Push El Burrito posted:The Hulk stealth section was them making fun of the previous Hulk game which had Banner stealth sections that everyone hated. I never knew that, thanks! I just thought it was a funny little thing the devs threw in because they were amused by the idea (and rightly so).

Forced stealth sections that were always garbage seems like a fad that only died out when every AAA game became an open world sandbox with stealth elements and thus at least built in basic stealth tools to the core gameplay.

They're still there, and they're still garbage in every game that tries to sneak by without a major investment in stealth like MGS or maybe Last of Us.

Jestery posted:It kinda felt like I was playing through an episode of the magic school bus at times. But I would much prefer a game that awkwardly succeeds at a multi ethnic and non trad gender cast. Rather than tripping over their dick with an ill thought out race or societal parable. Was just a bit hard to take intertribal conflict barriers too seriously when everyone was just so nice to each other . All art is political and all thst Did you skip over the parts of the story that explain why all the tribes have mixed ethnicities?

Got further into the first optional mission in Nioh, death to bandits. THere's an interesting aspect of the optional mission in how it rearranges some things in the level. The overall geometry is identical you just do it backwards in this case, but they move the shrines to places that make more sense, but also a shortcut seems to have been removed, but it just slightly changes the flow of the level. There is a gate at the top of a hill that in the normal level you open from the beach to make a big shortcut, but the gate remains permanently sealed in the optional mission - this is probably because there IS a shortcut you can take, it's just slightly different. Instead of taking the gate, you can go on the path just past it and drop down behind that row of buildings, so an old shortcut that didn't really have a point (that I remember, I haven't played the actual level in months due to being stuck on that boss for so long, it may have led to a ladder that allowed me to navigate more of the maze) because it would have taken you backwards in the story mission, or maybe to a very small few items, now actually is quite useful. The levels are basically designed to work in multiple directions, just in different ways. It's kind of the level design equivalent of an ambigram, where there are little lines that don't make sense looking in one direction but when you turn it upside down you realise what their true purpose is.

FR whips so much rear end, and a big part of it is that Miller asked his wife, Margaret Sixel, to edit it. She had never edited an action movie before and asked him why, and he said that if he had a man edit it, it would look like every other fuckin action flick. Her unique perspective gave the movie the qualities that made it so astounding.

Like I'm undecided as to whether it beats T2 but that could be nostalgia.

credburn posted:There's a really awesome bit in Mafia III where you crash into the attic of a church, and you hear what sounds like distant hymns or a choir, but as you get closer to the source you find it's just "White Room" by Cream reverberating in the huge church halls. I'm well into Mafia III at the moment, they do such great stuff with the licensed soundtrack. The opening credits are one of the best I've ever seen, with excellent use of Paint It, Black.

Sally posted:mad max rules. gently caress I just finished the game and uninstalled it, wish I'd known about that tweak! Anyway the game rules and I liked how each region of the map had a slightly different feel to what it was. I really liked the bit very late in the game story where you are angry with Chumbucket and won't speak to him, and you can drive the length of the map with him begging you to talk and getting freaked out Had a really funny glitch though for me in Gastown when I had to do the gastown race which apparently really sucks, Stank Gum's car glitched early on and got stuck vertically in the middle of the track unable to move. So I just stopped nearby and fired thunderpoons until he explosed

exquisite tea posted:Did you skip over the parts of the story that explain why all the tribes have mixed ethnicities? No , I finished it and I it's nice that that there was narrative weight behind that. It's good I'm not Gunna dock the game points for it whatsoever. This is firmly in the interesting column and more a bit of just navel gazing. Just like, given my experiences with how apt humans are to be tribal and have issues with people for the slightest thing , you could really feel the hand of the writer just deliberately not opening that can of worms and just writing in the treatment "and this post apocalyptic society had no issues with race" There were touches here and there regarding gender roles which, while a little superficial, shows a willingness to engage with gender politics. And a triple A game being successful at that is a welcome suprise Which is fine, as I said. Not everything needs to be about everything.Better that than some failed ham fisted parable. Just it began to feel a bit childish or YA novel-esque at times for it. To sorta jump back to point of this thread of poo poo you like not poo poo that makes you go hmm , I liked the semiotics of the world how the tutorial area had the beginnings of written language starting to pop up again was super cool, I'm an interpreter by trade, and my second language lacks a written form so I have a love for hieroglyphic and symbolic writing forms, it really scratched that itch. and like how the all the tribes had a consistent aesthetic, a touch repetitive but, very cool ultimately Nil was weird but cool enough to bounce off of

Darkest Dungeon 2's tone is so rad. I love the biting sarcasm in every single "the people have been given hope!!! the loathing abates!!! good job!!!" quip from the Ancestor. On the surface it's completely straightforward: Flip the first game's theme on its head to find your heroes restoring light and hope to the world one piece at at a time instead of struggling for ground as it is continually taken away. You start equipped with desire, instead of nihilism. But then you look deeper and find that actually nothing has changed for your poor gang of idiots. If anything it's even worse for them, because now they are now actively choosing to sacrifice life and limb to bring the flame to the mountain. They give up everything! You watch them whittle away as you head down the road, becoming MAYBE friends if you maintain them really well and actively hateful at worst. Instead of being adventurers driven to the estate by their last thread, this time they came wearing full clothes and the game sees you slowly unravel it. Darkest Dungeon 2, by my interpretation, is not necessarily about bringing hope back to the world, it's moreso about keeping hope from fleeing your lovely little carriage along the way! When you stop on the roadside to spread flame to the peasantry the prompt says stuff like "We will bring you errant folk light and peace!" but what it should actually say is "helping you is the only thing keeping me sane, thank you!"

I've been playing Wildermyth, which is a tactical RPG with a procedurally generated storytelling system. There's like five ready made campaigns with an overarching narrative or you can play a generic one where you can just see where the events take you. It's extremely customizable and you can download other events that other people have made and you can do custom campaigns but it seems like nobody has done that and uploaded it yet sadly. Once you finish a campaign you have the option to put your heroes into your "legacy" and then you can recruit them in future campaigns and your party will react to them based on how much fame they've accrued. It's really cool.

I actually really liked the story of Mad Max. Having (end game spoilers) the people you’re protecting getting murdered and that pushing Max even deeper into his hole was not something I saw coming. Chum Bucket and the Magnum Opus got done pretty raw, but I guess Max really was just that Mad at that point.
