Action Tortoise posted:Tracer and Genji are the closest to the Scout's type of play. I'm a career Scout and I picked up Dva because her style of tanking is more about hit and run tactics like the Scout. Tracer is great if you know how to not be a predictable dummy. Most people will zap you, then warp right behind you, then warp back to their original spot. Then they wonder how you knew exactly where they were going to be!

While it is really cool that Axiom Verge was made entirely by one dude. I kinda wish someone had been around to tell him "No." on there being 20 weapons.

It has great core gameplay and a solid rpg system for progressing your dudes. On the other hand it also has terrible AI, boring missions, bad camera and UI, and repetitive maps(nice maps tho). And I'm fully prepared for them to gently caress up and make the same mistakes with the Necromunda video game.

Yeah, basically all my enthusiasm for that game vanished when I saw it was from the same dudes that made Mordheim. Those guys spent so much time reinventing the wheel of an already existing game's core mechanics that they never really got around to the rest of the car. And despite all their effort, those core mechanics still ended up being worse than those of a 20 year old tabletop game.

hirvox posted:I had such high hopes when the first few locked doors relied on specific firing patterns. And many of them are so gimmicky that they're dangerous to use in combat. And then there's that weird splitting bouncing one that turns the scorpion boss from nearly impossible to trivial because you can just shoot under his armoured bit. Boss music was loving amazing though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHmvJC29O3w Edit: Also the plot drops all these hints and insinuations that you're just exploring a digital reality (and gives you a gun that literally causes memory glitches) and then it never actually comes up properly in the story.

Sniper Elite 4 is such a great stealth game and I'm getting a fairly good handle on how bullet drop and zeroing my scope works. Few things: - I just did the Capo mission for the Mafia and at the end of the score screen I missed a side-op even though I talked to all the guys at the base before going out. I don't think I wanna replay a mission just to 100% the side-ops. - There's this recurring soundbyte of an Italian guy being an art snob but I have no idea where he is. Like I've killed all the Nazis on the map and there's no one around me but there's this voice from who I assume is God at this point talking about the flaws in an artpiece. - I wish I could choose how to balance out my type of ammo at the start of each mission so I'd have more Suppressed Ammo at the beginning and rely on Loud Ammo near the end. - Why does Suppressed Ammo add a suppressor on my rifle? If rifle suppressors exist why can't I add that to my rifle? What the hell do I have to do to unlock these upgrades and how do I upgrade rifle stability because that's the only stat that doesn't have any XP on it.

I think the voice is supposed to be the priest guy you're following up on? Like they're trying to do some "following in his footsteps" deal, but really halfassedly. You can bring additional silenced ammo in lieu of grenades/mines as one of the equipment choices, though I think it caps out at 2 packets/20 shots. To see what you need to do for the upgrades, bring up the equipment wheel and hover over the respective weapon, after a few seconds it should tell you what you need to do to unlock each one. It's probably something like grenade or liver shots.

Ah, thanks.The mission select screen has a bunch of floating tooltips pop up when you're picking inventory so I never knew where to find out what fills up the upgrade meter. Yeah, I used up two inventory slots for more suppressed rifle ammo and it's still have the regular ammo's max limit.

I just started playing Axiom Verge, and it's pretty good so far; I like the environments, it's got good gameplay, and some of the power ups are neat (I just got the lab coat that lets you phase through solid objects), but is there any sort of armor or damage mitigation? I've grabbed three health increases so far and it still seems like I'm taking a ton of damage per hit. Even then, that's not really dragging it down. That's basically my only complaint so far.

The upgraded lab coats also add damage resistance, like in Zelda or Metroid, although I can't remember if the game ever tells you this.

"Well, since 90% of the players time in our game will be climbing up vertical surfaces, it only made sense that they be forced to alternate right and left trigger presses to climb up one arm length at a time in our game where the objective goal is to eventually climb to the moon" - Developers of Grow, shortly before being told they should consider also making the main chracter have exteremly imprecise controls in a pure platformer.

Dragon Age Inquisition's war room map being in two parts makes it really annoying to use. Absolutely nothing is gained from having to back into a menu to select the other half whenever you need to do something in the other country.

The thing I really hated about it is that you had to walk over to it to use it. It should have just been a menu you could access wherever, or at least have its own fast travel point.

I'm more confused with the fact that a suppressor is visibly on my rifle when I switch to Suppressed Ammo in the game. Like I get that the Suppressed Ammo is supposed to be subsonic, but there are DLC weapons with suppressors that make even Regular Ammo silent.

What is it with open world games like GTA and Watch Dogs having incredibly oppressive and obnoxious police systems? Why even have a game be open world if I can't gently caress around in it for two seconds without drowning in FBI agents that psychically track my position and spawn around every corner? Especially if I'm just trying to get from point A to B and I'm driving recklessly because it's a video game and then I slam into a cop, well, here's a five loving minute distraction while I waste my own time until I escape the cops so I can get on with the drat game. In Watch Dogs 2 it seems like the best way to escape the police is to drive over a steam vent and kill yourself with it because you respawn where you die without penalty... which really serves to just make cops an obnoxious fun-waster.

The new Breath of the Wild DLC introduces eight new pieces of armor, none of which you can upgrade. If they reduced the defense of the Phantom armor down to 4, and kept it not having a set bonus, i'd be just fine with being able to upgrade it (maybe not if it required dragon pieces though, gently caress that), but it really sucks that you can't at least have a fully upgraded set of Tingle's clothing.

I had this issue with Mercenaries 2. I didn't play 1 (which everyone seems to like more) so I don't know if it was similar, but there wasn't a single location you could go to outside your base (that I found) where you're not constantly being hounded by guys in jeeps with assault rifles. I never really got a sense for that game's world because I was always, always fending off attackers. Deified Data has a new favorite as of 20:20 on Jul 5, 2017 |
