I've only played FFX on the original release and managed to stumble around and get every summon but didn't bother with some of the weapons and mini games. Blitz was okay with Jecht Shot and lightning dodge was somehow fruiting and also zen. The thing that brought the game down for me was Khimari. He's a huge cool blue cat man with such a poorly defined role, it's hilarious. His place on the board means he's supposed to be your blue mage but blue magic sucks a huge cock. Diverting him over to a different section helps but he's never as strong as Auron, fast as Tidus or the magical potency of Lulu. poo poo, even Wakka has a spot on some of my team makeups.

Why do people say that FFX has unskippable cutscenes? I remember pressing start and then triangle and it would skip.

I think Dragon Age had a tombstone for T.Hanoi. Got a good laugh out of me. Binding of Isaac is a very good game and I give it gobs of praise. I do not like achievements based on RNG. There are two that require you to get four horsemen to spawn as bosses through your run so you can get cubes of meat from them to make a Super Meat Boy and a cheevo. Horsemen are not required to show, if they do there is no saying that you get 4 in a run and AND even if you get three cubes and a fourth horseman, they may drop a ball of bandages instead. Bandages are for making Bandage Girl and is the same process. My blood-pressure spike when I get three balls of bandages, a horseman as my last pre-mom boss and get meat. gently caress it. gently caress IT

What the hell? Did a signal go out for people to finally play Prototype 2? I just started it two days ago. It's fun, I adored the first one but so far, I don't really know anyone's motivations aside from RAAAGGGH MY FAMILY WAS KILLED. Then again, you're playing as infamous Spider-Man villain Carnage to kill evil scientists and PMCs so loving cares? Binding of Isaac bothers me because I've completed all paths on all difficulties with all characters (gently caress. Lost.) And I'm still missing 2 or 3 achievements because I haven't rubbed my baby body on Mom's poop pouch or whatever. Inside the game there is no way to know what items you have picked up and I'm too burnt out. Hero Siege is a simple, juvenile and cheap monster wave arena game. You can get it for a dollar and I've easily sunk 15 hours j to it. Problem is that the jokes are repetative, formulaic, infantile and boring. It's like a 13 year old wanted to be edgy so he made a Redneck class that shoots flaming tires and jaws on about letting god sort em out. It also, unabashedly, stole a ton of visuals, items and black humor from the Binding of Isaac series. It's not a subtle hint or nod or clever reference. It's items like Sigmata, Rainbow Baby and Holy Mantle.

Edit: gently caress. I thought I was in "Favorite little things in games". The very old Xbox game BREAKDOWN was a sci-fi first person brawler. You play as a guy who wakes up in a military hospital with amnesia and you have crazy future alien powers. Even with these powers, the real aliens shove your poo poo in so loving far that you're constantly seeing brown. Spoilers for a million year old game: At the halfway mark you are escaping some big bad and your jeep crashes and the lady who is your guide dies. You fall into the pit, I think and play the remainder of the game and it feels kinda empty. That is until a chance run in with Solus (?) The main baddie and he kills you. I guess his power transfers to you on accident and you time travel to the scene with the Jeep as SSJ4 SUPER SAIJJIN GOKU and proceed to dominate the rest of the game. (Sorry is my memory of events is scewed. The idea is right) It's like getting a New Game+ a the mid-game checkpoint. I've never felt like such a badass in a game because the whole time previous I was thinking I would never be able to go toe-to-toe with anything but the most basic enemy. Same that the game got critically panned because it wasn't Halo.

I got to the final area of Dark cloud 2, one of my favorite games back in the day, and once you enter you can't go back. There is no warning. Inside the area you cannot farm or grind, there is only the boss. I go in way underpowered because I'm dumb and always focus on gimmicks and couldn't even touch the boss. OH WELL.

I enjoyed City quite a bit because I love creating my own fun with a playground and a toolbox. Asylum, however, is a superior game. It doesn't over-stay its welcome and the scenes were more memorable to me.

