Glad to see that Ghost and Goblins Resurrection is forgiving with the difficulty. I played the Capcom Arcade version that was free and was thinking why the gently caress I would buy a modern version of that game, because I the Rewind feature was the only way I found the classic enjoyable.

The game is full of stuff like that the worst thing about these is they don't get any faster when hardware improves the next area loads in 0.1 seconds on your fancy new SSD but you've still got to watch an animation timed to last however long it took to load off a 2.5" HDD

I just don't get why a detail like that would significantly impact someone's enjoyment of a game when it counts for 1% of the playtime, and would just be a loading screen otherwise.

I still don't see how repetitive button mashing is any better but hey the cool thing is emulation exists and you can play all your old games all you want, and they'll look even better than the originals + you can patch stuff etc. I'll stick to my new games, haven't even gotten around to playing critical hits such as outer wilds, subnautica, and even ff7r because there's so much really good new stuff in my backlog and I only get about an hour to 2 hours to game at night  Old God of war is not my cup of tea personally, the new one is a decent adventure/action game with pretty dang good production values and really neat environments

I personally find the masked loading screens that are all over the place fairly annoying and I'd rather have proper load screens. New God of War is ok tho

American McGay posted:Is it forgiving? This guy gave it a 4/10 because it was too hard for him, even though by his own account it's a great remake that perfectly captures the spirit of the old game, lol. It seems like there is a difficult setting where you can re spawn instantly where you die and not at a checkpoint. Basically saying if you want to just play through the game casually you can and then gradually up the difficulty. But it seems to have two check points, one before the boss and one midway through the levels, as well as the ability to bump the difficulty down for a level if you die frequently enough. I don't know what this guy was complaining about... yeah, hard mode is hard, but it's not the only difficulty and you don't have to play it

The combat tries to be Souls-like but with less responsiveness and the close camera angle gives you poor feedback when surrounded by multiple enemies which happens a lot

The new God of War has very poor enemy variety compared to the older ones. Seems to be a common trend these days

I love God of War 2018, but it has so many moments like this and it's really annoying. The only thing I can think of why is to mask level load times, because otherwise stuff like this is so unnecessary. Its cool at first, but you come across these moments so much in this game. Naughty Dog is especially guilty of building levels like this, so its not just God of War, but a game industry trend in general for this genre.

Oh yeah new God of war doesn't stack up to from soft action, it definitely feels loose and unsatisfying compared to the greats. But it's certainly a step up from brainless button mashing imoLen posted:It's fine that's why we have cloud streaming You think it's viable right now? Man I wish I liked cloud gaming because the concept is okay but the execution has been disappointing, maybe it'll get there now that the pandemic is making Americans think about their comms infrastructure a little more

Some people thought the last Unreal Engine tech demo had a masked loading section, because the character had to slow down and squeeze through a crevice. They expected loading when there wasn't any.

Naughty Dog is especially guilty of building levels like this, so its not just God of War, but a game industry trend in general for this genre. AAA third person 'platforming' sections which play themselves and require no meaningful input from the player are the worst. Uncharted has alot to answer for for convincing people that ledge climbing is gameplay

It also did not need to be open world. Stoked for Republic Commando.

I managed to wear out the a button on my 8-bitdo controller thanks to animal crossing, so the button would stick occasionally. Taking it a part its the rubber membrane part had splt, after putting it back together it's not that bad but you can still tell somethings not quite right with it. Has anyone had any luck with their support? I thought maybe I could just use a SNES membrane from ebay because it's pretty much just a snes controller with analog and more buttons but the design is different. I guess I might as well buy a pro controller now, as much as I like the 8-bitdo the battery life isn't very good and I can see why cuz the battery is tiny.

GOW18 goes out of its way to present itself in an extremely "cinematic" tone with the camera movements and extended animations and the gameplay overall suffers for it.

I mean clearly this means every Metroid Prime game is bad because it has masked loading screens. I don't really care about these, but the worst I've seen was in Code Vein, where between areas there were long corridors with nothing in them - the map would vanish temporarily, the game would hiccup noticeably (and I normally don't notice that), and then the next map would appear.

I contacted support and they shipped me replacement pads but it took like three months to arrive from China. In the meantime yeah I used a SNES membrane I bought somewhere but keep in mind it's not an exact fit still. Most likely you'll need to cut a bit of the rubber off to get a fit. Also you should buy a pro controller anyways, it's way better IMO.

A Pro version is sorely needed or we are going to lose some ports that just cannot be done on the Switch Unfortunately that's not going to happen. Silicon and semiconductor shortages are so incredibly bad that it would be insane to release a new console right now, and Nintendo is so gun-shy they wouldn't be willing to make that risk.
