I'm loving Night in the woods but I'm really god awful at these guitar hero segments - it's really hard trying to do this stuff with the number keys.

I saw this kind of poo poo as early as Final Fantasy Legends 1 for the gameboy. Circle means yes or good, X means no or bad. Which brings up another annoyance that has thankfully largely disappeared but was present in Metal Gear and some other games: devs not switching x to confirm and o to cancel when porting to the US.

Herein lies the problem. Nintendo uses this button configuration: Whereas everyone else uses this:   So if you're switching (ha, puns) between the two types it's easy to get confused. I prefer Confirm to be the bottom button, cancel to the right. Which is how Xbox/PS4 does it. Which screws me up every time I go to play BotW lately.

This isn't directed at any game in specific, but the Xbox, PS and Nintendo controllers all put the X button on different sides if the four buttons layout and it drives me bonkers.

Len posted:Well yeah nerds are always going to be crazy vocal that they don't have the Japanese to listen to and since those people are most likely the target demographic for the Yakuza games it makes sense but drat it I like dubs. Well, the problem is that Yakuza did have dubs at one point, but they were really awful. Not even having Mark Hamil voice one of the characters was enough to save it.

At least it's less ear splitting than Tokyo Mirage Sessions with it's screechy characters yelling things at me constantly.

Feonir posted:This was the same in ME3 though. Power classes were bread and butter right up until you got your Black Widow rifles and such. A good biotic warp explosion will nuke things to death. Not sure how they do for Andromeda but it seems to follow that same kinda curve. If they have ammo mods still and combos still just hose dudes down with overload / incincerate and shock ammo. You win game good. Combo explosions don't hit as hard in MEA, which makes life a bit harder for the power classes. Melee probably has the best button-awesome connection right now.

A good chunk of the cutscenes are prerendered and I don't think they wanna spend resources either upping the in-engine graphics so they could account for different voice tracks or render every important cutscene for every language they would localize.

You can set whether the bottom button is A or B but it threw off my friends when I let them use the controller. I'm back on the bone controller bc the wiiu one has stick drift and weird input buffering with the face buttons.

I really loving hate the range on bows in BotW. The Phrenic Bow is nice but on everything else I've found so far the arrow drop is just ridiculous. It makes some of the Korrok shooting challenges practically impossible, let alone pulling off awesome sniper shots in the bullet time when you shoot from the paraglider. As someone who's not a completionist I really appreciate that there's no counters for the total number of shrines and Korrok seeds, but have they been confirmed? I heard 120 and 900 respectively. As much as I appreciate not having counters, having some in-game characters make ballpark guesses about them would be nice. At first I was hesitant to spend spirit orbs because I didn't realize just how plentiful shrines were. Also, I wish that there was a separate button for picking up equipment vs. monster drops/ingredients/whatever.

In Dishonored 2 I've started getting attacked by workers in Mission 2 who had no problem with me before, with no warning. They're in a neutral area so I haven't started a fight in front of them. Also the fact that civilians who are scared of me have the exact same audio cue as actual enemies when they see me. The game does a pretty poo poo job of giving you any idea who is about to cave your skull in and who isn't going to notice you and it's massively dragging the game down at the moment. e: Some 'workers' do and other 'workers' just up the road don't. I don't get it. Seems like the only solution is to hover my crosshair over everyone. Walton Simons has a new favorite as of 20:46 on Mar 27, 2017 |

I'm finding BotW's fire dungeon really annoying as every 6 minutes I need to quaff another fire elixir for when I need to go outside, and now I'm out so I'll need to buy more and come back. None of the other dungeons made you leave if you sucked at them but this one does. At least I only have one terminal and then the boss to go.

I've played so many games for so many years across so many systems that the bottom-vs-right confirm button thing doesn't trip me up when I switch to Nintendo consoles or vice-versa but by god if I don't have to look at the controller every time to figure out which is X and which is Y in Xbox vs Nintendo. Also I had a Japanese PSP for a while that would use Circle as confirm in the OS even when everything was set to English language settings and it was so bizarre and alien to my brain it was really crazy.

The Goron gear is for "holy gently caress spontaneous combustion" temperatures. You can also reduce your heat by keeping an Ice weapon equipped in a pinch.

Theres a quest you can do for a free peice of it along the path to the goron city and it involves catching the lizards you can use to make the fireproof elixers for free. Equip the leggings and trek back until you find some guys mining. Its unfortunately easy to miss if you're like me and just book it to the city because oh god i only have three minutes before this elixer ends and i burn to death gogogo Tengames has a new favorite as of 22:15 on Mar 27, 2017 |

GTA Online has a stealth mission where you fail if anyone sees you, or sees a dead body, or hears a needle dropping into a haystack. These kinds of missions already blow in single player games, just IMAGINE having four people on it who need to coordinate takedowns. Even with mics it's terrible. Without mics it's just barely doable, maybe. Thoughtless has a new favorite as of 14:17 on Mar 28, 2017 |

Then there's the one that's like a half hour long bike ride across the map and the longer you take the less money you earn, but you're also being shot at and the more damage you take the less money you earn. So inevitably after the longest loving mission in the game everyone votes to restart because they didn't earn enough money.

Lord Lambeth posted:I've only played 2, which I consider the best dead rising You're not wrong. Content: Playing Xcom 2 with a buddy, and there are a few moments that just don't feel properly signposted to the player. Having boss-tier enemies just show up in the middle of a mission feels kind of unreasonable, even with our people leveled up. Also, Bradford needs to shut the gently caress up during missions. I know those civilians are dying, Central. YEAH I KNOW I NEED TO HACK THE COMPUTER CENTRAL. It's especially grating because in-universe he's literally in the same room as the player character, watching the mission unfold on the same giant tv screen.
