and its not like you can't do massive open world games with an overwhelming amount of side content. Infinite Wealth did this, and FF7 Rebirth is doing this too, but like the difference here is that those two games have actual interesting side content that is really engaging. Where UBISofts games do not.

Perestroika posted:Days Gone just felt like it had way too much game for its own good. I played it for some 8 hours and got to the point where I kinda felt like I'd seen all it had to offer gameplay-wise (aside from some largely incremental equipment upgrades), but when I looked into the completion tracker thingy it turned out I was IIRC somewhere in the 10s of % completed. Even if I were to just mainline the primary story from there on out, that just felt like too much stuff for the relatively basic gameplay to support. The final act is absurd in how absolutely unnecessary it is

For the average person to complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you'll need at least 10^106 years—almost as long as it would take for a large black hole to evaporate! This is because only when the last shred of matter in the universe has diffused into a dilute gas would playing this game be considered a reasonable use of one's time

I played 80 hours of Helldivers 1 and so far about 30 hours of Helldivers 2 playing exclusively with pubbies and haven't found any issues. Some people are jerks or griefers, but not anymore than say, Deep Rock Galactic.

I grabbed the game over the weekend and will probably play it some with friends but I only played with randos and didn't find any egregious cases of assholes. Had one open mic guy that constantly died and then got mad at us for him dying but that wasn't a big deal because we just stopped reviving him.

Judge Dredd would be great, but I feel like the real path to victory here is a new Robocop vs Terminator, together with a re-release of the Mega Drive version.

People in higher difficulties are already jerking off about "meta" builds and kicking people with subpar loadouts. The upper difficulties are pretty bullshit in and of themselves too.

the non-meta builds feel really bad because you just can't kill anything at the highest difficulties in a fun amount of time due to how armor works. for better or worse the game is a lot more difficult than DRG and other popular co-op titles at their peak.

though there's 9 difficulties so you can just play on ones that aren't 8-9 and no one cares.

Awesome! posted:loving armor scaling man. its never fun in any game. get that poo poo out of here. It’s not a thing in Helldivers though? To be clear when they say because of how armor works they mean that certain weapons either expose or directly damage weak points of certain enemies better than others.

yeah sorry. it's not a matter of scaling in that way, the higher difficulties just spawn way more of the enemies which require armor-busting (or penetration or the like) in some way. it's not a super rare trait so it's not like "use one of these two guns or you get kicked", but there's definitely some weapons and strategems that just don't function well under difficulty 9 conditions as they are now.

level 5-6 seems to be the sweet spot for helldivers shoot-em-ups, past that you need to fundamentally alter your playstyle because you won't be able to outgun the hordes even with a coordinated team

You do have to do difficulty 7+ to get the rarest type of Samples but those are only used for unlocking like 6ish different ship upgrades, 95+% of stuff can be unlocked on difficulty 4+ I'm exclusively playing with randoms in matchmaking and even though some of them are huffing farts it's overall pretty great.

If you really want to you can almost entirely stealth missions in Helldivers 2 - and it makes the game feel incredible with how well it works. Strategically taking out guards around an outpost before infiltrating it to launch a loving ICBM out from under enemy noses before melting back into the jungle. Of course if you gently caress up you're in for the meatgrinder.

Yeah, despite looking like a dumb shoot 'em up (and one of the best at it) there's a surprising amount of mil sim stuff in Helldivers 2, including stealth.

I said come in! posted:Buy Robocop if you're able to. This game is extremely good. What really sold it to me is that they got Peter Weller doing the voice, and he is absolutely nailing it even though it's been almost 40 years. They reuse the same maps a little bit too much, but it's a small dev and making games is expensive, so that's fair enough.

ZearothK posted:Yeah, despite looking like a dumb shoot 'em up (and one of the best at it) there's a surprising amount of mil sim stuff in Helldivers 2, including stealth. tbh I think this is really what makes the game so special and stand apart from a lot of other coop shooters. The game is not very upfront about it, but as the difficulty rises, picking your fights becomes really important and you really want to stop reflexively shooting everything that moves. you don't gain any progress by killing enemies and alerting a patrol into calling reinforcements for no reason can get you stuck in a pointless forever fight. watching the map for radar blips of patrols, moving out of their path or even firing a shot before repositioning to draw them away, knowing when to disengage from bad fights, and sometimes splitting up hundreds of meters apart on purpose are things you just don't have to think about in your L4Ds and your ME3MPs. the enemy patrol/detection systems along with the detailed weapon mechanics and risk/reward of stratagems (extremely powerful but just as lethal to helldivers as enemies) is just a really unique formula. those ideas were all explored in HD1 but it's impressive how well the devs applied them to a different genre which has the potential for much more detailed mechanics than a twinstick shooter where the group is locked to the same screen. and none of this came at any cost to the quality of the action gameplay, which rules too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7A8uNgwH0k Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Ok, people are bringing up that Robocop Rogue City is on sale and it's great, but me, I live a generation behind, so I'm actually curious about their previous game, Terminator Resistance: what's the feeling on that one? Is it still pretty positive, or has the reception changed in retrospect? One aspect I was curious about was how it treats terminators: I hear a lot about them being super powerful and impervious to bullets, only weak to plasma, and I like the strategic survival aspect of that, but does that last, or do you immediately turn into some one man army and start mowing down all of them with impunity?
