I am playing SotN for the first time ever and I am not enjoying it. The massive knockback after getting hit by anything and lack of iframes after taking damage is a combination that has really not aged well, and it's taking all the fun out of it. Probably doesn't help that I'm playing it on mobile with touchscreen controls. I try with a Bluetooth controller later to see if it's better I guess. |

Persona 5 Royal : My Cat Isn't Letting Me Sleep, Again. And there's a new girl. So far the quality of life improvements are real good - being able to see what Confidants are available and close to upgrading is a time-sizer.

The controls and combat are great, but learning the mechanics and finally getting to the point where I was a contender did nothing for me emotionally. I was totally checked out of the game and it had the least impact on me anything From has made since before Demon Souls.

food court bailiff posted:in a soulsborne game getting to a new boss is generally an exciting opportunity for a cool fight with something challenging I'd agree with that. When I figured out how to take out a souls boss, even if I had been cursing for the last hour, dying, running back and immediately dying, running back, dying, running back, dying, by the end of it when I won I'd let out a triumphant cheer and feel all the aggravation wash away. Soulsborne games were 90% exploring, figuring out lore and playing dress up, and 10% the initial awe at some crazy boss then the rush after finally winning, but the rush was still there. In Sekiro, when I figured out Genichiro for example, my response was to go "finally" while still feeling kind of annoyed. When I finished the game I let out a big ol "finally", rolled my eyes, skipped the Demon of Hatred entirely because ugh why, uninstalled and kind of grumbled to myself that this game meant I would probably have to wait another few years for From to make something new I was actually down with. ---------------- |

Still playing Morrowind! The main quest is on hold while I check out Solstheim and the Bloodmoon expansion. First impressions: wow the enemies here are a lot tougher than they are on Vvardenfell, if I didn't have Stormforge (which is a pretty nasty weapon in its own right and which Supreme Magicka makes even nastier with its changes to the Lightning Shield effect) I might have to give up and come back later!Heather Papps posted:i think i still have wolfenstein 3d on my ancient ipod touch Turn-based stuff is generally ok as long as the penalty for the occasional missed tap isn't too high (i.e. not roguelikes or stuff like demoncrawl). But SotN requires a lot of high-speed precision input just to play normally, and was designed on the assumption that you have eight buttons (and the d-pad) available at all times. I don't know how you'd even try to cast the spells (which involve lengthy button combos). TOOT BOOT posted:Pretty sure the iOS port can use controllers. It can! They weren't using one though. |

this brings up a broader videogame discussion point i think a lot about: in a lot of games where you control a "CHARACTER" there is an insane level of disconnect between gameplay behaviour and their personality, etc. gta tried a few tactics here, from claude being basically a non character, to cj being "in character" no matter the circumstance, and in 5 they literally gave you 3 dudes so you can try and still be like "well this guy i like and he mostly drives, and has a dog" and "this guy is mentally ill and an addict and stuff, but VERY violent, but it's okay" gta4 gave niko a strong singular characterization, provided justification for his combat skills and blase attitude towards life and death in a reasonable way, but by strongly defining the character clearly some people aren't going to like it. it's a weird as poo poo thing, like how in fallout 4 they wanted you to have power armor from the start, so you don't make a character anymore, you are an ex military guy, so you have power armor training. and a wife. and a kid. and a story that you should care about, but don't.

a cool detail in gta 4 was that if you were driving and listening to the radio and roman or little jacob or whomever called you, your radio would do this little "brrb brrb" noise seconds before the phone rang. cell phones used to do that, i don't think they do anymore (interfere with wireless amplification) a child (actually an 18+, it's a game rated M after all) playing the game today would likely not understand |

also i finished the outer worlds, its ok but it just made me want to play fallout 4 again it starts off good but monarch is way, way too big and dumps all the sidequests on you at once, so yeah i also got to the point where i just wanted it to be over i also think i messed up the first area by siding with the hippies and closing the cannery instead of getting them to work together then once all the sidequests are done i reached max level and had all the best gear, so suddenly there was no point to looting and i just rushed the last quest and almost one shot the final boss who is literally only introduced as an antagonist in the last two quests i also worked out that whats wrong with it, is that it feels like what would happen if microsoft made a version of fallout. its very shiny and presentable and user friendly but it just feels empty somehow |

Heather Papps posted:this brings up a broader videogame discussion point i think a lot about : That's why GTA3 was the best one imo, and the only one I actually completed, because I was invested in the character. And that character was just a blank slate, you projected your own wants and desires into it. It was an actual avatar. Playing as Nico or CJ or any of those guys, the game would sometime punish you for not adhering to their character. I don't mind games with a scripted lead if they're well written (they usually aren't), but I much prefer a mute player character that I can play as me, as I like, with well written NPCs/supporting cast. |

Open world games do so much better when you can roleplay with the character. If you want to tell a story, then by all means have a deep character but giving a character a back story and the play a lot of choice just seems counter intuitive. Games try too hard to be two things open world and story driven. They are two very different types of games and I don't think either group is all that satisfied with current gen games. I recently played a bit of Pathfinder Kingmaker and that game gives you so much choice while providing world building. There's well defined NPCs and yeah you're a bit railroaded with your 5-6 dialog options but I can just pick the one that kind of does what I want. Okay I have to pick a direction I'm pissed at this dude because this guy has low int and of course doesn't realize it's a trick. So let's lead the party into a trap in a bullheaded run. You want to have a cinematic experience? Okay you can make a game designed around being a character but the game should be more on rails if you want to tell a story. If it's open world each player is getting a different story that just doesn't work out. Your vision is to make money on buzz words if you want a deep backstory for the character and freedom of choice. (might actually be my main problem with Witcher, it tries to be open world with a character I don't want to RP as, I'd love to have him as an NPC companion though). There's nothing wrong with liking both types of games, but a game should try and lean more into one or the other and stop trying to middle road everything. I was never really into the GTA games after they went 3D (GTA2 is still a great game). My brother was always really into them but finds the character back stories tedious so he doesn't play them anymore. GTA always seems like a go do dumb stuff don't care about the story, like Postal. It shouldn't have a plot it should just be fun. I mean you need the token bare bones plot but just enough that there's some end goal reason you are doing it. pixaal fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Apr 3, 2020

Look at this dummy with his dummy opinions. I am enjoying this game more now that I realize it's meant to be played like the NES games rather than the DS games. It's slow and chunky and deliberate, and expects you to be good at it, or it punishes you for being bad. It's not like Super Metroid at all where you can just run and gun through stuff and only die at boss fights. It reminds me a lot of Dark Souls tbh Playing it with a controller helps too

I think Rockstar did a good job balancing Arthur's character and story in RDR2 (I never played RDR1 so don't know or really care about his backstory. There's enough exposition in RDR2 to get by). He's got enough personality to be like you're playing an authored character, but he's quiet enough that you can feel like it's you playing in the world. I'm still slowly chewing through that game, it's very beautiful, but there's soooo much to do and explore you almost never interact with the main quest. I started deliberately railroading the main plot just to advance it along since I was still at the second camp after who knows how long in-game months/years of play. They got the characters really right, but the extreme open world aspect means you never really interact with them. |
