Inspector Gesicht posted:The most awful moment in the Witcher 3 is when you get into a fist-fight with that half-elf-all-rear end in a top hat during that card-tournament. Fist-fights in this game are hard, but if you fail you just get knocked out instead of dying, so you can continue the game minus some dignity. Not here though. For no good reason you get a game-over if this rear end in a top hat beats you up, and he will beat you up in this tiny room until you git gud on the sixth attempt. At the start of any fistfight, dodge backwards. Wait for your opponent to come to you, then hold block as soon as he starts to swing at you. You'll parry him without taking damage every time, and then can get two or three quick hits (don't bother with heavy) against him until he starts blocking. When he starts blocking, dodge backwards and repeat. It's not good but it's extremely easy even on Death March. You can usually screw up two or three times before you lose, too, so even if you suck at videogames like I do it's hard to gently caress this technique up.

Replaying Xcom enemy unknown and I started a new game and chose a research project on Xeno biology and the scientist said, and I quote, “that does seem to be the most pressing of our research concerns.” So I’m thinking I made the best choice right? I mean that’s literally what she told me. Anyway I decide I want to replay the tutorial since I’ve forgotten a few things so I make a new game and play the tutorial (the game automatically skips the tutorial if you’ve played before, you have to select the tutorial on new games). So I play it and then replay the first mission and get to choose a new research project again. THIS TIME I choose a weapon research project and the same scientist says, and I quote, “that does seem to be the most pressing of our research concerns.” THE EXACT SAME THING. they can’t bth be the most pressing bitch.

Because it got brought up in the favorite things thread: Digital Devil Saga 2. I hate how the game constantly changes your party make-up. I plan out my characters and party only to get a key character swiped away. It gets awful near the end. I Love the story, but they seriously irritated me with all the characters getting pulled out.

I dislike it in general when I can't choose my party makeup. Granted, that's a bit of a gripe for older RPG's, but don't offer me a large cast and only let me use who you choose!

Forced party members depends heavily on how it's done for me. It's fine if the game levels unused characters, gives them equipment and lets you do some stuff at your own pace with them, and the worst if it suddenly dumps you in combat with only a bunch of weaklings on your side. Related: When you normally have a full party and make your main character focused on conversation/disarming traps/etc and then there's some segment when you're on your own and expected to fight.

Final Fantasy II (you know, the actual second Final Fantasy game) has a constantly rotating fourth slot, which is pretty bad for a game where your characters improve by doing things repeatedly. It stops right before the final dungeon, when they drop a fresh character in your lap who will be there until the credits roll. Thanks game! At a certain point you just give them all the hand-me-downs when it comes down to items. You might also strip them of their items when you know they are about to say bye-bye. ...which sucks if you got the GBA version (or any version released afterwards) since that added a side-story that features some of these guest characters and they inherit the equipment and spells they had in the main story. Remember Minwu, the White Mage? You start with just him, have fun barely scraping by for the first hour.

It's real frustrating in 2 for certain parts. Hope you've been leveling Cielo! I really, really hope you have!  I forgot to last play through. At least when you get them back they level and master whatever mantra they were equipped with. I liked it more in the first game where occasionally Heat and Argilla would gently caress off for a brief segment and you could equip them with a high cost mantra just before they did and they'd come back with it mastered automatically. 2 is definitely more story driven and fast paced than the first game. There's not much optional content in it either. Only four optional bosses before the final dungeon.Qwertycoatl posted:Forced party members depends heavily on how it's done for me.

In Digital Devil Saga 2 there are major plot reasons your party gets forcibly shifted around everyone dies. Except for one really annoying boss fight where one of your party members insists on forcing his way into the party for it. Which sucks if you haven't been using him.

A lot of people talk about how it's in poor taste that your friend gets raped by one of the bad guy's lieutenant, but I almost never hear about the time when you get drugged and wake up with your quest-giver on top of you, naked. That doesn't count as rape, everybody knows women can't rape men, duh. No of course I don't loving think that, but enough people do or just don't care that that's the reason why nobody really talks about it.

I kind of liked how it was handled in Final Fantasy 3 (the DS version since it's the only version I've played of it) but you'd have a story important 5th character occasionally, who wouldn't be in your party - but would still get involved in combat by randomly attacking/supporting. So you'd just have some dude supporting you who didn't need to be maintained - but they still felt kind of involved in a way. And I thought it was pretty cool when the mechanic showed up again during the Yokai battle in Bravely Second - who I think was made by the same people that made the DS final fantasies? I know they made Hero's of Light which is a game I've wanted to try forever. 4 on the other hand was a bit trickier because I know you can get those special skill items - and I think it's possible to give them to a character that leaves and lose them forever.

Confusingly for FFIV remake you absolutely want to put these permanently loseable character upgrade items on characters who leave the party permanently because the game compensates you if you do that by giving you extremely powerful ones. So it is a neat double trap system, if you played FFIV before youre bound not to put them on characters who leave so youll never get the good stuff and if you dont know and get those items its very likely youll put them onto the next character who leaves your party thus losing that reward forever.

Gone back to get the rest of the exploration done in Pandora's Tower - I replayed a few of the towers with the Crimson Key, and now I'm going back to finally do the rest, just 2 more before the Towers of Dawn and Dusk, which I'll probably chapter select to after beating and use the lack of a time limit to explore for any missing texts in those 2 because they are a pain in the rear end. The thing is I don't like how long it takes for Elena to translate a batch of texts - going into the towers to pass time seemed to help, but she has held onto one of the three she is currently working on since before the post-game and still seems nowhere closer, with these new ones being found behind the red doors. It just feels that it takes too long because you get no indication of how long it will take.

Thinking Bloodborne (and other titles) will escape PlayStation is pretty far-loving-fetched but who cares if a person doesn't want to buy a console? If they've already got a gaming platform with an enormous backlog and have no interest in buying another thing to game on, why bother trying to convince them otherwise? Anywyas PYF little thing dragging down a game: replaying Mario RPG, and I'm trying to do a low level run since even a bit of grinding lets you just steam roll over any challenge... hit a roadblock with Jonathabmn Jones, though, because I forgot that halfway through the fight he challenges Mario to a 1 on 1 duel after boosting his defenses and if you lose it's a game over.

I don't have many complaints about it, but in Yakuza Kiwami, guns are annoying to deal with because getting shot knocks you down, and you have to hammer X in order to stand back up They're generally rare and always killable in a single combo, so generally it's pretty intense to hunt down the gunman and get off the kill combo before his friends gang up on you. It also usually nets you a gun with four shots, so sometimes it's even a good thing. Until they made a boss who fights primarily with guns and has two giant-rear end health bars and can also nail you while you're 90 degrees to the side of him. Hope you like hammering X for 90% of the fight motherfucker.

You probably know already but just in case, he only challenges you to go 1v1 if you kill all of his cronies, so as long as you always let one live, he'll never challenge you to a duel. It's dishonourable though
