FactsAreUseless posted:Another reason that Morrowind was a better game than Skyrim. Sure, there were plenty of randomly-named hostile people, but they had reasons to be there. They were slavers or drug traders or you had otherwise stumbled across their illegal operations. Other enemies would go hostile automatically at the end of dialogue. Every fight in MW makes sense, and they're never against someone named Large Bandit. Me and a friend are playing Morrowind's multiplayer mod (it's his first time ever playing the game) and we've spent hours just talking about this poo poo and why, despite its age, we're both way more engrossed in our, more or less, vanilla morrowind playthrough than we have been with any playthroughs of more recent elderscrolls games excepting maybe our first playthroughs of oblivion each. Another big factor we keep bringing up is that every town, big or small, has a ton of dudes. Sure, most of them are incidental and there's no real reason to ever talk to them. But they're all there with names and poo poo. Even dudes you run into in the wild have names, they're not just "highwayman". Towns in skyrim feel weirdly empty and sterile. Anyway; Conan Exiles. Another game I'm playing with a friend. Fun and games, survival stuff. Right up until we go to the tundra to take on the top tier gameplay stuff. Oh man does the tundra suck. There's no stopping cold damage! My cold resistance is maxed and poo poo, and half my HP is gone by the time I get anywhere. And everything here is just so god drat mad. Probably because they're cold all the time. I can barely cross the lake we set up shop in because I have to kill like ten mammoths, thirty wolves and fifty saber tooth tigers every drat time, and then my health runs out because of the cold and you can't heal at all once the cold DoT starts in.

One thing that always pulled me out of Morrowind's world was the fact that any personality the NPCs had instantly vanished the second you asked them about something. "Hey der *hic* stranger! Looksh like a good night fer all of *hic* us wid this big ol' bottle o' moonshine! *hic*" > Asks about 'Dark Elves' "The Dark Elves of Morrowind are a secretive bunch. They often judge you by your racial heritage more than anything else"

Going from Prim's story to Cyrus was some loving emotional whiplash. From abused secret princess prostitute kills her pimp to wahh someone stole a *book* from the library was just tonally jarring. Great game though.

JackSplater posted:I find that Gungeon runs are kinda boring if you don't get a good gun in the first couple of chests. Like, the first floor boss is doable with the starting gun, it just takes forever. But every floor after that increases everything's health, so you /need/ a decent gun by the third floor or you're gonna eventually die because you couldn't kill things fast enough to keep your health from being eaten by stray bullets. And it's entirely possible to NOT get a good gun, because there are just so many possible drops. Different strokes and all that, but I find that there arent really that many terrible guns in the game (and after all the updates a few of the bad guns have a whole bunch of interactions with other bits which can make them surprisingly strong if you happen to get one of the things it has a synergy with, which admittedly is purely down to the RNG). Even stuff like the T-shirt cannon (which I personally think is one of the fairly bad guns) can be situationally good by knocking enemies into pits. It doesnt do a lot of damage against a boss, but its got range over your base gun. If you get to floor 3 and all the guns you have are the Peashooter, blunderbuss and Casey then yeah, thats not a good run. I'm not saying it cant happen. I just find that i either get something decent or can buy something decent from the shopkeeper by the end of floor 2 far more often than not. The elevators... Yeah, unlocking those were a pain in the dick. I'm not going to defend that. I 100% think you should have been able to donate keys and cash in increments over multiple runs, instead of each individual requirement having to be done in one go. I will say that each and every one of them seemed impossible when I saw the requirements for it, but I now have them all unlocked. In most cases I'd advise not to try for them unless very early on you realise that you have a great start on getting what you need for it. So for example, dont stress the multiple keys and money requirement unless you have a floor one where you end up walking out with a decent chunk of change and a decent number of keys, or the first chest you opens has the mimic tooth necklace or the drill or something (which let you access chests without using keys). Also the pilot can be useful for conserving keys because of the lock pick. Once I unlocked them I used them once then never again. If you go deep enough the Resourceful Rat gives you a choice of guns so you arent completely unarmed on floor 4 or whatever, but yeah, I much prefer rocking up at the end boss with a full gungeons worth of loot. So while they are a pain to unlock, at least you arent missing much by not having them unlocked I guess? I like Gungeon, I like Binding of Issac, I'd find it tough to place one much above the other. BoI has a lot more garbage items than Gungeon, but also a lot more ways to outright break a run across your knee. I'd say that the person who was asking originally liked unlocking stuff, and I reckon you unlock stuff more quickly and regularly when starting Gungeon over Isaac, and in addition always has a bunch of reasonably clearly defined goals you can be trying to do when you play. And Its also a lot nicer about letting you know what the gently caress the thing you have just picked up does compared to BoI where I frankly advise new players to have the wiki open on their phone while they play until they at least get a grip of what most of the cards do. I've platted Isaac, and in Gungeon all I need to do to get the plat (of the base game, gently caress trying to "beat an advanced boss", beat turbos challenge or kill the resourceful rat in the expansions*) is beat bullet hell, and the only character who I still need to unlock and beat their past is The Gunslinger. I was thinking of picking up Nuclear Throne for my next... What are we calling this genre now? Roguelites? Run based game where you can unlock stuff for future runs, but it feels like the only time I've heard anyone talk about it recently opinion has kind of turned a bit negative on it. *While I'm typing a screed anyway, here are some things that drag Enter the Gungeon down for me. Still a really fun game, but; As mentioned the conditions for unlocking the elevators are too arduous. The 4 junk for one level was such a pain because I would always get to 3 then chests would just start exploding or dropping hearts when shot instead. And Sir Junkeon doesnt count as junk, despite showing as junk in your inventory so the run where I had him and 3 junk was also annoying. However my big one is: I think the alternate floors should stay unlocked once you have visited them once. Getting to the Temple or the Rats Lair is kind of a pain, I would have much preferred it if, once you unlocked the route once, you always had the option of going there for free instead of progressing to the next floor. Also some of the bosses are much harder than others on the same floor. And honestly I could do without the Rat stealing poo poo left on the floor. It would hardly be game breaking if the game let me open a chest, see a good activated item, teleport to the shop to sell my current activated item, then come back to pick it up.

