Tyranny is pretty short, too. I wish it were longer, but it is what it is. I think I had 25ish hours?

Khanstant posted:Love games that can handle seamlessly between em. Different things handle better with different inputs, just the way it is. Even games that are otherwise perfect on controller often have menus where it'd be a lot faster to just click with a mouse. Cyberpunk is another good example where you can switch to controller for driving.

Finished Wonder. Got a couple more levels to do, and then 100% everything, but beat the final stage. What an absolute delight of a game. Not sure where it'll end up in my GOTY list, but it's in the Top 3 easily atm.

smellmycheese posted:Cyberpunk is another good example where you can switch to controller for driving. That's a good one but make sure to do the ini edit to make driving really good instead of super weird. I did one-punch-man style combat so controller and kbm were both fine for combat -- but there were some launch exploit movement glitches easier to pull off with keyboard to give yourself arbitrarily high bunny hop speed.

The ultimate edition of Cyberpunk comes out tomorrow (just the base game & the expansion bundled), bit there's a patch with some new features coming too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B4r1jbpS2A I love that they're adding a whole loving train system just because. You don't need to use it, and the old fast travel is still there, but you can just ride the train if you want!

The train system too was actually almost complete when the game originally shipped, CDPR is just finishing up cut content.

Yeah, there's a mod that implemented and expanded on it, though this looks to be doing way more.

Jerusalem posted:That's why I've got to play it first! But if you just play the new one you'll know how the old one played - worse with less stuff in it! okokokok - let me sell you on it. In Tyranny you can throw a dude off a tower with a note pinned to his chest letting the army at the bottom know to gently caress off. You can orchestrate a rebellion while trying to kill it off and in the middle of the battle actively switch sides. OR you can say you're going to do that just to get inside and then kill the rebels! One of your companions is a loving werewolf!

The main thing I know about Tyranny is the game was sold as you playing Sauron's Middle Manager and then you weren't allowed to do that until a dlc patched it in

There is a lot about Infamous 1 I like more honestly. I liked how if you were good or bad you would see random stuff start to pop up like posters on the wall or random protests or celebrations of what you were doing.

"hyrdossity is not a word" made my top 100 most replayed songs on youtube this year, but so did a pizza tower final boss song, and a random plok song siva gunna remix.

Captain Invictus posted:well unexpectancy is one of the best final boss themes of all time so that's not surprising at least Not just final boss music but also great "oh I have a ton to do and not much time to do it" last hour of work music.

if you've not heard it yet, RichaadEB's cover is near-impeccable and has an brilliant video to it with one of the most amazing twists in history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCyBKcikfLU&hd=1 if I had any complaints it'd be just a slight quibble with part of the phase 3 cover but otherwise it's phenomenal all the way through

It's way more novel a concept. Maybe even have me get chucked off of the Eye because someone even shittier screwed me over

God that trailer looks amazing. GTA V was..... fine, but I was really sick of the "everything is terrible and everybody is an rear end in a top hat" writing style of the games by that point, which is part of why I found Red Dead Redemption 2 so compelling since the only character that felt like the then typical Rockstar writing was Micah and everybody loving hated him. So I'm really, really hoping this game is a bit more in that RDR2 vibe at least character wise.

Vice is back baby! edit: definitely aiming for the feeling of the first V trailer but its song and voice over didn't hit as hard. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Dec 5, 2023 |

Rockstar released the trailer early since it leaked apparently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBZY2fkU-0

Game looks gorgeous, but I'm a little shocked how badly 5 burned me. Show me how the gunplay feels and some decent non lovely characters and I will get hype. A little surprised to see myself this jaded, what the hell when did this happen
