marshmallow creep posted:Nah Nick is based on a guy who was trying to take down a criminal mastermind who killed Nick's girl and then walked because he cut a deal. You can help him find the guy, who conveniently turned himself into a ghoul before the bombs dropped and locked himself in a secret room no one could get into and stayed there for 220 years so Nick would have the chance to track him down and kill him at long last. 220 years in the equivalent of a one room apartment. FO4 also gave us Billy the ghoul, a child who was trapped in a loving refrigerator for 220 years.

The Moon Monster posted:It's weird because aside from human faces the art is actually pretty good. I think it's the artist's "personal style" or something but I'd be surprised if it didn't have a significant negative impact on the game's sales. It seems to be the first thing everyone notices, and not in a good way. It's a shame because the game is pretty great otherwise, some balance issues aside (why can poison and daggers never be good in these things They look like humans to you?

Olaf The Stout posted:Zelda for me, easily. Okami is pretty, but very very easy and very long, with the worst companion ever. Hard mode BotW really kicks your rear end in the beginning, making your ascent to power even sweeter. Also the implication that you have the hardware and the game already means you already passed the vast majority of the price hurdle. Just my opinion though, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of others. Zelda dlc doesn't let you pee on your enemies, though.

Picke up Observer on the PS4. I like the atmosphere and story thus far, but the controls were just a pain in the rear end. You rapidly alternate between manipulating a static camera and running around a space station - I want an inverted Y for movement but not the camera. Several other games allow for this, but not this game. Pair that with the controls being intolerable sluggish for the camera and ridiculously sensitive for free movement and I ended up getting a refund.

food court bailiff posted:It would be, except the modern Hitman games are littered with game modes where you can’t save and/or only get one attempt, so glitches like that are less “haha” and more “oh poo poo I hope I didn’t ruin literally my only chance at this Elusive Target mission”. Ugh, that sounds awful. Why on earth would you make a single-attempt quest like that? At least make it a challenge mode you can opt into.

Len posted:Elusive Target missions are unique, as they only appear once, and if the mission ends in any way, other than restarting, they cannot be attempted again. So far, they've appeared at a rate of roughly once every few weeks. That seems fine then... Len posted:When a new target is added to the game, players only have a limited time (initially ca. 48 hours, though the norm has since become a whole week) to compete in the mission, or it'll be lost Oh gently caress that noise.

Len posted:I mean I haven't played it but there's a chart here that says otherwise quote:On October 24th, 2017, iOi announced the return of the elusive targets[1] to be available for purchasers of the newly released Game of the Year Edition. This re-activation would allow players to try any elusive target that they didn't finish on the first appearance. If a target was killed or the mission was failed, they would not return. So purchasing another edition allowed you one more, time-limited attempt, that must be completed in a specific date range. That doesn't read as 'cycles' to me. Games can have challenges without artificially upping the difficulty by adding real life calendar restrictions. God forbid I have something do to in the 48 hours the mission is available. Its okay for people to dislike something in a game that you don't have an issue with. Its weird to white knight for a game you haven't even played because someone had a negative reaction to someone's experience in the game.

HaB posted:- I have yet to find a game where Hunger / Thirst adds anything good to gameplay. Subnautica is no exception. It adds tedium - that's it. It's not difficult to catch food or purify water - it's just annoying. When a game gives you the option at the beginning to not have hunger/thirst mechanics, you take it.

Nuebot posted:This is the only enjoyable way to play skyrim imo. The dragons have always been my least favorite part of it; I hated how they'd show up and kill every killable NPC in town because the NPCs were too stupid to not stand right in its fire breath (the vampire invasions have similar issues) and whoops there go your side quests. Also they just kind of weren't fun to fight. I'll sacrifice the ability to chat up balgruuf if it means being able to enjoy the rest of the game without hearing that dragon music, a screech and then fighting a dragon for like ten minutes before it fucks off to its special dragon tower to die that I'm not going to walk to because I was going somewhere else. The run for your lives mod was a godsend and I don't know why that wasn't in the game from the start.

Inspector Gesicht posted:What are the best and worst stop-gap side-games? This is when to fill the gap between two major installments of a franchise a smaller side-game is made, usually by another studio under the same publisher, and it repurposes the same engine and a number of assets. Sometimes it's intended to release on last-gen hardware. I beat HZD twice and then moved on to Far Cry Primal. I really liked the language aspect of it - it seemed pretty ballsy. But yeah, its a poor man's HZD.

The Spectrum Retreat, an indie not-Portal puzzle game I got for free from Epic, nags and gives hints incessantly and instantly. Example: In the opening, you are in a hotel restaurant. You are told in the restaurant that you need to go to the elevator. This is nearly on the other side of the hotel map and requires crossing the restaurant, ballroom, stairs, and several hallways. If you leave for the elevator immediately upon getting the instruction, you will get a voice-over nagging you no less than 3 times. It is physically impossible to get to the elevator in a short enough time to NOT trigger them. "Did you hear me? I said to go to the elevator." "You need to get to the elevator to continue. Its upstairs." "What are you doing? If you can hear me, go to the elevator." Similarly, you're in a series of hallways of doors with a lot of intricate symbols and lines on them. You are told to 'find the door that is different." Before you can lap the hallways, the voiceover nag is telling you exactly what is different and where the door is. Giving you less than 30 seconds to navigate an unfamiliar map is obnoxious, not helpful.

credburn posted:I started off playing MUDs, and I know what MOBs are. But I hated when MUD acronyms started seeping into non-MUD places, like MMORPGs and even first person shooters. Suddenly after playing Everquest, all my friends started referring to any enemy as a mob. I said no, sirs, that's now what a mob is. That's not what a MOB is. But friends and the Internet at large were like NO MOBS ARE ENEMIES and I felt like I was losing this battle of... whatever, it was just a naming convention that I was hoping was a fad that was going away. So fast forward like twenty years and I'm playing video games again, and I start playing Minecraft for the first time ever. My friend Melissa keeps referring to the zombies and poo poo as MOBs and I am like, gently caress what is this, I thought we were done with the MOBs thing, and I go on nagging her about ACTUALLY MOBs come from... blah blah blah, real insufferable grognard poo poo. And she's like, Dude I've never even heard of a MUD I'm just telling you what the game tells me. And I'm like, well the loving GAME doesn't call them MOBs and she's like ACTUALLY IT DOES and gently caress, it does. So in summary, what's bringing a lot of games down for me appears to just be me I'm imagining you running away from quest givers in MMORPGs because they have exclamation marks and those meant something else in Metal Gear Solid and gently caress an understanding of how context changes amirite

Playing VTM Swansong and its been aight so far, except now I am trapped in a room with apparently no way out. I need to open a door. According to every guide, there are two routes to open it, one through NPC dialogue and one through a logic puzzle. Except the NPC won't talk to me and another NPC is standing in front of the logic puzzle so I can't solve it, and I can't leave the room. Restarted level, following a guide, same thing. Really sucks the atmosphere out of it.

How the gently caress are you going to stick me a room away from GIANT MUTANT 1000 YEAR-OLD TED FARO and then have him killed off-screen without me even getting to see him. What the gently caress? Why? I'm glad. For one, whatever we imagine is going to be way grosser than what they show. For another, it was already bad to include him, Ted, King rear end in a top hat at all. The horror of his evil was that he would never get his comeuppance as he was safely ensconced in the past. Showing us his mutated form and letting Aloy kill him would have been far too much.
