So sad. And that's what the Game Awards is, really. Oscars lite for videogames. We see all the same embarrasments, to a lesser degree perhaps, but the patterns are there.

I'll say, the Oscar's voting is at least transparent. Something that can't be said about the Game Awards

tl;dr TGA's jury is private, you can only see the outlets. Many outlets don't have dedicated video game editors and many are not only owned by the same company but a lot of the people who would presumably be voters on the jury (the people who cover the games regardless if they're dedicated or not) work for multiple outlets. Like at least with the Oscars, it's published so you know who exactly is voting and how it works and the jurors are rotated each time so, props for that.

Just something i saved that could give an insight

Nope. Never, not really.

CQ has close to 0 bullshit (sadly not 0 because Kitsune exists), and the game gives you alot of RNG mitigation tools - more than any other game.

I'm not talking about if the game is fair on a balance level, but on a fundamental level. Think about how in a game of tic tac toe, the majority of games will always end in a draw because once two players understand how the game works the only way you could lose is if you overlooked something, it's fair but not always fun. In Fire Emblem your strategies don't and in fact shouldn't be guaranteed 100% success because if they were that would be boring. 

I don't think Fire Emblem is wrong for having RNG, I think that's why the games are fun, because that's how it keeps you on your toes. The reason why Conquest is stressful is because you can't predict everything by knowing enough about the game and that unpredictability in large part comes from RNG, and that's good, that's how all games work.

5 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

And why is it exhausting? Because it's difficult & challenging

I never said it wasn't. Just that some people only find exhaustion in that kind of challenge without much enjoyment even if they can manage it fine.

5 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

Can the player still act after it happens and avoid it with smart decisions?

Look no further then Conquest ch.10, it comes with the mid map twist that completely changes the map, but is never unfair.

Mhm, that's what I said earlier. The strategy is about planning effective fail saves and adapting to unexpected occurrences, how well you react to them is up to you but when and how they happen is RNG, which is the idea.

And while it's true that chapter 10 has it's twist, since it's not RNG you can learn or remember when exactly it happens, making it less of a twist and more of a schedule that you can plan with in mind, something that you mentioned as well. But even this schedule still has the uncertainty whether or not your planned strategy has the RNG on your side. Even one thing not going the way you hoped it would might require you to change strategies which is what makes it interesting.

And just in case it needs to be said, I don't think Conquest is a bad game at all but compared to other Fire Emblem games it's just not my thing. I don't disagree with it's gameplay philosophy, I just disagree that said philosophy is the end all be all of Fire Emblem.

OK so like, in this topic you know I'm more inclined to be on your side, but I'm still hurting from that one time I had a perfect flawless strategy, and then Felicia missed a 99% and it irremediably led to Beruka's death...

That's an example of RNG having significant effects no matter how sure you were that it wouldn't happen. And I'm stressing that I think that's okay, I'm not saying Conquest is unfair or bad as that is far from my point.

Yet limits and challenges should still be set by the devs or the game will become total snoozefest - like many games out there.

5 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

That's what difficulty options are for. Those who want things open can play on easy or whatever, hardest challenge should ask of the best the player can offer without gimping themselves.

Any game that asks of the play to limit themselves to have fun is a badly designed game. And how to design something is not my job, but the dev's

On some level I agree with you. Any game should have it's own limits and challenges, but where to draw those lines is always going to be tricky since not everyone agrees on a singular concept of difficulty or fun.

But it's hard to say that it is objectively badly designed when they allow players to play as they wish, since millions of Fire Emblem players build entire communities around challenge runs or story-gameplay integration. People have fun with it, not in spite of the game but often in collaboration with it. It need not be your cup of tea.

All of this to say, if you think a game is too easy, there's a significant difference between believing that it is because of a fundamental flaw with the game and so the game is bad because of it, and accepting that it may simply be because it is not your thing.

I get what Guardian is going for, but there ain't much guarding here. Gameplay good. Read a fucking book for story.

There's a narrative Fire Emblem has that can't be achieved through traditional story-telling media like books or films. What I've always appreciated about Fire Emblem is that because each of your units are named soldiers with potential backstories and motivations many people end up connecting and forming little narratives around the characters that they like, even if they have no plot relevance. It's a dramatic change for war games that have often always given you nameless soldiers that are killed and replaced without a second thought.

And for that reason I would argue that gameplay and story aren't mutually exclusive, they have always been there to serve each other in games and especially Fire Emblem. If FE had gone purely the gameplay route from the beginning who knows if it would be as popular or even if would be still alive as it is now. I like the story and gameplay of Fire Emblem both on their own and in how they interact with each other, which is something I would never get from reading a book.

If you believe that they are entirely separate and prefer gameplay over story that's okay, but to believe that and go onto say that it doesn't make sense to focus on story and people shouldn't play Fire Emblem for the story even though half the fanbase does just that... well, it's a bit gatekeepy don't you think?

Now that is a claim that is just plain wrong.

