The inventory management in fallout 4 is real bad. Open up a locker and you get your entire inventory listed. You can sort but not filter as far as I can tell, meaning if you want to make separate clothes/weapon/materials etc. crates you have to find each thing manually. The pipboy has tabs for these things, why not inventory transfer??

Hector Delgado posted:These boss fights in FF7R. I just dunno man. I play by the game's rules, engaging with its mechanics and the fights just drag on and on. Just finished the Chapter 9 tournament and that last fight had to take at least 10 minutes. The combat in FF7R isn't great, and boss fights really show how bad it is.

Actually FF7R's combat rules, except for the part where if you're playing without a guide then it expects you to always be running one party member with every type of magic equipped or else you can't hit elemental weaknesses on a boss that requires them like the aforementioned arena fight in chapter 9.

They actually added checkpoints to the escape sequences for the definitive edition on Steam (along with some QoL additions and bonus content). Probably not worth getting now you've finished the game, but I would highly recommend the sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which really builds upon the first game (and addresses some of the issues).

Definitive Edition on GOG. On my second attempt of the final escape, I made it past two animations (the bird closing off the path behind me) that I was certain were checkpoints, I even thought you myself "at least I made it past those checkpoints" and then was really surprised when I had to start from the beginning. I was a little put off with that ending for Blind Forest, but Will of the Wisps was on a steep discount on Steam, so I still bought it. Glad to hear that it fixes some of those problems.

Evilreaver posted:I feel like Valheim's method is the best I have come across, as the skill loss isn't suuuper meaningful but your skill levels can kinda act as a 'high score'. I did manage to softlock myself once by dying on a mountain and respawning on a safehouse I had made on the mountain too far in to escape (for the unaware, mountain biomes are too cold to survive without a warm cloak that drops on death, I couldn't live long enough to get my body nor run out of the biome). I was eventually rescued by a friend (and the softlock was kinda my fault so I'll give it a pass). Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:the obvious thing is that it should take away a bonus, not provide a penalty. like you get a % bonus to experience points based on how many you've earned without dying, or something Basically the biggest sin a game can do is to make you feel like you wish you hadn't played that session at all, but that seems to be the industry standard

I had the opposite experience of you guys. I had fun with Minecraft a ton, especially playing with my kids when they were younger, although I wouldn't really play it today. Terraria on the other hand I finally tried after being excited from everything I heard about a year ago when I got gamepass. It was the hottest of garbage.

Terraria on the other hand I finally tried after being excited from everything I heard about a year ago when I got gamepass. It was the hottest of garbage. I've got back into Minecraft recently and its way better than I remember it being a couple of years ago, the level of variety they've built up at this point makes exploring a genuine pleasure. Interesting caves, biomes and giant structures are much, much more frequent and it seems a lot more generous with its resources. Trudging off into the wilderness dropping torches to find your way home really feels evocative at this point, there's always something new to see. On the creeper note, one thing I wish they'd fix is the cancel for the hissing sound effect. The distinctive sound they make as they're about to explode keeps playing long after you've killed one. In practice, you learn to ignore it, but 1 in 10 times there is actually a second creeper behind you about to explode and you couldn't tell the difference, which is a very frustrating way to take high damage/get knocked off a cliff/die. To the dude above having trouble, light up everything that's pitch black so they cant spawn near you, watch your six (block off behind you at key points) and prioritise diamond armor. Skeletons are way, way more annoying in my opinion, one of those bastards can hide across the other side of a dark cave and knock you to your doom with relative ease. Two or three of them at once from different angles quickly becomes a game of ping pong. RGX has a new favorite as of 15:34 on Oct 30, 2022 |

Including the ending, which was one of the few discordant notes Blind Forest hit with me. I couldn't see a moral other than "if someone really powerful kills your children then you should just live with it, because we need the really powerful figure more than we need you" which is a bit bizarre as morals go

That's a gnome you're looking at You are correct, a lack of brim signifies a complete lack of magical capabilities in gnome culture. All gnomes with simple, brimless hats can (and should) be disregarded as nonmagical, non-threatening folk. Pay them no attention at all!

Splicer posted:Smash your bed and kill you are self, you'll reappear at the game starting area. A long time ago I had an idea for an appropriate death penalty in WoW PvP that I thought would work, but apparently no one has considered: locational debuffs. You would incurr significant stacking debuffs the closer you got to where you died, ending in death if you got too close, and if you died in that area again, the area of the debuffs increased. The debuff area would dissipate over time. Basically, once you died, you just had to go spend time doing some other ingame activity. I think something similar might work where you're talking about.

