Gungrave G.O.R.E. introduces Cheni Quartz Angel
Iggymob has introduced Gungrave G.O.R.E character Cheni Quartz Angel, or Quartz for short.
I can only speak for myself on this one, but I already knew a few months of prior to posting on the old version of the site. The article is from June 2019. I didn't post all this stuff until September. Understandable. I'm still keeping a lookout for any further updates. I just hope it doesn't get delayed again.
I tend to try and avoid details of games once I've concluded that I'm probably going to play them. Though I've started wondering if that's a mistake and I'd finish more of them if I got more into the hype.
Nothing wrong with that. I won't look at every single information and try to inject it like a junkie, but I don't mind keeping myself surprised. And even then, I prefer knowing just a small update every now and then. This game would have been out in 2020 or 2021 already, if it had not been for COVID. It's telling something when I'm still more excited for this game, then most of the "next gen" games being announced or release so far.
Hhm? I thought that was a given? I would find it weird to feature her so heavily in the teaser and not have her be a playable character.
That's a problem with teaser trailers or trailers that are half CG trailer (her portion is all CG) and have gameplay trailer, you don't know what to expect. There are quite a few games where an awesome character is featured in a CG trailer, they got this cool design and concept, but they're not playable a character. Not everything will be an obvious "given". This is always been a problem with the gaming industry. Especially the moving towards 3D.

Eh. For a period of time the genre was indeed dead and it certainly doesnt hold the same position it used to. Feels kind of like saying 3D platformers weren't dead for a long time because Mario still existed. I would however say that our terminology for this phenomenon is poor, "dead" is a term that's meant to be much more complete and final than it is when used in this context.Here's another crazy hot take from Yahtzee. I don't know too much about the adventure genre, but I still think there's good ones out there. Just either have to check the Indy circle, or rely on one of the few AAA games that still bother with them. Sturgeon's law always apply no matter the time or decade.
Adventure Games Never Died, They Just Stopped Being Good
Extra Punctuation: Yahtzee describes the failings of the adventure game genre following the announcement of Return to Monkey Island.
Like Yahtzee had said though, even at that time they didn't die, and just fell into a niche. With the popularity of the Indie circle rising and Xbox live arcade, more of these adventure type games were coming out. Then you have Telltale (for a good while) and the people who made Until Dawn, and everything's back in full swing like nothing happened. Maybe not 100% full swing, but no longer to be considered "dead".
To be fair 3D platformers were still around, they were just going at slower pace. Or doing different things in addition of the collect-a-thon formula. I do admit that during the Wii era, there were more 2D or 2.5D platformers coming back, so that more than made up for it. So I kind of get your point, but that proves that they weren't completely dead as certain people claimed or wanted to believe. By the mid 2010s, 3D platformers not named Mario we're definitely taking center stage again or getting more recognition.
Agreed. But like I said before, it seems like more people want to use that term just to fit their narrative and narrow minded view, or use it on games or genres they don't like or hate, and look down upon. I get it: you don't like the game series or genre, but don't be a douchebag about it and piss on everybody else's parade. There are plenty of genres I dislike or despise, but I don't go out of my way to be dicks to people that enjoy them. As much as I been harsh on the cover shooter genre, my main problem was that it stuck around and did so little, yet there so many people trying to defend the crappy gameplay elements of the genre. Most cover shooters didn't do anything different, and were made by the numbers, and hoping to make as much money as possible. That was the scenario 98% of the time. I was also mad at the hypocrisy where people claimed that brawlers are too repetitive, yet they were just as many cover shooters, first or third person, that were just as repetitive or even worse. Anything can become too repetitive if you're literally doing the same thing over and over, don't have a unique and interesting gimmick, or play everything exactly straight. You can have a first-person shooter that's too repetitive. You can have a third person shooter that's too repetitive. You have a puzzle game that's too repetitive. You can have a platformer that's too repetitive, and etc. They are happy to pick and choose one thing, but all of a sudden have a problem and claim that "No, it's completely different! Or is not as bad as that thing!". Trying to make all these arbitrary standards that don't mean anything. Nothing more than ego boosting and meaningless grandstanding.
Adventure games are now firmly a Indie thing as opposed to a AAA thing(which I guess you could have maybe called them during the golden age of Sierra and LA but AAA wasn't really a thing during the 1990's) and that's probably the way it was inevitably going to head with advancements in tech and the way Adventure games work.
Don’t you see? If your games aren’t making ALLLLL the monies then they’re dead. DEAD I say!!!
He clearly needs help and has an addiction problem. Ain't no way trading in games are worth for some stupid skin. He needs an intervention, pronto! If you can, you might want to reach out to his family.
I doubt he's gone as far as to be addicted, more than likely its a coping mechanism while he goes through med school. Definitely not a healthy coping mechanism, but not as bad as addiction. Dude is from a rich ass family, so he's not exactly endangering his financial status either.
