    It's certainly disappointing, since Ion Fury was actually pretty neat. Thing is, Ion Fury was made by the folks at Voidpoint, while Phantom Fury was handled by Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms. But while Phantom Fury likely suffers from similar problems to the ones present in Graven, it's probably a fair bit better than Graven.

    Bizarre the whole "Find the turret's turn-off terminal long after trashing the turret" thing is a problem that crops up in Fallout, too. You'd think they'd just cut the terminal, or move it forward, but I guess nothing ever changes, franchise regardless.

    I think it's mainly to appease stealth players who like the idea of sneaking through a base and turning turrets against their enemies. It makes sense in that manner but it is still a very odd concept. If you were to put a terminal before the turret that say requires a password or hacking gate, players might look at it as something that NEEDS to be done even if they are not specced for it. It's hard to really to get down right, I think the closest would be the Deus Ex series but even then the usability of such placements were pretty limited.

    @@Fishfish458 I think Deus Ex could make a good run at it because it had big levels filled with relatively controlled paths - a lot of urban spaces, usually with you moving to a defined destination. So you can put reasonable expectations on where the player will be coming from and what elements they'll see in what order, at least, with some probability.

  • @geraldposter1496

    I always thought it mostly made sense from an in universe perspective. It sounds obvious to place the controls for the turret behind the turrets away from the people who'd want to get past said turret. Of course if it's all automated, then there's the problem of "how do we get back inside" if something goes wrong and now the guys who are supposed to be behind the turrets are now on the wrong side of them. So having a manual bypass would make sense, and could give a justification in game play for why it's out of the way. You don't want to put it somewhere obvious so any jack hole can find it.

    From a story sense it does make sense to put the controlpanel for the turrent behind the line the turrent defends, otherwise intruders could just turn off the turrent before it gets a chance to shoot The only time it makes sense is if ya use an alternative route, lockpicking into a controlroom or some other way of entry that doesn't invalidate the placement of the turret

    On the topic of "games with horrible names that turned out to be fun" that I found; Reverse Collapse Codename Bakery. Turn based tile game where you play a small squad of advanced soldiers deep heavily outgunned in enemy territory. The focus of the gameplay is on ambushes, funneling enemies into kill zones, and setting traps against a much larger force who will stomp you down in head on combat. Good story too, but it's done as a visual novel in-between levels

    @@MegaZeta This is a very "No, but yes" situation. Like, the PS1 and 2 had a bajillion games for example, and I love that about it. And that doesn't compare to AAA gaming.... That compares to having a sea of indie games, honestly. For two, it always depends on what games you're comparing anyway, and your own tastes. Like I replayed Rayman 2 and didn't like it as much as I used to. But I replayed Tomb Raider 1, and yeah, I WOULD play that over a LOT of AAA games, and that was AAA at the time. There are all sorts of classics that hold up. And as far as those bajillion PS1 games, that's like gambling on not high-visibility indie games, and it's really fun, and I would also play those more often than some AAA games. But not all of them. Yahtzee clearly has a more pessimistic view of some of the non-memorable games maybe, in this case PC games, and that's fine, it makes sense to feel that way. And as far as new devs retreading old games, a lot of the time they do a very good job and see the things that made it great. So no issue there. Like Corn Kidz 64 that released last year was so good.

    John Wayne Bobbitt (born 1967) and Lorena Bobbitt (née Gallo; born 15 May 1969) were an American former couple, married on June 18, 1989, whose relationship received international press coverage in 1993 when Lorena severed John's penis with a knife while he was asleep in bed; the penis was successfully surgically reattached. Lorena, an Ecuadorian immigrant, claimed that her husband John, a bar bouncer and former U.S. Marine, had raped and abused her for years. John was charged with rape later that year but was acquitted and, subsequently, starred in two pornographic films. The next year, Lorena was acquitted of assault by reason of insanity and went on to start a foundation for domestic abuse victims and their children. The couple divorced in 1995.

    Just a heads-up: Phantom Fury is not really a sequel to Ion Fury, that's just the marketing because the latter was fairly well received. Ion was developed by Voidpoint and is the prequel to the earlier Bombshell. Which in turn wasn't received well and was developed by Slipgate Ironworks who also made Phantom. There's a pattern here.

    I played the demo for Yellow Taxi several months ago and very much enjoyed it. Plan to pick it up eventually. However, I do feel that it doesn't entirely stick the landing on its stated premise of being a platformer without a jump. It does have a jump. It's just a multi-stage wind-up jump that is finnickier and harder to use than your usual jump.

    The review of Yellow Taxi made it sound very interesting and unique. A driving platformer that's not about racing? I went and checked the steam page and the trailer was delightful. Immediately bought it. Thanks Yahtz! I'm at an age where I've played so many games that mainstream titles don't pique my interest much anymore. I'm here for the weird indie stuff. So keep those coming!!

    Seriously, anybody who is interested in 3d platformers needs to check out Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom. It's probably my favorite movement in a 3d platformer since Super Mario Odyssey in 2017. There's this simplicity in mechanics, paired with these little hidden intricacies, and it's all tied together with just the right amount of randomness introduced from collision jank, and you have something that's just constantly compelling.

    I'm working on a game with a title that I personally think it's kind of generic. It's "the eldritch monarch". The title I would have prefered is "A Trap For Moths". However, as a completely unknown dev, there is an argument for more explicit titles. In my case, the final title says "lovecraftian horror, ok? you don't know me, never played anything I made, but it's lovecraftian horror!". It's kind of like "Amnesia: The dark descent". Super generic, right? but once they made a name for themselves they released "SOMA" and "A machine for pigs". Enticing and interesting titles.

    SiN certainly has enough of a cult following to warrant Nightdive making a full visual upgrade, despite already having released a sort of remaster in SiN:Gold. But what I'm getting from the reviews is that the appeal is not so much in the gameplay as in the setting. Which is fair enough, but something fans should probably be mindful of when trying to sell a modern gamer on it.
