I would really like a toggle in Stellaris to tell the computer that making a claim on any of the Inward Perfection xenophobes means in ten years I'm going to liberation war them for the third time and they should just stop doing that. "Surely this time the psionic monks who've destroyed us twice and hold us in utter contempt will fall before the might of our fleet that gets soundly routed by the death-fortress they built on our borders." seems like the kind of plan you'd eventually stop trying.

Ah, I have a launch PS4 where you really can’t get it to read at more than 200MB/s even if you jam an SSD in there, so it’d probably be painful. I’ll just wait a year for the inevitable PC port.

FF7R load times aren't terrible but there are also plenty of slow climbing between walls sequences to mask additional load screens. It's noticeable but far from the worst I've seen.

I want to be clear, I'm still having a blast playing the game and getting my rear end kicked and swapping out my Materia to pummel them next round now that I know better. But boy howdy, as I play more the definition between party members and the background starts making the game look like a mod. Like you're playing GMOD and you've added Phantom Pain Big Boss into it. I gasped when I saw a pot in a kitchen that was mostly hexagons instead of properly being round.

swear to god RDR2 just straight up shuts off mechanics that it's kept pointing out in the open world for the past 60 hours if it wants you to play a mission The Correct Way. I can offer no proof but I'm willing to bet something mildly substantial on it.

I thought it was cool from a "this must have cost millions of dollars" standpoint but Hellblade essentially did the same exact thing a year earlier and it was more thematically relevant.

Even MGSV isn't immune to stuff like that, e.g. it's both adorable and aggravating when you crawl around in perfect stealth but your dog pal is just happily trotting along beside you in full armor, and nobody notices a drat thing.

He's just a dog.  One of the many reasons why the dog is the best companion in Far Cry New Dawn is that you can tell him to walk directly into an enemy base and he'll tag everyone inside without them reacting to him, because he's just a dog. It's actually kind of a bummer that they made all those other companions who presumably have interesting personalities and abilities and whatnot, but I never wanted to go without the dog's ability to highlight enemies and crafting materials through walls.

If you saw a dog with armor, a ballistic face mask and a knife would YOU want to gently caress with it?

I got stuck on a boss fight in Control and instead of trying to look up how to beat it I tried to look up how to make the game less red. I find myself stopping to mess with the graphics settings every 15 minutes or so just to try to tell what is happening.

I really wish the companion from New Eden had been one of their tamed cougars instead of the brainwashed protagonist of base FC5 who never talks, since the roster of fangs for hire is really lacking the sneaky archetype filled by cats in previous games.

Jesus Christ, Rockstar is really trying to make moral choices in RDR2 based purely on esoteric interface skill checks. Not only is "start asking if they need help" mapped to the same button as "aim at head" (and plenty of people complained about that already), "stop the horse to listen to the stranger" becomes "decline help and lock yourself out of this story chain with an instant autosave" if you don't let go of the left trigger fast enough. It's as if the Housers watched some GDC talks about making the evil path the easier one mechanically and weren't sure what that meant

Ring Fit Adventure continues to be the only reason I'm in any kind of shape but about halfway through the main adventure it gets allergic to letting you just jog. I just now finished a session with over an hour of movement time and less than one mile jogged. It's annoying, I just want to chill out and run to advance the story a little but every 50 feet it's like TIME TO DO SQUAT BLASTERS TIL YOU poo poo Also I don't like how this game thinks that squats in general are the easiest thing ever. I have two attacks of the same tier that do about the same damage, one is doing 22 overhead wide squats, the other is doing jazz hands for ~30 seconds. There's a stark loving difference in respective difficulty of these two sets, Nintendo! And gently caress the squat cart. I don't even mind riding a cart powered by squats, but when it limps uphill two inches for every squat I want to kill myself.

My first workout i had the difficulty up too high and picked squats and oops, that's 25 squats in a row and j went from 0 squats a day to 25 at once and had to take three days of breaks for my legs to feel normal again.

Oh for sure, I appreciate how often its gameplay decisions skew towards fun/streamlining things at the expense of realism. Just a few of the biggest ones bug me a bit when they obviously break it, if I think too much. But this is a reality where everyone ignores mobile rocket hands flying around and decking people, I can just accept it.

Ugly In The Morning posted:My joycon’s stick’s thumbpad bent from me taking it out of the case. The joycons are so fragile I can’t imagine using it like that. Yeah it's bonkers and it feels like a weird choice to use them that way rather than a complete custom accessory (although that'd probably screw up the price and demand even more). I feel kinda bad that I have a copy that's sitting idle because I don't want to risk the controllers right now, but I also don't completely want to pawn it off right now.
