MZ posted:Same, Nioh didn't click with me and this is coming from someone who has played & enjoyed all of the recent FROM games. I beat Nioh and the surge games after consistently bouncing off of every souls game I've tried to play. I feel like they're a lot more twitch based? Like I'm loading the verbs of the game into my impulses rather than my brain. Yknow I'm not like cognitively thinking "this is this attack, step back parry attack" just pressing the buttons on the controller. For ball boy, a strategy that worked for me on him (and all enemies because that's who I am) is to live inside him. It feels safer to try and keep your distance and dodge his swings but I found it a lot easier to just press against him and move with him. It's a lot shorter distance to go from in front to behind than it is to move along the outside radius of his attacks.

Aphex- posted:Is Remnant good as a single player game? I actually had a lot of fun with remnant single player. Maybe I've just had bad experiences with coop, but being able to take the game at your own pace, not worry about over or under levelling relative to people. That being said, I did end up running a very fun pet / summon build so it almost was like I was playing coop in that dealing with adds / aggro ended up being very fun and fluid with my damage spread out across my minions. Remnant is very fun, a lot more than I expected at first blush.

Ugly In The Morning posted:That's my experience with it as well. I don't sit down and play it for hours at a time but if I boot it up I always have a good time. The shooting is basic in a way I really like, it feels very... clean, I guess is the word I would use. Everything from where your shots will go, to your fire rate, to your damage falloff at range is super predictable and it makes things very fast and intuitive. Yeah that's the experience for me too. The core moment to moment gameplay experience is solid. Satisfying gun feel. Good sounds. Mechanically well put together. Diablo-esque loot games generally put me off. I feel like a lot of them suffer in the gameplay department trying to hook you on to their loot treadmills, but remnant is just so solid start to finish.

Relax Or DIE posted:remnant barely has loot or interesting character progression. It's not a bad game but I would not go to it looking for a loot fix. Which is to say that if you're not a fan of loot treadmills, it's good to go. For me the comparison is grinding maps for mob drops and to get to the random bosses through random maps. I think the real gamers in the audience can understand the diablo gamefeel comparison

Why is this free But this costs $4+tax?  Why isn't it the other way around? I mean you'd think all of the effort and work to create, animate, and implement that model was done in the first instance, right? So why does the crowd who purchase the second instance subsidize the content for the first? I think, personally, that it's fairly clear. There'd be riots in the streets! $5 for a new monster? Preposterous! $5 for a little model? Well... if people want it, who am I to judge? After posting, I felt like my point might be a little oblique for some people, and wanted to clean it up and clarify. Essentially, I think that people, generally, have a blind spot towards how the content they enjoy is paid for. My feeling is that people who do not feel any compulsion to purchase obviously overpriced content (and if you don't believe that $4.52CAD for a model of a monster is overpriced, well, I've got a bridge to sell you) believe either that nobody will buy it, except for those who can cleanly afford it (That's what I'd do!), or that people who do buy it, and can't afford it are simply making a bad choice, and that's fine too. My stance is that this is wrong, that people know that it's wrong instinctually, and that they'd be against it if it was presented in a form that was weaponized against them. Since, instead, it is targeted only against those more vulnerable than them, it is easy to ignore or rationalize away. Prokhor fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Infinite Karma posted:I've had DAEMON X MACHINA on my wishlist for a while now, seeing if it would go on sale, which it just did. Is it worth playing if I liked the Armored Core 4 games, and on that level of quality? I played through that game and it kept me engaged, but I wouldn't necessarily go in looking for like... Good mech gameplay. You're extremely mobile, dashin around shooting guns. It's serviceable, but never felt revolutionary. I kept going to see just what the hell the story was going to do next, since I didn't know at the time that Jesus christ did they cut a lot of it out. Seriously, things are going to whiz out of the dark at you, seem important and meaningful for a second and then disappear without a trace. This disjointed story is oddly compelling, but it's definitely a fraction of a fraction the story (and game) they wanted to tell. I forget if it's a novel or an art book but they have all the story put together from making the game so you can go and do some remedial reading if you want to make sense of it later. Overall? I mean I had fun? I played the game through to completion? Just be aware the story is never going to come together, at any point.

