Lets you rack up the money really fast. I lost interest a bit after rescuing code talker, though... but at that point I had logged 30-40 hours and felt I got my  worth

The first game I clearly remember playing is the Commodore 64 version of Zaxxon. The first game I remember buying is probably either a shareware disk of Commander Keen: Keen Dreams, or the Flintstones DOS game that didn't run unless you clicked the turbo button down to 33mhz. Lots of copied shareware from my dad and his friends though.

Man, I was having a good time with Subnautica Below Zero, and it just crashed on me... and apparently it doesn't auto save... so I just lost about 5 hours of playtime. Just as I (pleased as punch) finished building my first moon pool, tooo.

I'm getting my money's worth, but I wish the PS4 version was more stable. The crashes are making me tolerate the pop-in less. I love the PDA voice, though. I wish they'd gone harder on the advertising slogans, though.

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:nah you have to lean into the story too and enjoy it for what it is. again some great voice work in this game from people who aren't kiefer. the key to enjoyment in mgs5 for me was training myself to not care about perfectionism on your first play through of a mission. Resetting over and over again just makes things a slog, and the payout difference between an A and a C grade is small enough to not care about. also, don’t expect subtlety. Kojima is bad at subtlety.

Sagebrush posted:if you quickly build the seaglide and a bunch of high-capacity air tanks it is possible to get all the way to the sea emperor, cure yourself, and disable the gun platform before the ship even arrives, in which case the crew says there's a debris field preventing them from landing and they just leave instead this makes me 2x happier with subnautica 1

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:its a very, very good game that i have zero intention of ever going back and playing it again because it took absolutely forever to get anywhere. it's the antihesis of "a game you can pick up for 30 minutes and then put down" because in 30 minutes the game has loaded and you may have rode your horse to where you wanted to go. if you accidentally trampled someone or some nerd got bit by a snake and needs help that's what you're doing. yeah, I thought it was a beautiful game that legitimately did not want me to play it because it required so much "buy-in/attention currency" to get going. If a game doesn't have breaks, my adhd hyper-focus kicks in and I'm losing 3-4 hours that I probably shouldn't let myself burn.

Corla Plankun posted:I really liked Witcher Wild Hunt when I played it and purposely saved the expansions for when I got a better computer, but I finally upgraded and I don't remember anything about this game at all. Video games need to start including a special cheat for people in their 30s where you can type it in and invoke the tutorial at any time and any place Blood and Wine is worth it, though. Same janky gameplay as the core game, but the story is MUCH more engaging IMO

picked up yakuza 0 for $4 on the PS store. So far I dig its style. The over-the-top melodrama amuses me as it whiplashes from silly to overly silly (I'm only on chapter 2) but I could see how it might turn some people off. The combat is pretty low-impact and simple, but so far I dig it. Love the money flying off everyone. The minigames are a little meh, but I can live with them as long as the story keeps firing the way it comes out the gate

finished the Story of Yakuza 0. Solid stuff, but it doesn't really inspire me to go play the other games. I feel like the sheer number of competing systems worked to make things feel lived in, but the achievement grinding on top of that made the minigames feel like work. Loved the ridiculous story whiplash, though.

Uncharted 4 is the most satisfying wrap up to Nathan Drake's "career" that anyone could have hoped for. Absolutely gorgeous, and the story manages to stick its Uber-Schmaltz ending.

AnimeIsTrash posted:I hate the large set piece battles towards the later portions of both games as the gunplay really sucks and you a lot of the times I end up in situations where I get cornered and then die to people shooting me from everywhere. Hard agree. IMO it's amazing how much goodwill that Uncharted burns on big gunplay sections. Just let me do mild puzzle platforming in cool locations and I'll be happy hanging out with Nathan's Wacky Pals.

The_Franz posted:i forget if it was 2 or 3 that had the part where you run from a collapsing tower, but you have to run towards the camera not being able to see where you are going, because a team of 50 people probably spent a month animating that sequence, and you do get to see it, over and over again, because deviating from the invisible path that you can't see and the game gives you no hints about, being even slightly too slow, or trying to move the camera so that you can see where you are going causes you to instantly die even though nothing hit you 2 and 3 run together a bit in my head. But I remember being frustrated by a section like that multiple times. 4 makes up for it by doing the same thing but somehow making it work (better telegraphing, shorter chunks, being WAY more balls-to-the-wall silly, IIRC)
