I'm sure Balder's Gate 3 is a perfectly fine game, maybe even good, but seeing all the praise for it and seeing so many people actually playing it after all the Wizards of the Coast controversies over the past couple years really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

deep dish peat moss posted:The main problem with BG3 IMO is that the Divinity: OS games are better versions of the same idea. The only reason to play BG3 over them is if you need dialog cutscenes or you're a dedicated companion-fucker. Counterpoint, they are worse and not as good,

QuarkJets posted:O.G. Dragon Age was actually a pretty good CRPG, I liked it a lot for what it was. I don't know why the advertisements were like "LOOK AT ALL THIS BLOOD!!!!" because the game wasn't like that at all, it was mostly really cool. It was a CRPG so of course there was some crazy weird poo poo in it, that comes with the territory. They hosed up so bad for DA2 that I didn't even bother with the third one You should give DA3 a try. DA2 was so garbage because EA had a major hole in their release schedule and execs made a deal with the BioWare leadership, that if they could kick out DA2 way early, they would be given as much time as they wanted for 3. 3 is my favorite of the series, by a pretty decent margin.

Alright... So I loved the Talos Principle 2, and it 'was' my GotY. But, at the last possible second, it's been pipped by 'The Invincible'. I feel like this post is probably fitting in this thread, given that the game is a walking simulator. But holy moly. I'm so glad I played it. It had a similar feeling as finishing a really good book. I was actually teary eyed at the end, but not for any one exact reason, just a swell of emotions that I couldn't really describe without some introspection. I saw a picture of it pop up on Steam about a year ago, and thought the graphics looked nice so put it on my watchlist, and that was literally all the prep I had going in. Knowing it's a walking simulator you'll be more prepared than I was, but I'd still say, just play it raw if you can. I wanna gush about the visual design, voice acting, vibe, themes, sense of wonder and horror, emotional resonance etc etc. I wanna hear you all go "Played it, couldn't skip the boring dialogue, uninstalled"

Guess they patched it No Man's Wharf is intense af and one of my favorite areas in the entire franchise. The Flexile Sentry is a total pushover, but I think that's fair given how brutal everything leading up it was. Also my latest unpopular opinion is that Laika: Aged in Blood (the grimdark furry motocross metroidvania) is the one true GOTY. Fight me.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:for me the biggest problem with Dark Souls 2 was weapon degradation. It turned me off it. Same reason I didn't really like Breath of the Wild. I didn't even remember that DS2 had weapon degradation it was such a non-issue. It was an issue in The Witcher 3 though, which I presume you also decided not to play? Pretty huge mistake in both cases imo

It's not good enough that somebody doesn't care about the flaws they have to convince themselves anybody who sees flaws is somehow ineligible to see them. If you didn't play imperfect games this wouldn't be a problem. edit: I've got Elden Ring sitting on my Steam Deck and I should play it but won't because it's bad and I rather post that it's bad. What if I like it? What if I'm wrong and play a fun game? UNACCEPTABLE. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Dec 31, 2023 |

I've observed that unlike a lot of other massively popular franchises, Dark Souls fans tend to be pretty open to criticism about their game. They'll often admit openly that these are flawed games, that they're not for everybody, that it's okay to not like a Dark Souls game.

deep dish peat moss posted:I played hundreds of hours of DS2 and never had a weapon break. It wasn't even feasibly possible unless you were playing on PC with a framerate unlocker since degradation happened based on the number of frames the weapon spent in contact with an object, or if you were going for a zero-bonfire run since it would take like 3-4 full zones of use for a weapon to break and resting at a bonfire repaired them. It was a weirdly vestigial system that got scrapped or nerfed out of relevance at some point before release. it was patched post launch, weapon degradation was really bad at launch

I've had one warning about my falchion being near breaking so far, and I didn't feel like I was doing an exceptionally long trip out or anything. It gave me pause for a second, because weapon degradation is a bullshit mechanic in all games (said by someone who adores System Shock 2, no less) but it doesn't feel like it's going to be a problem. A potentially bigger problem is that it appears enemies stop respawning if you kill them too much? I like to farm.

