The cheat system in Doom Eternal is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of it. The game more or less encourages you to use them and replay levels, because you can still get collectables, finish challenges, and get profile points for finishing levels with cheats on. Some of the combos are just ridiculously fun, and it's real cathartic to blow through some of the harder encounters in the game without breaking a sweat, chainsawing with reckless abandon.

Might be worth giving it a shot to see if controlling it doesn’t cause the motion sickness, they’re both really great games.

Hrm, that makes an amount of sense. I've wondered why BL2 doesn't make me sick at all, but that did. However, Portal and Goat Simulator both make me incredibly ill within a half hour (of actually playing) that I had to lay down in a dark room for a while. ....I have pills for this but I've never gone back and tried the games after taking them. Ugly In The Morning posted:Is 2016 still a fiver? Might be worth giving it a shot to see if controlling it doesn’t cause the motion sickness, they’re both really great games. Honestly, due to all this going on, I couldn't pick it up if I wanted to. Got 3$ in the bank and a small pile of change at home. That is, I have plenty of food, and all my needs are met, I just don't have any room for Non-essentials. Plus one ear of my good turtle beach headphones is busted and I just don't feel I would be doing the same proper justice if I don't have adequate audio.

I just picked up Witcher 3, and I wanted to say that it's been quite a treat to have my horse do a pretty solid job of following the roads by himself. It makes getting around much less of a hassle than I normally find horse riding to be. I also like that the crafting and alchemy ingredients are weightless, so I don't have to stop myself from taking everything that isn't nailed down.

What are games where changing little more than a variable in the code improves the experience? There was that crummy Alien game where someone mispelt 'tether' as 'teather' which hampered the AI. Original Sin 2 is x100 times better with the mod that removes the exponential power scaling. Now your equipment lasts longer, you don't have to outfit every time you level up, the stat numbers are no longer silly, and fighting a foe that's a higher level is no longer suicide. Witcher 3 is improved by disabling the loading-screen recaps and cleaning the grime off the camera when you look at the sun.

Not quite the same thing, but XCom 2 had some really bad performance issues at launch (which still might be there), and if you pressed a certain button during the loading screen, it would load way faster.

Doom 2016 was incredibly boring.

Pocket Billiards posted:There was some bug in Stardew Valley that made certain loot drops far less frequent than intended. Something like the loot table array being indexed wrong iirc. One of the Monster Hunter games on 3DS (want to say it was MH4) had a bug regarding loot tables - essentially they were supposed to be refreshed every time you turned on the game, but a big made it so that they were generated once when you started new games and never again. Which would be weird but fine except that certain loot tables were demonstrably worse than others, including locking you put of some of the best charms in the game.

That reminds me of a bug in the original X-COM -- any time you loaded the game from save, it would reset the difficulty to the easiest difficulty. This lead to complaints that the game was too easy, even on the hardest difficulty...which lead to the sequel, Terror From The Deep, to be harder than the hardest difficulty on the original game after the bug had been fixed.

Some of the first Pokemon generation's problems that kinda fit here... - Ghost was supposed to be one of Psychic's two weaknesses, except they mistakenly set Ghost moves to do 0x damage to Psychics instead of 2x. - The move Focus Energy was supposed to increase critical hit rate. It instead lowered it. - Speaking of, critical rate was tied to Speed and was also four times higher than it was supposed to be. - While the actual damage of super-effective moves was calculated properly, the 'it's super-effective!' message only checked the target Pokemon's first type.

Speaking of Final Fantasy bugs, the ROMHack LP thread recently went on an FF4 randomizer binge, which included covering some of the many bugs in that game, e.g.
There's also stuff like, in the base game you can skip probably the worst dungeon in the game (the Sealed Cave) by casting Warp after the Dwarf Castle sequence. It'll take you back to the castle crystal room and you can grab the same crystal you would normally get from the Sealed Cave.

Seems a common issue in Final Fantasy games, great as so many of them are otherwise. Oh yeah. In FF1 Intelligence didn't work right so Red Mages had full power spells (where in theory they were supposed to have weaker spells compared to White/Black mages.) Critical damage was also broken so that physical attacks did way way way more damage than they should. FF2 on the NES let you level up stats (which normally are leveled up by performing an action) by simply CHOOSING the action and then cancelling it. In FF9 one of Steiner's attacks (Thunder Strike) has a hit rate of 0 which renders it basically worthless and even if it does hit (which involves being massively overleveled) it uses the wrong effect ("reduces enemy HP by 19%") instead of what was likely the intended effect (1.9 physical damage with an elemental thunder effect.) Mystic Quest has a hilarious bug where casting Cure on the final boss instantly kills him

Yeah, that was pretty silly. I know that the devs want to give a polished experience, but making the load times five times (or whatever) longer just so you can preload all the hidef textures for your base menu wasn't really worth it. At least they left the hidden option to skip them.

That one's completely intended though, for a bit there was a misunderstanding that Poise was broken because someone found that it was seemingly always 0 but it was pretty quickly debunked. Poise in DS3 is specifically a stat to stop your attacks from getting interrupted, rather than being the universal anti-flinch stat from the earlier games which allowed unstoppable Havel facetanking. It's by design always "zero" when you're not in the middle of an action, but having more of it means you can swing a greatsword without your attacks immediately getting interrupted by someone poking you with a dagger.

Dark Souls has a lot of weird meters, like the poison resistance meter - it's not a "You are getting poisoned" meter, it's a "You are running out of resistance to it" situation, it starts at a max number then you get poisoned when it hits Zero. It also automatically refills. Hence when putting equipment on with poison resistance, the meter shows up partially full and drains - you are actuall going from, like, 75 resistance to 100, so it has to fill the 25 point difference to the new max. It's something like that. Toxic and Insanity and other status effects in the franchise seem to work the same way.
