I just threw on the Killzone 3 demo on PS3 out of interest, it still looks absolutely incredible for a game on that system. I wonder how much (if any) of the snow and fabric stuff went in to Horizon?

killzone 2 and 3 are among the greatest games ever made purely for their awesome multiplayer. kz2 objectively looks better despite it's more drab color palette. digital foundry has a great retrospective on kz2, the infamous pre-rendered gameplay trailer, and a bunch of other cool details about the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC-hiXr69kY

Yeah I’ve watched that video a ton, it’s great. I ordered KZ2 for like €4 on eBay there today. I made it a whole month into my “no games resolution”

I bought Bloodborne a year or two ago, got up to Vicar Amelia and got stuck, and eventually moved on to other games. Today I booted it back up, ran around Old Yharnam a bit to remember the controls, then beat her into the ground first try

Hilarious and rarely-known fact: it's not called the blood-starved beast for nothing. It you throw a pungent blood cocktail, it will drop anything it's doing to chase after the thing and lick at it.

the bloodstarved beast is very scary, it yells at you in a stressful way. then you learn that it can be defeated in a very not stressful way. i know theres lots of pithy git gud comments but this one is real. you really can just strafe left and beat BSB without getting hit. and yes you need to attack. although it would be funny if there was a boss that just died from being annoyed.

There is, although it's not in Bloodborne. You can absolutely bait the Dragonrider into killing himself by dropping off the edge of the arena you fight him in. It's not even a glitch like it is when you do that to Ceaseless Discharge.

The Ceaseless Discharge thing isn't a glitch, it has a unique animation of him stumbling and holding on then falling to his death.

I didn't say he was intended to fall off, just that he easily can. It took a bit of maneuvering the last time I played the game, so I'm assuming the navmesh for the area isn't completely unable to handle that, just mostly. I would've sworn that Discharge was a glitch, though. It just seemed like such a weird thing to happen. Learn something new every day.

Finished Ghostrunner. Awesome game. I guess I unlocked a hard mode now lol. That was one of the harder games I have played on normal. Overall my only major complaints are that 1. Only saving between levels absolutely sucks. Felt like I was forced to play longer than I wanted to a few times just so I didn't lose a bunch of progress. Also, I am usually the type of person to complain about games these days being too automated, but I think GR could benefit from some more automation. The controls and platforming are extremely tight but there are just some areas where you have to worry more about aiming than you should have to. Most notably the grapple points and rails. Other than that it was super addictive and fun. Probably would have made its way into my top games list for last year if I had played it earlier. Looking forward to just casually replaying stuff without the pressure of finishing the game. I feel like I could style on some areas I died a ton of times on now.

Wow, yeah, that's actually really impressive. From that perspective, it's really obvious that they clearly put a lot of effort into making that an optional special kill, but you can barely tell that any of this happening while you're playing.

Akuma posted:Thats the wrong way round, Dragonrider isn't intended to fall off it's just bad pathing because it only happens if you don't raise the circles around the arena, which people are unlikely to not do because it also makes it really easy to get knocked off yourself. This reminds me of how I beat oceiros, he got caught in some of the terrain and i was able to stab his pasty rear end.

rabidsquid posted:although it would be funny if there was a boss that just died from being annoyed. There used to be. Later in the game where you find Eileen the crow resting on the steps outside the building you fought Amelia in? There's a hunter boss in there (or depending on earlier decisions you might fight Eileen instead, either ways it's optional) and the weapon he uses will inflict self damage until he heals. He was broken for quite a while however and you could just walk back down the steps and he'd chase without bothering to heal himself and eventually just bleed out without you needing to do anything except walk close enough for him to start attacking you. He would always try to return to the actual arena where he would heal himself if he did, but all you had to do was take a couple steps forward to re-aggro him and he'd be stuck in a loop with you just stepping back and forth as he bled out. They later patched it so he wouldn't pursue players as far and would heal himself more regularly. You can kinda still employ the same tactics however but more to get cheap hits in than have him bleed out. If you ever want to get all the weapons in the game you need to fight him. Edit: There's also the hunter gunner on that small tower that you could get to suicide by dodging just right and he'd jump to his death. The real pain was wandering around afterwards trying to find his bloodstain and get his gear. SUNKOS fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Feb 2, 2021 |

I always thought that it's because Monster Hunter World tries to make hunts actually feel a bit like hunting instead of just like boss fights, and most of that is waiting and figuring out where you even need to go in the first place.

But either way, it’s the fighting that’s the fun part to me and they deliberately take it away several times during each hunt. It’s just not the game for me.

Yeah, fair point, I had almost forgotten about that. I was thinking more of the part where you have to find tracks and such for the game to show you a monster's location, but the constant running-away and having to chase the monster down again is probably the single most annoying part of the game. It really doesn't add anything except for giving some kind of justification to hunts having a time limit, because without that, you'd never realistically reach it.

You can ride monsters that will bring you to your hunt target on their own and you can buff and sharpen on said mount. That was added with iceborne and is probably a qol feature that goes forward.

Monster Hunter is what if Diablo but about 20x slower with long load screens, unforgiveable for a pure action game imho.
