The total running minutes of action is very little and spread way out over those 4 1/2 hours. That's not the problem at all, it's that there is too much of it. It's the exact opposite of what you would expect.

finished Psychonauts 2 and I am blown away at how good it was. double fine has had such an up and down track record but this (bear in mind I have a 3D platformer bias) is my favorite western AAA game of the last decade incredible art direction, so much variety, fun to explore, a great mix of open and linear areas, and just an endless amount of cool ideas constantly being thrown at you you just have to accept that the combat is merely OK (and there's also a toggle in the assist options to make combat trivial so you can get through it quickly). it's not BAD, it can be fun in a button mash-and-dodge way, but I think they could stand to patch it to make your psi powers more, well, powerful in combat also you have to quickly get used to the first jump needing you to hold it down a bit to get the max height (rather than tap and get max height. maybe it was like this in the first game?). i got used to it by the end of the first level

Zaphod42 posted:We really need to come up with a term for "Movie-game" as opposed to "game-game". Not all games are trying to do the same thing, and for lots of them the gameplay is all there really is. With other games (Final Fantasy) the gameplay is just a thing you do between story bits, so there a "easy mode" makes total sense. But with games that are gameplay driven entirely, easy mode kinda just means not playing the game you paid for. If somebody wants to play a game that is "gameplay driven" with an easy mode that entirely removes that challenge, and they do indeed "not play the game [they] paid for", why is that a problem for you? Someone choosing to experience the game differently from you - even if it is in a way that you feel invalidates the developer's intended experience - does not magically make their experience with it worthless.

i liked psychonauts 2 a great deal but i think it(unsurprisingly) has similar flaws to the original. the platforming is fine but not great, often slidey or weird, raz could do with being a bit more "sticky" to stuff you can latch on to. most to all of the non-boss combat could be cut, and some of the new enemies feel like they were made for a different game and are kind of bad. your powers should in general recharge faster and be a bit stronger. often the enemies play like little doom eternal marauders with insta-dodges and the ability to just deflect or armor through stuff. there's not a ton of combat overall and almost every encounter is pretty short so it's hardly a fatal flaw, plus you can carry so many healing items that even if you were to actually come close to dying it never really matters. the back quarter of the game feels a bit weaker than the rest and there is the issue of the dialogue skip being weird and kind of unusable. i think the money vs badges economy is a little hosed. i don't play games in a completionist way so i didn't expect to get all of them but it felt like playing pretty 'normally' you'd have a chance to buy only a few of them, especially if you put any money into consumables or the various wallet size upgrades. it's still one of the games i've enjoyed most this year so don't take this post as knocking it, just that it's very much a sequel to the first game and it seems to have little to no interest in being more than that, which is of course fine. if you like the first i highly recommend this one and if you have gamepass you should definitely check it out since you've got it anyway.

I've noticed that Mercs 2 suffers a bit from empty open world syndrome in that the world they've created is so beautiful but it's so big that everything is spread out and there's a whole lot of empty space with nothing to do but admire the scenery and at the same time you're not spending enough time in places so you never get familiar with the world like you're learning your way around. One upshot though is the draw distance is loving insane. Like I can be deep in the Amazon and see skyscrapers right on the horizon that are halfway across the map and in the words of Todd Howard 'see that skyscraper? you can go there'. Venezuela is incredibly pretty

Someone choosing to experience the game differently from you - even if it is in a way that you feel invalidates the developer's intended experience - does not magically make their experience with it worthless. i can only speak for myself as a hard games liker but a big draw of them for me is the necessity of sitting down and figuring out The Hard Thing because once I do, hey, cool, now i can get onto the next Hard Thing. it's a really rewarding feeling and i've noticed that games which let me turn off that necessity are a lot less rewarding for me, personally, because then it feels like there's no point i don't think all games need to be hard and there have been a bunch of hard games that didn't need to be nearly as hard as they were, like hollow knight, but sometimes the difficulty is the point. sometimes the frustration and the tension and the eventual relief is the point. it feels good to game out of your gourd and get one over on something that's been kicking your rear end imo anyway

