Playing MGSV makes me wish the Mako acted more like the Pequod does: customizable, autonomous, and able to call it in for backup in fights as well as for transportation.

I just Traded in Natural Doctrine for Dragon Quest 9 because it did LITERALLY everything wrong. It was the most amateurish kind of game on the PS4. It starts off with a generic but pretty main menu that shows some of the world, which is desolate but kinda colourful. The problems start the instant you click "new game" - No intro cutscene whatsoever. No context, No plot, and it's a game published by Nippon Ichi as well so you expect something. Your just in a tiny boring dungeon fighting goblins because (?). Are they pests? Have they been attacking small villages? I don't know, just that one character literally describes them as akin to cockroaches, and I don't know how to take that here. Are they just more intelligent pests than get into peoples rosebushes, or is this character supposed to have racism against monsters as a character flaw? It's really unclear. The annoying thing is this has been used as a hook much better by 99 Nights on the Xbox 360 as you get context there - she hates goblins irrationally because her family were killed by them, you are fighting them now because a war has broken out, and her racism against goblins is a major character flaw - In an optional cutscene that you only get going in a certain direction towards a dead end, She ends the first level coming across and massacring a camp of goblins women and children to her allies, and the player's, horror. I wanted to continue, it got me invested. Is this a character flaw to be addressed or will she double down and go full villain? The only reason I got stuck was the terrible difficulty scaling - because I played too well as her, the next character's story was so hard as to be almost impossible for me. Also, the Presentation in Natural Doctrine is ugly - the UI is cluttered, and the damage number come up in a chatlog, which wouldn't be a problem as it only appears while your characters are attacking something, but when you get into the second fight you notice something - it never clears. It just fills the screen with old numbers from 3 fights ago and the animations are so boring to watch. I'm just glad I got Shadow Warrior alongside it or that would have been a totally wasted purchase.

Because it's an automatic game over if you get spotted. Though on the plus side that mission finally shut up all the people who complained about how Assassin's Creed 1 didn't have enough actual stealth sections.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is probably the second best rear end Creed game behind Brotherhood, but it has a giant glaring issue: Every single moment that isn't spent on a boat is complete agonizing boredom because literally all of the missions are "TAIL THIS GUY FOR TEN MINUTES"

But 9 is basically just a final fantasy game wearing the flayed skin of Dragon Quest  at least it still has puns.

I also enjoyed Blue Dragon, so I'm familiar with Toriyama's somewhat immature enemy designs (Half the enemies in Blue Dragon were literally piles of poo poo with varying themes  ) I guess when you get to that point in Akira Toriyama's career of "I launched a ridiculously successful anime series, became a household name with my distinct art style and invented multiple childhoods through Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger" if you want to design enemies while giving in to your inner six-year-old, noone says boo. He was just like "gently caress it! I'll make poop jokes - ALL THE POOP JOKES I CAN POSSIBLY MAKE!"

I think my favourite Poop Joke in Blue Dragon is the penultimate boss fight. You fight a giant Cyborg T-Rex, that starts the fight taking a massive poo poo. Then you fight him and his giant poo poo. It's actually a deceptively tricky boss too.

A one shot, one kill shotgun that you can cross map with, the "weakness" of it is that its one of the few weapons in Black Ops 3 that isn't hitscan, but the orb moves at a decent pace and the hitbox for it is larger than the orb itself implies, at a short to medium distance its almost impossible to react to and at a long distance you have a fairly small window to dodge it. I am so loving sick of this loot crate nonsense in these loving shooter games, I see why they're there, dumb gently caress kids spending their parents monies in a bid to get this garbage but it fucks the whole game balance up, it was bad enough that the loot crate weapons in AW had different stats despite technically being the same gun but this poo poo is just annoying, think I'm just done with shooters that have these kind of things in place, they start out so well, empty promises of "its just cosmetics" then they gently caress it all up and the balance goes to poo poo, don't wanna spend real money? Well tough poo poo, enjoy losing.

