the lineage of these stories from Tomb Raider to Robert Stevenson.
