I said come in! posted:I know one person that is really into it, and I don't understand why. The only thing it really has going for it is the gacha mechanic because the characters you can collect are pretty cool looking, but that is the only thing it has going for them. None of the characters though have any personality at all, or connection to anything familiar. The game hasn't had any crossovers with other games that I am aware of. It runs very well on the ps5 and looks nice but like... it’s a sloppy botw mixed with sloppy DMC combat with some element stuff thrown on to justify gacha rerolling to build the elements you need. I might actually like the combat but so far the gacha is so so stingy I have like only free characters and wouldn’t know

mcbexx posted:Aloy looks perfectly fine.  BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Yeah that, but additionally I was only half joking about the general face bias of Guerilla, them dudes are a bit distinct and have strange ideas about 3D face design going way back to their early projects, and I don't know if it's local cultural bias (likely!) or just some influential people at the studio who gravitate towards the sort of ultraflesh of 16th Century flemish art, but their house style is pretty unmistakable to me and also very very weird. For sure. I think the reason the faces in Horizon get brought up is that they trigger this uncanny valley response more than a lot of games. If you look at a Bethesda game the faces just kind of look like poo poo, like someone who can't draw very well had their creation realized in 3D, Bioware characters look like blow up dolls. There isn't much to talk about there they just look bad. But in Hoirzon, the faces are well designed, but there is something about the way they are stylized and the less than perfect animation that can trigger a weird response from some people. I definitely agree it's a style GG uses that predates Horizon. And I don't personally dislike it, but it definitely causes these brief moments sometimes where things look off and I'm just like "agh, get it off the screen"

The world of Genshin is fun to explore and I liked doing all the little puzzles and stuff but somewhere around adventure rank 35+ doing anything involves hours of grinding the same bosses and dungeons over and over again to ascend your characters and weapons, unless you want to turn the world level down and get zero rewards for anything. I checked out then rip

Vikar Jerome posted:its the motion of it, i think because its a designed model and not a face scan and other characters are face scanned? i dont know, death stranding didnt have this problem. but the movement of her face during the cutscene looks noticeably weird. like in that static screenshot it looks fine but in motion? doesnt flow correctly. will probably get fixed, im sure they read our posts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUpPYvELLB8

Bust Rodd posted:https://twitter.com/kotaku/status/1398706416827998216?s=21 I’m way more into the idea of it being bot based at least. The core gameplay was okay I guess but I’m tired of multiplayer games. It might better if I could just boot it up and work over some mediocre bots for a half hour while I wait for food delivery or something.

The Walrus posted:I am trying to pick up HZ:D again after like two years. I'm further along than I thought, level 18 and I guess I did go to Meridian, it's visible on the world map anyway. But I'm just not getting this - I'm picking back up at the bottom of some grave hoard, and I've got to kill this armoured tank and like 8 really tanky dudes. I have no idea how to dodge some of these attacks, the square slide sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I really kind of hate the controls, the running feels so weird coming off of the incredibly smooth Returnal. I've managed to kill all the bad guys but then I get murdered by the tank - the tooltips tell me to use shock bombs to expose the weak points and then hit them with fire arrows, which I've tried a ton of times but don't seem to do more than chip damage. I don't seem to have a bow that can equip shock arrows even though I have them in my arrow inventory... the inventory and menu system itself is fairly inscrutable coming in cold, I kind of just want to restart but I didn't like the beginning all that much and it seems like I might now be getting to 'the good part' but I'm at a very bad part to get there. I dunno. Think I'm just gonna play some Nier. Pour fire arrows on the Deathbringer, he'll overheat and expose the cooling rods or whatever they are. When they pop out, hit them with either hard point or precision arrows. If you're feeling really uppity, hit them with your blast sling. For basic movement, just stay back and keep diving in a wide circle around it.

Bust Rodd posted:https://twitter.com/kotaku/status/1398706416827998216?s=21 The gameplay itself was quite fun. I think I put more hours into it than most people (15 maybe?). Sadly it was a colossal failure in every other conceivable way. Some of the worst netcode I have ever seen. Half my deaths would just be me cruising around at full health and randomly exploding. Dire lack of levels and modes, the funnest modes being gate kept to solo and being unable to play in a party. It ha obnoxious character design. I don't think I talked to anyone that liked it. Baffling gameplay design at times. Worthless unlockable stuff. Like, they are trying to sell you premium currency for 5 palette swaps for each character... It's really the poster child for how to do everything wrong in a multiplayer game. Which is sad because I thought the bones of it were good enough it could have been a success, but they royally hosed up absolutely all of the little stuff and even a lot of big stuff.

All the off-topic and no content posting in my name is needless so let's spare the thread from now on. Are we in agreement, which surely the mods would tremendously appreciate? Artists have a painterly touch and there's no doubt you gentlemen can throw umbrage at me in subtle and creative ways as to keep the thread hospitable. Help me out, please!

And if you do Survival, you can die within ten seconds of getting control of your character and then you have minutes to wait to try again. Mayhem mode was not inherently more fun but it guaranteed a certain amount of playtime and reinforced it being the default mode. And the problem with having a preferred, default mode is that several of the characters are clearly designed to be good in some modes and not others so you end up being and fighting against copies of a limited number of characters.

The single worst thing to me was that it basically outright discouraged playing with friends. The two team based modes were mediocre and even when you were playing with a group it was impossible to coordinate in any way because there was really no way to tell who was who, due to the tiny name plates and your party members having the same badge color so there was zero potential for team work. Ultimately the only thing all of wanted was to play mayhem, the most fun mode and smash into each other and play against each other, but that mode was blocked from playing in a party. There was just no incentive to gets friends together to play which seems really bad for an online game.

Catching the ball in knockout city seemed super random and I hate the “dodge” move that doesn’t actually dodge poo poo. Otherwise it seemed decently fun. Not a fan of the art direction though.