I had high hopes for Conquest. For a time I was in disbelief how the company behind Advance Wars could produce such a non-game like Awakening. But you know what came out between Awakening and Fates? Code Name S.T.E.A.M. A proper strategy game with all kinds of fun systems and concepts. Even Lucina is fun to use in that game. Not Robin, though. Neither is Marth, but the fact that you can put Marth in a tank and have him blow shit up is just inherently awesome.
Anyway, that game showed that the expertise to make a good game was very much still in the company. There was no reason Fates could not have been fun. 

Sorry, but my enjoyment with the game were very much the result of it's own merits or lack thereoff. I am not paying good money for a game just to shit on it. As I said, I feel like the joke is very much on me there.
Which is why you don't see me talk much about Three Houses or Engage, because by then I learned my lesson and neither wasted money nor time on them.
But I am not above taking potshots at Colgate-chan or whatever.

Well... I did it. I watched it. It wasn't... as bad as I thought it'd be. But then again, in VN format it's much... simpler than how the Anime portrayed it, and I already had to go through that one so... I guess it softened the blow. Still... damn...

...

Welp, only one thing left to do...

Okay, but seriously, I must say. There is one detail I thought curious...

Spoiler

In the anime, when Tomoya has his vision, if I recall he lets Nagisa pass by while saying nothing, as he's set in the notion of wishing he had never met her. But here in the VN, he does calls out to her, like in the second time the vision happens later on in the Anime. Indeed, it's that scene happening rather than the anime's first one. Yet, Tomoya still got his five-year long breakdown, so... I got nothing. I suppose I'll have to keep going and see for myself then.

Turns out teddy bears are the real cause of America's decline. When the teddy bear was invented in 1903 and quickly became popular, some people complained. They wrote that the great devotion with which girls would nurture the ursine plushes, would take away from them their desire to care for human infants (which playing with normal human-looking dolls would encourage), thus dooming America to a declining birth rate.

Cultural outrage at utter nonsense, not just a modern thing.😃 -And I had read some months ago of how the coal-fired stove was derided initially, with the cultural critics of the day saying to the effect "family values simply cannot endure without a wood-burning stove".

I suppose that's true. Movies have music-less moments more often than video games do. Still, there's a reason why the term "interactive movies" exists to describe video games, for better or worse.

I'm not an expert on each game but generally I think a good way of deciding which game to play is by thinking what lens of historiography you'd be most interested in playing.

CK is about playing as a medieval dynasty, focusing on the family members or friends of the family members within that dynasty.

EU4 is about playing as a state, dynasties turning into federalized states and their rise as Empires.

Victoria 3 is about playing as a nation. Not just the state, government, or royal family but the people of the nation, the spirit of the nation so to speak, and how it's history is shaped not by individuals but by material conditions and demographics.

HOI4 is specifically about WWII and similarly also has you play as the nation but with much more focus on the state and warfare.

I don't anything about the others but this is the general gist of the ones I have played, though some far more than others.

If the story focus comes at the expanse of gameplay, then it's hard to argue for favour of stories 
No matter how good a story is, if the gameplay is boring the story can't save it. Many games with supposed good stories i dropped or put on hold thanks to *yawn* gameplay   

Quote

  And for that reason I would argue that gameplay and story aren't mutually exclusive, they have always been there to serve each other in games and especially  

Hard disagree. If anything, the way FE stories are structured (not to mention how mediocre/bad all of them are), makes the gameplay pay for it 90% of the time. Map challenges are much better at creating atmosphere and narrative then whatever is written. 

Let's take a look at 2 games on the opposite end of the spectrum:

Echoes - the game at the beginning keeps praising whatever Alm did, however gameplay wise he didn't do anything praiseworthy thanks to the gameplay being a snoozefest. If anything, the gameplay and narrative work against each other, weakening both of them. 

Engage - early as ch. 4, the game makes you hurry up and tries to throw twists at you, creating an exciting early game challenge that actually makes you feel like you are fighting for something while learning the game at the same time. The challenge creates the atmosphere and narrative, and not whatever the story wanted to tell. 

I can even point out a few other examples: 

FE4 - A game whose gameplay suffers massively for the sake of narrative and gameplay story integration. And at the end the story is nothing to write home about after the midgame twist anyway. 

Fates - lates take a look at the hoshido invasion chapters. The writing is trash, the reason for invading should make whoever wrote this get fired - yet, thanks to the difficulty and the challenge, the atmosphere created makes it really feel like the player controlled army is invading a country that's giving it's all to defend itself.  Trash story, but the challenge itself creates something amazing. 

Challenges, gamplay, fun, atmosphere and difficulty should make the "stories" in games, and not supbar writing at the cost of gameplay. 

And the same applies outside FE as well and i could even point even out a few examples.

...The loading times. They're SO MUCH BETTER. It's insane. Somniel loads in 10 seconds. It truly never was the game's fault. It was all fucking Yuzu. Yuzu ruined the game for me on my second run.

I'm actually so upset right now. After all the championing I did against the loading times. Wow.
