Getting good at effective blocking upped my game more than any other single thing. It wasn't until fighting Malicos that I started to figure it out.

Now that I'm dicking around with trying to get kyanite, I appreciate the Cyclops. Still not fond of the handling, but it's an underwater bus so I shouldn't expect great maneuverability.

Let’s see: Generic open world elements Some lame resource/crafting Great story Interesting and novel concepts that are executed well Female protagonist that isn’t objectified Not really sure if it wants to be an ARPG or not Dino bots Very satisfying combat and combo strings Think I’d want to play that one with a controller tbh. Definitely an 8 or 9 out of 10. Up there with God of a War and TLOU2

Okay, that sounds pretty sweet. I'm absolutely ham fisted with a controller though, I couldn't even use one for streets of rage 4. Keyboard and mouse has ruined me.

I'll let you know how it goes on m+kb or if I switch to my controller, since I'm buying and replaying it on Steam.

oh yeah and there’s tons of different ways to do combat You can stalk around and take things down more stealth, while having laid traps before, or just go in guns blazing

Anybody have opinions on Monster Hunter World? Cause I half remembered a game about hunting dinosaurs, and scooped up that one instead of Horizon during the Steam sale. Playing through the intro section now, and I'm getting the feeling I hosed up.

Fired up Subnautica on my laptop for the first time and it made it chug like crazy. It's a 3 y.o. MacBook pro, so i'm a little surprised. Gonna mess around with the settings today or tomorrow to see what I can do.

Gonna mess around with the settings today or tomorrow to see what I can do. Subnautica is one of those unoptimized Unity games that runs like rear end on a lot of configurations. You can probably get it running ok if you're willing to sacrifice on resolution but it won't look great.

All I can think of is the Polygon review that said that a game that tells us that humanity will continue to murder each other out of spite while the world goes to poo poo seems to ring very hollow when we live in a world now where people are coming together despite society failing many of us to demand better things got each other.

Tribalism. Some of us are coming together while others are willing to kill us all because we aren't on their team and are therefore wrong.

I have a really big issue with a lot of apocalypse fiction for this reason. Human history is full of misery and they’re not wrong to point out how venal and vicious we are, but we made tribes and civilizations with nothing guiding us but ourselves. It seems really shallow to endlessly dig into how people are bad to each other without really exploring anything else. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jul 10, 2020 |

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:no spoilers but what y’all thinking of TLOU II I just finished it. I enjoyed it a lot, but I found it to be an extremely emotionally draining game. Especially the last third or so. It plays really well, combat feels frantic when you get into actual firefights and the stealth works well. You'll probably pick the mechanics right back up. It is absolutely gorgeous. They nailed the environments and the decay/natural reclamation of Seattle. I felt that the game really shined in the quiet moments where characters are just talking with each other, but it offers up a lot. The sound design is insane too. I was just playing off of my TV speakers, and there were times when I legitimately thought that there were crickets in my house. Now to pick up Deadly Premonitions Two because apparently I'm on a horror game kick.

Most zombie fiction is like this because 95% of the genre is, at its core, tough guy survivalist wish fulfillment

A book/movie/game where everyone gets along fine isn't very interesting. It's certainly fiction though.

There’s structurally very little difference between washing up on an island with survivors and playing co-op Minecraft, for example.

Godholio posted:Where they completely sidestep human interaction, sure. I think you just have a hole in your game experience called “Largely nonviolent and without human on human combat.” Co-op human interaction problem solving is a big ole genre! There are so many games where it’s survival and sometimes there’s violence but it isn’t remotely close to the bullshit mega-gnarly apocalypse or utter bullshit Lord of the Flies take. Most cases of people getting stranded or whatever, they turn out working together and succeeding or failing or getting into some disputes, not dawning bone armor and stabbing each other on day 3.

Lone wolves loving die in the long run. All the tough guy poo poo aside, like it's not even a good strategy to have a very small group of people, since everyone has to take on more responsibilities directly. Like even snake eaters get resupplied and poo poo after a while. They don't go home and live like that for a loving reason, and it's because a life of pure survival isn't sustainable. We ALWAYS make big groups. People wanna skate.

I wonder if this one will feel more like Dying Light? I liked traversing the city in that game. I’m not really big on huge outdoor areas these days.
