The camera controls in Majora’s Mask have not aged well at all. The 2nd “stick” on the new 3ds helps but it’s not a total solution. Also there are way too many mini games in MM. Some of them are ridiculously hard.

ShootaBoy posted:You absolutely can tell them to hang on a second, leave the town, and check the map. Unless you outright say no to a contract, it stays around for a few days. Yeah the contract won't put a marker on the map until you accept it but you can check the contract text and generally back out to see if the destination is anywhere nearby.

Olive! posted:Don't worry, the third doesn't control any better. I tried to jump up a hill, hit the slope and rolled backwards up a near vertical mountain, launched gerald over a twenty foot wall and landed in an area I shouldn't have been able to get to yet. This game doesn't physics good. Then five minutes later I stumbled over a two foot drop and died from fall damage.

I want to like Six Ages except combat makes absolutely no sense and I'm tired of losing every single one. I have a heroic combat guy on my clan ring but that apparently means nothing.

NRS is staffed by fun people who get to make the games they wanna make, while Capcom is still ruled by old japanese suits. Ed Boon still wants to make crazy martial arts action stories, so he does, that's pretty much the short of MK's story design.

Digirat posted:Even if you hate the combat, witcher 3 is worth turning the difficulty down to easy and just cruising through it so you can experience the story/writing/characters/setting, since witcher 3 is the first game in the series where that stuff is good enough to carry it on their own I finally gave up on W3 in part because of the controls but mainly the constant need to navigate the submenus and that stare at that mini map. I just wanted to check out the really beautiful world they built. Funniest thing about the controls is that the combat was the least of its problems. Looting and searching or just walking around were way too slippery.

Honestly most of MM's mini games are just bad and I can't think of a single one I genuinely enjoy and don't dread having to divert the fun parts of the game to suffer through in one form or another. Goron Racing is probably the "best" of them until you have to deal with its rubber banding AI.

glad she is dead posted:Street Fighter has gay and trans characters: Hugo and Poison. I'm pretty sure that yes, Zangief is gay. Anyway, enemies in witcher 3 move too loving much. I know that sounds a lot like "I wish things would stand still" but hear me out. I start hitting something. Whether it's a drowner or a wyvern, and unless I outlevel it to the point where it dies in three hits, the loving thing has so much HP it takes like a minute of solid smacking and three menus worth of clicking to kill. The whole time, between the various hit animations, dodge animations and the fact that any time you hit something it just kind of slowly slides around, I wind up like fifty miles away from my starting point. These enemies aren't that hard when they aren't just instantly killing me. I can dodge really well because the dodge in this game is great and most enemies have no range, it's just that high level enemies really do either instantly kill you, or do like 2% of your health bar if you're within reasonable level frame for the same attack. But everything has so much HP that I can start on one side of an island, start smashing a high level drowner, and wind up on the complete other end by the time its dead and have completely de-aggro'd its twenty mates without ever stopping hitting it. Who thinks this combat is fun or good?

I'm not gonna go up to bat for W3's combat, but I think you're just fighting enemies that are a much higher level. Even the toughest enemies (that are of a similar level) shouldn't take that long. Yeah sometimes you gotta chase a fucker around for a bit or they dodge your attacks and that can get tedious. Maybe you're playing on a higher difficulty, in which case, why?

Len posted:I'm phone posting but there's a Nier subquest flowchart that's something like "if it's out of the way don't do it" it more or less applies to Automata There are two sidequests in Automata that aren't worth it, one's a race and the other is filling a bestiary and relies on random rare spawns. Everything else is doable quite comfortably even if it means cheesing it during your second or third playthrough, but this is a game where you can buy achievements in an in-game shop.

Man what is it about Xbox One people where the will not accept “i have no interest in the system because it has no exclusives worth getting” as a reason to not get one? I either get a lecture that PS4 is poo poo because you have to pay for multiplayer now or “xbox will never have exclusives again now theyre just windows exclusives”. When Xbox gets something like Uncharted/Persona/God of War/Horizon I’ll think about it. But until then why?

Microsoft’s strongest marketing push this gen was all about the Xbox brand, so it kind of follows that the people who bought in are the ones it all worked on. Plus I think a ton of people this gen jumped ship from 360 to PS4, so the Sony diehards are happy and the people who never really cared all grabbed PlayStations.

The BoneX is genuinely a really good system especially if you have a 4K screen and/or don't care about PC gaming, but the exclusive games just aren't there (aside from Forza and Gears, which... well, I like Forza and all, but those games don't exactly sell systems at this point). Microsoft is at least trying to focus on games again, generally have the best (console) versions of multiformat games on the X and also have a great thing going with the backwards compatibility program for OG Xbox and 360 games, but the problem is that they spent most of this generation ignoring their first-party development. Now they're stuck playing catchup, since it obviously takes time to build up a library of quality exclusives.

It's petty, but the whole idea of console exclusivity annoys me since I don't want to drop a bunch of money on a PS4 but I wouldn't mind playing Bloodborne at some point. At the very least I'm kind of glad that Microsoft sends everything over to the PC and the Xbox has no real exclusives just for that.

I'd love to have a modern console but A: they're too expensive B: I loving hate the modern practice of constantly downloading poo poo just to play a game C: Most games are geard to online stuff and i hate other people. I'm an antisocial hermit poor-boy who prefers the old ps2 i got from a charity shop and my xbox 360 from 7 years ago that i didn't even pay for.

I can't speak for the poor-boy bit but for antisocial hermits, current gen consoles have some of the best single player experiences that have ever been crafted. Don't let the popularity of multiplayer games fool you, single player games are still alive, well, and constantly in demand. You're in for a treat once you do catch up. The constantly downloading stuff is a little annoying but it's not a big deal at all imo, plus the constantly downloading stuff was also a thing for the 360

I don't know what Automata was doing starting off with long sequences without save points. It's odd since for the bulk of the game the savepoints are plentiful.

I bought a Ps4 because it was cheaper than a decent new GPU and, despite not purchasing as many games as on the PC because of the price difference, I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. There's a pretty good library of single-player exclusives and the multiplats that I can't run on my PC anymore, and I'm consistently beating the games I buy instead of leaving them rotting on my backlog. Well, except the Ps+ freebies, but those don't count.
