OK I beat Axiom Verge. It was good and I enjoyed the entire thing the whole way through and it never got bad so I dunno what you guys are talking about.

i bought crysis in the steam sale and now i'm sad crytek will never make another hilariously janky, terribly optimized linear stealth fps with ridiculously open level design and fun guard ai at least there's also crysis warhead... e; other thing i'm sad about: crytek giving up, on putting "cry" into the title of every game they develop The Colonel fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Dec 28, 2016 |

My favorite moment was the rusalka true body reveal, legit spooked me. That or the fever dream which was, well, fitting to what it was. AV has a bunch of great moments.

I felt the final boss was a bit of a wet fart but IMO the game only gets bad when you try to 100% the son of a bitch Pro tip do not try to 100% Axiom Verge, the location of some items is literally poo poo-you-not RNG

I have the minifig at my office, but here's a photo of the other ones. This is amazing, love that knit Puppy Cat. My wife knitted a Finn and Jake last month that I'll have to get pictures of when I get back from vacation and post.

Axiom Verge, and something like Odallus, are to me shining examples of why those types of indie/retro/pixel games have absolutely no use for a story and their inclusion is only ever to their detriment. Everyone seems to think they have the writing chops to be as clever or charming as the Shovel Knight folks and they fail every time. If a short intro right before the title/menu screen is all that was needed for a NES game then it's all these games should've used as well.

It's incredibly hamfisted with extraordinarily terrible dialogue. All it needed to do was be like Metroid and let the environments/music/art direction inform the story and atmosphere, because those are all solid in this case. Normally I'd say if you had to have some sort of background delivered to the player in-game you could do it via logs you find in the game's world, but AV did have those and they were essentially gibberish.

It's not even that it's hard, honestly, it's that I don't have any clue what's going on. Hard is fine. I don't mind that I'm getting brutalized by dogs and losing my points and starting over, I knew the game would be challenging. And I don't mind an RPG asking me to determine stats and pick weapons without information because lots of them do that. But I don't know why I'm in Victorian spooky town, I don't know what the points represent or even do, I don't know why there are monsters and insane people and why they're trying to kill me or why I want to kill them. The tutorial floor skeletons tell you how to use one of your two weapons, but not that you have to equip them first. There are four slots and I don't know if it makes a difference which slot I've put my weapon in. The only thing to contextualize the game for me was a not-great 10 second CG movie with an eyeless guy. I assume that the story will sort of get introduced to me, but I kind of doubt the game will ever explain how I even use my blunderbuss, and the fact that I am basically going to have to look it up online is frustrating. I get why people complain about tutorials, and they should always be skippable, but this is what happens when there isn't one. It's just atmosphere with a whole lot of confusion, and it makes the beginning of the game feel kinda weak IMO

The game does not teach you about the Blunderbuss explicitly. Instead what happens is that early on you're put up against a boss with basically the same skillset as you and you're expected to learn by realizing everything you can do he can do and vice-versa. It's actually a pretty clever way to handle it. The early areas are easy enough to stumble around until you reach him and then you're forced to confront a guy on your level who uses your tactics until you can beat him at his own game

Bicyclops posted:How do you even shoot the gun, though? You can read the manual for controller tips and such. I know its barely highlighted and people largely don't know about them but every game on consoles has a manual if you pop out to the home screen and look at the game in the list. It will probably help with learning the controls.

I dunno, I don't think it's totally unreasonable to expect a game to teach the basics of combat in a day and age when it isn't just pressing one of the buttons, but holding buttons, holding buttons and pressing other ones, and a whole lot of combo stuff are basically embedded into every game. Vague clues as to the story are fine, but I don't feel like I started with vague clues. I'm not going to give up on it, but I don't think this is a case of the game "not talking down"- it's not talking at all yet.

i didn't really get into bloodborne either but not because of obscure controls or plot or anything. i think i would need to burn out on eu4/hitman/nuclear throne at the same time before i could sit down and go "yeah wanna play bloodborne"
