Crowetron posted:It's under game settings but looking at it again it's called "Display Take over all items" instead of just being called a loot filter. That's really weird and probably why I didn't find it. Anyway I've been replaying Super Robot Wars 30, and the DLC units all look kind of weird? Like their art styles don't quite mesh with the rest of the game and it's kind of offputting. It doesn't stop them from being rad or anything, I now have three variations of the nu-gundam just obliterating the battlefield. But the hi-nu, and OG unit sprites mostly look like something you'd see in a mid 2000's browser game ad, while a bunch of others like the ultraman units just look like 3D renders plopped down into the game.

Tomb Raider 2's final boss with the Dragon kind of sucks, I hated that fight. I've beaten the game now though, so I'm done with it.

Dragon’s Dogma could use some kind of enemy radar, my pawns keep shouting “look, a goblin!” and it’ll take like 10 seconds for me to figure out where the drat thing is.

While I'm enjoying Maneater a lot, there's a mechanic I'm having to deal with late in the game that's starting to really annoy me. In the tutorial you're introduced to the idea that you can grab targets then, rather than eat them, launch them into the distance. This ability serves no particular function in the tutorial, and then after completing the tutorial it's taken away from you until you're quite a bit further into the game. Even then it serves no real point. Until all of a sudden you hit the final two bounty hunters, who have electric fields on their boats and throw depth charges into the water, which you're expected to grab and launch at the boats with precision targeting while under a storm of fire because it's a late game battle with humans. This is incredibly obnoxious to put it mildly, and what I'd call the first real misstep of the game. I was able to wear down the nine-star bounty hunter because my mutations let me launch blasts of poison, thereby slowly wearing down the bounty hunter, but this bodes poorly.

They're not trying to be the same art style, they're trying to replicate different stuff from their animes and Ultraman was in 3d cgi I guess. Gridman's one attack is just a youtube video from it lol. It does feel clunky later when they start putting different things in like a bad low framerate gif of something scanning or activating or whatever. It's a little weird for Hi Nu because it's not actually from anything but a novel so they kind of just made something up. SRW 30's real problem is just how easy it is and how loving long it is though lmao RBA Starblade has a new favorite as of 15:23 on Mar 13, 2023 |

The late game stuff got pretty tedious but you can get through it simply by button-mashing. Don't think I engaged with the throw mechanism again once I'd got the lock gates open. I found once you had the Bone armour fully upgraded the boat fights just became a case of using your Special to tank, spamming ram/roll until it ran out, then chomping divers to regain health and power until you could Spec/Spam again. For the animal bosses use the Poison armour instead to grind them down and use the ranged attack continuously to stack poison markers between their attacks.

The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter: The game so far has been about walking around in a forest with some small points of interest here and there and some footpaths. You are provided no map and no road signs. Here's hoping you remember where everything is, especially since you'll be needing them to solve the puzzles. Oh, and the cutscenes/imagination events aren't helping, since they often teleport you to a different location, throwing your navigation off even more. The game (intentionally) lacks clear motivations or instructions for progressing, which it describes as "the game not holding your hand", but sometimes it feels more like I'm trying to reach towards it and it slaps my hand away with a slimy fish. I've barely started the game (just reached the graveyard) and I'm already unsure whether I want to continue.

I've gotten the urge to start playing MGSV from the beginning again, so today I remembered just how annoying that extended prologue/tutorial gets to be. It's great for one time through, very cinematic and intriguing, but it sucks to play more than one time and needs to be skippable. Today's experience was pretty typical: - Spend 20 minutes dicking around with steam, trying to remember how to find and overwrite your save files with a fresh one skipping that section - Give up and spend another 25 minutes slogging your way through all of the intro, even with skipping the dozens of separate cutscenes as soon as possible - Bonus twist: finally getting to the first mission almost an hour in, only to remember that your controller is screwed up enough that you can't switch your primary weapons I love playing the game starting from the beginning and slowly working your way up through weapon and gadget tech, but it seems like such a hassle to actually get to the gameplay every time

I checked out Hardspace Shipbreaker again, after testing it out a bit way back in the first-early-access release days. And game, I just want to hardspace shipbreak, please stop having people monologuing at me through my intercom. There isn't that much of it thankfully, but whenever someone starts talking at me after a mission it always feels 2x too long. The ingame stuff is perfectly fine, because I'm doing stuff. The stuff in the hab just has you prisoner. I wouldn't be annoyed with this if these chats came in during gameplay instead.

Elden Ring is one of the best games I've ever played. However, mapping crouch to L3 leads me to constantly crouching during boss fights when I'm trying to haul rear end. When I get panicky during tense moments, my guy decides that now is a good time to try and hide in some weeds.

That can actually work to your advantage since there is a glitch where if you crouch while running and toggling weapons you can recover stamina will still running, giving you infinite stamina. How likely you are to remember that in casual play I don't know. I know I don't.

It gives me no end of trouble even after getting used to the run button, because clicking the left stick is just too easy to do by mistake. It's also aggravating that they let you do some controls customization, but only in the form of swapping two options for the jump button.

Ghost of Tsushima was one I looked up while trying to figure out which game that reminded me of - it uses L3 to run and R3 to crouch, which makes way more sense to me and is much less disruptive in tense scenes.

kazil posted:IIRC that boss fight also had a pop-up message about dodging attacks which was pretty much the wrong way to do the fight  The dodge attack is really good against Lady Butterfly. If you do it quickly enough you can basically stun-lock her the whole time. But it feels like cheese, even if the game just told you to do it. Although I feel perfectly justified using whatever means to win in a Fromsoft game. I'm currently doing NG+. Sekiro is great.
