Tunic is just swell and I hope the old-school NES manual translation thing doesn't get old because figuring stuff out in this game is extremely satisfying.

Last Celebration posted:You playing the Switch version? It kinda seemed neat but afaik there’s no previews/reviews for that version specifically so idk if I wanna take the plunge before knowing it has parity with the other versions. PS5. I’m playing it 100% blind. The “eureka!” moments when you figure something out using the manual or fiddling with mechanics are just perfect. I even managed to sequence break a little without realizing that’s what I was doing. There are two things I don’t like much about the game: -Not being able to rotate the camera is super annoying in some places but that’s really an aesthetic/design choice. -The combat is “clunky” for lack of a better word. Lock-on breaks too easily, your little guy’s attack range is incredibly short and the parry is far too slow to be useful except in very specific situations. Also the game seems to break its own rules a lot. Some enemies indicate an incoming attack by flashing right beforehand and some don’t. Hell, some have two attacks - one that flashes and one that doesn’t. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and it can be frustrating. Fighting multiple opponents at the same time can be extremely difficult. Anyway, there’s a good chance all of that is intentional because you’re a little fox guy who isn’t supposed to be a superhero.

Zoig posted:yeah if that part sucks just turn on the assist mode stuff to be invulnerable, the best part of the game is the puzzles anyways and i did that myself when dealing with the boss deep underground, you know the one. I just figured out the stupid door puzzles and I did it almost totally by accident and I have no idea how you’re supposed to figure that out in your own.

Although you don’t directly fight cerberus, he is your dad’s summon on the highest difficulty setting for that boss fight and he will absolutely gently caress you up

Literally everything about Inscryption. If this isn’t game of the year I don’t know what is. Holy poo poo. Really sucks that there’s no real way to talk about why it’s so amazing without ruining it for others and to do so would be criminal. I don’t think a game has ever shocked me as much as this has. It’s amazing. Please play inscryption. It just came out on consoles for like $20 and it’s worth every penny.

credburn posted:I played a few minutes into Inscryption and didn't care that much about it. I like card based uhhh whatever this is, generally. It just didn't intrigue me very much. I'm not a big fan of card games either but the weird creepy vibe got me hooked and you really need to keep playing it. There's a payoff

I vaguely remember borrowing that game from a friend and playing it over and over until I finally beat that underwater level only to be promptly run over by unavoidable steam rollers leading to a game over and I just said “gently caress it”

Prodeus is so goddamned good. Most fun I've had with a FPS since Doom 2016 and the soundtrack is just amazing but why oh why does the sniper rifle not have a zoom? WTF is even the point?

Crowetron posted:Think of it less as a sniper rifle and more Doom 2016's Gauss Cannon in siege mode I’m getting better with it but enemies attack from so far away you almost need a zoom - like, there are places when you are clearly meant to use it to snipe/counter-snipe far-off enemies but it’s hard without any zoom at all. The fact that shotguns aren’t able to hit more than one enemy is annoying too but overall I’m having a great time with it. Also auto-sprint should be on by default. Turning that on and rebinding dash/dodge to the O button makes the controls feel a lot tighter. Frank Frank has a new favorite as of 03:33 on Oct 30, 2022 |

Crowetron posted:Large Chris Redfield built me a tank with a chainsaw arm attached to it so I will not hear a word against him. I guess I shouldn’t complain. There was that time my house was about to be crushed by an enormous runaway boulder while my wife and children were inside and Chris just punched it in half like it was nothing. Sure, the boulder shards killed my neighbor’s dog and caused thousands of dollars in property damage but you can’t put a price tag on safety

Cleretic posted:Dark Souls 2 has perhaps the best NPCs in the series in terms of pure fun value. I love the ladder vendor that gives you one too short to save you from the fall afterwards if you cheap out. Chloanne owned. Gilligan owned. The weird talking head whose body tries to murder you down near Freija owns.

The original subnautica was so goddamned terrifying. It’s the first video game I’ve ever played where I said “nope” and just turned it off like an hour in after I decided to try to go exploring underneath the ship wreckage and a horrible shrieking fish monster the size of a city bus came hurtling out of the gloom and nearly made me piss myself. The worst part is that you can hear it roaring in the distance when it spots you but you can’t loving see it until it’s far too late. That weird feeling of vulnerability you get from floating in deep water combined with the knowledge that everything is alien and weird and your utter lack of mobility near the start of the game was just pure blind terror for me. It was better once I got the mini-sub/big sub but that game gets an A++ for atmosphere. I think this thread actually got me to pick it up and keep playing after I quit and it was absolutely worth it. Putting “that area” right near the start of the game really hammers home “you aren’t safe here” and had me jumping at shadows for the rest of the game. Brilliant piece of game design

Captain Hygiene posted:I'm still salty years later after picking up Subnautica solely on account of goons talking about stuff like this, only to quit it shortly after realizing it was all that but also a resource collection/crafting game. I know, it's 100% my fault for not researching further, I just keep thinking about the terrifying underwater adventure I envisioned that had nothing to do with all that other stuff Well it scared the poo poo outta me. I loved the weird alien environs and your total inability to meaningfully defend yourself (more or less). I guess I never had played a “resource crafting game” before?

Ghost Leviathan posted:If you manage to scan that particular thing one way or another, you learn a fun fact: the roar is a form of sonar- if you can hear it, it knows where you are. Also, climbing out of the water doesn't necessarily protect you, as it can and will leap out of the water towards you. I never bothered with torpedoes because they seemed like a waste of resources. Once you get the shock field thingy for the mini-sub, it's pretty easy to just let them grab you, shock the poo poo out of them and then either run away or play dead until they gently caress off. I built a base in those acid caverns right near the home of the one in your avatar. He wasn't nearly as terrifying as the reapers and I treated him like a big dumb angry puppy.

Ghost Leviathan posted:There's definitely a thing where after enough encounters with the giant monsters the novelty wears off a bit, which to be fair helps you to actually explore deeper. Also fun thing about the scans, your attitude has it about right; the Reapers are voracious predators who see you as prey, but Ghosts are primarily filter feeders that are just territorial- after giving a headbutt they start to swim away expecting you to have gotten the message. There’s an adult that patrols the deep ocean on the way down to those acid caverns. I gave it a wide berth and it never bothered me.
