I had one yesterday. COINCIDENCE??!
If we're talking boss fights in general, Iudex Gundyr from Untended Graves in DS3. Completely optional, but hands down one of the best boss fights I have ever had. Even getting hit and knocked down was cool because he'd immediate go after you and you would feel like the underdog hero rolling away from the supervillain's next attack. I actually felt sad when I finished it, it was a pretty zen flow experience.
EDIT: As for end bosses, I think Thief 2's Sabotage at Soulforge was a masterpiece and the ending is great.

I remember watching this, definitely one of the more important topics to debate. Not strictly talking as a level designer either, I think in general everyone's tools should focus on letting you stay in the zone as much as possible.

jodorowsky's dune???
Fair enough, I guess that's different from the first. However I find it incredibly hard to believe that each encounter has been balanced both with and without powers. Either way that point may as well be moot since we've seemingly established that I'm no longer in the target demographic.

I don't know if it has any inpact on the story and environment, but I sure hope so.
yeah except encounters/solutions are designed with the powers in mind. Besides that, "don't use it" is a terrible excuse since the experience is ruined by the time your suspension of disbelief is lifted as you realize you can basically no clip levels to the finish line. Certainly not something that screams 60 bucks to me.

Same with music...films...tv...
Of course it's to do with the money, but that doesn't really excuse anything. Dark Souls made a bunch of money, the new call of duty is essentially an old deathmatch multiplayer game among other things. There is a slight evolution happening, and imo games like Dishonored should be there at the frontlines capitalizing on it. It isn't. Then come the comparisons by reviewers that are basically lying about what the game is about. What really bugs me is that there is a great game underneath everything, but it just feels over designed. At a certain point they should just have started culling abilities and features instead of adding them. The blink and the shared fate abilities instantly come to mind as the worst of the bunch. Completely unnecessary and detrimental to the experience.
They sound good! IMO do a bit more research and if you don't like what you find you can always go back to one of these.
IMO none of the names you picked really stand out as something that is for a furniture company. I think Atlas came the closest.
Perhaps you want to look into stuff carrying some more meaning. For instance like Kintsugi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi (not saying that Kintsugi would be appropriate for a furniture company, but the word does carry a strong definition with it - perhaps you could find a word that defines your work/company/brand?).

Watched the first minute and got turned off so badly when they started talking about the abilities. It already feels like the player is going to be the living embodiment of a power fantasy instead of focusing on what seems to be an otherwise well constructed immersive sim experience. Maybe I'm just not in the target demographic anymore.
Saw another review calling it a "worthy sequel to Thief". I don't think they remember what Thief was all about:
Some good points being made in this thread. I agree 100% with @FrieChamp - let's see how it pans out. @D3ads, pretty solid analysis, I came to many of the same conclusions. I definitely think if HRC had been elected and had opted for the NFZ we'd be closer to a nuclear war than ever. Even if a nuclear escalation wasn't in the cards, the destabilization of the area would cause Europe to be under much greater pressure than what we already have today.
There are of course (many) negatives to his presidency, but overall I just hope he has the mind to put his business above his personal beliefs. In which case everything is probably not going to be as bad as we imagine.
Bernie should have fought after the DNC revealed how crooked they were and continued as a candidate
yeah looking forward to it, but at the same time I know it's never going to be as good as soma...

Because it doesn't have mass appeal and doesn't placate people. It forces people to ask questions about technology and everyday things. It's not positive and might even have depressive undertones with the choice of themes. People want to relax when they watch series, this hits too close to home to be a relaxing show.
just give me mario maker on this thing and I'll be set
I liked the way they said the mid game turns are now much more interesting in an interview, but I really hope the addressed the thing where during late game everybody is the same without much differentiation. I would like to have seen unique units and structures stay the same through upgrades and retain their bonuses, if nothing else to add variety at the end. Maybe we'll see that with the hidden agendas and stuff. I'm still looking forward to it, but CIV has always been like a flawed diamond to me.
Hell yeah man, I can imagine that being a load off your shoulders!
While we're at it can we decide which match 3 game came first?!
