I have been catching up on some of the classics lately, yesterday I played through Uncharted 3 in about 8 hours.

I remember 1 and 2 fondly, despite their flaws, in my recollection I enjoyed them both a lot. But hoooh boy did U3 infuriate me at times.

Escape sequences where you run towards the camera and can't see where you're going or supposed to be going? Good game design.

A shootout in a sandstorm with piss poor visibility, yet every single enemy AI beans you in the head from 100 yards away and tosses a grenade into your back pocket as soon as you peek out of cover? Awesome.

How can we make shooting on a platform that isn't known for precision aiming even worse? A SHOOTY CAR CHASE! But wait, there's more: YOU'RE ON A HORSE NOW!

And the nonstop action set pieces just felt like too. loving. much.
How much bad luck (or extremely good luck, depending on the perspective) can one guy have? At a certain point you just keep pushing the stick up, hammer "X" and roll your eyes when yet another pipe breaks beneath your weight.

Yeah, the capsized cruise ship was pretty awesome. Did we need the plane crash right after that? Ironically that's followed by the super boring desert walking simulator. I am aware I'm complaining it's too much action at times and then too boring. Maybe I'm getting too old for this poo poo.

Now I'm reluctant to fire up Uncharted 4. Is it a step up from Drake's Deception or just more of the same, but prettier?

If they had gone the alias route there wouldn't be any danger of older games messing up, they'd just show the old username. It sounds like they've actually somehow enabled editing the username field without removing its status as primary key, which is even dumber than using it as primary key in the first place.


Route B has significant differences from route A, but mostly in the back half of the game. Feel free to skip any repeated sidequests and busywork for a faster playthrough, nothing is missable. After route B you unlock route C which is radically different from both A and B.

The stuff to upgrade weapons isnt even available in A. You are right where you should be. You should be combining chips though once you figure out what build you like.

They should NOT be called "endings" routes are like chapters and meant to go in order narratively. You won't be just 'repeating the game' over and over from here on after B.

NOTHING IS MISSABLE. Dont try to be a completionist, imo, but know you can later if you choose.

Even the second half of B is very different from A, along with the the new sidequests and other story content. There's really only a few hours that are exactly the same as what you did before

also despite initial appearances 9S is actually a good deal stronger than 2B even without hacking

equip him with a fist or spear weapon and he'll make mince of everything since his combo speed is way more rapid even if he's not as flashy

Yeah, route B sucks for a lot of newcomers and I can sympathize. But it gets really cool when you do the big boss at the flooded city and especially the return to the factory.

Then after that you get to route C, which is completely 100% new and amazing.

If you haven't noticed already, all your sidequests and weapons are saved. So if you want you can just tear through the main quests and you'll get to the new stuff soon.

I don't blame you for being frustrated. B is certainly repetitive and a little boring. But trust me, a random goon, it's all worth it in the end. I'll never argue that NieR is perfect, and there are certainly games that have a much higher average quality. But when it all comes together, it's worth the struggle.

I'm at 50% and STILL getting tutorials. It's one of those weird open world games where you dont know when you should just strike out on your own because you dont have all the tools (literally).

I like how Horizon did it where the sizable starting area gave you most everything and had a test to get out of it.

Rdr2 example. I random encounters some guys trying to crack a safe they stole. Killed them for ot cause they threatened me, but i had no lock picking or dynamite or any way to open it. I just couldnt do anything. cause I explored all the way to Not-NewOrleans way early. Going after black belle and just kept going.

You're supposed to die to the wolf did you just turn it off the second you died both times

Bombadilillo posted:

What? After you got your weapon right? Something has gone terribly wrong.

Sakurazuka posted:

Like the first wolf? You get up and try punching it and die because you've no weapons and get sent to the hunters dream where you pick up some weapons and then the game actually starts?

Bombadilillo posted:

Oh friend. Things have gone wrong and it's not your fault.

That's a mandatory death

There are lil signs on the ground where it takes you that will give you a weapon of your choice and gun of your choice so when you respawn you can actually fight it.

It's got FROM obtuseness and as a from whore, (I took a rdr2 break and players all of dark souls 2) I know it's not for everyone. But I encourage you to give it another shot*

*WHEN you are in the mood. You have to be in a real state of mind to play a from game.

I think you may have a bad first taste that will stop you from experiencing one of the best games ever.

Scholar of the first Sin is better

The only horse I ever had die was my first arabian ten minutes after buying it and I loving knew it would happen. I just bought another and coldly wrote off the first one.

He beats very serious people at highly technical games while wearing it. Its a huge power move to strut in as the greatest of all time and sit down next to some guy in a huge blue fetish suit and force them to keep their cool.

Also please let us know who else is assaulting your senses with fetish gear that you are so fed up with it.

That’s just the missions you can do with your camp, fishing and house robbery etc. Pretty sure no stranger missions work that way.
