FactsAreUseless posted:Do you think Crash Bandicoot was in arcades? I know im late on responding, but no, I'm well aware it was a PS1 original. That being said, just because it wasn't an arcade game doesn't mean that arcade game design influences hadn't really died out yet. After all, given that this was still the era of Blockbuster, there was still an incentive to padding out game difficulty as much as possible to get players to re-rent them. And wasting your time reloading the game after an arbitrary number of lost lives is one of those core gameplay-extending arcade mechanics. I'd argue that it's still a legitimate Thing Dragging This Game Down complaint. That said, I'll acknowledge the mockery for my Dark Souls riff and shut up. This isn't exactly a hill I'd like to die on.

Qwertycoatl posted:The shittiest boss ever is still waiting for you later in the game I'm afraid. I beat the game, and while I died more to a couple later bosses, I'd still say the vampire swarm is worse. That's because even if you do the swarm alright it still takes ages, while if you die to the other badly-difficult bosses it's still fast enough that dying to the final boss 5 times and beating him after that still took less time than dying once to vampire and then beating it. But generally, the boss design in the game is sooo bad. There's only one boss that I'd say at least had an interesting gimmick (the two heads), the rest were just bad whether easy or hard. It's amazing how far Falcom have come since then. Note that I played on Normal and don't tend to play any Ys games on anything higher.

RBA Starblade posted:Mad Max is astoundingly boring for what should be a surefire hit Rage 2 is by the same studio and it looks like Mad Max only actually fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rQMytyBFeA e. One thing that really annoyed me about Mad Max was that they obviously invested so much in the game being a po-faced grim setting about humanity barely eking by but despite going to the trouble of having things like a fuel system for vehicles and the control system being built around your shotgun being a super weapon in melee combat rather than the game being a shooter there's no real actual scarcity or sense of survival. Like there's plenty of visual flavor with you eating dog food and maggots off of corpses to recover your health and helping the different settlements cobble together basic survival tools out of scrap but in the actual gameplay you basically have infinite resources that you can top off at any stronghold whenever you want. They should have either made it a full blown survival/resource management game or gone in the other direction and made the melee combat be actually fluid and responsive and fun to match the car combat instead of being an awkward hybrid that doesn't really please anyone and doesn't have enough depth to sustain the game.

Dewgy posted:“Man, you know what would make this open world action game better? Constant resource management.” said no one, ever Open world survival games have been one of the most popular PC gaming genres for years and are only just now being dethroned by battle royale games. Also Mad Max is a game where people unironically defend the lovely clunky knockoff Arkham combat on the grounds that when Max takes damage despite the fact that you hit the dodge button it's actually very cool because it shows that Max is a brawler struggling to survive and not a highly trained fighter. May as well make the actual game support that narrative.

To be fair, Max only takes damage if you hit the dodge button without the EBA-like rhythm. Not saying it's better than the actual Arkham where you can just press it and Batman will magic his way into a counter, but it's an actual mechanic.

Until people brought it up here again, the only thing I knew about the Mad Max game was people thought it was neat that Max wasn't flipping over people's heads like Captain America or Batman or Rafiki.

Yeah I actually really like Max's fighting style being mostly big clumsy smashes to the head. Downside: The thunderpoon is basically the only weapon you use in your car once you get it and the longshot is loving useless

I rode horses for many years and tapping the horse once will NOT get it to gallop. It’ll get the horse to walk slowly, if you tap it again it’s gonna trot and you wanna get out of that to a canter, and two slows and then a quick/hard tap gets horse to gallop. There’s also a very specific timing that you have to do your tapping. Yes I spent way too much time with horses as a kid. Anyways, just like the title “even food and water bother us”, I am being nit picky about how they incorrectly show how riding horses work. This is such a stupid nit picky thing omg.

With what you describe being the standard control scheme that trainers in your part of the world train horses in.

In Shadow of the Colossus your horse Agro responds a bit more like an actual animal would. He takes a while to spring into a full gallop, gets spooked or slows down near obstructions, and has his own pathfinding so that you don't need to constantly guide him with the left stick or mash triangle. Many people find it frustrating that the horse in SotC does not control like a ferrari.

Witcher 3's combat suffers from being too dull on easy and normal, too hard at the beginning of Death March, and too lacking in diversity to sustain its 130-hour playtime. Dodging doesn't have any i-frames and unlike Souls Geralt's moves can't be predicted in combat because he automatically faces the closest enemy.

I like it when dodges don't have i-frames. It means that encounters aren't based around being forced to dodge through enemy attacks, which is counterintuitive at best, nor does it mean being forced to learn where the i-frames are. Instead you learn the enemy's attacks and stay outside of them, keeping your distance while striking when you can. Playing on Death March starts out really frustrating, but as you get some armor and moves, becomes much better since you don't have to spawn quen just to survive a hit. The auto-facing enemies can be a pain though.
