The control scheme in GTA 5 is loving dumb. Its been years since the GTA 3 came out and you still have to hold a button to jog and tap to sprint. Also that you have to do a bunch of boring as poo poo activities to improve your stats

It can be done, but you have to sit in the character creator tweaking the sliders for a very long time. And your character will still look kind of "off," just closer to normal.

In Oblivion it was nearly impossible not to be some kind of horrible fish man without installing the 3.5GB waifu face modpack, so it was best to just roll with it and accept your appallingly disfigured fate. In Skyrim it's actually a lot more difficult to be a fish mutant, to the point where you have to try to make it happen. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Yeah, GTAV contains a pretty legit golf game within it as a minigame. It pretty much plays exactly like a SNES golf game I had, can't remember the name of it though. And "increasing your stats" is optional as hell anyway. Jose posted:The control scheme in GTA 5 is loving dumb. Its been years since the GTA 3 came out and you still have to hold a button to jog and tap to sprint. Also that you have to do a bunch of boring as poo poo activities to improve your stats Also yay for trying to reload in first person but instead doing a sick barrel roll into the air. Seriously, you allow for the option of different FPS controls, but all it switches is putting sprint on the left stick (OK) and moving crouch to the A button (WTF?). It's the most infuriating thing, because it's not like there's not enough buttons: move Jump to A, reload to X, and crouch to B. There you go, it's Call of loving Duty now, and we all seem to have agreed that works just fine. Also the next-gen version making drive-by aim and drive-by shoot two different buttons is a pain in the rear end. I get the idea, I really do, but it means I need to switch up my fingers while driving, or just not use the gas pedal while shooting. And having A be vehicle crouch instead of handbrake is disorienting too, but I assume I'll get used to it. It feels like they made the handbrake sensitive as gently caress anyway, so I might just drive like a human being and use the normal brakes instead. Sorry if this is rambling, but GTAV on 360 is, as far as I care, the perfect GTA experience, and for next-gen they tweaked the controls just enough to be a little bit irritating. FPS mode is still sick as gently caress.

U.T. Raptor posted:Soul Calibur 3's Chronicles of the Sword mode was pretty much the best thing the franchise had ever produced No kidding. Just give me another game with that mode and I'll be happy. Even though it had some stupendous bullshit in it, the equivalent modes in 4 and 5 just aren't nearly as much fun. I've been told some editions of the Dynasty Warriors Empires franchise have required you to recruit and place officers in territories you control because they're the characters you use if those territories are attacked or you want to launch an attack from that territory. Later editions of the game basically just let you use the same character or characters everywhere for everything, which seems to me like a step back.

Being locked into one character per mission in Hyrule Warriors is definitely holding it back. It's not so much that I don't like to use Ghirahim or Darunia, but if I need to do dark damage I'm gonna use Cia or Midna and if I need to do fire damage I'm gonna use Volga because they're just plain better.

Maybe it's because I listen to his X-Files podcast but Kumail Nanjiani voicing a character in The Walking Dead Season 2 totally took me out of the game for a few minutes because he has such a distinctive voice and it didn't match his character at all. Which is a shame because independent of that he was pretty funny and had some great lines.

Better yet, go play Remake on the PS3/PC/360 with the new non tank control scheme and pretend RE4 through 6 don't exist cause that's when the franchise went to poo poo. Revelations is quite good though.

What'shisface Wesker and The president's daughter's campaign is fantastic in RE6 since you can play it as a brawler, but Leon's was really mediocre despite fun setpieces and Chris and Deadmeat's was dire.

