Someone either in this thread or the Wolf2 thread mentioned that the game is more fun when played on a lower difficulty, and I have to agree. Wolf 2 is the type of game where I just want to run around and shotgun everything in the face. You can't really do that in Wolf2 unless you drop the difficulty down, because your dude is actually pretty soft unlike in DOOM. Meanwhile, I found DOOM more fun on UV and Nightmare.

I can usually do at least OK in shooters but literally had to play through Wolf2 on the lowest difficulty of 7. The 7th difficulty is only playable after beating the game once, and involves playing through on difficulty 6 without ever dying. There's a bronze trophy gating the Plat tied to this.

henpod posted:Ok lots of accolades for Doom there. The first Wolfenstein is there for a fiver, so I guess I should grab that? DOOM, The New Order and The New Colossus are three of the very best FPS games on the console. DOOM is legendary. I have nothing bad to say about it. TNO is a really well done modern Wolfenstein. Strong characters, an engaging story, great level design, fun gunplay. TNC has some pacing issues but I loved it. It’s a solid sequel to TNO. The story and character interactions make up for all of its downsides. e: just saw what you bought, good choices! Have fun

You can't really do that in Wolf2 unless you drop the difficulty down, because your dude is actually pretty soft unlike in DOOM. Doom is designed to be played as fast as you can, and getting right up in enemies faces. It's a run-and-gun game on speed. Wolfenstein feels like you're supposed to take a more cautious approach to situations, often incorporating stealth and quiet enemy takedowns. I think this is the main reason why people didn't like Wolfenstein 2 as much, because they were expecting more Doom's style of gameplay. Plus the initial trailer made it seem this way, with loud music, explosions, and duel-weilding automatic shotguns right up in enemies faces. univbee posted:I can usually do at least OK in shooters but literally had to play through Wolf2 on the lowest difficulty of 7. I played through on the 4th difficulty setting, and while I died a lot, it still was nowhere as frustrating as playing some of the earlier CoD games on Veteran. The fact that they tied a trophy (let alone a bronze one) to getting through the hardest difficulty on a single life is hilarious to me. The first game had a fairly easy platinum to achieve, whereas this one is like "yeah, gently caress you. Let's see you try and get this one rear end in a top hat!"

I haven't played Wolfenstein 2 since I rented it shortly after buying a PS4 since the games showed up after the console did and I'm horribly impatient but I hope they've made the game better about letting you know you're getting shot, because that was a real problem I had two years ago. I know its been getting patches but I have no idea what they fixed because PS4 tells you nothing and it's surprisingly hard to find any of that info with my level of google skills. I also found myself getting lost on where to go, because I was playing things like Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted, Shadow of War, XCOM 2 and Ratchet and Clank. Games that all either have a bright polygon showing you the direction you need to go/ one actual path to follow and one side path/an aggressive hint system that doesn't want you getting frustrated if you take less than a minute to figure out the puzzle. I did find situations where I'd get done killing people, run through collecting more weapons and ammo and then continue running around trying to find where I was supposed to go. These are my experiences with the game, so you know what to be on guard for if you decide to buy it. Lemme know how it goes, because if it got improved maybe I'll rent it again. In new complaints, I can't believe only the Dwarf in Dragon's Crown can through people. It just feels so off to not be able to do the same for everyone. The giant boulders being Dwarf exclusive would be fine but it still just feels off to me to not be able to pick anyone up as at least the Fighter or Amazon.

henpod posted:Battlefield 4 is £3.30 right now, I'm quite tempted but wondering whether or not I will get in and leave because it feels out of date. Does anyone still play this? Does it hold up? There are plenty of people playing BF4 on PS4 and PC. If you can grab the DLC if you didn't when it was free some time ago, it's worth having even if most people play vanilla maps nowadays. With BFV having a lot of problems I've seen people coming back to BF4 and BF1 so it may be a good moment to jump in.

it is a lot of value for the price, and I like the art style a lot (wish bloodstained did it like this instead of making a 2.5d monstrosity). but it can be so annoying the white palace feels like they wanted a super meat boy area but they clearly do not understand the value of good check points. well that's a problem with the game as a whole really, but it's super annoying here

wolf2 had its cathartic moments but fewer than i would have liked and all the scatological humor did it a disservice also what the hell was up with everything about spesh's plan/death and the subsequent ambush, it's so stupid and arbitrary that it's like a cut from a rejected draft that somehow weaseled its way back into the finished script

The more I think about TNC the more I like it honesty. But to be fair I was in love with it the entire way through and was surprised to see some people disliked it. I get it but the game worked out for me. I just wish it was 2-3 hours longer with the pacing adjusted. @Hollow Knight chat: I would’ve been way more into it if it was more ds Castlevania in the gameplay vs soulslike. It’s a good game though so I’ll end up giving it any other go. The graphics, sound and animations are incredible. Games with melancholy atmospheres make me melt

Guillermus posted:Today is a special day gaming-wise for me. I got my first (non handheld) Sony console exactly two years ago as I never owned a PSX, PS2 or PS3. Same. It's pretty amazing. Also can we argue again about how Agro is the best horse? Seriously, I tried it yesterday, you literally just steer them a little when you need to go in that specific general direction. Otherwise, you can do the sick back + X and make Agro rear up on their hind legs and bust rear end onto the next colossus, little input needed. Or, you can be a trick rider, and stand on him while shooting arrows at blue tailed lizards. Also, I don't know how I feel about playing Kiwami now, I was super excited before the last few chapters, but then I realized in Kiwami I'm not going be playing as Majima. This really blows, and I do like Kiryu, he's got just as many funny scenes in 0 as Kiryu, but the last few chapters made me actually really care about Majima as a character. I'm kind of gutted, tbh.. I want a Yakuza -1 with only ponytail Majima doing similar poo poo, maybe it can tell the story of how him and his bro (who we never really see in 0, right?) were up to back then.

I like the fast travel points in Hollow Knight. They're far enough apart from each other to be meaningful when you discover one, but close enough that you can get to any point on the map in less than a few minutes. Also adds to the overall feel of exploring a vast unknowable cave system, lots of fast travel would cheapen that feeling for me. The whole atmosphere is what HK absolutely excels at. I also personally love the combat and the boss fights are right up my alley. I don't just love this game because it was cheap, it's 100% worth loving at any price. Super Meat Boy section was definitely the worst part of the game, but the blow was softened when I realized I could setup my gear to not have to worry about limited attempts and I had a lot more fun with it after that. My biggest complaint about the game is that sometimes the background and foreground don't have different enough values and they blend together a bit. It can become tough to tell if something is a platform I can stand on or just background decoration.
