Jimbot posted:The lack of ammo in Human Revolution was pretty dumb. Especially when you grab the ammo out of the assault rifle of the soldier you just took down to find there was only 1 bullet in it. It seems like certain weapons and their ammo are favored. You will never "go hungry" with the pistol, but even the Machine Pistol and Combat Rifle have large gaps between where you can get ammo. And good loving luck if you want to use the Sniper Rifle regularly. I bet there's more Typhoon ammo than Sniper Rifle ammo in the game.

sentrygun posted:I'm kind of bothered with being pushed towards crouching in so many games, mostly because I get tired of having to sacrifice speed for so many other factors. Playing through Fallout 3, I realized that I spent 99% of the game skulking through the wilderness at a snail's pace. This was only made worse when fairly early on I got the Chinese Recon Armor and then there's no excuse not to crouch everywhere. Even in Deus Ex it feels like you will get loving owned if you're not stealthing around, so why wouldn't you do it all the time? Gameplay-wise I'm annoyed that I spend hours skulking around like a loving ninja and then there's a cutscene and dude is just walking into the middle of a loving giant warehouse and gets ambushed by a boss. When did I ever play that way? And who would do that?

TaurusOxford posted:In other news, i'm playing through FFXIII for the first time. About eight hours in, and someone please tell me otherwise, cause Jesus Christ, God of War is more open ended than this game. Imagine the setting from the play, No Exit: a single room with three people in it, for all eternity. That situation is about a trillion times more open-ended than FFXIII.

Chairman Mao posted:Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta and Operation Anchorage got the whole "lovely DLC" thing right. Chinese Stealth Armor made Anchorage worth every cent they charged for it. I mean assuming you like invisibly crawling around the wasteland on all fours.

Policenaut posted:Looks like someone hasn't been to Blighttown yet, a.k.a. "Clear your day, this is going to kill you 50 times"-ville Hahahahaha, I just got there last night. I'm rolling a good sword you can get early on (not spoiling it) or a Divine Winged Spear +5 that I farmed like two hours for and one-shotting enemies... and then I get there and it's like, every enemy takes 4 hits. And some of them just don't give a gently caress and knock you right the gently caress off. Just when you think you've got a handle on poo poo... well, real Dark Souls starts now. I think the biggest difference between Dark and Demon Souls is that in Demon Souls, a lot of the good stuff is accessible early on if you know what you're doing. In Dark Souls, you still have to travel to find all kinds of dudes and there's a lot of sequential progression to get them, and even when you do everything costs a zillion loving souls. I think I have been able to afford only 3 or 4 spells so far. EDIT: And just as a kicker, farming the blobs that drop the green titanite shards for the Divine reinforcements doesn't give you any souls. What a bitch.

Policenaut posted:Yeah, I really appreciate it by the way. DX:HR is one of my favorite games this generation but I really couldn't bring myself to drop $15 on a DLC like that. For $15 you could buy some actual full-length PSN games. Or Undead Nightmare, or one of many DLCs for other great games that are not running you $5 an hour to play. And don't forget, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner, promising even more deals to use your $15 on. There's no compelling reason to pay that much unless you are DYING to play out what happens on that boat. I'm not going to buy it and I'm going to imagine that the dude was asleep the whole time. Problem solved.

Jon Irenicus posted:I really enjoy RPGs, and I've been looking at the Disgaea series for my next purchases. Would it be recommended starting at the first game and tracking a copy down (since my PS3 is backwards compatible) or can I jump straight into the current generation ones? I like tactical RPGs like this, but I could not get into Disgaea. I'd skip the first one for sure and jump to the others. Did they ever improve the tutorials and all that so they weren't totally worthless?

Parkingtigers posted:Also the goddamn grapple gun ... oh my god best weapon/toy in any game ever. Most beautiful sandbox world ever too. As someone who has spent a bit of time travelling around SE Asia, I can assure you they nailed the atmosphere and the look of the place. I started playing Saints Row 3, and I have to say I really miss the loving grapple gun. Sure it's also like an open world or whatever and you can do poo poo, but not having a purpose makes a lot of it seem pointless and having the ability to grapple around is something I really wish the game had. As for JC2s scenery, it's amazing. I've been to actual military basis that look just like the poo poo in the game, down to the watertowers and quonset huts and everything. They really nailed it. JC2 is like my favorite game.

Here is the most important tip for Just Cause 2 that is not obvious at all: If you max out the Revolver, you can shoot through the windshield of a helicopter with it. This means when you start getting swarmed, you can grapple the front, shoot the pilot once and he dies, and then get away and no more helicopter shooting at you. Sometimes it's better to take them over but later in the game it's usually not, and shooting the pilots just saves so much time.
