moosecow333 posted:Also, why did you wait until the end-game to give us the wing suit? That thing is sweet as hell and I would have loved to play with it for longer. I'm playing through Thief currently, and it's not bad. But I hate the hub city map. It looks like many places are connected that aren't, and you have to take a roundabout route that makes no sense unless you have memorized the boring, drab city. Also I hate the main character's costume. Corsets don't even look good on women, don't put one on a man.

Asking people to basically stop playing the open world driving game and hide in some bushes for a full minute is a really dumb decision when most people would rather have a short chase to lose a star.

Vrikkian posted:Every FEAR game has been poo poo since the first one. They are making it into creepy mom rape, dead psychic murder brother Call of Duty. Then I'm glad I stopped after the first one. My thing bringing it down was that is was marketed as a horror game, but you're basically an invincible Kung fu super soldier who can slow down time to drop kick SWAT teams. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But it's dumb that the game expects you to be scared of the little girl from the Ring.

SpookyLizard posted:They also could've just let the player pause and have it pause the invader's game too, but make it so the invader can't pause the other player's game. This is such a hilariously bad idea that I wish it was true. I would do nothing but constantly pause and unpause my game in the middle of fights to throw off invaders. I don't see what the big deal is about needing to pause Dark Souls. I leave it running all the time to do little things you guys are talking about like using the bathroom or letting the dog out. Enemies don't generally wander around the level, so you're perfectly safe to take Fido out for a few minutes. If you're scared about invaders, it takes about 10 seconds total to get to the main menu and back in your game.

Achievements in general bring down games for me. Having a pop up appear with a sound after a cutscene or in the middle of gameplay is incredibly annoying. I honestly don't understand why achievements are standard practice now instead of being made fun until they went away like the nGage. But then again I read posts like the above all the time about people who play games they don't like for dozens of hours to unlock achievements. I would absolutely put achievements in my lovely game if it would make spergs play my deserted multiplayer for hours in complete misery for no payoff other than a sarcastic virtual pat on the back. poo poo's funny.

I can honestly say I've never played a Zelda game and thought, "what practical purpose does this dungeon serve Hyrule's population?" That's like asking why goombas never evolved the ability to walk right. The best Zeldas are when it just embraces video game logic like that. That's why Link Between Worlds is the best Zelda since Wind Waker. My latest little thing bringing Smash Bros down is Luigi's new final smash. His old one was weird and awesome. Using a vacuum cleaner is pretty lame by comparison.

I've always leaned towards mouse and keyboard as the best controller ever, but investing in a 360 controller for my PC was a pretty great decision. So many games now are designed with it in mind, and you just plug it in and go. I was confused in a Metal Gear Rising video linked earlier when mouse button prompts popped up. Not sure why you would do that to yourself.

I just finished Spirit Tracks last night, so good timing on this discussion. It's the first Zelda where I didn't do every side quest. The overworld was a slog to get through and the combat controls are terrible. And most side quests involve plenty of one or the other. I did do the side quest to get my ballin engineer suit though. Most boss fights seemed to take the bad controls into account, but the last boss fight was incredibly frustrating due to wonky stylus input.

scarycave posted:I think the main point of the rematches is to get some back-story on the asterisk users. At least, in one of the loops. If I'm remembering right, you can skip the loops after a certain point and go straight to endgame by not stopping when Airy tells you to stop purifying a crystal. I was all about that. The loops were boring.

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes defaults in borderless windowed mode! That's good. It also seems to be hosed up since my task bar was vertically aligned the first time I loaded the game. That's bad. First time I've ever seen a game default to borderless windowed and I have to change it to fullscreen.

Thoughtless posted:So I'm playing World of Warcraft (because my boyfriend is away at work for a month) and I have a pretty dumb complaint. Leveling/questing is way, way too easy now. Like, I can run around the zones aggroing as many mobs as I feel like and not even be remotely close to dying. At least in the previous expansions of this I remember pulling multiple mobs was kinda risky. Now it's totally effortless. I resubbed for the new expansion after a few years off and agree completely. You just wander through zones, demolishing everything in sight. I even tried to go to a higher level zone, and the game straight up wouldn't give me any quests to do. The enemies were literally one level above me. Whatever happened to quests above your level just showing up yellow or red in your quest log? I realize WoW has always been terrible, but holy poo poo.

Your Gay Uncle posted:I'm replaying Dark Souls and just got to the Duke's a Archives. This is supposed to be Seath the Scaleless's labratory and library but he's a huge gently caress off dragon and everything here is man sized. How is he supposed to get inside? There aren't any dragon sized doors anywhere. Even if he got in how is he supposed to do research? The books would be the size of a postage stamp to him. I always assumed whoever had the place before got murdered in some way, and the place was given to Seath. He was all like, "thanks for the Duke title and all, but I'm just going to hang out in the cave I can actually fit in to research crystals. In fact, I'll let my pig live in the foyer because gently caress you I can't use it I'm a dragon."

I think in an opening cut scene of Peace Walker, you can zoom in through her clothes and just keep the camera on her while she is standing around in her underwear. She's also 14 or something. That plus a terribly unfun tank fight made me quit Peace Walker in about an hour.

DMC has a challenge room that reduces your HP to 1 for a fight and doesn't refill it after you're finished. Right after you finish the challenge room, you have to platform between floating rocks. Up until this point, there has been lava that shoots up between rocks every few seconds, so you have to time your jumps between lava bursts. However, the gaps between the rocks right after the challenge room didn't have any lava in them. I could see lava shoot up between rocks in the distance, so I figured I was in a safe zone. Nope. As soon as I jumped across the gap, Dante immediately lost all his health and fell to his death. I guess they forgot to animate lava for a quarter of the level.

John Murdoch posted:Rise of the Tomb Raider: They seem to have put a ton of work into Lara's face animations in cutscenes and barely any for all the other characters. It's made all the worse because the voice acting has generally been really good, so you get believable, emotional dialogue coming out of awkward, stiff-faced weirdos. I'm playing this right now, and I'm going to have to disagree with the believable dialogue. Every conversation either has "your people" or "my people" in it at least a dozen times. Fun game, though.

StandardVC10 posted:The problem with the first FEAR is that you can't actually do this, contact with Alma is instantly fatal. For real. They do such a good job of making you a kung fu action star, then expect you to turn tail when a little girl pops up. I bet nearly everyone died trying to kick her in the face at least once.

Werong Bustope posted:Yeah I've never really had an issue with the rain in BotW and I've played 100s of hours of it at this point. And I like the open world, compared to most open world games it feels very real and there's very few areas that don't have something of interest to stumble across, whether it's a shrine, little puzzle, random NPC, a great view etc. I guess it's just a taste thing, but it feels like a real and logical world to me and I like the way each town has its own architecture. I wish there were a couple more big population hubs, that's my only real issue with the map. Same. Reading a lot of the criticisms in the posts a ways above makes we wonder if I'm playing the same game as these guys, but I'm not going to argue with them since that's not what this thread is about. I definitely don't love how fairies stop talking to you when you've upgraded the last piece of equipment you have items for. Tell me what else I need before diving back in your pool! Also the Shiekah tracker can be a little finicky.

By giving you wide open areas and infinite dash, Owlboy seems to encourage moving around as quickly as possible. It's pretty lovely that there are sometimes hidden enemies or obstacles that look like background objects. If you want me to be more careful and slow, don't encourage me to zoom around 95% of the game.
