Game Design: Going Back To Square 2 Edition
Fuck me, I came here just as the board kinda died. Sucks as this place actually seems to be about game design rather than shit posting unlike /v/.
My question is, how do you tell a story in a video game without having to resort to cutscenes or turning your game into a walking simulator? Or without having to do pseudo cutscenes parts in your game like half life 2 did where you'd stand and do nothing while npcs talked. How do you get player driven games to tell a cohesive story while not resorting to using different mediums like films and literature.
Keeping in mind that games are player driven, is it possible to convey emotions on the same level as a book or movie? With a book, the story can be conveyed through description and usage of words and sentence format. With movies, scenes can be portrayed through the usage of the camera, how a shot moves and can be viewed, and through actors, while a game uses player input, and how well the player can be guided while also challenged and invested in gameplay moments. What's tough about video games is that the player is involved with making a moment. This stems from the fact that video game are still partially toys, no matter how you look at them. While other forms of artistic entertainment really only require the audience's attention, vgs need player input. The problem is, the artist/designer then doesn't have 100% control over how certain events line up. How do you balance player involvement/interest with what the designer wants the player to do.
For me, there are 4 major genres of entertainment that can be mixed together, and are usually set and stone for each artistic medium. That is horror, drama, comedy, and action. With video games, I think we got horror and action to be fairly decent. Don't get me wrong, both of those genres need a shit ton of work still, but for now, they show signs of being on a semi decent track in terms of being interpreted in a video game format. It's drama and comedy that concerns me a bit.
More so comedy than drama. With drama, it takes traditional character development for a player to care about an npc or even the main character. The thing is, that really only works for rpg games, where traditional character/story development is more sensical and focused on. How would you get a player invested in a story while still keeping things player driven, and without resorting to cutscenes? How do you strike a balance between player involvement and story? With comedy, that shits even worse. Comedy usually requires strict timing and delivery. In a game, the player's playthrough varies upon whose playing, making the designers job a bit of hell to know how to implement comedic antics. Making jokes through dialogue doesn't count, as that's really just literature/radio form. How do you tell a joke, or even have a comedic moment in video games without having to have, LOLSORANDOM or SoStupidWackyorBadThatItsFunny moments?
Do we have to have completely rethink how to convey drama and comedy to fit into video games? Cause the way things are going on right now, both triple A high budget games and indie games are failing to not only innovate, but also finding a way to get video games their own identities. Meanwhile, the "gamer" community is to busy trying to turn gaming culture into a fashion to notice that they're eating shit. Sorry if this mini blog went in all directions, but I'm tired as fuck and I wanted to sperg out my opinions somewhere were hopefully people truly take game design seriously and not just jack off to the idea of video games. Anyways, I could go on for literally pages on game design, but I want you guys to discuss.
interesting gameplay mechanics
Most "interesting" gameplay mechanics you've seen implemented in games ?
Stuck!
What are you currently stuck on in game? What's the thing stopping you from breezing through that game? Wow I like this place!
Wow this board is very very comfy.
You know what's a comfy game for me to play? Katamari Damacy. Such a great game to play from the comfort of a quilt, don't you agree?
The Future of the classic RTS
Seeing as this board actually talks about games (unlike /v/)What do you guys think the future of classic style rts games are?
With the exception of a few games like world of goo, the market really hasn't seen any big old school rts games in awhile.
Deus Ex
>The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.>Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.
Finally an actual sequel, looks 100% schway
ITT: Games you always recommend
Go play Ikaruga right now, fucker. It's a shmup where you shoot and dodge white and black bullets. You absorb bullets that are the same color as your ship, and do more damage to enemies that are a different color than you. The game is simple but very challenging.It's a great gateway into the shmup genre.

