Caesar Saladin posted:weapon durability is one of the only things BoTW did right Weapon degradation was good in System Shock 2 in the sense that it was another method to add to the tension and, at times, sense of frantic desperation (low/no ammo, health, etc). It'd be more obnoxious if the game didn't give you ways to address it with either a skill tree catering to handling that sort of thing, or more immidiete solutions like repair tools if you didn't have a high enough Repair skill. Thinking about it "realistically" would be profoundly frustrating, just "hmm yes I'm in a space station with significant technological advances present, yet all firearms I find and use crumble to dust after a few rounds". Hey just relax and just play the drat game lol "hey just have a relaxing SS2 session where you can chill out" Floodixor fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jul 23, 2021 |

Actually I think some of my favorite "crafting" was in Dead Space 3 where it was just "hey sure you're an 'engineer' so you can just smash together whatever two objects you want and get some frankengun and go wild", it was like a child's concept of what engineering would allow someone to do/make

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is entirely a child's concept of the capabilities down to outright appearance of actual hedgehogs, please sign my change.org petition to get the devs to ACTUALLY RESEARCH the subject matter of their games for gods sake. Sick of the inaccuracies and falsehoods they plauge the modern gamer who's just trying to get some authenticity in their Gaming Experience. What are some of the most "authentic" games, outside of like truck simulator 5000 and so on

i think it might be ripe replay time for sonic tbh, they are covering sonic 2 on the Watch out for Fireballs podcast next month and if nothing else it would be fun to cheat into being super sonic and zoom right through the game still never replaying sonic 3d though, that game was utter garbage

Oh yeah that's the part about sonic that sucks that i keep forgetting: special stages totally suck in sonic 1 and 2 and it's way too hard to get all the emeralds without save states

sonic 2 was dope because you could get a chaos emerald then reset the console and it'd somehow have magically saved all your emeralds. like saved in the RAM or something?? really blew my mind as a kid when i accidently bumbled on that one

Caesar Saladin posted:i love the phrase "it's good with mods though" I don't ever hear that phrase about Skyrim. More like Fallout 3 and New Vegas. When I played them on PS3, everyone I talked to lol'ed at me. For being such a Holy Grail, New Vegas' fans didn't have much faith in playing it without mods. But ya know, I kind of agree with your main point. Although I'm not sure how much of VTM Bloodlines is just plain unplayable and how much is unplayable due to technological advancement. Like, you need stuff to even run it on modern PCs, but I assume that wasn't the case in 2005 or whatever.

Mostly strikes me when they realise for all the talk about friendship they forget to show characters actually doing anything together besides fight the bad guys, so they have hastily thrown in scenes of characters eating (or rather, holding) popsicles.

I get if people hate Sonic because the series absolutely earned its awful reputation, but almost none of the things people hate about the series are in those games.

I'm not going to tell people how to play games (I happily would but you wouldn't listen) but I just do not get the point in modding a videogame I'm guessing people do it because they are in a situation of having a lot of free time and no money and so it becomes this desperate min/max attempt to squeeze as much time out of one game as possible? Skyrim seems to be the most quoted example, I think I put about 60 hours into Skyrim and got more than what I needed from it. Why would anyone want to just layer more and more bullshit into it? There are other, often better games to play...

I modded Resident Evil Village to have a wider field of view and a bit faster walkspeed. I modded RE2Make with different costumes. You can mod extra music into your game, you can mod out stuff that annoys you. If you hate weapon durability in BOTW you could just mod it out. Also modding morrowind to have better draw distance and some UI tweaks is a no brainer. Mods are great

Frostfall for e.g. turns it into a different game, where mountains are genuinely inimical and running through a stream can kill you. The various graphics mods just make it look better, and if you can push a button and make a game look better, why not do it? Modding is often just a few mouse clicks. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Jul 24, 2021 |