Sab669 posted:I barely dabbled with HZD the week and a half leading up to CP2077 coming out. This isn't really related but since I saw these titles in a post together I'm going to use it as a jumping off post to talk about relative bugginess in these games. This is with the caveat of course that this is only my experience, if your games ran worse or ran better that's completely valid but this is how it was for me. I played Horizon Zero Dawn on pc release (and previously on PS4) and I've also been playing (maybe 15 hours so far?) Cyberpunk 2077 on pc. I've seen a lot of what I would call false equivalence when people talk about Cyberpunk being 'buggy' and I wanted to use my own personal experience with a game that definitely had a rocky technical launch to compare. HZD crashed on me, in my entire campaign playthrough of the main game and dlc - maybe twice? Resulting in maybe 25 total lost minutes of progress. There was in my time playing it a major bug (snow deformation in the frozen wilds simply did not work at all, unless you were wearing the special post-game armor) which, since I hadn't played the dlc on PS4 and so didn't know really what I was missing I really didn't even notice? Cyberpunk, in comparison, is broken from top to bottom. While the game hasn't yet crashed to desktop it often locks in quests, with dialogue failing to trigger, action setpeices either not loading or not loading completely leading to no audio or no effects or no animations. Generally these will clear up with a reload, which to me I feel wastes just as much time as a crash and so I regard them to my play experience as equivalent. You will not have, at any point, a smooth and clean experience. At all times in some way it is breaking. Maybe a car that you've seen turn the corner and drive the entire length of the street towards you is still a blocky mess. Maybe Johnny has appeared to talk to you, you must assume, since he's been staring at you in silence for the last 5 minutes. Maybe he is talking, puffing on a cigarette that probably should be in his hand and not floating in the air a foot away but you can't be sure. I feel like it needs to be emphasized that this isn't a generally well made game that, like seemingly all new releases, has some problems. This whole thing is a broken mess on a scale that frankly boggles the mind. That's not to say the 'game' is bad! Or that I'm having a bad time (except for the times I'm waiting in the mandatory once per mission save reload to fix some new issue that's popped up) It is to say though that people trying to dismiss the issues with other comparable releases are either deluding themselves or have some supreme luck such as that I'd advise them to spend their time trying the lottery and not posting.

Sloppy posted:I picked up Synthetik since it's on sale, and wow, super fun in that Nuclear Throne kind of way. I purchased this and refunded it because it had essentially non-existent controller support. The killer for me is that it had 0 deadzone, and no ability to modify one. I've got an Xbox controller, which is to say it's got a tiny stick drift, which made synthetik unplayable. Do you know if there's a deadzone setting now?

The biggest issue with d:os, a game that I love, to me, is this poo poo The maps have very specifically gated level zones, but with zero signposting for where they are or the appropriate way to progress. Like if you just keep walking down the beach you'll go through your level 1 area, dip into the level 2, oops all level 6 and you're dead. You like need to have that image open on another monitor so you know where you're basically allowed to be going at any point.

I've started playing Ni No Kuni 2 and while I'm still early days in the plot the beginning like hour had me cracking up. You start as the elderly president of the off brand America called the union. You're driving across the golden gate bridge when, oops, a nuclear missile passes overhead and slams into the city. The city erupts into a mushroom cloud, the shockwave flinging your car rolling it end over end. You begin to crawl out of the wreckage of your limousine before you're mysteriously teleported away to another world. You get teleported in in a younger body into the catboy kingdom currently beset by a ferret and fuckin rat revolution. You're beset by sword wielding rat guards - what's a president to do? Obviously, you pull out your 9mm pistol and put that rat into the ground. I didn't play ni no kuni 1 but the plots aren't directly related afaik. The gameplay battle system is much more actiony for 2 so I'm having a lot of fun but the beginning was just so funny.

I enjoyed both Surge games. As someone for whom the dark souls games were just too slow there's a real frenetic energy to the surge games where you can feel like the tasmanian devil or some poo poo and just run people down overwhelming them with attacks while also engaging yknow with the parry and dodge and stuff like that. Also there is just some level of visceral satisfaction with ripping enemies apart to take their equipment. That's a nice arm you've got there... I think I'll take it!

Dragon's Dogma really nails the fantasy of all the classes. The fast, slippery dagger classes are FAST. The warrior with the huge gently caress off berserk sword? You're THROWING people around, one swing of your massive weapon plasters mobs. The sorcerer's magic is intense. There's absolutely nothing like the kind of magical murder you can whip out. Quests and story can be missed, but, the game has a perfectly functional and flavourful new game plus system so I recommend just tearing into the game the first time through and ploughing to the fun stuff.

I like that daemonhunters is using the overwatch fields that I first noticed in gears tactics. It's much more interesting having locked down fields of fire vs "don't move in any area in a 500ft sphere around me" also makes your positioning more important
