The thing dragging down FO4's open world is that there is literally 2 towns. And Vault 81.

I would've been happy if Death Stranding got rid of its story entirely and was just a package-delivery simulator, period. More emphasis on the trip like having to deal with weather, roving bands of wildlife (or I guess ghosts if sticking with already-present hazards), that sort of thing.

Soul Hackers 2 is gorgeous and challenging and fun so far but good lord everyone pronounces Milady like it rhymes with melody and I am dying inside.

There's a character in Divinity: Original Sin 2 named Malady and it takes so much effort not to pronounce it with the cadence of 'milady'

There are no bandits, and you can't build roads, but you really have to think about the path and make good routes and such.

Nuebot posted:I was actually just thinking about it earlier today, how much people would probably hate it to be dropped into an open world game where getting from one end of the map to the next would take like, eight hours at least of non-stop running If I were in charge, my open world game would be in realistic scale, and you could run eight-hours to the next location if you wanted to. Instead you could, say, plot a course and the game would interrupt you if you came upon a bad guy, or a point of interest, say. Like Daggerfall!

RDR Online is fun. It's about as grounded as the single-player mode, and the heart is still there. It takes place (if I remember correctly) one year before the events of RDR2.

Having played it all the way through for the first time in years, I have to say Dark Souls 2 is good! The little thing that bothers me as much today as it did way back when it first came out is that I wish Nashandra's fight was better. She has a cool as hell design and a neat boss intro but then it's just kinda...over.

Doom (2016) was so good. I know I'm late to the party, but I finally got Doom Eternal. Load it up and... Oh, Bethesda authentication? Bethesda authenticating... authenticating... Oh, a popup telling me about boosters and new cosmetic poo poo. Huh. Another popup telling me about more of this. And a THIRD one. And this one has a TIMER so I can't just hit "okay" right away, I have to wait five seconds to click it? There are NINE WINDOWS I have to click "okay" through just to get to the menu jfc I just want to fuckin rip and tear not buy hats for Doomguy And every two seconds it tells me YOU GOT ______! More fuckin hats I imagine. There are TWELVE menu options. Nine of them are for bullshit. The game begins and I get killed, but when I respawn I'm super tiny. I'm like the size of a mouse. I can run super fast but I'm 1 inch tall and have no weapons. What the gently caress is going on here credburn has a new favorite as of 20:43 on Dec 12, 2022 |

By "all the way through" I was including the DLCs. If anything, that made Nashandra even worse since I did them before doing the vanilla endgame so I was decked out with sick gear and murder stats. I know most people rate the Fume Knight as the best boss, but I love the spectacle of the Ivory King and the Gwyn vibes of his moveset.

Nashandra immediately after Throne Watcher/Defender is pretty cool but it would be pretty poo poo if you had to kill them every attempt on her. If Nashandra was made today she'd have 15 hidden health bars

The church levels in Dead to Rights 2 are fine, but they kind of repeat as you basically do the first map in one direction, then so the second map going in and out again to get the key, then going all the way back through the first map backwards to get to the locked door. Also the third area completely took too long as it was 8 loving levels long. Hopefully that was the longest level in the game. There are a lot more to go too, there are 9 areas in all and I'm at area 4.

kazil posted:Nashandra immediately after Throne Watcher/Defender is pretty cool but it would be pretty poo poo if you had to kill them every attempt on her. I mean, ideally you'd move the Watcher/Defender up to the tower where the two Dragonriders are and then have the showdown with Nashandra be its own big crazy thing. Anyway, I booted up DS1 Remastered and is my memory loving with me or could you always just not roll diagonally?

No diag-rolling and the weight threshold is 50 percent.

Adaptability is way worse than anything in ds1.

If I have to pick between Adaptability and Diagonal Dodging, I will gladly dump a handful of levels into a dumb stat every time. Edit: The first Black Knight in the Burg dropped his sword so I change my mind, DS1 is the best. Crowetron has a new favorite as of 23:54 on Dec 12, 2022 |

I think Fume Knight and Sir Alonne appeal to the folks grumpy about DS2 lacking a real challenge, but basically everything about the Ivory King fight is cool as gently caress. I actually rate the second DLC lowest because I'm two for two on playthroughs where I got burnt out on the excessive difficulty, even if the area as a whole is otherwise interesting and Zelda dungeon-y.

(It's probably tied with DS1 for my favorite in the series tbh) Alonne didn't give me any trouble but the Fume knight did. Bounced off him for hours and suddenly it "clicked" and I was dancing circles around him. Probably my most satisfying boss kill of the entire series.

CJacobs posted:Death Stranding's absurd space-compression gave me a laugh early on when a character went all like "Oh thank god, a Porter! Why, we haven't seen anyone at this station in over a year." And you can just turn around to stare across several state lines at the waystation you just came from. It's actually not that far guys, I can see my house from here! Early in Days Gone, you can have a full tank on your bike and maybe it'll get you 1.5km if you're lucky.

I thought DS was going to take place on the moon or some artificial planet because there's no day night cycle and the geography made no sense.

Elden Ring: gently caress the Fringefolk's Hero Cave. So much. I'm sure there's candy behind all this bullshit but COME ON. The Executioner's Chariot, poison, little bleed-happy stone guys, AND fire? Say it ain't so.
