Haven't had a chance to sink my teeth in much yet but I really am not a fan of the combat. I'm just starting the first Dex mission and had my first slicing done. Wandering around the streets and I seen these 3 I guess high level guys with a bystander on their knees. Took a ridiculous amount of tries to pull off killing the 3 of them, figured after a few tries I'd use a flashbang and it would be easy, but naturally is takes 8 or 10 headshots to kill anyone. And then of course the rest of their gang magically knew what I'd done so they were after me at every turn. Ugh.

If you scan enemies first you'll get a sense of how tough they are relative to you from their star rating Yeah I'm still understanding everything and I did scan them, just from a logical standpoint I hate things being gatekept behind things like that where them being higher level means they can just take 40 bullets to the head. I do have it on second hardest I think but a well executed ambush should still let me dispatch them without too much trouble, levels aside.

Okay, things starting to get interesting. Its too bad the game is still so buggy though, and the amount of items on the ground I just cant pickup is pretty annoying It was like all of a sudden I went from being afraid to take on multiple people to going Commando and being fearless. The whole Heist thing was pretty interesting and intense, and while I found Jack kinda boring as a character it hit home losing him like that. I was kinda thinking of double crossing Dex as I felt insulted by his 35% offer, I guess there would be no way to have that opportunity though? What if I'd said I didn't have the chip? I guess in the end it would have been some variation of the same result. Had no idea where Keanu was going to factor in, this is not what I expected at all. Hope this mechanic isn't something thats going to become too annoying though. Cash seems to be slow coming in, maybe it'll come faster now at this stage. And whats the point of giving myself a big dick in the creation process if I take a shower with underwear on? Also, I turned off the SSR per the graph above and while I'm running a 2080 so for most people it would be totally fine what I get with everything maxed @1440, the little stutters were bothering me and I felt like I instantly saw a climb in smoothness once I disabled it.

Yeah since I made that post the money is pouring in but I took a big hit repaying my debt to the doc. Cant drive past an active shootout without getting involved, with oftentimes tragic results. How do I know when I scan guys how tough they are? Is it just the red skull? I've no interest in spending money on vehicles, they dont feel particularly satisfying to drive, they all look ridiculous and theres fast travel. I just wanna become a literal mechwarrior or something asap

I ran into one police encounter with the Val's and I always help the cops for some reason, easy free loot. They basically one or two shot me but the AI is so broken some would just stand still while I shot them 100 times. Then I finally tried the sniper I found that I'd been neglecting cause of low dps but didn't realize that's just cause it's so slow. Did like 5x the damage with that and managed to cheese the last few guys, ended up with all the cops dead too so it was a nice haul. I like when you're stealthing an area and gently caress up and have to restart, then your auto save has enemies already shooting at you when before you took them all out undetected. Then this one time I was out in the garbage desert and was checking out this compound and got killed. Reloaded and an enemy car just rolled out of the place with no one in it so at least I had a fast way out. So broken man

Oops, didn't check on Barry soon enough Managed to beat the twin fuckers but I wanted to kill them anyway after but the game wont let me. Also completed another mission where I'm sposed to get a free reward from a ripperdoc but just seems like there is no way to actually do that when I talk to him or browse what he has. Then I ran back home to see if I could use any of the high level guns I had I was previously locked out of. Every gun in my stash shows 0dps. Exit game.

I think the game suffered from overambition. Would take a very special situation, team and director to make it all work. Not uncommon for big open world games. Not so much the exception as it is the rule As far as the voicework, its just the emphasis on certain words and the delivery sometimes feels so unnatural to me and takes me out of it. On top of that then you are constantly being introduced to these people with implied past connections to the point where I had to look it up thinking this was a sequel, and not in a good way. One of the worst things of all though, how many years has it been since GTAIV? Studios still think its a good idea to put phones in games? I dont want to have to answer it irl, certainly not having imaginary people bugging me in the loving game too. At least the people calling aren't as annoying as loving lester or whatever his name was from GTAV. At the same time though, joyride throughout the city and every time you cross a border you got some other dingbat calling you immediately somehow sensing your presence in their territory. Whats the point of giving you this big sandbox if they are gonna bug the life out of you so much?

I was doing the harambe side mission or whatever the dudes name was that I had to escort to some meeting. Stealth killed everyone in the area first, well, almost everyone. I left one outside the plaza so I ran him over on my way out. Got out to loot, the mission guy also got out and just started walking away and there was no way to get him to acknowledge me or get back in the car. Figured if I drove to the location he'd just teleport there. Nope, failed mission. Then there was this  They give you the fuckin open balcony right outside the door, but I hop down while carrying her and she just reverts to this position when I hit the ground. In this case at least I was able to go back and pick her up again as she was. This game is sort of a dangerous microcosm of real life for me in that I'll be omw to do something important then get side tracked and have to stop and wipe out every gang conflict I come across (playing video games instead of doing important stuff) I played several hours yesterday and did no main missions at all until the last few minutes.

Finally get a chance to sit down again and put in a few hours, gonna try and do some main missions and not get distracted. I think I did like one. Okay it was two. They were long, though. It sucks being old with responsibilities and no time to play in chunks often enough to absorb what bit of story they give you. Also doesn't help when the whole scifi aesthetic is lost on me. Then it feels like Keanu's disinterest is being projected onto me every time Johnny speaks. Graphics seldom wow me anymore but sometimes I'm taken aback by some of the facial stuff, like when you're Johnny and you have that whole thing where you gently caress Alt. I strongly recommend pausing and opening your inventory screen during that mission also.