DS2 is a good game but there is no section that filled me with such unrelenting dread like Blightown from DS1. Also the special two-weapon combos never seemed to be useful to me ouside of a gimmick. Twirling two scimitars around looks neat but that dragon is gonna eat my rooted rear end.

muscles like this? posted:I bought The Handsome Collection which is Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel and all the dlc and something that's kind of annoying is they don't tell you which fast travel point is for which dlc. That's because Borderlands is a really lovely series and I hope it dies. Even with friends I was bored to tears and #2 had writing so bad that I wanted to find Anthony Burch and poo poo in his shoes. Do you remember the concept art from before #1? Phone posting so I can't get it but goddamn it looked great. One random gun they talked about was a revolver that fired seeking mini-missiles that attached to a target, exploded into acid after a few seconds and marked the enemy on the map. Instead we got "assault rifle that does 1% more damage. poo poo, even the vehicles were supposed to be randomized based on a drive able frame. gently caress Borderlands. You have the potential to be great but instead we got a meme spouting robot and Anthony Burch's boots full of poo.

Lichdom: Battlemage is a weird, stupid game but I keep playing it. You play a mage and your crafting is making new spells. You have a ton of flexibility but the game doesn't tell you what the terms mean in a useful way. I had Necromancer spell that shot dark energy and bones and did a lot if damage. I tried to craft an upgraded version but then it did no damage but put a symbol above the hit enemy's head. I don't know what that symbol means. There is a deep magic system that I feel could be abuse to making the game abuse cakewalk but the system is so obtuse, I'm just making spells and praying they work. OH! It's a linear FPS magic game but if you don't have the right runes, bosses are nearly impossible. You have to grind. In an FPS. Wtf.

Alteisen posted:That's hilarious dickish, especially when you consider that GTA V has sold like 50 million copies and the company still wants more money. You don't have a good grasp on how capitalism works. I only bought GTA5 once and that was for the PC so I had no issue paying full price. People buying it every iteration should maybe hire a financial planner. No a game specifically but something that bums me out: As far as I can tell, there are no games that let you build vehicles from scrap or attach bits and bobs to a school bus and drive over monsters. I know the Mad Max game is coming out but it might be poo poo. APB orgininally said there would be themed variants of the districts where you could earn special or cosmetic items. One such theme was a PvE district that was everyone vs. a city of zombies. You could earn bloodied and rusted scrap armor and weapons. Never happened and the game is practically dead.

That's because the most outspoken people in gaming are autistic and cannot handle nuance or anything more than a spreadsheet. It's also a power complex thing. They want to believe that their actions are correct no matter what and they will always get to the goal. Personally, I adored Alpha Protocol. Because the story was not black and white I was way more invested in the dialogue and making choices that I hoped would lead me in interesting directions. Having a situation go tits-up for reasons that are beyond my control and then getting to find creative solutions is why I will never stop playing games like D&D.

Fallout Shelter is out for Android and I cannot keep up with consumption no matter how upgraded or large my rooms are. I've set up everything very well and placed everyone in the right spots. It's probably my fault, a couple of disastrous expiditions made me nervous to send anyone out so extra supplies are limited. The Fatboy I just picked up ought to even things out.

Evilreaver posted:In Mad Max, the harpoon is a great weapon, you can fire it from your car to take out many things... or rather, nearly anything. It's a god-weapon that insta-kills any person you can see, even through windshields (sometimes you have to fire it twice, to rip their car door off). It's great Just Cause 2-ish fun to slingmurder thugs all day, but it has the annoying tendency to end car chases abruptly. Hold the aim button (LB on xbox) and you can aim anywhere on the car. Every convoy I fight leaves behind 6 mooks missing a single wheel. Later in the game it's harder to rip things off and you're going to praise every time you can tag a fool through the windshield. You get drowned in enemy cars. Inzombiac has a new favorite as of 20:13 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Desert Golfing, a simple 2D golfing game has thrown this at me and I cannot proceed. I've tried very slowly rolling the ball to just above the hole but even the slowest speed puts it in the water. I cannot bank it off the right because the water stretches too far off screen. I'm pretty sure these courses are randomly generated and I guess the algorithm finally had enough of me. Edit: I looked it up and that was the intended "end" of the game but you CAN bank it, I just haven't hit the spot yet. gently caress this game I love it Inzombiac has a new favorite as of 23:37 on Oct 11, 2015 |

W3 is one of those games that I loved (aside from weapon degrading (can you mod that out?)) but I'm not sure I'll ever finish it. If I were younger and had 6 hours a day to play, sure, but a dense game like that is pretty intimidating. Same goes for PoE. I know I love it but I only have an hour to spare!

See, I adore BOTW because it's huge, dense and really fun but doesn't try to be like Elder Scrolls. People always complain that ES games are wide but shallow and I'd have to agree. Zelda uses every piece of the world in interesting ways. Nothing feels out of place.