Hello, /videogames/. I just wanted to let you know that I'm the new board owner of >>>/kind/, and I'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to drop in and say hello. It's not really devoted to the discussion of topics pertaining to vidya, but I think kindness is or should be a virtue valued by all, irrespective of our interests or hobbies!
Check out our vidya thread: >>>/kind/251
Lego games
The lego games from the late 90s/early 2000s were actually pretty solid games
so lets have a thread for them.
8chan is dead, again
Is 8chan ded?How do I ASCII?
Why is there a camel with a band-aid on its ass on the banner?
What's is love?
3D Pokémon
I've enjoyed this for the past week, maybe you will too.
Metrocide
It's what would happen if hotline miami and blade runner fucked.Initial 4/10, after spending a few hours learning it and playing it as a casual sort of "Oh I'll pop in and do 20 minutes in between shit I should be doing" kind of thing I'd say 7/10.
Hotline Miami 2 is out. What's the verdict?
Glass windows, gun enemies and doorway glitches: The GameI give it 8 outta 10, if the first one was 9 outta 10. It drags on a bit too long without introducing any fresh mechanics, and the jungle levels feel out of place, but it's still a great game and the story is excellent.
So Bad It's Good
Do you think it's possible for video games to have a 'so bad it's good' category or is it simply not possible for bad gameplay to be enjoyable, even if the cutscenes are hammy, over the top, etc.? Esports
Anyone actually follow "Esports" here? I've been watching Dota on and off for the last few years, but the constant team reshuffles make it hard to stay attached. Also, the lack of new faces is a bit discouraging. Other games haven't really caught my interest.Also lets just get this out of the way:
I know it's a stupid name, but saying "esports is not a sport" is like saying "e-mail is not mail". You're right but it's a pedantic argument.
2010s rpgs
Any newer RPGs that are pretty sweet?I just finished Legend Of Grimrock and i'm about to start on the second game.
Game genres that should be put on moratorium for at least 5 years
You're elected president of Video Games. You can now put a genre or game idea on moratorium for a few years. Anyone attempting to make a game that fits the genre will be hanged. What do?I'd remove every game that claims to be "Minecraft with guns" and every open world zombie survival game.
Bloodborne
How are ya'll enjoying Bloodborne? I just finished off father G and the cleric beast. Getting ready to move into the next area... wherever that is. Kickstarter Confessional
Was anyone here stupid enough to invest in a kikestarter? Did it pan out?Confess ye sins here.
As for myself, I invested in FTL way back when kickstarter was new, and then Stomping Ground, which was supposed to be day z with dinosaurs. FTL turned out to be one of the early kickstarter successes,, while Stomping Ground was so fucking bad it was abandoned within six months.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-18-the-sorry-state-of-the-stomping-land-another-abandoned-kickstarter-video-game
Metal Gear?
What will the "Big Twist" be in the latest installment?Will it be the last MGS game?
quitting multiplayer games
What multiplayer games did you play for hundreds of hours and then chose to quit?Why did you quit?
Game Length
What does VGLounge think the best length for a game is? I primarily only play on Friday and the weekends, so I'd have to say 12-20 hours is prefect for my timeframe. Dynasty Warriors +
>only just recently pick up Samurai Warriors 2>decide I rather enjoy it
>think missions could be more varied, but overall enjoy slapping shit out of lowly samurai
Which of its innumerable sequels do I grab next, /textv/? There's so fucking many.
I don't care whether I'm slapping shit in ancient China or Japan, but I've just got no idea what the merits are for each game that came after. Although I do know enough to stay away from the DS outings, and I don't have a WiiU, so the Zelda one's out, I'd really like a bit of guidance here.
Or you can ignore my plea for recommendations and potted summaries, and just talk about your fave levels and characters, instead.
Video Game Awards Thread
Not that I particularly think television and film awards are great but video game awards seem to always fall even further below the bar.The recent video game BAFTAs had some good examples of what not to do.
You can see all of the categories, winners and nominees here: http://awards.bafta.org/award/2015/games
The first main issue is that DLC (The Last of Us: Left Behind) is being judged on the same level as full games. It's a game - it's part of a game. In its defence the rest of the games in the Best Story category didn't have particularly fantastic stories, but still Best DLC should be its own category. It's simply not equal even if it is DLC 'Oscar bait'. The same goes for Best Performer: Ashley Johnson has won the same award twice in a row for the same character because she played the character again in a bonus chapter. It makes little sense.
Minecraft: Console Edition won Best Family Game. A game that came out in 2011 gets a go at the 2015 BAFTAs because of the console version (which first came out in 2012 but the new PSBone release is special?). Simply put: new editions of games - unless they get a huge overhaul to the point that it could be considered a different game - shouldn't count as new releases. Is the lastest re-release of Resident Evil going to win a new award because it's recent?
The Game Innovation award went to a walking simulator that wasn't all that innovative. Some of the other nominees weren't innovative either: Titanfall is your standard FPS, for example. Overall it seems like a poor category to have since plenty of games simply follow a standard formula and still manage to be good.
Mobile and Handheld are one category. The Dorito Pope Awards did this as well. I don't understand how they think they're the same just because they're on a small screen and all have touch screen controls now.
Destiny won Best Game. A rather forgettable game but so were some of the other nominees.
I don't think video game awards are ever going to be good but the BAFTAs weren't even trying.
ITT: Fresh platformer ideas
The market for 2d indie platformers is saturated to the point where nothing is good or interesting anymore. Your task is to come up with a gameplay mechanic in a platformer that has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. No time travel (Braid), controlling multiple characters at once (Mario World). grappling hooks (Umihara Kawase). Give it your best shot. Any kind of item, powerup, or level that has yet to be attempted.I may or may not be a lazy and uncreative game developer coming here to steal your ideas, but please go ahead and post them anyways:
character naming
Whats the name you use to name your characters? ATLUS games
Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, Trauma Center, etc.Favorite series?
Favorite game?
Game you're looking forward to the most? (Can be one not yet released, untranslated, or just one you haven't played yet.)
So far for me I'd have to say MegaTen is my favorite ATLUS series and Strange Journey my be my favorite out of those. Persona 5 is looking pretty great and I can't wait for more info on it.

