Fallout 4 put too much emphasis on the game side of fallout and not enough on the story/world building side and it just felt bland and forgettable especially compared to new Vegas I watched Joseph andersons giant review and I basically agree with everything he said except I don't have the time or willingness to spend several tens of hours finishing a game I don't like

I got a wild hair up my rear end and restarted chrono trigger last night i didnt really Get JRPGs when i was a kid, and this time around i know how to grab an extra level and explore more for sekrits it's really fun. made it to 2300 AD in one session

I bought Grandia just for the intro music. I guess it could be a good game but I've not played it for more than how long it takes to get out of the town (like 40 000 hours since it's an ime). Not gonna post the music so Jraph doesn't promote me. e: I guess Grandia doesn't have anything to do with Chrono Trigger, apart from being 'nimes. I played CT on an emulator back in the 98SE days and it seemed OK but then I got Fallout on a cover disc and welp.

JRPGs own, you should try out some of the DQ games namely V, VIII, and XI. V has this adorable interaction where future you comes back to assure current you that everything is going to be okay.

I've been finding all sorts of stuff in the spare room I use for storage, while tidying it up. I think I might finally get around to starting Prototype properly, because I'm hankering for some skyscraper-scaling. (Unfortunately the boost time on the Fallout 4 jetpack is way too slow to traverse the tall buildings , I tried.) Last time I skipped all the exposition and just rampaged across the city running up walls and killing dudes.

Jenny Agutter posted:its an extremely good game for that Yeah it did the thing right that most games do wrong in that if you have superpowers you gotta be loving super. and also the controls. so many games gently caress up the controls. (why I've never beaten rear end'n'Piss Creep, for instance)

ShadowHawk posted:I read an entire article about how people that actually enjoyed Fallout 3 and 4 seem to have universally done this. They're very good exploration games with weak plots, so whoever ditches the plot first has the most fun. Yeah, Elder Scrolls games are good for just wandering and seeing what you find and generally having a good time. New Vegas had a really good plot with choices that matter, but in order for the choices to matter all your options had to be ambiguously lovely which means the game is mostly a downer.

a bunch of people didn't like the third one for some reason but i think it's the best of the bunch. it's one of those games where they just nailed the Feel of it perfectly. you feel like batman doing batman poo poo. i wish the same devs would make Oni 2

arkham knight has a lot of stuff that gets really tedious if you try to do it all, like tank battles and racing circuits and a few others. just drive around, do the story, punch the occasional mugger

Fanatical have a 24hr sale on where new deals pop up every hour or so https://www.fanatical.com/ Metro Exodus is currently the lowest its ever been on there, but I never played the first and tbh the couple videos I watched didn't grab me, it looked like it fell just between Fallout & STALKER. Door Kickers Action Squad looks like good simple fun and you can't argue for the price right now. edit: lmao when will I learn not to listen to my curiosity and not look up eg GAL*GUN 2 NoneMoreNegative fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Oct 12, 2020 |
