welcome posted:Dragon Warrior VII I was really blown away that I liked the original more than the remake. It's definitely the longest game I've ever played that felt way, way shorter. The structure is so cool and let them tell so many stories that balanced so many different moods and tones.

DQ7 definitely had a Saturday Morning Cartoon feel to it where every new fragment feels a lot like "What's going to happen on this episode?"

Dead Space 3 (Co-Op. Hard mode.): i was prepared for this to be like a 6 hour long game and it turned out to be a 17 hour monstrosity. it was a blur because it feels so samey, but when i think back on it they really tried, theres a lot of scenarios and set pieces and moments and unique poo poo, but the experience of having played this feels like a weird continuum of blandness. It was not bad, far from it, but it certainly wasnt good, and the story is a loving disaster with a stupid rear end love triangle thrown in the middle, and due to EA's meddling a lot of poo poo didnt make the cut, they added microtransactions, and to replace an old concept for the coop where Isaac would have imagined a person, they put in Sgt. John Carver. They do some cool things where one player sees things the other doesnt, and theres even a genuinely fantastic gag in one of the side missions involving this hallucination gimmick, but they dont really get to do much with it due to budget and time restraints. The crafting system lets you make hysterically overpowered poo poo, but its a bit too fiddly and at the same time, once you power up a weapon you dont really have any incentive to branch out, and even then the game was piss easy, with us either dying to set piece things due to latency, or blindsided by a dude two shotting you. Hell, my inventory at the end of the game was 138 medium health packs. overall, a sad gravestone to a studio and franchise that were so promising. id probably rate this a 5 or a 6 if i were numbering it. What a goddamn shame

death's door. great action game with heavy zelda influence, short and sweet gradually upgrading the player to be a little stronger and faster is kinda uninspired and feels as lame as it sounds, but this doesnt ruin how good it is. Tight combat, awesome art, and overall really good design. in a lot of ways it felt like hyperlight drifter 2 lol and the entire second area is an homage to the east zone in that. if its sitting there on gamepass or on sale def try it

I only played the first game before getting 3 super cheap to play with a friend. maybe got a couple of hours in and felt it was insanely bland and had none of the atmosphere that made the original so good.

Betrayal at Club Low - a really fun dice rolling game where you have to rescue a guy from a night club. It's a little custom d&d campaign that's definitely worth the 8 bucks it costs. It has 11 endings so I'll go back and replay it sometime in the future with the unlocked difficulty modifiers. My 1st playthrough took about 3 1/2 hrs and it does want you to do multiple playthrough so I'm sure you can blow through it in an hour or so with a gameplan in mind.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. I had some annoyances--some of this may have just been bad luck but all the % numbers like chance to hit, crit chance etc felt off in a weird way (moreso than most games that show those %), character growth felt kind of hosed (I think over half of my character's level-ups ended up only giving them one stat increase, a result so bad that the characters have unique dialogue to complain about it), and they liked missions where you trudge through difficult terrain while enemies get infinitely summoned at you a little too much. But other than that I liked it a lot, a lot of the characters were cool, the inventory/equipment system was overhauled entirely compared to other Fire Emblems for the better, and I liked that everything felt smaller-scale, maps were smaller, terrain was more important, and enemies felt a little tougher than other FEs so it felt like it leaned a little harder on the RPG aspects. I also liked that for the most part you can bring your whole army along to story battles instead of benching most of them like the other FEs I've played. Also had the best art out of any in the series that I've played yet.

extremebuff posted:it sucks so much. gently caress EA. the first 2 games own a lot it does a bunch of stuff wrong that isnt EA's fault, such as the crafting system, but i imagine if they hadnt had their budget and available dev time slashed they could have figured something out. but whats weird is that, it has such imaginative ideas and it really tries, it does semi open structure in one part, which they wanted to base ds4 on, side missions, the asymmetrical hallucinations, really varied set pieces like rappeling, kinesis puzzles, and one of the best set pieces of the franchise where you fight around a giant drill thats malfunctioning. But at the same time its so repetitive, and i think part of that is never making you really need to use different weapons, which the universal ammo also reinforces. its so baffling and frustrating, theres a lot of really cool ideas that are wasted here.

i remember kinda liking the ship graveyard just because that's a cool environment, but so much of the ice planet is a waste when it could have been a really, really good setting for a space horror game. there's basically no tension because you have so many resources throughout the game where in DS1 it was a big deal when you had to use a single medium health pack

for ds3 originally they wanted to make The Thing but dead space, which considering john carpenter wanted to make a dead space movie, isnt far fetched at all

Super Mario RPG 15. Resident Evil 4  Haven’t played this in probably ten years. Every boss killed me like five times and I died a shitload at the beginning trying to kill everyone before the bell rings. The remake is gonna be cool but absolutely not necessary, game is basically perfect as is. More games need to let you stagger with bullets to get a melee prompt, insanely good game feel. fadam fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Sep 19, 2022 |

The asymmetrical hallucinations were really cool ideas. I still remember playing that and walking into a room full of like weird toys and talking to my buddy about it and he thought i was just lying and loving with him. I wonder if part of the reason the crafting system was so jacked up was because they offered microtransactions to buy crafting mats. RIP

the core idea of "you're an engineer so it'd be cool if you assembled and modified your own weapons" isn't a bad one and i could see a version of the game where it worked well, but it ended up with you making a high-powered gun that made the combat super easy and not needing to engage with the system at all after that if they wanted to encourage microtransactions they did a terrible job with it because it was really easy to end up overpowered with a ton of resources to spare

21. Revolution! (32-level megaWAD for Doom II, 2001, Switch version) 3/5. Lots of pretty simple layouts with real-world theming, nothing really stuck out as bad, but it was pretty easy and leaned more on memorable visuals than tight design. pretty cool that bethesda releases free packs like this so i can play Doom WADs on my commute. going to continue chipping away at everything theyve added except maybe Back to Saturn X bc it looks fairly tedious and too hard to play on Swinch,. i never want to play another icon of sin map again.

Deep Fear It sucks that the game wasn't very good because being trapped in a claustrophobic underwater base where you might asphyxiate and monsters get stronger in hypoxic conditions is a cool horror idea. Most of its problems would be fixed by default if it were made today, like the long loading times, bad controls and fixed camera
