I started playing The Witcher 3 today, and while I am enjoying it overall boy howdy do some things really bother me. - Controls are generally kind of poo poo, and I'm using the controls that were patched in that were supposed to fix the game feeling like poo poo. Mostly just have a lot of problems with how finnicky the game is regarding interacting with things. - Roach is a pain in the rear end to ride and he gets caught on everything, even when letting him steer himself for me. - I can't lock onto targets until combat starts and the target is two feet in front of my face ready to hurt me. Also you can't fuckin' block until combat starts so usually combat opens with me getting pelted in the face! - About two hours in I downloaded a mod to get rid of equipment degradation because gently caress that noise. - Not sure I really understand the whole perfect parry thing-- I press LT just before the enemy attacks and about 90% of the time I just get hit anyway, so instead I just block all the time and roll away. It's a good game. Gonna stick with it. Combat's a hell of a lot easier to understand than Witcher 2 which I could not get into at all.

Re: The Witcher 3 To parry, you have to fight a humanoid enemy roughly your size. Keep an eye on their health and when it flashes red pull LT to parry their attack. There's a rhythm to it you'll pick up eventually. Also learn when to quickstep and when to dodge roll for monster contracts and larger enemies overall. Roach can be a little finicky but I honestly thought they were very good horse controls before i played MGSV. It's got the best combat controls out of all the games in the series but the transition between exploration mode and combat mode can get bumpy. I've had to reload a certain fight over and over bc I was trying to get the no damage fisticuffs achievement and kept getting tagged by the guy I wasn't locked onto. I finished the game before they added the updated control scheme so I can't say anything from experience but I heard they were supposed to make it easier to steer in indoor environments. It's a good game, especially if you've done the other games with all the callbacks it has. My only beef with the story is that no one ever acknowledges Saskia the Dragonslayer even though most of the cast from Witcher 2 are in the game and talk to one another. I dunno if there's gonna be DLC to close that dangling thread from the second game but I just find it weird that no one has said, " Hey remember that one chick who had played a pivotal role in shifting the political dynamics of the Pontar Valley a while back? Where'd she end up?"

I haven't played the first Witcher. I tried getting into Witcher 2 about 3-4 times but I was so put off by the combat I never stuck with it. So far I've gotten along fine not knowing who anybody is in Witcher 3 aside from this conversation I just had with a dude who dances on the graves of his enemies or something. Not knowing who anyone is is all on me though I ain't gonna hold that against the game.

Dying light makes degredation okay mostly by giving you perks to mostly ignore it and dropping so many weapons that the mechanic might as well not exist. On Topic: they spent development resources on making Dying Lights degredation mechanic pointless instead of just commenting it out.

Not knowing who anyone is is all on me though I ain't gonna hold that against the game. The game is really good regardless if you've played any previous entries or not. If you play the first game there's a very small quest where you find a book that's a biography of a character from the first game and inside the book it's a message from that character warning you of the things to come. He was both the main villain of the first game and the one you spent the most time with without realizing it until the end (okay, anyone with a clue could have seen the twist the next state over but whatever). Witcher 2 is good, but it's gonna suffer for you because you're already playing 3 and even though 3's controls has hitches, they're a ton better than 2's. Parrying needs to be unlocked instead of already being part of Geralt's repertoire and the leveling wants you to favor one skill branch over the other two instead of being fairly modular like in 3. There's also this delay in inputs where you're trying to dodge away from an enemy and get right back into swinging at them but you spammed the dodge button and now Geralt is reenacting that Dark Souls 2 MMA gif even though you're mashing attack. If you do give 2 another chance, you'll get more out of the side quests in 3 because one of them is an ironic callback to the last game.

Named poo poo and everything that's bound to you doesn't have that chance and frankly I don't know why they even bother with the permanent thing and regular degradation since it's trivial to just exchange random poo poo that suffers from it and to keep your stuff repaired.

So you pay this rear end in a top hat a lot of money and if you're lucky, your item gets better. If you're unlucky it gets worse. If you're really unlucky it gets a lot worse. If god hates you it gets worse multiple times in a row effectively undoing all of your progress. There are cash shop items to reduce the chance of it going bad, but IIRC there's no way to really reach 100% prevention and they're fairly rare items to begin with unless you want to drop cash.

