I don't know if it's my game, the ps3, or a combination of the two but God of War 2 keeps locking up. It could also be the infinite magic and rage mode letting me infinitely spam magic too though. Pretty sure I had a 2000 hit combo last time

Basically Taskmaster is the equivalent of Mr Krabs and just loves money to the point that it overrides his normally good sense. I get the sense he could probably easily go straight, or even get amnesty for joining a hero team and providing training services, but villains keep (somehow) paying better and he just loves money so much.

I always like the here and there comics that make Taskmaster out to be a pretty drat strong villain in truth, it's just that he often doesn't have any great motivation to go kill a hero, he gets rid of X or Y, that's one less goody two shoes for all the B-list villain marks to play nemesis with and pay him to train their little private goon squads to make a fight look good against. Like when he's not half-assing, the guy really just has to get a good bead on you and he can, with quite a bit of accuracy, swipe your moves and even mimic some of your power, athleticism or guile he wouldn't normally have. Taskmaster could tear some people up, but that's not where the dough is.

CordlessPen posted:I don't like a trend that I think I'm noticing where games, mostly loot-based games, will indicate damage in DPS rather than some kind of attack rating or hit point. I get that they're trying to be helpful and not make it seem like faster weapons are poo poo, but knowing the base damage is so much more useful than having the DPS calculated for you that I really wonder why they bother. Like, a slow but powerful weapon could have the same DPS as a faster one, but the fact that the first attack would kill in one hit makes a world of difference. It's also not clear what formula they use when calculating DPS as it varies in every game. Assassin's Creed: Origins does this and I have no idea why. DPS isn't a good metric in games like this. AC:O is different in that it does tell you the damage values of your weapons...after you equip them, at the bottom of the screen. When actually scrolling through weapons, all you get is DPS.

Oh my god, thank you for posting this. The thought that Stilt-Man is somehow still relevant enough for them to decide 'Stilt-Man but girl' was a rad new take on the character to keep them around is just putting such a big smile on my face.  Do you know who that dork on Deadpool's left is in the second panel?

Taskmaster could tear some people up, but that's not where the dough is. Taskmaster could change the world in incredible ways but he has just enough common sense to know that killing heroes willy-nilly will have terrible consequences. He's basically applying the same, 'Don't do anything drastic, you have no idea how that could affect the rest of the world' stance that people usually do with time travel.

I've been playing through Mother 3 and the thing dragging it down are some of the bosses are outright brutal. Like the shield trio and their bullshit PSI magic attacks and then the boss right after is defeated simply by just battering him (While trying to get the beat of that damned song down)

Piell posted:I'll take DPS over "Attack Speed: Fast" any day. Ideally games should just list both or find some other way to communicate that fast attacking daggers are not actually garbage compared to heavy two-handed axes and vice versa. I seem to recall Hellgate London having the problem of just slapping a big unlabeled number on gear, which I think was supposed to be DPS maybe, but like a lot of other things in that game just elicited lots of  at the time.

So as someone who is making a game, would y'all prefer a damage per standard hit number and perhaps a training dummy that can report your actual in-anger DPS?

Make all equipment and abilities equally strong under the hood, but arbitrarily boost different items, classes, and individual characters based on whether they are in easy-to-calculate situations.

Dummies are useful for testing buffs and combos and poo poo. Actually laying out formulae is important too, since people will eventually figure them out anyway.

If you're including guns, please don't do that poo poo where automatic weapons do less damage per shot than semi-auto weapons firing the same round.

That's what I was thinking- if you've got a horn that buffs bonus damage, a hammer that deals bonus damage to stunned enemies, an autonomous turret that stuns burning enemies, and a grenade that sets enemies on fire, it'd be cool to see how all those bits interact numerically.

Yeah, didn't it change from enemies with regular attack animations to just automatically dealing damage whenever you touched them? Which basically hosed with the flow of the combat segments something fierce and made them much worse for no good reason.

Whenever there is a really weird villain in an episode I go "there's no way that character was in the comics" and every time they were.

Len posted:Dog Welder is a canon DC character. He welds dogs to people. Oh my god, this is like hearing that the guy who the Punisher fought that taped a bunch of babies to himself and claimed he was invincible was a regular threat throughout the years. Anyway, new complaint I forgot to make earlier. Dragon Quest 11 introduces a new party member as an exceptional martial artist throwing rapid kicks in cutscenes like Kenshiro or Chun Li. Despite this, they do not have any skill that allows them to do a series of kicks. This is wrong on many levels.
