What? Is having pedophiles in you main cast a good thing now? Is that the actual reason people love MGS: Peace Walker because most of the cast are creeping on someone they think is underage? Seriously the thing dragging down every MGS game after 3 is that they really upped the sexual creep factor. PW had that, 4 had Snake try to look up women's skirts and gave you a button to molest enemies, 5 had rape on tape and vagina bombs in addition to Quiet.

I think the "gimmick" of Drakengard was that Yoko Taro thought "It's actually kind of hosed up how videogame characters typically kill thousands of people yet are presented as heroic and well adjusted." so he made every party member in the Drakengard series some flavor of criminally insane.

I'm probably forgetting a chunk of story, but Leonard the pedophile guy in Drakengard was from what I remember a good person despite the obvious. They weren't creeping on kids and cracking jokes, he was a depressed guy deeply ashamed of himself who sequestered away in the forest to be a hermit, comes close to suicide and can't do it, then follows Caim in the hopes of eventually dying in their service.

Defiance has a great, active open world. This is fantastic. What's less fantastic is when orbital laser cannons are opening fire on a time trial's route, as mutants plough into the earth with drop pods - these significantly alter the difficulty of a trial, but the timer you're racing against assumes there's nothing but the race itself challenging you. It's very annoying.

VanSandman posted:Wait you made a strip club game? What? Yeah you go to the club and give strippers money and either the stripper invites you into the back if you give one of them all your money (winning, but it’s a room with a hideous stripper and many dildos) or the bouncer kicks you out (losing: you spend too much money at the bar instead of the strippers). But ultimately you have to spend all your money regardless, and I think I gave you $1000 to start with. I was heavily influenced by GTA4 at the time...

oldpainless posted:In LA Noire there’s nothing to do in the city driving around Weren’t they using some at-the-time super high tech equipment to motion capture actors’ facial expressions? Cause that would be super expensive and time consuming and would explain that. But also you can steal cars, and you get a gallery where you can look at all the old timey cars you’ve stolen. Some are quite difficult to find. I really liked the game, oldcomplainfull. E: double post sorry it’s ^ fault

After the first hour I always just had my partner drive whenever it was an option.

I’m so sick of the pause menu music in FC5 and I’m only like 2 hours in. I don’t think I’ve ever muted my tv during a pause in a game but welp, here we go. First time for everything.

Dead Rising 4 isn't very clear on when it saves. I've had the message about reaching a checkpoint, but then lost progress, or made my way into a safe house and on reload I'm back an hour or so. It makes it unclear when I'm safe to stop.

Planetside 2 has made its orbital strike not garbage by allowing you to fire into the ludicrously large no deploy zones around permanent bases, they also added some artillery (that.. can't fire into bases so you can't really use them  ). The tool that sets the marker for these is a dart gun, you need to shoot this dart at your target.It has insane drop and basically requires you to stand 30m from your target, which is a GREAT idea when you're calling down ordinance! So if you see a good spot for ordinance, welp you better get a vehicle and hope it lasts long enough to get you at that spot and fire it at your feet and go out in a blaze of glory, or be a cloaker and hope the enemy doesn't have any players who are suspiciously good at finding and headshotting cloakers. And after all that the enemy gets a very obvious "don't stand here" marker that they can easily escape, making your entire effort of setting up a firing base and getting close enough for the dart pointless! Oh and if you die you need to go back to the base and grab your dart gun again. I'm not saying I should be able to hail mary shots at targets 600+ meters away, but drat I should be able to call down artillery some distance away!

I might be in the minority but if I'm able to call an Orbital Strike you're drat right I'm going to be standing in the blast zone and go out with it, preferably while firing a large machine gun at hordes of grunts and screaming at the top of my lungs

Far Cry 3: it's me. I'm the one dragging this game down. As fun as raiding outposts is, I'm somehow getting disappointed at how easy it is? I've been playing too much Division and it feels so weird for a dude to go down in one or two bullets, like - it feels like I'm cheating somehow?

Alternatively you can put on all the soul and spell charms and use those orange bastards to power up a constant stream of magic missiles at the boss. The respeccing is pretty easy, which is good, cos there are some bosses that require a shitload of experimentation to find a way to take them down.

Ok I love my bear buddy but (FC5) I knew it was gonna happen, I accidentally switched my sniper rifle for some generic rifle a cult guy was carrying and my sniper rifle disappeared. I was expecting this to happen but it’s so goddamn stupid. How am I gonna finish this mission silently now? I have a bow but it’s not the same as a snipey with a scope and a silencer. Why can’t you like, LOCK a weapon in so you can’t accidentally change it?

I think also he had been put in charge of a bunch of orphans or some poo poo, realized that he was an awful person and definitely shouldn't be near kids, tried minimizing his contact with them, and then they all got killed by a group of passing soldiers when he was away. which emphasizes how hosed up the drakengard world is because he's the closest thing in it to a good person

I love the complaints from people who play Far Cry 5, the tone changes so much the longer they play. 2 hours in: I hate the pause music 10 hours in: These scripted sequences are bad and poo poo's pretty repetitive 40 hours in: I hate this, and I hate myself for playing it

Bomb around Montana in a crop duster and sic your pet bear on people? Sounds pretty hard to gently caress up. And, I enjoyed FC3 (Swan Dive Into the Mouth of A Crocodile Simulator 2K13) well enough. But the more I read from people who played it the more mediocre it sounds.

Planetside 2: Man its great that the Max anti vehicle weapons are also excellent anti infantry weapons. Got people holed up, a bitch and a half to flush out? Bring a vehicle, oh wait they melt your health in 3 shots. Ok well if they're using anti vehicle weapons then use infantry! Oh wait, they can practically one shot infantry. Cool!
