The only absolutely baffling thing about the MW2 beta is the 3rd person playlist lol Why would anyone want to play Call of Duty in 3rd person? I guess there are some people who do, though. The rounds I played of it felt bad to play. And ADS just returns you to first person aiming anyway!

Beat the Wo Long Demo. I would say it's average. The good: It's pretty. The level design is good. The morale system is cool and encourages exploring the levels. It's a very meaningful reward for exploration. There's a lot of questionable to bad design going on here with what feels like some steps backwards from Nioh.
[ ] Regular enemies, especially non-humanoids, need better tells for deflect. It was easier to deflect the boss's attacks than the regular enemies, because their animations are much more elaborate. [ ] Why are heal flask and magic spell animations so long. I know Nioh started as a Souls ripoff, but this game is much faster than a Souls game. Make these animations shorter. [ ] The control inputs need to be tighter. So many times it would take 2-3 button mashes of triangle & circle to summon a guardian. Heal flask just don't work a 1/4 of the time. [ ] I understand if you block too much a meter builds up and you get stunned. That makes sense. Why are there attacks that will pop that meter just for getting hit. In a game where a few hits kills you, getting hit is punishment enough. You don't need to also be stunned. Also I don't know if this is a balance issue or just the demo, but I chose the "debuff" element to start with. 3/4 spells completely sucked and none of them were debuffs. The two offensive spells were poison damage spells that did little to no damage. None of them were worth casing except the one that applied poison to my weapon, which was amazing, but still not a drat debuff. Not sure if the other tracks you could choose where much better where offensive magic was worth using? Megasabin fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Sep 19, 2022 |

Wo Long has issues but I really hope they address them for the release because the game is sick as hell. - The heal absolutely needs to be quicker because everything else is so lightning fast -The Circle + Triangle input doesn't seem to register - The parry window should be slightly bigger because you will eat poo poo if you miss the input once. Also relates to the healing problem -The lock on camera could be adjusted a bit because it can be hard to see what the enemy is doing because the camera is so low and it moves around during combos.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Was it an issue for you in SOMA? oh i missed this, but i mean the whole game was an issue for me, i really do get scared easily. are there actual underwater levels in the game? cause i only got to the part where you sort of escape the first area and see that you're underwater in a bioshock-style city or lab or something. veni veni veni posted:I'm not into the way the game looks. A lot of indie games lately seem to be doing that super low detail textures mixed with a cartoony aesthetic and I'm not into it at all. It totally takes me out of it, which is not good considering I feel like OW is supposed to be super immersive. I wasn't feeling the exploration much, since I didn't care to look at what there was to find for the most part. I thought the on foot controls felt clunky and I couldn't stand controlling the space ship. people say you get used to it but I probably put a combined 4 hours into my 2 attempted playthroughs and always found the ship to be just about the most unenjoyable vehicle I have ever used in a game. Eventually I sort of got used to it but it never felt fun. Frequently I'd find myself on a planet with absolutely no idea what to do next and the gap between me figuring it out and being bored in between usually felt way too long. And once again during that time I felt like there was just nothing to look at. Just like, some low detail rocks with maybe some alien stuff if I was lucky. Everything looked like it was proc gen to me even though I knew it wasn't/ Sometimes I'd find something kind of interesting like getting deep into a planet and I'd die and have to start over, which is supposed to be part of the appeal, but the thought of flying there in that awful ship and finding where I was again was always extremely unpleasant. i meant to reply to this the other day but my post got eaten, but drat yeah i don't have a problem with the art, or the movement/ship controls. at first the art wasnt my favorite, but it grew on me as i played the game and then when i played the dlc i appreciated it a lot more, that's one of my favorite looking video game levels ever. i can't really imagine how they'd do it in a high poly style, and i cant really think of any other low poly art style that would be way cooler. also yeah maybe you just dont like the way the ship controls, but it took a while to grow on me before i realized that it really is as simple as it could get, with r2 and l2 thrusting up and down respectively and forward and backwards on the analog stick thrusting forward and back. that's also unfortunate that you felt like you didn't know what to do on certain planets, cause for me, and the few streams i've watched, like VG's and joseph anderson's, there was never really a moment until the very end of the game for any of us, where there wasn't like multiple things we wanted to check out, like watching veeg play was hilarious because he'd say what he was going to do next but then he'd remember some other thing he'd read earlier and as he said it out loud he turned around to go do that, then before he could really finish that thought he thought of something else. but really like i said, the game basically is the story, which is a big reason why outer wilds is so cool, 'the form follows the function' or whatever, more than any other game i can think of. so if you do try it again, i'd recommend just going about finding information to figure out what's going on, why are you in a time loop, why is the sun exploding, who are the nomai, the alien race who's messages you keep finding, and do they have something do with the time loop and the sun exploding?. And while searching for info to answer those questions you'll most likely run into some other weird thing or something the nomai mentioned that sounds interesting, etc. but yeah i mean i can see not liking the other aspects of the game, outside of the like core concept, but fortunately it's cool space poo poo and even if you're not into it it's inoffensive enough that you can probably look past it in time. but yeah, i just can't think of any other game where knowledge is legitimately the only thing you need to progress in the game, like outer wilds.

