You can also target the humanoid NPCs and I want to see if you can kill them but I don't want to gently caress my game. Seconding that overleveled enemies thing though. Your dodge-counter R1 attack is good but not always viable. There's one quest where you have to kill a bunch of really strong level 30 dudes in 30 seconds without getting hit and it's just way too hard for me right now.

Mentioned earlier in thread but I should state again: The Nier games are good (or at least, have cool bits in them). The Drakengard games are bad and soul-crushing to play, but they also have some small amusing bits. To fully understand the story of Nier and Nier Automata, it helps to know the story of Drakengard 1 and 3 (2 is totally ignorable). This does not mean you should actually play the Drakengard games, because as already stated, they're incredibly lovely to play. Just read The Dark Id's LPs of them, they're well done, they link to FMVs when they happen, and they show off all the ridiculous 'weapon stories' you get from grinding. His LP of Nier is good too but Nier is actually kind of fun to play and has good voice acting. You can just go back later and check the LP for bits you missed afterwards.

JordanKai was doing a Nier LP and one of his supplemental videos was a synopsis for Drakengard. Unfortunately it's been shelved indefinitely but it's a fast enough watch and I think it explains things that may have been lost when the game got translated to English.

Drakengard 1 is incredibly simple of a plot, near traditional at this point. Caim a lovable sociopath turned mute in a soul pact with a Red dragon whom hate one another incinerate, stab, chop, crush, bludgeon and every other word for every other form of murder do so murderate a bunch of dudes with his trusty side kicks a Pedophile, a Cannibal and a super Racist. Along their way they encounter cannibal space babies born from a fuckstick bard shoving the corpse of Caims sister into a giant cum bubble seed thing. Caim and Angelus go to Tokyo engage in a massive rhythm battle game with a massive fetus prime queen that restarts the entire ordeal if you so much as gently caress up a single button press and are then shot down by the Japanese air force while everyone turns to horrible salt monsters. really nothing extra ordinary or depressing there at all.

Back for more Zelda Breath of the Wild: -Having explored most of the world now, there really aren't many enemy types. Palette swapped S/L moblins, skellies, jellies, bats, robots, big robots, octoroks, lizards, and a smattering of minibosses. I definitely get they had to budget in critters and animals everywhere, but for such a big world it just feels a little short. That said, -The dungeon design is exactly the same for the entire freaking game! I get that you like your fancy new ancient Sheikah tech motif but would it kill you to shake up the decor at least once? Or wrap it in vines? Or surround it in ice? Or anything? Even the guardian beasts are same same the whole way through! For how varied and unique the different over world environments are I'm surprised they left it this way.

I read TDI's Drakengard 3 LP and honestly did not understand how it tied into the other games at all. There's a flower or something and it implanted in Zero but then Zero split into all the Intoners and she has to kill them to contain the flower and also there's a time-traveling robot woman recording all this???

Every time I go back for some H:ZD after playing Breath of the Wild for a while I jump off a cliff without thinking and die. Every time. All games should have a paraglider. FactsAreUseless posted:I need the car to get inside. I can't get past without the car. I need to bring the car here. I need the car. Give me the car. Let me touch the car. This is a dumb nerdy bullshit thing to be posting about but I always seriously thought that the Arkham games would be a lot better with another character like Alfred or Lucius alluding to the fact that Batman is totally murdering all these guys, and his detective-vision goggles are programmed to lie to him. Sure, that guy that I kicked forty feet into a wall headfirst before closing a vault door on his legs and planting bat-shaped C4 all over is totally fine. He'll definitely survive until medical care reaches him in this hellish city overrun by violent criminals, yep. It even makes sense in-universe for the games, by Knight Batman is literally going insane and hallucinating. If you're his butler, wouldn't you want to make sure he doesn't flip out at the wrong time because oh gosh the thug actively trying to kill him accidentally got his neck snapped and died?

If you get the shield weave armor you can jump off most cliffs without taking damage. Something that annoys me about the game is how it is intrinsic to the plot that you can take over robots and make them fight for you, but if you ever have the objective that you need to kill such and such robots, to get them to stop attacking a person or whatever, if you take over a robot the quest won't continue. You have to kill the robot, even if it is now no longer hostile.

