veni veni veni posted:Anyone yearning for RE4 should check out evil within 2, regardless of how you felt about the first game. 2 is pretty much RE4 via 2017. So the second one is actually good? People were calling Evil Within the modern RE4 and it sucked poo poo.

The flooded lake sidequest in Frozen Wilds is real good. Really enjoying this DLC so far.

A remake of GTA3 would be the best thing, not because of updated controls, but because of updated things to do. Little me was more addicted to GTA3 than I have ever been to any other game in my life but by the standards of today, there's not much to do. Liberty City Stories kinda gave us the GTA3 experience but with more options. Sadly it sucks so I don't count it. And I've never played Evil Within but people on here have said it's a David Cage game done right. But now it's the new RE4, too? How can it be two totally dissimilar things? edit: I'm dumb.

The Evil Within is nothing like a David Cage game. Maybe you're thinking of Until Dawn.

I'm really excited for Horizon 2. Frozen Wilds has really awesome snow tech that doesn't extend to the main game and all the facial animations are really good in this DLC. No weird lip syncing here. It also ties the old world stuff and its themes to current day activities pretty well. Applying all this to the next game among other improvements that come with sequels, it's going to be something special.

Evil Within 2 is a dramatic improvement over 1 in almost every way and requires you to know almost nothing from the first game that you can't infer from like an hour into 2.

I know this thread likes the interactive story games of Until Dawn and such, so I thought you all might find this interview from Extremely Talented Director and Cool Guy Steven Soderbergh about his narrative-focused "not a video game" app called Mosaic interesting. http://www.vulture.com/2017/11/steven-soderbergh-interview-mosaic.html

Guillermus posted:Same, I loved Vice City and spent a lot of time just driving around with the rock radio looking for good jumps. After that I can say that I spent like 4/5 hours in San Andreas, like 6 on GTA IV and still have to play GTA V. Saints Row II is the one I played the most, followed by SR3. This is me, except I've had a chip on my shoulder about open-world sandbox games with minimaps ever since I put down San Andreas all those years ago. I completely missed the Assassin's Creed bandwagon (thankfully), never got into Elder Scrolls (thankfully) and couldn't even bring myself to play through Red Dead Redemption (too bad, actually). The last sandbox game I finished was Mirror's Edge: Catalyst...and that's probably due to the fun in that game being entirely based on traversal of territory. I've even stalled out on Horizon; gently caress, I need to finish it. I always stall out on these games, like clockwork. I think games built around minimap questlines absolutely ruin the experience for me. Meanwhile, I've put hundreds of hours each into Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Persona, not to mention Titanfall.

kinda confused on the Frozen Wilds should I just expect 6 hours of side quests or is it a proper Horizon ZD 1.5. I let my friend borrow my copy a while ago but I did get the DLC, excited to play it. No spoilers pls

No spoilers pls It's a side plot to the main story, it hooks into it here and there but it's concurrent with all the events from the original game and isn't a continuation from the end.

I can't remember how long it took me, but maybe 8h of mostly doing main quests? Here is what I wrote on the HZD thread: ufarn posted:Managed to finish it. I got completely poo poo on in the beginning, and I still don't know what happened. I think I'm just completely out of practice. Just playing it on Hard. ufarn posted:It's possible the DLC may also have suffered from the fact that it doesn't - canonically - take place strictly after the original main story, so the extent to which they could expand on and continue some of the main beats there were probably pretty limited. A lot of love has gone into the side quests, and just about each of them has great characters and a lot of neat ethics and social commentary. But as far as taking the series further, that's not really what the DLC is. It's a pretty neat game to drop in with if you want to kill some time and just do side quests, and it never feels like a grind - just like the base game didn't. But you shouldn't be in a rush to get your game back to "find out more".

The Frozen Wilds is basically Guerrilla becoming more comfortable with all the systems already present in HZD and should get you hype AF for Horizon 2: One Noon.

Oh huh, the new bows in the DLC actually DO do more damage when holding back the bowstring. edit: the writing is still as all over the place as ever. Some guy was talking about metal birds and Aloy's response sounded like "yeah whatever buddy, metal birds lol". Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Nov 9, 2017 |

I also had some weird sub-30 FPS drops in HZD a few times. Only during cutscenes I think. Must have been something about the snow rendering.

I did notice some frame dropping in the new area due to all the heavy weather effects but I think the 1.41 update that went in this morning improved performance some, make sure you've downloaded that.

It must have been hard to write for this DLC, not knowing whether Aloy or the player know about the fate of the old world yet. Or is it only accessible after you do? I'm playing it post-game.

It's accessible at any time - there might be a level check - and seems to take the form of a pure side story that doesn't address the main plot at all.

It addresses the plot a little bit, but for like a total of a minute. You can basically visit the DLC area as soon as you can leave the starting area (Seeker quest) IIRC.

The sidequest with the Banuk outcasts trying to come up with a cool tribe name was really funny, good use of flashpoints at the end. I wanted them to keep The Burning Turkeys!! though.

Guys. Assassins Creed: Hippos is.......really fun?! I don't know what to believe anymore. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly, but between the setting, the combat, the looting or the loving around in tombs, it's just a really fun, chill game.
