Nuebot posted:FF14 still using a subscription system drags it down for me. I'd be all over that game if it didn't. Conversely, games with F2P or pseudo-F2P systems really make me not want to try it. Sure Guild Wars 2, I'll happily have 5 months worth of only new cash shop cosmetics. Sure The Old Republic, I'll happily not be able to loving run without spending money.

Morglon posted:The entire DLC was pretty lame. I mean yeah more features and poo poo for your soldiers are always good but the season pass kind of promised DLC that would actually impact gameplay. Not only that it seems fairly lame when you get a huge number of options early on like dressing your guys in short short with midriffs and later on you get like a slightly different pattern on your breastplate. In both cases they detailed what each season pass would entail somewhat before the first DLC came out. XCOM2's next two DLCs add new enemies and a new class respectively, while Fallout's adds more settlement mechanics/buildables in one and a whole new area in the other.

So I abandon it and focus on the new game, then weeks later I go back to XBC (assuming yet another game I want doesn't come out), load my save and realize I forgot so many things (how to navigate the areas, where and when quest NPCs appear, etc.) that it's easier for me to just start the game over from scratch. This is me, in EVERY RPG ever. RPG fatigue is a bitch

MisterBibs posted:Being hit by curveballs meant you weren't playing the game right. The irony was that it was the original XCOM that taught me that lesson in the first place. The documents in TFTD were always confusing to me. Stories of XCOM soldiers panicing? Dying? This just didn't happen. Normal people realise at this sentence that it's folly to continue. Content: Less a specific game than an entire genre, but screw survival games that don't actually give you any idea on what the gently caress to do. Subnautica, for example. I never would have thought about getting a scanner and scanning fragments to unlock new items without a friend telling me about it. On that same note: survival games that do the above, but also is extremely stingy on food/water, so if you take too long early on to figure out how to grow more food, you've scoured the surrounding area to a point of barrenness. ...For some reason I am on a survival game kick.

On top of Gungeon's ammo thing - it was bugged for a fortnight where one of the two rolls for an ammo box would only activate if you only used your starter-infinite-ammo gun. So you only got one roll that was for money, ammo, health, armor, keys and very rarely chests. Once it was fixed I very rarely had issues with ammo, but early impressions are the one that get spread around.

The only reason I'm vaguely okay with the current era-old engine is because it still lends itself to modding extremely easily. I just know it'd be the last thing on their priorities. Before anyone tries to snark "how about they make a game that doesn't need mods" I mostly like the "new content" type of mod as opposed to rebalancing etc.

HookedOnChthonics posted:Interestingly enough, the total-afterthought Battlefield 2 console port actually had a campaign mode that... well 'good' definitely isn't the right word, but it had a more thought-out and inventive idea for a singleplayer Battlefield campaign that wasn't just COD setpiece FPS or bot match but a kind of weird blend of the two, with the player participating as one of many soldiers on each objective-based mission but with the ability to hop bodies between any allied dude at any time—iirc just by aiming at them and pressing a button. It was weird, and not very good, but it was doing its own thing and not just filling out defined genre expectations so you have to give it some props. Can Battlefield: San Francisco become a full game? This sounds promising with a good amount of polish. Jump between soldiers, hijack an eneny jeep driver and send them careering off a cliff, hijack a tank and wreak havoc on the enemy with their own vehicle... Multiplayer would have Titanfall style mooks for you to hijack. I actually really want this to be a thing now.

Der Kyhe posted:I have to say that big part of everyone hating Connor must have been the lovely writing: his character has no doubt the highest amount of stupid poo poo happening to him on cutscenes. Guy keeps getting outwitted, arrested, knocked out or cockblocked like on every other cutscene, and the player takes over at the point when the cutscene Connor has once again shat the bed. Connor summed up in six words; "What would you have me do?" Seriously, he says that SO much. Makes it feel less like he has any initiative and is just doing what anyone tells him to do.

CJacobs posted:Destiny 2's horrible transition to f2p turned me off of the game forever. I picked it up when it went free and I don't even want to play it because it's such a mess. New players start with endgame level gear which is just the basic gear but level 300. There's no power progression because you start with every skill, every map, every game mode, every class, every difficulty unlocked. Everything you pick up does the same damage even if it's higher leveled because enemies scale directly to your power level. The actual story of the game is given to an npc in the hub they don't even point you toward. It just feels like there's no point in playing it because I got plopped down at the endgame when I booted it up for the first time. It's insanely sloppy. I know this is drifting away from the point of the thread, but more and more with MMOs and faux-MMO-like games like Destiny or the Division I've found myself asking; why even is there a grind for the endgame nowadays? It seems like the majority of players always treat leveling or whatever as a necessary, bland chore to do so they can get to the meat of whatever game it is - raids, dungeons, whatever. More often than not it's usually because whatever you'd get during leveling is completely and utterly useless at the end, right? And more often than not, there's complaints about the endgame at that point too - not enough instanced content, the treadmill ends too quickly... Surely there's space out there now for a game that cuts the effort in making Another Leveling Quest Hub that can be shoved into more endgame stuff. EDIT: Actually to wrap it back into PYF "little" thing that drags it down - Knowing to get into like, most MMOs these days and catch up with friends I'd have to level or grind for relative ages just makes me go start up something easier to jump in and go with instead.

Yeah, Niflheim was the second to last thing I did to plat God of War 2018 - I wasn't that down on the concept of the area, but ultimately not enough actually changed every run to not have it static, IMO. That also reminds me of my all time thing that I never enjoy; I hate dodging instakill traps in third person and first person games. Sea of Thieves has a few areas where instakill traps are very prevalent, specifically in one of the Tall Tales that has you drag what is essentially a bomb past three sets of ground spike traps that you need to inch around, swinging axe traps, and three sets of retracting wall spike traps that instakill you if you brush up against them. And you have to find the safespot in between the spikes. Three times. Then you have to leave the same way you came in. Comparably, in games like Hollow Knight or Celeste I don't feel nearly as much distaste for instakills.

Here is the thing that always drags down my enjoyment of the two Fire Emblem games I've played, Awakening and Three Houses. There are way too many overarching decisions I am making and probably loving up! Like classes in Three Houses - I don't know what I'm doing! Am I making a giant mistake having this lame archer pick up a lance? Should I be focusing on support-leveling? I never got far enough in Awakening but I AM aware of the whole relationship and offspring units thing and I know I'd dread getting that far. THERE'S TOO MANY CHOICES!

It's intentionally done as a parody of the (at the time fairly recent) BioWare romances in Mass Effect 2 and so on. I think the game also had straight up loyalty missions as well?

Tunicate posted:Yes but ben franklin cheats death via an elaborate scheme involving cloning and a headless horseman I understand that reference. I'd link to the comic but it's been down for a couple of months now. On the topic of AC3; I want to replay that game just to count how many times Connor says his catch-phrase "What would you have me do?" Seriously, I grew to like his character because of the very optional homestead stuff, but if you just focused on the main story all I remember from him is "What would you have me do" and "Where is Charles Lee "
