yeah the audio design in l4d2 kicked rear end. the torrential rain, audio stingers, echoing sewers, enemy cues, frying pans. i only played a little bit of b4b but there was nothing comparable

If all you're doing with your remake is adding more polygons to the 3D models though I agree it's not worth full price Was the GBC remake of Link's Awakening full price? I can't remember, I don't think I got that one when it was new

my_custom_username posted:I think above all else the zombies just aren't memorable the way L4D's are. Running into a Tank on Expert as the ground starts shaking and its big scary theme is blaring in the background sticks with you. None of the zombies in B4B did that for me fundamentally there were just terrible design decisions. take L4D (and lesser extent, 2) for example, all the specials are designed to be particular foils for bad survivor strategy and punish doing [x or y] and force some adaption. they're well designed to fullfill particulary components to bog down survivors in specific but very discernable ways. they all have very distinct cues and silhouettes so you know what you're dealing with and survivors can instantly plan for it and adapt. in B4B, they put specials in "just because" with no thought to what they actually do. so instead you just get this amorphous lumps that all basically just amount to "dps check" on weapons and they all just do not-well-defined functions and all look/sound the same. so there's no real tactic-foil rather than just checking if survivors have enough dps frequently -- too frequently. they lost their specialness because they just poo poo them out constantly.

loquacius posted:Does Snowrunner have a good modding scene? Seems like the kind of game that would iirc there's a bunch of custom mod trucks and skins, but not much fundamentally in the way of gameplay. https://mod.io/g/snowrunner so lotta custom trucks, not much else. whether that's anemic or not is up to you i think the most interesting thing I saw was a truck with a bridge on the back that it can deploy to cross small channels.

Flying trucks, trucking in Optimus Prime, truck cannon to blast obstacles away, mod to link several truck trailers together into a train thing or, more likely, anime girl decals for your truck

Snowrunner mods are generally 1 of 3 things: overpowered mega trucks to trivialize the maps, specific brands/models of truck that the modder themselves is just personally horny for but haven't gotten an official DLC, and logging overhauls The first one has some fun stuff because it includes very narrow trivialization like being able to deploy bridges, or stuff that's so capable it rolls back around to being almost useless like the 20x20 enormous mega truck that can't even leave some garages

hubris.height posted:ff7r2 demo extra content has been fun, i'm getting my rear end kicked and i know that means i gotta get into the menus some more One thing I realized (that was also true in Remake, but less necessary) is that blocking is intended to be the main "reactive" form of defense. The block button should be the one you hit when you're suddenly threatened. Block also has "perfect blocks" that can sometimes pressure enemies, and maybe stun them or something. Dodge seems more situational and mainly for situations where you're prepared for a heavily telegraphed attack. It doesn't work well as an "oh poo poo" button. It also seems like hitting enemy weaknesses is more important in Rebirth and often a prerequisite for reasonably staggering them. On the upside, it's also easier since Rebirth has dual-element materia and elemental character abilities, so having full elemental coverage is much easier and doesn't require constant materia shuffling.

Want to point out games in 1994 like FF6 were also 70 bucks and that's like 150 today, it's actually kinda crazy that 70 is effectively the max now and most games are less and if you just wait a year you can usually not pay more than like 30 unless it's Nintendo

Ytlaya posted:Why is that worse than "walking around getting into random battles" though? Or any of the other relatively mindless stuff that compromises like 95% of the vast majority of single-player games, including stuff like Souls-likes. I can understand someone saying this if they only enjoy competitive multi-player games, but the vast majority of single-player games are mostly comprised of things that aren't exactly super stimulating or challenging. Because video games aren't movies. They are a discrete medium.

I'm sobbing because the video games are too expensive. If I buy more than twenty games in a month i might not be able to max out my various investment fund contributions for that period. The video game developers are literally taking food out of my family's mouths.

Last Epoch was down for the early evening. I nudged my FFXIV story forward one notch. Then I went to the Golden Saucer to play some mini games. My triple Triad game went into sudden death 3 times, but I got victory and a card. My lotto tickets were all losers, but I still got fat stacks of MGP from the fashion show game. 10/10 the song is still stuck in my head. Last Epoch went back up and I nudged the game forward one notch. I need to assemble a build path sticky note and put it on my desk somewhere. I assembled the thing and I am spinning and I am winning.
