veni veni veni posted:Finally caved on BF1 with the sale, and Jesus Christ this game is gorgeous. Like, I'm familiar with how nice Dice games look this days but I was still kind of like "woah" when I fired it up. The guns feel absolutely brutal too, really looking forward to this after a Battlefield hiatus for a few years and my Titanfall 2 playing starting to wind down quite a bit. the pilot story is the best part, the italian one is a close second. Right up there with the intro sequence, oh hell the whole game is real good. FAUXTON fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Sep 26, 2017 |

Taratang posted:Is there a good summary anywhere of the absolute bare minimum one needs to know plot-wise going into MGS V: Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain if I've never played a MGS game before and don't really know characters outside of pop-culture/internet memes? The plot is always "covert operation devolves into vague clusterfuck with catastrophic stakes up to and including nuclear war started by a non-state actor with a gang of mutants and crazies in charge of a private army, possibly of clones."

sicDaniel posted:There's also Nier Automata which lets you play the first mission while it still loads, but you can't save during the mission and the game doesn't save your progress afterwards so you play for 30 minutes and then the game tells you you just wasted your time. Isn't that reflective of a major story point though

Montalvo posted:Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but some of the fights against the bigger dinomachines in HZD are starting to feel like a repetitive slog where I find myself constantly running around and plinking them with the same few sets of weapons. Kind of like a cycle on repeat. I've started to just avoid the bigger machines now, because I'd rather just get on with whatever else I was doing. Tie em down, freeze em, hit em with explodey ammo works well. Alternatively sneak up to a group and override one so you can have a buddy. Overriding a ravager and kiting glinthawks over towards its turf (over by that one Oseram town in the mountains where they get attacked by glinthawks) is something everyone should experience.

Snak posted:That's fair. Battlefield 1 has decent horse maneuvering manurevering while in motion, does a lot of automatic "gonna just step smoothly over this cinder block/sandbag instead of screeching to a halt" stuff. Insofar as I've experienced, MGSV is all right too, but also mainly in the motion of it, because I'm not thrilled about the 5-second cutscene every time you hop on the horse.

Renoistic posted:Ah it like this shouldn't be in a modern game. It's never fun. Never. It's not like 1:100, I'd say closer to 1:10 maybe? And you don't have to keep getting them, those drops are for stuff like permanent upgrades to bag/ammo capacity. The stuff you need to make, say, ammo? All over the place, plentiful enough that you end up never really being short on anything unless you specifically start selling whole stacks of wire and then stop killing things. There's a merchant selling all/nearly all the ammo ingredients, too, in case you do choose to drop all your wire and stop killing things.

Manatee Cannon posted:if looking good were enough, people wouldn't poo poo on the order. but it's not and they do The collectible poo poo is neat too though. The banuk sets and the metal flowers end up getting you into some neat places and the vantage set is a fairly engaging story even if you gotta take the effort to read it past what the voice clip covers. But the game is well-received for a more than just the visuals and not only because it triggers gamergate types.

To clarify, anything that only says "sell for metal shards" is vendor trash. Also you really don't end up short on shards except maybe really early or if you are trying to speedrun instead of going on safari.

Bust Rodd posted:I just did the 2nd side quest in horizon and the Spear upgrade just changed my playstyle from "Cautiously plink at weakpoint of robot" to "Smash them into scrap in one or two hits". Did the change in power come from the spear upgrade, the level up, or both? Are there lots of upgrades like these in sidequests? Both, and unfortunately the spear doesn't get much in the way of upgrades like that one. However, you have stuff in the skill tree that serve as similar boosts in power, and as the game unfolds you get to take advantage of some real cool poo poo.

good god the fireclaw hunt in TFW. One of them was in a fight with a few tramplers and scorchers and when I fast traveled in they ALL aggroed on me. Fire everywhere, roped as many as I could as fast as I could just to triage what I wanted to drop first. Managed to kill everything, after one hell of a frantic battle though, god drat.

man nurse posted:Something I'm not enjoying, however, is Horizon Zero Dawn. I feel like I got roped into the goon hype and I'm very dissapointed with it. I feel like your traversal options suck, the combat feels clunky, there's no sense of discovery, visual glitches pop up everywhere, and I'm tired of looting crafting items off the ground every five steps. What do people see in this game that makes it so great?  you're kind of saying you're experiencing the direct opposite of pretty major reasons people are enjoying/have enjoyed it, which is fairly strange but I could see someone expecting something like Dynasty Warriors or Soulsborne in the combat and coming out feeling it to be clunky by comparison. Sometimes a game doesn't click, and that happens often since the game experience process is inherently subjective. The same could be said about the climbing part if you're coming off Breath of the Wild or an AssCreed game where almost everything is climbable and you have grappling hooks and stuff. Most loot is super abundant in-game and you are kind of driven to be choosy rather than always be picking everything up, but that's not typical of most games and isn't driven home as a factor of gameplay by anything other than maybe your inventory size. Can't speak to the visual glitching part, though, it's being hailed even by other developers as an incredible game on a technical level, like frame timings and foliage density and stuff.

Morby posted:This is a good suggestion. In fact, I’d recommend playing Uncharted 1 on easy just to enjoy the story and set pieces without being bogged down with some shooting mechanics that haven’t aged super well. The rest you should be able to play on normal and up. Gonna second this. The shooting part of UC1 was a travesty but they improved on it real fast as the series unfolded. If I played through the series again I'd probably still laugh at all the cheap laugh lines. https://youtu.be/1wXoG0Li11w

Policenaut posted:Huh, this is kind of neat. Japanese city-builder and train game A-Train Express has keyboard & mouse support. A game like Cities Skylines or Tropico 5 could really do with something like that. Holy gently caress I loved the original on the PS. Got it in the big cardboard case and all. My cities were beautiful creations of light and rails, and then they went bankrupt because I'd gently caress up the placement of a maglev.

Even when using the 'correct' types of ammo I feel like I'm plinking away at health while even watchers can 2-hit me. honk off the disc launchers, rope him down and freeze him while heading for a (now on ground) disc launchers, and fire it at him as fast as possible.
