I don't want to play Starcraft or some poo poo on my TV. I just want to be able to do point n'click based poo poo.

mind the walrus posted:This was the impression I got. I always see footage of people with ballin' weapons and the skill to fight cooler monsters, while I'm stuck grinding on skeletons and my coolest weapon is a scimitar. I'm sure variety gets there eventually but like hell I have the time for it. So the reason it gets good is not because the equipment gets better, it's because that's how long it takes to actually get good at the game, and the fun of the game is overcoming impossibly difficult odds and genuinely worrying (won't be hyperbolic and say terrifying) game mechanics (you never really know if it's just about to Dick you over massively and waste all the time you've put in). So there just comes a point where all of a sudden you feel like an incredible badass, because you can beat all the bastards who've been drubbing you so far, and you KNOW that if you started again from scratch, you could just as easily beat them, without the new armor / weapons, because you've gotten more skillful. And then you actively look forward to the next mega-bastard, exploring becomes exciting instead of crushingly depressing, because you know you can probably overcome it, but it's still exciting because you don't know just how high the next bar they're gonna make you clear will be. The character doesn't level up, you do, and that feels really rewarding. But, is also kinda super lame. I entirely understand people hating it, it's definitely not for everyone. Edit: Darkoni posted:Hot take on Souls games: "Get Good" is actually the best advice anyone can give you. Yeah, basically this. "Git Gud" is like the dark souls motto, but it's not the sentiment you normally get for games of like "you suck". It's more like a reminder that there isn't any secret 'trick' or 'gimmick' that you're missing. !Klams fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Jul 10, 2017 |

Left 4 Dead 2 is one of the top 3 best FPS games of the last decade. If the multiplayer could be balanced a bit more, it'd be number 1.

I actually like the Steam Controller. I can see that coming up with workable configs is going to be a bitch but when it's working it's working well. Now I can play point and click much better on the couch. For some reason half of my 2D games are showing massive slowdown, which is pissing me off more than anything with the controller.

I think anyone excusing Witcher 3's poo poo combat system with "but the story!" secretly knows the game sucks and is trying to justify wasting their money.

WAY TO GO WAMPA!! posted:What're people's issues with the combat? I've been playing it for the last week or so and it's not great, but it's not straight awful or anything, though I definitely don't have super high standards Yeah, on top of the amazing writing, it has combat that is tolerably mediocre. This should, frankly, be a huge selling point to all the people who are used to completely unplayably bad combat in elder scrolls games. It's just.. still not dark souls.

Yeah it's funny that Witcher catches so much flak for it's combat when nobody disputes that Elder Scrolls, one of the most popular RPG franchises in existence, has had much worse combat in every single iteration of the franchise.

The combat in the Witcher is fine, so long as you never take a break longer than like two days and try to pick it up again. There is a mod called wildcat that makes Skyrim combat better.

Elder Scrolls combat may be clunky but at least it's intuitive. Meanwhile the Witcher is the opposite.