Overwatch has a huge list of problems but it's at least a shooter where there's no unlocks/loadout bullshit that affects the gameplay. It's really bizarre how rare those have become.

Having troubles with that one to, if I play solo it at least matchmakes me with people near my level, if I pair up with friends its always versus organized squads which are really high level to, we constantly get stomped and nobody has any fun. Oh and Hanzo and his broken rear end head hitboxes, that guy really need to be fixed.

Hannibal Smith posted:Yeah, I've played through that game 3 or 4 times, and have never once been able to beat the capture the flag contest legitimately. The only way I've ever been able to outrun the other guy is by just jumping off the roof, absorbing the fall damage, snorting some medicine, and grabbing the flag. Tackling someone while running is almost impossible in those games. More than once I accidentally killed the guy I was supposed to tackle.

At least in my experience, I had a lot of trouble figuring it out because the way the games explain how to tackle is kind of vague. Once I understood that all you need to do is hit the button a single time in order to leap at the guy, I suddenly had way more success at grabbing dudes, even if it wasn't totally foolproof. Also some of those messengers just get plain suicidal. John Murdoch has a new favorite as of 10:44 on Jul 3, 2016 |

Darksiders 2 is such a painfully tedious shitshow. I got some unique armor in the final dungeon of the game, then died to lovely dps spamming enemies. Reloaded the game, lost the condition to spawn the armor again. The boss fight against Samael is ridiculous, too. The second phase has the boss spawning pillars of flame beneath you that you can dodge IF you twitch out of the way of the first attack, but gently caress you if you don't hope you enjoy being stunlocked to death. gently caress this game for making me sound like I've got tourettes' syndrome. Ugh.

loving unskippable credits sequences. Why is this even a thing. I've recently beat both Just Cause 3 and MGS: Revengeance, and both being pretty big budget productions have a loving looong list of people over something like 10+ different companies working for it. Both are also the type of game when you might want to immediately play more or do a New Game+. So why should I sit through all this bullshit, I had to leave it running for a few solid minutes. Pressed every button on the keyboard, gamepad, held arrows to maybe speed it up. Nope. Can't really Alt-F4 out of it, because who knows if my progress was saved already, maybe I'll be allowed to continue, or maybe I'll be booted back to the boss fight. Alt-Tab? Credits paused fuckface. Why, loving why. What is the purpose of this poo poo, is there a single person on this planet that cares about reading names of hundreds of random people who made gaem. Please tell me I won't have to do it again if I complete MGS:R on higher difficulty I don't care. It's cool that you made the game, but I just don't give a gently caress. Just put that poo poo in the main menu somewhere, so that normal people can never click on it.

Something that gets to me is when a game that has expanded universe bullshit (books, comics, straight-to-DVD movies and whatever) eventually they seem to come to the conclusion that you know all that poo poo before playing. Both Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 introduced villains from extended media and expected me to care about them and now I'm playing Halo 5 and it seems to presume I've read some of the dozens of EU bullshit that's come out since the last game. I remember people telling me that Master Chief was the last Spartan II, now he's suddenly leading a whole team of them? The Prometheans seemed contained to the planet from Halo 4, why do they seem to be all over the Galaxy now and why are they fighting the Covenant?

NotAnArtist posted:I'm playing Darksiders 2 and the Kingdom of the Dead is just such a bland, boring area that's essentially a grey wasteland. I know it's a barren lifeless land, but every dungeon is just so generically ''ruined castle'' that it feels phoned in in comparison to the lush area you previously explore. The fact that the camera is garbage and the mini map lacks a North orientation makes exploration super frustrating at times. Probably the most comically front-loaded game I've ever played. The game's hubs progress from a massive open world to literal hallways that make you question why you even have a horse. They really didn't expect reviewers to play past the first hub before they reviewed it.
