Ibram Gaunt posted:Word of warning to those thinking about picking up Trails in the Sky, the game is extremely crash heavy unless you play in windowed mode at like 600x800 resolution. They're apparently working on fixing it but a ton of people on the forums are complaining about it. Personally, it took like 3 tries to get past the opening cutscene without crashing, doesn't bode well. According to Xseed's programmer Sara Leen, TitS was a nightmare of programming when it came to resolutions. I'm not surprised it's kinda buggy right out of the gate. Either way, she's working on it now so there should be some patches soon.

Not too surprising that problems got through. XSeed are a pretty small localization team, and their PC division is even smaller still, so they probably don't have too many testers. Sucks that there's problems now, but I don't doubt they'll be fixed fairly soon.

The thing is though that since it's "an anime game," you can charge more and it'll sell. People are retarded so you might be able to get like $20+ for it. Guaranteed there's ONE DUDE out there who can't live without that new anime foil badge.

The point with the new Thief is you could be playing better games instead of wasting your time and money on mediocre and badly designed game. I didn't want to believe the reviewers and the people who dogpiled on the game because as someone up there said it's mindless and probably ends up doing you more harm. So I bought it. And after about 8 hours I just exited it in disgust and uninstalled it. The legacy of the franchise is just the last straw because there are some things that are fundamentally lovely and would be lovely in any other game, too, like the small areas resulting in QTE-to-open-window-loading that people including me never fail to mention BECAUSE it's annoying as gently caress and if you enjoy exploration even little you're probably going to tear your hair out the 50th you have to mash keys to open the goddamn window. I don't usually recommend or discourage people from buying games but Thief is an exception in my book. I mean it's selling for 10 bucks now, that's gotta tell you something. And the worst is people twisting the argument saying the defenders are nostalgic and/or just want to join the hate brigade. Well, maybe the game is just bad and there's not easy way to dismiss the valid arguments just because you like to run around the levels shooting arrows.

If you want to shoot people with arrows in a Triple-A game you should be playing Tomb Raider.

All the batman games had that stupid loving button mash in order to open a vent to climb into. Sounds similar. I loving hate mashing buttons for stupid poo poo like that. And again, pricing isn't necessarily an indicator of quality. I don't know why the heck people still keep up with that poo poo about "Oh it's such a low price so fast it must fuckin' suck," well, no, no that's not what that means. Yes, sometimes there's a correlation, but not enough to have people keep saying that poo poo. I still say Dishonored is probably the best first person stealth game to come out in YEARS. So people should play that first (and its DLC twofer, Brigmore) before anything else. Drifter fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jul 29, 2014 |

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:Are you referring to the first person sections as Briggs, or the sections where you're plot-discovered and forced into combat? The entire 95% of the rest of the game is pretty much full stealth. Again, not LGS Thief or anything, but really well refined Splinter Cell. (yes, Splinter Cell is linear, always has been).

Drifter posted:I loving hate mashing buttons for stupid poo poo like that. There have been exactly two instances of button-mashing QTEs being good in all of gaming. One was God of War pulling the head off a corpse and the other was Modern Warfare 2 pulling a knife out of your own chest. This is because button mashing QTEs are ideal for making your player experience extreme discomfort and agony.

To anybody having trouble running Trails In The Sky: the problem combination seems to be 1080p resolution (plus a few other, larger ones I can't recall right now), non-30fps option enabled, hi-res fonts, and fullscreen. Turn any one of those things off or change your resolution up or down (I guess you could downscale it if you want?) and your game should run okay. I'm running at 1080p and disabled the hi-res fonts, and it stopped all the crashing immediately (though windowed mode won't even boot for some reason). Just played for over an hour without any issues. Additionally, I used my graphics card settings to force AA on the game, which made the low-res font much more readable.

It was pretty sick in the original Walking Dead where Lee chokes the main antagonist dude to death. You can stop the QTE after he passes out but I don't know of a single person who didn't keep going on the first playthrough. It was pretty manipulative, but in kind of a good way?

I didn't get that part (probably because I only had 1.5 arms) but there was also the similar bit at the end of episode 2 where you're beating on the guy and the "Mash Q" goes well past the point that it needs to, but you can stop early.

I started with the second game, and that was the one that started the series down the path to what it'd primarily be known for up until Absolution took a big flavorless poo poo all over the franchise. I've seen somebody do a playthrough of the first game, and funny enough the core gameplay actually reminded me a bit of Absolution. It was like they erased all forward progress the series made and returned to their roots of horrible acting, bad setpieces and linear gameplay.
