The earliest parts of Etrian Odyssey games are almost always the hardest, too. Their gameplay systems just really tend to front-load difficulty, at least in their turn-based RPGs.

You have to look at the results for a while, and then it kicks you out to matchmaking again, then find a match, then have everyone ready up, and then play the 60 second warm up thing, and then it starts. In the past a game ended, a new map loaded and boom you're back to fragging

Cowcaster posted:isn't hyper attentive attention deficit an oxymoron. i always thought it stood for hyperactive People with ADHD can hyperfocus sometimes, especially if it's something that's really stimulating (for example, like a video game). So while someone with ADHD might have trouble focusing on work or chores or stuff like that, they might not have any trouble at all playing a game for 12 hours straight. It's less that you can't focus, and more like you can't really control your focus.

In the past a game ended, a new map loaded and boom you're back to fragging Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. It's a slog to get through all of the stuff that ISN'T playing the game and when the game finally comes, it's literally just Quake 3 again but a little worse. It really adds or changes nothing to either the Quake formula or the freemium formula so personally, I'd rather just play Quake Live. Who knows, though. Maybe there's a core group of players out there who want all that rank up, premium, 3-different-in-game-currencies faff added to their vanilla death match game. It's not for me though. mutata fucked around with this message at 17:33 on May 5, 2017 |

TF2 HAT MINING RIG posted:I liked the Crystal Chronicles ds game even if it was flawed, I would like a sequel but not a dull singleplayer thing and hopefully better than the Final Fantasy monster hunter ripoff on 3ds. The Crystal Chronicles DS game did have a sequel, with online multiplayer even. It was the one that had that hilariously clunky Wii version that was the same as the DS version but you had to push a button to swap between the top and bottom screens. IIRC it did have crossplay though which was pretty cool.

I'd love a version of the GameCube Crystal Chronicles with online multiplayer. For predictable reasons my friends don't have a bunch of readily-available GBAs these days but drat would I love to play more Crystal Chronicles multiplayer.

For now, though, I just get up to pee and/or refill my mug.

mutata posted:Speaking of, apparently DOTA 2 is getting a coop campaign mode? Seems like a pretty good idea to me. It's always been a bit surprising that more moba companies haven't thought that there might be people who like the basic mechanics but not the competitive aspects and accompanying terrible community. I mean the real reason is that it requires more investment than making one map.

I haven't looked at it but I'm willing to bet the little co-op Dota2 event is just that, not a permanent game mode. They have one of these every 6 months or whatever when they do a big event-based patch.

I didnt buy prey for today because there were no reviews and i hope bethesda's preorder numbers are lovely on account of their secrecy experiment

I didn't buy it because the demo sucked but a few people have said it's good so maybe it was just a bad demo, wouldn't be the first recently.

My copy of Prey should be coming in from Gamefly today, people said the demo was bad but people actually playing the full game say it's good?

The demo is pretty lame amnesia plot garbage i was unhyped by it. I was hoping to see some of the cool powers in it but it felt very tired to me and the sound design is very bad

Prey is really good, like really loving good. However if somebody didn't like the demo then I don't know if the full release is for them. However however - apparently the PC version controls way better than the console ones, runs like butter and has a better UI and stuff so that might make a difference. I'm playing k+m and it's all good.

What makes it so good?

The Darksiders 3 gameplay looks like straight up garbage. Somehow they decided it would be a good idea to take a series known for ludicrously hefty weapons and make the main character use a wimpy little whip. Like I guess whips can be interesting weapons but you really need to emphasize the *SNAP* and make it look like it loving hurts and the Darksiders whip just looks like it's gently brushing the enemies.

It's also pre alpha and looks pretty much like it was hastily put together due to the leak. I think it was a bad idea to put it out, but I'm not going to be terribly fussed about it.
