STONE COLD 64 posted:when i was in 5th grade i did something similar in the little doorway to my classroom, shimmying myself all the way up and keeping myself up there through the tension of pressing my legs and hands against the walls of the outer doorway. i held this until my teacher immediately spotted me from the little window above the door. I did this when I was 6 and broke my arm lol

Major Isoor posted:Ah, I've gotta actually play that - I think I've bought it, but forgot about it. Once I finish Deus Ex Mankind Divided, I reckon I might need to break out Invisible Inc. Especially since I'm trying to chip away at my backlog, rather than buying new games That's really weird, i played this mission maybe last week and did it similarly to you except at one point I flipped a breaker to see what it would do and it electrocuted one of the power armour cops to death. I was thanked for my discretion and mercy lol It won't change anything down the line I don't think, the game only has a couple of really impactful choices so far and they're all very clearly signposted.

Maybe it's a subtle reference to the early mission in Deus Ex 1 in the park which has basically the exact same bug lol

Finished Mankind Divided, man I knew it was coming but that abrupt ending was still really jarring lol. If I'd seen that "new game plus unlocked" without knowing in advance I probably would have thought it was a bug. Game was Fine but mostly just made me want to replay Dishonored or DE1. Sucks that they probably won't get to finish the story though, I did want to see how they eventually link up with the original and still end the story in a semi satisfactory way, since the way they were going any third prequel would have to end with Adam utterly and completely failing while everything goes perfectly for the bad guys, which could be kind of cool to see in an AAA game

EimiYoshikawa posted:That mission (in fact, not JUST that mission, most missions) are bugged insofar as if you reload a save you make during the actual mission area part, you get flagged for 'went bloodthirsty', even if you literally never touch anyone or get spotted or detected at all. I'm fairly certain I reloaded during it but can't be sure, guess it might not trigger all the time. Bizarre.

You can kill more people than you think and still get low chaos. I feel like high chaos fits the story/world better tbh and it has a much cooler final level, but while it's not intended to be a "good/evil meter" it's pretty clearly the bad ending as written. I'm gonna replay 2 I think, just played Prey Mooncrash and liked it a lot, and only played D2 once (as Corvo).

Fungah! posted:yeah thats my only problem with 1 i think, the high chaos ending is definitely just the bad end. is 2 any better about that? I played it low chaos so I'm not sure but it seems a bit more thought out, I think individual decisions make more of an impact on how the ending plays out too - it's all about how hosed up you leave Karnaca, so like, if you're overall low chaos but still just kill the major figures without doing anything to make things better, it's still going to be a shithole. Don't think the levels change as much though which is a shame

I wanted to like Death of the Outsider more than I did, but I wasn't a huge fan of the limited toolkit (or the tools themselves) and it had a couple of lovely levels - I really hated the final mission

Deathloop was on sale for 45% off so I picked it up and am a little disappointed so far. The powers are basically copied from Dishonored but weaker and you can only equip two at a time and as far as I can tell there's only one enemy in the game (two if you separate out person with gun, person with knife). Its not really the open world murder playground it presents itself as, it's more like a big Hitman level spread over four smallish zones, and literally everyone is hostile. Also there's only one correct way to win the Hitman level, it's not organic, you just follow 8 separate trails of clues until you find the literal one method of beating the game and killing all the baddies in one loop. So there's no real experimentation to it, it's the opposite of an immersive sim. The much praised dialogue and writing doesn't work for me 90%, it's very MCU. When you get your first decent gun the main character monologues to himself for a good three minutes about what to name the gun, suggesting names like Colt Jr and Mr Blammo, before deciding he's being too zany and reigning it in. He finds a hacking tool and gets excited but doesn't know what to call it or how it works so he names it the Hackamajig and that's its official name now. Dreadful. I did stumble across a plot twist earlier than i think I was "meant" to which is always fun but it's a bit gross (Julianna is Colt's daughter and played along with his flirting etc to freak him out). I feel like multiple games this year have had this kind of plot twist. Stepsister porn has cast a very dark shadow on the brains of the most cumbrained writers among us One of the worst things is that I don't think it ever really justifies the central loop conceit in gameplay terms. It just leads to loads of mandatory repetition. I uncovered a secret power bunker which lets me reroute power all over the island when I power it up. Cool! I've now had to do that sequence three times in a row because you can only power up one or two areas per loop. It's a long and boring sequence. You didn't have to do this. Majora's Mask figured this out like 20 years ago. I don't think I'll ever replay this game between the limited power set and the fact that by the time I finish it I'll probably have played all the main gameplay sections five times. I'm still having fun, it's an Arkane game after all, but I have no idea where all the rave reviews came from and it's very clear that it's a game that suffered from cuts and stuff during lockdown - every NPC on the island being hostile in particular is so weirdly un-Arkane and makes absolutely no sense for this setting in particular (most of the NPCs are just there for a big party). Even Prey had a few neutral people. I don't regret paying £27 for it but honestly I'd wait until it's on Game Pass or an even deeper discount.

I'm enjoying Deathloop more for what it is now but it's still the weakest Arkane game imo. It feels like it was intended to be much bigger in scope than it ended up, I wonder if COVID messed with development or something. There are loads of points where there's a lead or piece of info that's just completely worthless, like in Updam in the morning you can see two enemies digging a tunnel and if you leave them alive and come back letter, the tunnel is complete but it doesn't go anywhere useful that you can't just access by walking around the wall and past a single enemy. There's another point where you can go into an underground area and an enemy is behind bulletproof glass and floods the room with poison gas which you can turn off by solving a simple lever puzzle, and then... the guy calls you a dick and you just have to leave, you don't get to kill him and there's no reward or anything.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:It’s definitely a series to play a little bit of here and there as the mood strikes you rather than marathoning through because it can get pretty repetitive. I like that the last couple Sniper: Ghost Warrior games made a “Contracts” sub-series where each mission is like a Hitman-style small but open map with a bunch of objectives scattered around, it seems like they realized that and made it more bite-sized That's one thing I really liked about 4 as well, I've been meaning to try one of those games but I need to work up the mental fortitude to bring myself to buy a game called Sniper: Ghost Warrior.

As I understand 4 and 5 lean most into the "open world" aspect which is done really well imo, it's never pointless collectathon poo poo, every optional area or objective is directly linked to the main goal of the map. 4 has some stunning locales but also a few too many boring bases, bunkers etc

Plague Tale 1 was OK but it all felt very... directed? Like there was a perfect solution to every puzzle / encounter and you just had to follow the breadcrumbs rather than ever getting to make interesting decisions. That sounds really vague/minor but I ended up bored halfway through even though I was quite enjoying the world and characters.

trying to jack off posted:hopefully its been fixed as a gog release or whatever, but iw would basically reload the entire game for each map load. modern machines wouldnt close the window from the previous map so youd end up with 100s of windows that had to be closed when you went to quit This has not been fixed. It was such a piece of poo poo that they had to hard crash and reload the game every time otherwise it had an unsolvable memory leak, modders have tried and failed to fix it

What maps didn't you like, out of curiosity? I thought 3 overall had the fewest stinkers other than maybe the last one, which I kind of thonk of more like Hawke's Bay from 2 (except at the opposite end of the game) than a full level in itself

The Shadow Tactics / D3 devs have announced their new game and it looks potentially cool although I've already forgotten the name. https://youtu.be/BykuAlQlSIw High fantasy pirate stuff and it seems to offer a more free-form approach to missions with you being able to choose them in different orders and pick your starting point in many levels by choosing where to moor your boat. Honestly I was going to play whatever they came out with anyway but it definitely looks interesting
