Policenaut posted:Romancing SaGa on PS2 did that and everyone complained that the game was moving too fast for them and they had no idea where to go/what to do. I haven't played that game, but admittedly if it wasn't handled right it would be really bad. State of Decay sort of did that and people seemed to like it. That game was wonky as hell but not for those reasons. I think to make it work they would need to ditch more traditional story telling and focus on more emmergent gameplay and randomized stuff. I'd like to see more open worlds that aren't trying to stitch a movie into the middle of it.

NESguerilla posted:I was going to say a bunch of the same stuff Univbee and Brightman said, but in general I just wish they would stop making these worlds where everything was set in stone and is full of really copy paste missions. It was sort of a baby step, but Mordor's nemesis system was a step in the right direction. I'm just tired of the way the world just sort of sits around and waits for you to do stuff and trigger every event, as well as marking everything for you on the map and ruining any exploration it has. It would be cool to see a game where enemies are always going about their business and not just waiting for you all the time, and time management actually mattered etc. I also wish more open world games where like bethesda games where you have a big overwold but there are also tons of huge indoor/underground areas that you spend hours in. Souls games are also a good example of game design that isn't too heavy handed about pushing you in the direction you need to go. Red Faction Guerilla and Mercenaries were both really good at giving you meaningful stuff to do in the openworld, it's a shame sequels to them seem unlikely.

So Sony are pretty weird about region-locking PSN IDs. I've had a PS3 and my main login for years, registered to a New Zealand location. I've now moved to Australia and bought a PS4. If I use my existing ID, it won't let me change the location to Australia. This means I can't use my Australian credit card, as it tries to use the NZ store (even though these are in the same region...). Basically I have had to create a new ID registered to Australia to buy all my stuff. What I want to check is: Can I get a playstation plus sub on my Australian login and receive all the benefits on my main (NZ based) login? I know at least I can purchase games and share them around, but what about all the other benefits?

precision posted:Is everyone saying Wolfenstein is a good game a joke I missed or is it actually a Good Game? No joke. It is a legit good game. Pure single player (no multi at all) Good length, varied ways to play through upgrades. Story is pretty alright for a alternate history shoot man game. It's very fun and a breathe of fresh air compared to the COD 6 hour set piece campaigns that dominated the last 5 years. Feels like a throwback to old computer fps's in the best way. Highly recommend it if you ever liked a single player shooter.

Wolfenstein is the best linear single player fps campaign in years and probably the best paced game this year in terms of action and story.Vintersorg posted:Fooled me into buying it and couldn't muster the energy to turn it back on after you awake from the hospital and escape, meeting up with some freedom fighters. yeah i just woke up after 15 years of magic nazi world domination i've probably seen all the cool poo poo and fun. snore

Also, Wolfenstein is hit and miss for me. The game has some really fun moments like the final level and a few levels in between. But then it drags you down with some tedious fetch quest bullshit or that level where all you do is ride around a underwater ski in the sewer. They also managed to make a mission on the moon kind of loving boring.

Does it have any weapon like the auger in Resistance? That gun changed everything, and then the concept was abandoned.

I'm bummed Wolfenstein didn't have multiplayer. Return's multiplayer was so fantastic and I have fond memories playing it. I got the game for 15 bucks when amazon had that sale and I enjoyed but I don't think it was particularly great. That ending is utter garbage, though.

I just finished Counterspy for the first time, and I'm not sure what the hell I'm supposed to take away from the ending. I mean, I was expecting C.O.U.N.T.E.R. to be all ahahhaahahaaaa we totally tricked you into launching/not launching the rockets for our own nefarious means; everything anyone does is useless and you are a toothless cog spinning fruitlessly for our own benefit; the two superpowers must stand or there will be total domination over the earth, there is no good or evil, the US/Russia is every bit as good and bad as Russia/the US, spies never die, this story will be told and retold again. Instead my dude punches a button then I get a bunch of cartoons showing rockets flying, a red star and a blue star hovering over the outline of a planet, and then THE END. Ambiguity has all the teeth of being an agnostic so if I'm missing something here, lemme know. Otherwise: WORST loving ENDING TO AN OTHERWISE VERY GOOD GAME.

Samurai Sanders posted:Swording is pretty great but the shooting is the worst I have seen in a modern FPS. I found the swordplay to be a bit clumsy like every other game that tries it in first person, but I really liked having a health bar that you can manually charge up to about 60%, and top off with health pickups. The writing is pretty juvenile, but it's still quite fun. Like the Digital Foundry article said, it needed a beast of a PC to run well, but you can expect it to be between 30 and 60 fps at 1080p on the PS4. Shame it couldn't manage a locked 1080p60 like Wolfenstein, though.

That loving Sned posted:I found the swordplay to be a bit clumsy like every other game that tries it in first person, but I really liked having a health bar that you can manually charge up to about 60%, and top off with health pickups. Wolfenstein didn't precisely have that though. The way idTech 5 games like it work is that they stay at a hard-locked 60fps with 1080 horizontal lines of resolution, but the number of pixels in each line - which is usually 1920 - frequently drops in place of the framerate. The PS4 version's resolution doesn't drop as far as the Xbone's, at least.

Shadow warrior was great when I played it on PC master race for like 10 bucks 2 years ago or whatever. Not sure about console. But if you like old school style shooters with lots of secrets, lots of dudes to shoot, chop in half or blow up then it's a decent romp. Unfortunately it's got the half life 2 problem where they give you the best power up for a few mins before the end then take it away again.
