You have a very limited idea of what "game design" is, and a really limited imagination. That sounds inflammatory but you're either being disingenuous, haven't thought the whole thing through (you can't understand why somebody would want to replay parts of a game they find fun while getting progressive rewards at the same time?), or you're incapable of imagining things beyond your own experiences and preferences. While we're at it, find a better way of articulating your grievance instead of using the word "lazy."

CharlieFoxtrot posted:The Source engine is a fork of the original Quake engine isn't it Late reply but a short explanation is: GoldSrc (Half-Life 1) was based on Quake 1 engine with some Quake 2 stuff. Source engine (Half-Life 2) still has Quake stuff in it. In fact, in 2016 you can still find code from Quake 3 engine in a bunch of games (like the last Call of Duty game). This is posted from time to time on Steam thread but you can add Doom 2016 (IdTech 6) coming from Rage's IdTech 5.

Or is it just games that have loot that can roll with random/procedural stats/attributes that are lazy, like Borderlands or Diablo? If so, why? Is Destiny more or less lazy than The Division? When the loot systems in those games got "better" was that because the developers decided to stop being lazy, or is the laziness something that can't be patched away? You made half a point and are either too lazy or dumb to articulate anything worthwhile.

Lately I've been having some weird problems with my DS4 controller. As best I can tell, it seems to be activating phantom presses of L3 when i'm just pressing the analog stick in a direction. It may be doing more than that, but I can't really tell. It's most apparent when I'm playing NHL '16, and my guys will just start randomly doing non-stop spin moves or only skating backwards no matter which direction I'm skating or other weird poo poo like that (and I'm not even playing as the Leafs!  )I've done some googling, and found something that the CoD crowd calls the L3 Sprint Glitch, which sounds more like a controller defect than a glitch, and also may or may not be what I'm experiencing. Has anyone else run into a problem like this, and is there any fix that doesn't involve ordering special tools and lubricants to open up my controller and spray in there and it might not even fix the problem anyway? I'm perfectly happy to send the controller in to Sony to repair, but if the cost of that will be the same as buying a new controller, then it's probably better to just do that, as much as it pains me to have to replace a not-even-2-year-old rarely used controller.

You are a grade A idiot Akuma. I said why I didn't like them and that it's fine if other people do. Obviously I'm not referring to dark souls when I'm talking about loot games. If you like doing the same thing 1000 times in destiny I'm not here to stop you.

If your argument about FPS games immediately becomes "You are stupid and by the way Dark Souls is bad" then people are going to think well, this guy is going to have some good points to make, for sure. We could probably talk for a fair bit about what kind of variety is satisfying and what makes for an underwhelming weapon, or we could just not bother and call each other slurs as is tradition of our video game people.

As best I can tell, it seems to be activating phantom presses of L3 when i'm just pressing the analog stick in a direction. It may be doing more than that, but I can't really tell. I have this problem in Rocket League where the R3/L3 seem to activate when I move the sticks sometimes, but from what others have said it's just me being heavy-handed. Does it happen all the time, or just occasionally? You can actually plug it into a PC, get a diagnostics/mapping program, hammer on the buttons and see what's triggering when.

veni veni veni posted:Obviously I'm not referring to dark souls when I'm talking about loot games. Why can't they just design more encounters instead of just making the numbers bigger? Because it's a way of giving players more game to play. Here's something you may not know about Destiny: if you buy it today, with all the DLC, you never have to replay anything to get to the first of the natural soft caps on gear level. There's enough content in that game to let you play through the quests and missions and do all of it (even the raids) without replaying anything, doing dailies or weeklies or anything. You get drops and they're better than what you have often enough that you discard the poo poo you don't want/need and keep playing new content until you get something better. Then when you've done it all, or you hit the last raid and want to be better geared for it, you can start replaying or doing dailies/weeklies. You can hit max level and keep playing because the game is fun to play, or just stop if the repetition is boring. This wasn't the case at launch or during the first year, or even a lot of the second, because the loot system evolved over time to, frankly, better respect the player's time. The genre isn't inherently "trash" because there's a loot system with procedural stats and attributes on gear, different games can have wildly different systems. In Destiny any gun beyond the rare tier has fixed stats, but the perks are rolled from a pool. Beyond legendary there's no randomness at all. What is always procedural is the overall level. Other games don't use anything like this system. If you wanted to play Destiny as a co-op shooter and stop at the end of the unique content you absolutely could, and you'd get dozens of hours out of it.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:For Honor has a $220 US edition. Yowza. Plate armor doesn't have boobs. I think they misunderstand why it's called a breastplate! Do people actually like these figurines? It seems like every time I read about them they end up being low-quality pieces of junk with 1/10th the detail they show in the promo pictures. I'm a sucker for steel book versions of games myself, so I can't I can't really say anything. I'm just curious of there is a big enough audience for these things. The Persona 5 Collector's Edition is only 90 dollars. 72 if you have Prime. I think it may be worth it alone for the soundtrack and art book.

They're structurally kind of similar but The Division is more "open world"y and is a third person modern military cover shooter, where Destiny is a space magic fantastical first person shooter. They don't play the same at all. If you like modern military stuff and cover based third person shooters then you might like The Division. If you like open world games on top of that that's another layer that might make you like it more.

Most of the similarities they share tend to be positives for me. They both have really engaging moment to moment gameplay and a nice feel to the guns. They both have an interesting looking world to explore. They both have good synergy between the classes/skills. e: sorry what I meant to say was they're currently in court after Bungie sent a C&D to Ubisoft Massive for damaging the brand with a total copycat game FadedReality fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Dec 29, 2016 |

I personally disagree about gun feel in The Division, it feels like it takes a lot longer to get to the point where your guns don't feel like garbage - if that even happens at all because I stopped before reaching that. Everybody feels like a bullet sponge and your guns seem very inaccurate.

Yeah, the Division isn't really a shooter the way Destiny is, which really hurt it in my opinion. If Destiny wasn't a mechanically perfect and satisfying shooter, the looty bits themselves would not have kept me playing the game. I did keep playing the Division a little more and finally got some decent weapons between levels 5-10 but it's still not really a shooter.

the division is absolutely a shooter. it's just a) in third person, which some might not enjoy as much as a first person shooter, and b) not as good at it as destiny is

Current Division is quite a bit different than release Division. For one enemies aren't nearly as bullet-spongy as they used to be. Most dudes will die in the span of a single magazine if you have good weapons. Secondly, the game rains loot down on you now so it's not hard to geared. It's really a matter of getting the right gear sets to suit your playstyle, but that's when you get into the min-maxing at the highest level. It has some great atmosphere and it's a fun game to just explore around in.

Yeah the 1.4 patch was similar to Diablo 3's 2.0 patch in that it fixed almost everything that kept me from playing more of the game. It's also similar to Diablo 3 in that it's going to take forever for people to stop talking about the issues it used to have as a current representation.

Yeah, The Division is a game where you can call the enemies bullet sponges and be accurate about it. There's like one class of rifle that will let you get single-headshot kills on normal enemies, otherwise everyone can take loads of ammo, and even more if you are running co-op. Also it has weak melee options so it automatically feels bad to me already. The best thing was getting a crazy SMG that dumped its mag in half a second, so I would just run up on people and BRRAP, that was rad That said I enjoyed playing through the campaign as an open world Ubi game
