Randalor posted:The challenges in Spider-Man are bullshit. Well, okay, not the challenges themselves, but the requirements to get gold on them. I can get silver after a few tries, but the timing seems to be incredibly strict to get enough points for gold that I'm going to pass on them. I mean, it's not like I need to get gold on all of them to unlock all the costumes and upgrades... right? You don't need them even for platinum trophy. The gold medals are basically just for self imposed challenge and maybe maxing out all gadgets.

Playing through the second playthrough in the RE2remake with Claire and good god does Mr X wear out his welcome. Not only does he start hounding you virtually immediately in the playthrough, his appearances are just way too commonplace. For example, I just had a sequence where this happened. 1. I walk out of the stars office and head towards the stairway on my way to the big room on floor 3. 2. Mr X ambushes me in literally the first door possible and chases me through half the building before giving up. 3. I once again make my way up to the room on floor 3. 4. He's literally waiting in the room. I just wanted to clear this one puzzle segment, give me some space game.

Tengames posted:my complaint is the exact opposite in that magic in FFXV is complete bullshit. I dunno if it was like this when the game first launched but on the pc version i can just shove poo poo i find on the ground into my spells and within like 30 minutes i can make a fira that immediately ends an encounter in the first 2 seconds, nuke 80% of a boss's hp and give me enough exp to hit level 20 from a single loving cast. I don't know if it was that good around launch when I played. It seemed pretty powerful but my gripe was that you had to go to a campsite and sift through your item bag to craft every single cast. The combat was pretty much down to "hold the attack button, try to get behind your target, and use potions" though so I never felt the need to engage with the magic system. The Witcher 3 was smart enough to do away with that system even though it makes a lot more sense when you're talking about bombs and potions.

Zelda BOTW devs, do I really have to root into my bag for the correct ingredients and combine them in the pot every time I want to make a food or potion? Seriously? What about having a way, once I know a recipe, to make several of them in quick succession without the hassle?

LEGO DC SuperVillains - a lighthearted kids game, with micro games for some of the puzzles; Pipemania connections? Fine. Match and remember shapes? That’s OK. Sliding block puzzles? Ugh, even with the built-in hint system I die a little whenever one crops up - if I were an actual child it’d likely be a game breaker: ‘ok stop all the fun you’ve been having while you futz around with this puzzle for a couple minutes’

Poulpe posted:I don't think he's all that wrong. Citizen Kane is ultimately a boring movie (much like Ultima doesn't hold up and isn't great) Okay, this is... well, no. Kane holds up beautifully and I just can't imagine why you'd find it "boring" (mainly because "boring" is not useful criticism). And there is a slight difference in media here, in that a lot of the flaws that plague older games are real quality of life things that make progression difficult, because the advance of technology and progression in thinking of game design means we no longer have to look up how to mix herbs to cast a spell properly. Whereas technological advances in film have largely expanded what's possible to show convincingly, not changed the underlying narrative structures (which were put in place as early as Birth of a Nation.) They can be tricky for modern audiences in that the dialogue sounds weird and the social conventions are different, but it's not quite the same as having to look up log book entries in Pool of Radiance because there wasn't enough room for the text on a disk.

That said I do miss "read paragraph such and such' games because a few (Wasteland for example) put fake ones in the book to throw people off. The Wasteland one had an entire fake storyline strewn throughout its paragraph book.

Lightning Returns is honestly impressive. It's easily one of the least competent port jobs I've ever seen a company put out. A week ago it couldn't see my controller at all. Two days ago I could play it fine with my controller. This morning it can't see my controller at all once again. I just had to activate Big Picture Mode and go into the game specific controller settings and set up my Xbox One controller to send keyboard presses because otherwise it may as well be a loving paperweight for all the good it does. The keyboard controls are completely nonsensical, too. Look at this dumb bullshit. The face buttons are Backspace, Return, ., and M. The camera is bound to ILJK instead of the mouse. I'm legitimately surprised that they had the presence of mind to bind WASD as default movement keys instead of something out of left field.

Anyway I played some Monster Hunter World last night. I really like the game, definitely my favourite of the series. Then I tried a tempered Deviljho. For those not in the know, a Deviljho is...basically it's like a tyrannosaurus combined with a pickle, then made really hungry and very mad. It's something of an iconic creature of the series these days, and is a tough battle for people who haven't fought them. Tempered monsters are basically upgraded versions of monsters. They're tougher and hit harder. I've fought a few tempered monsters, and appreciated the challenge, but tempered Deviljho is just annoying as poo poo. He's got so much fuckin' health, hits so hard that some attacks can kill you in one hit from full health with end game armor and multiple defense boosts, and even after wailing on him for a good half hour, the group I was in had failed to weaken him. Then he killed me with a single hit and I said gently caress this. What's the worst part of this is the community. There are people online saying this is a frustrating fight, and then the vocal people in the crowd are screaming "No but this is what Monster Hunter should be! If anything it's too easy! Bring back tough battles like this one all over the place!" Which is like, great, this is the attitude that prevented people from getting into the series in the first place. Until they abandoned that hardcore gungho bullshit, a large majority didn't want to play the game because you'd be bashing your head against an unfun wall for a good 45 minutes before failing and getting nothing from it. Great. Fun. More of that yeah. IShallRiseAgain posted:What if a stupid AI gets themselves killed, and now you have to lose all your money to pay the bounty you got because of them. Carl you just earned yourself a promotion.

Easily the worst part of RDR2 was that if you accidentally bump your horse into someone else’s even slightly, they’ll go loving psycho and pull out a shotgun and start blasting you. You don’t have to crash into them and send them falling off their horse or anything like that which would be somewhat reasonable, even a nudge will do it. Then if you shoot them back it’s not considered self-defense and you lose honor and get a bounty.

It’s a terrible game and I don’t get why people love it so much. I never ran into any issues of the AI being that broken, or broken at all.

FactsAreUseless posted:It's honestly just not that good a game. It has some cool ideas and it's addictive for a while before you start getting deeper into it and realize how random it is. The biggest issue is that while there's choices to be made in terms of builds and navigating the map, most hands play themselves - there's one obvious play order every time, and all you're doing is clicking it. You don't get to actually make a lot of moment-to-moment decisions. This is a very, very good post but hoo boy do not try to make any of these points on, say, the steam forums. You'll be told to git gud noob six different ways before you press submit. I'm not a huge fan of severe difficulty to the point where there are a few great builds and a thousand pitfalls. Slay the Sprie, Darkest Dungeon, Pathfinder - all of these games appear to have massive amounts of player choice, but in reality only reasonably support a few "correct" decks / parties / builds. Each of these games offers no way to respec, either; you basically have to die or reset. Let me play around with weird builds, damnit! They don't all have to be viable - that's really, really difficult game design that's way outta reach for most indie-ish devs - but then let me respec easily.

Warframe doesn't have any way to reset your account, or replay previous missions. Which is real bad when you're like I am, and played a little bit months ago and only now picked it back up, because I don't remember how to play, my chosen Warframe's powers, or what was going on. I figured out I can murder people with telekinesis, though, so that's helping.
