Almost every sports video game has an AI thing dragging it down. When you play against the CPU, in any sports game, you can feel the AI cheating and loving with you if you start kicking its rear end too hard. When you play head to head, there's always a cheap "money play" or some exploit in the game design that you have to house rule out if you want to have any fun with the game, most especially in online play of any sort. Madden leagues are rife with this stuff and have been for over a decade. Somehow, there's always one or three things that work every loving time and the whole contest devolves into preventing and combating those design flaws. Which is weird because you'd think by now that developers could just use game play styles from users and translate them into the CPU AI to weed out cheap poo poo and discern what's broken. Family Guy (I think) even did a joke on it one episode with an old basketball game once.

Didn't Family Guy use let's play footage without permission and then the network copyright strikes the original owner?

Schubalts posted:Thing dragging Warframe down: DE_Steve This is the man, yes. I've posted before about his clownshoes game design and the list of bad ideas has only grown since then. More or less this man has been at the heart of nearly every bad warframe idea, defended the bad things he didn't do and even when the team is fixing the game, will get on the forums to argue about how no, in fact the game was good and everyone else is just bad at playing it.

Gann Jerrod posted:I had the same problem with Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Having to stop every 5 minutes to play jump rope or Bejeweled really soured me on the game. That's a pain but it wasn't quite as bad as I remembered last time I replayed it mainly because the last couple sequels felt like their lesson from that was to put "pad game length" as the first sentence on page 1 of the design document

Inco posted:Thing dragging Warframe down: Archwings loving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck holy poo poo I admit I'm partial to Archwings to a degree because they have a bit of a Freespace vibe to them, but I think the worst part isn't the gameplay itself, but that it's very reluctant to give you good weapons for its gameplay. The first ones it gives you are a straight-firing machine gun and a sword, neither of which is very good for a super-mobile game mode. My enjoyment of the Archwing stuff improved immensely once I ended up packing the Larkspur, which instead fires auto-locking lasers (picture Symmetra's old latching laser from Overwatch and you're close). When aiming isn't a huge priority anymore, suddenly Archwing missions got a whole lot more fun.

I would counter that the flight itself sucks balls. I'm flying forward, not touching the mouse and only holding W and Space, and I'm moving diagonally. I'm not trying to move left or right into a wall, but the game is forcing me into a wall for seemingly no reason. It's like trying to drive drunk in GTA4 or something. It's loving awful, top to bottom.

The Observation is fantastic for about 2/3rds of its length and then it moves from hard sci-fi to supernatural stuff and it gets way less interesting. Space is really scary by itself, that setting (if portrayed realistically enough) doesn't need spooky stuff to feel tense.

I was gifted Uncharted 4 a couple years ago and finally got around to playing it. It's been a real letdown to realize how much this game doesn't need me. It feels like maybe one step more interaction than a Telltale game. I don't want to poo-poo walking simulators - there are some I like, but I generally don't go for that. It's almost like they were teasing me when they had me play a level of Crash Bandicoot. There's a prison escape in like the 5th chapter where they toss you a gun and tell you to shoot your way out. I was curious if I could, so I didn't fire even one shot. I just took cover until the npcs killed each other, and the sequence played itself out. It's gorgeous and the acting is good. I think I need to drop it, and come back for it when I'm cooling off of a really difficult game or something.

Attack on Titan 2, hella fun, but its one of those games with a ranking system that doesn't tell you about what scores to hit. I get S ranks often but the occasional A rank because I either killed too little titans or took too long killing more. I don't know if I kill enough so its just me going around murdering every one I see and hoping I finish fast enough. Also the game ranks your kills depending on any mistakes you make, and sometimes it feels like the titan's hitboxes aren't where their body is. Especially when they're busy rag dolling around boulders, I'll be zooming into their spine and will suddenly get pushed back and told I didn't have enough speed or wasn't focusing on the body part like I attempt to attack. E: To add to the second point, there are also times where you're striking one titan and another gets close, so you hit it as well and generally, its not in a good position so you'll be marked for "bad angle" despite not even targeting that one.

Can we as a species move on from "and then a big beefy guy with a minigun shows up and he takes 1000 bullets to put down...but then you get to pick up the minigun and because you're a little scrawny idiot it slows you to a snail's crawl but maybe if you're lucky we'll spawn some fodder for you to shoot at so you can feel like a badass for a couple of seconds before carrying on like normal because otherwise it's completely impractical to use"?

Oh man, this is basically what's kept me from going back to finish it, and it's literally the first game I got for the system years ago. I want to love it so much, but it just feels so overdesigned and cinematic that there's not much to actually play.

I have been killed by the gold trimmed car in nuclear throne three or four times now. There's apparently a character unlock tied to this gold trimmed car. In order to get it you have to attack the car with a screwdriver. So to do this it requires having a screwdriver randomly spawn, find the car, and successfully attack said car. But the end of level portal blows up cars if it's too close, some of the enemies on that level explode, and the car explodes if it gets shot too much.

I played Uncharted Lost Legacy immediately after finishing Sekiro, which made it really off-putting how much the game basically prods and pokes you right the way through it. Shadow of the Tomb Raider nails that formula much better imo.

SoTR's puzzle designs in the challenge tombs are way beyond anything in any Uncharted game imo. Maybe Uncharted does big setpieces better, but they're basically cut scenes at this point.

I'm not even sure I knew Lost Legacy existed but I did enjoy the reboot Tomb Raiders (Tombs Raider?). I went back to the first one after giving up on Uncharted 4 and liked it enough to play through the rest. Whatever problems those games had, they at least gave me the gameplay that Uncharted felt like it was promising but not quite delivering.

I played through like 80% of Uncharted 1 at a friends' house and then like 40% of it on my own PS3 and now even though I have owned the remastered trilogy on PS4 for ages I still haven't fired it up because I feel like I should beat the first one first and I don't particularly want to play through all of it again. I liked the Vita one though, it was fun.

The first uncharted is not great. It was a ps3 launch title and it shows. Uncharted 2 is probably the best in the series imo

"Man, why did I stop playing Pokemon Go, outside of laziness?" Oh yeah, I'm at {whatever} city and there's pretty much no functioning maps in-game, so you have to hope and pray you're going the right route instead of properly knowing ahead of time.

Slow walking with a turret always bothered me, and it really stuck out in Halo 3. You’re strong enough to flip a multi-ton tank over but if you grab a turret you’re reduced to walking speed. I don’t even feel like it’s there for balance as the turret unmounted was awful and barely had any ammo.

Mea Culpa, I meant Pokemon Let's Go, not Go. Go is its own kettle of annoyances (mostly, like Ingress, either I'm full up on items or I'm utterly drained on em and ugh)/

Borderlands 2 Axton's special ability is just a bad Deathtrap, and Axton outside of the turret skills doesn't get anything interesting for himself that wasn't a skill Roland had. BL2Reborn does fix a good few of these issues, at least, yet I still see no reason at all to go for the survival tree when there's only two interesting skills (mag-lock and gemini, even then mag-lock only really works with the longbow turret SO WHY IS IT IN THE SURVIVAL TREE)Len posted:

There's 4 main levels, 3 shorter transition levels, and several side areas, for a total of 8 to 10 distinct tilesets But I agree, I wish nuclear throne had more content in general because what's there has already given me so many hours of fun. I want more
