The stealth in Metal Gear Solid is so good that when another poster bought me my Solid Snake avatar all the chain probes stopped because the mods couldn't find me anymore.

i liked the MJ/Miles sequences in Spider-Man except for the stealth, if that makes sense? like as little story vignettes/interactive cutscenes they're fine, but then the sneaking part should have exclusively been on rails with no way to fail

then again i also liked playing pipe dream for peter's science projects so apparently ALL the bad things are there for me :downs:


Yeah, I'm with you. As an on rails thing to slightly break up the gameplay for a couple of minutes and advance the plot I'd have been fine with them, but as a thing you could fail and have to retry they sucked.

Also I not only enjoyed the puzzles for the science projects, but I even liked pipe dreams as the much maligned hacking minigame in Bioshock 1. I'm pretty sure I'm fine and its everyone else who's wrong.

I always get triggered by the model of modern video game making where they just double down making more and more content for bad, already released games that no one cares about.

Nah, I'm completely the opposite; If you launch a full priced game with very little working content but a shiny roadmap of bullshit promises you should be legally obligated to produce every single thing on that roadmap as promised as long as at least one person bought the loving thing.

They don't need to remove the stealth with other characters in the next spider-man they just need to make them more fun and less annoying if you happen to do something they didn't intend so you see a fail state.

Fail the stealth section and they get bored with the story and you turn into Ghost Rider and burn the building down.

Towards the end of the game, MJ gets a taser, and her stealth sections start to play like regular Far-Cry-esque sneak-n-stabs, and reach the extraordinary heights of "fine"

Yes, they don’t need to remove the stealth segments. Just use the Mary-Jane portion in Grand Central station as the absolute lowest power level you can be, and improve from there.

Aim controller. Never tried it with a gamepad, it apparently works the same way but will likely just feel different to use. With the Aim controller, they do a good job of lining up your trigger hand with the actual in world trigger, though with some weird consequences with the machine gun and rocket launcher. Though the RL isn't wrong per say, just slightly unexpected given it's more aligned to be on your shoulder.

It's not like a perfect game or anything, but Darksiders 3's actually pretty fun! It's a cool little Dark Souls-like game with the most Metroidvania aspects in a 3D game I've seen since Arkham Asylum. They did a big combat change post launch (Called "Classic" mode) that fixes a lot of the concerns with it.

I'm not sure why it got such negative reviews at launch, as it's kind of the typical 7-8/10 scored game you'd see everywhere, but it's a pretty unique game with these blend of styles. You could do a lot worse than spending 10 bucks on this game when it's on sale.

How hard is it? I liked Darksiders 1 and 2 well enough, but the fact everyone describes 3 as dark souls-like implies to me a level of difficulty and repeated trial and error I dont personally enjoy and kind of puts me off it.

It's probably harder than the first two but it's not super hard, they added options to make the combat more like the originals so you can dodge cancel out of attacks and stuff and I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it has difficulty options too.

The stealth segments in SM specifically exist to give an idea of the menace and danger of each new villain faction. You get one for each and they serve to show you how terrifying those dudes are before you get back to Spidermanning and air combo their asses to death so that them being city-wide danger actually feels plausible.

It also serves to give characters agency without taking control from the player, especially for Miles who was being built up as second protagonist

Except that all it shows is the ineptness of the organizations and how terrible MJ is at self preservation.

Well they failed miserably if that was the goal. They suck, they're boring and tedious, and the worst sin of all: not fun.

MJ is legitimately successful in all of them. Peter in fact is the one who fucks up her success in the camp one.
(As far as hacking goes welcome to literally every super organization to exist ever.)

I think it's the fact that she puts herself in mortal peril to do something in a way that's 10x harder than having Peter do it, something that would literally take him maybe a minute to accomplish on the way to get groceries or something, that annoys me.

Like, say I drive but my partner doesn't. If she walked down the highway in sweltering heat to pick something up rather than inconvenience me, in order to prove she could, I'd think she was mad to risk heatstroke rather than just get me to go get it faster and safer in a car.

Edit: this is, of course, unrelated to the gameplay which is basically 'walk in a line and follow a script', something that is incredibly obvious on repeat playthroughs.

Every multiplayer game would be improved by shoving bots into every mode. Even lovely bots are fun to zone out with for some mindless killing or whatever. I spent a lot of time doing that as a kid with my fart tier internet.

Im not a huge Spider-man fanatic so its possible it's someone else but there's no way someone with a thick eastern European accent would be talking about looking for a challenge and such and it not being Kraven.

i think its morlun, kraven is the too obvious choice and given most of the first game was relatively new vilian mister negative, i suspect most of 2 will be relatively new village morlun rather than sticking with obvious fan bait and fan fav villains and poo poo, introduce new villain to those who havent read a comic book in 30 years. and poo poo kraven might be in the too but i think it was morlun speaking to venom and i get the feeling youll be playing as venom too.

I think about people with poo poo internet, or no internet, all the time when I play games now. They exist, they have money, they want to play video games, but between patches, accounts, games with no single player or terrible single player mode, they're kind of left in the dirt. With things like Game Pass clearly becoming the norm I only see it getting worse, possibly leading to an outlier population of extremely socially competent and athletic people outside of well-served areas