Calaveron posted:What'shisface Wesker and The president's daughter's campaign is fantastic in RE6 My friend and I played through the entire game with the exception of Ada's campaign because, after a single chapter, I couldn't take it anymore. Leon's campaign was mediocre, as you said. Chris's campaign was pretty bad, mostly suffering from pacing issues of "poo poo never stops exploding and it's exhausting". Jake's campaign starts out ok but Chapter 2 was above and beyond so insanely bad I can't even comprehend it. It was probably worse than usual because we were playing co-op. It all does downhill (quite literally) at the snowmobile section. It's so easy to fail because of how poorly the snowmobile controls and how frequently you and your partner will crash into each other. If you somehow make it through that, you need to trundle your way through a stealth section that is so finicky we ended up just forcing our way through with guns and still almost failed at the last moment. I'm very surprised we ended up continuing playing after this because of how miserable it was. That being said, the chapter afterwards is really good. Both players start out separated with their own goals to assist each other. When you meet up, it's a very nice change of pace. What was constant running while everything around you explodes is now just two people exploring a mansion in relative silence. I enjoyed it a lot. Also the credits song for Jake's campaign is the literal best thing in the game but I don't think it'd have the same impact on someone else as it did for us if they didn't suffer through the rest of the game's poo poo beforehand. Just play Mercenaries mode.

...well gently caress, I might reinstall it then. Part of me not caring for it is the co-op part of that campaign is super half-assed-- your buddy is just a nameless faceless mercenary who doesn't speak ever and can't even interact with objects meaning Ada has to do everything. It just wasn't the same without us constantly giving each other thumbs up with context-appropriate dialogue.

This is kind of a general one but it came up when I was thinking of finally trying to beat Baroque. It's a really cool, vaguely creepy surreal action rogue like game. What drags it down is that progressing the story relies on a bunch of seemingly arbitrary crap that is super hard to figure out without looking up. It's a game with a strictly limited inventory space. To progress the plot a little bit the first time (IIRC) you need to find and keep a certain unremarkable item and get it back to the surface, where you give it to one of the crazy NPCs to make him....more crazy? I guess? And then he hides in the sand and you can kill him, I think. It's completely out of left field and maybe it would make more sense if I played farther but playing blind it's completely incomprehensible. I like it when a game's plot is cryptic and leaves me feeling a bit lost. When the actual progression does the same, that's a problem. Also the PS2 port is a pile of poo poo and the draw distance is so low that you can barely see the goal on the final floor until you're pretty much right up against it, which sucks because that triggers one of the two ways to end a run.

Her chapter was supposed to be solo and originally launched that way. People bitches and Capcom put out a free patch to make it co-op.

To be fair, part of the reason I thought it was the best campaign is because I played the whole game solo, and it's by far the one that works best solo. The AI companions usually work alright, but sometimes they just won't get to the loving door or whatever.

I honestly really liked the basic gameplay once I got into it, it's just that you can run through the tower multiple times without figuring out what the gently caress-hell you actually need to do next.

I hope none of these have been mentioned already, I read a good chunk of the thread... In Fantasy Life, the crafting systems require you to perform a series of 3 actions: holding the A button down (action #1), tapping the A button quickly (action #2), and tapping the A button when a little circle moves over the A on the screen (action #3). Not tailoring though! When you tailor, there are two "action #3" indicators, which is annoying as gently caress because it's the only one that requires you to wait before tapping, and there's a time limit whenever you craft an item. In Pokemon (in general), you still can't just swap Pokemon between your party and a box. Depositing and withdrawing are two separate PC functions, so you have to deposit one of your party Pokemon, back out of the depositing screen, go forward into the withdrawing screen, then withdraw the Pokemon you want. This game franchise is 19 years old, and as far as I can tell, this is the only way it has not improved. (edit: lol just kidding, disregard  )In Pokemon X, that Rhyhorn ride between towns is long and tedious, AND you can encounter Pokemon during it. It would be bad enough if it were just boring, but then there's the risk of having your horrifically slow ride interrupted by Pokemon encounters...repeatedly. Ugh.

Well in ORAS it's actually a conversation with an NPC that moves it from 3rd to 1st. I imagine most people just mash through it. You can talk to him again if you want to change it back to 3rd for some reason!
