I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom and I audibly groaned when I came across a Rockbreaker-like enemy. At least it's not that tough.

BioEnchanted posted:Remember the original Doom didn't have vertical at all, it was all tricks. Hence there not being aiming vertically, you just moved horizontally and the shot would hit whether the enemy was above or below you. Nah, shots cared about vertical positoning and could miss above or below. The main limit was not being able to stand on enemies.

The torture scene in Metal Gear Solid is just mean. If you try to stick it out to get the better ending, it tells you that if you lose, it's game over with no continues. And sure enough dying kicked me out to the title screen, with my continue point being ahead of the terrible, annoying sniper boss fight that came before it

Cant you recover more of your health by mashing after a torture phase ended? IIRC back in the day that knowledge separated people who who could and couldn't do the torture part of MGS.

credburn posted:I remember holding down Home or End to aim vertically in Duke 3D. Agony. Also the Build engine was based on the same principles as Doom engine, which means you drew the level on a 2D grid and specified floor and ceiling heights. That's why all walls are vertical. Build looked more advanced because you could slope the floors and ceilings and allowed you to visually stitch different parts of the level via invisible teleports so you could have elevators and underwater sections. In reality going in and out of a pool in Duke teleported you around a flat plane.

I accept it completely. I've faced many big spiders and scorpions in videogames over the years. Other people might be so bold as to say a lot. It's good to get other cool creatures represented. Earth has had quite a few!

I don't like how bug-free toggles in video games are being called "Arachnophobia" mode. I believe anything named Arachnophobia Mode should by definition INCREASE the amount of spiders.

BiggerBoat posted:I wish Elden RIng's map had an item/key filter or whatever I should call it. Like if I just wanted to display the merchants or caves I just finished Elden Ring (or rather made it about 80% of the way through the game before I stopped playing). The map is a big improvement over the DS games without any map, but still far short of what a game from 2022 should have. One of my things dragging down Elden Ring is that when I am in a fight and pick up or receive an item, there will sometimes be a giant popup that shows what I received and telling me to Press Y to Dismiss. I can fully move and attack while the window is up, not a big deal. In the mini dungeons, I pull a lever and then a little tex box appears on the bottom of the screen that says something like "A door opened somewhere". I continue walking through the dungeon, see a monster come at me, wait to time my dodge followed by attack and instead just stand there and get hit. Because I cannot dodge, attack, or lock onto a target while the little text is on the screen. I need to press Y to dismiss it, even though it does not have a dismissal prompt. The text should not limit my actions and it should just disappear after a little time. Also, are/were player messages ever useful? I played DS2 in offline mode so I didn't see them. In ER, they are all over the place and I just ignored them. They seemed to be the same jokes over and over: "but hole", "I never expected X", "why is it always X", or "try jumping" on a ledge that clearly only leads to death.

Elden Ring's messages were consistently higher quality in my experience. Every cave had clear hints about secrets or even directions like "progress ahead, but go back and left first for treasure". People also desperately try to hint to use healing spells against the goddamn Revenants. I honestly don't even recall encountering that many meme messages aside from the omnipresent Fort Night and grass. John Murdoch has a new favorite as of 18:05 on Feb 19, 2024 |

I want to say that if you joined a group that the messages from those members would show up more, so certain ones would have better messages. They have always been pretty meme-ified though.

Pervert messages are so popular that from software referenced them in 3d Dot Game Heroes. Yuria from Demons Souls is in it and she complains about sticky white stuff. "this is no time for reading messages!!" from the original Demons is still the best one. I would put it down inside boss fight arenas. There was another that just read "did you think that there would be a hint?" CJacobs has a new favorite as of 18:39 on Feb 19, 2024 |

Helldivers 2 Weakpoints are too small, and everything dangerous has to be shot in their weakpoint, or with limited-resource weapons (like orbital strikes). I compare this to Deep Rock Galactic, which has a similar most-things-should-be-shot-in-weakpoints game flow, but their bugs have pretty large weakpoints-- Helldivers (particularly the Automatons) have tiny little heads that are hard to hit, as they bob around while moving, and if you stand still to line up a shot you get bonked for it. On that note, DRG has you being very mobile 95% of the time, where HD2 penalizes mobility and focuses on positioning. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the differences and it's frustrating as I'm becoming  and can't snap-aim like I used to.

Evilreaver posted:Helldivers 2 Did you know you can change the zoom on the marksman rifle? It makes hitting weakpoints way easier. Or you can use an explosive or AP gun. I mostly run the diligence as my primary and the autocannon or recoilless rifle as my support weapon so the bots aren't so bad. The only problem with the diligence is it's weak against swarms so someone else needs to have a machine gun or some way to clear big groups.

Coolness Averted posted:I thought doom 1 only supported mouse movement and not mouse look originally, so didn't moving the mouse foward and backward move you that way? I only played it with e keyboard, but I remember being really disoriented trying Hexen 2 after I'd been playing Half-Life because the control scheme was back to goofy things for the mouse in an FPS other than mouse look. No it definitely had mouse look (only left and right, though), this was back when everyone played with the keyboard so it felt like discovering a hack, it was great.
