If you're playing each level one time in hitman you gotta be missing like, 90% of the game

your loss tbh, the DS2 DLCs are the best souls content ever made and the rest of the game is at least better than 1.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Usually an enemy type doesn’t follow the exact same scripted path and does nothing against you at all. I like Hitman don’t get me wrong, but each level is a one and done for me and it blows that the fun toys are held back for the 50th time through. I don't understand one and done with Hitman. Learning the intricacies of the levels and taking the targets down in different ways using that knowledge IS that game IMO. That first hit is just the warmup.

the adaptability stat alone in dark souls 2 immediately drops that game into dead last when ranked amongst from's other souls games. then you add the lackluster bosses, horrible level design and extremely inconsistent visuals which only further drop it down below to terrible souls-like wannabe tier.

Dark Souls 2 is directed by two directors that have never done anything of note before that game and it clearly shows.

The Lone Badger posted:Now the Hitman and Dark Souls discussions are merging. It's true though. If you kill a target once and move on there is SO MUCH stuff you're missing. It's like if in Dark Souls you could just go down into the cauldron and kill the end boss right from when you first land in Firelink. Like yeah, you beat the game, but you only experienced a tiny fraction of it. Go off and explore the other places and the other things you can do in the game because there's still most of the game out there.

AfricanBootyShine posted:Is Dead Cells still exclusively being developed for its hardcore audience? I remember enjoying it when it just came out of EA, and when I picked it up a couple years later it felt waaaaaay more difficult. Like they tuned it for the most hardcore of fans. They did some stuff to make the game more accessible recently.

The only Souls game I played was 1 and I thought that was fine enough. No one's made a convincing enough case for or against to continue with the others aside from Bloodborne, and that one took me several attempts to get into it until my friend stuck with me and then I ended up getting the platinum for it (it was pretty fun, aside from a few situations).

Is Wolfenstein: The Old Blood not very good or just makes a bad first impression? After escaping your cell, you have to deactivate a dozen or more supersoldiers one by one. There's no skill involved, you just turn off their power supply when no one's looking and then move on to the next one or to the nearest gate. It's slow and plain boring.

Dark Souls 2 is probably my favorite Souls game (that just got overtaken by Elden Ring this year) and while the DLCs had some amazing highs they also had some all-time series lows IMO. FromSoft always likes to go more hardcore in the DLC and while I overall enjoyed Dark Souls 1 and 2 DLC, Ringed City was just too sadistic for me to enjoy and finish  A shame because I really wanted to fight Gael.

Jack Trades posted:You really don't understand what Hitman games are about. It's not a stealth action game where you shoot a guy in the face and then run away. I fully understand what it’s about. I don’t replay puzzle games. Once I can solve the puzzle, what’s the point of proving that I already know how to solve it? It’s not like I charge in and rush the targets either, I learn the map, pick a route, then make the kill. I just don’t do it again and again.

if you don't have any interest in interacting with the environments, objects, npc schedules and playing the levels to find out about all of these things to do next time, in the service of finding and executing various elaborate assassinations, then i don't understand why Hitman would be compelling at all. The games probably last like 3-4 hours as action-combat games and none of the "enemies" that will be the main content are designed to be engaging to that degree. It's like you're playing a kind of lovely game that looks pretty nice. Maybe sort of worth it if it's free

Wolfenstein's 2014 remake was good but every entry since that was just worse and worse It's a shame, since the first game proved they knew how to do it well, and then the quality eroded and eroded until we fell off a cliff into repeatable daily quests, microtransactions and having to constantly switch bullet types because this Nazi resists shotgun shells but not SMG rounds for no good reason

I dont think ive uninstalled the game since i bought it.

Some bloodborne chalice dungeons have bell ringing women that summon infinite spiders that aggro from clear across the dungeon layer. if you go afk by the lantern and the door to the layer has been opened then you’ll lose all your echoes as the spiders path to you from miles away lol

The Chalice Dungeons were uniformly awful. A lot of the bosses there sucked as well.
