I liked the gene thing that lets you cloak if you hold still. Everything else about Bioshock was just kinda mediocre. I don't regret playing it but I've never replayed it and I've never played any of the sequels. Burgerface guy is right about the sister murder being pretty dumb since there's a clear optimal choice. And even if it's not clear right away it doesn't take a genius to decide that it's probably best not to suck the soul out of small girls.

SpaceClown posted:fetish mods are great how dare you knock them I downloaded a bunch of mods for Skyrim once. Not one of them was sexual in nature but for some reason nobody in the game had pants. Like not even the little loincloths, they were bare assed. I got that sorted somehow but I don't remember what I did. Crippled my immersion it's cold in Skyrim and there's no way Karliah's story would have had the same impact (moved me to tears the first time) if I could see her butt.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:loving axis weirdos When you want to look up in real life you tilt your head back. When you want to look down you tilt your head forward. Same deal with a mouse to look in a video game. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE CAN DO IT ANY OTHER WAY I CAN'T. I don't judge you for it, but it is absolutely bizarre to me. It feels so, so wrong. Invert forever.

Caesar Saladin posted:skyrim is so devoid of actual gameplay i don't understand how people play it and keep their brain occupied. i think it may have the single worst combat of any video game, I cannot think of a game where fighting is less satisfying. The dialogue is all just retards gawking in your face all glitchy like and none of them have anything interesting to say, just dumb boring viking bullshit. Mods are for dorks, just sell me a good video game out of the box. I've been wondering since Daggerfall when an Elder Scrolls game is going to have smooth fast combat but they never do. I remember playing Kingdom of Amaleur or whatever it was called and thinking that that sort of flow and speed should be required for a game with primarily melee combat. Like that game wasn't spectacular and the company drama surrounding it was horrendous but I could swing a sword in it and not feel like I'm underwater, in a tinman costume, and freshly injected with thorazine, and that was good.

VideoTapir posted:I've never played Binding of Isaac because it looks ugly and the premise plus its twee design are Trying Too Hard. I've never played Isaac because I find the whole subject matter way more unpleasant than I want in a game I'm supposed to pour hundreds of hours into. I've never played Factorio because it seems like you're building poo poo for the sake of building poo poo and I know that's true of a lot of games but for some reason Factorio is especially Sisyphean about it. Endless conveyors and gears and production chains like some kind of small slice of Hell for engineers.

Repairing in the Witcher 3 annoyed me greatly so I modded it out. Turned out the game was still boring even with that problem solved. Garbage combat. Oh but it's a huge world and there's so much to explore no there isn't you drat clown everything on the map is labeled with helpful icons.

Torquemada posted:This is literally what should have happened with SW:TOR. It's essentially 8 iterations of KotOR with a sub par endgame, removing the social aspect would have improved the whole experience immensely. I enjoyed SWTOR for what it was but goddamn the expansions suck. They have an entire galaxy who's single most important defining trait is "a very obvious heavy handed split between good and evil" and they spend all the expansion time blurring that line to some stupid "the truth is in the middle" bullshit. Let me play a loving Sith, assholes. It's goddamn Star Wars.

I found the Witcher 3 kinda boring and I never finished it, but calling it a bad game is bullshit. Also re: RPGs with good combat, Amalur comes to mind. Moving and attacking felt fast and fluid. I would kill for an Elder Scrolls game where I had that sense of agility.

The Infinity Engine was trash and everything using it or an engine based on it has also been trash. That includes the original Baldur's Gate, the motherfucking KING of trash, up to and including Pillars of Eternity, which I tried three separate times to get into and couldn't manage to get much further than the first town. So...loving...boring.

Speed running is stupid because they're usually cheating. Some dude beat Diablo in six minutes but he basically rerolled each level hundreds of times until the stairs down spawned right next to the stairs up on every single level. That's not speed running that's save scumming, you're a liar and the worst kind of nerd. If I was emperor of the world you better loving believe there'd be consequences.

Probably my favorite FPS level ever is a Blood map, I think in episode 2, that's just a huge sprawling mansion. There are zero human enemies, it's all undead and other monsters. The whole thing just loving oozes surreal atmosphere somehow. I mean all of Blood kind of did that, but this level nailed it like no other.

Lazyhound posted:I just started playing Baldur’s Gate and can’t understand why it’s well-remembered, or was even well-received at the time it was released. Fallout came out the year before it and managed to not be a poorly-designed, player-hostile, joyless pile of poo poo. I'm one of the apparent minority who think Baldur's Gate and all infinity engine and similar engine games were complete rear end up to and including Pillars of Eternity. poo poo pathfinding and the crappiest combat the world has ever known. Whoever thought real time combat with pausing every 2-3 seconds was good gameplay needs to be vigorously flogged.

Oscar Wild posted:There is also a low barrier to entry. At it's most basic you run around and shoot poo poo. It's not mechanically complicated to pick up, and there is enough illusion of "hey, I can win this next match." To keep people hooked. It's kinda also the first time that 100 people could be on a map at the same time, isn't it? That illusion is very very easy to maintain too. My second game of PUBG (this was pretty early on when things were REALLY buggy) ever I ended up bugging out my interface somehow so I couldn't loot anything. Trying to fix it I accidentally took off and dropped my pants. I spent the entire match running around in my underwear, weaponless, and made it to the top 10. I got killed when the circle got small enough that I had nowhere left to go so I just bum rushed the first dude I saw, who probably was surprised to find a naked pugilist up in his face at this stage of the game. Admittedly, that was a fun match, and the fact that things like that can happen does make the game compelling. But I think PUBG's engine is terrible and it tries to hard to look realistic. I've realized in the last few years that I really prefer stylized art. I haven't played Fortnite and probably won't, but I much prefer it's cartoony look to what PUBG is going for.

Harrow posted:Similarly, games like Mass Effect 3 or Pillars of Eternity including a "story time" mode that makes combat mega-easy aren't doing anything wrong, either. They're not doing anything wrong but I pity anybody who plays a video game for just the story. I can't think of a single one that has a good enough story to carry a game by itself. Video games are not a good storytelling medium and the story in a game should always exist to futher the gameplay, not the other way around.

A game with characters that you create and develop is an RPG. A game where you play a specific character, even if you can develop them to your tastes, is not an RPG.

The commander himself doesn't develop poo poo, so XCOM is not an RPG. Fallout: character creation (name, gender, starting attributes) + development choices as exp is gained = RPG Prey: Morgan Yu, regardless of gender selection, development choices as exp is gained = Not an RPG You can also argue that RPGs gate character progression by things done and not plot points reached. I learn the Explosive Vomit skill in Fallout because I earned enough experience doing WHATEVER to purchase it. I get the helmet scanner thingie in Prey because I arrived at that point in the plotline.
