Judge Tesla posted:Digimon World: Next Order is a very fun game but one of its core mechanics is rather harsh, your Digimon partners can drop dead after a certain amount of time and are reborn with higher base stats than before, now this isn't a bad thing but its kind of a bummer that my Devimon dropped dead just before I was due to enter a new area which forced me to spend more time training up the new guy only for my second Digimon to drop dead soon after and start the process all over again. That's a thing in all of the Digimon games where you raise one digimon. I was playing Re:Digitize on my PSP and I've gotten hosed so hard after my Greymon died and I got a Gatomon who has no compatibility with any moves that I've collected.

In the original Digimon World there was an area where your digimon aged twice as fast. Guess what area sucked if you got lost in? Also it always sucked when you were in the middle of something, trying to unlock a specific digimon for your town and then your partner just dropped dead. Or turned into a numemon because it decided to poo poo on the floor three inches from the toilet.

Walton Simons posted:I love XCOM and XCOM2, but I really struggle with the way it handles difficulty. If you lose, it gets harder and harder until you lose entirely. If you win, it gets easier. I'm struggling like hell in my XCOM2 campaign. I lost a mission so it triggered an event where my enemies get more armour. This likely contributed to me failing another mission, so the game has cut my regular income in half. Yes, punish losing, but come on. You're supposed to feel that way in XCOM, like you're on the verge of losing all the time.

I had a weird moment in the first game where I had an angemon for the vaccine only dungeon, and right before I got there he took a poo poo on the floor and turned into a devimon. Because that's how that works, if an angemon hosed up they turned evil. Ruined that plan.

Well, it's a completely self-aware series that has a difficulty which goes from "easy" to "broken" the second you upgrade your own character, let alone use the AI. A single moron among the bunch is hardly game breaking.

I decided to restart MGSGZ and MGSV because of this thread and I now remember how grindy that poo poo became when Konami decided to embrace microtransactions. Base building is artificially gated by arbitrary time and money sinks and for some loving reason I need to be online in order to access the bulk of my money, resources and rewards from singleplayer dispatch missions.

Its even better when the servers are down so you get penalized anyways. Usually it happens at night... except I work a closing shift so it always happens when I get home and I can't play that night because my GMP will be in the red.

the worst thing about it is that you can't opt out of that aspect of online if you don't want to get locked out of your stock. it's the difference between having 2 trucks and having 25. I hate that I've sent legions of s+ soldiers to this one dispatch mission and it still has the success rate of 66% and always fails.

I dug out my 3DS and started playing DKC Returns again, but the controls are kind of awful. The roll has an awkward delay and never goes quite as far as you want it to. I've lost so many lives to trash mobs because I start rolling too late and get hit during the spin-up, or too early and stop before hitting another enemy in line. It's also super obvious that this was a console port, because I keep jumping into off-screen hazards. It's incredibly frustrating.

You can point to a couple parts of it and say 'oh yeah this boss fight was awesome', or 'that level was pretty cool', but the first two were such incredibly tight games where every aspect was polished to the highest degree that this one really kinda sucks by comparison for just being okay.

Finally got around to playing Far Cry 4, because my computer isn't garbage anymore. While I was driving to some mission objective or whatever, I just automatically took a base without being seen because an elephant or some wild animals had killed everyone there, or something else had happened, I'm not even sure what. I realize to a lot of people that would be a positive, but it just kind of completely demoralized me from ever playing the game again. I enjoy sneaking around and was having an okay time up until then, but it just killed the fun of the game for me. I can't fully articulate why, but I felt robbed.

This isn't really a solution to your problem, but there is an option to reset all of the bases back to hostile, so you can do that later if you like.

Trick Question posted:Finally got around to playing Far Cry 4, because my computer isn't garbage anymore. It's the same reason no one likes the ending of fable 2. Having poo poo taken from you and being done for you, but still being rewarded for it feels stupid. I mean if you engineered the elephant attack or whatever, you'd probably be laughing your rear end off at how you managed to pull that off. But if you're just riding by and the game is like "Yo, have a free base." It's weird and doesn't feel as rewarding.

It's happened to me, although I was wandering around the perimeter trying to mark the guards when one of them aggroed an elephant for no loving reason at all and it proceeded to destroy everyone. It was really funny to watch although kinda disappointing to miss out on capturing the base because that is the most fun part of FC4. But after I finished the game I just reset all outposts and cleared them again. Elephants are insanely strong and pretty much nothing in the first part of the game can bring them down, which really becomes apparent when you take the elephant rider perk. It's almost too easy.

Yeah, I'd feel robbed too, if I didn't even get to watch the AI impotently flail as it tried to defend itself against an elephant or a streak of tigers or whatever FC4 has for hostile wildlife.

The thing dragging Far Cry 4 down for me is I spent dozens of hours on FC3 and it just feels like the same thing again but somehow much less interesting. I hope FC5 goes back to the tropical island holiday type environment.

I said it before but man oh man in Resident Evil 7: The Molded loving suck hardcore and stop the game dead in it's tracks. The game goes from an amazing spooky haunted house, to a shooting gallery with enemies that ruin you incredibly fast and just loving gobble up every last shred of ammo you have. Two or three are okay, but there are way way WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many of them. I went into the basement with 5 shotgun shells, 28 pistol bullets and 10 special pistol bullets and STILL had to resort to my knife to kill the last two. What a loving awful idea Edit: Also one for Fallout 4 So I'm being chased by some dudes WAY WAY over my level, whatever, I run into another building. Oh cool, so it's a small room and the enemy warped in there with me! Oh rad! Now I'm being killed literally the second I load back in. What an awesome and well put together game!

The current port of RE4 on Steam doesn't have a loving quick knife button, you have to hold space and then click. I'm pretty sure the old PC port had it, as well as like every other console port of the game. It's not like it actually takes longer to do in practice, it's just way more annoying, which makes the reasoning to drop it even weirder.

Just had this happen to me in New Vegas, some Deathclaws from an end-game area somehow caught wind of me from the other side of a 16-foot-high rock wall and I couldn't seem to shake them in any way besides loading in a save from before I walked in to that area.

Some patch moved 3/4 of my poo poo into online storage where it can't be accessed or sold, so I guess I played Grand Theft Afghanistan for no reason.

Yes it's an actually competent PC port. I believe Capcom ditched their "Let's outsource PC ports to random Chinese companies" during the PS3/360 era. Most of their games are made for PC first now then ported (they just hold off on the actual PC release cause reasons).
