tight aspirations posted:My fave cold bits in games are in the original Crysis, where your billion-dollar super suit, which can turn invisible, give you super strength and generally make you equal or better than the entire NK army, does not seem to have any insulating properties at all, forcing you to sit near fires to warm up, like some sort of special forces hobo. feels like I'm wearin nothin at all!

I mean, they could probably have stuck in a heater, but going by how long your optic camo lasts, the thing's batteries are tiny. Better not to risk it.

Making a super futuristic suit that's extremely good at killing but fails at the most basics tasks seems like a very good critique of military spending.

It’s also not Regular Cold in that part of Crysis, it’s “Goddamn Aliens Are Sucking All The Heat Out Of Everything In A Giant Bubble” Cold. It’s entirely possible the suit would work fine in the arctic or something, but can’t keep up with the aforementioned Goddamn Aliens.

It's a godamn crime, a godamn crime I say that Crysis is mostly remembered for being a pretty, hard-to-run tech demo than a prime example of the FPS genre.

Zedd posted:Crysis was/is a great game once you just give yourself unlimited suit energy, Predator mode Conversely, the funnest play through* I did of Crysis was where is tried to be as stealthy as possible... without using the cloak at all. It’s surprisingly doable. You can hide in the jungle foliage really easily and the mobility options provided by the speed and strength modes makes it hilariously easy to break contact and reposition to ambush pursuit. * Until the aliens anyways.

I think I just enjoy all the curated menus in the chef for hire mode. I also messed around with 3 for a while and I dig it, but since it’s in early access I’m gonna hold off before getting truly obsessed with it. It seems pretty complete already, but still.

The opening to RDR2 is the best cold weather game I've ever played, it's too bad that it apparently never really goes back to that biome in any significant way ever again.

I've been playing Diablo 3 on PS4 and having a blast - i started a mage on expert last night and the difficulty is perfect, not crazy hard but you have to stay alert all the time and packs of yellow bosses need very careful attention. I can't believe they made you play through the whole game at faceroll difficulty at launch before changing difficulty, what a stupid decision.

The game is significantly easier even on Normal now than it was at launch. Normal was still braindead easy though, it's the difficulty for people who have literally never played a video game before.

Mostly interested in some QoL stuff like having horse just clip an NPC not instantly make things aggro and bountied, UI and some gameplay refinements. Not really interested in total conversion mods or stuff, but just like a directors-cut esque mods polishing up and streamlining some tedious stuff.

It'll be great to an ARPG-sandbox on PC that does the Ubisoft formula better than Ubisoft. Also we'll find out who is this Ted guy people always go on about.

I couldn't get very far in RDR2 because of the worse than normal Rockstar control scheme regardless of using a keyboard/mouse or controller. It should bother me so much but I just got tired of worrying if I was going to get on my horse or punch it in the rear end.

Avalerion posted:I assume that stuff is intentional, it's trying to frustrate you into going full nazi so it can then pull it's gotcha on you. Here's the thing that really gets me though, some of the gotcha stuff really ain't. For example, prisons: if you don't have them, the only thing you can do is execution by sending them into the frozen wilderness. So instead, you keep them in a warm building for perpetuity. You want to release people from prison? You make them swear loyalty. Which also means that they become informants for your regime. Also, serving soup is looked down upon, because people in the frozen hellscape are gourmets I guess. The only decisions that actually have a reasonable element of choice on the slippery slope into tyranny the game's obviously trying to make you go down are in relation to child labour, which is just as laughable. Yes, allowing children to work in the kitchens - naturally warm places - is in fact a better thing to do than have them assist in amputations at the clinic. And that's mutually exclusive with letting them build prototypes and do science stuff in the workshops. Don't even get me started on how daft it is that "Order" and "Faith" are mutually exclusive. Frostpunk just magnificently falls flat in every aspect of morality and (once you find the solution) survival/management. Mzbundifund posted:The graphics are evocative and they certainly spent a lot of effort into making the place look really drat cold, with the way the wind and snow effects suppress the feeble furnace glows, but the game is not randomized enough to surprise you, nor is it systems-driven or freeform enough to allow any creativity, so once you've enjoyed the graphics it's hard to justify more than one playthrough. It's a real waste that you can click each individual citizen, and named people pipe up with complaints or praise, yet that's ultimately meaningless.

Has this happened to anyone else? I use to love playing massive open world games like GTA or Far Cry when I was younger but these days I literally can't play them more than an hour after getting bored. I feel like I can't play any game that is too open or loose, I need some kind of narrative focus or the gameplay has to be excellent like the Souls games(not massive openworld but still). It's weird cause back in the day I hated games like Half Life or would have hated stuff like Wolfenstein but now I enjoy those games a lot more than the games I loved up as a kid. And its not even a time constraint thing.

Honestly, yeah, I know the feeling. It's just that after a while, you've really already tickled everything that it is possible to get out of the concept of "open world" games. Everything that a game being open world allows you to do over others, you've already done multiple times. None of that really appeals for its own sake anymore. Instead of being a desirable feature, all that open world just becomes a lot of extra space between you and the next part of the game that makes it interesting when compared to all the things that just make it another open world game. It's why games like Dark Souls work better. They compact. No part of them is really empty or unimportant, and the strong gameplay can carry them on its own merits all the way through.

I'm the opposite - I have to put effort and focus into playing games with tight narratives whereas in something like Far Cry 4 I can just turn off my brain and finally relax. I read a lot for fun, so I need the other kind of fun where your brain tunes out. This, incidentally, is why I still haven't gotten very far in Disco Elysium yet. It's work to read that thing.

Similarly (and for good reason because it’s the same engine iirc) death stranding’s snow had the same effect on me. Probably the best “trudging through the snow” I’ve ever seen in a game, better than rdr2 even.
