Part of it is also just "what are you used to." I remember when Dragon Age Origins came out I needed to hold the tab key so much my hand started to cramp.

 I broke out MGSV again this weekend after it's come up here a few times lately, and I just want to praise it again for its dedication to making sure your customizations and equipment carry through all visuals and cutscenes. Want to go back to the beginning and let the legend come back to life, only this time decked out with color-coded late-game equipment and riding a demon horse? It's got ya. Every game should be so good.

Sleeping dogs did that and it was hilarious to have Wei show up in a luchador mask, or a full on cop outfit. Then there's Dragon Age: Origins;  Incidentally I've started playing DA:O again and as much as I enjoy it, the little innate problems stand out to me a lot more now. Like Arcane Warriors, my absolute favorite class. They don't have innate access to weapon talents like two-handed weapons or dual-wield so no matter how cool they are, they'll never be as good a fighter as a warrior or a rogue, and they'll always be a kind of gimped mage too because you don't actually use much magic with them. Thankfully on the PC version I can tell the game to go gently caress its self and use console commands to cheat and now I'm a dwarf magewarriorrogue.

I just beat Breath Of The Wild again and I noticed the three dragons don't seem like they were fully.... implemented? Like outside of cleaning the blight off the ice dragon they only really exist to drop rare resources. It's odd for a game to have something so attention grabbing and not make it a central focus or give a bigger reward for interacting with it. Like maybe do a big quest and each dragon gives you a piece of a cool outfit or something. No really a complaint, just an odd design choice.

Shout out to Red Faction 1 for having the worst grenade mechanics when you pulled out a grenade to throw it it had a long wind up, when you clicked to fire a grenade it had a long wind up and animation, before flying off on a random trajectory and bouncing all over the heck. And no way to cook them as well

Is there a special hell for someone who designs a boss fight that's on a platform suspended over a bottomless pit and makes it so the boss can put holes in the platform causing you to fall to your death because lol you died while dodging an attack?

Gerblyn posted:It is a good game, I just think that someone at some point decided it should be much harder than it needs to be. The game itself really appeals to the "I want a story and an experience" crowd, while a lot of the boss fights and later things are pretty hardcore. My Lovely Horse posted:I don't want to speculate baselessly but the whole setup is exactly what I'd expect to occur if playtesting revealed the boss fights were too difficult at the exact point during development where it was too late to redesign them but there was still enough time to just place them somewhere else.

Control's health system was frustrating because it combined: 1. No regeneration. 2. Only source of health is killing. 3. Jesse is incredibly fragile. If you took out a single one of those, it would have been a lot less frustrating. The idea is great, to keep you mobile and active, but the implementation is flawed. The health system was bad enough, but it was coupled with no checkpoints, long load times, and no difficulty options. I got the platinum but some parts of it really ticked me off.

I picked up The Turing Test on sale and was having an ok time until the end of the second chapter, which suddenly introduces unforgiving timed switches. I'm currently stuck on what is very clearly a training puzzle because between the short timer and the Switch's janky analogue sticks I keep loving up the timing by probably half a second or less. Cannot stand puzzle games that up the difficulty with timers and/or tricky platforming unless they combine it with other mechanics that make trying fun or interesting - it's lazy as hell and not a puzzle. I don't think I can be bothered to keep going, since this almost certainly means there're gonna be a bunch of timed puzzles and since I only paid £5 for it, the aesthetic & story so far haven't been particularly compelling, and this isn't what I signed up for, I've got no real drive to put myself through a bunch of dull busywork.

Then when it happens again she blurts out "STILL not a riddle, Eddie!"

I'd say you aren't missing too much. It's been a while since I played but at the end I didn't really feel the puzzles were that engaging and if you don't have to wrestle with the controls it's never really all that difficult besides maybe a puzzle/room or two towards the end. Also the ending was pretty lame. I suppose there's a choice at the end but I didn't feel inclined to check what happens if I try the other thing.

