Morpheus posted:Far Cry 5 never had the cult think a rapture was going to occur - the cult was preparing for the Collapse, nothing biblical. And, well, that definitely did occur. Whether or not the cult would've been led to the promised land afterwards is unknown, as you hosed it all up for them. I guess I had images of my ideal game in my head before even playing it. I was doomed(hehe) to find it lackluster. Although the ending reminds me of something I also hated about Way of the Samurai 4... incoming block of text spoiling Far Cry 5 & WotS4... Story wise, canonically, at the end of Far Cry 5 the nukes drops and everyone dies bar you and Seed who are locked in a bunker. But that's only if you fight him. If you choose to leave then... everything is fine? You could get technical here and say, "well the fight with Seed lasts x amount of time whereas the leave ending cuts off before the bombs drop" but that doesn't cut the mustard with me. That's just bad writing. Whatever is happening with you in the valley, the story should end with those bombs going off. Which leads me to Way of the Samurai 4. One of the earliest endings you can get is winning the Shoguns(?) fight tournament. The screen fades to sepia and it proclaims you're the winner and you go on to be his bodyguards, or something. I can't remember the details, its been years since I've played it. HOWEVER... if you do some OTHER ending and simply watch the tournament you see that it was a ploy to murder the best swordsmen in the land by dropping them into boiling oil as they stand on the winners podium... Unless YOU won... whereupon time changes and you survive and... It just winds me up because one of the big selling points for the Way of the Samurai games is the "Majors Mask/Groundhog Day" kinda world system. This short story will play out the same every time until you meddle with it and skew how things play out. So the ending for winning the tournament should be you being boiled alive, know what I mean?

Inspector Gesicht posted:Far Cry 4: The drug hallucinations in 5 are much worse. They’re all (and you get a whole lot) the loving same thing, in the same area, except each is harder because each is longer oh and did I mention there’s a time limit which is unfairly low? Like 30 seconds? You can punch a guy for +8 seconds but that wastes 4-5 seconds due to the animation so what’s the point? Also there’s so many guys that your health doesn’t regenerate, if it even does at all. AND TO TOP IT OFF the place is a confusing maze so you end up doing the new sections a bunch of times while having to START FROM THE BEGINNING each time.

The best implementation of your character tripping balls in a videogame is probably Uncharted 3, because the visual design tells me that the art director is familiar with LSD.

I get this same feeling every time Witcher 3 stuff comes up, I played through on hard or the second hardest whatever the names are first time through and the only times the combat ever really aggrieved me was when I'd get too big for my britches on taking hard contracts, then end up fighting a fiend or some poo poo way above me, but even then I still won those fights by abusing quen.

Far Cry 4 would have been better if they cut out a lot of the superfluous side-content, and better fleshed-out Ajay and Min. The main plot is essentially a short-story cut across a 30 hour game, filled with aggravating side-characters who somehow merit more screen time than the Big Bad. The whole Two Paths thing feels like a huge gently caress-you because the last time you see Amita or Sabal they go full on Pol-Pot and stupidly tell you to get with the programme, which pushes most players to shoot them in the back. There are a number of choices in the endgame but they don't change much and the game seems to mock you for trying to get invested. It's a weird inversion of Far Cry 2's ending, where you are forced to kill yourself because some rear end in a top hat who speaks too fast told you to. I think I'd really hate 5.

I hate this whole "Everyone is a bad guy!" bullshit that the Far Cry 4 has going with it. I'd rather let Min run the whole country, quite frankly, than the drug lord and sex trafficker. At least Min has charisma. My biggest problem with the game is that I heard about the easter egg if you just wait in the palace for a while, but no one told me that it spoils one of the biggest reveals of the game.

For me it was Mother 3. Not because it’s particularly realistic, but because it’s genuinely creepy when it isn’t funny, and gives you a good insight into the internal struggles of your party. Also, unlike the rest of your party, your dog doesn’t eat the mushrooms and so is completely unaffected. He’ll bark at enemies and other suspicious things (like the “hot springs”) while the rest of you stumble along like idiots. His different behavior doesn’t affect the gameplay, really (the wandering NPCs are obviously enemies regardless of appearance, and the “hot springs” still function like normal even though they aren’t) but it’s a nice touch

I guess if I squint I can understand why people might not like it, but people being all WORST COMBAT EVER is just a bit confusing. Yeah he twirls a bit too much and maybe the music gets repetitive after a while but I had a great time with the fights - especially the bosses. That Frog Prince fight at the start of Hearts of Stone particularly kicks rear end. Maybe it's because I did a magic focused build and they focussed on.. I dunno, the crossbow or something.

I started playing Conan Exiles and it's kind of concerning that the game has been officially released (out of early access) for two months and the early part of the game still has broken bits. Instead of a straight up tutorial the game has a thing where you are given a list of objectives that are designed to funnel you through learning the basic gameplay loop. You know, "find something to eat" "now cook some food" "make a tool" "make a weapon" things like that. Everything kind of designed to build off of a previous objective. That is until you get to the one where it wants you to use a skinning knife on an animal. Because for some reason the game is missing a way to construct a stone skinning knife and instead the first one you can make is iron. If you are an admin on a server you can spawn a stone skinning knife in but you can't actually build one.

Luckily I liked my sniper, and I liked blowing up tanks, so I didn't have much of an urge to just do scouts. I hear 2 and 3 fixed the scout problems, but I really disliked 2 and never got far into 3. Hopefully 4 has toned down scouts?

i tend to skip over a lot of plot in MMOs. story just generally isn’t why i play them— i’m just in it to chill out and click on things while watching videos in another monitor. that said, i do get attached to my own characters because they are in a sense an extension of myself so when a game like WoW has the class halls where there’s a ton of class specific content, i become vastly more interested and invested. they’re being provided to me due to a choice i made in how my character exists in their world. it feels more personal that way. that all being said the job quests for FFXIV’s Warrior class are consistently just the loving worst. i’m so tired of everything centering around Curious Gorge, a guy whose usefulness ceased to exist at level 50 but we still keep him around out of pity. i started Stormblood content recently and was slightly annoyed to see that once again we were going to go through the same general story beats (help someone control their inner beast) we already had. however, something that i did really like about it was the new character— Dorgono. my character is the same race as her, except while she seems to be set to the smallest available height i gave myself the tallest; and there was something wildly pleasing about the aesthetic of the smallest dragon lady and the tallest dragon boy tearing poo poo up berserker style across the continent. but of course all good things must come to an end, she’s ready to go back home. she asked me if i wanted to go with her but all four of my dialogue options were totally weenie ways to say “no”; none written in a way that i’d imagine my character actually saying. we saw her off. then the quest ends with a guy going “oh by the way curious gorge is in love with her” and like fuckin cool what i really want is a WoW style bodyguard system where you can assign yourself a follower to join you in combat. ffxiv already has something like this with chocobos! then i could continue my eorzean-style master blaster adventures. instead it looks like i get to play a part in ruining the only good quest character Warriors have had by once again sticking Curious Gorge where he doesn’t belong because we can’t loving seem to let him go jesus christ