The single worst thing about dead island 2 is are the big guys who are completely invincible save a tiny spot on the back. They do a ton of damage and are pretty much impossible to solo and even playing multiplayer are ridiculously hard to kill unless you gently caress with their ai and get one guy to hide in a spot they can't reach and just shoot them in the face while someone else hits them in the back. Thanks to these really annoying not fun guys me and my friend just stopped playing when half the quests just devolved into "and now kill one or more of these big assholes."

Because dead island 2 isnt out yet, last I heard it had switched developers and was probably just going to be quietly forgotten about eventually. I liked Riptide, it got a bad write up, partially for being so similar to dead island 1, but I didnt play the first one and had a decent time with Riptide. Admittedly I didnt pay for it, it was an Xbox game with gold. I only vaguely remember the big guys you are talking about which suggests to me that there is an easy way to beat them solo because I completed the game, mainly solo with occastional team-ups with pubbies, and I am catagorically mediocre at first person shooters. I didnt mind the weapon degredation in Dead Island:Riptide because there were plenty of weapons lying around. That didnt make the degredation pointless (unless you were very diligent about repairs you couldnt just keep the same weapon for hours on end) but it did mean you were constantly switching weapons, using stuff you wouldnt have bothered with if your +3 fire sledgehammer was in mint condition. I hate weapon degradation in games where you dont have that option (or where that option boils down to "use your main weapon and never let it break because everything else is poo poo").

Those guys where super easy just have them run into a wall. The main issue with DI was how much stronger bladed weapons are compared to everything else, Xian in particular who is the blade expert got really OP as the game went on, she could 2 shot those big guys.

In a similar vein I don't like the indestructible melee weapons in Left 4 Dead 2. Unless you are playing in Expert, they completely trivialize the common zombies by letting you swing at them continuously without fatigue. They are so powerful that most players ignore getting the chainsaw superweapon since it can run out of fuel.

The thing dragging Witcher 3 down for me is that the copy I got on the cheap is for GoG, and the GoG client doesn't let me pause or throttle the download. I can't play the game because that would require me to cripple my internet connection for 3 days, and there's other people who need it.

I played 1 up until the point that another witcher who I've never met before but was causing a ruckus fought me and it was literally impossible to win. I upgraded my magic and silver swords and not my basic swords so when I had a boss fight with another human who didn't care if I cast spells and didn't get triple damage from silver weapons I got royally hosed. I never finished it. One of my friends was a traitor? Which?

You don't fight another Witcher until the sequel. And yeah that guy'll gently caress you up on your first few fights. The noob trap is to shield up bc all of his attacks will break your shield and he'll follow up with another attack immediately. Use Aard on him to stagger him and follow up with melee. You can keep this up until the end of the fight. Also I was talking about Alvin from the first game.

That's the fight I could never beat and gave up because it looked like I had got all the titty cards I was going to find.

CONTENT: I'm in the middle of Velen and the thing MAINLY dragging Witcher 3 down for me (and I'm sure this has been mentioned before back when everyone in this thread was playing the game) is having to run to those drat sign posts for fast travel. Also, gently caress that sign post at Crow's Perch. I have to travel to it and then barrel through villagers with my horse to get to my drat stash or the armorer guy. Also, 1000g to reskill.

Xoidanor posted:The thing dragging Dead Island down is that its a great idea for a game that is ruined by a irredemable grind-athon combat system. Totally this. I didn't have a problem with the weapon degradation since I never had to worry about money past the first couple of hours and I could just use something else if a weapon was about to break. I'm a hoarder in most games so I tend to pick up everything I see, though.

Yes that Crows Perch fast travel sign is bullshit. Also gently caress being overburdened. I want money, which you get from selling poo poo, but you can barely carry anything so you constantly have to go to shops to sell stuff, and the shopkeepers don't have a lot of money so you have to go to multiple shops. And how loving slow you walk when you're overburdened (yes I know you can get on the horse). Oh and some shops won't buy some items so you have to sell them at another shop. And I can never find the pawn shop because it's not labeled on the map for some stupid loving reason. At least Skyrim had houses with unlimited chest storage so I could hoard spoons and plates and food items just in case I needed them...
