CASUAAAAAAAAALS!

I think it's a brilliant idea that will move the industry forward.

Oh boy, it's that fast forward button we've been wanting all this time!

>skip the game part if its too hard

God damn it rock-star, make a difficulty level LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Canceling pre-order, thank you OP.

>Hamburger Helper's face when

>no action sequences
>calls it a movie

I'd call it a visual novel

>>93564371

Rockstar isn't making it you fool. Team Bondi is. They're an independent developer. Rockstar is just publishing.

OK

I don't mind them, so I won't skip them.

But you faggots aren't okay with just playing it.

You guys will just cry cry cry

Well then I'll watch it on youtube instead of buying it.

I got games to play.

Holy shit

It's just what that bitch from Bioware was wanting

HAMBURGER HELPERRRRRRRRRRR

>>93564555

They probably told them "NO DIFFICULTY LEVEL GUISE" since they're uniform fagots.

SKip action confirmed for all future games thanks to LA Noire and hamburger helper

>>93564584
I'm pretty sure you got mixed up there, you can skip the game itself, not cutscenes. =D

Dude, it's like the Super Guide in recent Nintendo games.

They can make the game as hard as they want now, and no one will complain, because you can just skip it

I don't see the problem here.

I know this might sound retarded to you, but some people don't like playing video games because unlike movies or books, they can become stuck at some point. Giving people the ability to skip over parts of a game is a great idea, imo.

This isn't for me, btw. I'll force myself through a game, even if it pisses me off to the point of breaking a damn controller or two. I doubt L.A. Noire will be the game to cause something like that, though, as it doesn't seem like a game that was made to be "difficult".

I liked Heavy Rain, so I'll be getting this. Besides, shooting makes up such a small part, the entire game is built around Detective work. It's like complaining if they took puzzles out of Arkham Asylum, who gives a shit?

What did she say?

Its official, the casuals won.

>>93564926
If you are stuck you set the game to easy if that doesn't help you read/watch a walkthrough on that part no need for skipping. What is the point in buying a 60£ game when you can watch a movie for alot less

It's really the story that's important anyway. Who wants to get bogged down in boring stuff inbetween?

>>93565139

She said that the part he liked less about videogames was the action and that she wanted a button to skip it.

Developers have been trying to figure out a solution for this problem for years.

Sometime in the mid 2000s, someone did some online datamining and figured out that people only beat like 1/3rd of the games they buy. So, developers have been taking that as a sign that games are too hard, for some reason.

What the fuck?

>>93565139
The most hated thing for her in video games is playing them

It's official. Casuals win. Fatality and some such.

>Players who find themselves struggling to get past a section of the game more than two or three times will be prompted with a choice to skip through the action and pick back up where the narrative left off.
>struggling to get past a section of the game more than two or three times

if you suck really bad at the game, you get to skip them. L.A Noire better be fucking hard, even harder than Ninja Gaiden and Vanquish if it has this feature

This shit is nothing.

The latest released Alone In The Dark allowed you to literally skip through the entire game chapter by chapter.

I'm not kidding.

to be fair....

for xbox, shenmue II cd came with a bonus cd of Shenmue I being completed perfectly. You just sit and watch the game being won. I sat there and watched it and enjoyed it... i didn't play at all.

So this mite b cool

>>93565771
The game was still shit, though. Very shit. So horribly shit I never finished, despite having played every single AITD before.

>mfw more than 90% of the comments on that page are saying it's a reasonable idea

gaming is officially dead

>Hear that it's just GTA4: 1950s edition
>Watch leaked gameplay
>It's Red Dead Redemption: 1950s edition

shutupandtakemymoney.tiff

>>93565162
I'm going to go with thats good.

(Just to watch /v/ catch on fire, hell you probably read only the top line and not this sentence)

Sounds cool to me; I'm intrigued by the detective work in the game but maybe I don't feel like having a shootout/car chase to get it. Fags who don't like this have never played any real cerebral adventure games and are therefore casuals.

>>93565960
because you pirated instead of bought. now they only make games for casuals, like me.

still day one buy, me and my roomates are all splitting the cost of it, it'll probably cost the same as a theatre ticket.

>>93565916

None of us are actually going to use the feature, so I don't see how it affects us at all.

But...Rockstar...You promised!...

