Drunk Driver Dad posted:I'm asking this here because I don't feel like digging up an rear end creed thread. Rogue or Black Flag for my first Assassin's Creed? They seem like they might be fun. Are there any RPGish mechanics? Like say, as much as Horizon: ZD? I know they aren't pure RPG games

Don't all the asscreed games have unskippable cutscenes? Or are there some that don't?

if your roomate was an adventure game protagonist and locked themselves out youd wake up to find an improvised explosive hooked up to the circuit breaker and the mailbox converted into a makeshift catapult

The real draw to this game is the way the stories are told. Even if you think the overall narrative is poor, the way it was put together is still very well done.

The worst thing about the Fortnite/PUBG slapfight is that the Fortnite mode was developed by the Unreal Tournament team. Yeah, the same Unreal Tournament that's sat unfinished and largely untextured since 2014.

Eldred posted:I thought I heard Death of the Outsider was supposed to be a send-off to the series? I haven't actually played it yet so take that with a grain of salt. I know it was pages ago... The levels are the best they've ever been. But for a "world-changing" event (whether you go the violent or peaceful route), there is very little payoff. Actually, no payoff. Its a terrible send off to the setting and characters if its the last one.

They've said that it's the end of the story arc that's played out over the series so far, and if they do another one they'll be experimenting a bit.

I wrote up a whole NaNoWriMo once and the only copy of it was in a .txt file on my laptop. It took me a few tries at the event to both break 50k and learn to back it up by emailing it to myself and sticking it on gdocs.

Really Pants posted:What are those? there's a later area in the game with five ores that have unique descriptions that look like gibberish, but could conceivably be part of a coded message. i wouldn't notice or care, except that they're specifically called cryptums, which makes me think there probably is something going on there.

Every October I wish there was something I could do to find horror games (and films) properly scary again. Alien:Isolation creeped me out a few times but aside from that nothing has really scared me for years now. I think Silent Hill 2 was the last game that really got to me.

Turn off the lights, put on headphones, be alone in the house, and watch some movies like Jacob's Ladder before you begin to play, to be in the right mood. Horror only really works if you're in the right frame of mind for it. ...Mind you I'm a super-weenie who will get scared at anything, so just watching a clip of Jacob's Ladder in broad daylight spooked me pretty bad, so, uh.

I think Jacob's Ladder is still the scariest movie I've ever seen. It reminds me of how merciful most horror films tend to be to their audiences, because you can mostly tell when the characters are safe and when they're in danger. No scene feels safe in Jacob's Ladder, the mundane can give way to the nightmarish in seconds, and there's a persistent aura of dread that permeates the whole runtime. There's one scene Elizabeth Pena's character says something like "Anybody there? Anybody home?" and for a split second her expression becomes downright demonic, but because it's over so fast you're not even sure what you saw. The entire movie is like that.

I always feel like I should play some spooky games for October but the timing never works out right. For instance right now I'm doing a Saints Row series replay and I'm debating if I want to pick up Agents of Mayhem.

Echo isn't really a horror game, but it's the only other stealth game I've played that matches Isolation for creepy and threatening enemies

I was a genius who tried to watch the whole thing in one go at 3AM one lovely morning, and despite having the lights on and being surrounded by cats, I made it as far as the subway scene before I was out. It's just really freaking unsettling to watch, in that good horror way.

I wish I could agree, just so this doesn't come across as me being internet contrarian, but Jacob's Ladder just bores the poo poo out of me. Lot's of people love it, so I guess it just doesn't gel with what I enjoy. Which is weird, because I love films that have little surreal bits in them.

Horror only really works if you're in the right frame of mind for it. I always turn off lights and use headphones for horror games anyway, but making a night of it might work. I do still enjoy horror stuff anyway, it just doesn't scare me like it used to. But maybe that's become self fulfilling, since I usually assume nothing will scare me now. I've got Outlast and the Penumbra trilogy to play through, I'll see if really committing to being scared works. I'll also take a look at Echo and finally get around to watching Jacob's Ladder like people have been telling me to for years.

So Has Been Heroes (highest tier in the latest humble bundle) is awesome. It is a roguelite fighting game that is basically a puzzle game? It feels more like chess than rpg fighting. I'm really enjouing it.
