This would fit better in an 'Irrationally irritating video game moments' thread, but since that doesn't exist I'm posting here. They included a weapon in Dark Souls 3 that is a large, red-hot metal rod with a symbol at the end of it. You know, like some kind of iron you would brand cattle with. This, right here:  What is the name of this weapon? The loving SOLDERING IRON.

Alteisen posted:This also, they where quite obtuse in the earlier games but are far worse in DS3, the absolute shittiest thing about is that unlike the previous games, there's one particular quest that affects your ending and you would have no idea how you blundered into without a walkthrough. I happened to complete that quest on my first playthrough without looking anything up. But then I chose to summon the fire keeper after the final boss, because the other choice was "Kindle the first flame" which was literally the OPPOSITE of what that questline was about!

Digirat posted:gently caress, are twinks as bad as in dark souls 1? I had a great time doing a coordinated coop run through dark souls 2 (we played through the whole game summoning each other in each area, used complimentary builds, etc) and was excited to do the same thing in dark souls 3. But with hackers corrupting saves and getting people flagged for softbans I'm worried about going through the whole game with potential invasions on, and we don't want to spend the entire first two areas getting chain killed by twinks, even if they aren't all hackers. Invasion is based on SL and weapon upgrade level, so I guess it's not as bad as 1.

I felt like playing some Metroid Prime and realized I never beat the second one. I started it up and played for a while and realized why I never finished it... oh boy, a whole swamp level. The dark world, where you take constant damage and need to keep running between safe zones. I'll have to collect all these goddamn keys my beams REQUIRE AMMO URRGH

Shadowgate (2014) has a quicksave button which I used often, and a quickload button which I basically never used at all because for some reason, you can't use it once you trigger anything at all that causes you to die. So instead of dying to a thing, quickloading and trying something else when I see the message that I already know leads into me dying, I have to click through the next several messages describing how I die, wait for whatever animation of a goblin eating my face or whatever, then the screen turning red, then the game over screen coming up, then kicking me back to the main menu where I can choose to load my last save.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Chests have an opening animation and then you have to hit E again to actually take the thing from the chest instead of just doing it automatically. If you hold E on a pickup, you'll grab all the amoo/money/health/eridium near you at once. That helps with it a little bit. Agreed on pretty much everything else. Another thing about Borderlands 2 on console specifically. The Mechromancer has a skill tree with a mechanic called 'Anarchy'. Once you have the skill, you get 1 Anarchy point for each enemy you kill and each clip you fully empty. Each stack of Anarchy increases your damage, but also decreases your accuracy. With skill upgrades and the right class mod, you can get a maximum of 600 stacks. This adds up to +1050% damage and -1050% accuracy. This works really well if your playstyle is 'get all up inside your enemies rear end in a top hat and blast them open from the inside'. You lose all of your anarchy stacks if you die. You also lose all of them if you manually reload (though there is a skill that alters that in a way.) On console, the reload button and the interact button are the same, and there's nothing you can do to change it. So if your clip is missing at least one bullet and you slightly miss when trying to pick up any item? gently caress YOU, ALL YOUR STACKS ARE GONE.

Nuebot posted:Speaking of things dragging darksouls down. I don't like Dark Souls 3's new DLC. I was really excited for it because usually they bring their A game for souls DLC but the enemy design for this one is just The whole thing was disappointingly short, too. It sucks that there are only 2 bosses in the DLC, and the main bossfight kind of sucked in my opinion. When did they decide that it was cool for you to beat a boss fight and then have it spring back up in a second form with another entire health bar? Why did they decide that they needed to pull that poo poo twice in one bossfight? We couldn't come up with an interesting, well-designed boss, so here, fight Lady Maria's first form, then Ornstein and Smough, then Lady Maria's buffed form. Instead of making a single difficult bossfight they just throw you through a boss gauntlet. I can never even know if emptying a boss's health bar will actually end the fight. thecluckmeme posted:Chaos Ember was perfect because you could get it right after Queelag + a cheese boss, but you only could upgrade it in the catacombs which is the shittiest walk back up a vertical environment ever. "Nice ember, kid. Here's a cool sword.

2D platforming shooters (Contra-style): - Not letting me shoot diagonally: okay, I guess that's a legitimate design choice, though it makes the game feel kind of clunky. - Letting the enemies shoot diagonally: yeah okay but why do the enemies get this kind of advantage-- - Having enemies that can fly and perfectly track towards you through walls and you can't even aim at them most of the time: FUUUUCK YOUUUUUU I really wanted to like Risk of Rain, but this completely killed all enjoyment for me and it's starting to really irritate me in Mercenary Kings.

I played through Shovel Knight sometime earlier this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I decided to try playing as Plague Knight and wow, it is just amazingly bad. Any time I land from a jump the character scoots forward pretty much an entire body length. The double jump is so ridiculously small you might as well just remove it and make the regular jump height slightly higher. When I charge up and do the explosion boost, if I don't touch left or right the character goes straight up and then has hardly any control horizontally. If I touch left or right when I release it, even when I'm at a complete standstill I go careening across the entire screen. If I throw a potion in midair, there's a small delay for the throwing animation where I don't have control over my movement and sort of float a little? In a game as precision platforming oriented as this, I don't know how these controls are supposed to be manageable.

It's getting to the point where im considering throwing it and my misdrevous into a box and replacing them as i cant go 2 trainer battles without them being taken out by something that would normally be weak to them but wins due to having dark type attacks (and trying to switch them out just results in them getting oneshot by pursuit) As someone who went with Decidueye, it became apparent pretty quickly just how many loving Pokemon get Bite or Crunch.

I've gone back to finish playing The Talos Principle, I finished the regular puzzles and now I'm going back to collect stars, sometimes (most of the time) referring to a guide for hints. The clock puzzle in A-3 is loving unacceptable. Aside from the ridiculous obscurity of the hint it gives you, the hint is gated behind a QR code you need to scan out of game when every loving other QR code is automatically read in-game. That's dumb enough just on principle, but I don't even have a goddamn device with which to scan QR codes. There is no reason that QR couldn't be read like all the other ones. gently caress off.

I don't know a lot about the story but it worries me because I played Ground Zeroes a long time ago and the most I remember from that is 'rape-bombs'. I got into the earlier games much more recently and most of what I like about them is the nonsensical crazy stuff like Psycho Mantis, Revolver Ocelot.

I can understands a lot of complaints about Dragon's Dogma, but 'uninteresting combat system' is bizarre
