Things That Should Die With This Gen - The Bear and Badger

beano

It was funny but there's no reason to make them [indies] die.

If I had the capacity I'd reel off a list of indies that made it into multinationals.

But that should go without saying.

Well, i don't like Molyneaux bashing he talks big to maintain a widespread passion in ideas, even though he hasnt managed to scale with the technology rising over the years, scope-wise and implementation into a decent game. Still respect the man a great deal, should probably know better than make promises he cant keep, but i do think he knows he's doing it and its more for the principle of the matter. If you start sounding half arsed about game concepts that are meant to keep people excited that game concepts like that could feasibly happen, that somones trying (even if he fails like a powerful ox-beast of failure), then interest and investment into broad scoped games might falter a bit

No worries Beano i thought it was a dumb poke at the oculus (We of the Oculus Illuminati get defensive easy) cause someone who doesnt super get it might be like 'why the fuck you looking around at invisible stuff with ridiculous goggles, at least the monitors THERE', and then i'd stand on my soapbox and go 'excuse me, the reality in my goggles is more intersting than my monitor and appears to be there the same amount'. So yeah.... lets highfive. I'll take the horse either way i'm hungry

Also yes, Nintendo should do a Sega and bugger off hardware, i mean it would probably mean they fire a hell of a lot of people and get famous for making card games or whatever they did before consoles, but shouldnt do a Sega in the way of like, published a shitton of absolutely terrible games. They should be this elite unit, producing lauded cultural events of games that are anointed by archbishops across the world

I dunno which games you mean with the running away horror games, if youre including Amnesia or Outlast, you are wrong, but otherwise maybe some are terrible

Resident Evil should end

Horse Armour.
If I find the cunt who bought this he'll need more than fucking horse armour to protect his worthless ass.

seven years later and we're all still paying for this fool's errand

Billion digit long dlc codes
Fuck them, pain in the ass things. Either burn it to the disc or for the xbone have a qr code.

qwerty keyboards that require so much effort
On a similar note.
Pressing left, left, left, up, left, up, A, down, down, right, A... repeat times infintey.
Why is this even still a thing on 360 when it's built in web browser allows a floating cursor that is ten times faster?

Also great thread

One of my favourite games so far this year is Legend of Dungeon. An indie roguelike funded on Kickstarter.

FUCK YOU GAV! winkyface/

Ass Crud and online passes can get to fuck though.

The original Amnesia did it right, whereas A Machine For Pigs is terrible. Removed everything that made the original great and just forced you to run away in the most linear game I've seen in a while.

Outlast, while decent, does nothing new whatsoever. It repeats the exact same pattern during its entirety, run and hide, run and hide, run and hide. Real basic design.

Fucking websites, forums and magazines that get you super excited about games. So much so that you buy them then don't have the time to play them all.

I have probably 20 great games that I still haven't finished. So no more talking up games ok?

Great thread btw.

I want backwards perks. Every time you reach a certain level you lose another skill - if you're good enough to reach level 60/whatever you should take pride in Bing able to take down overpowered noobs.

Mario Kart innit. The shitter you are the more blue shells you get

We're pretty much there. I've got a little USB keyboard I keep by my TV for the PS3 and I use that SmartGlass thing on 360 (except older things that don't support it and force me to unplug the keyboard from the PS3).

That horrible Kinect text entry shit they've got can get to fuck, though.

Mod74

I can take a hint.

Well theres me being a thicko for not even thinking of smartglass lol

Terrible AI controlled co-op characters (I.e. fucking Sheva). The ones who steal ammo, run into walls and die through sheer stupidity.

This is all just a bit of fun, guys. Let's keep it in that spirit. I'm just fucking around.

Bollockoff

Shooting people.

With guns, anyway.

To the end of P2P and lag-abusers! Naughty Dog's games are the worst-affected, and they're my favourites.

And Howlin' Doooooo 2. In too many quarters, indie has been a lazy byword in denial of creativity's amorphousness for a dozen-odd years. The Hirst of gaming.

monkey

Franchises. Burn them all.

Bollockoff

Male protagonists. Chop their cocks off.

RedDave2

Checking for downloadable content.
Please dont. I'll ask you if I feel like buying more bits of the game thanks.

2 years of Hype

Granted, this goes for movies too but I dont really need to know so much about about a game so far in advance. Its put me right off most games magazines. A small preview to get the name out there is fine, then have a preview nearer to completion.

No one wanted to come out and say it.

Countdown timers to announcements, or countdown timers to more countdown timers. Either way they're a pox that must be stopped.

Oh yes. Hyping the hype. ffs.

beano

Nah Gav, lets get serious, pull votes out and forward the thread to publishers when we're done.

afgavinstan

Hahaha yeah I'll put it on Greenlight.

Nah, this is a debate free zone. Get dramatic, be a cunt, and there will be no repercussions! What fuckin annoys you?
This is the thread where we can all be like we were on FNF, basically. Let's have some fun, dammit!

Urrrgh everyones going to hate me for doing this all the time eventually but its not my fault!

Outlast was one of the most appropriate fits i found for a hacky approach to getting oculus support in (some funky drivers by tridef). The genre is absolutely perfect for it just like fps are handy if you own both an oculus and an eating disorder. Game was/is a pretty stress inducing experience when you're feeling too close to everything for comfort. It works well for games like that wholly, Dear Esther was nice too. Pity i couldnt get Amnesia to get it's reality goggles groove on cause it uses OpenGL instead of DX. One day i hope

Lets burn the factories!

Howdy, Stranger!
