I assume Stubbs might be music rights related? They had a bunch of licensed songs on the soundtrack.

muscles like this! posted:I assume Stubbs might be music rights related? They had a bunch of licensed songs on the soundtrack. It was a great soundtrack! God, those are some 2005-rear end artists though! My little thing dragging it down is that I own it on steam but haven't been able to get it running in modern systems.

Captain Hygiene posted:We've had some speculation in the RE thread that somewhat convinces me RE7 had some kind of mechanics along those lines but then mostly dropped them. Like, not all the way to permanent changes, but maybe impacting your gameplay until you're able to fix it rather than the couple of times it happens and is instantly resolved in cutscenes. The blade-arm enemies can actually hack off Ethan's limbs in-game, but it's incredibly rare and mostly pointless since you can fix it instantly.

Fallout sort of does that. I can't really imagine a game that does it constantly being very much fun though. Maybe in like a multiplayer Dead Space game or something

Low on ammo, switch to another, repeat until you have a viable chainsaw target. It's difficult to main a single gun in Eternal, so if you don't adapt to weapon switching, or fundamentally dislike it, then Eternal might not be your cup of tea.

Doom Eternal is aware of the ammo-starvation-as-a-mechanic thing, the game spawns those weak fodder zombies that die in one shot and don't use chainsaw fuel in every encounter all the way up to like the final boss of the whole game. In my opinion they should have just given the player a little more max ammo when you upgrade it. Ammo upgrades in Eternal give you a whopping 2 more shotgun shells per upgrade for example which is really lame.

Well ok what I meant was they are always available to chainsaw because they use the one pip that recharges instead of the second and third pips which don't, I probably should have said that instead of being lazy.

That's an interesting question, I wonder if you physically could run out of ammo before your base pip regens. Maybe at lower levels where you don't have all the guns and you have a lower ammo capacity, but yeah, at higher levels I don't know if it would be possible to burn through your ammo for all guns even with shoot taped down.

I wouldn't mind it if the game gave enemies a stronger identity when it came to which weapon was the most effective on them a la Serious Sam. "Shoot it with whatever you want until it dies unless it resists a specific damage type or weapon, but also you have very little overall ammo" isn't a very good compromise. Telling me to use a little of everything is all well and good until you don't give me very much of anything and then I don't really have that freedom of choice anymore, do I?

Doom eternal honestly didnt feel good to me because for the most part you fight every enemy the same way, so once I got the combat down fights got stale pretty fast, not to mention it still has the problem 2016 does where somewhere around 1/2 to 2/3rds in the game just gets easier as you go. Also the dash recharge upgrade is so hilariously necessary compared to every other one it really feels like it should not have been optional. I have a very long list of gripes against eternal even though I do agree its still a pretty good game.

The worst part of Doom Eternal is that you can't just punch those guys, it doesn't hurt them. You have to blood punch them or put them in a glory kill state before you can melee. It just feels bad that you can't punch a zombie apart immediately.

Technically false: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSRl13DRPf8 So I guess it actually does some damage, but so little that I don't know why they didn't just set it to zero. Maybe some programming reason where it has to have a positive value so they give it 1 damage even though the weakest enemy in the game has 100 health.

What are the best and worst cases of nested quests? Where a simple task becomes long-winded because one step of the task takes radically much more effort? The thought came to be when playing FFXIV 2.0 since there is an overarching story, but like a lot of mmos you get side-tracked into fetching somebody's shoes or killing rats in a cellar before you can stop those Primals that are killing people in the meantime.

