Same, but GTA. Well ok the blowing up random poo poo while not doing quests doesn't feel like a chore but even that gets old.

I keep buying them in the hopes that I ‘get’ it but I’m sat here on my 5th attempt of that first street part in Bloodborne and kind of wondering why I’m bothering. Because the world building and environment/monster design are really cool, but if you don't have that experience then yeah I guess it would just be a pretty meh action rpg with that's either too hard or too easy. I got a lot of enjoyment just exploring and surviving in the world of bloodborne, the world and monster steadily ratchet up in weirdness from start to end and the way souls games work you can make any hard bit easier by just getting stronger if I just wanted to progress. sebmojo posted:I'm like that with total war games Sometimes I want to play them again but then I remember I actually just want to smash ships into each other not everything else around it. is pepsi ok posted:Same, but GTA. It would be better if GTA4 onward hadn't actively tried to make it more of a chore. Flannelette fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Jul 30, 2019 |

We should be able to actually gamble in video games. Like, instead of loot box bullshit I should be able to throw down a dollar before a round of a game and get some actual money if I win. I don't see how this could possibly go wrong or backfire catastrophically.

Right? The fun is right there within my grasp. Well I've gotten this far just a little bit further I'll reach that fun! It's not so bad. Maybe it'll be better next expansion.

I like the idea of total war games. In reality I end up spending 90% of my time auto deciding battles and managing buildings, which is completely uninteresting Tried to do a mortal empires campaign in Total Warhammer 2 and each turn took like several minutes to finish because there were so many AI... who has time for that poo poo??

I bought rage 2 today because I said I was going to if it went on sale and holy poo poo what a disappointment take doom 2016 gunplay, which is good and fun. But take out the good enemy design, replace em aaall with people. Also, take out the upgrade system that was fun and replace it with an absolute chore and make the player do like ten versions of it. Hmm what else can we scrap here, level design, throw that out make it open world, all of the visual feedback like blood and deformation, replace that with some cod style hit markers...alright, looking good. Now, bring the mad max guys in here. Alright, we all know what people liked Mad Max for; the incredibly tedious looting of cleared out bases. I want that same system except double down on it. I want the player to feel like they are on an easter egg hunt every time they get to a base but ESPECIALLY after all of the enemies are dead and there's no fun gameplay left.

The only multiplayer games that are worth investing time in are the ones that have a binary executable (or source code) for the dedicated server released to the general public. So almost none of them lol EDIT: Left out JAR files and things of that nature, y'all know what I mean olives black fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jul 30, 2019 |

It feels like such a stupid abstraction to fill bars like that, as though they don't even try to hide the fact they're wasting your time.

I have a fancy warhammer for tourneys and parades. I have a war warhammer for war. I also have a total war warhammer if the war gets really nasty. So it's not such a stupid name after all.

Looking at it it from the outside in makes it look ok because the combat is decent. But eeeeeverything else is soooooo soo bad and it just ends up being tedious as gently caress

The actual Mad Max game was way better than Rage 2. It's really crazy how Rage 2 managed to take the 2 defining traits of the first Rage (stunning graphics and awesome gunplay) and gently caress them up so hard.

Total War games take an interesting premise and then hang an awful and boring game on it. The best bit of the whole series are the FMV assassinations in shogun 1

IMO total war campaigns are fun in the beginning when the battles are just a few units, but after like 10 turns it's full stacks vs full stacks all the time and every battle takes forever

There's not much RPG elements beyond upgrading some moves and unlocking new ones, and you can skip all the sidequests since the rewards are paltry for the most part. The formula for those games is usually "20 minutes of high-quality cutscenes followed by 10 minutes of brawling followed by more cutscenes," for better or worse.

Eh, I always found it frustrating that your generals will almost inevitably pick up some sucky trait like alcoholism that would just get worse and worse until them entering a city would instantly cause a revolt. It was a lol though that, in at least some of the games, leaving a general on a fleet for too long would end up turning them gay.

Voting Floater posted:Eh, I always found it frustrating that your generals will almost inevitably pick up some sucky trait like alcoholism that would just get worse and worse until them entering a city would instantly cause a revolt. Surviving Mars has similarly annoying negative traits that get passed on. You fill your first ship of colonists with the best of the best, and spend the rest of the game shipping over alcoholics, hypochondriacs, manic-depressives, vegans, the terminally lazy (-20 to whatever job they're doing regardless of specialization), etc. Thankfully you can fix them, but it's extremely slow and you have to devote a significant portion of your workforce to staffing Sanitoriums. End-game you get The Morpheus Project, which basically just broadcasts mind-control waves to clear out any negative traits. It's always fun when someone develops a crippling fear of robots and destroys the life-support systems for an entire dome.
