You used to be able to craft the Witcher gear at a much earlier level, but they increased the level requirements in a patch. With no regard to if you were already wearing the stuff. I ended up dropping the game 30 hours in because I was wearing nothing but crafted stuff when that patch hit and I was in the middle of a quest that unequipped your stuff for a story thing and I was unable to equip it again.

Packmasters in Vermintide would be way less awful if their AI made any sense. Half the time the Packmaster snipes a victim from a distance away, but the rest of the time he'll waltz into the middle of the group to grab a target. There is no real way to tell who he'll do that to. Since I play with at least 1 buddy the PM dies basically immediately anyway, but it was getting really old seeing the rat ignore the three people in front of me just to poke my character. At least they still don't snag people through literal walls, I've heard that was in an earlier patch and it made stairs death traps.

Inco posted:I never got past the prison mine level of Jedi Outcast because I couldn't keep the prisoners from getting killed from the AT-STs. I finally figured out how to keep the prisoners from getting killed from the Imperials on top of the walls, as well as not getting killed by the AT-ST that's shooting at me, and then the doors opened and another AT-ST came out and killed the rest of the prisoners immediately. At that point I just threw up my hands and quit because this is just way too much bullshit to deal with. I recently replayed Jedi Outcast and that is the reason why I didn't pick one of the harder difficulties. I have fallen into that trap before. Also posting ITT so I can easily find my recent post about the game.

In the first Jedi Knight I managed to accidentally hit quicksave just as Kyle fell off a cliff. *scream* *die* *autoreload to the beginning of scream*

Yeah Jedi Knight 2 has good parts but I think most folks would be well advised to skip right to Jedi Academy. JA has one of the worst fan fic-style Mary Sue stories in entire Star Wars EU, which is a very bold statement that I think is fair in this case, but the gameplay is good and there is lots of fun lightsabering of bad dudes.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I actually found the gameplay a bit of a step down from JK2 - saber combat ended up with an overreliance on massive sword-sponge enemies and special move spam, whereas JK2's felt a lot quicker and deadlier - which makes the much better level design etc frustrating.

In Hitman (2016), the subtitles in the tutorial say "discretely" instead of "discreetly." I guess it doesn't really bring it down. Unless it keeps on happening, that is.

I dunno, it's one of those small things you notice and keep eating at you sometimes. Like in Destiny there's one part where a boss gets introduced and it says something about enemies coming to kill you, but the subtitles say something completely different and it bothers me every time I see that boss, even if I have the audio off because I just know the dialogue doesn't match that subtitle at all.

Yeah, that's pretty annoying too. I always have subtitles on because my hearing's kinda busted, but I can tell if they're different from the actual voice-acted lines.

There's no option to revert the destiny dialog back to the peter dinklage voiced lines. I heard a little of it when my friend streamed his game when it was new. It was truly wretched. I feel ripped off that I can't hear them too.

Sonic Heroes had several instances of constantly recurring character chatter having incorrect subtitles, but since it was during gameplay you never quite noticed... until you see it once, then you see it every time. I remember the biggest case was the line 'Are those Eggman's robots?' being displayed as 'Are those Eggman's assassins?' The most recent instance I can think of is that a cutscene in Dark Souls 3 had gendered lines programmed in but not voiced. So the subtitle calls female players 'wench', but the speech calls them a 'git'.

I really don't agree. Jedi Academy is a lot more boring generally. Jedi outcasts laser fights actually feel deadly and impactful. I JA you just meet some rear end in a top hat jedi in the very first map. That sucks. Jedi Outcast, for all it's faults, has a great sense of ebb and flow in the level design, and you get extremely powerful later on, which wouldnt be as awesome if you didnt have to work for it.

Cleretic posted:Because Gilgamesh is traditionally the super-hard bonus boss, much of the game centers around him skirting the sidelines of various major world-spanning conflicts, picking fights with whoever crosses his path when he does so. Because clearly, the people who are deliberately not going straight for their biggest enemies are the strongest, bravest and greatest of all. Include weapon durability, except Gilgamesh just gets bored with using the same sword, and you have to keep adding more and more jewels and sequins and poo poo to restore his interest.

They were doing an expansion and weren't bringing Dinklage back. So while they had a new voice, they also had him go back and replace everything. Luckily there's not a whole lot of content in Destiny anyway so it wasn't too extensive.

Half the content is standing next to a door while the Dinklebot floats around and babbles about sending noble houses of moon wizard machine gods screaming back to hell so there was quite a bit to replace, given the size of the game.

I've had Metal Gear Solid 5 for about 2 weeks now, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. One of my friends was talking about the FOB stuff, and I said I had no interest in it and I wasn't going to bother building one because the invasions sound like an opt-in punishment. Well, apparently at one point the game forces you to create one whether you want to or not, and the only recourse after that is to play offline. Problem is, half of my resources can only be accessed if I'm online right now as it is, and I haven't even built the FOB yet. My options are to lose half my resources or get strong-armed into this bullshit I don't want to take part in. gently caress this game.

Option 3: Play on PC, use Cheat Engine to bypass all of the mobile game meter-filling p2w bullshit without having to deal with online play or wait days of real-life time. For optimal results hold both middle fingers erect in Konami's general direction while doing so.

Invaders can only invade your like, secondary bases, which naturally just have your shittiest dudes and small amounts of resources. You can get more fobs and put more dudes and stuff on them, but you have to go out of your way to do that. Honestly, they're mostly a source of shitloads of GMP when people try to invade your fobs and fail.

I once played until I fell asleep in front of my TV and woke up to a message that I had been invaded and lost some stuff, and that was the only one I "saw." Which is really weird since I invaded people reasonably often which I think was supposed to increase your risk of being invaded? It seems like something that could be pretty safely ignored if my experience is any indication.

If you put the barest amount of effort into having any defenses at all, everyone basically goes and hits one of the million bases that has no defense whatsoever.

They've patched the game a bunch of times to slow down the rate at which you acquire resources and add more bullshit hoops to jump through, MGSV is the rare case where playing a game at launch actually gives you a superior experience than late adopters who get to play the heavily patched version.
