It was all downhill after Asylum. Turning the game full-on open world just made it kind of a clusterfuck.

Those people are probably the people who firmly believe the series should have stayed a Metroidvania game and not an open-world exploration game Which is dumb, Batmanning around Gotham owned in Arkham City

I thought the level and world design was much better in Asylum than City, and also got tired of there being snipers on every other roof by the end.

swamp waste posted:You're constantly in video game threads saying really obvious poo poo in a long-winded, spazzy yet condescending way. I think more than one person has noticed this. For whatever it's worth I'm grateful you're able to articulate this. Most people are condescending prats in their own right like Aloucious. "gently caress you for sharing your opinion" "What was wrong with the way I shared it?" "gently caress you." "Oh ok then, I'm sure my future posts will be better for you now." Even now he's only posted anything constructive because you did the mental lifting for him. Alouicious posted:the fact you kept this post under 5 paragraphs is admirable, but basically If you don't feel like reading a wall of text then skip the gently caress over it. It ain't a sophisticated skill. Oxxidation posted:The time has come, the walrus said, to get real fukken mad about some video games. Yeah that nerd. He had feelings. He cared about something he experienced. Why not grow a goatee, start dating Winona Ryder, and form a terrible coffee shop band while you're at it? Not caring is the only real sincerity anyway. Ryoshi posted:"This game where a man dressed as a bat punches a lady who is telepathically linked to trees lacks proper gravitas" is not a good point you fuckin' nerd, get lost before I give you a swirly I doubt anyone gives a gently caress if the game wins a BAFTA for writing, but having solid structure and pacing in a pulp story aren't snobby pretensions to expect from a game series that up to this point had above-average structure and pacing. Even then I wouldn't care if the game let me skip straight through every bit of terrible dialogue and story to get to the gameplay, but it doesn't so I'm forced to sit through it if I want to play. And even then my entire point was that the game design decisions are what finally got me frustrated enough to post about it, not the writing. If the game just let me into entertaining missions right off I wouldn't have posted word goddamn one, but instead I was suffering through horribly designed Batmobile tutorials and forced mission chunks in a boring and frustrating way. That's the real thing dragging the game down.

Back to the salt mines, son. How come the best looking armor in Witcher 3 is your terrible starting outfit? All the Witcher gear later looks like it was made in a group home. It makes it really hard to play dolly dress-up, which is the only good reason to play games if you think about it.

While it would mean that I would only ever wear one or two outfits in any game, I wish more games had the option to dissociate the appearance of what you wear from the stats.

One of my favorite parts of Guild Wars 2 is that you can do this. Though it's so rare of an ability for the first 50+ hours, that you're tempted to pay money for the privilege, in my experience.

New Vegas has the opposite issue, where the ranger armor used on the cover and in all the promos is high-level faction armor that's really rare and then when you finally encounter it most playthroughs will be unable to actually get any practical use out of it because it's flagged as an NCR disguise.

Let me write a dissertation on the moral quandaries I'm being coerced into Sometimes you just need to laugh with us instead of defending angrybatmannonfan I'm still loving the witcher 3 but I really wish I could jump in combat. I was in a boat and got attacked by a siren that was stuck on the boat. I couldn't hit it or get away so I just got to stand there getting screamed at until I died.

You can get it pretty easy by doing NCR quests which are heaped upon you by the dozen in the early game. The real challenge is trying to get a ranger sequoia without killing the ranger it belongs to.

Zombie Boat posted:Hey i think this design choice is weird I've only read the gameplay parts and omitted the spoilers, so if there's some moral quandary in the new Batman, a game in which you very clearly kill massive amount of people while saying you've just maimed them for life, so you're a good guy, then I personally wouldn't care. But some would, and I think people generally praised the previous two Rocksteady Batman games for writing, didn't they? And my enjoyment of The Witcher 3 is inversely proportional to the amount of combat I have to do, I've just finished the Kaer Morhen segment with the witchers' party and it was amazing.

Grandmother of Five posted:Please lay off the guy who posted the long stupid rant about a game that had been out for something like an hour because he managed to post the rant in the correct thread on only his second attempt. "I have severe issues with the way batman is presented which affects the overall experience on a major way, so much so that I need to post about it in PYF after 30 minutes of gameplay" is an attitude best saved for the games thread, where people who care about that game as much as he does can properly debate the ethics in game vigilantism. The little thing dragging down Arkham Knight for me is the Batman Beyond DLC suit. BB was one of my favorite shows as a kid/tween, and it looks much less like a sleek batsuit used for acrobatics and more like a Razer-sponsored batsuit powered by Nvidia  http://media1.gameinformer.com/file...ers/arkham2.jpg The suit in question.
