Endorph posted:first act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like teachers sexually abusing kids this game is badass You're really hung up on Persona being about social issues when it is not and it never makes this argument. It constantly reinforces that these wunderkinds could live a stable life if not for the desires of greedy men who abuse their power. That's it. The drama that arises comes from this unknowable force acting in the shadows, disturbing the order everyone values until it's used to abuse them. The people in the game care more about stability than justice and that's the furthest P5 cares to comment on its world. I get it, you want more out of it, but you also infer things the game doesn't set up or care about.

Some of the collectibles have you sinking into the inky black void of the depths and I was like, “okay time to sink into the inky black void of th-no. Noo. Oh god no. No.” So that was a fun discovery to make.

Sakurazuka posted:Honestly while I generally like it my biggest problem with MonHun is how long everything takes, when I can slap something around for 30 minutes then still die and fail the mission I just feel like I'm wasting my time, more so than spending an hour on a Souls boss but getting like 12 attempts in that time, even though there's no difference really. There are a lot of frustrating aspects to MHW like having to actively fight against the whole dumb sheathing system and clunky controls that probably seem like godsends to people who have been playing MH for a decade but are still like a generation behind mechanically.

Yeah that's another thing, I've been playing for over 20 hours now and still gently caress up and press the wrong button because the controls are antithesis of every other game I've played. Also why doesn't O unsheathe like triangle, I'm pretty sure sheathed O doesn't actually do anything anyway.

Endorph posted:my point is that p5 itself cares more about stability than justice too tho. it brings up wage slavery and death by overworking only to basically brush them off. id be fine with the game not having those themes in it if it didnt bring them up, but since it brings them up i expect it to have a conclusion beyond 'maybe this is bad, i guess?' I just don’t know what you expect a fulfilling conclusion to be. The cast are kids, they can’t vote to change anything. Haru can’t actually touch her dads money, it’s a publicly traded company. Everyone is in way over their heads and treat their exploits as a game until someone dies. I don’t know what opinion needs to be espoused beyond “don’t be a dick” given the narrative constraints and once you get passed the setup they never shoot for a loftier message. Maybe it shouldn’t have started out so dark right out of the gate, but for real the evil adults are the spotlight not the failings of a society that everyone is otherwise excelling in.

If you haven't already try turning off auto-sheathe in the options menu so that you don't put away your weapon every time the monster gets more than two feet away from you.

The thing about Subnautica is I'd be absolutely terrified playing it if I knew anything in the game was capable of swallowing you whole. I'm fine with my character being torn to shreds, burned, poisoned, whatever. But being eaten alive is my worth nightmare and giant ocean monsters are common culprits of that in video games. Fortunately the things big enough to eat you in Subnautica like to chew their food.

Australia is listing Megaman X Collection 1 and 2 for 2018 so it seems like we're getting one good collection this year. Not with this exact wording, but same. I got to the 6th Palace and I’m disappointed with anything that Isn't the gameplay or the soundtrack.

I think I would’ve liked the P5 plot more had it stayed at a grounded scale. The bigger the threats got in the society the faster the plot started leaking all its gravitas.

In 110 hours I've never had a problem with my Hunter auto-sheathing. e: I have had problems finding the triggers to some of these HR villager request missions. I'm at HR43 and I know I'm missing like five missions.

Some weapons have it ten times harder or easier on some monsters and it helps to be able to use at least two pretty different ones to avoid getting stonewalled like that. Gunlance is perfect for diablos and probably would have given you a much easier time, every time he burrows or charges you can just put up your shield and it lets you explode his horns off

I like FF12. The fun is in setting up your gambits, it’s the kind of programming I can wrap my head around. Also the plot is about politics for the majority of it, which is cool and interesting (I find FF stories get pretty underwhelming when they turn into desperate fights against its version of Ultimate Death, and FF12 takes a while to get to that point). Shame about Vaan though, guy’s a dipshit who brings the game down

P5 became more and more outlandish and unrelatable as its scale increased until the final act, where it segfaulted and became almost as good as the first act a population quietly sitting and waiting for the end of civilization while resenting the audacity of people who even make a token effort to change things for the better was way more relatable than anything involving Shido, who pound for pound might have been one of the worst-written villains in 2017

Gambits would be good if you had to change them more then like five times in the whole game, 100% of the story and 75% of the optional hunts and bosses can be done with the exact same generally useful for everything set up.

You use O for a bunch of gunlance stuff like reloading/shooting gunlance shells and there are attacks that use multiple buttons like on gunlance triangle + circle is a rising slash/R1/O/triangle is wyvern fire etc I don't remember if other weapons have triangle + circle attacks but I thought pretty much all of them did idk

I like that you kinda build up how robust your setup is over the course of game, slotting in new gambits as you find new abilities or encounter more dangerous enemy behavior (like when your whole team gets "stopped" and you think huh I should have someone ready to throw chronos tears) but you're right in that there are a million super granular gambits of which many are never useful.
