Just put it on easy and butcher everything, you still get to see all the cool setpieces that way

are you using Atreus you should be volleying enemies with his arrows at all times, especially the zippy ones like in Alfheim I just finished my replay of it this weekend and the combat was excellent, certainly better than the originals, but you need to make use of all tools (runic attacks/talisman/BOY) to really build momentum

I certainly have complaints about the way combat is tuned but the game is a technical stunner and very polished overall which should eliminate any mystery about why it reviewed well.

Yeah it looks amazing, it ticks all the AAA boxes, and the story of Kratos and Atreus gets pretty engaging eventually

Oxxidation posted:are you using Atreus I...think so? I mean, I hit square every once in a while to make him shoot arrows at stuff, and it's useful to have him distract one of the elves so I can deal with the other two, but most of the time there were so many elves that it didn't make much difference if I had six attacking me or all seven. I've bought him some skills, too, the first arrow damage increase and quiver upgrade, and the two initial light arrow upgrades, and a couple of the skills at the top of his tree that make him do different attacks during battle. I just wish he had an upgrade to make him shut up so each fight isn't a constant stream of "Father, look out!" because there's never more than three seconds between dodging one attack and another one coming at me. I'm using my runic powers too, was much easier to remember once I noticed the cooldown UI in the bottom left and realized they were all R1 plus another button. I dunno! Was real frustrated with what was probably supposed to be a cool setpiece, where you trash the temple and then have to fight your way up a narrow path through a million elves, and it was just so, so lame. Felt like I should be triumphantly smashing these losers on my way up to the top, but nope, gotta keep dodging because they're all trying to stab you, and it felt like I only made any progress when my Runic attacks were up.

Elfheim is the absolute worst area in the whole game, so power through it. Another tip, if you use your fists instead of an axe, you build up stun quickly on regular enemies and then you can finish them off instantly. Also just play on normal, its the best. bows1 fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Oct 24, 2022 |

The bosses in Returnal are extremely cool, I wish there were even more of them.

I’ve been on a huge Resident Evil kick that started with REmake last fall on Gamecube, so I’ve been eating good with ongoing REnaissance. Right now I’m playing RE7 and I just got to and interesting spot. Without getting into spoilers, I was prompted to make a choice that seems like it would have story impact. Is it worth playing the game a second time and making the opposite choice the second time? Or is it more of a “watch the other ending on YouTube” situation? I’d like to play it again because this game rules, but I took a break from Elden Ring and I’m itching to get back into that.

The choice does have story impact, it affects the end of the boat sequence and the final cutscene of the game. IIRC it doesn't have major gameplay effects so it's probably not worth redoing the whole thing in person

The ideal video game is a Resident Evil with all the bonus art unlocked and the vestigial new/load game options removed. Hopefully some day this industry can shake off its conservative attachment to gameplay that holds back its true potential.
