Kitfox88 posted:Is that the one with the cerebral bore? Played so much of one of that era's Turoks with friends via gamecube 4 player splitscreen during highschool. no but it has a full body bore weapon... fires five bores that drill off every limb. actually less heavy metal than it sounds. cerebral bore was implemented way better imo

I have a hard nostalgia tick when I hear "cerebral bore." I know it's from Turok 2, because I had that game, but I can't remember what was interesting at all about it. It was like a missile or something?

It was like a missile or something? It is quite literally exactly what the name suggests. It is fires drills that zoom into the enemy's head and bore inside in a mess of (for the time) absurd gore before exploding.

It took me most of the way through my second run to figure it out, but I finally realized the Resident Evil 4 remake lets you skip most of its in-game codec conversations where you slowly walk around letting the dialogue play out. Wish I'd noticed sooner, but now the game is almost perfect in letting you just skip straight to the gameplay on repeat playthroughs. I think there's just one pesky forced slow walking segment left now.

Just tedious busywork leading up to the actual fight Some neat interactions I've noticed now that I have infinite rockets: you can shoot the wall so it only takes one wrecking ball hit, you can shoot the rocks in the mind so you don't need tnt, you can blow up the fire breathing statue, you can take out the anti aircraft gun

Also the game gives you more drops if you're low on something, so using the grenades will result in more grenades dropping.

Way to ruin my strategy of cheesing the BG1 chessboard fight with a potion of insulation (and there's what, 1 of those?) and a scroll of invisibility. Crafting in games make it worse though, because it happens way more often that you do actually need 50 bear asses for the bear-rear end tailor for a sidequest that unlocks your ultimate weapon.

NEVER AGAIN I never suffered this trauma and yet was an item hoarder for years. I don't think it's a logical or learned response purely within videogames. I think what got me to kick the habit was when I finally broke out one of those hoarded items in a sticky situation, and I'd been sitting on it for so long that it was no longer useful. Like, getting 30MP from an ether when I needed 50 to cast a remotely useful spell.

Been playing Wild Hearts with friends and it has a really nice message that pops up when you join if you're at the same point of story progression - basically it tells you that since you're at the same point, story progress made in this game will also apply to your own. What's also neat is that if you're ahead of the person that you join, when you guys catch up to what you've seen, the game will also display that message, saying that since you've now reached a parity in the plot, story progress will carry over. Just a great reassuring message that means you don't have to worry about plot progress and trying to figure out how that works re: multiplayer.

A lot of games, especially the RPGs that are most infamous for item hoarding, are pretty bad with pacing and UI and teaching you how you're 'supposed' to be playing them, especially when you already got spells/attacks/special abilities that do the same thing right there. And half the time the items are poorly explained and extremely underwhelming when actually used compared to spending the turn using a spell or otherwise engaging in mechanics that don't feel tacked on.

Sekiro definitely has a bad approach to its ninja mega man weapons’ ammo, but I don’t know if it’s fair to pan it specifically for not doing things the way the other souls games unless the things it did instead were objectively worse.

Okay but what if it was objectively worse? It's even worse than Nioh's approach, which was already 'worse Souls set in feudal Japan'.
