Little things you hope to make some extracurricular game fun for ten minutes and are denied

Len posted:I went into the final boss fight with something like 30 rifle bullets and no spare handgun ammo. Yes I'm using the rifle a lot but that's because you won't give me bullets you bastard Yeah, even if you don't use it much the default amount of rifle ammo you find in pre-ordained spots is more than enough for anyone with a healthy respect for the tactical disadvantages of staring down a scope in room full of angry ganados. It really is the perfect game, though, or closer to it than any other game I've played. It even has a reactive difficulty curve that basically no one noticed until years later, and I don't think any other game has done difficulty better. Um... okay, so, I guess the TMP being the only weapon of its type, having it's own exclusive ammo and a lackluster exclusive upgrade was kind of lame.

the TMP is the "I want to suplex everyone" weapon. One knee shot and they open their guard.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands I just remembered that this terrible piece of poo poo no good absolutely garbage putrid pile of game exists. Never ever playing it again but I will mention my favorite glitch that iirc still has not been patched is that if you're flying passenger in a helicopter, you can deploy a drone (intentional), except the drone will immediately blow up the helicopter because of some kind of collision fuckery (unintentional)

So is the consensus that RDR2 is one big little thing in games dragging a game down? I liked the first one well enough and 2 looks cool but most of the complaints I hear about it are the precise things I hate about these types of open world games and I don't have the time to waste figuring out how to dress up my cowboy or worry about bumping into someone in a saloon and starting a brawl. The menu system and the controls sound weird to me to and I never cared for Rockstar's button assignments in the first place, going all the way back to GTA3.

I hated that game so much. And I say that as someone who likes rough edges in games- RDR2 had the time and budget that this wasn’t their reach exceeding their grasp, that weird bullshit was intentional.

I feel like RDR2 is one of those games you will know going in if its your thing or not. I personally am of a broke brained mind that i still like the old school rockstar formula and RDR2 does it so well. I loved it and ate up every second. If you don't well naw, I'm not even gonna try to convince you.

RDR2 has been described as a Cowboy simulator and that's what I'm going with because I wasn't interested. You have to bathe your cowboy, you have to feed him a good meal, make sure he shaves and gets a haircut, get your clothes cleaned. If you decide to commit crimes don't use the same horse and clothes that you were wearing when you weren't doing crimes.

For me the thing dragging down RDR2 was how there were a million complaints online about how the design is "outdated'. They made a game, they made their design decisions, since when the hell is every game obligated to follow industry trends.

Started playing Just Cause 4 and it's kind of weird how the marketing talked up the whole weather control thing and the opening talks up the whole weather control thing but then you don't actually get to see it anywhere in the beginning of the game. You're assaulting the weather machine and instead of having a playable section where that happens it's just a cutscene where nothing happens and Rico just kind of crashes.

If you decide to commit crimes don't use the same horse and clothes that you were wearing when you weren't doing crimes. With full knowledge this is not the "Defend RDR2 Power Hour", you don't have to do those things. I believe if you go for a long time without bathing you might get some context dialog and response. Dudes at a poker table might say "SOMEONE SMELLS LIKE PIG poo poo" but I've heard them say that when I sit down at the table fresh out of happy fun (in game) bath time. You do need to eat if you want to regenerate some of those cores, but only if you don't have the time/opportunity to set camp and sleep. The shaving and haircut stuff is straight up Cowboy Dress Up and absolutely NOT necessary. You DO have to go to some extra lengths if you plan on doing some serious mischief, but that's to be expected. Also, that's only if you're trying to avoid serious warrants or possee's. The game seems to gently nudge you into playing white hat style based on some of the dialog, so of course it's going to be some extra steps if you plan on shooting everyone you meet in the face for a measly .23. Thing ACTIVELY dragging down RDR2 for me. Chase Missions STILL suck. Specifically, the one in Chapter 4 on foot through the large city. To make matters worse, the game then tells me I could have caught the guy way before the scripted event has it happen. I like the controls for the most part, but that bit SUCKED. Also, not so much of a complaint as it is my old man memory but I cannot remember how to get your dude to "match speed" with NPC's. There's a text pop up near the beginning that details this and is NEVER mentioned again. Whereas I get told how to fish constantly. Also, I wish there was a way to show items needed for the crafting stuff in-game. hatelull has a new favorite as of 22:02 on Feb 6, 2019 |

Unironically a good way of figuring out if you'd like something is watching for what people don't like about a game. If the criticism is weird and nitpicky to you, it's probably a good game. I should've listened when everybody said that Octopath Traveller is for SNES rpg fans.

Anyway sorry for the double post, but I'm also so enraged by the RE2 remake's insistence that I switch to another character with no abilities for a pre-scripted stealth sequence with instafails at every point if you don't figure out where the developers want you to hide anywhere along the way. I couldn't stand the original RE2's camera angles long enough to know whether it's in the original, but regardless, HOW IS IT SO GODDAMN HARD FOR DEVELOPERS TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOBODY LIKES THESE PARTS

It wasn't a stealth section in the original, but Sherry did have a section where she had no weapons and had to avoid monsters, so here we are. You can only really fail that sequence after the door is locked, and only if you let the flashlight fall fully on you. Just crouch behind cover until he moves the barrier, then when he goes back towards the door, run around the cover to the opening on the left near the bathroom, and just stay there until he goes to the bathroom. Then grab the key and book it. So long as you don't stand still or anything like that, he can't catch you. edit: It occurs to me you probably figured all that out and more just complaining you have to do it at all, but if I may add to the complaint: While I don't mind that it's a short stealth section per se, especially since its so short, I am trying to get an S+ on Hardcore, and that requires beating the whole game in less than 2 1/2 hours, and there is no way to speed up Sherry's part, which is definitely a drag. marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 05:56 on Feb 7, 2019 |

marshmallow creep posted:edit: It occurs to me you probably figured all that out and more just complaining you have to do it at all Basically yeah, I beat it, but it followed the same annoying sequence as every time games do this: I generally know what I need to do, but I start dying because I'm a little bit slow to get to the right cover, or I guess wrong about where to hide. Then I start dying because I know what to do but I'm so bored I get lazy about what I'm doing. And each of those requires time for reloading and waiting for the scripted sequence to play out, in the end it's maybe 30 minutes of getting angry to do something like 3 minutes of gameplay. It's aggravating because it happens in so many games, and I've never heard anyone praise them as anything stronger than "doable" so I don't know why it's such a common type of setpiece.

In Life is Strange: before the storm: episode one (1), The voices can vary wildly on subjects. Talking about a poster can sound one way and then looking at the next poster has a noticeable echo or the characters voice has a totally different emotional twang. Other than that, it reminds me exactly of being a teenage girl.
