man nurse posted:In what world are we living where Inquisition is considered a bad game One where severe repetition in both the quests and combat is considered dull? I've been checking out Stories: Path of Destinies and it's a surprisingly interesting game. I wasn't expecting much: anthropomorphic hero goes on a quest to save the day, some hack-and-slash gameplay, nothing special. What I got was an involved combat system reminiscent of the recent Batman titles, a groundhog-day-style storyline, and some actual mature-ish plot (as in, you get shanked in the back or frozen for billions of years only to have an expanding sun incinerate you, and a plot by an insane emperor to annihilate the world in a dark ceremony, among other things). I'm impressed, and plan to play as much of the game as I can to find out all the different plotlines. One caveat is that it can be problematic how often you visit the same levels again and again (due to the nature of the game), but the enemies consistently get stronger and more varied, and there's different stuff to explore.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Holy gently caress Yakuza 0 is out in less than 2 weeks 😳😳😳😳 no EU preorder but that's a day 1 purchase. It is a very fun game, so many sidestories and poo poo to do, even the 100% stuff is much better done (you earn Completion Points by accomplishing goals that would've normally got you nothing before, which you can spend to improve tertiary abilities like dashing speed or income). Bouncing between Goro and Kiryu is alright, though frankly I prefer having a single protagonist, and there's a phone club where Kiryu can go to get his dick wet. Then he can drive little pocket racers. Oh and like 90% of the substories end with some sappy music and Kiryu + his rescuee reminiscing about bonding over brotherhood or family or some other 'very special episode' nonsense which is great.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Is it as funny as 5? Cos that's probably the funniest game I've ever played. Funny? Hmm, tough to say. I will say that there is a substory where you're trying to buy a porn magazine for child from a vending machine in a 'scary' alleyway, but have to play solid snake around gossipy women and your coworker who happen to be milling around. Then you tell the child to not hide it under the bed because...dramatic pause..."It's not as good of a hiding spot as you think." Also the kid doesn't know it's porn, he just wants it because the vending machine looks nice and it's in a bag, which means it must be special!

Which, I mean okay more power to the man and all but that's certainly not 'dressed weird'.

I mean, how many people got into the Dangan Ronpa series because of the one translation LP that these forums hosted? Hell, I bought the sequel because of it. Likewise, I purchase both the second and third Zero Escape games after reading the first one's LP on this site. Without those I probably wouldn't have given a poo poo about either of the series.

Yo guys maybe you can help me out with this hardware issue I've been having lately - my controllers don't connect particularly well to my console anymore. They're fine as long as they have line-of-sight, or are fairly close, but if like I put them on my lap and my leg is blocking the path to the console, the input is either extremely laggy (multiple seconds) or simply not responsive at all. It occurs with all my controllers so I'm assuming it's something to do with the console, but I'm not sure. It's nothing more than an annoyance at the moment, but one I'd like to address if possible. It started occurring soon after I started using an external drive...though I can't imagine if that'd have anything to do with it. Also the PS4 is not exactly new - White Destiny PS4 - but I keep my consoles in good condition.

So I played the demo of The Surge over the weekend (technically the demo was on Steam) and...I really liked it? The idea of cutting off robot components to craft them and stuff is pretty enticing to me, and I like the combat system. It's a Souls clone, for sure, but at least with the content in the demo, it looks like a pretty good one. Problems I can foresee would be samey environments and enemies, but I've never cared about that sort of thing. I just want to cut bits off and wear them. Has anyone played it on PS4 and can comment on how well it runs?

Geez guys, I was playing Mass Effect the other day? And you know what? Anime. Just, anime! So I decided to play some Horizon instead. Was pretty good for a while, until the anime. Then I was like "No! No to anime!" so now I'm playing Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and I'm pretty sure it's not anime but I'm keeping an eye out and will let you know.

Not going to lie I like the, uh, 'art style' of that game. Like, not the art itself, but the proportions of the main character. It's like they armored up a cartoon with grim fantasy armor. Game's probably terrible, mind you.

The game Stories: Path of Destinies was pretty good with that - they had a bevy of different attacks that were useful, but not required, against certain enemies. But there weren't so many attacks that it became confusing, nor did you need to remember a ton of combinations. Too bad the entire game was built around a lot of repetition (and some unskippable sequences, which became unbearable the 20th time around)

I've been enjoying Just Cause 3 lately. Some of the challenges are dumb and having to sit through the load each time to restart them is a bit of a pain in the rear end, but whatever, the game is fun and my gf likes to watch me play it so everyone's happy. I really love the un-garage-d car detector, despite it crushing any progress I can make in the game. "Oh I'll just go to this mission and I- oh wait there's a car I don't have." *drives to garage* "Okay, that's done, time to- wait that boat is new too I think?" *drives to garage* "And awaaaaay we g- gently caress I need that lovely truck, gimme." *drives to garage*

Digirat posted:Ok here's the ranking Woah, sounds we might have a scrub here. HEY GUYS I THINK WE HAVE A SCRUB. *alarms sound in the distance* No but seriously I've found I don't really give a poo poo about the games' differences in mechanics - I tend to be more drawn in by finding new stuff, locations, that kind of thing. I like going slowly through areas and just exploring them. Which is why I tend to like certain things in certain games, rather than the game itself because it's faster, or enemies track less, or whatever.

I am genuinely impressed at the work that these guys have put into No Man's Sky. A lot of devs, after releasing such a widely panned game, would've dumped it after a cursory bug patch or two but this team seems genuinely committed to pulling a good game out of what they released.

Neo Rasa posted:Came here to post exactly this. I actually went into the demo totally blind beyond "it's a sci-fi game" so I was thrilled that it was a more adventurey kind of thing, but the jankiness made me definitely not want to drop $59.99 on it. He joins the workforce to get this exosuit that'll help him walk. Unfortunately most of the poo poo is automated, and things gently caress up somehow (probably related to the crazy robot poo poo) and the anesthetic isn't applied, nor are his clothes removed or something. He is discarded as a failure, but isn't actually a failure, just a machinery fuckup. I thiiink he is discarded far from the actual operations center? That's how I read into it, anyway.

I haven't gotten really mad at video games since I used to bite NES controllers as a child. I would sometimes spin SNES controllers around by the wire in bored frustration, but stopped when I realized that was damaging them. Nowadays when I get mad, I, uh, well, keep playing. In my mind if I stop playing, I'll get out of that 'flow' state and lose whatever muscle memory I've been building up, so I just power through.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Can anyone who has Prey confirm that the game still feels like it has REALLY bad input lag? I thought it was my new TV but I've tried a few other games and they don't feel anywhere near as bad. Prey, fully patched, feels like you're controlling a really slow tank. I've never noticed this, but I suspect that even if there was still a problem I wouldn't notice it anyway. I'm also one of those plebs that doesn't give a drat about framerate dips. I do remember hearing a number of complaints about Prey's controls, supposedly they had been patched out but I guess not?

revolther posted:Pretty much everyone who buys AC games has terrible taste. I'll say it again, more blatantly, the Assassin's Creed games have always been terrible.. Personally I don't think they've always been terrible, per se, but they've always been...I don't know, perfectly average. Three stars out of five. You know exactly what you're going to get, there's nothing wildly new in any of the games, they're just, safe. Black Flag was a big change to this formula, what with exploring the carribean and all, but beyond that, it's pretty vanilla all the way. And of course there are more games that swing the other way into 'terrible-to-mediocre' territory, but for the most part that's not the norm.