Space Station 13
Hey guys, ever played space station 13? Literally amazed me with the simplistic complexity and the sheer amount of random shit you can do. Imagine your assigned a job on a space station. A job that matters, a crew member along side maybe 20 others. Each crew member has a role and some more important than others. And then there are antagonists. Randomely selected each round events can trigger. And a station run by a bunch of strangers loosely working together are plunged into chaos. THIS GAME IS THE SHIT! Also, HONK. Underrated RTS games
Which RTS games are pretty underrated in your opinion?For me it would half to be the warlord battlecry series and Darwinia

Video James
How can you discuss a visual media without images? Grey Goo
Has anyone else here played it? It's made by former Westwood folks, and you can definitely feel the influences from them when you play. I just wish I could do better when playing as the Humans. Any tips? Reduced Tolerance for Boredom: Am I a Casual?
Whenever I get bored of a game, I stop playing.If my sole reason for playing is to improve something in-game (e.g. the hub, character's equipment, etc) I'll stop playing. I'd rather spend the effort of self improvement on myself and my life, where I'll get money, skills, status and stuff. Also, grinding for equipment and the like just makes the game easier. In other words, it's a difficulty slider you have to work for.
If my sole reason for playing is the story, I'll likely stop. It's rare that a video game's story is more captivating than a film, TV show, anime or even a history book.
I look towards hours of completion for a game and hope for something <5 hours. Anything more than that and I feel as though it's just adding padding.
More and more I gravitate towards 'casual' and roguelikelike games, for the instant challenge and involvement. If I spend too long on a tutorial, travelling around or watching bad cutscenes, I'm bored and I'll stop.
I used to love doing completionist stuff when I was a kid, because it gave me goals and rewards. Now I'm living on my own and have my life to invest in.
Who else feels something similar?

spurts
Pretty much my entire life, I scoffed at sports games for being casual shovelware trash, but lately I've been getting into watching real sports (handegg and netsphere) with my dad, and I was wondering if there's a sports game worth playing in those categories. I'm asking here because I can't trust game reviewers at all for this kinda thing.Do I just get the latest shit or is there an objectively best game/year to play?
Request
I want games like Ace Attorney. That has the same rewarding feel of awesome when you solve a puzzle(cross examination), games that make me feel like a genius, and with a great story, ofcourse. Help me anons! Alternatives to death
What are some good (non point and click) games where you can't die? Dying can sometimes take people out of the game if it happens too much, so I'm wondering if there are any games with creative alternatives to it.Here's an example from a game I recently found called Uncanny Valley:
>Uncanny Valley's main difference from other games is a thing we like to call the consequence system. Whenever you fail at something, the game goes on, but with harsh consequences for your character that can impact both the story and the gameplay.
>For example - you fail at avoiding your attackers, meaning your character will move slower throughout the game, making it harder to escape future pursuers, so the player needs to be careful and more clever, which adds more tension to the game. Of course, there are a couple of sections where you can die, but we're trying to avoid that as much as possible.
>Why? Because dying and repeating the same section over and over is tedious and leads to frustration. The game stops being scary if you're angry and just want to rush through it, so we think that adding such a system will still keep the tension while adding a new layer to scariness.

