Xaris posted:Uhh I'm not sure what you mean so perhaps I'm not understanding your point. COD started off with WW2 and has 4/5 games set in WW2 that were quite good. Did you never play them? There's absolutely no reason WW2 doesn't work and it has worked great for many games over the years. If they can recapture the spirit of CoD and UO they're going to have a very good game indeed. The landing in CoD was loving incredible at the time.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:I know we all made our peace with occasionally being Nazis in MP WW2 games a long time ago but you know, considering the current moment in history, I feel like that could turn out pretty badly? Like PSN/XBL might want to bring in an army of temps release week to mash those ban buttons. I feel like things have gone bad because there aren't enough WW2 games out where you shoot Nazis.

Live At Five! posted:I'm sick of modern shooters but I'd be interested in things set in the past if it's been overlooked, like WW1 or Korea. Hell even a Vietnam setting isn't as overdone as WW2 or modern shooters. My issue with the CoD style future setting is that it doesn't seem all that different from a modern setting, just with lasers and wall running. Plus something set in reality feels like it has more weight to it. BF1 got me to learn a hell of a lot more on WW1 than I would ever know if it was never made. Give me a fuckin' Telltale M*A*S*H game.

Xaris posted:I started Nioh several days ago and decided I'm really just not having fun with it. I liked the intro London level a fair amount, and thought it seemed promising, then after playing a few missions after that I just was like "gently caress I'm really not enjoying this" halfway through. I'm not even really sure what rubs me wrong but something just does. Does it actually pickup at all? I like Nioh a lot more than darksouls and rate it alongside BB, but I like them for different reasons. Nioh will eventually become much more like Ninja Gaiden as you progress and once you master ki pulses and poo poo you'll be attacking non stop while blocking and dodging the right attacks from enemies. I think Nioh shines when you are fighting human bosses like ninjas and other samurai and if you invest in learning the combat system its really loving deep and more along the lines of a fighter than a souls game. I haven't finished Horizon, Nier or Last Guardian because of Nioh, so I obviously loving love it, but I can understand why it might not be for everyone.

Digirat posted:I'm a little over halfway through the game and wouldn't say so, in that interval at least. I enjoyed it at the start but am struggling to enjoy it the further I go, so I put it on hold for now. Something happens every 5 minutes or less that makes no sense, and the game doesn't explain any of it so I feel like I understand it less and less as I go on. Do you mean the story or the gameplay? Half the items and abilities in the game flat out lie about what they do which is kind of infuriating. I understood the story fine, I have a lot more trouble understanding my motivation in souls and bb.

Digirat posted:The gameplay. I mean the story doesn't make much sense either (the descriptions of the cutscenes in the menu barely match what they actually show) but it's the gameplay that's getting to me. I may need to read up on skills and items if the ingame descriptions aren't accurate. I didn't understand how to play the game until I'd nearly finished NG. The weapon specific dojos will teach you some poo poo but they unlock in the final region which is very helpful. CharlestheHammer posted:Nioh doesn't have a story, it has random cutscenes spliced together. It makes perfect sense if you have the feudal Japan wikipedia page open next to you while playing. I actually thought it was kind of cute going through the game as this Irish dude trying to get his childhood friend back while going "what the gently caress is this dude on about" during every cutscene. It felt authentic.

Policenaut posted:I'm playing the DLC right now and it's pretty rad. I like all the new enemy types although I'm not too sold on the new weapon, but I can't complain as the parry window on countering NPCs using it is basically large enough that you can sneeze at any point during an attack and get it. I played through the DLC using the Odachi. It's got a weird moveset that you need to set up in skill selection, then you can chain through different stances without manually changing. I made it work in an ok fashion, but I imagine there are more skilled people around pulling off baller combos with it.

I wandered around HZD just finding random stuff but not putting in effort when it came to collectables. By the time I was mid game I had bought all the purple gear I could need and was making GBS threads on everything the game could throw at me. I didn't realise the collectables unlocked anything else of note since I felt like I was already off the hook power wise.

exquisite tea posted:I think the near-identical format of every Telltale game really undercuts their narrative goals. Once you've played a few of them the story beats become painfully predictable, which is something you absolutely do not want to happen in a story-driven game that's meant to keep the player guessing. Oh look, another flashpoint where I have to choose which of two characters to save. Oh look, I'm making a monumental decision that's just going to be reversed 5 minutes later. Until Dawn's horror movie format was a brilliant move because even though there are only a few select points where the characters can die, the knowledge that they CAN all die maintains tension throughout. I didn't think Until Dawn would be good. I played through it with my gf and we had a ball. Highly recommended game.
