Who What Now posted:I couldn't say if it is or isn't, because it's such an unplayable piece of garbage. The story itself is pretty good. The way it's told is pretty terrible, there is hours upon hours of running about with no plot development and when some of the more interesting characters and subplots show up it may have been dozens of hours in game since their last appearance so you've probably forgotten about them. It's still one of my favourite games though and I love how much optional stuff there is to do, which made 13 even more disappointing for me.

EmmyOk posted:This is actually true of a great many villains though. Sometimes I like to imagine the ludicrous backstories for Dead Cell are just Raiden's support team seeing how much bullshit they can feed him before he questions it. Like, that fat guy is totally called Fatman because he made a working nuclear bomb at the age of 12 and not because he's a human tub of lard. You could do pretty much the same thing for the whole series though (and you'd often be correct).

Nobunaga's Ambition is a fairly obscure byzantine historical strategy game, that includes character portraits for every single figure of even fleeting importance during the sengoku period.There's an option to replace a good 200 or so of them with pictures of cats.

Towards the beginning of the new Uncharted you get to walk around Drake's house and play Crash Bandicoot. Also there's an option to replay cinematics which comes in handy if you miss something which is nice. GEORGE W BUSHI has a new favorite as of 08:33 on May 10, 2016 |

I like that the trophies in Uncharted 4 aren't for generic stuff like progressing in the game that you do anyway but for doing stupid stuff like taking photos of Sully when you should be using your camera to send photos of a puzzle to your backup to help you solve it.

I never played the first two Witchers but The Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games and the part where you and your Witcher buddies get drunk and prank call wizards through their talking mirrors is my favourite little thing in games.

Nordick posted:This reminds me of the spy RPG Alpha Protocol, where your attitude options in dialogue are "the three J.B.'s"; You can be an aggressive dick like Jack Bauer, a calm, collected professional like Jason Bourne, or a smarmy, suave smartass like James Bond. And my favourite little thing about this is that most of the time the James Bond route just makes the protagonist seem like a massive tool, and most of the NPCs will just shoot his bullshit down accordingly. It's hilarious. It also makes one of the villains angry enough to give up his escape plan and fight you to the death.

Nuebot posted:What's really fun to do is to just sneak up and fulton cars full of dudes. Sometimes they'll freak out and escape, sometimes they won't. Once I had a guy shoot down the car and it crushed him. I beat the last Quiet mission by sneaking around in the sandstorm fultoning the tanks as they arrived. It was pretty anticlimactic.

Yeah, and iirc the virus decides that the man it was initiating was a massive loving rear end in a top hat.

My Lovely Horse posted:I keep hearing there's extra material that explains the relationship between Noctis and the others more, but within five minutes I thought, okay, they're obviously bodyguard, valet, and best friend respectively, what's not to get? And so far, everything I've seen proves me right. There's a whole bunch of anime on the PlayStation store that I haven't watched but the game does a decent enough job of having Prompto ask who random characters the others already know are. The game could use some sort of encyclopaedia with a brief description of every character you meet like The Witcher 3 has so you can remind yourself who they are when you're spending so much time doing side quests that you're only seeing them once every ten hours or so.

If you cast an ice spell on enemies in water in FFXV, the water will freeze and the enemies will be trapped until the ice melts. I found this out the hard way by standing in the water when I cast Blizzaga.

Nuebot posted:He's a pretty believably 17 protagonist. I like the part where they're going on some stupid mission (I think the one to assassinate the witch?) and his internal monologue just has him ignoring all the important mission dialogue then he just shouts something stupid mid-thought and runs away leaving everyone really confused. The one thing I did like about 8 was that even though it followed the JRPG convention of making its protagonists stupidly young, it gave a storyline reason and didn't make them inexplicably combat veterans in their teens and also did a decent job at showing their immaturity. XV did the same thing and actually gave it's supporting characters reasonable ages. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Cor was 42 and not like 30 and that Aranea was 30 and not early 20s. This is coming from a series which depicted 32-year-old Cid Highwind as a crotchety old man.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Save that for a second playthrough, or it spoils certain things. Malkavian and Nosferatu both should be played through at least once, but definitely not on the first go round. Malkavian is more just loving confusing to play the first time round rather than outright spoiling things because you have no idea what's going on. I mean I didn't get very far before saying gently caress this and switching to a Tremere (who also get special content, and I think an exclusive ending that nobody else can get).

To rise up the ranks of the hunters' guild in Horizon, there's a sidequest where you have to get trophies from some of the strongest machines in the game, I found the most entertaining way to do this is find an area where two of them spawn and override one of them to watch them fight to death so you can sneak in after and nab the trophy.

I legitimately felt as though I could navigate around some of the city just based on my knowledge of the game. I tried when I was in Venice but it didn't really help. The game doesn't prepare you for how bad the city stinks either.

Guy Mann posted:The game was literally years past deadline and hugely over budget and they tried to make a final level that took place in an entirely new environment full of unique assets that they couldn't even get to run on the last-gen consoles they were releasing it on. Also rather than doubling down on making sure the game was finished Kojima spread their time and money even further by starting development on Silent Hills and releasing PT. reading this made me wonder how far along he is with Death Stranding, and I found out he answered this question just two days ago quote:"Let's say the character goes in an Italian restaurant. Who the character meets going into the restaurant, what he will be eating, all those details are set. What we're working on right now is what kind of table will be there, what will be the specific dialogues that will be there, what is gonna be the specific menu of this restaurant, those details are the things that we're tuning right now."

Neddy Seagoon posted:Go Rookie, try Russia first. The missions there are generally easier. The initial Saudi Arabia hub is a slog to get through, but well worth persisting past it. one of the bosses in Russia is really difficult unless you do Taiwan first so like poptart_fairy suggested, it's smart to go to different hubs rather than just plowing through each hub in turn.
