Ghost Leviathan posted:That was even implied in one of the old games, with Duke at a BDSM club where the dominatrix looked a lot like a female Duke and he seemed into it. Those games were my stepdads and I was only allowed to play with the adult stuff turned off. I thought it was a glitch the first time I handed money to the air, and it scared the hell out of me whenever there was one of those nake-pod girls, they'd be invisible but still make noise and block your way. ONe time I couldnd't get somewhere so started blasting the walls and inadvertently kill one of the invisible pod people and the gore suddenly showed up out of nowhere, was super freaky.

Iceborne added a lot of cool monsters, but otherwise ruined MH:W with high MR gating, clutch claw wounding, and Guiding Lands content.

I don't think anything comes close to Nintendo, and I say that as someone who lost interest in them a couple years after the Wii came out. They've churned out above average games for 40 years and have several all time greats. Second would be Capcom I guess. If Cyberpunk ends up as good as it looks I'll probably put CDPR third.

I'm not much of a trophy hunter in games at all, but I really hate that most games seemed to have ditched giving out trophies for playing on the hardest difficulty. it was always sort of satisfying seeing some trophy 90% of people didn't get pop, and now the only motivation to play on hard is your own masochism in most games. it was just fun to have a little way to brag about beating some game on the most ridiculous difficulty. Overall I'd probably be more into trophies if they involved doing something challenging vs just checking boxes.

food court bailiff posted:that is not at all how you spell “capcom except that weird time in the mid aughts where a lot of their stuff was unplayably bad” Apparently a lot of that was that Capcom and a lot of other Japanese game designers thought they needed to appeal to Americans and discard what made their games 'Japanese' to get Call of Duty sales numbers, and had to backtrack a while later realising they were chasing a demographic that didn't exist while neglecting the people that actually liked their stuff. Mostly from just watching a video about DmC: Devil May Cry mind, which ironically came out right about when Capcom had started reversing course in earnest. HD development might actually have been more of a mass extinction event for developers than the 3D leap. Certainly reminded of how it's basically a sink-or-swim phase in Game Dev Tycoon where you can suddenly barely stay afloat.

for example: halo becomes more fun on legendary mode, because while halo is a kind of stupid, bro-ey xbox game, the combat itself is actually well designed and highly dependent on player input and skill. bioshock on the other hand has a hard mode where the bullet sponge enemies just become spongier and harder to hit. this hard mode sucks because bioshock sucks and its combat just requires a player to go through the motions and deal with a certain degree of randomness, factors which only become more severe when you turn up the difficulty dial there should be an established canon of quality videogames that every schoolchild should play

Difficulty options in games are stupid. Games should have a single balanced path of resistance and I shouldn't really be able to deviate from that. It's partly why something like a Dark Souls is so good, it has a base difficulty and you can't really manipulate that in the game world (although you can get outside information which helps). This is great because it means a) people who are not good at the game won't get the full experience and b) people who are too good won't put 500+ hours into a single dark souls run for the braglols, both these scenarios are desirable. I've made a list of some specific games and the comments I would like to make re their difficulty Nier: Automata - People actually play this above Easy which is insane to me, its a perfect example of a game using a higher difficulty to pad out its length without adding to the experience. Uncharted games - Again, playing on the easiest difficulty makes the games a fun action-hero style romp. Playing on Hard means you have to sit in cover and plink away shots Persona 5 - Not a great game but absurdly boring in Easy mode, the combat system felt excellent and very well balanced in Normal, playing on easy invalidated all the fun aspects of the combat and combined with the piss poor story made the whole experience dull Sekiro - This game is very difficult and I might never finish it (got stuck at the Corrupted Monk) and thats OK! That is all

Prey gets much less interesting the higher you crank the difficulty, and this goes double for the extra difficulty settings that they added with weapon deterioration and suit damage leaking oxygen. It forces you to play the mediocre game rather than enjoy the setting.

It forces you to play the mediocre game rather than enjoy the setting. I wouldn’t even say that the game is mediocre, things like that just make you pay attention to arbitrary stuff instead of doing what the game excels at. The combat isn’t the reason to play Prey, using the tools you’re given in thoughtful ways in a well-simulated environment is. And sometimes that involves combat, and sometimes it doesn’t. But a difficulty setting doesn’t really do anything to make what the game is good at better.

Thing is game publishers these days are terrified that any segment of their audience won't even see the content they put so much money into making, so they try to drag the player to the credits by any means necessary. More the problem is devs can't form any consensus on what difficulty settings should be. With most AAA games the hard to hardest starting difficulty is the only one that actually takes off the training wheels, while with say, Platinum games, the Normal difficulty starts ramping up HARD later on.

I'm finding as I get older I vastly prefer PC gaming because with a few minutes of installing or setting up I can add ease of use mods, load cheat engine tables, or just run a trainer of some kind if a game gets frustrating and grind-y. I've noticed pretty quick that for a lot of games the difficulty spikes are usually "player takes more damage, enemies require more damage to die" which is just a way of padding out the game by forcing the player to spend more and more time on the same fights having to get timings down and then if there's a sudden mistake or the camera shifts in a unexpected direction whoops there goes the last hour of your life. Try again buddy.

The term should be reserved for games that actually play like the original Rogue like Nethack. Also, Binding of Isaac sucks. It's looks and plays like a Newgrounds flash game. One of the worst games I've ever played.