I shall be real, gungeon is much better with a keyboard if you bind blanks to q and item usage to right mouse button. and after getting all of the loving items, I can safely say: I rolled at the right moment you fucks don't kill me and then give me "your slow reflexes" as the reason i died.

Kind of regretted it after a while because pre-updates gungeon was ridiculously stingy with keys and ammo, making getting and using the guns a real pain. But they improved gungeon with patches/free updates and I ended up loving it. Once I'm totally done with Gungeon I'll give it a look.

Playing BotW - three sacred beasts beaten, reliable mid-tier gear and over a dozen heart containers, I'm STILL pleasantly surprised when I don't get one-shot by complete random mooks. Bonus points if they hit me from off screen. Fortunately I can continue to wander aimlessly without any sense of where the town I need to find is due to fantasy geography, at least until I run across that guy that likes Korok seeds and has no indication of where he is on the map. I THINK I still like this game, but it feels like it doesn't really care if I do. At least I never have to do that desert boss again.

A major problem I'm having with the Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass postgame is that I'm really used to leaving the house by the front door, not the closet, so I keep getting a bunch of progress, going to change characters then accidentally triggering the ending, and oops! I haven't saved! Now I'll have to do the second heart prison boss all over again...

The last update to Enter the Gungeon made the damage cap higher so bosses die a bit faster and you can always go turbo mode if you find the game too slow. There are still some loading times for the elevators or if you die but on my pc it is usually under seven seconds. They also made it so you are guaranteed one key in the shop as well as a gun if you didn't pick one up on the first level after the boss. The new character Paradox also starts off with one random gun and one random item once you unlock them. Also, just use the robot for all the elevator run requirements (with curse statue as well for extra money)  it really does suck the rat key costs so much because the rat fight is the best fight in EtG (hell it is in my top three boss fights) but that is why the oubliette exists (why does it cost two keys ugh)

MisterBibs posted:I'm sure its unfamiliarity and my general mood (I'm grumpy and looking into my backlog for something new), but Dying Light is annoying me early on because I'm trying to get a feel for the game (not even sure when I bought it), but the game not orchestrating what is something I can climb onto or not is annoying me. I'm only in the tutorial with the crane, and it was a lowkey pain to find which parts of it the game would let me jump up to. It really opens up the world when you get the grappling hook. I get why they kinda save it for late-game, because it totally trivializes traveling through even the most obnoxious terrain and/or enemy clumps. Although it does have a cooldown to prevent unlimited hook-spamming (which I totally would do).

I just don't understand why you need damage caps on bosses that are already HP sponges to begin with. Kind of killed my interest in gungeon and definitely made me drop dead cells It's a rouge lite, the whole point is that sometimes you get dealt poo poo hands and sometimes you get dealt amazing items that could break the game. Oh we can't have that, let's neuter the fun stuff so you only get to experience the pain of a poo poo hand and never the joy of a lucky hand

Minor issues but they still bug me. Metro Exodus I don't like that I have to hold down the button to open the containers- I'm pretty sure that 2033 and Last Light were just one button press but it has been a while since I played them so I might just be wrong on that. I wish the compass arrow was flipped around, it looks like a dagger but you're supposed to follow the handle of it.  You're actually supposed to follow the smaller red arrow on it. It felt kinda counter-intuitive to me.

RareAcumen posted:Minor issues but they still bug me. My dragging things down with Exodus is they finally made an open world Metro game and took you out of the Metro. Also the story isn't that great because you never spend long enough in one spot to get invested in anything that's going on. Anyway, I've been playing Days Gone and just ran into a story beat that didn't seem that well thought out or maybe is a remnant from an older version of the story for how poorly it worked. In the game's setting there is a cult called "Rest in Peace" or "RIP" or the "Rippers" and early on the game's story revolves around how some Rippers catch your buddy and severely burn his arm with a blowtorch. As the game progresses you learn that the Rippers are looking for two dudes who used to be in a motorcycle club (the main character and his friend with the burned arm.) Eventually you meet the leader of the Rippers and he reveals why he hates the two of you so much. Basically he was also in the MC but was kicked out and the leader of the club (who is not the main character) removed his club tattoos, including a large back piece, with a blowtorch. You're not given the context of why that happened but that is still a really hosed up thing to do to a person.

I posted something nice about DC Universe Online in the other thread so I'm going to make a complaint about it here. As with many MMOs the game has a lot of instances that are made to be run multiplayer. Every so often, a major boss fight will start with the boss blocking the entrance behind you. If you are running behind when this happens, you are cut off from the fight entirely. Also if you are defeated during the fight, you spawn in front of the entrance which is now closed. There was a point in an 8-person raid where seven of us were stuck behind a force field watching our one over-leveled compatriot try to very slowly solo Braniac, though in that case the bad guy was kind enough to occasionally teleport to the other side of the barrier and we got to fight him. The only way to really get back in is if everyone goes down, then the barrier goes away and you can all enter the boss area again- this actually isn't so bad since I think the boss doesn't regenerate its health. Like, we eventually got through the raid. It was fun. But I cannot imagine why you would design a multiplayer area in such a way that means everyone has to be as fast as the person who's charging full speed (and there's ALWAYS someone like that).
