why the gently caress do you give me a giant sword if it bounces the gently caress off everything forever

why do you make enemies change their elements 10 times a minute and give me like 2 slots for element based materia after other things

holy gently caress i wanna just drive a truck into the sea

I read that Starfield still has "mobile cutscenes" where an NPC talks to you while walking, at a pace faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed.

it'll be easy mode now that i'll have all the elemental materia equipped that i had no idea i'd need going into the fight

everyone but aeris should have an elemental materia plus whatever weakness element is prominent at the moment in their weapons by the end

pssh, diversifying for elemental weakness isn't even that great a return, i was building tall with strong combo materia + support

ain't my fault game design now is baby toy colored shape hole poo poo instead of more interesting play between broader mechanics with subtler impacts

smarxist posted:

seriously can't believe i bounced off FF7R the first try

i think it was mostly the combat system, i honestly don't have a ton of hours with modern RPG combat or poo poo like DMC, i played DS1/2/3 and Elden Ring and Bayo, but idk, i kept getting stunned or knocked back or whatever and getting really annoyed, i was kinda hoping they just replaced charging ATB bars with mash it up musou fighting, which I guess it can kinda be with trash and letting abilities fly

anyways, I just beat Reno in the church, the second time is always a walk after getting beat up the first time, and i just love all the spooky loving A3O fanfiction ghost implications, not sure what they're angling for yet, but it's definitely more interesting than a straight redo or a hard reboot

I just got to the wall market and a couple fights were frustrating from losing an ATB when a heal was interrupted but overall it's felt like a big improvement over 15. Kinda glad I waited so long to play it so I can use classic mode without lowering the difficulty

Edit: ugh, thought I was on the latest page

Was a frustration I had in bg3, that game has the combination of a rather constrictive inventory limit and the ability to pick up like half the objects in the world

did you figure out how to get the whole right click menu without having to click again on "show more options" ?

There is a simple registry key that makes the right click context menu default, but it is mystifying they don't make it part of the options.

The explorer patcher kind of work to make it "look" like win10 but you lose some hotkey functionality like windows+x opening the restart menu for example. Or maybe I just need to learn the new shortcuts for things.

Starfields marketing material was 90% look at all the poo poo you can vacuum up. This take is out of touch with what the people want

the main little qol thing I appreciate from cyberpunk 2.0 is collapsing the skill experience system down to one bar for each attribute tree with a lot better tailored bonuses. also those skill chips that gave xp are a more common drop so even stuff I'm not working on like netrunner is slowly trickling up

Starfield fixes the loot list by making everything completely worthless and not worth picking up unless its weapons or contraband, much like in real life

if you're just using windows to game or whatever use massgrave.dev and grab an ltsc 2021 iso or whatever and unlock it. pretty sure windows 11 still has more aids in it than any potential improvements unless 11's thread scheduling changes are actually real and actually have a performance benefit... very suspect

Every species can smell its own extinction.
They removed like 90% of the crafting system. Which makes sense because it was completely broken, but I’m gonna miss the dumb poo poo you could do.

for lies of P players who've made it past the AB: Ive been running around forever trying to figure out how to unlock this ladder since it looks like there's lots of looty goodies around up there. Is it something I get to come back after the Malus District? (its after the cathedral but before you make the dark souls descent-into-the-well to Malus). it doesn't seem like the world loops back to here so I must be missing something
