Superbunnyhop points out that in Japanese ‘FOXDIE.... Je nai!’ sounds a lot punchier and just not awkward like ‘FOXDIE.... think again!’ In English. And it’s just funny comparing the two. But I didn’t even watch the other video I accidentally posted, but now I will haha thank you for the tip. https://youtu.be/V6T7UsL1ifY

I watched some of that Cyberpunk stuff and there is absolutely nothing in there anyone would care about seeing it's bits of random missions and it's not even in english. I'd say the biggest thing about it is a reality check that it just looks like a normal game and not some brain melting step into the future of gaming like people are hyping up in their heads. The environments are a little disappointing tbh Escobarbarian posted:Could you turn the difficulty down for just that one section? I can’t remember if you can turn it up and down at will. I think so.

It's so bad compared to fire. You have to hit it’s arms, or spend that time casting Manawall and sorting your poo poo out and generally just prepare for it’s dumb dive bomb attack (I used the revival earrings for something similar or if you have manawall and magnify, cast that when it goes into its flying phase), because at least it seemed like, for me at least, that was the one thing that could one shot you. If it’s got it’s shield up, and you’re desperate for ATB, try to hit it’s arms or switch to Aerith and build up ATB with either her regular attack or the heavy attack and don’t use offensive magic. Also blocking or going into punisher mode and holding block (which I found out way too late is just a good idea to do in general as you’ll counter attack automatically if you get attacked while blocking in punished mode) will fill your gauge faster. I’m sure you know but once you’ve assessed something you can press the touch pad and see it’s current weakness, if you’re like me an panicked and forgot what one or two of the colors indicated it was weak to. Also yeah, blizzard is hard to use, but similarly if an enemy casts it on you and you’re not staggered and can move, you can simply roll away from it before it explodes and take 0 damage, so you just have to use it when you’re certain the enemy won’t move. I thought this sucked too at first but now that I’m on ng+ on hard mode I don’t hate it, fire and lightning basically hit every time, and aero has a delay because it also closes the distance between you and the enemy, and blizzard is usually viable and not that difficult to land on the enemies that are weak to ice. I always assumed Cyberpunk would be basically just like The Witcher 3 or GTA 5 but with a neon futuristic city and didn’t understand why people thought it would be more than that, like the pre rendered trailer is impressive, and of course it would be cool if the game was anything like that, visually, but yeah I personally just also don’t like that genre of game. Still though, not sure why people expected something vastly different to any other big budget game with a similar setting and genre (or I mean, a metropolis setting), and assumed the augmentation stuff and whatever futuristic technologies would set it apart but also not be that ground breaking, but who knows, it could be. And also I totally called Cyberpunk leaking like right after mods handled the TLOU stuff, but I predicted a racist guy would come and leak it and i guess maybe it didn’t even leak so maybe I didn’t call it. But if anything did leak that’s pretty wild. imhotep fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Apr 28, 2020 |

Vikar Jerome posted:finally beat death stranding holy poo poo that end run is incredible. beautiful ending. beautiful, beautiful game. Death Stranding mega spoilers Amelie resurrecting baby Sam created re-patriots, but the death stranding had already happened by that point. The death stranding (BTs showing up when people die and the appearance of chiralium) seems to be a natural phenomenon that occurs every so often to wipe out life. The d.s. is helped along by the appearance of an extinction entity (a randomly chosen life form that ends up with a strong connection to the beach). BTs can use the e.e.’s beach to appear in larger numbers. Amelie is the first e.e. that is an intelligent, self-aware life-form.

yeah the only way I beat the Hellhouse was by judicious use of Barrier and Manawall. Every buff spell in FF& is worth using in big fights, and speccing into Buff Duration is also good.

