Szurumbur posted:Persona 5 again: your teammates IMs/text messages are more often than not rather long, with proper grammar and sent instantly, often a few in rapid succession, which destroys the illusion of them being ,,real". Your own texts are terse two or three-word long, which look really impolite in comparison. which is weird because the texting in Catherine was really great the thing dragging down Catherine is that it has a really loving neat story and great characters and dialogue and I am absolutely shithouse at three-dimensional puzzles

Not really a thing dragging a game down, but my sister has bought my nephew a lovely Ben 10 switch game for his birthday when he's asked for Mario Odyssey.  I've gotten him Mario Kart, but gently caress, I would have bought him Odyssey if I'd known...

Jetamo posted:If it's of any consolation, ESO is by the Zenimax side not the Bethesda side IIRC. Yes, ESO is Zenimax Online, not Bethesda, although ZO really wants to pretend it’s the Bethesda side of the company. ESO actually isn’t a half-bad game and does some interesting technical stuff (IIRC it was the first MMO to do dynamic sharding), but it suffered from two problems that weren’t the game’s fault: management insisted on and published a release date without actually talking to the devs about whether that was feasible (according to the devs I’ve spoken to), and it happened to come out at the exact moment when everyone collectively got tired of MMORPGs.

spit on my clit posted:instead lets bitch about how bethesda keeps dragging down the elder scrolls series as a whole by focusing on releasing skyrim on every console from now until 2030, and their mmo that three people play, instead of focusing on a new entry to the series. ok, im probably being unfair to the mmo, im sure at least six people are playing it by now. By all accounts ESO came out the other side basically being the next Elder Scrolls game where you can gently caress around and do Elder Scrolls Stuff, all as a single player with minimal MMO bullshit getting involved. Sunswipe posted:It's poo poo? I got if free on Ubisoft's not-Steam service and uninstalled after a couple of hours. There's nothing about the game that's done well, let alone in an interesting way.  When it's not relying on awkward mission scripting, I kinda like Watchdogs. I even like Aiden because he's fun to hate. There's enough good ideas in there that they went on to make WD2 which is supposed to be really, really good. An Assassins' Creed 1 -> 2 situation.

WD2 is much better because the protagonist isn't a complete poo poo, and the storyline's mostly light enough that it doesn't clash as badly with all the ridiculous other poo poo you can do.

Yeah, I'll fully admit that WD1 is wildly uneven and surely had to be a mess behind the scenes to end up as it did. I have to wonder if the reason there's so much superfluous poo poo in the game is because Ubisoft's 600 satellite studios were left spinning their wheels during rough patches, so hey, have a bunch of minigames. Still have a soft spot for it tho.

The funny thing is, on some level I think having them be siblings/extended family really does work better for what, well, what at least one of the writers was trying to do, at some point, in one of the drafts. I think the more obvious sign of how confused the script is is Jordi, who feels like he stepped out of a completely different game. In fact the entire "fixer" concept is just a big pile of ???? for how much it intersects with but never actually affects the plot (maybe that changes in the back half of the game though).

The game Tower Unite is built pretty heavily around the idea of building and decorating player areas using customization items that you buy with in-game currency, however the stores that sell the items are on a completely separate map from where you actually build your house. So any sort of building project inevitably winds up with you bouncing back and forth between loading screens running down to the store to pick up an office chair or a few dozen additional canvases when you inevitable run out during a project. It seems like having some kind of build menu a la The Sims wouldn't be very difficult from the backend and would be hugely convenient.Terminally Bored posted:EDIT: The best thing is that pretty much all of them had no idea unless they were following the thread closely.

I am probs going into easy later, when I lose patience. RareAcumen posted:Boy the level scaling in Borderlands is such garbage. The rest increased the last bit at the cost of everything else.

What drags gaming down are the obscene levels of additional DRM some are using. You got Steam, that's what people are comfortable with stop tagging on your own launcher and loving Denuvo with sixty billion EULA to agree to. Honestly I skip those kinds of game these days rather than rewarding that poo poo.

Cythereal posted:X-Morph is a decently fun combo tower defense/twin stick shooter with the twist that you're playing as the aliens invading Earth and fending off huge waves of human tanks and planes and whatnot. However, after completing the game, I feel the game dropped the ball hard on bosses. Across fourteen levels, there were only four bosses - and one of them was reused in a later level as a pair of minibosses. The bosses that appear are pretty great: a skyscraper-sized spider tank in South Africa (and two later appear in Nigera), a gigantic ultraheavy tank that would make a Baneblade or Mammoth Tank feel inadequate in Germany, a gigantic ekranoplan flying fortress in Russia, and of course a giant battle mech in Japan. But... that's it. The Americans don't scrape together some lunatic superheavy, either in the New York or the Hawaii mission that would be just perfect for some colossal battleship or aircraft carrier. The Chinese don't. The British don't. And so on and so forth. My issue is turret placement around bomber paths. Most of the time the placement doesn't appear to be under the path, but it still registers as possibly being hit. So I move it over a few squares or whatever and shift the camera a bit but no, it still registers as likely to be hit. Made playing the Russia level with the boss an utter loving chore.

To be fair, being a smug contrarian that just endlessly posts “the things goons think are good are actually bad, and the things they think are bad are actually good, and everyone but me is a shitlord pissbaby (or whatever other incredibly lame catchphrase is currently in vogue in PYF) for thinking otherwise” is the only thing you’ve ever done across all of your accounts so it’s really only a matter of time before you notice that goons don’t like Trump and decide that he’s good.

poptart_fairy posted:Wasn't there statistics about how DRM only really "needs" to stop the first couple days worth of piracy, or am I remembering wrong? It's all spurious. Publishing companies usually run towards DRM to calm down board members who start whinging about potential revenue being lost rather then for its proven effectiveness in boosting revenue. A lot of DRM practices build on fundamental misunderstandings of both economics (that a consumer will consume something a price=0 does not mean that they would consume it at price=X), consumer behavior (customers are not rational and will for a myriad of reasons often pay for things even if they theoretically have the opportunity to avoid doing so) and just plain consumer research (not all consumer groups are capable of resorting to piracy).
