Epsilon Plus posted:So, how do people feel about Dynasty Warriors 8? I assume the core gameplay hasn't changed terribly much since the last one I played, which was probably 4 or 5 or something. It's not a crappy console port locked to some bizarre resolution/refresh rate, right? The port itself works fine aside from occasional controller issues. It's missing online coop and some graphical updates the PS4 version got but is otherwise a perfectly serviceable game.

I mean no more DLC is being created for them, they could easily make a complete pack for their fans that don't like using Origin. Except they won't, because to EA the tectonic slide into insolvency is like a sweet wine.

Spiderdrake posted:I kinda wonder if this sort of terribleness works across the board? Like do most people sit and watch football or baseball or movies in the theater even when they've just turned into runny dumps? If the baseball players just all decided to lie on the field and flop around like fishes for an hour would people just be like 'I NEED TO SEE THE END'? I feel like no, but I also feel like most people don't actually complete games according to statistics so I sort of wonder why sequels are such a big deal in the industry. If I had to guess, and surprise! I do, I don't work in the industry, those two competing statistics are probably both monstrously skewed in a number of ways. Especially in the case of games where people become emotionally invested in things, Say game 1 of a series sells alright, and gains a cult following, with people telling their friends "You need to play this poo poo!" constantly. So game 2 gets massively hyped, a bunch of new people enter the series due to friends and other influences. Some of these go back and play the first game when it's cheap. Some people drop out because they disagree with various authorial decisions. But the majority of people are probably going to stick it out to the end of this thing they've put (in terms of length of interest rather than time investment) a few years of their life into. I didn't mean to turn this bit into Dark Souls but here we are. That's not to say every single game series does that kind of thing to people. Far Cry is a crazy series that have basically no connection with each other except brand recognition, but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to learn 60-70% of people who played Far Cry 2 and 3 never finished them and just did outposts forever. There is of course always the other issue of how many companies track and report on game completion stats, so. Orv fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jul 20, 2014 |

It doesn't work in menus of any kind, but the dude parts of the game work fine. This holds true for all three ME games on PC.

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:Anyone have any recommendations for a good game that can be played in offline mode, preferrably with a ton of replay value? Going to be without internet for a while very soon and I need to prepare my free time now, If I can. If you have any sort of tolerance/love for turn based strategy and somehow haven't done so already, the Total War games can eat up days at a time. The older ones (pre-Empire) don't require Steam to be launched, but I'm not sure about the newer ones.

Zombie Samurai posted:You guys might want to take a minute to give Velvet Sundown a try. It's a free multiplayer game where you're a character on a yacht, trying to get information from other players who also have an agenda. Basically a social chat game, but this one converts your chat to voice. So this exchange gets a lot funnier when you hear it spoken: ETA to John Madden achieved at hitherto unthinkable speeds.

Protip was that if I was remembering a Mox it was in game. MtG: Battlegrounds is what got me into proper MtG, so in a sense as much as I love it it is the Worst Thing.

Such cool set pieces, but it's like, "God, time for another loving wave of enemies" every time you see a bunch of barrels and boxes to hide behind. Uncharted is one of the few series where I'm continually willing to put up with that because of how much I enjoy the adventures of Nathan "Murderboner" Drake. Doesn't make it any less tedious, mind.

Still, it has to be one of the most lopsided games in terms of quality I've ever played - those first few chapters are painful. 2 is a considerably better game in nearly every aspect, if you enjoyed the first one enough to pursue it.