Difficulty Settings on games
Do you play games first in Easy/Normal mode, or try Hardcore/Nightmare modes right from the start? Why? Which games?I just started playing Tales of Zestiria on Second, because I'm used to tales games but I didn't want to grind as much as Hard requires. I usually try to play games on Normal difficulty from the start, because that seems the way they created them to be, but sometimes I don't feel challenged unless I crank it up a little. However there are games that are impossible if you play them on hard. What are your experiences?

Subject line most definitely related.
I still stand by my initial assessment that it's largely button-mashing popcorn, but I can't say I haven't had fun with it. The ebb and flow of battle as reinforcements arrive and events get triggered. The balancing act of trying to slaughter every last thing while accomplishing your missions in a respectable time. The huge amount of stuff to unlock.
And I've learned a few things about Japanese history. Things like Shingen and Kenshin's damn near chivalrous war for territory in the middle of the country; Honda Tadakatsu's unwavering loyalty to the Tokugawa clan; and how Hideyoshi Toyotomi actually had an epic bromance with David Schwimmer.
I'm not eager to line Koei's pockets further, but from now on I won't pass them up so quickly when they're sitting in the bargain bin.

Civcraft Thread
Let's play some Minecraft together /videogames/.A bunch of folks from different boards are getting together to play some Civcraft, a modified version of Minecraft with a heavy emphasis on political, economic, and social interaction between and within player-established states.
The state being formed presently is Chanos, a small nation in the southeast. It is composed of provinces representing different boards and communities, each with a high degree of autonomy under a single federal government. How provinces are organized is up to the community.

2. If you must take food from farms, replant the seeds.
3. Spawned too far away? Kill yourself and respawn until your closer.
4. Find your ways to cities; they are often connected by railways that can get you close by.
5. Closest station to us is Isle of Arran.
6. Don't grief any private property in Chanos.

This font is horrible. Thimbleweed Park
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thimbleweedpark/thimbleweed-park-a-new-classic-point-and-click-advIf you remember, a long time ago Ron Gilbert made a kickstarter for a game called Thimbleweed Park.. It's a point and click adventure in the vein of Maniac Mansion. It even tries to appeal to nostalgiafags and makes the graphics like Maniac Mansion. So far the game seems pretty interesting, but there's just one thing that's bugging me: the interface.
I understand they're trying to appeal to people's nostalgia for Maniac Mansion, but including this old, clunky, outdated interface baffles me. It doesn't add anything to the game, it just make it take a few seconds longer to interact with something. I can already tell its more stuff I have to click on if I get stuck and have to start using objects randomly, (which will probably happen at least once since this is a point and click adventure game). Modern adventure games got it right with their interface.
Is there anything good about this old interface? This really just looks like a case of people willing to put up with bad game design because of nostalgia.

Women are complaining about having to play with males, gays are complaining that they're grouped up with women, trannies are complaining that its not fair that they're limited to one per team. A shitstorm is inevitable.

Has there been any updates on Stasis in a while? It was a point and click isometric adventure horror game set in space, with god-tier sound design and art that got kickstarted in 2011. It's supposed to be coming out Q1, 2015, but there hasn't been any updates since November.

Valve to unveil OpenGL successor this march.
So apparently valve is making the next OpenGL, called GLnext. This is supposed to make openGL easier to develop on, so we might see more games made on it, and perhaps more cross platform games for PC.http://schedule.gdconf.com/session/glnext-the-future-of-high-performance-graphics-presented-by-valve

Also you're all plebs with no appreciation for the medium of videogaming whatsoever.

What gamaes are you looking forward to?The only ones I care about right now are Killing Floor 2, Witcher 3 and MGS5.
Also, that city building game by the Cities in Motion guys looks cool.