The Moon Monster posted:Is this game good if you find the idea of a Marvel B-list dating sim utterly unappealing? The gameplay looks cool, but I don't know if it's worth gritting my teeth through that poo poo. The combat part is really fun, the dating sim and abbey exploration stuff is not fun. You can spam right click through all the dialog and skip all the cutscenes and your playtime is still going to be probably 50% non-combat stuff. It also does a pretty annoying thing where a bunch of poo poo that should happen through a menu (all the strategic layer stuff like research, sending heroes on missions, upgrading things) is done through the diegetic UI of running around the abbey interacting with various things, and a lot of your resource gains come from running around the abbey clicking glowing orbs. Also it has really hardcore cheat protection stuff so you can't just cheat for resources to skip all of that, because cosmetics in this singleplayer game cost real money and they don't want to risk someone cheating for the tokens to unlock them. I think it would be a great game if the whole abbey side of it was replaced with a menu ala xcom but as-is it's just okay. I've liked it less and less the further I've played because all of the running around talking to people and interacting with objects gets really grueling. The best parts of the game are when you're between story missions and just grinding random missions because there's not much cutscene/dialog skipping to do there and you can do missions almost back-to-back. But also it kind of feels like it was designed to be a mobile game. I mean it doesn't feel like a mobile game, you can just tell that they designed it in some ways with the hope of a mobile release being a big cash grab selling cosmetics and resource packs etc (I don't think they actually sell resource packs right now). idk I'm still playing it anyway because I do enjoy the combat encounters and that stuff is pretty cleverly designed but no I wouldn't recommend anyone go out of their way to play it unless you really want a Superhero Friendship Sim. Though I will give points to it for being such a dialog-heavy game and making it extremely easy to skip through the dialog and just pick options that give the bonuses you want. But mostly I would say that if you are interested wait until tomorrow-ish when it should be in a Humble Bundle and you can pick it up for a couple bucks. juggalo baby coffin posted:it was patched post launch, weapon degradation was really bad at launch I played it on PS3 launch day and every day for weeks afterward and never had a weapon break  William Henry Hairytaint posted:I've had one warning about my falchion being near breaking so far, and I didn't feel like I was doing an exceptionally long trip out or anything.

DS2 has a nice system for managing unique enemy respawns, you can basically go to NG+ in any area by using a Bonfire Ascetic. This also respawns items, chests, etc. So if you badly want a second copy of some special weapon you can easily get one, it's a really cool idea. And you can do this multiple times per area

The problem with Elden Ring DLC is that there was already so much base Elden Ring that everyone I know was burnt out by the time they crossed the finish line. The Haligtree already felt like DLC.

Devils Affricate posted:DS2 is great if you like looking poo poo up on wikis because it has 30 special doors that take special keys but there's only like 15 of the special keys You get those keys by helping the rats out with their covenant. Since it's PVP focused that's a bit more difficult to do now, but it was relatively easy to unlock everything. Rule of thumb, the ones where there are a shitton of the doors are for traps and monsters for the PVP mode. So you don't need to open those if you don't want to.

That's also kind of a silly complaint because, outside of the optional, skippable (you can just run straight to the boss after you enter) pvp zone focused around them (where you can farm lockstones by killing rats or pvping) which has a bunch of doors that do nothing except enable traps or adjust pathing through the pvp zone, there are 14 lockstones and like 14 doors to open with them, and none of them are necessary at all and generally just make the area they're in slightly easier. e: Okay I looked it up there are like 17 doors. But only one has anything particularly good behind it (a soul vessel, which is only important if you wanna respec) deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jan 1, 2024 |

A potentially bigger problem is that it appears enemies stop respawning if you kill them too much? I like to farm. Joining the Covenant of Champions located in Majula turns off despawning. If you ever want to farm an area just join the covenant for a bit and then leave it when your done. It’s much better than ascetic farming (which you shouldn’t do) since it doesn’t permanently raise an areas and bosses difficulty, use a resource, or desync your NG+ cycles.
