I don't remember any Sierra game having save slots. You saved to floppy disks or the hard drive? I never once reached any kind of save limit and I had about 50 or so in Quest for Glory games and Space Quest.
Like it is one thing to think Vow's opinions are super weird
But this is just rude and mean as all heck
Sorry, where's the line where it goes from "haha UV's opinions are weird and nobody thinks like that" and that is okay somehow, and crosses over to unacceptable?
I mean, that line doesn't really exist for me personally, I've definitely been feeling like any kind of "Vow has weird opinions haha" bit is mean-spirited

masterofmetroidHave you ever looked at a worldand seen it as a kind of challenge?Registered Userregular
Eh, the on-foot stuff looks like it doesn't play as great as the rest of the game but as a larger part of the "dumb thing we are doing" aesthetic it works fine
I mean I tease a lot of friends about things and I rather expect they'll do the same back to me, so if I give Vow a hard time about his opinions once in a while, it's purely meant as friendly ribbing. That's also why I try not to do it too often these days, because even light-hearted ribbing turns into bullying if you do it all the time. That sort of teasing is also a very contextual thing, where the tone of the conversation can add weight to the statement.
I also respect a lot of his weird opinions because, when pressed, he can usually back them up with pretty good explanations. Also, on more than one occasion, I've been the one with an unpopular opinion and he's been the only person to share it. I'd wager most of you have been in that same boat from time to time.

It looks about as funny as Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, so there's also that
I feel like everyone would have very fond memories of Operation Raccoon City & Umbrella Corps and be constantly asking for a new one if they had come out on the PS2 in 2002 and 2003
I try not to give folks shit when their opinions differ from mine
That goes double for Vow, who's said in the past they take it in easy stride—but even then, getting pigeonholed a certain way by one of your social groups can really, really wear on you over time

There was some kind of error you'd get if you tried to save over the ~15 game limit. I'm not sure if this was an amiga specific thing or not. I remember Sierra/Dynamix's Betrayal At Krondor having a similar issue but you could change the save directory to work around it.
Supermassive Games commented that while they are working on an unrevealed project, it is not Until Dawn 2.
Man
I am still interested in whatever they're doing but I reeeeally want Until Dawn 2
I think I almost prefer for studios to do something between franchise titles. A little time away from a series and experience with something else can do good things for keeping things fresh.

Yeah I never had that problem on the early Apple II sierra games.

it could still be a game in that vein
Yeah that is why I am still interested
But I specifically would like Until Dawn 2 because it turns out making them David Cage style experiences is the perfect way to get me to actually enjoy slasher type horror things

really I wouldn't mind them doing the same treatment with a bunch of other genres too
like a spaghetti western where you could be sheriff, the priest, the doctor, the outlaw, the miner - and then influence who's still around for the climactic shootout at the end

What about a Western where you come into town, and you meet different people and can talk to them, but you can also just straight up pull your gun and shoot them. And depending on how you interact with those people, you'll meet different people throughout the course of the game.
Campy horror was the perfect genre for that game because it made for excellent party play. I can't think of many other genres that would be as true for.

This is totally fair and a good stance to have
but also I really want Until Dawn 2
Oh I 100% understand. That's my logical position, and I often defy it myself because the heart wants what it wants.
I'd like Until Dawn 2 to be some kind of Tarantino-like setup where a bunch of characters gather into a pressure cooker and are eventually gonna kill each other

I would like that but not for Until Dawn
That franchise should be fun, hammy horror movie stuff.

My friends and I each played as one character and we would pass the controller around on our play through.
Was SUCH a great way to play that game. Really good group experience as each individual was responsible for their own characters actions and fate.

well it's still horror-ish
but doing an Aliens-style sci-fi game where you can pick survivors and crew members would be pretty rad
It is trash and it belongs in the trash, and then you should set that trash on fire so that it can fulfill its purpose by becoming a trash garbage fire
Do not spend any amount of money on it
It is an extremely poor Trials game
It is a extremely poor Blood Dragon property, and this is coming from someone who didn't like Far Cry: Blood Dragon but can at least "get" why other people did
Fuck it because it is actively damaging to both of its properties in a way that may actually be irreversible - a Trials game was at one point something I'd buy sight unseen, which I did for Fusion (which was MOSTLY fine but the trick system sucked) and then this (which is actively damaging to my soul). I don't know if there's much they can do to salvage Trials at this point other than "stop trying to reinvent the wheel and keep it simple" because Evolution was a damn near perfect video game
Same goes for Blood Dragon, because while I think the execution has been botched both times, I think the idea of the branding is kinda cool
I was so happy to hear Jeff tear it apart on this week's Bombcast, because yeah, while putting out games during a conference can be a cool move for highly anticipated stuff, here it just let Ubisoft crap a game that would have reviewed incredibly poorly out the door while all the people that would have torn it down for a living were sitting there watching people onstage guide birds around in virtual reality

Like
One is just acknowledging dude has unusual tastes
The other is being super condescending and insulting
I marked the line for you.
I think they're pretty much the same actually
One is more directly rude maybe but as a forum meme it was never really anything but condescending
Okay yeah, I can see how it's a bit too far.
I thought I was just flipping the usual "UV's opinion is one no one else holds" on its head.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Like I think the guy does have weird as heck tastes but that doesn't mean they should be written off immediately
You are a good dude Vow, even if you like weird stuff
When the on-foot stuff I actually went "OH NO" out loud
This looks terrible
I also respect a lot of his weird opinions because, when pressed, he can usually back them up with pretty good explanations. Also, on more than one occasion, I've been the one with an unpopular opinion and he's been the only person to share it. I'd wager most of you have been in that same boat from time to time.
So, uh Vow for Forumer Council, I guess?
It looks about as funny as Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, so there's also that
Who wants to see some of the other Resident Evil game that just came out
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while
I'm gonna try to stick to expressing incredulity/surprise at UV's opinions without being condescending about it from now on.
Can you hold me to that?
