I liked half of Halo's single player campaign, the more open levels are fun to stomp around in.

Most of my memories growing up were of friends bringing their PCs over and networking them up, it was still a communal thing. Maybe not as comfortable as a couch, at least for whoever sat their PC on top of the bar. Photo was taken during the move out so I added some detailed drawings. Red tables were where the PCs usually sat, the bar was overflow. There's a sink underneath and we used to just sit the keyboard over that.

Quake to Quake 2 to Tribes to Tribes 2 to BF 1942 made Halo look like weak dumb poo poo for babies. I got dragged into coop with my roommate and low-key hated it but I eventually got an S controller and it sorta 'clicked'. The bar to being a good FPS on a console was extraordinarily low before that, competing against things like 3rd person SOCOM  Halo 2 had some of the best multiplayer maps ever designed, and dual wielding was a fun gimmick, but Halo 2 is a pretty lovely game in retrospect (especially the cut/paste   single player campaign). Halo 3 was an absolute banger.

Amicia has become immensely unlikeable in Plague Tale Requiem when I liked her character in Innocence. Also, the game feels worse than the first one and a big example of more does not always equal better. Alien: Isolation puts one of the hardest sections in the game at the beginning and most of the game plays nothing like that section and I always felt it was a dumb thing to do, especially when it is most players first encounter with the alien and it led to a lot of frustration instead of tension. I didn't play it on release but Alan Wake remastered is a 2-3 hour game that feels stretched to 10 hours of that makes any sense. The game doesn't really get more interesting gameplay wise until the last episode or the last dlc.

that reminds me I gave up on Alien Isolation because I really hated dealing with the Alien near the start. Maybe I should give it a second chance. For reference I loved Mr. X and generally like stressful stalker characters, the Alien just felt really arbitrary about where it was/what it was doing and avoiding it was too big a pain even for me.

I like the team you rolled with in number 1 though, with like 5 people in it. Game is seriously hosed up in parts.

It's a really annoying and frustrating part that I usually exploit the game scripting on replays. Don't be afraid to drop the difficulty to get through that part. The AI can be really goofy about it.

The end of Isolation sucked., Having to run back through the entire game as everything blew up felt like it loving took forever. The ending was just a kick in the nuts after all that.

You need to treat your switch games like the bathroom pass on elementary school. You need to attach it to a block of wood. Then you can decorate the wood so you know what game it's for. As a bonus you can now hand all your game sticks from a wall mounted key chain thing and display your collection with bludgeons instead of lining them up on a shelf like a normal.

I played Warzone for awhile some years back and after a few days of dicking around I decided to check out subreddits and poo poo to see what the community was talking about and there was tons, just TONS of bitching about cross-play because of controller aim-assist. But I'm not sure I got killed even once and thought to myself, "that was aim-assist doing the work". I think that's the only cross platform game I've played besides FFXIV, and it felt like everyone was playing a different game than me because I just didn't see the problem.

People who datamine secrets from video games are total losers. I feel like there are probably people who datamine and post stuff before even playing the game. What a lame rear end thing to do when everyone could find the secrets on their own and have fun figuring them out together.

Dataminers are cool because they let us see all the cool stuff that didn’t make it into the final product like unused models and enemy types. It’s fun to be able to see all the workings of the sausage factory.

deep dish peat moss posted:"It just works" has been true of PC gaming too ever since the advent of digital distribution ~18 years ago. I can't remember the last time I had to do anything to run a game aside from download it on Steam and click Play I had to jump through a lot of hoops to run a PC game the other day. Admittedly, it was a Windows 3.1 game, but it was still a lot of hoops.

Yeah I mean what would a game be without easy as poo poo "secrets" for people to feel smart about or insanely difficult secrets for nobody to figure out. They might have to focus on gameplay and we wouldn't want that best get people to look behind every waterfall in hopes something is there.

Game publishers who want you to set up an account on their service so you cannplay a single player game on your own computer can go gently caress themselves. Doubly so when it was a sixty gig install to find out they wanted you to make this account for their data harvesting.

At one point it was clever it's now like finding cereal in the cereal aisle.

They can't get rid of waterfall secrets because you're a jaded nerd in your 30s. There are still 12 year olds out there who feel joy when they find something behind a waterfall in a game, and there always will be.

Haha that's why I refunded rockstar cowboy game, bought it on Steam and then it tried doing another launcher I had to make another account to get in the game I thought I'd just installed. gently caress that.
