jesus WEP posted:what’s so bad about the save system at least on pc, there's only one save at a time, so you can't start a second playthrough without deleting your first. this means the chapter select destroys all progress past the start of the chapter you start. at least in my experience the saves were also prone to corruption if the game crashed also it used to be that you always had to respawn at a control point which for bosses meant the retry loop was pointlessly long as you have to walk all the way back to the boss

in one of the DLCs they gave you the ability to replay on demand the only part anyone ever wanted to replay so that took some of the sting out of it. still no excuse for not allowing more than one save slot

Dark Souls forces you to juke your way back to most boss fights and it does have its upsides. It gives you time to reset your tilt and also makes you concentrate on dodging the enemies along the way to further reset your impulses along the way to the next attempt. Sekiro patched in a boss rush mode that lets you just charge straight back in to whatever boss fight you want (though you have to beat each boss in-game before they show up in boss rush obv) and the later games do put checkpoints right before the tougher boss fights, I feel like it loses something from that change but it is certainly less frustrating too so idk. It's easy to get stuck in a loop of failure against, say, Gael in DS3, because you spawn right back at his fog gate and it's just straight back to dodging and poking right away almost like the fight never ended.

I just watched the bf2042 trailer and oh my god I forgot about my absolute favourite thing: strapping detpacks to the atv and yoloing it into the side of a tank if I can do that with the electric tuk tuk in the trailer then goty 2021 as far as I'm concerned also lol at the trailer implication that nobody can fly planes or helis for poo poo except for the one guy doing aerobatics and jumping out of the plain to rpg another jet then getting back in

microsoft buying bethesda working out as expected: not so much exclusives as that they're just putting everything on game pass right from launch. the value is ridiculous and will apparently keep getting better.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:breath of the wild is the best game of the last decade. maybe of all time, strong contender at least. agreed. anyone can pick up and play it. I was dating someone when that game out and she wasn’t a gamer at all, but saw me collecting poo poo to cook stuff and run around. I put it down to go cook actual dinner and she was running around collecting ingredients and stocking up my food supply. a week later she was clearing an occasional shrine to get more stamina. then like a week or 2 after that she killed her first guardian tower thing, whatever the outdoor tracking beam ones are called. that game was so loving good I might buy it again for the switch (I played on wii-I), although I saw someone play it on a wii-u emulator at 60fps (faster than the switch) and it looks really nice.

my son and i were playing earlier and were trying to figure out how to get across the really cold river. i came up with a plan that involved cutting downs trees (there was an axe buried in a tree nearby, leaving a strong hint), floating them down the river, and then using the logs to get to a little sailboat that was tethered to a partially ruined dock. i knew it could work, but it was tricky, and i died multiple times when I’d slide off the logs into the water. my son picks up the controller, climbs a nearby cliff, and just walks around the source of the river at the top of the plateau, getting to where he needed to be. it was very humbling.

Jon of MATN did a DorfRomantik first-look video a while back, absolutley not my cuppa gamewise but it looks pretty enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTdcivGhiyA Also I watched the latest FO4YOLO just now and I was hella bored, I don't think much of the Nuka-World DLC at the best of times and it showed in this episode, a lot of boring wall climbing interspersed with a few bits of ill-considered action against Bloodworms. He's down to roughly half-health at the start of NW with all of Far Harbor, Automatron and the rest of the base game to go, I don't see this run lasting the distance tbh.

the art direction looks cool, but even in their own trailer, the animations look pretty bad. i saw it on one of iron pineapple's round up of soulslikes, and he was pretty hard on it. seemed pretty buggy and derivative. did they polish it up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmxnZd1gI_c&t=1182s

been playing Returnal a lot. it's super pretty and super hard. sometimes super unfair too, when the first room after a fresh respawn is one of the big difficulty spike arenas and you have to deal with a half dozen flying guys and a half dozen turrets and a big guy chasing you around and all you have is the basic peashooter. it really is an over-the-shoulder version of housemarq's normal arcade shooter style with all that entails, plus horror and sci fi weirdness I did lol though when I reached the big shocking midgame twist and it's basically a high-tech high-budget version of this old comic:

returnal looks like it could be fun, is there much of a sense of exploration though? Or does the procgen stuff start repeating really quickly? speaking of exploring, is Hytale ever going to come out?
