Cleretic posted:Oh, on the contrary. Out of every RPG Bethesda's made Morrowind had enough crazy mobility stuff going on through beefing up certain stats that a map with a bunch of platforming elements would probably be really interesting. Any Bethesda game since immediately after Morrowind would be unable to do it.

Samuringa posted:I definitely won't remember details right now, but the thing that I remember standing out the most about AC3 is that the Templars seemed quite...reasonable? There was one who was a drunken rear end in a top hat, but I don't remember any of them being obvious assholes like the previous games and they were right about George Washington being a dick, as it turns out he was the one who sent the attack against your village, thus negating the entire motivation that Connor had against the Templars in the game. Yeah, it kinda sucks the fun out playing when you find yourself nodding in agreement every time the "villains" point out that a you're a loving moron constantly shooting yourself in the foot.

The Nuka-World DLC for FO4 already has Gatorclaws, which are Deathclaws, except the base animal was an alligator.

HairyManling posted:That sounds terrible. I don’t know much about programming, but is it really time or resource consuming to implement a password system like the later Soulsborne games have? Seems like something Bethesda did on purpose because reasons.. Or am I missing the point entirely and there’s a good reason you’d want random people in your game? I was thinking of getting this for my son for Christmas, but everything I’m hearing about it sounds like it sucks. Private servers are coming in around a year. My guess is Bethesda wants to also find a way to lock them to their paid mods scheme before allowing it.

What impresses me is they took out npcs and then made the map size 4 times bigger than fallout 4, and came to the conclusion that 26 players per server was a good cap.

It still, to this day, blows my loving mind that while South America had natives, cool native religions alongside with mad cool native architecture you could tie into their metagame, obsidian blades, gold mad Spaniards, Cathedrals, interesting history that hasn't been done to death in awful movies, they decide to make a game that's "random indian dude witnesses boring events of boring country while standing next to villains doing nothing" They didn't even have the balls to really go for the Assassins siding with the British and the Templars with the treacherous Americans, which might have been at least a slight twist to it. oh dope posted:It's not just you, believe me. Unless you're actually from Boston the landmarks are pretty obscure. I'm pretty sure most Americans couldn't pick the Bunker Hill memorial or the Old North Church out of a lineup. The one and only remotely recognizable landmark to me was Fenway Park, and even that isn't a well known structure. I wasn't impressed, to say the least. Der Kyhe posted:I'd venture a guess that the place was selected because it has "generic eastern region, USA" feel to it but still some real-life locations since that is how Fallout games roll. I mean, put the game in the middle of Kansas and you do not have to worry about Z axis at all. And if it fails, they still have Miami, New Orleans and Chicago for the future titles.

THis biggest problem with AC3 was that I was able to miss a large number of assassination targets because I didn't bother with the Naval missions, and half of them were killed in ship battles, so at the end Connor is taking down the portraits, and I'm like "Wait, who was that and when the gently caress did he die?"

I can't imagine playing AC3 and skipping the naval stuff.Brother Entropy posted:how so(haven't played it, genuinely curious)? The Templars are behind the revolution, for one. At the end of Rogue they say they were inspired by the Assassin's support for the American revolution and they exacerbate tensions by causing food riots etc so they can blame the nobility, with the eventual goal of taking control themselves after the people become weary of chaos.

Does Hitman 2 still have that weird thing where native speakers from a nation have a completely bland American accent when they talk? Like, in Hitman (2016) a Moroccan man will walk up to me and say in a very plain American voice "oh didn't see you there " and its jarring as all hell.

My roommate picked up Pokemon Let's Go Eevee. It's gotten pretty good critic reviews and I'm not saying nothin' that would hamper her fun, but it seems to be a piece of garbage??? It's a remake of Red/Blue/Yellow (again) except the gameplay is ludicrously simplified to the point where failing at anything seems drat near impossible. It's not like Red/Blue/Yellow was hard (besides that one cave with endless zubats) so it's kinda baffling. The silliest thing is that it has a two player mode where you have two Pokemon out at once and each player gives them commands, but your NPC opponent does not adjust for this at all, so you just get two moves for every one of your opponent's and you can steamroll the gyms so hard that none of the NPCs can even land a single attack. I know it's not a mainline Pokemon game, but yeesh!

I'm just confused what the target audience is. Mainline Pokemon games haven't really ever been super difficult for kids, so the excessive streamlining and simplification seems a bit weird. I guess they mainly want the audience that has never played anything that is not on a phone, but I feel like a 300 buck console and a 60 buck is a really hard sale for that crowd.

Whats funny about that is that we first learned that FO4 was going to be set in Boston because Bethesda employees were scouting locations there. The real problem is that the game sucks. I think we could all overlook the numerous minor flaws if the entire game had been as good as Far Harbor.

I think Fallout 3 and New Vegas benefited from location in large part because of the fact that Bethesda's open worlds of that generation all seemed to have a similar design philosophy: there's a point on the map so easily visible that you can always navigate by it. It's an approach that has its benefits and flaws, but it means that all of those games had to design around a central point, and make that point feel big and important. In Oblivion, it was the White-Gold Tower and the Imperial City. And so the Imperial City became the biggest singular location in the game, to justify the fact it was visible from near-everywhere. In Fallout 3, it's the ruined D.C. skyline, most noticeably the Washington Monument. That's a fantastic use of the whole design concept, because it gives a whole lot of space for the designers to play, a really nice sense of scope, and they're sort of forced to make really iconic areas. And in New Vegas (not strictly Bethesda, but likely borrowing the design concept) it's of course the Lucky 38 and the Strip. Which suits, it's not just the center of the population but also the center of the story. But they abandoned that design approach with Skyrim, probably because it made the world seem awfully small. But that sort of bit them in future Fallout planning, I think, because it meant they didn't have to make iconic, recognizable central locations anymore. And in their hands with Fallout, that just means a whole bunch of uninspiring ruins and maybe one or two landmarks that are maybe sorta recognizable. A Fallout set in Chicago or New York would probably go really well, but you'd have to hope for the Fallout 3-era willingness to have distantly recognizable landmarks.

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is a whole, whole lot of fun and I'm loving it, but I'd drop some good money for other playable characters, even just as an adventure mode thing. Basically Ken's Rage 1/2, while not being great games, spoiled me on FotNS games because getting to play Jagi and Toki etc. was cool.
