Cuttlefush posted:criminal scum I don't even take anything from the things I lockpick! I'm just practicing. In fact, maybe I should offer my services as a security consultant. I'm a white hat lockpicker. Son of Sorrow posted:Decided to restart in KCD last night. I hosed up the encounter with the town drunk so bad I burned alive 10/10 I like when this game ambushes me with realistic consequences. Like when (kinda early-ish main quest) you go to the stables where all the horses were killed, and if you follow the trail away from the stables, Bernard gets appropriately super loving pissed at you for just wandering off without even telling anyone. And then when I finally returned to Rattay after doing a bunch of quests, debt collectors appear because I hadn't [spoiler]paid off the medical debt yet. The one downside to this is that it can be a bit unfair when the main quest just thrusts an urgent thing upon you. Like when you return after saving Hans during the hunting trip, are shown a cutscene, then immediately presented with an emergency and sent to investigate it. By the time all that stuff was over with, so much time had passed that the debt collectors mentioned above were on my rear end when I finally returned to Rattay. Good Soldier Svejk posted:I just don't get the point of making a game take twice as long to be half as fun This is mostly how I feel, though I enjoy some level of challenge. Persona 5 Royal, for example, is a game I consider just straight-up too easy on any difficulty (ignoring stuff like superbosses). My favorite sort of challenge in games is the sort that doesn't rely on repetition/memorization. So I don't like stuff like "learning a boss in Elden Ring" where it's literally just memorizing animations and remembering how to respond to each one. The ideal level of challenge for me is one that just requires you pay attention in order to win, but doesn't require repetition/memorization. When going into a boss fight, you should already know everything that is necessary to beat it. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 19:44 on Apr 24, 2024 |

the Eruptor bug is weird, it basically throws you in the wrong direction if you fire it too close https://i.imgur.com/LLUSnBz.mp4 Eruptor sucked me off???

Alien Isolation's difficulty settings give you a wildly different experience because of how the Alien's AI gets more routines or whatever. Nightmare mode is the best way to play if you can handle the stress

Cuttlefush posted:nightmare with a mod to give the alien a much larger leash so it actually fucks off long enough to allow some tension that sounds good. I never actually got very far in A:I (started on nightmare) but I really liked the aesthetic and atmosphere. and yeah I think it would have been a tad bit better with more rollercoaster where you need the downtime breather to feel the pinch: it can’t be constant tension. the yinyang is important to cat-mouse games I should give that a whirl after horizon2

difficulty, for me the lawnmower man, has become less about hitpoints and damage but how fast i can scramble into cover, or line up a shot, or parry a swing or physically dodge out of the way. what ive learned is all of those things require more physical coordination, but more importantly a higher level of situational awareness than if i was playing on a kb/m or controller, even an fps ive got to attempt a legit dodge roll sometime, though i suspect id just end up dodging into my wall

I hate it when a boss fight is built up as a big climactic showdown and then they just die in under a minute without putting up any fight so that’s why I like hard modes

To me it makes progression feel less like you're getting stronger and more like you're running on a treadmill, and if you do it wrong you can actually make yourself weaker by leveling up (looking at you, Oblivion)

scaling isn’t inherently bad on its own but it’s really easy to mess up by making the scaling too agressive or not too aggressive enough

Actually now I'm remembering that death stranding had a couple of boss fights that were bad on high difficulty because all it did was multiply the boss HP, the laziest type of difficulty slider. The boss encounters kind of sucked in general in that game so I tend to forget about them. A few were incredible though! WW1, WW2, and Vietnam flashbacks weren't terrible in my opinion, definitely jarring and the gunplay felt like a bad COD clone but I'll give it credit and let some things slide for the sake of being weird and spicing up the narrative. I wish they'd have nailed it though, those scenes start out tense but pretty quickly I was like ok, I get where this is going I'm ready for it to be over a few minutes ago please
