You know you can warp to the waypoints at any time from the menu right? It's okaaaaaay. Improving it only makes the game better tho because it allows you to double back to specific areas much faster without breaking anything at all (so far, if it breaks something you can always turn it off).

Look if you don't have the time to play games anymore, you don't, just make it faster. Like my bro Dias, i like to speed up the busywork, not just in games, i also binge watched the entirety of Breaking Bad in 2x speed cause who has the time to go through multiple seasons of a show anymore

I'd recommend the Better Trophies mod for TW3 too, cause the default trophies have repeat stats or are just useless junk anyways, at least this will give them stats that make sense. Also the Disable intro and storybook videos mod, if you're actively playing the game and don't want to sit through plot reminders every time you boot it up. And for anyone that has beaten the game and just wants more stuff to kill... Random Encounters loving owns, you can re-fight all those unique monsters like griffins and leshens as random encounters in the world, I love it.

Yeah, you shouldn't be like me, a terrible person that doesn't stop and appreciate the 4min backtracking to talk to the same NPC for the fourth time to advance a quest.

Yeah, seconding the Shadowruns and Tyranny. Also Torment 2 is real good if you want more of a narrative focused RPG.

Really Pants posted:the only mods that truly matter are nude mods And how funny we bring up Dragon's Dogma, where a mod that removed stamina for sprint, or maybe it was to change the UI buttons to be PS4 ones, it also had the nude mod because the modder was using it when he created the aforementioned mod. It was something with how Dragma handled modding, where it was just a flat executable. So you can't say install a nude mod then later add the sprint mod, you had to download an .exe that had both mods.

In anticipation of the Halloween sale, I've got three really good games to talk about this coming week. For now, though... there's this. SPOOKY G4MES: The Ghost Dimension 1. Stories Untold 2. Rusty Lake Hotel 3. Rusty Lake: Roots 4. Left in the Dark: No One on Board 5. Daily Chthonicle: Editor's Edition 6. Eleusis 7. Dead Effect 8. Dead Effect 2 9. State of Decay 10. Dead End Road 11. Goetia 12. EMPORIUM 13. F.E.A.R. 14. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin 15. F.E.A.R. 3 16. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter 17. Bloody Streets 18. Layers of Fear 19. Dark Fall 2: Lights Out 20. Painkiller: Black Edition 21. Doorways: The Underworld 22. Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh    I held out hope that Saibot Studios would eventually hit upon a working horror formula by the end of the Doorways series. Prelude (from what I had seen) was a lot of wandering with very little happening, and Underworld had some ungainly monsters crammed into cramped halls and tiresome puzzles. There were hints of greatness hiding in the atmosphere and sound design though, which helped birth the hope that this one might be the one that finally gets it right. And while Holy Mountains of Flesh is the richest and most polished entry of the series, it’s still only halfway again towards being a solid horror game. Those ooey-gooey peaks promised in the title surround a remote mountain town in Mexico, home of an infamous and reclusive serial killer. You won’t be exploring the real thing of course, instead delving directly into the mind of the villain himself to subdue and apprehend him… somehow. That means the village you explore is floating in a hellish, DOOM-like void of crimson clouds and ominous lightning. Your goal lies in a temple devoted to the Saint of Flesh, a lamprey-faced thing who seems set as the main antagonist of the series here, despite never being seen before this installment. I’m talking around the plot a bit because it’s mostly absent within the game, despite the claims of “complex story” on the store page. You’re free to wander the village between trips to the few key locations you must explore, but you’ll find little of substance in the desolate, poorly-modeled shacks. Sometimes you’ll get a funky visual effect accompanying an audio flashback to someone coughing or arguing, nothing that actually advances the plot in any way. Your protagonist is also far quieter in this game, refusing to utter exclamations at every turn like he did in Underworld and just voicing the rare notes scattered about. That’s how hollow this game feels, that even the perfunctory notes seem rare! There’s not much more to look forward to in the major locations of the game either, just a handful of notes and simple puzzles. I admit they’re more creative than the awful valve mazes of Underworld, but not by a whole lot. In the school, for example, you have to stay in well-lit areas lest a spindly, invisible zombie man pounce from nowhere and eat your face. In practice this will mean pushing around carts of boxes and TVs, flipping light switches, and eventually making an over-complicated coolant mixture for the generator. All this is to get a ceremonial dagger, along with maybe half a dozen notes and one single collectible if you think to retrace your steps a bunch at the end. In many ways, Holy Mountains of Flesh feels like a step backwards from Underworld despite having more actual gameplay. I admit the floating village looks neat but is so well-lit and nonthreatening that the game loses a lot of the oppressive atmosphere that worked so well for the previous title. The monsters too are less frightening, limited to more or less stationary beings that unceremoniously grab you and kill you if you get their gimmick wrong. And while the poor environment design wasn’t a huge knock against the tunnels and pits of Underworld, here they hugely limit the experience. Buildings simply look wrong (and not in the good horror way), like setpieces not meant to be lived in or used for anything more than scenery. Even if you appreciate the barren environs and shallow puzzles here, it’s going to last you three hours at most. There are only three key areas, and I’ll remind you that wandering the village gets you almost nothing of note. You’ll find no shortage of better (and longer) horror adventures out there, more than enough to keep you out of this lackluster series. I almost hate to see it end like this, with progress towards a legitimately good horror game ending before arriving, but there’s no avoiding it. Holy Mountains of Flesh is an appropriate end to the Doorways saga, another attempt at atmospheric horror that never really gets fleshed out.

Hopefully my idiocy will save someone else from making the same mistake. I had picked up X-Com 2 War of the Chosen a few weeks ago and thought I was playing it. I realized today that in the launcher that loads up, the logo for War of the Chosen isn't just an image to let you know it's installed. It's actually a button you have to press to turn on the expansion content.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Exception: Resident Evil 4. This was literally the only game I could think of where inventory management is good and fun. also I've been playing Helen's Mysterious Castle a bit and it's surprisingly well-done for a rpgmaker dungeon-focused game. It implements a single-party turn-based fighting style decently. I imagine the fighting will get kind of stale after a while but it seems like it's going to be short enough to mostly avoid that problem. It also works in dying in a different way, instead of game-overing when you die, you get sent back to your bed where your brother makes you a steak that increases your hp by 1. Yeah, for real. You don't lose exp or anything either and exp is used pretty uniquely, as Helen doesn't level up, but you can level up items to make them stronger and cut down on their "wait" time. It's kind of a neat game once you get beyond the typical rpgmaker clunk and it's only 1.99 normal price. You could do worse if you want to try a short, lite dungeon-focused rpg experience.

RE4 has fun inventory management, because it actually means something to you as a player and you can optimize it at a glance. System Shock 2 has a similar system and it was pretty cool too. That's one of my arguments for just deleting weight cap limits from most games, they usually don't mean anything, it's just an arbitrary "please don't pack-rat" barrier. Either make players HAVE to base their loadout on what they can carry or just pretend they have a Bag of Holding IMO.

The shlocky b movie plot and acting, the memorable set pieces, and the unparalleled blend of action and survival horror. It's peak Resident Evil. If Capcom wanted to make an extra extra HD version with new higher resolution textures and kept everything else the same I'd probably buy it a seventh time or whatever. I also love how the game constantly feels like you're hitting the climax and then nope, it keeps on going. It's bizarre in hindsight how all the promotional materials focused on the village stuff and then come to find out it's a fairly small part of the game.