You guys are such drama queens

I liked Heavy Rain, so I'll be getting this. Besides, shooting makes up such a small part, the entire game is built around Detective work. It's like complaining if they took puzzles out of Arkham Asylum, who gives a shit?

>The casuals win
>Games are stagnating
This was never much of a game anyways. It was more of an experiment seeing if you could have a moderately interactive compelling story.

So, you guys who were previously interested and are now raging...why can you not just play the game like you would anyway?

>>93565795

It wasn't really the game being beaten, just all the story sequences.

And that was because Shenmue 1 didn't exist on xbox and the creators were under the impression that they had created god tier storytelling and wantd to make sure everyone knew what had happened up til that point without just using a crappy plot synopsis in the manual.

>>93565219
Maybe they like the interactivity mixed with story? Maybe they get so into the story that they no longer want to play the game and just see what happens next?
>"Then they could watch the rest of the game on YouTube."
Too much work for them. Plus they want to feel like they beat the game, even though they really didn't.

I don't have a problem with this, btw. Every time that pig popped up in DKCR asking me if I wanted to skip the level, I'd just yell at my screen and continue on. Fuck that fucking pig, I'll beat that level you dastardly cunt.

>implying MGS4's custscenes doesn't have any action sequences

No one is not stopping me from enjoying a good gmaing experience.

>>93566174
Sounds like you would rather have a visual novel instead of an actual,you know, video game.

So fucking what? If the game forced you to skip it, I'd join you in being pissed, but why complain about the option existing? Not everyone plays games "for the challenge", and even if they did, this option will let devs make their games harder without turning off less-experienced players! Everyone wins here.

Consider the problem if it were reversed: For years, people playing games with long cutscenes either couldn't pause them, which they hated, or couldn't skip them, which they hated. Games finally started giving you the choice, where none had previously existed. Did you guys get bitchy about that, too?

>>93566241

BUT APPEALING TO AN AUDIENCE THAT ISN'T MINE, EVEN IF THEY'RE ALREADY APPEALING TO MY AUDIENCE, IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAD

pretty fucking retarded. video games are meant for playing, not watching. the less playtime there is, the less interest i have to "PLAY" it....

they should just get into the movie business if they can't make video games anymore.

U MAD?

>>93566241
Though I question the addition of this feature, I'm just gonna play the game like I normally would.

>>93566297

I liked the puzzles...

Allright, that's it, fuck this shit, I'm going to find another hobby to rot my brain in it.

Maybe automodelism or weed, man, those planes on scale must look so fucking awesome while on weed.

I don't understand why they didn't just make it a point and click or something.

>>93566269

What did they promise?

>>93566569

But you CAN play, that's the thing.

Jesus Christ.

why the fuck would anyone pay 60 bucks for a movie?

>>93566623

If you quit video games just because of an OPTION, then you don't deserve video games.

>>93566833
watching cutscenes is not playing, retard.

>>93567013
Just stop.

>Rockstar attempts to bring meaningful intricate plot back to video games
>option to skip action sequences to continue story/option to take control of movie during action sequences
>not called genre breaking and glorious by hardcore gamers
>called casual

Really /v/?

As long as you can still do the detective work, like finding evidence and interrogating people, I don't see the problem

>my face when people think it was DEVELOPED by Rockstar

>>93566844
that's the thing. they reduce the amount of gameplay to nothing and sell you a shitty movie for sixty bucks, and the retards are eating it up. rockstar is genius.

>>93566903
Yeah right, because having to endure all these bullshit casual trends makes me such a gamer, right?

Fuck off.

>implying not pressing a button to skip a part of a game is an endurance

You fucks act like them giving you the option to skip something is the same as them removing it entirely.

>>93567052
>called casual
well, no shit it's called casual. it's the ultimate streamlining of video games -- video games without playing. everything is completely automated and spoonfed to the retards.

No, they just made the gunplay, which obviously wasn't the main thing about the game, optional.

itt poorfag60 owners got mad because game was designed for PS3 not 360

peace im off to bed

i made like 200$ reselling MK character DLC codes this past weekend, i just landed a job for tomarrow night that pays 130$ a night where i can basically sit in a chair and play DS games all night long,

feelsgoodman.jpg

i could buy a 360, but i won't. because i prefer the superior console. I prefer the ps3.
