It's cool from that perspective but like, you don't actually want to play it. don't forget the pixilated boobies. that was reason enough for 12 year old me to play it

mind the walrus posted:I don't know. The Witcher makes way more sense from a role-playing perspective. It just happens that role-playing realistically kind-of sucks if you aren't grooving on that frequency, which involves a lot of effort and knowledge of how to work the various game systems. Oh, I didn't know that real sword-wielding involved keyboards and mice.

VideoTapir posted:Oh, I didn't know that real sword-wielding involved keyboards and mice. I was referring to the combination of sword swinging, acrobatics, potion use, trap use, oil use, and limited magic spells in-tandem. You're fighting like you're a monster-hunter, not as a generic shell with modifiers that mark you as strong/fast/magic-using/etc. The problem is that fighting like a monster hunter is hard, time-consuming work without a ton of flourish and can easily backfire, so it gets old more quickly than Elder Scrolls combat which can be generic, but you can be stoned out of your gourd and still perform blindfolded.

mind the walrus posted:Early Access has made me so wary of anything that claims to be Metroidvania. They always always forget to make the engine something fun to play in. Yeah, me and a friend were making a kind of civil war themed metroidvania but couldn't get movement to feel fun despite some super rad animations, so we packed it in. Just felt like, no matter how clever the game, if moving around isn't fun then everything else will be a chore.

I think his point was more like, "if you find the combat soooo unbearable you can basically skip it by choosing easy", which is true and the game is still worth playing. I didn't hate it that much but I'm very much in favor of not doing poo poo in games that you hate. (if I could have skipped having an inventory I would have, the menus are the real atrocity.)

Yeah. personally if you don't play at least on blood and broken bones you're a bitch but tbh death march is how it should be played. if you're whining about combat it's easy to basically skip though

The Sims Medievel is a great game. It has some bugs and is clearly not finished even with the expansion but the base game of performing quests while living the various daily lives of the townsfolk is more fun than it should be. It's even super hosed up when you realize you can duel random townsfolk to the death for their money or send them to the stocks to be eaten by the tentacle monster in the pit.

The Sims was never anything more than Dungeon Keeper without combat and magic spells. gently caress the Sims and gently caress EA. Not sure if this is a thread-appropriate post, but we seem to be playing fast and loose anyhow.

Playing with randoms, or strangers on the internet you have tenuous connections to (goons) works for games like eve online maybe, but it makes these game masochism/pain simulators and every single buddy I used to play dota with gets visibly angry, me included, if anyone is dumb enough to suggest playing it, because we all learned to hate it THAT much over the years.

I think I'm done with Souls games. Over the years, I've played Dark Souls 1, DS2, Bloodborne, and Demon's Souls. I've enjoyed them all, but I don't ever want to play a Souls game again. Still interested in what From Soft does next.
