I am glad that somebody besides me remembers Toy Commander. That game was so much fun. It reminds me of Blast Corps even tho it really doesn't have too too much in common short of "perform a task, under a time limit, as these vehicles." Also the ending is loving weird as hell for that game lol

If you sell a weapon you get back part of the value of the power nodes you put in it in addition to its normal sell price.

Playing Resi 5 recently and one of the changes from 4 that annoyed me was barely getting any money for weapons if you've upgraded them. They were worth a ton in 4 but you barely get back more than the base cost in 5.

I think that's to discourage you from selling weapons until you replay a stage and get a second copy of a weapon you already own. You have the storage that obviates the need to only retain what you use, and that way you wind up with enough weapons for both players.

Cavelcade posted:I dunno, that seems like you're just giving up the only thing that makes Star Wars unique while constraining yourself to have to deal with all the stuff people will expect from that setting. A Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead kind of take on the concept, that explores characters on the periphery of the Jedi poo poo, could work. There's plenty of interesting things you could explore without lightsabers and telekinesis, hell aside from the climactic scenes even most of the OT movies are more blasters and spaceships than they are Jedi stuff.

Talking about Star Wars games makes me realize that it's been over a year since the last new Star Wars game that wasn't a mobile app, and it's not like Battlefront 2015 was a stellar release. EA's really dropped the ball with that exclusive license.

I remember the Force Gun being good in Dead Space but I may have just been using it to make enemies back the hell off rather than kill them- in a game where the central gameplay conceit is cutting off limbs a big ol' space shotgun probably isn't gonna be the best. Or I may be confusing it with the force gun in Dead Space 2, where things took on a decidedly more powertrippy bent vs the gnawing fear of the first game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzlVhOrt8CU I like the first one more, but not by much. They're both pretty great.

It's honestly more Alien Resurrection in that it has a bunch of things that aren't bad ideas on their own but combined with the franchise just ruin everything. It is annoying to see a series with 3 great games killed by 1.

glam rock hamhock posted:Because 3D tvs never took off and in general it was hard to play it like that for very long. Even the 3DS, which came with no glasses 3D, kind of backed away from it because it just wasn't pleasant to play for too long This is from a while back but: The only 3DS game I could play with 3D on for any length of time was Bravely Default. I don't know what it was, but it was the only one that didn't almost immediately give me this weird feeling in my head and the back of my throat. Not a headache, per se, just weird. But Bravely Default was fine. Maybe because the 3D made the cities look like a cool pop-up book or something?

Man, thanks for reminding me how good Dead Space 1 & 2 were. It got less scary as you went on because of how powerful the weapons became, but man did it ever have good weapons. I know a lot of people swear by the plasma cutter but I was always a fan of the big boys: Line Gun and Contact Beam  What's more, I played them on my lovely laptop and they ran amazingly well. I think the second game was somehow more optimized than the first!

I never did play Dead Space 2. I guess I should get around to that, I did like the first one on PC a lot. My favorite death was when that one little spider thing rips your head off then digs its tentacle leg things into your neck hole and starts drunkenly stumbling off, scooping its head back in when it starts to slip out.precision posted:It was Mafia 3 that really put me in mind of that. The first 10 hours or so of Mafia 3 are absolutely amazing. After that it never gets bad but it does become somewhat of a generic open world with repetitive quests. I could see how someone with less patience would want to skip the empire building and go straight to the endgame. Remember how much people bitched about Vitachambers in Bioshock because it made things "too easy", even though if you didn't want to use them you could just reload a save when you died (and even had an in-game option to automatically do so shortly after the game came out) People will never blame themselves for a game being unenjoyable, even if they're the ones making it unenjoyable for themselves. Like how Titan Quest's chances at success got ruined by people complaining about a bug that was only in pirated versions of the game.

I always liked how Dead Space made your health meter part of the main character's suit. It never seemed like a particularly useful place for it to be for Isaac, but as the player, it's pretty neat. I care way too much about nice-looking health meters in video games, I think. I don't know why. More than any other part of the UI, I want to see a nice, readable, aesthetically-pleasing health meter. I fully acknowledge that this is probably a weird fixation.

Dead Space 2 is a very good game, it expands on the original in all the right ways. Comparing it to Aliens is very accurate and the devs themselves said as much at the time. Harrow posted:I always liked how Dead Space made your health meter part of the main character's suit.

By the way, if any of you haven't played the Dead Space rail shooter, do so, it is really good to the point where I would say it's one of the very best games in the genre. Wii version is ideal because who the hell actually has a move but the PS3 version plays fine with a controller.

Another health meter thing I like (I have these, apparently?): when they get longer as your health increases. Not always practical, but I like it when it is. What I don't like are health meters like Dragon Age: Inquisition where there are marks on them that signify certain numerical increments and as your health increases the distance between the marks gets smaller and there are more marks. It's so much less readable!Mak0rz posted:One of Dead Space's shticks is that they wanted to make it HUDless.

It was pretty brilliant but I couldn't see poo poo when I first played it on my roommate's SDTV back in the day. Yeah, in-universe justified HUDs are generally pretty cool when they're done well. A lot of first-person games do it--that's pretty easy, just say it's projected on your helmet's visor, Halo or Metroid Prime-style--but pulling it off in a third-person game that doesn't also have a "no health meter, regenerating health" thing going on is pretty impressive.