The ranking system on GeoGuessr is annoying, there are 4 divisions: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Master. The game rigidly matches you with players in your division unless it's really quiet but beyond that doesn't care about putting people close in skill within their division together. I ripped through Silver, coming first or second in pretty much every game because most people in mid/low silver can't tell, say, Portuguese from Spanish, Japanese from Korean or know which hemisphere they're in from where the sun is when that's possible. I've gone from that to hitting an absolute brick wall in Gold since I'm now playing with people who know they're in northern Lesotho from ten seconds of looking at a back road so I'm yo-yoing like crazy. e: Case in point, having being relegated for not being close enough to an African back road early doors, I found myself in a silver division game where despite appearing right next to a large sign saying 'Governo do Brasil', several players guessed countries other than Brazil, including Paraguay which has no streetview coverage. The gap between divisions is a chasm. Walton Simons has a new favorite as of 00:27 on Oct 31, 2022 |

I bought the RE3 remake on sale after really enjoying RE2 and it is just really rough. It's weird because on paper "RE2-style game with a greater combat focus" sounds great, but in practice not so much. There's some interesting ideas, like how Jill now has a dodge button, but the timing for the dodge to be successful is very spotty and it's unclear to know when to actually do it. The Nemesis also just seems way, way worse than Mr. X in the one segment where it's tracking you down through the downtown. He just knows where you are at all times and it's very transparent, there isn't a whole lot of tension involved, he just makes exploring during that one brief moment a massive pain in the rear end. His boss in front of the clock tower also suuuuucks, he just seems to have maybe twice the health he ought to have and the fight just goes and goes. I've also been stunlocked to death or near-death a number of times both by Nemesis and just random enemies, there doesn't really seem to be anything stopping a zombie starting its canned attack animation as soon as another zombie's animation ends. I don't really remember that ever happening in RE2, but it might be because there's seemingly so many more enemies in a given room. I dunno, I just find the game kind of irritating to play. It's not at all how I figured I'd feel about it going into it, especially after the first 45 minutes or so was solid.

Yeah, I always play the distance battle royale, where you get a minute per round and whoever is furthest away gets knocked out each round. There's other modes I haven't tried, it's good fun but like all online games it gets very sweaty once you start taking it halfway seriously. There's a guy I watch on Youtube called Geowizard who is really really good at it and it blows my mind that he's nowhere near the top competitive players.

Enemy sight lines in XCOM 2 are pretty poorly conveyed. There's usually like big red tiles that go BONG if you mouse over them and tell you where an enemy can see. But also sometimes that doesn't count and if your dude can see a dude they can see you. Also sometimes enemies just get free movement because you see them, then they shuffle a bit, then see you because now you're in the red sight tile. And it's all pretty superfluous because aside from one specific class, the steath mechanics in this game feel largely redundant because you can't really do much at all without being detected, and then once you are detected that's just kind of it. Aside from the tiny handful of missions with super short time restrictions, it feels like there's no real downside to just going in guns blazing every time, nor any upside to managing to stealth everything if you can. In fact, if anything there's a downside because if you get objectives and get out without murdering everyone then you don't get sick loot for all your murder.

Asking me if I want to lower the difficulty after dying a couple times should be a federal crime. Also shut the gently caress up and let me figure out how to solve a puzzle. Why does the main character of every modern game have to vocalize "hmm. I wonder if there are any buttons I should push to get through here?" or some poo poo the second I set foot in a room with a puzzle?

It was a tragic tale but one that showed that becoming a vengeful force against something and everything attached to it creates more death and destruction without solving anything, including helping your sorrow. Did every creature around deserve to die because of this event? Like, it's hard to say what should be done, because it's really more like a force of nature causing the death of your children, and then destroying it and having everyone suffer for your rage and sorrow. bossy lady posted:Also shut the gently caress up and let me figure out how to solve a puzzle.

Oh the answer to that is easy, it's because gamers can be real dumb and killing the pace of what are typically action-filled games is very undesirable for a lot of people playing the games (not all, obviously) and also for the people making the games. It's like, the same reason there are forced tutorials. Because for everyone who knows how to equip a weapon or setting there'll be someone who wonders why their rusty sword isn't enough to take down the dragonlord.

The real thing dragging a game down is in Death Stranding, you can use a urinal or a toilet and have your bodily waste extracted to create either a #1 or #2 type grenade to damage ghost enemies, respectively. The problem is, when you use the sit-down toilet, you don't get material for both types of grenades, as you would expect from real-life experience. That's not how anatomical sphincters work! What the hell are you even doing, Kojima?!

That second point gets even more annoying when the actual steps you need to do take a while. Like once I'm climbing up the statue to swing over to the block I need to push, there's an NPC shouting at me "I think we need something heavy to press this button!" and by the time I get to the rope to swing over to the block they're shouting "I don't see anything we can use to press this button down here!" and then while I'm slowly pushing the block they're shouting "oh, I think I see something up on that platform! Can you go check it out?" Yeah dude, I figured it out like 5 minutes ago! Thanks!!!
