Gumball Gumption posted:Also a lot of Arkane's problem as a studio was that other studios got better. The terrible enemy AI in Dishonored is a lot more excusable than the terrible enemy AI in Deathloop because there's 10 years in-between them and you would expect them to use some of those 10 years on improving the enemy behavior. https://youtu.be/DknzLFEXxog?si=hRkEYIm8-ezQN71W

ai in video games is always pretty terrible because it has to be good enough to fool the player but still dumb. apparently all that cool ai stuff in fear was heavily scripted. honestly i go back to the fear well because thats the last time an ai actually surprised me, cant even think of games with good ai that came out in the last 10 years

Gumball Gumption posted:Yeah, it's Death Loop that was a really good game from Arkane the makers of Dishonored that everyone got real weird about and decided it was unplayable garbage instead of a perfectly fine 7/10 game. I agree that Death Loop was pretty good.

stealth games in general have lost their way imo and just become action games with optional waiting in a corner here and there to make things easier sometimes

Did Lies of P get nerfed to like 1/10th as hard as it was at launch, or did a full playthrough of Sekiro between then and now make me a good gamer? Parade Master was super awkward and kicked my rear end but I just stomped his poo poo in lol edit - I'm definitely missing Sekiro's extremely generous parry window but the rally makes up for it mostly

Most players wouldn't actually want 'good ai' because it'd feel bad. If you want actual good ai that feels a bit like fighting human players then stalker with the G.a.m.m.a mod is pretty cool for that. The ai tries to flank, knows not to keep popping out from the same place and even does little side step out/shoot/sidestep back into cover, just like a human would. I've had some pretty tense fire fights in this game that were really cool without being quite as chaotic and abstract as the 300m firefights you'd get in a game like ARMA or squad also makes you really appreciate having a laser sight

If it's because the telegraphing was dogshit before but solid now I couldn't say, but the heavy weapons feeling better is definitely something that got changed. That isn't to say I'm perfect blocking everything, or even many things, but provided you just stay mega aggressive things tend to work out thanks to the rally. Holding L1 and then tapping to block doesn't seem to work as well here, but it's still better to block than get hit directly in the face. We'll see if the walls come crashing down soon, I'm not even to the first real boss yet

Parade Master was super awkward and kicked my rear end but I just stomped his poo poo in lol I played at launch and I would say around the 1/3rd - 1/2 mark or so the difficulty definitely kicks up, the first 1/3rd was pretty much a relative breeze. I got hard stuck there for awhile, almost gave up but they released a patch that nerfed the boss I was stuck on, and then i moved onward to the finish line. But also yes, they did have some post-launch nerfs to some bosses (particularly the 1/3rd mark boss and some others), longer parry, some other rando mob nerfs, and stuff. nothing too major but enough to cut some of the difficulty edge off I'm sure. but yes the game does let you play a lot of different ways. big smashy smash, or thin twinkster pencil-dick katana parry master build, or just face-tanking with heavy block. its kinda like what if sekiro had builds, but not as precise dont know about the beta->launch though.
