I made fun of him mercilessly.

But my problem was just getting really lost and not knowing how to get out of places. I'm really bad at directions and it was like, my second PS4 game and I don't really do FPSes a lot so I didn't really think it was the game itself. But I have a bad habit of rationalizing things anyway.

Playing the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy is reminding me just how infuriatingly pointless the lives system is. Yes, I will sit here, dying to the same loving falling board thanks to the loving misplaced upside-down turtle on that stupid forced perspective bridge, again and again and again and again, and thanks to the Dark Souls games, I will like it because I've learned to internalize that loving victory screen as a great triumph all over again. But I will hate this game with the fury of a thousand dying Suns every single time that stupid loving tiki mask zooms out of the black and laughs "game over" in my face, wasting my time for an extra two minutes as I sigh and reload that save file with 37 lives again (because fuuuuuuuuck trying to beat that level with only five). You can really tell that this game was made back during the design philosophy of "bilk the gently caress out of every quarter that stupid loving gamer has." I'm goddamn glad that we've left that particular gimmick in the past.

A lot of times you run around shooting Nazis, glance down and are on like 5 hp without noticing. You have to keep checking your health way more often than in most games. Also don't forget that you can wield two weapons. A lot of fights get a whole lot easier when you can fire a shotgun and an assault rifle at the same time. Its all worth it for the glorious completely batshit insane story though!

Wolfenstein 2 has a near perfect inverted difficulty curve. It's got to be intentional, but I have no idea why.

I got up to the courthouse sequence before I just decided "gently caress this game" and turned it down to easy so I could finish the story. Which is ironic considering that is pretty much right before the game gets massively easier.

To be honest, a lot of the criticisms I've heard about TNC (in short, passable gameplay, but amazing storytelling) are how I'd describe my experience with the first game. Just with maybe a few less random splats.

Nothing about TNC was amazing to me. The good parts are merely decent and don't excel at anything and a lot of it is quite bad. Which averages out to "mediocre and not worth the time." I understand not playing the first game probably made the story and characters a lot more flat for me, but it definitely didn't change anything about the gameplay. which is bad

man you know what sucks? when a long-rear end game only lets you choose difficulty right at the start playing kingdom hearts 1 on its hard mode and 10 hours in i really want to just drop it to normal so i can finish it and get to the rest of the series faster instead of getting stuck at every boss but i'm sure as poo poo not starting over and redoing all that content i already did on normal

KH also had some weird difficulty choices. You can play Normal, begin the game on Easy but switch to Hard when you get to a certain level(30?) or begin on Hard and switch to Easy when you get to the same level. Like, why wouldn't you choose Normal? Why would you gamble that you can handle a sudden difficulty change in the middle of the game or that you can handle getting plowed right at the start?

I liked the Outlast games but eventually got tired of never being able to fight back, even on a rudimentary level, so that dragged those games down for me. Had some spare time this weekend to finally delve back into Witcher 3 and I'm officially done with it now. Just over it. I know people love this game and I can honestly see why. I keep wanting to and thinking I will eventually. The graphics, the world and the story are incredible. There's a lot to like about it but I am totally over constantly having to exit the game and navigate the sub menus. Plus spinning Geralt around to pick poo poo up/loot, beating my head against the wall figuring out which of the 2000 items I have that I should keep, running back to town to repair my poo poo and fussing with the camera whenever I fight. I swear to god, a quick map, a few more potion/oil hot slots and a little tightening of the controls would have helped this game a lot. The controls are very slippery and janky. I'd like to see them incorporate more of an Arkham feel for the combat and dial down the inventory management. I think a movie would be more fun than the game so actually so looking forward to the Netflix thing but the game is just not for me.

That's not a difficulty setting, not exactly. It's deciding your XP curve. Either start leveling slower in the early game and speed it up later, the reverse or an even progression throughout. However no matter what you pick the XP to 99 will be the same. Yes it's super obtuse and doesnt make any sense for a first time playthrough.

Yeah all 3 of them. There's an invisible point counter, the top response is 1 pt, middle is 2 points and bottom is 3 pts. Then it averages them out and gives you some cryptic bullshit. I love the series but the intro to 1 is so drat weird.

He sucks the fun out of every encounter he's in, and in one such encounter, there are two of him. It was awful.

I'm way behind the times, but Mad Max was on sale on Steam this weekend and I've been chewing through it since I'm at home sick. I wish I knew what the thought process was around the minefield objectives, because I 100% don't understand why they're in the game. You have to totally break the flow of the game (which is otherwise really fluid and dynamic, hopping between looting and objectives) to swap your car, drive back out to where you were, and play chocobo hot and cold around an empty field, except the determination of how 'hot' you're getting is the same dog yelping sound loop played on repeat. I'm having a tonne of fun with the game otherwise but these sections are just so loving off the mark, it's crazy.

It's probably some form of leftover feature which for whatever reason was left in. Like you mentioned, the game plays just fine and feels slick. Towards the latter part of the game the "CONTENT MISSING, SKIPPING AHEAD"-parts start to show, however. For example the story simply seems to skip one area almost completely, and there are number of other game features which are broken, unnecessary or put together with scotch tape and bubblegum from placeholder items. But the parts that work are awesome, and the game is definitely fun regardless of the lack of polishing.

My basic rule of thumb with Mad Max was that if it doesn't sound fun, don't do it. Also, fully upgrading the car is tempting but after a certain point any noticeable improvements dwindle off. Stick to the main plot and the awesome convoy missions and the game is pretty good.

I think you can just facetank your way through the minefields by doing donuts in them and repairing your car as needed. You miss out on whatever resource disarming gets you (ammo, I think?) but it’ll count as cleared if you set off all the mines.

Now that I think of it, my guess is that the minefields were left in so that the player would have something to do with the dog in the final released version.

The dog looks straight at where the mines are as you get a little closer, it’s not just a series of barks. Even with that being said though, the minefields seem like something that got put in because it was in the design doc and left in because they weren’t literally unplayably broken. They’re pretty dumb.
