Same with DmC, Ninja Theory was just following orders from the higher ups at Capcom but since they're filthy gaijin they get all the blame.

I don't think the Capcom higher ups told them to make the gameplay worse in every single way compared to it's predecessor.

On the other hand it's Capcom so they might actually have done that.

botw is literally the only game where I've gotten excited about exploring

All other open world games have felt worthless in that regard.

Whenever I've tried to watch the international the announcers say 5 minutes in who won because it's basically already been determined by somebody failing or gaining on some of the million boring poo poo statistics happening on screen constantly but then they still have to play the rest of the 45 minute match for no reason. Pass.

I'm pretty sure the announcers never said that

top tier characters:

top tier character if you use a :psyduck:-tier guide:
rikku

mostly-good tier characters:
yuna

only use as necessary:
everyone else

That's really bad advice for someone just going through the game normally. Like, Wakka isn't anything special until you get to the endgame and just abuse slots.

All characters are alright to use in the story. Lulu will fall of but is still usable.

The White Dragon posted:

wakka is always a good character even before you can abuse his slots because he has high attack but also extremely high accuracy

All of them are good in the until post-game stuff, aside from like Kimahri (who is still fine) since he doesn't have a niche that someone else doesn't already do

Yeah pretty much. You can tell it's popular because they took the "battle royale" framework and actually made something fun to play, but one of these days some AAA dev team is gonna announce how they're making PUBG only with way better aesthetics and netcode and PUBG will probably die a slow death.

they will inevitably gently caress it up instead and PUBG is going to be fine

CJacobs posted:

There's a hell of a lot of wandering around and not a lot of action, and when there is action it comes almost entirely down to who pulls the trigger first or has been waiting in the same spot the longest. That and the zombies are completely superfluous, it may as well not be a zombie game.

Well none of those things are true for pubg so you might like it

They are only true for pubg in that it might have 5-15 minutes with little/no action sometimes but it's being compared to DayZ where that time is 10 hours

I'd rather open world games take after combat systems like Horizon Zero Dawn over literally any and all Dark Souls knockoffs because I am so bored of that simplistic poo poo. Also maybe take that game's crafting system which boils down to "hold a button in the midst of a fight and you're done"

How about no lovely crafting at all?

haveblue posted:

What's lovely about it? It's a reload button that consumes trash items instead of ready-made clips. lovely crafting would be forcing you to pause into the inventory and mess around with menus, this is about the best crafting can possibly be while still being called that.

Do you enjoy collecting trash items just so you can press a button to able to shoot? Resource collecting to craft ammo in Horizon is just boring busywork.

Also needing shoot a billion rabbits/rats/whatever to possibly get a rare drop to increase your carrying capacity is really loving dumb.

haveblue posted:

Still not seeing the difference between collecting tree branches and collecting ammo clips. Those things are literally everywhere and you get arrow parts from every robot you kill too.

The more advanced crafting stuff can get annoying, yes, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the basic ammo systems.

In Horizon running out of some rareish material just mean that I had to spend 30 minutes doing some boring poo poo to collect more of it. Or just going to the town to buy some with the endless amount of money I had but that was pretty boring too.

It wasn't exactly a big deal but it was just really pointless. Like limited in a game generally exists to limit the availability of your most powerful stuff and it really doesn't do that in Horizon.

Half Life 2 was one of the first FPS games I played where the story was told to you without going to a cutscene at any point. There were a few times where you're strapped into something but the game never cuts away to a cutscene and that was pretty cool. It helped make you feel connected to the world in a way Halo didn't.

It's bad because I can't skip the cutscenes
