Dan Didio posted:That Ghost Recon game seems hilariously bad. it's an extremely poorly made derivative of MGS5 gone multiplayer if, instead of Kojima, they just hired like 10 boring white guys to develop and write the game and program it. It is shockingly void of anything interesting besides like 20 minute bursts of failing to operate choppers stupidly with friends. exquisite tea posted:It's never too hard to imagine a more interesting application for the Nemesis system than the LOTR setting because just about anything is more interesting than Middle-Earth. I agree but at least the Nemesis system makes sense in a fantasy setting. I did NOT think the sequel would be ready at all in 2017 but I do hope they tweaked the difficulty in the new one. My only problem with Shadow of Mordor was that they give you all these ridiculous abilities that you're an untouchable god by halfway through the game. In my 2nd playthrough I had to deliberately not upgrade poo poo just to feel like it was somewhat challenging. The only times I would get killed otherwise were in the first few hours. Also excited for it being current gen only this time because the first game looked phenomenal.

poptart_fairy posted:Depends what you mean, really. The AI buddies in singleplayer are invisible to the enemy unless you engage in open combat and are pretty much a glorified multi-kill mechanic. Game just gets a whole lot funnier with four people because you're no longer a well oiled machine - just a bunch of gently caress-ups no doubt off their arse on beer and/or some sort of stimulant. Not so much the micromanage team part as much as it seems unfit of "The Tom Clancy BRAAAAND(brand... brand... brand)" to basically be a game about stumbling from one teammate made gently caress up to another. Would be cool under a less serious premise.

Reminder that it originally started out life as a system for a Nolan movies Batman game. Where guys constantly coming back makes more sense seeing as Batman doesn't kill people.

TheDarkFlame posted:As you guys have mentioned Dying Light, I'm having a lot of fun with it and it's a good co-op game, but how does the damage work? Combat does feel weighty and brutal, but it takes a week to actually kill anything, which is particularly frustrating when you get put up against living human people. Is it just that early weapons are weak, or that I really need to rely on headshots, or is there some skill I need that makes everything easier to handle? I got this around Christmas, add me (PSN id: TheBlindNinja) if you wanna play some co-op.

Killing zombies in Dying Light definitely gets faster once you start getting more bladed weapons.

Dying Light: Early game the bow is the best way to quickly and silently dispatch small packs of zombies. Also the more skills you unlock the easier it will be. Get the ability to stomp kill plus any ability that knocks down, and you can do that over and over. The most broken one is to get stealth kill, then get the ability to camouflage in zombie goop, then the ability to stealth kill from camo

Dying light is definitely one of those games that starts out super hard but by half way through you can just sleep though it. Which was really the only thing I didn't like about it. The zombies go from obnoxious damage sponges to trivially easy in no time flat.

I suspect and hope they didn't want to throw too much muscle into games and now that it's proven a success they will start ramping up big VR releases. Hoping late 2017 and 2018 prove to be great for VR.

I am glad that I cancelled my Gravity Rush 2 pre-order after the demo. I really like Kat, and the world she inhabits, but the game didn't feel nearly improved enough from the original. The combat certainly wasn't fixed! Plus I ran into three bugs during the demo, the last of which froze the game.

I didn't play after that as of yet I got it for 30 euro tho, so that's fine

I hope the next Shadow of Mordor actually gives you something to do with the whole control/hierarchy mechanic! It was really bizzare that the most interesting and complex part of the last one was introduced right near the end and you have gently caress-all to do with it.

I'm playing through Doom now and a conversation about Superman villain Doomsday came up and we got to talking that you could do a Doomsday/nemesis thing where certain demons could be reoccurring villains who come back immune to whatever weapons you used to kill them previously.

I can see why some people liked gravity rush 2 and some didn't. I'm definitely in the regret camp but the art style uniqueness was probably enough for some. There are certain aspects of it that I loved but the missions just felt super boring and the gameplay was really unrefined. I really think the first one benefited from being portable as it's the most fun in short bursts.

Is Watch Dogs 2 worth checking out? I was looking forward to the first game when it was first showed off, but the general reaction to it on release was pretty negative. The second one seems like it got a much better reception. I thought about buying both WD2 and For Honor for PS4 instead of for PC, since that way I don't have to deal with UPlay.

I enjoyed WD 2 well enough. It has its fair share of bullshit, but a lot of the drone hacking stuff is legit a lot of fun and I liked some of the characters a lot more than I thought I would.

It's still a modern open-world game but it's a lot more fun than the first one. It stopped trying to be GTA with a magic wand and instead became its own thing with a bunch of neat tools and a cast of snarky millennials instead of gritty street characters.

Watch Dogs 2 is so much better than the first that it's almost ridiculous. Amazing to see how much further you can get with funny memes and millennials than Uncle Batman's Schremp Howard posted:I would easily buy day one a wrestling game that had this feature but I wouldn't bet on 2K or WWE to get it right in 2017. It would have to be someone else. Fire Pro Wrestling is probably coming back so you've got that to look forward to.

I played it on the PS4. It is good. Story-wise the characters are much better than dour vile Aiden Pearce. The drone/rover gameplay is pretty fun and the city looks nice.

I posted this in the Watch_Dogs thread but I think this is a pretty good metric for judging the tone difference between the two. That said, there is still an issue with them giving you access to heavy duty weapons that don't really fit with the themes of the game. Non-violent is a lot more doable, but that said, sometimes you will want to just pop everyone in your way out of frustration.

Also I love that the developers knew exactly what to salvage from the first game, there is one level where you take control of a Spider Tank and go hog wild while Prodigy's "The Day is My Enemy" plays that was on my Top Ten Gaming Moments of 2016
