Trinity Souls of Zill O'll - Its one of those games where the camera won't go through certain walls and so resists attempts to rotate it. Not something you want in the middle of a battle with a lategame enemy that can 2 or 1 shot you and takes minutes to kill. - I've suffered a few deaths from attacks that I couldn't dodge either because my character was just getting up or was switching to a character who about to be hit or was next to a wall and suffering the same camera problems above. - The lategame enemy I was thinking of above is weak to holy. Both holy attacks are seemingly worthless. One is an aura that takes 2 seconds to activate and standing still long enough can be a bad idea. The other is a short range, small energy ball that only did visible (less than 1%) damage when done from the air which leaves the character stationary. Even then this damage is only during limited windows of vulnerability. - Each character has 12 abilities and the action palettes can only contain 6. Obviously it gets to be a pain in the arse going into the menu to change it around to match enemies' weaknesses. I don't see why some abilities couldn't have been assigned to the same button e.g. a roundhouse slash being basic attack + a direction rather than needing it's own button. - AI party members kinda suck. They usually stay right next to the enemy even if their attacks are ineffective which oddly isn't that much of a problem as the enemy usually focuses on the character you're controlling leaving you feel somewhat of a chump for dying while you're stupid AI allies are undamaged. They do not seem to know the enemies' weaknesses and may also be limited to action palettes you've chosen for that character.

Googling it, Magic Online seems to have done it the same as Magic Duels (although I never played it so I may be wrong there). Were there other video game versions? Maybe I'm misremembering but isn't it how the Planeswalker MTG games arranged them?

Just liberated the first half of the second island in Viking: Battle for Asgard and the war sequences are annoyingly inconsistent with how they work - normally, at least to start, you have 0 dragon stones to call down an instakill on a strong enemy, like a shaman. The fights normally start with you fighting an elite enemy, getting 2 stones from him then blasting one of the Shaman's to quickly get rid of it which is fine, but then it becomes impossible to find another one, and if you do it doesn't drop and dragon-stones leaving you to kill the shamans with Bruteforce, which sucks. At least for freeing the portals during the last stage you can lure you army close to it so they fight the enemies for you while you mash B to summon your shaman and end the fight. I can never do that with shamans though so I'm always stuck alone surrounded by enemies with my army miles away fighting the infinite mooks. Really annoying. At least me sucking at the stealth thing there was entirely my fault - I failed to see where the game wanted me to go so wound up fighting way more than I should have before I found the route it intended.

You know, everyone makes fun of Nathan Drake for having the bodycount of a war criminal but no one ever makes fun of him for being incapable of going to the corner store to get a gallon of milk without falling off of whatever he's walking on, losing grip on the thing he grabbed to break his fall, and then hitting the ground hard which had to have resulted in three cracked ribs. Uncharted 4 tried to ground the series by introducing mundane life stuff, but I'd love to see Drake trying to deliver a package to the post office only to end with a running towards the screen setpiece as he's being chased down by a mailman's truck.

I loved Uncharted 4 but the thing that drags it down for me is the Epilogue since it kind of kneecaps most ideas for a sequel, since Golden Abyss showed that other studios can handle the franchise, and Uncharted without Drake is kind of wrong since the franchise is built around the interactions between him and his crew. Also, in Injustice 2 as far as I know, there is no way to buy individual pieces or select pieces of gear, even for real money. I still want some Nightwing gear for Robin, but the poo poo never drops.

I was confused when I saw the Uncharted spinoff starring Chloe and Nadine of all people. She almost seemed like she was gonna do a face turn at the end of 4 but does the most dickish yet sensible choice at the game. Cutter would have been the better choice imo. I liked Rafe as Drake's rival, but the scene where Rafe buys off Nadine's guys comes off way too late for it to matter, especially since Nadine fucks Rafe over literally in the next scene.

Didn't she have, like, one guy left at that point, who is bought by Rafe and then dies off camera immediately afterwards?

P much. I like how this game is more 'grounded' with the adventure stuff and that the villains are fleshed out a little bit more than in 3. I can at least follow how Rafe and Nadine are getting everywhere unlike Talbot who I swore was gonna be some kinda Nyarlathotep / Randall Flagg type character who was manipulating Marlowe but in the end was just a really devoted toadie.

This is less "dragging the game down" and more "least favorite little thing", but I wish the loser of an Injustice 2 match would stay laid out on the floor rather than getting up and assuming some dumb pose. It's annoying and less gratifying than seeing them completely knocked out.

The wraith enemies in Victor vran can suck a million farts. Zipping around, can charge up gently caress patches of ground and have fast, fairly hard hitting attacks. There's a really souped up one in the last area I was in and it was miserable to fight. Pretty drat good otherwise so far.

Nier Automatas first ending just kinda happens and it does at the point where the original Nier hit its mid-point and turned its narrative on its head. It's just kind of disappointing. Also, hacking is a garbage mechanic I hate the game for the making you drop having two weapon-styles in favor of it.

I've even got 30 all recoveries so I'm not out Unlike in metal gear rising, you still die if your hp hits zero even if you have auto recover. You're getting hit hard enough that you go from >30% health to dead. The auto recover isn't as good as it sounds, so you might want to get used to manual healing in combat.

One thing I found annoying about the first playthrough was how there's a point in the story where a bunch of sidequests will just automatically fail if you get past it. There's no real indication that what you're about to do is going to be this big elaborate thing that will cause that to happen. On the plus side the second playthrough starts all those quests over again so you have a second chance.

There's an escort quest you can accept on your first run but has to be impossible to finish since you wouldn't be at the same level as the enemies in that mission. You're expected to return to it during the B run because you should be properly leveled by then and Nines' hacking trivializes mobs.

Oh my god the third resource tower. The second boss one-hit me somehow and down goes 40 minutes of gameplay. I swear, what Automata's stranger gameplay conventions all have in common is that they are all bad and the game would be better without them.
