I think it’s probably risky to make that assessment unless one has a lot of experience with Japanese games (and my impression is that Chris does not neither do I). implies that as a critic Chris should be able to say whether Yakuza 0 is a good game or not, irrespective of the fact that he’s enjoying it. There are still plenty of games for the Vita, but they’re almost all JPRGs. Chris mentioned playing Persona 4 (not 5) on his Vita, and that there aren’t any games coming out for the Vita anymore. There are plenty of other places where we can read previews of upcoming games this podcast should focus on its strengths, the back and forth between Chris and J.J. I’d vote against doing previews in the future.
At the end of the day, a well crafted story is what people ultimately want in their games and other media, not a game with a crafting mechanic that was put in because it worked in another game. It’s almost like another type of uncanny valley a game that just feels off because it’s trying to mimic another one you have played. “Cool” is vey commonly the enemy of story. It is a game trying to pass itself off as other games in order to gain your acceptance and approval.Īt the very core of it, I have always felt a lot of these games (and movies too as you both talked about) suffer when a decision is made from the “wouldn’t it be cool if…” idea as opposed to the “wouldn’t it make sense if…” idea. The corporeal shell is in tact and shiny, but it’s lacking the heart and lifeblood of what you have played before. But when you play them, you can’t help but feel as if something is off.

I loved the conversation about how to classify games like Horizon Zero Dawn and it made me realize as well that I have been thinking about the proper way to categorize such an experience.Īfter much thought, I think the proper way to categorize them would be to use a great film as an analogy: Large Triple A games like HZD are much like the alien from John Carpenters “The Thing.” These games take the form of games you have played and recognize and love they even look and feel much like them as well.
