N:A's biggest problem was the difficulty. Normal was too easy by far, and Hard was too hard in a way that wasn't interesting and more or less just made you dodge spam.

KingSlime posted:Also, I thought the action was kind of just bad in nier automata. I can't explain it since it was competent on a technical level and in theory mixing melee w shooting should be rad. It was just boring and I never once cared for blasting endless robots during my entire playthrough. I stuck it through for the story which ended up being pretty mediocre and the soundtrack which was incredible agreed, i got one ending and couldn't stomach reaching another

Just finished mopping up Bioshock 1 and 2, and man they are still incredible games today! Both of them do kind of fall off at the end since you're kind of overpowered and you're no longer motivated to get ADAM or explore, and this was in hard mode with no Vita chambers on. I could imagine normal mode, standard options the difficulty just becomes meaningless barely halfway through. Also, the last bosses in both games feel lazy and uninspired but really minor flaws in otherwise incredible experiences Still, for the most part both games are excellent, with Bioshock 1 having better world building/ plot and BioShock 2 rocking superior polished gameplay. I'm really excited though, because as a huge bioshock plan I've never actually played Minerva's Den. Just the idea of having completely new unplayed bioshock 2 content is the coolest drat thing in the world especially because I've heard it's the best part of BioShock 2 From a video game point of view I would say I prefer 2 significantly more E: My favorite thing about replaying these games was blasting my enemies with clouds of angry bees, what a loving bad rear end plasmid. It is always a mainstay in my loadout even if there are other more optimal plasmids KingSlime fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Jul 20, 2022 |

I don't think I would have liked Nier: Automata half as much as I did if 2B's movement wasn't so drat SATISFYING. Like it was just enjoyable to dash and jump around the world in a way I can't put my finger on, other than "pleasing". I think it was the similar "ramping up to different running speeds", like Okami had. Okami was made by Clover Studios, and some of those folks moved on to make Platinum Games!

Nyoro posted:what about Infinite, bro I haven't replayed it in maybe five years, heard it doesn't run so great on switch so I might replay it on my PS5! I'll do a victory lap with it, but probably won't do the 1999 mode stuff even though I love that kind of stuff in the first two. Bioshock infinite has an excellent excellent atmosphere which it ends up not doing much with or delivering on. Gameplay wise it's fun but even more linear than the first two and there is little reason to explore. Then there's the end game lore stuff where you get into multiverse where it just feels sloppy! For these reasons, it's not as exciting for me to replay it, though it certainly still a fun shooter with a very cool/ unique atmosphere! I would rank in a notch below the first two in gameplay, but probably equal to the first in terms of the wow factor during your first playthrough I also haven't played infinite DLC campaign but I heard it was horrible and I heard it's going to make me hate the first two games somehow, which is an interesting proposition.

Oh yeah that looks decent, I may just play it on switch to round out the collection then and for the novelty. The draw distance stuff doesn't seem so hot but yeah, that looks like it's running okay Oh right! I remember now what made me not like the game play so much and downgrade to normal mode back in the day. It was the stupid siren boss fight, which they repeat multiple times. Fighting the big baddies has never felt great in Bioshock games but man that boss is just atrociously designed If I recall correctly, there's also a really lazy end game sequence without an actual boss. Man they just don't know how to close out a game do they? At least they seem to be aware that they are not good at the bosses thing KingSlime fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jul 20, 2022 |

Eh It's painless enough on normal mode and running around Columbia is always a visual treat at least. Though I do recall the locales getting less and less interesting toward the end

bushisms.txt posted:The mechanics are so easy for Bayonetta they literally let you do it at the beginning without saying a word. they don’t let you use wicked weaves (one of the core mechanics of the game) in the first chapter of bayonetta also there’s poo poo like dodge offsetting which the game never even explicitly tells you about that is incredibly important for doing well astral chain gives you a ton of room to just mash buttons and get away with it. you have a huge supply of healing items and no penalty for using them. the game freezes to tell you when to press the combo finisher button. your astral chain is always on semi auto pilot. you get S ranks by just pressing all the buttons. taking damage has no score penalty. you have multiple lives which can be refilled at no penalty. It is way easier and less punishing than Bayonetta Augus fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 20, 2022 |

bushisms.txt posted:The wicked weaves are just combo finishers, Dodge offsetting is something that you gain naturally and is little more than pressing a button before and after you dodge. And you're totally under selling astral chain, The character you control has three different weapons that you can switch through during combat at any time, you have five different robots that you can switch to at any time, The robots have alternate modes themselves that you can use and combo into/out of at any time, you can also cut the invisible strands connecting enemies limbs, breaking their attacks among other things, also has Dodge offset and more. And saying the robots are on auto pilot is on you, because at any time, you can actively tell them to do other attacks and other moves and it's majorly to your benefit to do this. Yes there is plenty of depth on Astral Chain, just like there is a ton of depth in Bayonetta. But it can also be a “just vibe an push buttons” game if you want it to be, just like Bayonetta. All I’m saying is that Normal mode in Bayonetta is probably more demanding than Normal in Astral Chain. Especially if you try to do some of the Alfheims.
