Technically accurate if your words or deeds ever amounted to "I bet Kojima has a better reason for her to be half naked than just because he likes himself some ladies". On the other hand that doesn't strike me as a very good secret.

My Lovely Horse posted:What would be really useful is managing investments and collections right from the pause menu. Majima's business minigame requires active input so it's sort of justified you have to drag your rear end to the location, but I get the feeling even if it wasn't set in '88 you'd still have to take Kiryu to the office. Still: at least some kind of automatic direct payment once you're done with an area or something would have been neat. Buying out the last couple buildings was frustrating too. Oh? You bought every building except for 2-3 in a district a while ago? Enjoy rubbing your face against every building, mashing the x button as you as you try to figure out where the last ones are. A small banner, or flag, or icon on the minimap would have been nice. I remember I had to look up the location of one or two stores online.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna: The Golden Country wow. im kinda very annoyed by the entirety of that DLC. it served three purposes: 1. to show that mythra didn't really understand humans, empathy, and loss 2. to shed some light towards jin and lora's relationship 3. to show addam's face basically everything in it should have been left as it was: briefly mentioned/flashed back to in cutscenes in the base game.

Now that porn is so easily available, it would be great if videogames (and films and TV) could stop throwing scantily-clad women into everything where it's not appropriate. Playing games is great. Having an erection is great. Why wouldn’t you want to combine them? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:It's funny that the Deus Ex reboot has arenas to have epic boss battles with nobodies in, when in the original game the bosses were relatively understated and plot related. If anything the original game was probably trying to move away from more arcadey stuff like bosses. I really wish we could've gotten a real Director's Cut for Human Revolution. (Though frankly so much of that game got shredded up and jumbled about maybe that's just not feasible.) I always found it a little funny that people lauded the DLC "boss fight" because instead of inexplicable forced combat it was pretty much a normal encounter and you could end it by knocking the main bad guy out like any other enemy. That's certainly a step in the right direction, but not really all that creative. Certainly doesn't hold a candle to sussing out killphrases.

I like 100%ing open world games. You usually have to go through some kind of horrible bullshit (GTA Ambulance Missions or Zero's RC shop on the PS2 release come to mind) and that's all part of the challenge that makes it so compelling but man, Yakuza 0 really wants you to suffer. Baseball: A straight up, no-nuance reaction test with no room for error, also my reactions are dreadful. Yes, I know to watch for my character tensing and that they always come out in the same order, I'm still bad. Roulette, baccarat, blackjack, the Chinese dice games: This is basically random chance. Catfight club: This is also random chance and so cringy that I think my parents are going to walk in on me even though I haven't lived with them since 2009. Shogi: At least this is cheeseable but the AI is inhuman if you want to do it properly. Watch 30 adult videos: Uuuuuuurgh.

gently caress the brutes in Spider-Man. Every other enemy type I've fought so far, I handle really well. I got my 100x combo on the first base you have to take down, just webbing, bouncing, dodging, and using takedowns when needed. Shock stick guys, snipers, guns, C4, it's all very fun to flip around and absolutely clown on mooks as Spidey, but the brutes are so drat aggressive and are usually in a group that makes it difficult to dodge guns and the brute at the same time. All that, and sometimes when I dodge at their prompt, they'll catch me at the edge of their range. I try to focus them down first, but when trying to web them it will web other mooks too, meaning the brute isn't webbed enough to attack and he just hits me for half my health bar. Are there any combat abilities useful to take them down? I haven't hit one with the impact webbing, will that make it easier to immobilize them?

Impact does wonders on them. And when dodging, using the jump button right after the dodge gives you some extra space. I don't like those dudes very much, but those two things helped a bunch with them. Throwing objects works, too, and the windup will hit them as well, letting you actually throw.

The trick is to not dodge backwards against brutes. Do the "slide under them" attack or dodge to the side

Electric Webbing also stuns brutes and opens them up for attack with the added bonus that it stuns anyone near to them.

I always electrify brutes, every time. They loving suck, destroy the flow of combat, have a tiny window to dodge (if I don't perfect dodge, they hit me 100% of the time), and take forever to take down. So I just got in the habit of dropping everything I'm doing and zapping them the second I see one, because otherwise it's going to ruin the rest of the encounter. Whip guys aren't much fun either but at least they're easy to dodge. Molotovs can also suck a dick for being absolutely unavoidable, double so if you're making your way to the enemy.

I felt the need to plat that game because I loved it so, but uggggggh I loved Sleeping Dogs, and I wish I had done it, or remembered it, so I could say with more authority why Catfight Club is worse. I'm playing Persona 5, and I cannot believe how loooooooooong it is. It feels like it's the only game I've ever played; I don't remember a time before I was playing this game. And it's just repetitive tasks - leveling up things a little bit day by day. I guess these persona games are supposed to be games that you kind of "live in" and "experience". But I'm 125+ hours into it, and I've put almost no time into any kind of grinding or sidequests. There is a lot to love about this game, but it is bloated, and I want it over.

Frozen Synapse 2, a text-heavy tactical game that came out a week ago doesn't have UI scaling. gently caress off, it's 2018, I shouldn't be squinting while playing at 1440p. People have 4K monitors nowadays.

Sunswipe posted:Don't know if it still works, but the only part of those boss fights I liked was a glitch where you could do a one hit takedown on the final merc if you timed it just right. I think that was removed, sadly. It's incredibly faint praise but I've actually liked the boss changes in the Director's Cut so far, insomuch that the expanded arenas look good and help make the fights feel less artificial. Unfortunately all they actually do in practice is give you a way to hack some turrets and just let them take care of the boss for you. I guess for Fedorova they also added some gas pipes to mess around with.

I appreciate that for the final boss in Human Revolution, they're behind glass until you go through a bunch of bullshit, so if you take the giant laser gun into the fight, lasers are light and so go through glass and you can just win that way.

Luckily, if you skip the video right after it starts, it still counts. I've just decided that I'm not going to worry about getting the last 40 points or so to get the super weapons in Yakuza 0. I love all of the simulated gambling in the game, but I barely know the basics of Mahjong, there's no way I'm going to get all of the associated completion marks with it.

I just loving hate gambling in video games. It's no fun. I don't want to play poker, I don't want to play blackjack, I don't want to play Koi or Cho-han, or any of that poo poo. I especially don't want to play roulette. It's just so out of place in a game, there's no point to it - there are better ways to get money, more fun ways that actual utilize the mechanics of the game, and when you lose...who benefits? Like, what's the point? Why not make a system that favours the player? Who's going to lose out if that's the case? Fishing is the same way in Yakuza games - it's a random chance where you're staring at the screen, hoping that a) you don't spend five minutes reeling in trash (seriously why does trash fight back) b) the fish you want actually bites and c) you don't get hosed and just lose the fish randomly, wasting all your time. Thing is, at least gambling has in-game ways to win, those cheat items that let you just get a big victory. What absolutely sucks is Mahjong. Not because it's a game I don't like, whatever. It's because they just love putting in a ton of goals to meet in mahjong. Gotta win 5 times this way, gotta win twice this way, gotta do all the tournaments, gotta win X amount of money in one go or whatever. Like, gently caress. I'm lucky that I have a roommate that enjoys mahjong, but even so there's only so many games of yakuza I can get him to play mahjong in before he gets tired of it. Oh, and the rules for these games are laughably bad in Yakuza. Koi, most notably. They tell you what cards are required for hand, but don't tell you what the cards are. "Any five 5-point card" Well what the gently caress is a 5-point card?
