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 boiler room is filled with big-armed zombies (the game's crimson heads) as a tutorial to the player that sometimes running is a better idea than fighting. If you skip them they won't be there when you're done with the following rooms.

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.

They would never do this in a million years but I hope the next Far Cry is set in the Hollers of Kentucky or the Appalachian mountains in Virginia. Really any run down white trash spot in America. You play a Sociology PHD candidate studying the declining birth rate or someone trying to set up a free needle exchange clinic when you get kidnapped by a bunch of neo nazis and alt-righters, and you have to fight your way out. "The Resistance" could be a Planned Parenthood or a bunch of middle school science teachers trying to teach evolution. Instead of blowing up weed plantations you burn down fentanyl pill mills and all the outposts are neo nazi compounds. It would finally make sense for some random wandering merchant to have an RPG, a g-36 and thousands of rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. Think of all the factions you could fight. The KKK, neo-nazi's , college republicans and dudes taking over a bird refuge because Obama.

Have a skip cutscene button but it still has QTEs so you skip the cutscene just for it to cut to the QTE part and you fail.

Naw, I mean literal skeletons. Like the one that you have inside of you. But on the outside, and murderous. Like those pricks in Dark Souls, CastleVania, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, the Scarecrow hallucinations in Arkham Asylum, Darkest Dungeon, Mario, Zelda, Terraria, etc etc. You get what I mean now.

"You see in Far Cry 5 we really wanted to make a statement. Every time you take out a tower, you will be given more Tarian Points. With these you can upgrade skill trees and get more perks. Some are passive like allowing you to have all female enemies immediately run when you approach, or you can use active abilities that allow you to hack computers and set up flash mobs to protect your territory."

"In the new Infamous, we've taken complaints about the morality system to heart. Now, choices will no longer range between helping someone because of altruism and blowing up cars in the street just because. Now, your choices will have far more meaning as you decide between tipping 40% after a meal and throwing children off rooftops and trying to score the most points by aiming to land them in a a running wood chipper."

I started the modern times campaign in Tropico 4, so I finally experience the buildings changing depending on the time, and I'm not a big fan. At certain years a building will be "upgraded", this comes with a price increase and some buildings go from not requiring power to needing power. So apartments become modern apartments, which provide higher housing qualities for a higher price and requiring power. Wharves become fish farms which don't drain your fish in the sea, farms become biofarms which lets you grow multiple crops at once...

So the problem: You cannot go back to the old versions. If you wanted to build a cabaret, better get it built pretty quickly in your rule otherwise you can only build theatres which are bigger, cost 50% more and ironically, have a lower base entertainment quality and pulls less money from tourists. Wanted to provide a good amount of housing quality to a large amount of people that apartments give, get those apartments build in like 7 years otherwise they'll double in price and require electricity. Oh is that not an option? I guess you'll be shoving your middle class citizens into tenements!

Let me build my old buildings dammit :mad:

E: drat, restaurants go from costing 2k and require no power to costing 10k and requiring power. Meanwhile gourmet restaurants only costs 5k in addition to power. And provides better base service :psyduck:

E2: Also gently caress off El Diablo. I'm not waiting years for tropican children to get old enough to work.

Shadow Warrior 2: I dunno if i've said this before, but I just remembered that if you have, say, a minigun or rocket launcher with a turret gem embedded, you throw that turret out to shoot things in a multiplayer game, and the game crashes, that gun is gone. Not just unequipped, but entirely gone from your loving inventory.

I've spent a ton of time on this game, and I definitely enjoy it to an extent, but really I feel like your biggest enemy in most runs is not the enemies and rooms you encounter, but sheer tedium. Once you've cleared the game enough times the default difficulty ramps up for each and every run and without any helpful offensive weapons or tools it's just boring and takes forever.
Also, last night I completed a challenge run. My prize? Two more pills added to the pool of random pills! Both of them negative! :suicide:

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.

Fable 2's ending's really only good if you take the ending the bad guy was going to take to revive only your family and gently caress everyone else. I did it while using the same kind of gun he shoots you with as a kid even; basically just ended up exactly like him. Even bought his castle.