The Moon Monster posted:Better not touch the car or you'll get subdued, non-lethally. The taser-coated car nonlethally slamming into you at 70 miles per hour unexpectedly causes a traffic cone to slightly intersect one of your feet. Your 300-pound muscle body made entirely out of meat and biceps instantly turns into soft jelly as your limbs horribly contort and spack every which way, each passing frame rapidly blurring the line between man and cone. Within one second you are no longer in contact with the earth, but now spinning erratically through the air as if in a vacuum, limbs spastically snapping and reaching out in impossible directions, furiously trying to separate your hapless physical form from the ravenous clutches of the cone--But it is too late. In a matter of moments your amalgamated mess of a body is horrifically mangled into the geometry, and as more of your nonlethally-subdued form is forcibly intersected with the wall and floor, the faster the eldritch transformation takes place. When you no longer bear any resemblance to the generic muscle goon you once were, only a contorted and agonized mass of finely-tessellated polygons stretching away into the skybox, your only hope of salvation is for what used to be one of your legs to get propelled far enough beneath the map that it finally reaches the vast expanses of the kill volume. At last you find sweet release from this farcical hell as it coldly and uncaringly deletes you in a frame.

I took over a glinthawk at one point in a major city and it murdered it's buds and then hosed off to who knows where. It either found something to fight or a friendly human didn't get the memo because I heard fighting noise and then the objective popped that it died.

In Arkham City, you could knock bad guys off of buildings, and I'm pretty sure a forty foot fall (while unconscious, to boot), is going to kill you. Especially after I slammed those gauntlet spikes into your face.

Hyper Light Drifter Just finished playing through this after getting it on a Steam sale and it's like a nightmare for completionists. The game itself is well polished and a lot of fun, but you have five or so different types of trinkets to search out and the method for finding the majority of them is to just push yourself up against every wall and every edge in every room in the game in the hopes of passing through to a secret or finding invisible pathways. I was relatively thorough about it and ended up with roughly 3/4 of every type of trinket at the end, but a lot of them are really unintuitive and without looking up a YouTube guide showing you exactly where a bunch of them are it would be mind-numbing to try and 100% this game on your own.

Digirat posted:Have you noticed that there's almost always a small symbol on the ground next to secrets? I thought the secrets were actually pretty reasonable with that in mind The small square usually indicates a hidden path nearby and those are mostly fine. It's more the fake walls which are tedious to look for, since the walls aren't always completely straight already and whether or not a jagged bit indicates a secret is kind of arbitrary. It's kind of a minor point to bring up though, since the rewards for unlocking all of any given secret are kind of negligible anyway. The overall presentation of the game along with the soundtrack and how it tells everything though pictographs and a language you can't read without looking up translations online are the real draw. There's no secret ending or anything that you can only get after reaching 100%.

Breath of the Wild Let's see: Framerate really bad in towns on the Wii U version. Weapons and other gear break way too easily. Enemies that can kill you in one hit. This is Zelda not Dark Souls. Can't climb cliffs when it's raining. Getting struck by lightning because you have a sword or metal shield equipped during a storm. Horses that don't steer or control worth a gently caress. Taking damage just by tumbling down a gentle hillside. I'm now waiting for a patch from Nintendo but I get the feeling the Wii U version probably won't get another patch. spasticColon has a new favorite as of 07:08 on Mar 21, 2017 |

spasticColon posted:Enemies that can kill you in one hit. This is Zelda not Dark Souls. Furthermore on this point, the game has a crazily inverted difficulty curve. Early on it seems like every other enemy kills you in one hit (even your own bombs are near-instantly fatal) but by around the halfway point, you'll be so indestructible that you probably won't need to use healing items for the rest of the game.

Lightning storms is just how the game is played. You should always have some non-metal stuff ready to equip in the major slots. Pay attention to weather. Horses are sort of a tradeoff- you can go fast enough to avoid most enemies, but you do mostly want to do straight beelines and not try any tricky maneuvering. Good for following roads. The framerate thing is notable but it's not so bad that I'd skip the Wii U version (if you have a Wii U and not a Switch, that is.) As I talked about earlier I get the feeling that a lot of this game was developed for the Wii U so they probably didn't have to take out a lot to make it fit there- I have not heard of any major features missing.
