aceface posted:I started Riders Republic with the demo and wound up liking it enough to buy. In spite of the extreme sports that it consists of, it's actually a very relaxing game to play and chill out to. There's not much of a sense of urgency and you can do whatever the heck you want at your own pace. Fun game. Yeah I fully agree with everything you said. The mass races are damned fun but apart from that it would be a better single player game than anything else. I'm mostly a single player game-liker anyways though so that works for me for the most part. But it is surprising how little multiplayer adds to the experience apart from a way for Ubisoft to completely prevent pirating.

Online multiplayer is a crime against god. Man was never meant to face off against enemies that he could not potentially lock eyes with.

Yeah I can't really tell if I'm seeing NPCs, ghosts, or actual online players when i see someone fly past me on a trail, but the fact that i have no obligation to interact with them really makes for a chill experience. An online lobby system similar to what GTA online has for their multiplayer events would be really cool though.

They had that one where a parent was complaining to Microsoft when their son got banned (after spending hundreds of dollars on Xbox!!!). The reply was "your son was exposing himself on camera in Uno". There was no followup.

Wow Deathloop thanks for teaching me the super new concept of "menus" I would have been super confused otherwise. Also for fucks sake I have a high dpi mouse let me set my mouse sensitivity lower because apparently 0 isn't low enough. gently caress. Why the gently caress can't FPSes figure this poo poo out by now?

I almost quit deathloop because of how often the game froze progress to slowly give you a tutorial on how to press a button For idiotic tutorials it's by far the worst offender of any game I've ever played by a wide margin

imo if you're going to have a super hand-holding tutorial that includes laboriously explaining the most basic functionality of playing a video game, then you should also have a prompt for the user to declare "this is not my first video game" and skip most of it.

I feel this way about most RPGs at this point. I don't need to be told to hit the ice goblin with a fireball even tiny idiot babies can figure that out on their own.

The newest God of War game was visually stunning and did some very cool world building and storytelling. That being said the gameplay was total poo poo. The mobs and bosses were repetitive and every battle felt like a thoughtless lazy roadblock. About 8 hours into the game I quit and watched the remainder of the dialogue/cutscenes on YouTube. Far more enjoyable experience than continuing to slog through the rest. People liked this game because they liked the idea of the game, not because it was a good game. It catered to the lowest common denominators of gamers and their inability to fall prey to hype mentality.

This post could have been made after the release of every God of War game: shallow as gently caress combat and gameplay (GET READY FOR MORE PUSH PUZZLES), somewhat interesting world-building and pretty (for the time) set pieces.

God of War was great and I loved it, but it would've been better if there were no menial mobs to fight. Mass mob battles that are interesting, or just bosses. Really loved it tho, sorry.

I loved the God of War games for the same reasons that I loved Face Off. Sometimes entertainment doesn't need to be deeply emotionally fulfilling

I found the worst article about video games to ever exist and now I feel sick https://www.fandom.com/articles/skyrim-dungeons-dragons-dnd "If You Love ‘Skyrim’, You’ll Love D&D. Here’s Why!"

The part that makes me feel sick is imagining the kind of person who loves Skyrim so much that they would put together a D&D group and then surprise everyone with an announcement that they will be playing a Skyrim-themed campaign, and would then probably want to run the same campaign over and over for 10 years.

The worst parts are tutorials that are completely unrepresentative of the rest of the game and don't actually teach you anything useful. I think it came up somewhere recently that the mandatory tutorial for Driver 1 is the hardest part of the game.

There are many, many games and analytics in games showing that people will not read tutorials and then will complain the game never told them how to do [x] where that is something unique about the game. One of the fastest evolving parts of games currently is how do you communicate to players the rules of the title so they actually internalize them. Edit: easy example is the people with hundreds of hours in fallout 3/nv/4 who did not know the pip boy works as a flashlight despite that being in both the tutorial and in loading screen tooltips

Another example is FFXIII where the game even tells you the atb trick in tutorial but people act like it hides that and how multiple of the same role stack or that SAB maintains the stagger gauge just like a commando does. Or Doom 5 where people didn't know the chainsaw last pip constantly regenerates over time and provides all ammo types, which is close to the very first tutorial in the game so you can't even blame the game on burning you out with tips at that point. I guess my summary is people, generally, don't want to learn how to play a game and then will complain when you force them to do so, but the amount of people who complain about the mandatory learning is massively less detrimental than the people who would be completely lost and angry your game sucks because they didn't know how to actually play since they didn't bother learning it if you didn't have forced tutorials

All games should have mandatory tutorials, and should force everyone go play on a level called EASY the first time, only to find out there are no harder levels to unlock.

FF13 is a bad example though because anyone still playing final fantasy games by that point had severe brain damage

We need to go back to the days where if you beat the game on Easy mode, you just get a message in plain text saying "Good job! But to see the ending you need to play on Normal!".

No, you beat the second-to-last level on Easy mode and then it just says "screw you pal you don't even get to finish the game until you replay from the beginning on a harder difficulty!"

Beat the game on Ultra Hard and it just laughs at you and mocks you for being a loser. Beat it on easy and it mocks you because what was even the point? Any other difficulty it accuses you of being a dirty centrist and to pick a side.

Pass a law that every souls-like has to be rereleased with a Difficulty option at the start of a new game, there are options for Hard, Normal, and "extra easy, literally for little babies with no motor control" but Hard and Normal are permanently greyed out and are impossible to unlock because they don't actually do anything

Make the easiest difficulty ultra hard and ramp up from there. Not the actual difficulty, just the names. Watch people inexplicably bemoan their work schedule and parenting duties in response.

Imagine being such a broken person that you want your entertainment to be hard. Just go play soccer or basketball or whatever if you want to put in actual effort lmao smhd. e: The best game for difficulty levels was UFO: Enemy Unknown because there were four or five levels to select, but they all were 100% the same.
