mgr owns obviously but cutscenes should always be in engine so you get to see your costume. mainline mgs games got this right

 agreed, partly because engines and pre-rendered scenes are almost identical now and partly because it's more consistent to the other 90% of the game saint's row 3 allowed me to be pimp silver surfer and respected that decision

Slipways continues to pull at my brain. I don't think it will be as enduring of a puzzle as Slay the Spire was, but it's definitely just the right combination of "quick decisions snowball into late game problems" to drop a half hour on once or twice a day.

DuckConference posted:I liked the song but I felt like it was trying too hard to be the cool part of the game or something. I remember the Alan Wake version of the concept fondly though (pyrotechnic concert stage thing) The scenery shifting was mildly entertaining but it was basically the same combat as in the rest of the game, except with a better soundtrack. Basically what I'm saying is Control was badly in need of more and better listenable music.

i was getting towards the end of dragon age: inquisition, whihc if you arent familiar is a game where you go around meeting various other characters who join your party and become cool allies with gear and everything. we finally get to a cut scene and its me and all of my friends squaring up to face the big bad. not just the 4 i usually use, all of them. anyway, there we all are shouting encouragement and threats, when some guy with a toy shield and wooden sword chimes in. i figure he's an NPC who will be dead in two seconds and this is an absurd joke. but after a big fight hes still there with us, cursing the fiend we're trying to kill. i realized that i had played through the entire game without ever meeting this guy who's a central part of the plot. anyway we finished the game and i got a great new story for parties

i always thought it strayed too far from HL2s alien blasting secret science feel and turned into generic dystopia future with headcrabs and physics. it's a fun game but I want to shoot cool new aliens not masked soldiers and the vehicles are just downright bad

hl2 was fun as hell the first time i played it, im totally a sucker for tech demos disguised as games tho. hl2 wasn’t the worst offender by far but it def feels a little dated now. it was the first shooter with ragdoll physics iirc, they didn’t let you forget that with the amount of explosive barrels they had lying around

I played through HL2 once in the week it was released and never again, and it was fine. For some reason they used a super-narrow FOV though and it made me violently ill if I played more than an hour.

on the screen resolution i originally played it at, you'd be running around doing cool poo poo and then you'd suddenly stop and your view would start rising, and you'd look up and go "oh another stupid loving barnacle" it was much better when i replayed it in slightly higher definition and could actually see the tongues

hl2 was not the first fps with ragdolls but it was the first to base a lot of its gameplay on the physics engine. everything before that uses it as a neat gimmick that didn’t really affect anything that mattered hl2’s physics puzzles are almost all of the form “build a pile of stuff here until something happens” but no other game had done that before either

Weren't they all "build a pile on one end of the see-saw to lift up the other end", with the see-saw occasionally replaced by a system of pulleys?

I think there was at least a few object-on-a-switch triggers in Uru, which was also a popular first-physics-engine puzzle. i only vaguely remember it because i have memories of something half-assed rolling over and thinking to myself 'poo poo, if that didn't trip right i'd be hosed and have to do this whole age over again'. It was either in the early beta/MMO release/offline version, all were single-player experiences because it was so sparsely played at the time If it wasn't a gimmick implementation, there was a lot of frustrating design in early havok physics-based games that would screw players over in ways hl2 avoided with better design

It's a bit like I entered an alternate reality with a different Skyrim, but I couldn't connect with the story. Why should I care who rules these lands? Oh, that was in the last two games? okay  the netflix series did a lot to fill in the blanks, but that's enough for me edit: I didn't mind the gameplay, but potioncraft (much like in Elder Scrolls games) bores me and I could tell I was missing out on a chunk of expected strategy and planning Agile Vector fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Jan 7, 2022 |
