Devils Affricate posted:The landing cam in Outer Wilds is a "crutch" that doesn't even help, the people who use it understand neither the game's flight system nor themselves Agreed. Never got the use for it and when I tried it seemed slower than just landing by feel. What I liked about Outer Wilds space movement is how intuitive and natural it felt, I definitely crashed into the sun a few times but it really wasn't long before handling the ship felt as good as boost gliding my rear end across planet surfaces. The mini model ship though controlled like rear end, I never got those achievements even after DLC came out and I tried again. Got my sister the game and she got all the achievements like a week after she started it lol

It's good you want to acclimate new players Konami, but give players an option to loving skip it. You had the option to skip it all along, god i can't believe you didn't think to just turn the console off

The thing that I think video game auteur Hideo Kojima is most famous for would have to be that time that he assassinated former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe

MGS5's tutorial level was a hell of a lot longer than 20 minutes. Maybe an hour or two before it just dumps you into an open world? I skipped one loving cutscene out of impatience and suddenly got whiplash how fast the tone changed.

Did you just hide under the bed for longer than intended?

I remember that hospital section having at least like 45 minutes of unskippable cutscene e: Yeah it's a full hour of cutscenes before you even start the game lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pd8s1eClTE At least when I played it it was all unskippable idk about now

The funny thing about the RC ship is that it actually controls identically to the real ship, the only difference is that you're viewing it from a static 3rd person perspective, making it extremely difficult to properly orient Kinda like how RE4 technically has tank controls just like 1-3, but it doesn't feel nearly as awkward because the camera stays behind the character

David Hayter is a bad voice actor who got involved early in a series that completely outgrew him. It's kinda weird they waited until the very last game to fire him though.

His performance in 3 on is laughably terrible. Anyone still standing him to return is more interested in reveling in nostalgia than having a good performance.

His badness is what made him perfect for MGS1-3, those were campy games where you fought a man made of bees and did naked cartwheels. One boss is literally a ghost.

David Hayter may not be a great actor, but hes better than the dialog Kojima gave him. Conversely actual actors Kojima loves in MGS5 and Death Stranding fail to elevate the absolute loving stupidity that they're trying to get through.

I got Hollow Knights and while I think there's a good game there or at least an above average game every time I hit a deadend I lose a little more patience. I get that that's kind of a thing for metriodvanias but I'm pretty sure it's still poo poo. Also corpse runs? What the gently caress who asked for that? Oh and justifying the currency with maps, map upgrades and waypoint purchases is not cool. No minimap? Lol. It's important that I play games so I have fresh content to complain about.

Thing is, most metroidvanias seem to forget that the Metroid franchise are primarily 2-3 hour games, stretched purely by the player's skill level and propensity for 100%ing a game. That's why they're fun. If you drag it out artificially, the experience tends to suffer. I said, speaking from my rear end.

I never finished Hollow Knight and have a bunch of complaints but one of the last things sucking out my will to play was thinking about how little I liked the combat and then reading the DLC was a boss rush mode of various lengths. Lol, lmao, no thank you game.

Finished Jedi Survivor recently and I have Opinions I must share. After 12 years of souls-like games I think it’s time to permanently retire the concept of a boss run. Wasting the player’s time might’ve been an intentionally designed part of the loop but I refuse to pretend that I can’t talk poo poo about it. Anything else including a loving retry button after you die would be a massive improvement. In particular for this game tho, especially in the hardest difficulty - I will never get over how other me-sized enemies (especially bosses) just decide not to flinch after getting hit. You have to surrender any pretence of aggression and initiative because enemies will just decide they can tank your hit for 10% health to remove 60% of yours. Basically I rediscovered why Sekiro’s combat is fantastic by way of comparison

Yeah nobody's first run of those games is speedrun worthy but the whole shtick is that getting better at them and clearing them faster is part of the fun. Making a Metroidvania that is like 20 hours of mandatory gameplay is kind of a drag is the point I think. I feel the need to specify that I am not bitching about Hollow Knight though, just the genre at large

I imagine a fast-ish 2nd or 3rd playthrough of Hollow Knight or Ori would take about as long as the same of Castlevania or Metroid. Which are the offending titles here exactly?
