WILDTURKEY101 posted:Cerebral Bore most of the guns in Turok 2 are really loving satisfying. The Mag 60 pistol and Shredder shotgun, especially the latter with explosive shells, are immensely satisfying. The standard Pulse Rifle has a great feel to it. And both the Grenade Launcher and TripleRocket Launcher are great. The Tek Bow is also great--that moment when you stick someone with a Tek arrow and get to enjoy that countdown screech before it detonates rules. Oh, and the Razor Wind is a murder chakram that turns Turok into the most violent warrior princess ever. s'good poo poo. but the Cerebral Bore is so drat memorable that no one remembers anything else.

Cerebral Bore is so good that Turok: Evolution tried to one up it with the Swarm Bore which launched five bores that target all limbs... but no on gave a poo poo because more doesn't equal better when it comes to a homing lobotomy missile.

It’s not FPS but one of my favorite weapons in a game was the Groovitron from Ratchet and Clank.

Mescal posted:calling online games esports as if being a sport would be a boost in prestige was dumb They didn't just call it esports they copied sports (at least in my eyes as a none sports watcher). You got your idiot hype person who says nothing of worth but acts excited and energetic and may or may not know much of anything about the game. You have your blazers, I mean gotta look professional. That of course is assuming they fit, and the person wearing them acts/is comfortable in them. Anyway they took a model with a proven track record and applied it to video games. It kind of works, I guess but doesn't exactly improve on the formula.

Removing gear degradation was the worst thing Fallout 4 did. If you had to keep repairing weapons and especially clothes, you'd keep changing it up. As it is you find one good suit and a few good weapons, and keep using them for the entire game.

Counterpoint: Item durability is some of the worst feeling mechanics to ever have 'tacked on' to a game. There are some games where it works since it's a fundamental part of the core loop (e.g. "you are on a leaky ship, keep stealing new ships before you sink"), but for the vast majority of cases it's just awful busywork. If your game would have been improved by its addition, your game must really fuckin suck.

the SaGa games have a pretty good take on durability. everything breaks eventually, and you can never repair anything. it gives value to powerful weapons, and paired with the limited inventory space and poor sell prices, it encourages you to just use them! you'll get more. except for the chainsaw. there's only one of those but you knew that already

That’s not how most people use “one time items” or things that are good for just a few uses: they usually end up never getting used as the person’s brain goes “but what if I need it later?” And then end up handicapping themselves. It’s not satisfying at all.

It’s not satisfying at all. Rise of the Triad is the only game I can think of where it works well. You can't hoard powerful weapons because you can only carry one at a time, so you actually have to use it or lose it.

It’s not satisfying at all. It's a big problem in JRPGs in particular where items are basically siloed off from the rest of the mechanics and often vague about what exactly they do. And usually barely worth it compared to just using your standard and special attacks- or so powerful that they go straight in the 'but what if I need it later' box and you get the near-universal experience of fighting the final boss with an inventory loaded with an entire game's worth of items. RPGs in general have big issues with that, I think they expect players to experiment a lot more than any actually do, especially when you can generally get by just focusing on the core mechanics rather than mucking about with status effects (that all enemies they might be worth using on are immune to)

That's also a reason why inventory space and encumbrance can actually be useful, because there's a reason to use stuff not long after you get it to make room for new stuff, and an opportunity cost to carrying equipment.

I appreciate the limited inventory in the Dragon Quest and Mother games, although I think it works best in Mother 3 where key items are kept in a separate inventory from the consumables. Each character having their own inventories does add a lot of busywork shuffling items back and forth and limits how useful they can be in battle though. You can only carry one Leaf of the World Tree so better hope the person who has it doesn't die. Not only is there a character that calls you out for hoarding items in Mother 3, but there are too many unique items for you to actually carry. You bet I still kept my Pasta-with-a-Past to the credits.

if your game has a limited inventory it better have a really limited inventory. "I can only carry 5 swords, should I drop the sword of goblin-slaying or the sword of fire" can be an interesting decision. "I've been ignoring inventory limits for the past 7 hours but now I suddenly hit it and have to scroll through 250 different kinds of crafting ingredients to figure out which ones are heaviest and which ones are least likely to be useful later on" is absolute hell on earth.

This has as much to do w/ bad inventory mechanics as it does the bad loot/economy mechanics that require you to scavenge 10,000 swords, carry them to town and sell them to pay for things you actually need