For me it seems like the game just did not work for Veni even though I'm not sure why. Like, the big thing about the game is how it unfolds as you explore, questions lead to more questions that start to coalesce into more solid ideas about what's going on and push you towards seeking out other connected things and it's all driven by your curiosity making you follow all these threads and breadcrumbs. It's the experience of uncovering all of that and putting it together that makes replaying the game not the same after the first playthrough which is why every Outer Wilds fan is so keen to see other people play the game. It doesn't sound like a "I didn't stop to read anything and this game makes no sense" kind of complaint, which would at least be easy to give advice for. It's more like, "I didn't know what to do so I did nothing" or something? Like I dunno, the second I saw Brittle Hollow I wanted to know what was going on with it, and each time I found an area there was something else either nearby or mentioned in text that I needed to figure out how to see. Some planets require a bit more effort to get beneath the surface and really explore them, but if you're not compelled to dig deeper then I'm not sure how to kind of push that intrigue onto you and make you enjoy what is honesly one of my favourite games.

My criticism of Wo Long is also that there is far too little going on with it compared to Nioh 1, let alone Nioh 2. Games journalists are trying to call it streamlining but it's just less finger puzzles and weapons to learn which appeals to me less.

My problem with Wo Long is actually a think Skillup said that he liked. He said From games are about exploring a wild place, an odyssey, and the fighting is just a part of that along the way. While Nioh games have levels that simply act as places to stage a bunch of enemies to fight, and it’s all about the fighting. But I really don’t enjoy a game where the sense of exploration and discovery and wonder is all half baked or completely nonexistent. And that’s the way Wo Long felt.

Tbh as much as I don't care for Nioh the exploration is better than most Souls ripoff games imo, but I guess that isn't really saying much. It's still a joke compared to the real deal. Can't comment Lo Dong I haven't played it.

It’s definitely the nature of the Nioh games to put you into different fighting scenarios with a strong sense of atmosphere, which explains why they make combat a lot quicker and more similar to fighting games than the slower and more deliberate approach of Souls, which is bigger on exploration. Things like action and stance canceling, abilities and martial arts, what Wo Long refers to as “spirit” etc encourage a much more kinetic combat style. It kind of makes me want to go back and play the Ninja Gaiden games. To whoever said they went with debuffs/poison, I’ll say I went with fire and had fun with it. The spells weren’t very strong but they could change the tide of battle by simply stunning an enemy or finishing off a raging one with a small amount of health left. Also, the fire element level just flat out increases the damage you do.

I prefer action games like Nioh, DMC, Platinum stuff and Ninja Gaiden where you return to levels to get higher combos, get more items or style. Dark Souls pace is too plodding gameplay wise for me and hasn't got enough variety in the movesets. Wo Long doesn't feel like it has the massive amount of variety and technical demands as Nioh or the tight gameplay of Ninja Gaiden. I'll give it a go when it comes out but I'm wondering if they're going to release more weapons or what. Magic feels great to use and seamless as you fight enemies though, I'll give it a tick for that. E: I'm hoping for a bigger budget Sifu at some stage. That ruled.

Escobarbarian posted:video games as a medium is wildin out rn I'm wildin out cuz i just finished Wild Arms. I'm fairly sure I beat it back in the day but the last 1/3 or so of the game was completely unfamiliar to me, tho maybe I got it confused with a different wild arms game. Dunno!! Fun little romp to revisit but it is a very bare bones jrpg. Battles are slow and repetitive, the majority of the spell list is completely useless. The story is kinda fun in that particular Wild Arms way blending all sorts of elements from fantasy, scifi, and westerns. Of course the sountrack is good, but not as good as I remember. The standouts are the town themes. Michiko Naruke composes some of the absolute best jrpg town themes  I hope they bring Wild Arms 2 to ps+

I found the fire DoT spells extremely useful and carried me through the boss.

Yeah I picked the swamp type and for regular enemies it felt useless because you either monster them or they monster you, but against the boss it was very good. Fire was really good for flicking out some disrespect and plinking off mooks that you didn't want in the neighbourhood any more.

Second Sekiro update: I suck at this game. I get that each boss tries to teach you something eg Lady Butterfly taught me to learn which of her moves allowed get a counter hit in and which I'd have to just block, the blazing bull taught me that attacks you wouldn't expect to be able to parry can be parried, that dude before Genichiro taught me to dodge left but hosed if I know what Genichiro is teaching me beyond "git gud lol". I'll give it a few more goes but I've had a dozen attempts and have got to his final stage once. I even watched a video to see what to do and I've got no idea how to hit the intensity enough to stagger him, I'm always the one that needs to back off due to poorly timed parries.
