the one thing i wish mgsv did better is climbing
it is unreasonable that this superman cannot do a lil hop and grab a ledge and pull himself up when he can already do all this other incredible poo poo with his body

The yellow signposting on crates, ladders, etc. doesn't bother me because games are way more visually busy now than they were in the mid '00s, but the best solution is to make stuff like this toggle on/toggle off in an accessibility menu.

i wish aim assistance was more subtle in these games, whenever i feel it i immediately turn it off

if it was like 20% power i might just have fun and think "i still got it"

but if i get suspicious, i need a series of menus to click into that'll let me down gently like

"Click here if you're suspicious about something."
"Are you sure you wanna know?"
"Yeah. There's aim assistance, you want it off? Y/N"

maybe in addition to being yellow the ladder can also talk and tell you about itself. maybe it’s romancable

the yellow paint thing is a solved problem and that solution is having a sidekick who constantly says things like "hey maybe you could climb that ladder over there" approximately 0.1 seconds after entering a new area

On a 4070ti with the ray reconstruction hack I think it's easily the most gorgeous video game I've played. I recommend the longer night times mod, everything looks like 4-7x more comfortable cyberpunk at night

indigi is right that "Lies of P" is a pretty silly name for a videogame but is wrong to avoid the game because of this, because "silly name" is a big part of the FromSoft-derived experience as much as "poison swamp" and "impossible bossfights that become winnable after you complain about them on the internet"

Honestly, I would not have expected "Pinnochio-themed Bloodborne pastiche" to result in anything good either but here we are with one of the best games of a very good game year.

Related: Spent an hour on that loving Survivor fight last night and now I feel like I am slightly less bad at videogame because instead of just getting lucky I worked out how to adapt my mediocre fighting style to him and then also got lucky.

all games should have a hint button that you can press to tell you where the ladders and medpacks are that also insults you when you press it

the mgsv chicken hat is a great idea

that's actually so wild in cyberpunk, you have this ghost in your head that could tell you this poo poo, but he doesn't care and tells you to gently caress yourself over and over


until you do the main dlc quest and suddenly there is one part where he goes "look for a ladder, v! turn on the generator, v! :D" and it feels so alien it was bizarre

they added a bunch of random color-coded rarity loot to Batman games for some drat reason and that alone is enough to keep me from trying them

speaking of which, has there been any news about Suicide Squad after the disastrous reveal? cant recall any game falling so far from grace after just one showcase

my hope is that they completely pulled a 180 and removed all that garbage, but i know those systems were too baked in to be removed by the time they showed it off

Pro controller is good for an official product

the 8bitDo Ultimate has back-buttons and Hall Effect joysticks that will never drift. havent used it myself, but its supposed to be one of the best

I got the ultimate and returned it just because it felt too small for my hands. they released a bluetooth version of the pro+ 2.0 afterward and it's great, that's what I use for my deck

Oh it is batman slop. Within 60 seconds of booting up the game you see that giant penny in the batcave. I think removing batman actually helps a lot in immersing me into going batman mode. I like the lil investigation point and click portions, they make me feel smart. I like Talia Al Ghoul. I like beating up criminals and leaving the highest level dude as the last guy so I can interrogate them.

It's good slop.

the sum of a game is how much entertainment you can personally extract from it. even slop can make for a good time if you're in the right mindset
