Resident Evil 8 is very fun so far, but it does one thing early on that annoys me every time in any game that tries it: It puts you into an unwinnable fight where you have to "die" to make a cutscene play that advances the plot. I have never seen any game do it well, and RE8 is no exception. I just ended up running in circles around the area thinking I was just missing the way out, until eventually I got bored and realised I was probably expected to let the enemy kill me.

That's good to know ahead of time. The RE2 remake had a variant where your supposed to dodge for a while, then run away and let the monster chase you to an environmental trap to take care of it. Only it was dark enough that I missed the exit for a while and spent minutes running around cheering through my whole inventory thinking surely this round will finish it off.

I think it's in the perfect medium where the magic system is still mostly as wild and breakable as it is in Morrowind, while the game's got AI and physics that's believable enough to really make you feel the total nonsense you made. It doesn't hold up as a big, serious game, it holds up as a Terrible Wizard Simulator.

Apropos of nothing but I am reminded of the big stupid spider crab thing in RE5 which operates similarly: does the game have any spiders or did they abstain? I know like most of the RE games have spiders but they've been relatively good about it lately and I want to go into it as blind as I can. They're like an RE staple in a way and it really sucks because Village is like the place to make a big spider hide in a pile of leaves and that'd be sadly legitimately too real for me.

The thing is, I played most of the big Sony exclusives last gen and they felt like a race to the top to develop awesome photo mode features, and none of them pulled that poo poo. Then it shows up here, in an uninspired bare-bones version. Just let your game sell itself, everyone will know where the picture comes from and they'll respect the work so much more if you don't stamp your name across it at every opportunity.

Also when was "it's their work so they can dictate what you do with it" ever a valid take? No thanks, bro. Resist that poo poo for the little things because it'll start creeping into the big things, that's how Dead Space 3 got microtransactions and Visceral got absorbed into the Battlefield mines by EA.

christmas boots posted:If you'd like to outpace the curve in a very major way, Operation Anchorage makes Stealth/Melee builds a cakewalk and The Pitt gives you a silenced weapon that makes Ranged Stealth one as well I just formulated a to-do list because I didn't realize until like, level 10 or so that a shitload of melee's potential power hinges entirely on the Ninja perk's whopping 15% bonus crit chance, which needs 80 goddamn Sneak. (I never run Sneak builds in these games so it was not at all a priority.) So my next step is to beeline for the most important bobbleheads (plus a bunch of skill books) I'm missing to help get me there. Which then made me realize a few of them are gonna turn me into deathclaw bait which means I have to go assemble the dart gun first... While I'm not happy that they basically force you to go melee/sneak to get the most out of melee, I'm at least glad to have a concrete goal to work towards and there's a lot of convenient overlap with stuff I was already going to be doing anyway. Ugly In The Morning posted:It's a lot of fun sometimes but never turns into a cohesive game like 1/2/NV. My college roomate and I hit the point where we just didn't care anymore. I will say that once I got out of the initial radius of say, the Anchorage Memorial with Megaton at one end and all of the awkward DC metro snarl at the other it started to feel properly fun to explore again. (And to be fair once you actually make it to the core DC areas they tend to be somewhat interesting and the dungeons are unique.) It's also fascinating to see just how much of Fallout 4 seems to be a direct response to various things in 3. I love seeing that progression, even if going backwards isn't the most ideal way of doing it, and it makes me appreciate a lot of small tweaks Fallout 4 made to things.

RE8 on xbox one has some really off putting lighting effects. I can't tell if it's just the graphic style, my settings or the game just being dialed back for the older console but it's kind of distracting. I'm getting a lot of "bands" on the light, if that makes sense. It looks like paint by numbers sometimes and not smooth going from light to shadow.

That's something that tends to happen without dithering. Without any sort of visual noise and/or film grain you can see color banding how you describe.
