Wait until he find the 360 NoScope item and angrily demands a refund KB+M is the superior way to play Gungeon anyways. The minimal precision lost on tiny degrees of movement is far outweighed by the unparalleled accuracy and tracking of a mouse cursor in that game. And if you really need to use a controller due to idk the hand cuffs around your wrists, you can even set the degree of aim assist in your config options.

The Ripper DLC for AC:Syndicate is surprisingly good but it does have some odd bits like:

bony tony posted:Wait, you play as Jack the Ripper in that one? Neat! Yeah a handful of missions in the DLC are played from Jack's perspective. I really liked the DLC overall because it felt like an actual response and follow-up to the main game Characters have changed, London has changed, and the mechanics have a lot of clever twists on those in the original. It's still got AC's normal problems (including a few that the main game partially addressed) but it was a good followup to Syndicate. It's just weird that they don't want Jack killing civilians, especially given the way the Ripper missions are structured.

Hey, Horizon Zero Dawn, maybe don't make a point of having fights against powerful flying enemies when the camera absolutely can't handle fighting things that are above you. The camera can't look all the way up so you're boned if the enemy's directly above you, and even when they're further away you often end up with bushes and grass obscuring your view.

I really don't like 3rd person shooting/action games. Like some are ok, but once you get into multi player modes, it's terrible trying to aim (yeah I know the benifit is being able to see around cover or for platforming).

The camera in HZD is the only major weak point in the game. It’s so bad about having bushes obscure your view completely.

The camera is usually a weak point of a third-person fast action game, moreso if the action takes place in any tight spaces or height plays a factor or they want to keep the character on-screen always. On that last point it's always funny to me that third-person games like Ghost build in a function for switching the camera sides when aiming because the problem of the character blocking the player's view seems like it would be better solved by removing the character with transparency or zooming in farther to just their hands and weapon so it's briefly first-person.

This is just one of many reasons that the only way to fight these things is to shoot them with approximately all of the harpoons in the world. The camera can't struggle to look up if the enemy Is tethered to the ground with so many ropes it looks like it crawled under a hammock.

This is a problem with the engine - everything behind the field of view more or less ceases to exist as the camera moves, so putting it straight up does wacky and unintended things. Not that that makes fighting things in the air any less annoying. A serious case of not designing around your engine limitations.

That's weird, because Death Stranding is made in the same engine and it can handle looking up. (I tilted the camera up to see if they modeled rain falling on the "microphone", which it sort of does.)

In Death Stranding's case it's not the same engine as it was worked on by a different team from Guerilla from 2016 up until 2019. Horizon was in 2017 and it technically started on the same engine as that Killzone game nobody remembers from 2013. e.g someone uses the copy device from The Prestige to make an exact double of themselves. One of them becomes an Aid worker abroad while the other holds a dead-end job in a jam factory who posts racist memes on reddit. After a while they're two different people with little crossover. I'm not good with the analogies. Inspector Gesicht has a new favorite as of 20:25 on Aug 22, 2020 |

Death Stranding also includes a homemade solution to some camera issues. You have a radar on your left shoulder that detects enemies, but since Sam is on the right side of the screen you can't really see it when you have a big wiggly box stack. To get around that you used to have to click the stick to swap shoulders or play camera twister constantly to see the thing. The first major patch addressed this by making your backpack and cargo see through when you're in enemy territory and it's blocking the radar scanner. Edit: what I'm saying I guess is that camera issues like that are a case by case basis kind of thing, usually it's up to the individual devs to work out a solution.

The gamingbrit did a video of the series. His opinion is that it sort of peaked at 2, and he found the premise of Shadowfall incredibly contrived. I don't know of anyone who remembers much of the series or wants another installment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko8WgF0XVLc

Having experienced all of the Killzone games through guesting on a certain someone's let's plays throughout the years, I can safely say that the Killzone franchise rules from start to finish- with the asterisk that the aiming looks pretty sluggish and I'd prefer a mouse were I to play 'em myself.

Killzone 2 is real good as a pure shooter. i think it's the closest we have to a modern sequel to Black. super satisfying to play and the world is really interesting. Overall though i think Mercenary was a far better game and is my fav of the series. if it wasnt Vita exclusive i think it wouldve done much better

Eclipse12 posted:Buying games you've never played before and the Complete edition is the only/cheapest option available. Games that don't organically integrate their DLC content are awful. Sleeping Dogs had a similar issue where you would start the game and be rewarded with so many boosts and bonuses that you had no reason to actually do any of the side content because your cop/criminal exp would be maxed and you'd have all of the skills and everything plus infinite top tier weapons and vehicles. Of course "Just Don't Use Them" is an option, but that's harder to do when you can't not use the exp you're given.

At least the Handsome Jack Collection: Borderland 2 only starts with a few mildly useful tools but nothing gamebreaking - a couple of slightly above average (for the start of the game) guns that quickly get outclassed, a boost that allows rare items to drop more frequently and the DLC locations being added to the fast travel system. It doesn't break the game, it just gives you a couple of options. Speaking of borderlands 2: it just did something annoying - I was trying to get the power core to get into Sanctuary, but because I died trying to kill 20 bandits and had to run a long way to get back, it despawned the core so I have to reload the game, which apparently fixes it.

The GOTY Edition for Shadow of Mordor was especially bad about this because getting the most out of that game’s systems involved regularly dying and the OP DLC weapon runes more or less trivialized the entire first map.

Sleeping Dogs did it right by hiding the red envelopes full of ~a few thousand dollars apiece around the game world so you had to seek them out on at least the first playthrough, and then did it wrong by giving you several levels in triad and police EXP for free for no reason from the start of the game. Thankfully you can now disable individual DLCs on Steam for most modern games so it's not a big deal.

Remember having to upgrade my PC just to get sleeping dogs to work, it would crash during that opening chase sequence. I'm glad I did because that game ruled, I had more fun crashing/jumping cars in that than any GTA game just because it felt like you weren't supposed to be able to do it. I kept landing next to a pork bun stall and would trigger their comments about my sexy shoulders after landing the most ridiculous stunt. That game had a lot of weird things going on, I found out later that a lot of content was either removed or never finished, so loads of systems in the game were just broken.

On the subject of dementia/alzheimer's in video games I thought it was poorly handled in Ghost of Tsushima where you come across that old lady who teaches you how to make poison darts then slips into total senility over the course of like 3 sidequests. I could see what they were going for but maybe think about how players are most likely gonna do all those quests all in a row if you let them. It turned what could have been a tragic and gradual decline into "welp here I am your old caretaker that you've never seen or heard of before 20 hours into the game, whoops now I can't remember anything and I'm dead, have fun raiding the castle." Comical.
