Shame about Telltale games streamlining everything... I played Tales of Monkey Island and it was pretty good, thought all of them were like that.

So... I got Bloodborne+DLC thanks for the suggestions thread! I'll but the others later (Last of Us I think I can borrow from a friend, also, after years of steam/gog only gaming... borrowing games feels so nostalgic). Btw: Nier:A owns

That sentence doesn't equate "Any amount of time spent playing a game you don't enjoy is a waste." I'll suffer through a tramride start, or a bad boss to get to better content. I wont grind for 10 hours. Everyone has that threshold and I am not surprised you found goons with a hilarious threshold for self punishment. But, ANY amount of time, is so absurd to be meaningless.

Bombadilillo posted:Also its very worth getting past slow starts or bad parts of some games. That's just absolutist and silly. "Crafting this quiver is boring, guess Ill stop playing Horizon" Thanks for the passive aggressive dig. I got to the parts you mentioned before I stopped playing. They didn't do much for me, and I had Nier in front of me. I also really wasn't thinking of quiver crafting, more or less the ammo crafting system and obsessively picking up red plants for health instead of a sane system where health autorecover in safe zones or at checkpoints. The quiver crafting was pretty high level bullshit to be honest. I had blocked it out of my mind. I did in fact stop trying to make quivers eventually.

Note there are some good weapons in the DLC, you can start it and leave it as you please after you are able to access it, so it might be worth it to take some trips in earlier to see what you can find. (or lookup how to do suicide runs to early juicy loot if you like)

Yeah even Horizon has its slow opening hours. Different people are going to have different tolerance thresholds for stuff they don't enjoy and feel differently about the rewards for enduring it. I had to drag myself through Nier:A at times but I'm really glad I did. And I'm glad there are people who are willing to evangelize for it because otherwise people who might've enjoyed it wouldn't try it at all.

To my mind, it seemed a little small at first, but everything it set up paid off, especially when the story opens up and you see how deep the rabbit hole actually goes. I also appreciated that the story gets larger in concert with the available map getting larger. Nice touch. It really helped that I find the core gameplay mechanics incredibly fun. I haven't played the new Zelda, because why the hell would I buy a switch to play one game, but the controls and some of the combat from Horizon reminded me of the smoothness and feel that I remember from playing Zeldas of the past, with awesome extra additions. I believe everyone who tells me that the new Zelda is fantastic, but I doubt its story is anywhere as good as Horizon's, because Zelda never really cared that much about the narrative in the first place. I mean, Horizon found a way to justify "hunting robot dinosaurs" in the story that wasn't completely absurd. Only very absurd. That's an achievement all in itself.

I'd argue the backstory to the world of Horizon is a little too on the nose that it's incredibly depressing.

While we're discussing why you should or shouldn't hate Nier, is Divinity II worth $15 on PS4? It just went on sale this week and playing XCom 2 this weekend renewed my love of turn-based combat.

Zeldas story is 20 minutes of main plot in a possibly 100 hour game (30 minutes if you do Tarry Town). So yeah, not a better story. The open world IS amazing however. So much so that it man every minute of open world in Horizon feel terrible.

I was hooked on the first Nier from the intro until the last ending. It took me a lot longer to warm up to Nier A. The story is actually pretty interesting and some of the areas and bosses are really neat, and the music is good, but I didn't really feel any of the characters or their dialogue. If it weren't for the fantastic final ending I would have been pretty disappointed, to be honest. Stuff like that ending is a big part of why I still play games, and it made up for a lot of my problems with the game. That, and the fact that you can buy trophies with in game currency was enough to get me to Platinum it. Much easier than getting a Platinum for the first game!

It's utterly gorgeous, but it's a more traditional look-but-don't-touch video game environment. Exploration without climbing or hang-gliding feels like I'm missing a drat limb.

ashpanash posted:I mean, if it takes 30 hours of tedious grinding and an absurd, seemingly meaningless/inscrutable narrative Aliens invaded, robots fight to save mankind. Not exactly a hard concept to grasp, and "inscrutable" doesn't mean it's bad, it means you didn't understand it. There's no grinding. The only tedium is that you kind of have to replay large sections of the game, but they do a bunch of stuff to make those sections interesting.

Renoistic posted:I was hooked on the first Nier from the intro until the last ending. For me, I found that the context I had after beating the game really made all of the characters feel so much more interesting; in a way, I feel like the game is intended to have you see these beings as human by the end, but you begin considering them not. It's that shift in the player's perspective that gives the game's narrative its subtle strength.

Finished Prey today so I'll cross post my thoughts on it from that thread:quote:Finished today at just over 20 hours. Really good game - enjoyed it a lot. Shame the patch for ps4 just hit today because I loaded it up with only ~45 minutes of game left to finish this afternoon. The controls seem fixed and sound mixing much better, so that's good. Definitely recommend the game. The world they build is awesome; how interconnected the space station is and all the little details and secrets and stuff are really cool. The combat starts off kinda meh but gets much better once you start getting upgrades and mixing your weapons and powers together for fun combos and stuff. Story is interesting throughout, though depending on how much you like to explore you can go a loooongggg time without advancing it.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Aliens invaded, robots fight to save mankind. Not exactly a hard concept to grasp, and "inscrutable" doesn't mean it's bad, it means you didn't understand it. Don't give me this bullshit. I am not implying that you are an idiot for liking the story or that the game is bad. That is not my position. I accept that people like the story and that the gameplay is appealing for many people, and I can accept the game's quality. But don't piss all over me and call it rain. You may like the narrative, and for all I know the narrative may get better, but after ten hours and Ending A, this is how I see it: The loving idiot stock anime Adam/Eve characters make no sense, and the motivations of 2B vacillate from one extreme (emotionless, condescending) to another (absolute love and devotion) without any justification. As for grinding, running through the combat itself is grinding enough for me, as I don't like the mechanics. If you do, that's fine, but I find myself utterly bored as I move from place to place trying to get to the story parts everyone is heralding. Combine that with the asinine gating of fast-travel and it's a grind. For me. You can defend the game all you want, and I get that you want to defend a game that you like. But calling me an idiot because I have a different opinion isn't an argument, it's being loving obnoxious. Get over yourself.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Finished Prey today so I'll cross post my thoughts on it from that thread: I have no experience with the patch. But I disagree with all this. The game before powers was trash combat, only getting better by it being over quicker. The enemy design was trash and unvaried. It never rose to the level of fun. I did enjoy how the world opened up and connected, but that highlighted the ships ridiculous design. You have to get to the bridge through the arboritum?  the exterior shortcuts were terrible.I enjoyed the story telling around midgame before it collapsed. It got pretty good. But everything was mired in terrible gameplay and I hated every minute of it. I eventually leveled health enough to run through areas to get to the ending. Which... I never feel the need to play this again. The power variety doesnt intrigue me because I don't want to interact with the trash enemies in any way and the story isn't worth the slog. If the patch suddenly fixed all the controls and gameplay, I still wouldn't care to return.
