    One thing I should mention about my friendly neighborhood's inventory system: the game won't let you discard any keys until you've completely exhausted their usefulness, by that I mean unlocked everything you can unlock with them. So when you click on a key item of any kind and see the 'discard' option pop up, that means you're safe to chuck it and free up some inventory space.

      @karmicrespite5737 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      You can also tell in this video that 'fully used' items will have a checkmark on them. This counts for most key items (like keys obviously) as once you use the key to open all types, you'll see the circle with a checkmark on the item showing that it's fully used up. I think you only use the boltcutters like twice, if that, so knowing you can toss such a large item without issues helps a lot. Bit faster to look for the mark than individually checking.

      That's actually rather brilliant and a feature I wish had been standard in Resident Evil games, and other similar type games, with grid based item sorting mechanics lol.
      I couldn't tell you how many times I've stressed in a safe room about whether or not I'll need to use a key or key item before the next safe room or if I can just leave it and use the space for more ammo/heals. 😄

      Thats a clever anti-softlock mechanic and a great way to allow players to free up inventory without fear of missing items. Alot of adventure games needed that type of mechanic.

      It's probably the best way to go about that kind of thing too, redirect focus to lesser known titles in order to spend one's time in better ways and give the fledglings a better chance at getting their name out there.
      In terms of hack-and-slash games, there was last year's Soulstice and there is an upcoming one by name of Genokids. Both 3D rather than 2D though.

Nobody ever questions why there are giant birds, fuzzy monsters, or talking frogs walking around. They just are.

    One of the few things i despised about dark revival was how it gaslit the community, you see joey drew studios were compared to joey drew himself, being egotisitcal and awful to their employees, so in the dark revival they turned joey into a loving sympathic boss who only wanted to do whats best and got lost in the game, aka trying to turn joey drew into a good person so any comparsion of the real life joey drew studios and the ficitonal joey drew was much more favorable.

      In an ironic twist of fate, the studio did actually get caught in a series of controversies involving the mismanagement and mistreatment of its employees. The developers of BATIM would face criticism from former employees who were the victims of a layoff, who stated that they tended to ignore the concerns of more experienced workers, not being upfront about the unclear future of the company, and long periods of time where no work was done due to the board being difficult to contact.

    Honestly just by seeing snippets of gameplay, My Friendly Neighborhood seems to be what Dark Revival wishes it could be. Where Dark Revival pretty much stole from Bioshock, Friendly Neighborhood drew inspiration while adding some Muppets charm as a bonus. Where Dark Revival wastes time with pointless stealth, mind numbing puzzles and Hello Neighbor backtracking, Friendly Neighborhood has you think through encounters and respects the player's time and intelligence. Where Dark Revival contrives exposition and plot points to either give an illusion of a story or exist as theory fodder, Friendly Neighborhood is organic with its storytelling and doesn't force the extra world building down your throat.

    I do appreciate you talking about Bendy, even if you hated it. It’s good to hear multiple views on media, especially when those views are actually well thought out and explained.
    I mostly enjoy the visuals in character design and environments (it’s strongest suit in my opinion) and glad this game was actually a complete package opposed to chapters, which helped the story be more coherent and feel fully thought out opposed to original with story threads dropped in the end due to story was made as the chapters were.
    But I can agree with many of your criticisms of the game. I wish the game was being handled by better people sadly.
    Also so glad hearing more praise for Amanda and Neighborhood as I’m excited for Amanda’s second enstallment and look forward to the neighborhood dev’s next project

      I think the Bendy franchise is a fantastic example of how great art style and presentation can sell a game but it can't carry it too hard where everything else is just... lacking.
      Don't get me wrong, there are very interesting and solid concepts, and looks really great but it just feels very empty. For a horror game it sure doesn't feel like there is much threat at all (I wish Bendy should've acted more like the Xenomorph from Alien Isolation, where he pursues you throughout the game), the lore doesn't compliment the game at all instead it's just plain confusing for the sake of it, characters aren't well-developed... In the end, I think the game as a whole is perfectly fine by itself (even for Mascot Horror standards) but it almost feels like it could have been something greater. It's a game that seriously benefits from a development team with proper vision and direction in my opinion.

    My Friendly Neighborhood is one of my favorite horror games because the puppets are just a natural part of the world and dont actually want you dead (until the end but shh). They are just people with deep trauma that have been abandoned by the people that wouldve helped them. They dont want to hurt you, most are just so excited to see a human and forget their own strength. Its really refreshing to have a story that involves normally inanimate things that are alive that isnt "they have dead people in them and they want to kill you out of revenge"

    I’m very glad that Amanda and My Friendly Neighborhood are well received. It really feels like devs are trying to take mascot horror somewhere great, rather then just abandoning the concept. FNAF worked for a reason, even if the execution was lacking. Let’s explore it, make it better, and create more amazing games. Let’s push the envelope and use mascot horror as a baseline for creativity and fun.

      Plus they didn't repeat the mistakes of the first game:
      *They released the game complete, not episodically. As a result, they had a plan for the story instead of writing it one chapter at a time.
      *The story is a lot more coherent, no plot holes and everything gets explained.
      *They kept quiet about the game's production after the first year, last big news we got before release was a new trailer a WEEK before it released.
      *Bugs and glitches are minimal, and none of them are game-breaking at all.
      *Improved combat, more emphasis on exploration, doesn't heavily rely on fetch quests.

    My Friendly Neighborhood is honestly one of my favorite horror games in recent memory, and probably the best mascot horror game for me. I like how it doesn't do some dark twist with the puppets, like "Oh they're dead kids stuffed in suits" or "Oh they're demons pretending to be friendly!", the puppets are just...puppets who went a bit loopy in isolation and are desperate for friendship from someone. Hell, I love how it takes the logic of the muppet series and has no one question why sentient felt people are a thing, just that they are.
    Gordon is a fun character who feels believable in the scenario (that and the game explaining WHY he can kick puppet ass like no one else), Ricky is a good antagonist (Not a villain, mind you, but an obstacle), and I appreciate that, by doing the events to pacify the unique enemies, you actually see Gordon's character development through, rather than it being out of place.
