yes, Control, when I'm aiming at an incoming lethal energy ball and I press the telekinesis button, I actually want to grab a random piece of the walls, floor, buildings in another town, absolutely anything else

I honestly have no idea why I'm still trying to play Control and it probably reflects poorly on my character

I keep thinking I've reached the point where it gets good and nope!! still dogshit!!!!

"SCPs but not stupid" should be an absolute slam dunk, how do you gently caress it up this badly

Pro Control Tips: if you die to a boss, the game will spawn more dudes in the middle of your boss run

also your mind control will just randomly not work so watch for that

the awfulness has me now

I need to see how bad this gets; I need to see if Control's going to do something like erase my loving save and expect me to go "WHOA SO META"

everyone else please save yourselves

it's like VA-11 HALL-A where I sat through it just because I was dumbstruck that anyone could hold up that kind of writing as professional work deserving of money

Hasn't heard it was bad, but thinking about it now haven't heard much praise either

strip away the meme garbage and insipid OC background dumps, and you're left with "Jill was sad once and that's okay"

it's the most pointless story I've ever read but at least its failure states were predictable, consistent, and quickly recovered, which is more than I can say for Control

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe or something when goons talk about Control because to me it's a perfectly average game in terms of the difficulty. I died maybe a few times on the toughest bosses and yet you get screeds from people who wiped for two hours in the same exact spot.

why do my bullets hit my cover when I'm aiming over or around it

how do I get the game to randomly give me decent mods

failing that, which of these 6% Shatter recoil mods will fix any of this

You can make your own mods in Central Executive with the random stuff you pick up. But failing that, -recoil on Shatter is actually pretty good.

I don't have enough randomly dropped materials for a roll on the gacha, and Shatter's recoil is already fine

More Control Tips: don't use Launch in close quarters, because it will randomly pick up explosive objects that are completely out of view

also don't bother throwing enemies' rockets back at them because they do less damage over a smaller area than rocks

turns out when you're down in the mold tunnels, mold men can spawn out of the wall literally right next to you and one-shot you

Control kind of punishes you for using cover. Always be moving, the enemies suck at leading their shots and the game expects you to be all over the place to succeed.

everything you can do in Control is a loving punishment

why did sixteen rocket men just spawn in this room

Control takes place in a sealed underground high-security facility and there are still invisible walls to keep you, the player, from going places you're not meant to go

it's not that entertaining unless you really get a rise out of the phrase "loving Christ, seriously?"

Hwurmp
May 20, 2005

if you're really super lucky, you can complete a combat encounter in Control and the enemies will respawn literally the second you turn your back

I guess this is how you're meant to grind for materials

just died because I was standing next to a reel-to-reel player that took one stray enemy bullet and exploded like a 1,000-pound bomb; the thing was in a dark corner and I didn't even see it before it went off, I had to go back and check what killed me

you win, Control, I can't take any more of this poo poo. congrats on being the worst game I've played in years

I only paid $20 for it with the EGS sale and that still feels like a waste of money

SeXReX posted:

See this is that alternate universe poo poo I keep seeing

I never saw a single enemy down in the tunnels who didn't spawn when the map loaded in the first place

I walked down a hallway, took one step back, suddenly mold man :shrug:

I'm looking for games that have that "keep you playing" quality (which I'm sure has a name--besides "compelling"--but I don't know what it is). Games like WoW or Grim Dawn have it with world design and the loot chase (and the social aspect).Total War/X-COM/Darkest Dungeon have it with the high-suspense turn-based gameplay. Deus Ex and Prey also have that quality, but those two games use story, sound, and immersive gameplay to generate it. It's a quality that goes across genres, so I'm not looking for any specific type of game. Just the ones that make you want to keep playing. Any suggestions?

the best thing about tib sun is that they still got decent known actors in except the guy who played kane who was just A Guy from the office was kane the whole time and it owned

the guy who played Kane was Joe Kucan, C&C's cutscene director

if it was Just A Guy From The Office then Kane would've been way doughier and more nasally

supposedly wrist rests are actually bad for your wrists, because all the pressure is concentrated on the wrist

that's why you get a boob mousepad, so it's concentrated in the boob instead
