Yeah, the "opaque system" guy who played a mage while maxing dexterity or something. Does your legal guardian know that you post here?

Twelve Batmans posted:The best part of SH is that it only takes itself semi-seriously. The outtakes aren't some separate ending- they are in the credits. So you play this really super sad story that ends on a somber note with a bunch of people dying and then you get the see everyone being super goofy and out of character and it lifts your spirits a bit. Same with SH3 is the goofy character songs like Douglas smelling of fish. was Shattered Memories an American SH? that one felt the most like authentic bad dreams, to me

Pastry of the Year posted:was Shattered Memories an American SH? that one felt the most like authentic bad dreams, to me Yeah Shattered Memories was western but not American. Climax (who also did origins) is a British studio and their two products are probably the least lame non-Japanese entries in the franchise. At least with Origins it was a story other than "SOMEONE DIED AND YOU FORGOT HERE IS YOUR PATH TO REDEMPTION WRAPPED UP IN lovely HAM-HANDED STORY", which all it seems is all American studios can do since Silent Hill 2 is the only game that stuck with people here despite 1 and 3 clearly being way better and having a more interesting continuous plot while 2 was more of a gaiden. Hell even The Room is more interesting than 2.

FoolyCharged posted:Yeah, and I think it's a cute little story about the origin of genetic fantasy sounding name that rolls off the tongue. I wasn’t saying you were wrong, I just think it’s kind of an interesting story. The developers of Monkey Island came up with Guybrush Threepwood in a similar fashion. If the main planet for Anthem ends up being called Tas though, then we’ll know they’re getting lazy.

Trust me I know it's an unpopular opinion. I just prefer an actual supernatural horror story with demons and rituals and a likable protagonist compared to some guy that got into a pillow fight with his dying wife's face and forgot about it.

It wants you in those vents. Those vents are where you go.

It's an old-school rpg pretending to be a fps You can't shoot poo poo because you are the sci-fi equivalent of a level 1 wizard wielding a claymore E: also you can totally ignore the vents and frontal assault everything in Deus ex but this is harder and may not be ideal for people who are bad poverty goat fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jul 19, 2018 |

Verisimilidude posted:octopath traveler is a pretty bland experience that has some good ideas but ultimately drops the ball by loving up the most crucial part of an rpg: the story I like that it doesn't have a big, epic story and instead is just eight stories about people doing (mostly) human-scale things, at least until the end and the obligatory True Final Boss stuff kicks in. I wish that there was at least some incidental dialog from other party members during each character's story, though. It doesn't seem like it would've been all that impossible to just have your other party members occasionally chime in with a line, even just a little incidental line as you're walking around.

Nah, I actually tried nonlethal but couldn't figure out the stun sticks goofy rear end hitbox, so I'd just poke people from behind and then they'd get mad at me.

The addition of an accuracy mechanic whose purpose is to make your projectiles not go where you point them is one of the worst developments in FPS evolution. It’s anti-gameplay. If you want me to have a random chance to hit my target, do not give me the illusion of direct control.

lllllllllllllllllll posted:This is a different kind of game, but Duke Nukem 3D was better than Doom too. Actually all these pseudo 3D games offered pretty advanced gameplay, had nice graphics (as in, say, playable comic book) and tons of neat ideas. When I first saw gray-brown Doom I thought it looked horrible. You are comparing games that came out 4 years apart at the time games were going through the most rapid transformation in history, lol.

Deus Ex presented the idea of killing off most of the population as a dystopian nightmare, but observing people failing to grasp the basic concepts of that game makes forcible euthanasia seem both necessary and merciful.

You shoot a guy, he gets panicked for a second because somebody shot him with a dart, then he falls unconscious three seconds later as the tranquilizer becomes effective

The game never explains that in order for your stun prod backstab to instantly incapacitate the guy and not waste all its ammo you need to explicitly hit them in the upper back. Not the lower back, which is different for reasons, nor is the head your target like any other fps game. You can only surprise taze someone in their goddamn shoulders.

So yeah, telling the player to figure out opaque unmarked mechanics is a crock of poo poo. Theres a reason people stopped doing that garbage.
