Think I have a pinched nerve in my arm. Now I'm not saying it's due to playing through Dark Souls in just over a week, but it sure didn't help. Be sure and take care of yourselves gamers.

If it doesn't go away, I would suggest visiting a neurologist about this. Certain types of pinched nerve are degenerative if not fixed, i.e. it will only get worse. Personal experience.

You should be reasonably capable of handling it around the time you deal with Rom. It's somewhat subjective though - not all areas are equally difficult and the bosses are simply a bitch and a half no matter when you try to fight them.

Which is, incidentally, about the level range you should be at by the time you fight Rom.

Higher level/going there later will make it easier, of course, but that's what I'd call the earliest point by which it starts becoming survivable.

I am also wondering this. I love Greek mythology

If you want the kind of gameplay you are used to from Asscreed games, then Odyssey is a bad choice. If you don't enjoy game worlds that are pretty much big for the sake of it but also kind of the same everywhere, then it's probably also not a good idea. If you like the idea of playing a game that is basically Xena: Warrior Princess: The Game, up to and including a sense of being very episodic rather than a single contiguous game and/or story experience, then Odyssey is perfect for you and I can very much recommend it.

I don�t like the gameplay of AssCreed at all tbh 😅

Well, it might work a lot better for you, then. It's (as mentioned) overall very reminiscent of Witcher 3 - you have a ton of randomized equipment, agile and dodge-based melee combat, and a bunch of special totally-not-magic assassin powers to mix it up a little, all running on top of a foundation of the free-form parkour movement that the AC series was built around.

Downsides include aggressive level scaling and very bullet-spongey enemies, but if you don't mind that, it's not a bad game. Not a game I personally liked a lot, but a good one nonetheless. There's just way too much of it, is the only real problem. The game is about three times the size and length that it should've been. Also, the DLC is nothing to write home about and I'd personally avoid it, but that's just my own opinion.

Yeah, for all intents and purposes, everything from Origins onwards is pretty much an entirely new series of games that just coincidentally shares a name and a few setting elements with the old AC games. If the old ones don't appeal to you, the new ones certainly still might. They barely even have anything in common anymore.

Valhalla more so than Odyssey. Odyssey ran smoothly on my (currently) pretty outdated PC - I've got a motherboard and CPU so old, they don't even sell them anymore. Valhalla is just overall buggy and badly optimized. It's one of the worst Ubisoft games in recent memory in that regard.

My own tolerance tends to peter out in direct proportion to how many new interesting abilities and game mechanics the game keeps giving me. I don't mind having a big world to gently caress around in, so long as it keeps giving me new cool things to do (and to do to the world). Odyssey is a bit... mediocre in that regard. There isn't anything that is quite as fun as releasing a biological weapon in the streets of Alexandria and watching people keel over by the literal truckload.

I'm currently playing Siralim 3, which I got for PC during the recent sale. It's a series of games that is basically ultra-complex roguelike Pokemon on crack, with more of just everything - RPG mechanics, light base building, random dungeons, crossbreeding, item crafting, equippable spells for your monsters, monster traits that synergize across your entire team... you name it, it has it. It's available for the PS4 as well and I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy that style of game.

Thanks. I'm not real concerned with finishing any particular questlines, Anri just seemed like an important character. If I play through again I'll be more careful.

No problem. Don't worry, there's nobody you can run into out there in the world who would break the game if they died on you. The quests in DS3 (as in all Dark Souls games) are easily derailed and often finicky, so it's completely normal to fail them somewhere in the middle your first time around.

At this point I’m still watching them to see how hard they spitroast the game. I’ve never seen a AAA game so universally reviled and dunked on before. I feel like everyone sort of hates this game.

Hardly, but I guess you're only seeing a fairly one-sided representation of it so far. A lot of people are somewhat disappointed with it, because it's very different from Odyssey in a way that a lot of people don't quite feel are an improvement. The bugs, of course, are a legitimate criticism and deserve the scorn they get, but to say that everyone who played it hates it would be an overstatement. It just isn't quite living up to the vastly excessive expectations many people had.

"A good game to quit halfway through" kinda sounds like a game not worth playing

I quit most games halfway through, so as far a I'm concerned that would just make it average... but on the other hand, I have absolutely no interest in buying or playing Valhalla at any point, because it looks exactly the same as the two games before it but more boring, so I can't disagree with the overall sentiment of "spend the money on something better" either.

It's great, yeah. That is one of the biggest "oh gently caress, poo poo is getting real" moments in the entire game.