Developers are 100% entitled to their own vision in terms of a game's difficulty, but in turn, consumers are 100% in their right to question the presence or necessity of the difficulty. Lately this has trended towards fully customizable assists that seem agreeable to everyone except boomers who think you're corrupting the intended gameplay experience, whatever that's supposed to mean, so great all around.

every game should have system shock's sliders where you can turn the plot up or down from the default setting.I said come in! posted:How does what I posted give you the impression that Guilty Gear Strive put no thought into its movie?

That's not the problem at all, it's that there is too much of it. It's the exact opposite of what you would expect. I didn't get that impression, more words to say nothing is usually a sign of a bad writer which is probably what you'd expect from a fighting game.

Most fighting game storylines are total nonsense, but Strive's story is unfortunately the kind of nonsense that feels the need to explain itself with laborious exposition and characters making the anime thunk face over computer screens. But the explanations are themselves unsatisfying and chew up a ton of time that should have gone into action. The movie could have been 90 minutes long with absolutely nothing of value lost.

i think there should be standardised accessibility stuff, built into engines so small devs odnt have to implement it themselves, and then all difficulty options should be destroyed and games ship with one intended difficulty.

Lately this has trended towards fully customizable assists that seem agreeable to everyone except boomers who think you're corrupting the intended gameplay experience, whatever that's supposed to mean, so great all around. i agree that the trend is good, and one thing i hope to see is more player control over things like the speed of games. i love jrpgs as a genre but almost all of them would be better for me, a person who has been playing them for like three decades, if they had the option to makes parts of it just go much faster. you could argue that that means that the game should simply be faster, but i would not want to put my preffered pace on someone who likes to/can only play more slowly. difficulty and its implementation is hard to discuss online because often the conversation devolves into 'it is beatable so it is good' which is a pretty narrow way to analyze difficulty for stuff in games.

Even if not, if you're going to do 4 hours of anime cutscenes they may as well be a good 4 hours. Seems like a silly excuse. Which isn't to say its awful, I haven't gotten to play it yet. (Actually....tempted to pick it up now. I've never been good at guilty gear though)

Someone choosing to experience the game differently from you - even if it is in a way that you feel invalidates the developer's intended experience - does not magically make their experience with it worthless. Its not a problem for me at all, but the whole context of this conversation is people saying that these things should exist, attacking the developers for not providing it. They shouldn't have to. If they do, cool, sometimes its easier to do than other times. I'm just saying if the developers for a game don't, then it isn't really fair to demand they do necessarily, depending. Sometimes that game isnt' for you, cool, buy a different game instead. ONE YEAR LATER posted:"your not enjoying it in the right way" This is a gross misrepresentation of the entire context of this conversation. Really frustrating. We can't have actual discourse because goons just want to snipe things. Especially when I wrote literally paragraphs on how I feel most games shouldn't even have fail-states and easy modes are a good thing. Agh. I said come in! posted:Buy the PC version and use CheatEngine. One of the best parts of the PC platform. Built-in free gameshark! The thing is though I think a lot of the people demanding easy modes would recognize that a full on invincibility mode makes the game trivial and so kinda boring. If you really just want to see the story that works, but otherwise it may not satisfy people. Which is part of what I'm trying to dig into, difficulty and challenge can be hard to balance.

I need to find a good Ace Attorney Lets Player because I am garbage at those games but I do like the story sometimes. (easy mode player) I just always run into adventure mode syndrome where I know what the solution is but I'm not going about it in the right way or the right order or something and I get tripped up.

For that purpose it'd work fine, but then I gotta buy the game. I can stream it for free and I'm broke  That's cool they added that though, pretty sure the old ones didn't have that because I got stuck on DS. Or otherwise I missed it.
