RagnarokAngel posted:For a game like yakuza it's the kitchen sink approach where they want to let you do a bunch of stuff even if it doesn't necessarily jive as a whole. I understand that, but this game actually rewards you for completing things, with points that let you get a variety of upgrades, or even the golden pistol, so I want to finish them. I just don't want to have to do them

Point is that it's a dumb game.

Who What Now posted:You should always bet odd, actually. The most common result of rolling 2d6 is 7. Yes, which is great if you want to know what number you're going to roll, but there are eighteen odd and eighteen even sum results from rolling two six sided dice. The probability of getting a six or an eight, put together, is just shy of double the chance of rolling a seven (10/36 vs 6/36). It all comes down to even odds, no pun intended. Imagine it this way, if your first die lands on an odd number, the total will be even if the second die is odd, or odd if the second one is even. It's 50/50.

I've been enjoying Hollow Knight recently. Really great metroidvania with satisfying combat and sort of a dark souls-ish story telling. I just wish the save points weren't so poorly placed throughout the world. Died to a boss and now I have to traverse like half the zone to get back.

good lord, do you think he knew already that they were gonna take the metal gear franchise and make it a survival game with zombies and warned everyone covertly with the lovely SKULLS fights? holy poo poo, Styx has a sidequest where you steal the main antagonist's wife's ashes. and it counts as loot. i'm not even mad, that's a clever way of contextualizing treasure to make the player character a reprehensible person.

Torment: Tides of Numenera has an isometric faux 2D sort of view meaning you're at a fixed camera angle all game and just pan around the map. This is a massive, massive pain in the rear end when trying to position your characters for attacks with an arc or area effect. If an enemy stands closer to the camera then its model blocks the ground behind it from view - you can't go there since your mouse will snap to the enemy to attack it. Divinity: Original Sin avoided this problem by having a toggle to go to a top down perspective. Combine that with no in-fight saving and o ability to undo a move if you walked somewhere you are actually unable to hit/interact with anything and you'll be frustrated occasionally. ...Other than that it's exactly the prosaic, interactive, beautiful spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment I wanted.

I do that a lot. nice  it's a good thing, I post positive things here every now and then to temper the inherently negative tone this thread will generate. I like it because it's so cartoonishly evil. like the devs probably did it to show how edgy and badass Styx is at sticking it to Barimen but it just feels so loving petty to steel someone's dead wife's remains. it's like the sacrifice room in god of war where you're basically pushing a block but the block is a guy in a cage begging you not to do it. it's a mundane task dressed up as something evil and horrific.

Things dragging down the original God of War: That loving sacrifice room Being the dumb idiot I am, I start pretty much any action games on hard or higher and always refuse to lower difficulty, for some reason that room almost more than anything else in the series, gave me some ungodly (Heh) amount of hell because I got there/to the checkpoint with super low health and so had to deal with all the buffed up dudes that keep spawning forever, while carting this soldier up to the barbecue.

I'm not very far into Horizon:Zero Dawn, but I hate that when using Focus you walk so God-drat slow. I get that the developers didn't want you to have it on all the time, so there's a trade-off between the info you get and your speed, but the reduction is too much, IMO.

im pooping! posted:what are you even talking about? if were strictly talking about the sum, there are 11 results, 6 even and 5 odd Two odd numbers added together or two even numbers added together will always result in an even number. An odd number added to an even number will always result in an odd number. So regardless of what you roll on the first die, the second die has a 50% chance to land on something that will result in an odd number and 50% chance to land on something that will result in an even number. For example, if you roll a 3 on the first die then a roll of 1, 3 or 5 on the second die comes up even, a roll of 2, 4 or 6 comes up odd. 50/50. It's the same as flipping two coins but only caring about whether they match, not what side they actually land on. 25% H H (match) 25% H T (no match) 25% T H (no match) 25% T T (match) 50/50.

Styx is definitely a budget title. the bugs in this game work on sound, but only the sounds you make. there's a room in one of the midgame levels with three guards and two bugs. the bugs will always search for you when you kill even if it's a muffled kill, which has so far been considered silent in the game. this reduces the combat in the room into a kill order: bugs first, then people. and if there's more than one bug in the room - which is always, btw - you're either waiting for quite a bit until the bug deaggros (which is longer than what the caution symbol above its head indicates because it will immediately turn hostile if you make noise too early after it calms down), or you waste your throwing knives on the drat things. that would all be fine if the bugs or the people reacted to each others' presence. it feels like the ai can't support that level of complexity. the game has good design choices in terms of upping the difficulty. the full plate knights are great because they prevent direct removal but are still susceptible to indirect removal. the change in environment into domestic areas with lanterns instead of torches remove your ability to affect the environment so you have to learn to adapt to the environment. but the bugs don't have many removal options and don't interact with the rest of the game world in a way that the player can affect. that, and I don't think the upgrade for silent running while invisible works.

Watch Dogs 2 is a surprisingly good game, but easily its greatest sin is the awful nerdcore "hack all the things" song it's always playing that gets stuck in my head constantly so I'm always hearing some nasal-voiced white guy rapping lines like "So before, they'll see me after, I'm Advice dog, Courage Wolf, plus Philosoraptor" and "My disaster recovery requires even more disks."
