I used to play LittleBigPlanet 2 every day back when it was new. It was such a revolutionary iteration on the first game, I figured 3 would have limitless potential. I even remember a Game Informer article jokingly claiming that LBP3 would have players code their own games from scratch. As ridiculous as the idea was, it wasn't much of a stretch from what people were already doing in 2. Instead, the game we got was just a misguided rehash with none of the same energy about it. I hardly even played it after finishing the underwhelming story mode.
I never really looked into why this was the case, but I gather Media Molecule wasn't involved with LBP3 in the same way as with the first two. At least they moved on to make Dreams, which seems to be more in-line with what I had been expecting, although I've never played it myself. I've always appreciated games with robust level editors; I think they led to my interest in programming.

Dark Deity is one game that, from a story standpoint, failed to live up to its potential. Gameplay-wise, it is similar to the Fire Emblem series, with well-executed gameplay similar to that of that series. The gameplay was what I loved the game for. The story itself is completely forgettable. I beat the game last month, and I've already forgotten the story. The conversation between the characters I unlocked was a chore to read through too. Have you ever played a game where the gameplay was good, but the story was bad?

Morrowind makes me mad because todd howard was the director, The story of the game is so rich, And so much could have come to a sequal but instead came oblivion which for its time looked terrible and the story itself is watered down and even slightly non-canon and then all the other shit that came after.
Sometimes i can only imagine if morrowind was directed by someone else and what would have came from it.

Another game by God Howard himself that comes to mind is Fallout: New Vegas.
Part of the problem is that they got the original fucking team that made the original fallout games, Gave them 15 fucking months to make it and the shitty fallout 3 engine as a means of making it.
The writing and a ton of the gaming aspects are fucking incredible but the shitty copy-pasted engine thats held togeather by sting and glue is pretty much toast and the graphics are for shit along with tons of bugs.

i was reading a blog entry by chris avalone about the honest heart DLC and hpw they where inspired by old comicbooks and stuff and it was interesting and MAN does it suck to see such ideas wasted on a shit platform. hell the offical new vegas comic is pretty damn good. i almost feel like they could have told the entire damn story in comic book format but i guess i can understand the want for a game and the problems with working for shitty gaming companies.

Handholding really does piss all over a good game and i feel like it also just pisses all over the player, as if they "aren't good enough". I mean, do they really need to paint everything neon yellow and have 50 map pointers and some retard yelling at you in order for you to move forward in a game? Depending on the game, isn't getting lost a good thing? Aren't highlighted objects immersion breaking? In a game like bioshock it actually fucking worked, all this time the handholding and the "you must do this thing" was brainwashing! It hits you like a fucking truck. If you do need a "guide" in game, why not make him or her unreliable? Not everyone is a human computer who knows everything. Wouldn't it be bonkers if the guide fucked up along the way by giving wring information, and if you actually payed attention you could find the right path?

I'm still mad about silent hills getting canceled. it was going to be the first silent hill game in so many years that actually had team silent members working on it. not only were they going to have akira yamaoka, the sound guy who was one of the main contributors to the original silent hill games, but they were going to have art direction from junji ito, one of the most iconic and well loved horror manga artists of all time. they made a playable trailer (pt) and it looked so good, it had so much hype, all the biggest lets play youtubers were playing it, but they cancelled it anyway. and now the only lasting effect of pt is that because it got people interested in silent hill again, the prices for the original games have skyrocketed. my first silent hill game was silent hill 2. I was a bit late to the party but I managed to get it for not much more than $20 usd. if you try to buy it online now you're lucky to find it for less than $200.

Where have we heard this one before? Surely this will involve another mysterious dam construction that involves a superstitious curse?

>>1221
this but throw in some thinly veiled fetish content like doing a quick time event to escape the monster who'll spank you to death

>>1222
So basically Higurashi Rei as well, but not as lighthearted?

>>1223
Yeah but lets throw in that the main character had a girlfriend much to the dissaproval of the town and her parents, and an ex of the girlfriend character who is a male, beats the girlfriend to death with specifically a baseball bat which kicks off the story. Also you can look at the player characters panties.

>>1220
yeah and I'm really excited about it, since I love silent hill as well as japanese history and religion which this seems to be heavily involved with, but I'm still gonna be mad about silent hills being cancelled until I die lol

Did you ever see the P.T aka silent hill easter egg in metal gear solid the phantom pain?
