That's exactly what's dragging down Far Cry 4 for me. I really don't have the time or patience to listen to Longinus speak spiritual crap for minutes prior to action, same goes for most story stuff. Unskippable cutscenes are hell.

I flat out stopped playing the game cuz it was taking me upwards of like 15 minutes for one of those dumb puzzles with a rotating platform and several robo things. Ain't nobody got time for that bs.

Tiggum posted:To be fair, that's not Bioware's audience, that's just the people who are obsessed enough with the game to bother making mods for it. You could make the same argument for, say, Harry Potter, based on a sampling of fanfiction. Especially when you take into account the fact that utility mods only really have to be done once, but each person who makes a sex mod wants their own specific preferences catered to. That would be true if Harry Potter had Hermione sex scenes in every other convo. But they don't.

Kruller posted:It works best with a controller, People always say this poo poo about a variety of PC games but it never works for me, except for Racing games I guess. I recently played the Darksiders action game series with PC + Mouse and everybody on forums I read were like "OMG PLAY THIS WITH A CONTRLLER BLA BLA" and I actually gave it a shot with my PS4 controller. Then I spent like 30 seconds fighting with slow camera controls and lack of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to quickly aim at things. Even in an action / adventure game the mouse makes it so easy to center your view instantly on what you want, or enemies or objects you need to get to. Controllers will always be clunky beasts that I will suck at using. I guess that's what I get for growing up without consoles and just PC games though. And don't get me started on FPS games on Console. I recently started the Uncharted series and I can't for the life of me get through sections on Normal without intense effort to shoot the baddies. It is soo hard to aim and it doesn't seem like the game has any aim assist. TheShrike has a new favorite as of 21:19 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Uncharted makes me feel like an old man playing games for the first time. Everything looks the same, half the time I have no idea where to go or what ledges to grab. Just a mess.

Yeah because I totally want to spend my time after work listening to NPC's have long convos and piece together random stuff in levels to finally get to do one opportunity. I play with full assist because I'd like to have fun in the game and not turn Hitman into the latest Agatha Christie novel.

I started it up and got to Whiterun and figured out that I don't really seem to like it anymore. Unlike Morrowind Skyrim is completely unplayable for me after finishing it once.

Action Tortoise posted:jedi were dropping like flies in episode 2. they're literally space ninjas in that the more of them are onscreen, the more of them will die off. The best part of Rogue One was Darth Vader and the rest was bland uninteresting characters- the whole premise of the non-jedi movie was also incredibly boring so it doesn't really help the quality of non-jedi entertainment. There's a reason the best of Star Wars media involves Jedi

Glukeose posted:Episode 3, while not being good, had a whole montage of Jedi being killed by regular rear end troopers. Some of them even died from really silly bullshit, like the one who got shot on a speeder. Wasn't a key theme of KotOR 2 that a Jedi is just as frail and mortal as any other rear end in a top hat, especially if they can't hide behind a saber? That was the theme brought about by the game being limited to D&D Rules, not really canon.

Glukeose posted:Then if we're specifically working within canon, the Jedi get clowned by robots who are often too incompetent to shoot straight. They also get killed by a bounty hunter whose son would die later by falling into a giant mouth in a desert. They're really not infallible or overpowered. The STRONG jedi, i.e Yoda / Darth Vader / Palpatine etc., have never been clowned or subject to any pitiful deaths. The younger ilk I would agree have their flaws.

Leal posted:KOTOR 2 had 2 NPCs that told you how to easily kill Jedi. Shooting at them en masse, sniper rifles at a distance, mines, grenades with magnetic targeting locks so the jedi couldn't push them back at you, shoot at innocents, wound their padawan, also being spontaneous as its harder for the Jedi to predict. My lvl 29 Sith Lord could kill an army with a Force Lighting so beat that!

That's the pleb canon. The EU canon lives on- the yuzhon vong will never die!

AlphaKretin posted:The other thing that makes the download issue really sting is that it's not even necessary half the time. Often the vast majority of the filesize is uncompressed audio and video that would have been compressed a console generation ago for disc space reasons but now they just can't be hosed, as well as stuff like other language audio tracks and various texture qualities that you'll probably only ever use one of and could be made free DLC or something.

Thing dragging every game down are the luddites above. In more on topic news, Darksiders 2 is an incredibly boring and formulaic game that almost made me stop playing games forever. Filled with fetch quests where in the middle of the quest to find 3 people, one of the dudes asks you to find 3 more things to complete his 1/3 of the quest. Horrific. Also platformic a ripoff of PRince of Persia but it messes up actually having original areas so you do the same thing about 1k times in the game.

Your Gay Uncle posted:I'm loving Dishounoured 2 but the character models look really weird when they are dead. The arms aren't proportional to the body, they hang almost to their knees and their hands are bigger than their heads. When ever they end up rag dolling they look like that Ronnie Cox puppet at the end of Robocop. Dishonored 2 is the first stealthy game I'm trying to play without being a sperg and quick loading every time I mess up the stealth and it's making me realize I am horrifically impatient and horrible on stealthing I am. 8/10 encounters end with me having a full blown combat fight when the stealth inevitably fails. I put the difficulty up to Very High to compensate for this however, and the combat works well so it's not a disaster when it happens - I might do a sperg run as Emily however.

Metal Gear 1 - the penultimate boss battle requires a precise amount of 16 explosives in order to succeed. The game relies on a ranking system (1-4 stars) in order to decide how much ammo / health you can hold, you get more stars as you save hostages. If you mess up in a boss battle towards the end of the game and hit a hostage or two your stars go down. If you end up at the penultimate boss fight without at least a rank 4 stars you will be unable to finish the game. Best hope you have a save you can go back to. loving 1987 games.

gently caress one of the ending battles of Metal Gear Solid 2. The last 10% of the game literally becomes a lovely version of tekken or some dumb poo poo where you fight some dude with the worst controls ever (no autolock on LOL have fun swinging into the air thousands of times) and it absolutely ruins the good will the game had up to this point. What the gently caress was Kojima and team thinking taking a "tactical espionage game" and shoving in loving sword fights in it like it's revengeance. I similarly threw a gigantic fit at the end of Metal Gear Solid 1 where you have the fist fight. Metal Gear 1 and 2 never had these issues because they were made before Kojima lost his mind. (at least the fist fight at end of M2 wasn't annoyingly hard) TheShrike has a new favorite as of 07:01 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Playing through mgs3 right now and I must say what's dragging it down for me is having played all the ones before it. I've just gotten to the part where you get told how to get to the big bad base and have to backtrack - and to be honest it's boring me. There's almost 0 of that classic metal gear over the too cheesy emotional stuff. Every environment feels dark and grimy and lacks spirit. Naked snake is bland as gently caress as a character, at least raiden and solid snake had personalities and verbally grappled with issues but naked snake is just like "got a mission to do boop beep". Mgs1 had a story with beats that worked perfectly and never kept you bored, mgs2 diverged a bit but poo poo happened and kept your attention. Mgs3 is like "time to crawl through jungle portion 12. allright, took down dude with bees. Ok passed through another forest. Allright bland warehouse time. Allright dark tunnel time. Allright swamp time." And the codecs are snooze fests. Maybe it gets better, but for now I don't understand why it's said to be the best?
