The challenge dungeons in Grim Dawn have a few really annoying features: Cannot save and quit in them. I had my graphics card poop out on me, or something updated or whatever, for a second very shortly into my first one of these. Restarting the game had me booted out to the closest town, wasting what was at the time a super rare skeleton key, and is still kind of uncommon. Cannot reset themselves. If you fail out of one because, for example, you were surprised to see a merchant and went into their trade menu only to be bombarded from enemies you thought were well outside of aggro range, the game wants to make you do the whole thing over again. However, it puts that burden on you, making you quit out to the main menu instead of resetting it during your death. It's not exactly a challenge dungeon specific thing, but the cooldowns on potions are surprisingly long for something it's trivially easy to collect several hundred of. I'm so flooded with them that I could probably sit there for half an hour chugging them, even after I decided to stop keeping new stacks two acts into a four act game.

Shovel knight pocket dungeon: money carries over after the end of a run if you die, but not if you abort the run.

Red Minjo posted:The challenge dungeons in Grim Dawn have a few really annoying features: Also what makes that most annoying about the challenge dungeons is that for the majority of the game they're usually the best way to level up or grind items if you need to. So once you finish one or die, it's back out to the menu. And if you forget to collect items before you leave: gently caress you. Also the second DLC, the forgotten gods one, I found to be really boring in terms of environments and content.

Finally finished TOTK. I'm pretty sore about activating all the lightroots. I assumed you must get something cool for doing it. No. You just get a medal that does nothing but sit in your inventory. A thing that is probably just a me problem is that after over a hundred hours of playing, I still couldn't reliably parry or flurry rush. I wish there was an accessibility menu where I could toggle some visual or audio cue for incoming strikes.

TotK has to be a different timeline than the BotW we experienced. There's no way all the towers, shrines, guardians, and divine beasts are just gone, with so few NPCs mentioning them and leaving no holes in the ground/underground. Didn't get too far into Age of Calamity but I assume it ends with the mini guardian hitting a reset button poorly.

The implementation of the abilities you’re rewarded with for beating the dungeons in TotK sucks. You get an AI buddy who fights alongside you with an ability you toggle by talking to them, which can be hell to do in combat, and good luck if you have more than one out and you want a specific ability. One especially loooves charging into melee, but has an ability that interacts with your bow and arrows. I’ve mostly accepted durability, but one thing that annoys me is that while most Zonai devices seem pretty indestructible, wings and hot air balloons are not. They just wink out of existence after flying a certain distance, we’ll before your batteries drain, and also not nearly enough to reach some distant sky islands. I’ve run into the maximum capacity for brightbloom seeds, a very common material. Obviously I could just sell them off, but I’ll get more money if I cook them first, even if the food you get is useless, and that’s tedious.

I really think that TotK could have been well-served with a complete revamp of the control scheme. I don't know exactly how I would do it, but some kind of "assign items/abilities to buttons" scheme like zelda games used to have in the pre-BotW era could have worked better maybe. It's hard because the game is trying to do so much poo poo all at once. At the very least, they could've put companion abilities on d-pad down, a button that is otherwise worse than useless (multiple times i have been sneaking up on a group of enemies, tried to select a different weapon, and accidentally alerted all the enemies with a whistle).

This is probably the biggest bullshit in the game. I guess they don't want you to just fly forever but you can still just make a quadcopter (a design the game explicitly teaches you about) and fly forever anyway so I don't get the point of making wings and balloons disappear.

Totk has some of the most barebones options I think I've seen in games in a long time, it's kind of embarrassing honestly. Games have been including multiple controller button layouts since the early 2000s. Zero accessibility settings. There aren't even volume settings.

I don't understand why in Tears of the Kingdom, you don't get a heal every time you fast travel. Instead you have to go to Lookout Landing, sleep in the bed, and then go to wherever you are going. There's no reason why I should have to take a 15 second detour every time.

I think it's to encourage you to return to hub areas in the world. You can't get free health without going to a stable or city, and while you're there you're likely to stock up on items and look around. You might hit a sidequest you missed, turn one in you completed, start another one in a chain of quests, etc. but all roads have to go through a town. Even the free beds you get in Hateno or outside Tarrey Town put you adjacent to a hub of some kind. The alternatives are: forcing you to engage with the cooking system, utilizing select hot spring/fairy fountain locations, or discovering a Rauru's Blessing shrine and choosing to not get the reward item so you can pick it up later + the free health refill. It fits with the design theme they worked on for BOTW, where they want to get you standing at spot A so they can put B, C, D, etc. on the horizon or lay out the bait with sidequests to point you in certain directions. TOTK is very much a game where you're being drawn one way or another based on the systems interlocking in specific ways like that.

Why you can't just queue up cooking by recipe and play the animation once instead of holding and dropping everything into the pot is beyond me. Batch cooking is what we want!

They seem to be fond of using tedium and annoyance as a balancing factor, which is just garbage game design in my book. Like, if you could really easily stock up on lots of meals, you'd almost never be at risk of dying because at any moment you can pause and eat as much healing food as you want, so they made it loving annoying to cook a lot in order to discourage you from doing that.

TOTK is probably harder if you have beaten BOTW beforehand than if you started from here. Stuff that was out in the open like getting armour upgrades, respecing stats, improved runes, and even getting a paragilder is now gated behind quests that may not immediately obvious you can undertake.

It's an all timer of a game, but it has its share of problems, Nintendo's allergy to sensible, non-repetitive interface options being a big one. See also Animal Crossing, a game mostly designed around building innumerable quantities of items, that also limits you to constructing a single item and watching the associated animation every time.

It's probably the most tedious part of the game, and all the workarounds for it just add an extra step to the tedium near on par with having to make a brand new tool!

I still can't believe they let you craft high tier golden tools, which use gold chunks to make, and you only get the recipe for after breaking 100 regular tools, and those still break. Like, gently caress me if I'm ever gonna waste a rare resource drop on that.

Cooking individual meals, brewing potions, and picking berries is kind of that game's main selling point. You're supposed to stop and breathe in the boringness of it all. Zelda isn't that sort of game, so it clangs.

Watching some Far Cry retrospectives finally elucidated the feelings I had about 4 and especially 5. I had chalked it up to the games shifting to a much more prominent co-op first design and almost chasing after Saints Row in a way, but two other points rang true: 1) For whatever else you want to say about 3's malformed and stupid story and Jason Brody as a character, the ludonarrative (  ) of starting as a useless dweeb and growing into an apex predator is woven into the mechanics and story, which is cool. Meanwhile Ajay and the Deputy just kinda arbitrarily get stronger and grow from a vague and unclear baseline.2) While none of the games eschew stealth entirely, lots of little tweaks to the formula have shifted things such that while you could oftentimes play 3 as a straight stealth game, by 5 they really want to push the action-heavy shaggy dog story generator thing. Not entirely dissimilar to how you're "supposed to" play Dishonored, stealthing at first but playing through the consequences of being spotted. Trying to play 5 solely as a stealth game was revealing a lot of weaknesses in the design and now I understand why.

If the golden tools had been indestructible, they would have been worth the tedious effort to get them, and I would have happily grinded that poo poo just to get them. Or done whatever festival or event the game might have wanted. But, instead, no. gently caress you, they break.
