ImpAtom posted:That is what makes something like Hades work though. It's well designed enough that basically any combination of Gods and Weapons can create something incredibly powerful so it's nearly impossible to screw yourself. By making sure everything is potentially game breaking they avoid runs doing that. Well "everything is incredibly powerful" is what I would call "balanced", but that doesn't describe my experience with the game. I definitely had some runs with such absurdly powerful builds that it made the game kind of boring and mindless, and others where my build was so completely failing to come together that I'd just quit rather than keep trying to slog through.

Likewise. There are some combos that make you completely godlike (get it? godlike? cause you're a... ok i'll stop) and others that are totally underwhelming. Honestly, if they added some DLC gods and new adventures, I'd hop back on in two seconds. But while the first 2 levels are always pretty fun, Elysium has me wanting to pull out my own teeth due to the spongy enemies. Just because i can beat them doesn't mean i want to spend 3X the amount of time hit-and-running and striking armored enemies from the back a million times. Fortunately, I played a ton while in Early Access so when they finally dropped the 1.0 I was able to clear out the rest of the story pretty quickly.

Mad Max,i love the fact that i’m blasting round the wastes in my super apocalyptic car,waving around my three barrelled shotgun that sounds like a bomb going off every time i fire it,blowing up wasteland trash and then every once in a while stopping to give stragglers a drink from my water flask like a confused jesus. Also this game loving rules and i so want a Judge dredd game like this.

I'm not particularly familiar with Dredd - does he do a lot of hand to hand or is it all just gun stuff

There's been a fair few big name franchised budget games that have been way better than you'd expect the past few years. Terminator Resistance is another good budget title that oozes the love the devs had for the source material, and I enjoyed the story as whack rear end timeloop shenanigans own.

Basically replace Max with Dredd,keep the blasted wasteland,add motorbikes and a multi-ammo pistol,the rest is good to go. Brazilianpeanutwar has a new favorite as of 04:32 on Aug 16, 2021 |

Also enable the controller mic so you can give voice commands to the gun

Maybe Dredd gets stripped of his authority somehow and exiled to the wasteland, and has to like fight to reclaim his honor? I dunno, just a thought, could be an interesting space to explore

The Lone Badger posted:Doesn't he lack jurisdiction in the Cursed Earth? In Judge Dredd: Mega-City Zero, Dredd randomly gets teleported to a field, sees some kids attacking someone, arrests them, then asks them where the nearest jail is so he can take them there. I don't think he cares much. WirelessPillow posted:Where does the jurisdiction of a man who proclaims "I am the law" truly end? I really like the different inflection Urban puts on the phrase. Sly puts too much emphasis on the I am, making him sound almost egotistical about it. A petty man shouting to quell his ego. Urban just plainly states the fact that he is the walking embodiment of LAW. SpaceCommie has a new favorite as of 11:10 on Aug 16, 2021 |

I have another moment in Witcher 3. At one point you stumble into a mansion whose magic security goes haywire, and one of the traps is a series of monster summons. After the third wave had a werewolf (very strong, constantly regenerate health) I was groaning inwardly thinking “what the hell is next?” Out pops a cow. They could have just not summoned anything else but they put in a dumb joke, which got a good laugh out of me.

Kinda felt like stealing tbh, I didn’t remember seeing any just chilling just in the wild. It’d be pretty hilarious if cows were also high level enemies like bears that could take on a whole mob of nekkers singlehandedly.

Can’t tell if the dream Judge Dredd game would be the story where the crosses the Cursed Earth and contends with McDonalds and Burger King warriors in the Fast Food Wars, or if it would be better as a Cyberpunk 2077 thing where you explore Mega City One. Either way it’s a great comic with lots of material

With each death/arrest, you find out about more things that are illegal and the aim is to go through an entire day without committing a crime.

Young rookie Judge that you can decide on to be by the book or corrupt. Though the problem is that every corrupt action has a chance of drawing the attention of Dredd. He can't be stopped, can't be killed, and will permakill your character the first chance he gets.

You can't really do an open world game with a character that is incredibly strictly lawful like Dredd. He doesn't do side jobs, doesn't cause mayhem, and busting small time purse snatches would get old fast. I'm thinking a Max Payne like structure would work best.

Robot in Zathura (PS2) is fun to play as. He has little comic-book style sound effect word balloons for a few of his attacks, and if he drops from a large height he does the superhero crouch landing, which sticks one of his claws in the ground so he has to slowly wrench it out before continuing. It's very charming. Also because he has both guns and strong melee attacks it makes him feel so much more powerful than the kids which is appropriate. I've got to the first boss fight.

The same Judge Dredd that nuked Future Russia and killed literally billions of people? That one?