I very much like Larian's latest games. But I do find it pretty loving ridiculous to roll out a ~60 usd early access title. (Baldur's Gate 3) It's one thing to do a kickstarted/crowdfunded game as early access, since player feedback is a big part of that whole deal. But getting a big title, developed with WOTC, and rolling out only the first 1/3rd of it, at the price of a full AAA game is just loving ridiculous. (Especially sine a similar deal for DOS1 and 2 ended up being 20-30usd each, not 60.) (For anyone unaware, Baldur's Gate 3 is out and developed by the Divinity:Original Sin 1/2 studio, however it's released as early acces, with only Act 1 out of 3 available. With the rest coming 'in a year or so'.) I haven't gotten around to playing it yet myself, since I was originally looking forwards to playing it coop with a friend. But the price + the concept of 'play 1/3rd of a game, then wait a year? nah.' put him off it for now. Yes, they deserve the money and make good games. (WOTC less so.) But I feel like I can't really support the whole 'AAA game prices, early access release' thing they're doing. And while strictly speaking it's the length of some/many AAA games etc, it kind of feels like I'm forced to buy the ULTIMATE EDITON WITH SEASON PASS edition of a game just to access the first 1/3rd of it now.

I mean, you should be put off by the concept of playing a game in Early Access. It's a substandard product. Wait for the game to actually release, or you'll be sick of it by the time it's actually release-worthy.

Been loving around a little bit with Hitman: The Complete First Season and I can never quite tell WHY my disguise gets blown a lot of times. I make sure to holster my weapons and poo poo but the game isn't always clear about where I do and don't belong. I like the game and enjoy stealth but sometimes I get spotted for no reason. example: In one of the tutorial missions, I'm on a cruise ship dressed as a loving COP early on. I should be able to go ANYWHERE unless I'm maybe seen by another cop who knows I'm not part of the force. But no. Some random person decides I'm not legit and really need to be dressed as a chef or a maintenance worker instead so I get called out. Same with the airport hanger mission. I'm wearing an OFFICER'S uniform but the loving airline mechanics are gonna give me poo poo all of a sudden for walking around? gently caress you. Get back to work, scrub. Do you know who signs your checks?

"Enforcers" (people who can see through your disguise) should have a dot over their head. They're most often people associated with your disguise, as well as a few random people peppered around for flavor (maybe that waiter plays cards with the security guys and doesn't recognize you) The minimap will also inform you if you have the wrong outfit for your area, saying you're either "trespassing" (guards will order you to leave or escort you out) or "hostile area" (guards will shoot to kill) Trespassing areas are a mix of places you're not allowed to be (civilian dress in a staff-only area) or places where your presence would be questionable (gardener in the kitchen, chef in the bedrooms, etc)

Glad to hear that in 2020 developers still haven't figured out physics dampening and smoothing on physics/jigglebones.

I mean, the store page for BG3 explicitly says (bolding mine):quote:“We’ve learned that working directly with our players during development makes our games better. RPGs this large, with so many permutations, thrive from feedback as new features and fixes are incrementally added to the game. Early Access gives players a chance to participate in development and it gives us an opportunity to explore different game ideas with a live community. We want to learn how you play the game and use that to make it a better experience for everyone.

There's no way it will full release that cheap and tbh Larian have been extremely upfront about the fact that it's a very early and incomplete product at this stage. Nobody's making you buy it. I mean this is what's on the steam page quote:Will I enjoy Early Access?

With DOS1 and 2 a lot of the buyers (like me for DOS1) got the game for 25-30usd through crowdfunding. Which is a very different proposition than it being rolled out at 60. It meant that you got the game for a lower price, and could playtest it and give feedback as you wanted, and then at the end you got the full game for half price for supporting early. It made a lot more sense, and I did dig into DOS1 a bit, before returning to the full game a while later. But considering how a bunch of people spontaneously showed up to try to dunk on me, it obviously means some people are completely fine with them just rolling it out at full price instead. Manager Hoyden posted:My biggest gripe about Eternal is the huge number of platforming segments. I stopped playing the game after the dozenth one or so. Yup, D2016 is a title I occasionally think about replaying a bit later on, D2020 is not. Remembering the large amount of platforming that didn't really serve much purpose other than slowing everything down is a part of that.