Nioh 2 is an odd duck. After a personal triumph of learning to beat the second boss which I found extremely hard to deal with, the diablo-esque loot vomit of the game and easy levelling has made this more of a power fantasy than I expected. I think I’m still having fun, but I’m yearning for the wide open lonely multipath exploration of Dark Souls, Metroid, or Zelda games. What other games best capture the exploration part of the soulslike/metroidvania experience? It seems like most of the pretenders to the From Throne focus on the combat and boss part.

Lmao same, like I think of it as the hardest fight but it’s just because it takes so long. Reno and I don’t know if you’ve gotten to that bit yet, but it’s a similar fight in that part of the game, but both killed me two or three times and are both probably way harder but just aren’t nearly as long so they don’t seem as hard. The hell house is just not a good fight, but it gets away with it because of how over the top it is and how they turned a regular enemy from the original into a spectacle of a fight.

I think I’m still having fun, but I’m yearning for the wide open lonely multipath exploration of Dark Souls, Metroid, or Zelda games. Hollow Knight is the first thing that comes to mind (and it is one of my favorite games). Though if you're a metroidvania fan you might have already played it. Ashen is also a really cool Souls-like with some really neat dungeons, but don't go into it expecting a AAA game. It doesn't slavishly follow the Dark Souls formula. Hyperlight Drifter is really good and borrows a bit from Zelda and Dark Souls. Very heavy on combat and exploration. I enjoyed it a lot. RE2 remake oddly scratches the Metroidvania itch, too. It's really good if you haven't played it. RE3 remake is a little disappointing in comparison. Immersive sims like Prey also come to mind.

On the other hand... il serpente cosmico posted:Immersive sims like Prey also come to mind. Prey isn't a metroidvania, more in the System Shock mold, but it's definitely a game about exploring a big creepy space station by your lonesome. The combat isn't good but the exploration and mood are perfect.

A small moment I remembered well from Prey - I was in a room that had some loot behind a large, immovable object. I was bummed because I couldn't move the object since I hadn't invested in the ability to lift heavy poo poo. I hadn't used the Recycling Charges much, but on a whim I used one to see if it'd suck up whatever was in my way so I could get the loot. To my surprise, it actually worked. Most games want you to do things in a such a specific way with such limited verbiage, it felt really refreshing to have a game accommodate creative solutions like this.

It's things like that that put it a step above of the likes of the modern Deus Ex's despite being arguably less polished/enjoyable to play. It's a shame it'll never get a proper sequel and the team that made it dissolved

I gave Doom (2016) another chance. Console controls aren't as bad as I originally thought and I'm having fun, but only after turning the difficulty way down. I can't imagine doing all the insane acrobatic combat someone else was showing video of a couple weeks back in Eternal- let alone dealing with all the new weapons and mobility stuff- but I am liking this first one, finally.

I’m actually down now that I don’t have anything else on my backlog really, around the time it came out I was actually excited about playing it with you but then none of my other friends got it and also like every good game that came out last year came out right after, (besides Sekiro which came out 6 months before but I was still playing it repeatedly). But that sounds so good rn, I need to reinstall it and get used to the new monsters and levels. Edit: although I did impulse buy Journey to the Savage Planet and wanna play it, also a game that I need to convince a friend to get while it’s on sale.

Okay I'm done with the main game of Spider-Man and on to the dlc, but what is the best way to deal with the fat guys? They have been my bane through pretty much the whole game and seem even worse in the dlc. What's the easy way to deal with them gadget wise? Sometimes I just get annoyed and pop quad damage but they are seriously the worst and if you get hit twice they can chunk you down to 1/3 health.

I'm kinda getting fed up with Bloodstained. I thought it was going to be Symphony of the Night pikr, but it's actually a Order of Eclessia but grindier. The game wants you to grind hard but it's neither interesting or rewarding. A lot of is literally constantly revisiting old areas to open respawning treasure chssts.

Web them up using whatever webber of choice, web bombs or just the usual quick shot usually does the trick, and hold triangle to either chuck them into other dudes or into a wall. If they’re webbed up and smack into something they get stuck to it for an instant knockout.
