Samuringa posted:can't say I ever expected the very first Mafia game to get a remake Okay that makes things more interesting. I like Mafia 1 but in that Witcher 1 way where I can’t exactly call it good but I can say I enjoy it, but that’s not really enough to buy it again (again). Need to watch this though.

A friend of mine has thousands of shortcuts on their desktop, but all hidden. Their computer runs like garbage but I can't tell if it's this inexplicable decision or some other inexplicable decision that's causing it.

No Wave posted:Timed doors do not substitute for the scrolls which are mandatory to fully collect beat the game past BC1. Timed doors just give you some equipment that doesn't matter, they are a fluff mechanic. Doesn't the game still scale up enemies based on the number of scrolls you've collected? There was actually a point where enemy scaling outpaced that of diminishing-returns scroll boosts meaning you actually wanted to stop at a certain number of scrolls. that used to be a thing in beta and launch, I haven't played it since then.

That no longer happens. Enemies now don't scale at all with the scrolls you have picked up, fundamentally meaning that they are scaled assuming that you collect every scroll and if you miss many you are hosed.

The new Viking AssCreed has me intrigued. But I haven’t played an AssCreed since like the second Ezio game and I hear the hidden blade isn’t even a thing anymore. What exactly are these games now? Just generic loot RPGs? Do they still have the dumb modern day conceit with Templars?

having been kicking around assassin's creed origins for the past week or two, my main comparison would actually be witcher 3 by way of metal gear solid 5, of all things. wander around a map picking up quests, come across outposts, paint all your targets using your binoculars (eagle), sneak around shanking all their kidneys to clear them out, maybe hit a bunch with tranq darts, repeat

Hwurmp posted:You're impossible to kill, but your only offense power is Combat Focus so it gets pretty goddamn repetitive well that's why I thought the survival mode stuff might be cool, if you need to actually worry about having weapons to use (as well as the other issues it adds) it might make encounters more tense, and maybe something you want to actively avoid like in the early game the typhon powers basically make you invincible by the late game, you can farm Nightmares by stunning and spamming them with mind zaps, which is a shame because there's zero tension at that point also no hacking! it's useful but in a speedrun kind of way, it just lets you get around solving lil puzzles or finding access codes as you go through the story. You're rarely getting into things you wouldn't have been able to otherwise, which isn't very cyberpunk

So Origins is my perfect game? Huh. My one hang up with a Vikings AC is that while Origins and Odyssey cover classic civilizations, Vikings and their communities were just villages? But it will scratch that Skyrim rugged Nordic environment itch.

I remember that in addition to having to obey traffic laws in the original Mafia, you’d also get into trouble for brandishing a firearm in public. This was fine if you carried concealable weapons like pistols, but would be an issue for larger guns like the Tommy gun or bolt action rifle.

luxury handset posted:i really appreciated that in LIS you had magical time bending powers but in LIS:BTS your super power was being the most seventeen year old teen on the planet Those really aren't spoilers since they're described as core gameplay mechanics in promotional literature. The original Life is Strange games benefit from being episodic adventures stories where you develop a deep connection to the characters, the locations, and the town itself is practically a character. The 'powers' in each game suffer from being used as a central part of driving the story in terms of the player's choices but in LiS as a gameplay mechanic that seemed more wasted potential then anything else. Being able to re-do a decision/choice based game events without save scumming is a great idea but it diminishes the impact of the choices and outcomes. If you don't get invested in the game as a whole you sort of go through it without really connecting emotionally or personally to any of the choices since the "fix-it" button was always an option and you aren't dealing with the later effects of a decision you made that had immediate and dramatic consequences. I'm thinking about buying Life is Strange 2, but reading through the game thread (which ironically was maybe 12-15 regular posters several of who have been perma'd since then) paints a pretty clear picture that while the core idea is the same it takes a very different approach to the narrative improving in many ways but losing a lot of the charm from the first game. Dontnod's next game has dropped the Life is Strange title so maybe they learned from it. I really can't praise enough how much I enjoyed LiS and Before the Storm. I haven't had a gaming experience like that in years and it'll probably remain as an all time great. pentyne fucked around with this message at 21:12 on May 13, 2020 |

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Did you actually play beyond Chapter 1? The game does play with that a fair bit. I did, I was more referring to certain things where you make a choice but the immediate outcome is wildly different then you expected. All the long term stuff that builds up like "X will remember this" or there's a consequence like 30 minutes later are much better as far as the story developing from the player's actions. Similar thing happens in BTS, but I was stuck with the lovely outcome and just ran with it rather then save scumming because the game plays out more like a visual novel or show where the decision effects are more significant to the experience then getting the optimal route (like you could try for in LiS). pentyne fucked around with this message at 21:29 on May 13, 2020 |
