Woah I forgot about the video game chat threads. Hello again everyone. Recently I realized that my Samus edition New 3DS isn't getting enough use after buying it on launch day last-ish year I decided to drop some money on a few Virtual Console games I've never played before. Wario Land 2 is really good and has an absurd amount of content and features for a GBC platformer. drat.

I literally just started Vampyr and already the dialogue is... oof. The Life is Strange hella teen dialog felt more natural than this. This is a nightmare!! This can't be happening! What have I done?? *picks up a machette* Now I can defend myself! *kills a guy* I'm sorry... BUT YOU LEFT ME NO CHOICE. There's also a horrible poem that starts off the game. This poo poo is already starting off way too serious

It should be known that there are two major teams at Dontnod and Vampyr was developed by Team Remember Me, not Life is Strange.

Did you just really post Knack isn’t a good game? NO poo poo.  It’s one of those unfunny memes the ps4 thread ran into the ground. I rather have that stupid Bad rats meme than that garbage.Friend of mines bought Vampyr so it looks cool. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Jun 5, 2018 |

I think my TV is too small or something to play Witcher 3 because I can't read anything unless I sit like 4 feet from it  If there was some way to increase the subtitle size and like enemy names/displayed level it'd be fine. Conversation text isn't too bad.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft a lot, making my way through the recent expansion (that turned out to be over two years old but whatever). The solo content is pretty fantastic, they give you lots of freedom with this new scaling system they got going. But I have to complain about the people: my most recent MMORPG experience was Final Fantasy XIV, where maybe one in a hundred players are assholes, but here in WoW it might be closer to one in ten. Maybe they’re just super blasé by what must be very old content for them, but man, you’d think they’d at least respond to my hellos in dungeons. As soon as I zone in, I say hi, I say it’s my first time doing this dungeon, and nine times out of ten I get silence, followed by the damage dealers running ahead of me (I’m a tank) and engaging enemies on their own. It’s not like they’re being dumb and suicidal, I mean it seems like people vastly outgear the content, but it’s kinda miserable for me and I don’t enjoy it. And yeah, casual racism and sexism in public chat. I turned that off real quick. Anyway. I’m home sick today so I’ll be playing more I think

This fucker says his thoughts out loud with every action you do, and it's all awful.  Detroit is cliche as hell, but this feels worse in that regard. Like just imagine someone saying the dialogue in this game while doing that dramatic head to forhead swooning gesture  edit:

From what I've read so far the game can range from ok to great depending how much you dig the setting and how much you're willing to overlook some flaws. There's a great review collection post on reddit here https://redd.it/8olgvd.

And let me just say, I'm pretty apologetic of cliches and tropes. I enjoy plenty of tropes and cliche one liners. Point me to a story where the two leads hate each other but throughout the story fall in love, I am all over that overused poo poo. And I am ALL about Hank's character in Detroit. Something about this though is TOO MUCH, on top of being way too loving serious. edit: And I'm barely that far into the game either! The game just bombards you with this kind of thing SO QUICKLY edit: I got an interaction thing for a rat, and I picked up the rat and ate it and then he out loud goes "this is DESPICABLE".

Jay Rust posted:I’ve been playing World of Warcraft a lot, making my way through the recent expansion (that turned out to be over two years old but whatever). I came back to WoW after like 5 years of a break and it is massively improved and has some great QoL stuff now. The playerbase are indeed still 50/50 assholes vs. cool people. I'm maining a mage and i got kicked out of an instance last night because i missed a request in the chat for me to spawn a refreshment table. As in, we finished one pack of mobs, the guy asked me to spawn the table but the tank pulled another mob so i just started fighting. The second the fight ended i was booted from the group and the healer whispered me with the usual "WTF n00b!?!?!" poo poo. Had another one this morning where the tank and healer started arguing over a hosed up pull that we survived fairly easily. The healer then decided to stop healing the tank in the middle of the next boss fight so we wiped and then the tank ragequit and messaged us all to tell us how poo poo we were. Most of the time groups are fine but it is nowhere near being like ff14 where everyone is chill and helpful.

The graphics are worse, the story is worse, the location is worse, the music is worse and the community is so very much worse. It's mind-boggling that the 2nd most popular MMORPG has an almost universally nice and helpful community but here it is and it exists (I still haven't played FF14 in months but that's mainly raid burnout)

I used to play a tank and when pubbies would scream ahead of me or try to chain pull poo poo, I'd just kindly ask them not to. If they did it again, I just let them get clobbered because it's not worth the extra effort to run and save them Usually this led to a meltdown or a rage quit, but like, I'd rather go slightly slower and not die than rush forward and try to handle 4 packs because the rogue or whatever has a terminal case of GOTTA GO FAST

It's mind-boggling that the 2nd most popular MMORPG has an almost universally nice and helpful community but here it is and it exists I can’t argue with any of that. But as I’m playing WoW, I’m appreciating all the things it does better, too: questing as a whole, how you get to keep your abilities when queuing up for old dungeons thanks to the scaling tech, the fact that you can actually move your items in your bags around while talking to a merchant... And I’m sure when I start playing FFXIV again in like six months, I’ll remember to appreciate all of the things you mentioned, too. I probably like them both equally

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Clicked. I hope this pans out, thanks! One of the reasons I played Knack was it's been sitting on my hard drive and it's so god damned big but I didn't want to delete before beating it. Also, I know Knack was supposed to be bad and I didn't play it believing it would be good but it is just kind of amazing just how bad it is. As I said, the way it manages to be bad instead of mediocre feels like a mistake.

Knack is the most bizarrely bland character. He has no personality traits whatsoever other than being kind of vaguely cocky. He's still better than most of the other characters in the game who do have personality traits but they're half assed and irritating.

My favorite thing about the Knack series is whenever you clear an area, no matter how much climbing or fighting or acrobatics or phase-shifting you had to do to get past it, your human companions just stroll up behind you like it was no big deal. And then yeah they say "Great job Knack"

Phantasium posted:Knack's filesize should only ever be displayed in blocks. I miss when each console had a visually distinct storage system and sometimes developers would get really creative with the file logo/model for their game on your PS2 memory card. It used up resources yes, but it was a lost art when they couldn't do it anymore.
