basic hitler posted:Act 1 is really lame and it takes incredible patience to master the combat and get to a point in the story where you're not constantly rolling your eyes at diaglogue or cliche fantasy plotting. I tried to play it with a friend, with neither of us having any solo experience whatsoever. We we're doing ok, but then the whole sequence in the pocket dimension going on about threads of fate or whatever just totally broke us.

D:OS2 actually has two DM-style systems, one which is very on-the-fly and works a lot like it would if you were running the game on a tabletop ("poo poo, you ignored the quest and went to the tavern instead? Okay, load up the tavern setting, add a few NPCs, and WHOA LOOK IT'S ON FIRE, WHAT NOW, PLAYERS?") and one which is really in-depth and allows you to create full campaigns like the main game/(Neverwinter Nights).

I do like the Shadow of mordor games as mindless fun but I do agree there's zero challenge at all. You can be half asleep and murder the entire orc army basically. There's just no challenge. But, it is still pretty fun to murder them for a few hours before it starts to get dull

one of my friends was really into Shadow of Mordor and played it a bunch but also sent me a bunch of videos of streamers playing it pretty much indefinitely while literally blindfolded so idk, probably fun but looks pretty dumb from the outside!

divinity seems cool cuz of the multiplayer but then you remember there's all these quests, elves, etc, that you just don't care about it and you never play it again

I haven't laughed at a video game in a long time. The last time was probably the South Park game where they made some dumbass joke. Divinity Original Sin 2's dialogue is pretty good and occasionally amusing, and that basically puts it at the top tier of video game writing.

dynasty warriors games have way more going for them than mordor its like, you fight a tough orc, and he's immune to being hit, so you stun him, and if he's immune to being stun, you vault stun him, and if you can't do that you shoot him in the head. But like, all of these things are equally easy to do and are all autopilot so it doesn't matter which of these moves I have to do. also its ridiculous to be both super speed and super stealthy but also a super murderer in combat. Like what's the point of anything. And people say the lootboxes don't matter but i guarantee i would have gotten a lot more legendary set items if they weren't there Caesar Saladin fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The Dennis System posted:How’s the combat in that game? It looks a little weird. Difficult, but it does work. It's basically all about trying to predict how many attacks you can chain before the enemy gets a chance to hit you back. Transitioning from attack to parry / dodge takes some time, but that is intentional, and you can also evade enemies with your jetpack. quote:https://forums.somethingawful.com/newreply.php?action=newreply&postid=477718925 Basically, if you try button mashing against a difficult enemy, he will just charge his special attack and kill you before you regain control of your character. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The Necromancer in Grim Dawn is better than the Necromancer in Diablo 3. Path of Exile's progression system that lets you end up with a useless character is a dumb system designed for idiots with no lives.

The Witcher Games are garbage because of bad controls and horrible combat. Yes the quests are good compared to some games but that takes up about 2% of the game, the rest is trying to maneuver around with all the finesse of an oil tanker and flailing at enemies with bad AI. Even Skyrim's melee combat was better because it may have been dull but at least you felt somewhat in control of what your character was doing. X-Com Apocalypse was the best X-Com game.

I wouldn't say the combat is horrible, I never really found it dragged the game down enough that I considered abandoning my playthrough because of it. But then i feel the same about Fallout New Vegas, whose combat is considered intolerable by most people who play it, so I guess I just have low standards in that area.

Destiny 2 is boring. It's basically everything I find wrong with big budget games. The graphics looked great but the guns felt like Fisher Price toys and none of the backstory was explained. The fact it's just grinding so you can do more grinding really turned me off. I got a refund after playing it for maybe 2 hours and believe I made the right decision. This was after friends of mine cummed their pants at how great it was and told me I was going to LOVE it.

The addition of realtime combat with weapons that have basically unlimited ammo let things get stupid fast, in the best way. It also has the interesting distinction of letting you basically declare war on human factions, and a solid earlygame had you raiding gang-controlled slums for expensive psi-drug things to sell for money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A57BS_Xjg5c  We Kicked Their rear end

lowwayman posted:I think Divinity: Original Sin is bad. There's way too much purple wall-of-text writing in that game, the story and quests are uninteresting and occassionally cliched and the jokes are almost always unfunny. In fact, I find the writing bad overall and remember disliking the dialogue you have with follower NPCs in particular. I've also never liked the cheery, colorful and unpractical art style reminiscent of WoW and the heavily abstracted, cooldown-based combat system, both of which Divinity does. The way you can mix elements and use the environment in combat is an okay gimmick I guess. I loving hated DOS 1, but I love DOS 2. The difficulty is better scaled, and I really dig the characters. Just into Act 2 and really enjoying it. The writing is SO MUCH better.

I got this garbage and I am slogging - repeat- slogging through this garbage story mode so I can play with my friends and do end game/pvp stuff. The dialogue is so bad. The story is so bad. The shooting feels okay but Killing Floor feels better. Hell. Killing Floor 2 feels better.

I don’t think it’s unpopular to say Bungie’s “story” chops are pure poo poo But to say the guns feel bad? My nigga you don’t know anything about FPSs Id actually like to know which games do it better because the gunplay in Destiny 2 is close to flawless

I loved DOS 1 generally. But there was a bit to much trial and error in terms of where you had to go. I.e. walk north and enemies were too high level, so reload and try west and so on.

Yes, the game where my character blindly flails at enemies who do not react at all is more controllable than the game where you actually get each move properly signaled and get visual feedback on the effects of your actions.
