6 is the most soap opera one yet since it involves teen pregnancy.

So FC5 has opened...significantly. Whats the best way to unlock as many toys as possible? Burn the campaign in one area or do a bunch of early missions in all of them?

There’s a nice slow feed of goodies so far. The game seems designed to progress with whatever approach you want. I guess focusing on the story missions + doing challenges for more perk points would be the most “efficient” path if you’re rushing for everything.

Fix posted:What open world? I'm not even out of the cutscenes yet. You get to run around a densely populated patch of redlight district in between the story missions. Go to restaurants, arcades (usually with complete ports of Sega arcade games), karaoke, fight clubs, mahjong, underground casinos. All kinds of good poo poo. It's got a lot of character, full of some of the funniest sidequests in games, but it's very small and dense. It's about my favorite open world. Don't think the demo really shows it off but that's the gameplay for the mains series. Or you can just mainline the story, Yakuza's usually pretty good about that. poptart_fairy posted:So FC5 has opened...significantly. Burn the campaign in one area. That means you have one area of the map that's chill for you to do sidequests and stuff in when you want. I'd say John's area, he's both the easiest and the worst written so get him out of the way. Or leave him til last if you like putting that kind of thing off. A Sometimes Food fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Mar 31, 2018 |

Cheers guys. Didn't want to rush, but at the same time I didn't want to find I'd miss out something important by delaying certain sequences.

We're really enjoying The Last Guardian, more so than I thought we would. Getting really heavy Myst vibes from the whole thing. Are there any other games like this out for ps4 right now? Shadow of the Colossus I guess, but anything else?

Continuing to be blown away by Nier. This game is so far from what I usually play. It is really tugging at my heart currently too. There are these lovely machines (I just did a quest to find a lost girl machine) and I completely bought that she was a lost little girl. The whole set up of machine village is delightful and these characters are just as real as 2B and nines. Seven hours in does not feel like it!

Like, there's a door guarded by a force field that you need a special gadget to hack open or something along those lines.

I think my favorite thing about the Telltale Batman games so far is how bad Bruce is at hiding he's Batman combined with the routine dialogue to shout it to everyone anyway, which I always take. He doesn't even need the mask at this point. e: My second favorite is the running gag while fighting Catwoman where Bruce can try to kiss her because Batman horny and bad at reading things and Batman just gets punched in the face. The part in 3 where you can take her to the Batcave only for her to immediately notice and Batman to immediately regret that he put her stuff in the Violent Psycho Trophy Room got a laugh too. Batman's a dumbass. I'm playing these as World's Worst Superhero and it's amazing. It's not quite the high of TftB but it's close.

there's a lot of walking about in dragons dogma. I just did this quest to recover this grimoire and had to walk from gran soren to the south and got the book and now i have to walk all the way back fighting over 9000 wolves along the way?? Bit tedious imo, especially when the map gets bigger I imagine. Is there any way to fast travel in this game?

Yes you can get these giant crystals called Portcrystals, which you can collect and place anywhere in the game world, and use the Eternal Ferrystone, an item in your storage in Gran Soren, to teleport between them.

It kind of share some of the same appeal to me. Puzzles atmosphere nice scenery etc.

SOMA if you can deal with Sci-fi horror. Different variations on loneliness within a storytelling theme, I suppose. Other than that, no, Ueda games are absolutely unique. You absolutely should find a way to play both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Prepare to hand your GF a box of tissues at the end of TLG, and to maybe use some yourself.

There are some design decisions in Mafia III that gotta have been made to screw with the player. There are two Action buttons, Square and Triangle. Triangle is for climbing stuff and Square is for opening doors, picking up items and entering cars, and you can be sure as hell that every single time I'm in a firefight I'll end up climbing on my car instead of driving away. The Map button is Options, instead of the Touchpad, which is the Detective Vision, and once again, I'll get in my car, and be confused for a couple of seconds of why the world just turned red instead of my map appearing. Despite Square being the Action button, Circle is the one you use to hit people, so I'll get in a fistfight and begin desperately grabbing the weapons and cash that were dropped on the ground previously while I'm being pummeled. L1 opens the Equipment Wheel, but you select what you want with the right stick instead of the left one - I think this one is a bit more common but still confusing. Still is a good game, but it'll take me a while to unfuck my muscle memory.

haveblue posted:SOMA is incredibly scary but they did just patch into it a mode where it's almost impossible to die- the enemies are almost entirely passive and will only attack if you really go to a lot of trouble to bother them. Yeah it's not how it's meant to be played. But a ton of PC people moded it like that so the developers acquiesced. Click here to learn more about easy modes in games designed not to have them https://youtu.be/NInNVEHj_G4 That's not a value judgment. Play how you want. I think soma would work with zero enemies at all.