Control could really use more checkpoints. Rocket tag is fine if you can get back into things quickly Edit: lol I'm like 90% positive that you can't hit The Anchor for it's first attack. So you have to wait until it decides to rotate in your direction to hit it the first time. Also it summons those floating bastards you can't throw things at to dodge while also dodging the explosive fuckers and it's near-instant death attack.

Rune Factory 4 is giving me quests for stuff I wont be able to do until later in the game and there is no warning or indication that is the case. At first the quests were used as tutorials but then the quests are like "hey I heard you can get a dungeon by growing stuff in the fields outside of town?? I guess?? IDK go clear one or something???". I also got 2 for growing a certain flower that you can't get until you do these growing dungeons, and for some reason those showed up before the quest for the growing dungeon did. It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't limited to x amount of quests per day, and you could only have 1 quest active. You can drop a quest, but you still lose out on your allowance. Also the volume of enemies in room is insane, especially if they are using ranged attacks. I've entered a room at full health and suddenly I'm in a shmup and there is 40 different projectiles flying at me and then those projectiles will split into 4 more projectiles and scatter to the 4 winds and I start getting stun locked and I can't move then I'm dead. I've started resetting rooms by leaving and coming back if I see the enemy composition has more then 3 ranged enemies. E: Also it has salted and shashimi recipes for every.single.fish. This bloats the hell out of the recipe book. The crafting for armor and weapons has a system where it will have a category for stuff, like say "threads" which will accept all types of cloth and spider webbing. And if you use higher quality stuff, it makes a higher quality weapon. They could've put salted fish and shashimi having a catch all "fish" category and using more expensive fish gave a higher grade meal. Leal has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Mar 2, 2020 |

Might be able to get it if you levitate? I didn't end up getting any health drops, only heard about it later. My strategy for the fight was to do it as fast as possible.

I got pretty lucky on Mold-1, I just constantly circled around it, mainly using launch with some occasional grip shots. Of course, that was with max health/launch/etc. Most of the bosses can be fought way earlier than is comfortable.

I picked up Mortal Kombat X, and I have mostly been enjoying it. I mean, you can play as Jason Voorhees and Leatherface, so that's pretty cool in my books. What isn't so cool, is the crazy ratcheting up of the AI difficulty as you go along. It goes from "Ok, this is challenging, but not unfairly so" to "Well, I hesistated for a few microseconds at the start of the match, so the AI just combo juggled me and I'm dead". I'm sure part of it is that I don't play many fighting games, so my timing and reflexes aren't top notch, but goddamn it's no fun getting stunlocked to death before I can blink.

Tekken 3 was the last fighting game I learned well enough to be competent against the AI. Half the battle was knowing how to ration your moves so that you were doing them for the first time against the boss. If you did them a couple of times before that you'd just get countered instantly. Killer Instinct on home consoles was terrible for this.

Technically there's a mod for that on PC but I didn't use it because I like how aggravating SAM can be. I like MEA with mods much more than the launch version I played, but all the wasted potential drags this game down. I'm not blaming it for killing the franchise though, because it was ME3 that set up the kill.

I wish GTA 5 was a bit better in telling me what of the 8% of the game I didn't do was. I'm not a completionist by nature, but a "you haven't played in ages, this is one of the things you didn't do" would be nice. What's the last amount of hobbies, for example?

People get so mad at this boss but it's easy because: 1) When the boss is flinging stuff at you, forcing you to look at it to attack it, you don't need to move, just bounce the poo poo back. 2) When it's attacking you by smashing the ground, forcing you to move, you don't need to be looking at it and can instead look where you're going to not fall down a pit. So you're either not moving, or you're not looking at the boss.

Yeah you pretty much have to look up what's required: https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/100%25_Completion_in_GTA_V I think the Rockstar Games Social Club website/profile will tell you what's left, though. That also makes 100% a completely meaningless metric except for achievement hunters because it doesn't really correspond with either your story or completionist progress (unlike games that either count "do all the story missions" or "do all the optional content and pick up every single collectible").