I felt like most areas outside the starting area were too hard but I eventually progressed to pacifica and just casually deleted everyone, notably a couple dozen voodoos who I was set to meet with once their drat church opened. Was cool doing the mall mission and I was trying to be silent but ended up causing a ruckus right in the main hall and after killing I dunno how many, precipice or whatever his name was calls me and says "okay, finish him off but keep it quiet" meanwhile its complete bedlam in there

Robobot posted:I let my friend Brad borrow my copy of Alpha Protocol and he moved to Denver! He is on my forever poo poo list! I went to this garage sale in 2006, we only stopped to ask directions, but there was literally a pile of NES' on the lawn along with untold accessories and games, etc. I asked how much for one of the consoles. Take the lot for $20 the lady responded. Her son had moved out and I assume eventually came home to find what she'd done and I hate to think of that ending. I got like a 50lb potato sack full of 4 NES', an original gameboy, this NES dance pad thing, all the accessories for all of it including NES controllers I'd never seen before, one disc from..Shadow..something? Some PC game? Road Rash for Genesis, the list went on and on. The end of this pointless story is that I ended up temporarily trading the Gameboy to a buddy of mine for Megaman 3, and never swapped back. I think he came out better on that one.

When it finally hits 50% off I'll give it a go on PC, it's nuts they've only gone down to 20% off on steam after the mess it is and being 6 months out. I wish I could say "theres too many other quality AAA games out there you should play instead" but gaming has become another predictable medium no different than pop music where execs sit around a table and decide what sells and thus that must be manufactured, nothing else. I would compare the game to mediocre buffet. You get your fill but there isn't much quality. Of course, the more you dwell on that dilemma, the more you find yourself coming back to the same result that no matter which game you play, its all a waste of time unless you're earning from it.

Robobot posted:Six months after Read Dead Redemption 2 was released people had just discovered that double tapping the holster button let you spin the gun back in. But there was A LOT of stuff in that game. I remember finding out that they put the world's reflection in the animal's eyes and I just about gave up trying to think of how much smaller details in gaming can get. They could try making them good, especially in the case of Rockstar which have been on a nearly Bethesda level decline (dont care how many trillion copies either have sold) and have supposedly open world games whose action sequences all feel as on rails as House of the Living Dead

The lack of polish and things being tied together and fully thought out is definitely frustrating. But I feel maybe I'm too hard on the game. I've suddenly become awesomely powerful after finding a new type of sniper rifle and for a while there last night I was just going from crime scene to crime scene blowing up heads. Thats a feature sorely missed in too many shooters. I want realistic gore in all games. Also gently caress me for only just realizing I can shoot through things when I see silhouettes of enemies. When I found out that in the middle of 6th street territory, I felt like Albert Schweitzer. Ping something-> see where everyone is-> bang bang bang nothing but corpses. Suddenly seem to be flush with levels which I'm pouring into tech so I can get the perk to retrieve mods when disassembling. I went around yesterday and now have mostly all legendary armor but gently caress all to put in any of the sockets. Its like Diablo 2 all over again, just forget about finding that Jah rune. Except I cant even find an Amn or a Sol either. +5 to carrying capacity? Wtf is that? I haven't been back to my apartment in I dunno how long. Do they ever mention you can get at your stash from your bikes satchel or did everyone else find out by mistake too? I thought it was a glitch at first. People keep saying how short the game is but I'm like 30 hours in and I feel like I still must be some ways from the end, about to hijack this parade thing with Tatsemura or whatever his name is. But as I said, I'm addicted to violence and cant stop intervening in gang wars and active shootouts.

I feel like I've done nothing in the story. In retrospect, Jackie->heist->rescue EV/she dies->hellman->now feels like a couple of hours of actual playtime. I know its more, but still. The rest is all inconsequential money grinds or being trigger happy.

Went to do the preparation for the parade float thing. Trying to actually be all metal gear solid for a change (even though I rambo'd 4 an 5 of that too), try to remove a marker off a guy I'd taken out, toss a grenade instead. Then I had to go through the most unenjoyable process of blowing the head off of every last person in that whole complex. Even with almost 600lbs carrying capacity, I had to use a protein powder to get out of there. Then Panam calls me for a mission, we're doing some recon before hand and after its over...it just repeats the sequence except its all black except for the red silhouettes of all the enemies and stuff and theres just no way out so I have to altf4

Thats so awesome. But every open world game needs to have an anarchist mode where no actions are ever blocked. So once you beat him and he's saying "this ain't over" you can take out some 20" long cyber revolver and just shoot him right in the face. Or better yet, during the fight, and you can similarly deal with anyone who has any issue with that.

Man the parade mission was trivial. Really built it up like it was gonna be an ordeal but was truly one of the easier missions. Also I stealth'd the Saul rescue at the wraith camp, paining me every moment that I wasn't just gunning everyone down, but I do plan to return now that its done and kill everyone, if they're still there.

So how about that Devil ending. Why the gently caress they send me to space? The whole thing was creepy and maddening which I guess is what they went for. Slight feeling of redemption for the game as a whole after going through it. Also was funny finally deciding to do the cyberpsycho missions after bouncing off one or two early on. Got through one and it wanted me to read a shard. Mind you now, I'm an obsessive hoarder/loot monkey so I had dozens. Hadn't read a single one up til then, and that was just before the point of no return. Cant see myself going back and doing another playthrough, just cant start over again without double jump.