Handsome Wife posted:

The word "oval office" isn't considered offensive in the US because it's "gross", it's because historically the way the word has been used in the US has been deeply misogynistic. When an American uses the word it has an extremely different connotation culturally, e.g. you wouldn't hear an American call a man a "oval office", it would sound weird because it's an extremely gendered insult here.

Well, that explains a lot. I've always wondered why that word makes Americans so upset when calling a man a pussy is fine (well, for a certain definition of "fine," you know what I mean)

Oh, you absolutely nailed it. I've had trouble putting an exact word on how it felt, but completely soulless is spot on. Possibly more empty and soulless than any game I've ever played, or at least high up there on the shovelware scale.

I always felt that the Watchdogs series had something soulless and generic about it even at its most playable, and Watchdogs Legion definitely dials that feeling up to 11. It is everything that was bad about the previous games, but more so.

What the hell is this poo poo. It's the version of the game printed on the discs people are buying with their money, sounds like a commercial release to me. If CDPR didn't want people to encounter this version of the game and be judged by it then they shouldn't have loving printed it onto a bazillion discs and sold them

No kidding. How are we supposed to even take that seriously? "Oh no, this is totally not the finished version of the game, that's why we pressed a ton of copies and shipped it off to the stores, because it's not the finished game," that's just not the kind of thing that accidentally happens. I really don't know what to make of this. Is it even possible for a company to genuinely gently caress up that badly?

Bugsnax is a great game and I unironically love it. The voice acting is absolutely ace, some of the best I've heard all year and definitely the best I've heard in this release period. Both the NPCs and the titular bugsnax just ooze personality. There aren't many things that make me wince and go "oh god, not this guy again" in a game as the mighty cry of COB...HOPPEEEEEER as an animated cob of corn yeets itself through the air above my head.

This semantic debate over what is a release version is dumb and beside the point. The point is that if you can purchase a copy of a game in a store for money and then play it, you should be able to expect that it is of release quality.

It really boils down to that. When someone sells you a product, its not asking too much that it be in a fully usable state out of the literal or metaphorical box. People who play video games have become far too accustomed to accepting a half-functional mess as the base state in which any new game is released.

In all fairness, reviewers review prerelease versions all the time so that they can get their reviews done before street release day, so that's not necessarily an argument. It is a bit of a problem if the buggy pre-release review version is also the one that's lying on the shelves in stores, though.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best-looking games of the generation, so that's a bit of a high bar to measure up to by any definition. FF7R is not an ugly game, even if it isn't quite up to that standard.

I think the stances somewhat mechanically contradict the idea that any solution is equally viable. There's a correct way to handle any given enemy in straight combat, as far as the game is concerned, and that's by switching to the stance that neutralizes their special gimmick.

FF7R is definitely a complete game in terms of content and mechanics, considering how long it is. It's not exactly unfair to say that it's basically designed to be released episodically either, though, so the strength of the whole thing will only really be possible to judge by the time they're completely done with it. FF7 is a single experience, and even if they made a good effort to portion it up so that no individual episode of the remake leaves you hanging, it's still not quite the whole thing.

I think the big legit concern is that while genitals are swappable or removable on any body model, gender pronouns are locked to your voice choice, which from the trans folx reaction seems to be a huge misstep

Like the complete fixation on genital stuff, especially in marketing and with dildos scattered around the world like cheese wheels in Skyrim, definitely makes it seem more like a fetishization thing

Well, that's discouraging to hear and seem to confirm more than it disproves my standing concern that the whole thing might be more of a puerile "lol, dicks" thing than something that has any real point to it.

The GF says in Spanish this applies not to the verb it's actually certain adjectives. With some the ending depends on your gender, like when describing a state you are in, for example "I am tired" or "I am drunk".

Maybe they mean this?

Yeah, that would be correct. "Soy rubio/Soy rubia" are the masculine and feminine ways to state that you are blonde, respectively. I suppose that could be a limiting factor, but I don't know anything about the expenses involved in voice acting.

Deepnest and the Howling Cliff have stag stations, although they're finicky to get to. I don't think the Royal Waterways do, though.

About 25% of epileptics experience their first seizure after the age of 25, so this sort of thing is more of a general health risk than you'd expect, even to people who wouldn't have thought it affects them in any way.

Cyberpunk is egregious because it has something that quite clearly induces guaranteed seizures in multiple people and should not have gotten into the game anywhere past an early design phase.

Pretty much, really. Just about every game these days will give you an epilepsy and seizure warning on startup as a matter of course, but the number of games that have been demonstrated to actually induce seizures (and during very specific sequences at that) can be counted on a single hand.
