Arkham Origins has Gordon call Batman out repeatedly on that.

I was 98% done with collecting everything due to OCD and boredom and the loving game locked up during a load. I had to reboot my 360. Yay, my save file is corrupted.

I've apparently had Deus Ex:HR for a long time from some Steam sale, but never played it. Started it this weekend and decided to be Mr. Ghost; stealthy and non-lethal. Oh, there are boss fights that require you to be a well-armed killing machine...

Just get the typhoon ability maxed. It will deal with most of the bosses easily.

They fixed this somewhat in the directors cut by having stuff you can hack into in the boss areas but it's still not perfect.

Without restarting or replaying huge portions of the game, I can't do this as all my Praxis points are used up.

2) Have EMP protection and stungun her to death, I absolutely took the piss with this

I beat 1 with few problems but am stuck on her. She 1-hits me with her Typhoon? blasts and I have no EMP protection available because I've been stealthing the entire game and haven't upgraded protection at all. Oh well, whatever - I'll keep hammering away.

Though the drop offs hidden in the deep water did make me super anxious. And there's a piece of loot off to one side of the map that I never found a way to reach, which continues to haunt me.

(Re: SoM)
It's wrong. The combat is a carbon-copy of the Arkham games. Just easier. The only thing woefully missing is the grappling hook.

Who needs a grappling hook when you can Shadow Strike your way across the entire map?

The game is tons of fun. You feel like a loving god of combat.

I don't think I did any side quests pass the opening area ones in Xenoblade Chronicles. I absolutely no idea what appeal people find in doing that tedious poo poo.

I did a fuckload of them from the start up to the the area after you fight metal-face in the cave (don't recall the area name - some jungle-ish location). At that point I had completely burned myself out and haven't touched it since. I thought I'd have to grind them to keep my level up to snuff. Turns out you don't!

I was gonna say, there are definitely bosses without a run.

Plus souls borne aren't the only games with pattern based bosses that require practice and learning their tells, and plenty of them include a checkpoint right before the boss.

So yeah we definitely have an idea of what that's like.

I like the slog. It adds to the sense of oppression, a key theme in these games.

That said, there are some lovely instances and it's not surprising that most of them revolve around chalice dungeons, the one feature of the game that sort of shits on the design philisophy of the rest of the games. I still enjoyed them but it took some time for me to warm up to the idea, and I never did finish them.

They're just not that fun.

I'm the idiot who platted BB and I will never do a chalice dungeon again in my life so help me god.

Nier: Automata really loving upped the anime. Holy poo poo, it's a terrible amount of anime compared to og Nier. Also the loving "We are gods" robot section has the most annoying music in almost any game I've ever played. Also the stupid robot tremolo voice effect is loving irritating as hell.

Nier: Automata has no autosaving.

On PC, crashes and softlocks are a problem.

PS4 has the same lockup problems. There's also a weird bug where during boss fights your health bar will suddenly go across the top of the entire screen.

Nier: Automata pet peeve given to any new players as advice:

Don't ever do a main quest until you have finished ALL the sidequests you can first. You will get locked out of doing them as far as I can tell.

More PS4 console design hate - whoever decided the back of the console needs to slant at an angle and have it overhang where the HDMI and network connectors are should be shot. No, I don't need to change cords that often, but when I do I can't just reach over like I can for every other TV-connected device ever, I have to turn the loving thing around and do it that way.

Bloodborne's DLC is too loving hard.

I platted vanilla, have beaten the game multiple times, etc., but the DLC is just too goddamned hard to be enjoyable. Yes, yes, git gud blah blah. Whatever. It's unfun and drags down one of the best games of all time.

DO4M is pretty fun. It sucks that some levels get arbitrarily locked off from backtracking meaning that you have to re-do the level from the start if you miss a secret sometimes. Yes I know you can just play up to the secret and then stop, but it's still a stupid design decision.

This is something that mildly dragged down that old game Freelancer. So many zones had admittedly-pretty nebulae as backgrounds that the few zones that were actually black with star dots were remarkable.

What's dragging this game down is that it isn't on Steam or GOG.

Bloodborne is the best of the series. My opinion is obviously colored because I like Lovecraft poo poo and BB does Lovecraft better than Lovecraft. The world building is just perfect for my tastes.

I enjoyed DS3 when I played it but never have the desire to play through it again.

I've played through BB, like, 15 times or something.

e: Not that 15 times is a lot, seeing as there are people on NG+40 or some poo poo, but that's a lot for me who rarely plays a game twice.
