Rinkles posted:woah, your boss can only be a dude in the original saints row 1 It’s pretty funny finding that out and realizing that you can be a different gender entirely in 2 and people from 1 are just “hey did you change your hair or something?” when they see the Boss.

Took this gap in new game releases to recreate my old trapsin in Diablo II Resurrected. Capped things off by putting together an Enigma. Only took me about a month and a two-week bout with covid! So far in 2022 I have completed: Horizon Zero Dawn (PS5) Windjammers 2 Nobody Saves the World Returnal Horizon Forbidden West Elden Ring Demon's Souls (2020) Dark Souls 2 TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Stray Diablo II Resurrected Up Next: Who knows!!

Rinkles posted:woah, your boss can only be a dude in the original saints row 1 yeaaah saints row one was very much a different game compared to the sequel. Your character pretty much being sorta like Claude but has maybe three lines in the game. Its funny how your MCs last words were can we hurry this up i wanna go yo freckle bitches and bam boat blows up. Ah man the arguments back then people saying they either died or they survived and not knowing if it would get a sequel. Also to add to wafflespoint. People going oh new saints row is woke and im like did you forget 3 and 4 with the romance options. I think 3 russian female boss had a thing for Pierce. lol yeah i do like 4 pokes the fun about Jules and Keith David sound the same.

It’s a really cool Saint’s Row feature in general that choosing a voice is basically choosing an entirely different protagonist for your campaign, because all the the “proper” cutscene dialogue is the same no matter what but most of the in-mission stuff (like 20% of 2’s dialogue, 80% of 3/4 iirc) changes based on the voice. Also, was a weird choice for them to have “Nolan North” as a voice option in Saints Row 4, the game that had Troy Baker as White Guy Voice 1. Idk if they saw the irony.

I wanna say they put him cuz at the time every game had Nolan North so they said ah gently caress it put him in as well.

TheWorldsaStage posted:Mr. Sheffield hasn't done a voice since 2 I kinda get the impression 3/4 were on a tight budget since a chunk of the boss voices were people who were best known for doing anime/anime games compared to the celebrity pulls they had in 2 in general.

So far Saint's Row 1 is feeling like the worst bits of the series, with only hints of the good stuff. Plus the side activities are mandatory.

Once they ditched trying to be an exact GTA clone, it did wonders. Like yes the other games are GTA clonish (except 4, that felt more like crackdown), but SR1 was very much GTA as hell.

SR2 is the only one i really liked. i guess messing around in SR4 was kind of fun but SR2 actually could get at least semi-serious at some points and had really good cutscenes while by the time it hit SR4 it was wacky fun times all the way

I loved Gangster Saints and Puckish Rogue Saints. I will say the gang was what I loved the most, so that's the hurdle the new game has to jump with me. No Shaundi or Pierce makes me worried.

When they first said new direction I thought they meant mixing the dark and light moments like 2 again. This whole new crew thing...I'm hopeful it won't be middling and kill the series, that's all. I want to see the old guard again one day

I finished the main story again of Sony's Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man (on PS5, though the talk of the PC version got me to pick it back up). Still my favorite open world game, but what struck me this time is how much I actually enjoy the combat. Peter's got a variety of tools, aerial abilities, and web attacks to make it interesting, and there is usually some incentive to keep your combo up and experiment with your skills. It also looks cool as hell. The ending got me misty eyed again, and I'm excited for next year's (hopefully) sequel because of the teases about the villain. Harry will be Venom. I'd be surprised if Insomniac doesn't tone down the cop poo poo 100% in the sequel. I wonder if they'll make a cheeky reference to it. Given that I felt like the Miles game huffed its own farts a bit about how woke it was, I think they won't be able to help themselves.

The difficulty on the hardest setting is nice too, easy to die if you're just not even trying but you still feel super if you are dodging the spider sense alerts and taking care of the annoying stuff. Nothing beats chucking people off skyscrapers, especially once the city is overrun with annoying snipers and rocket freaks. I also really like how people with a gun or a shield are so obsessed with it if you remove it, they will do nothing but try and pick it back up. I just keep stealing it from them. The last mook alive also gets a special treatment of just the lightest punch every few seconds to keep him interuppted. Like, run away dude what're gonna do.

FFXIV: Yeah standard complaints apply, see previous posts My heart goes out to the writers who have to keep coming up with story arcs for the crafting quests, they’re working very hard but there’s only so much they can do, it seems like they’ve been asked that every single one has to end with the happiest ending possible, no exceptions. So every villain will end up admitting that they were in the wrong, every hero will forgive them, there will be at least five exchanges of heartfelt thank yous between every character, and in the end, everyone will agree that being nice is good. It’s very exhausting when you complete the different crafters’ final quests back-to-back, as I have. I felt some Joker bubbling up inside me, so much so that I tallied up how many words one of these quests might have: 2000 words!! I could’ve read like a third of a fall of a house of usher in that time!! Anyway I finished the main Stormblood quest, the last few hours were really fun: the last big 8-man boss fight was exciting / cool, the main villain had a poignant line of dialogue, though now I’m dreading having to unlock all of the optional level 70 dungeons, because I know each one is gonna be guarded by at least a few hundred words of fluff. Current mood: what if I skipped all the cutscenes and just skimmed the summary they put in your journal after each quest objective?

For the optional dungeons? There's really not too much fluff around them aside from a very short justification for why you're going in there, but yeah honestly, you'd probably be fine.
