Keep posting that good good cowboy poo poo, I love reading about everyone’s experience with the game  Brightman posted:The only really bad issue I know about Prey is the loading times suck, especially on PS4. If you can play it on PC on an ssd that'd be the way to go. I didn't notice any audio issues but I don't have surround either. I can deal with that, no big deal. As I understand it the game is very good about being consistent with the rooms and the state of them so I assume that’s why the loading takes forever.

You’re talking about the Lenny mission at the beginning of chapter 2 I think I’m at the end of chapter 2, it’s a big party at the camp with everyone. Like how I played Yakuza Kiwami 2 I took a loooooong detour to ignore the story mission and just go explore around. I fought a grizzly, got Revenanted, discovered a serial killer, got killed five times in a row by a mountain lion in the woods, got in a bar fight, got a raccoon hat, got falsely accused of murder and chased by the cops, found some treasure maps and got rich off gold bars, watched a vaudeville variety show, found a meteor, discovered dinosaur bones, found a lover’s murder suicide, got chased off a plantation, punched my horse, sat around watching some guy’s stuff, fought some outlaws with a machine gun and took a bath where a chubby girl scrubbed my unmentionables. This is a good game. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Aug 3, 2019 |

I'm probably never going to play RDR2 because it sounds like a really cool series of experiences wrapped up in a really bad game. Also because Rockstar is a bit of a slimy tax-dodging company that I'd rather not support. But mostly the first part.

Also because Rockstar is a bit of a slimy tax-dodging company that I'd rather not support. But mostly the first part. This is pretty much what I thought of it (though I wouldn't say it's 'really bad'), and I think I regret playing it to the end. The Witcher 3 is my favourite game so on paper I should probably love rdr2 (as an open world game with great story, sound and sense of place) but I found it to be a chore a lot of the time with moments of brilliance. If it was about half the length I think I'd like it a lot more. Arthur's core story and character I quite liked, but the side stuff didn't do much for me. And as had been said by others there's a few too many shooting galleries. That combined with the mediocre controls gets pretty old after a while. The first rdr was one of my favourite games at the time so my expectations were pretty high, but my taste has probably changed since then.

Hmm John came up with a plan to rob a train by putting a burning oil wagon on the tracks. I robbed an oil wagon and stashed it, and now John says to meet him at the oil wagon so that we can set it on fire and rob the train. John took off towards the oil wagon. (Scratches chin) hmm, what would Kiryu do? Guess I’m gonna go learn to fish

Its kinda nice to see they are still working on No Mans Sky, I've had a copy I got from a charity shop for what feels like 2 years and I've never really touched it but it seems like its gonna get to a stage where jumping in for the first time is gonna be a full experience edit: oh poo poo this is the VR update? this could be wild

I’ll say I think the “Cowboy Action” in RDR2 (I.e the gunplay) is definitely the worst part of the game and big reason it didn’t grip me. This is overwhelmingly the main game mechanic, shooting lots of dudes with cowboy guns, and it’s got extremely dated and simplistic 3rd person shooter controls.

RDR2 has an amazing world, a fairly good story and bad missions. This is truth.

The character moments and little scenes you run into are really, really well done. The problem is the gameplay in between each moment. Plus the controls and menu are bad. Play Days Gone instead.

I will also not be playing RDR2 because I don't really want to. But imagine it's because I am taking a bold and principled stand on the issues.

RDR2 controls are just like the controls in real life. So you just have to learn it like a baby learns and after a while it becomes second nature.Montalvo posted:If you want to play an already excellent space game on the PS4 just play Elite: Dangerous. I have both Elite and No Man's Sky, they scratch a completely different itch.

I loved RDR2 but even then the best I could say about the control scheme is that it is like driving a manual, clunky and outdated but becomes natural at some point.

Yeah No Man's Sky is about being the rudest, loudest space tourist on a road trip to the center of the galaxy, shouting at people speaking foreign languages you can't understand, and deciding along the way you wanna get involved in some robot race's weird techno-bullshit and take a vacation building dune buggies, while Elite Dangerous is about being a space trucker who gets pulled over by space cops and lands on colonies with the grace of a drunken cow.

GTA V and RDR 2 have a sort of stiff, "hey man don't look at me, you pressed the button" feel to the controls, almost like you've got an action figure of your little on-screen dude in your hands, and it either clicks and feels awesome or it feels like unplayable poo poo If you pressed the shoot button while falling/ragdolling in GTA, you were liable to fire your RPG directly into the ground, instantly killing yourself, even if the cameras wasn't pointed at the ground. I think there was even a button it combination of buttons that ragdolled you right where you stood, so it was possible to accidentally do this at any time. I don't know if that's entirely relevant, and reading back over it it sounds a lot like a serious complaint, so, go back to your businesses I suppose

Gripweed posted:OK, I take back what I said about Okami being good. QTE drawing sequences? When you're drawing with the drat thumbstick, and oh yeah the symbol you're drawing is flower if you're drawing it over a tree but means sun if you draw it over the sky so of course you're drawing it over a tree in the sky so if it's slightly off you get a sun instead and have to go all the way back to the start, and if you take your time to draw it just right well gently caress you there's a time limit so you go back to the start, and have to sit through the same interminably slow unskippable text that this fuckin game has, it took me ten goddamn tires to get through that tree blooming dance section. The good news is that these kinds of sequences are pretty rare. If this was the tree-blooming dance towards the beginning of the game, there is only one other sequence like it much later, and it is optional. There are a few other timed drawing sequences that I can remember, but they use Powerslash, so you just have to do straight lines in the right place. Also, those sequences let you do an immediate repeat if you screw up without sitting through interminable dialog.

The Wii version of Okami let you paint with the wiimote which was pretty much perfect, unfortunately it also had unique, differently bad control limitations like binding combat dodge to jerking the nunchuck around.
