Deceitful Penguin posted:I like the fact that when I tried to restart the game with the other girls included and not the real one they actually accounted for that and gave me poo poo for it, haha Are you being facetious about this with "gave me poo poo?" I deleted the best girlfriend and started a new game, and Sayori killed herself right away and I had to reinstall. Just wondering because there's so many little ways to see hidden content that you might have done something different from me and seen something else. Which is definitely a PYF little thing in this game.

Dewgy posted:I think AC1 had the best meta-plot out of all of them. The ancient aliens thing is a little goofy, but they handled it really well as being "someone in the past found some unknowable crazy technology poo poo" in the plot of it. The whole framing plot of AC is just bizarre in that it even exists. We didn't need some convoluted explanation for why violence existed in both Renaissance Italy and the Crusades. Those would have been pretty easy to accept without the Ancient Aliens or even Abstergo. You could have even kept all the crazy conspiracy stuff without them.

Morpheus posted:Someone mentioned AC3 being bad, which I knew, but my gf wants to play another AC game after enjoying Black Flag. Is Unity worth playing, or Syndicate? e: As for thread content, Evil Within 2 has an unlockable stealth move where you just lock on to an enemy to silently sprint towards them for a quick stealth kill and it feels SO GOOD every single time. Especially after the first game where the stealth was the slowest paced stealth I've ever seen. There's also an enemy type that doesn't die from a single stealth attack like most enemies, and I laughed my rear end off when I tried to corner stab one and the animation plays normally, but the enemy stays standing and the player character just looks at it in complete disbelief until freaking the gently caress out when it screams in your face smuh has a new favorite as of 17:10 on Oct 27, 2017 |

John Murdoch posted:AC2 still has the whole puppeteering control layout thing going on, so in that sense the controls aren't "fixed" though it's more of a hassle on PC in particular since the prompts are clearly made for a 360 controller. I think you have to be more specific about what you didn't like about the controls to get a clear answer though. Specifically I don't like anything about the controls  Did they cut down on the number of buttons I have to remember to press to not die? If the answer is no, they didn't fix it.

No the controls are terrible and insane but the games get progressively easier so it doesn't matter (they're just not good)

I mean the ladder was right there in front of me but no amount of button-mashing would get me out of the big drink. I'm sure there was a help option somewhere but that should absolutely not be necessary. (I quit, gave it one star, and went back to playing MGSV:TPP.)

I love when games with auto-save let you manual save anyway. Off the top of my head, Batman: Arkham Knight, Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey all have this option. I started to play games before autosaves were the norm and I still feel a bit anxious when I end the session without saving manually.  Batman gets additional props for telling you how many minutes ago your last autosave was.

I'm never sure when or if the game is saving and what triggers the autosave, since it doesn't do what most games do and have a little symbol that a loading screen tells you "this is the auto save symbol". Or maybe I just missed it.

Somfin posted:Holy ballsacks. Everyone who can stomach a jump scare or two in the service of some real bleak horror should play through Doki Doki Literature Club. I cannot put in words how clear and pure its message is. Okay, sorry to drag this back into the sunlight because we were basically done with it, but I need to make sure on this one. How bad are we talking on jumpscares? Because everything else mentioned in all this is extremely my jam, but I'm phenomenally bad at jumpscares. I can handle the bleak ongoing, unformed dread of surreal horror that DDLC appears to have going on from what I've watched of VoidBurger's streams of it (it's a vibe I've been trained to handle by Doctor Who), and I know from minor spoilers it leans into some takes on the medium that worked well in a certain other indie game I really liked (Undertale), but for whatever reason it's jumpscares that knock me away from the horror genre more than anything else.

Who What Now posted:This Doki Doki game looks like something I'd have to play when my wife is on a business trip so there's no chance of her seeing me play a game about anime high school girls. There is absolutely zero uncomfortable sexual tension in that way in DDLC. It will make you feel like a lot of things, but not a creep. eta: Also I would say the jump scare level is like... 1/10. There is a little bit of it but it’s used in the service of the overall tension and anxiety. RyokoTK has a new favorite as of 01:19 on Oct 28, 2017 |

Man, someone needs to take anime plots and apply them to a bunch of ripped shirtless dudes drawn like Greek statues. From this thread, there's a ton of money to be made using anime but making sure that everyone looks like Mike Haggar at the least instead.

I am okay with this only if we balance the scales by having, for every Anime Recast With Men, a macho action game except all the characters are women. For the guy about to suggest any fighting game, but probably Dead Or Alive: no, that's different. I want a Wartime Gritty Shootmans game but every character is a woman, with no change in story or dialog.

RyokoTK posted:Also isn’t that Dream Daddy Simulator? Yeah that's Dream Daddy. Which is also an excellent game. Just doesn't get quite as meta as Doki Doki Lit. It still does have a section where you and another dad brag about your daughter's achievements and the game renders it as a Pokemon battle.

I'll tell you what's not a "little thing" in games: the bodacious behinds of the babes of Overwatch! Even over a year after its release, fans are still talking about wanting to have sex with the "Overwatch", a team of women that shoot robots in a setting that's half hip hop and half Star Wars. Darth Vader, watch out! Tracy, May, and the robot known only as D.I.V.A. might be "on your six" ... like the fans are on theirs! Back to you, Brian.

Cleretic posted:Okay, sorry to drag this back into the sunlight because we were basically done with it, but I need to make sure on this one. I'd put it at a solid 2/10 on jumpscariness, but I'm a total wimp. Most of the time you're either prepped for it or you'll have been prepped for it by the rhythm of the game up until that point (what I'm saying won't make sense until after the shoe drops, you'll get what I'm getting at). It's much more an overwhelming sense of ongoing dread that the little moments of something going suddenly and violently wrong bring into sudden relief. There's exactly one moment that is definitely and inarguably a jump scare but you get prepped for that one hard, and it's not a screamer-type thing, and it is apparently optional- only if you take the bait that the game is laying out for you. I played through the whole drat thing at 2 am and, while I was pretty tempted to shut it off at a couple places, I powered through and it was worth it. Also, once it's over, it's over. There's a very real and clear finale to the whole thing. Once the credits roll, the story's done.

We've received some viewer feedback on our Tech Talk segment on the popular computer game program, Over Watch. Brenda? Thanks, Brian. What I meant to say was, there are women in the game with gigantic asses. I believe that's the style at this time. Brian? It sure is, but you don't need me to Oh stop it Is this a private party or can Speaking of watching over That's Overwatch, Brian. Here's our own "over watcher," Brad, with the regional forecast. Brad? Ha ha well after seeing the watchover gals strut their stuff against the android army, I wouldn't say there's any danger of cold fronts coming in from the south! Ha ha but overnight lows are looking at about 48 so come on, bring your pets in.
