Luvdisc? None of the clothes should be version exclusive, anyway. You can unlock some to buy from seeing other people online wearing them, but some you can't, like the Houndoom shirt.

Phantom Pain was a blur, from the LP of the game I watched- and not in a good way- so I can't really remember with 100% accuracy but I think the cutscene to gameplay ratio is better than 4's, once you get out of the hospital.

MGS5 has less cutscenes than other MGS games, especially 4.

I don't mind the whole mecha musume concept, where they turn vehicles and such into girls- it's weird, but sometimes you can get some cool designs out of it. It's just that between the super-skeevy costumes of most of the girls, and the fact that they're representing Japanese WW2 ships as 'the good guys' is something that's really disturbing to me personally.

Suprisingly, the clones of Kantai Collection don't do that. They have boats/planes/tanks from nearly every country involved in WW2, all on the good guy side.

Hanako's the fat girl, not a social link at all.

I'm still not sure why they paired Hanako up with Kashiwagi, on the basis of both of them being desperate for a boyfriend. In an actual high school, Kashiwagi would have no problems hooking all the straight teenage boys she could ever want, instead of constantly failing at her "get laid quick" schemes.

The Outsider really was the best character in Dishonored 1. They nailed "god who is bored out of his loving mind". Like when he mocks the people who worship him in hopes of gaining power, because he'll just bless whoever, as long as they're not boring.

The physical embodiment of evil incarnate? I think I did the right thing attacking her.

The demons aren't evil incarnate any more than spirits are good incarnate, they just embody "negative" emotions and values. Hell, the Mage origin has examples of neutral demons, and a malicious spirit, and then there's Justice and its views on the world.

She was actually making that Templar truly happy in exchange for the link. It was an illusionary family, but that's still more than he could ever get after becoming a Templar.

There's a similar reason for P4's death game over and P3's.The MC is the only one in the party who has been granted his Persona by Izanami, and is thus necessary to stop the other people Izanami "blessed" and then Izanami herself.

Everyone else in the group gains their Persona the "natural" way, by accepting their Shadow. Even the initial murder victims could have gained a Persona, if they hadn't angered their Shadow and been killed by it.

Mass Effect 2: Cerberus. Now I haven't played that far into it so there's presumably a lot of twists to come, but man am I getting fascist paramilitary vibes from this group Shepard is now forced to work for, down to the assurances that "we're not anti-alien, we're pro-human!" Like as presented the organization is still shadowy and kind of untrustworthy but also "They're doing the stuff the Alliance won't" and you're still wearing the goddamn uniform. Also they've apparently stopped the horrible human experimentation they were doing in the first game, but maybe not?

Nah, they're still doing horrible human experimentation. How do you think they brought Shep back to life?

Also you can tell TIM to gently caress off pretty much constantly.

I hate games where graphical/audio settings are tied to user profile. Games I can think of right now that do this are Dragon's Dogma and Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. They are MAXIMUM VOLUME during the dev logos/title screen, and only once I press start do they adjust to the reasonable volume I keep them set at.

Dangan should always be listened to at max volume.

Witcher 3 mostly works because it's a relationship set up in years of books, because doing that poo poo in the span of a game usually doesn't turn out well.

On the other hand, whenever Mass Effect 3 started incorporating stuff from the books, that was the first sign that I should probably stop playing.

But Kai Leng got clowned on constantly ("Tell him he was fought off by a dying Drell."), and he straight up whines when Shepard mocks him over being a loser.

Sacred 3 is a completely different style of game, and might as well not even use the name. Sacred 1 and 2 are great, though, and I liked that the different characters had unique semi-main quests and different starting points on the map.

Pok�mon is literally designed so that you can beat it with any team, barring intentionally trying to fail. The only time X is better than Y truly matters outside of multiplayer is elemental weaknesses.

And I don't know if the plot ever manages to put you in a place of prominence beyond the usual Protagonist Who Will Fix Everything (by doing all these quests and hitting stuff with a sword).

In Amalur, you are a literal messiah figure (the tutorial/intro reveals that you are the one successful resurrection from a massive experiment), and the sole person who can stop the big bad, because of this (the setting is a world where "Fate" is an actual near-omnipotent force that controls EVERYTHING, but since you were a mortal who died and forcibly came back, you are now outside of "Fate" and are able to permanently kill Immortals). The side quests are the usual things, and are ignorable (there is an absurd number of side quests, so follow Nier's flowchart), but the main quests are you getting directly involved in what's going on in the big leagues and personally putting a boot to villains.

Also you can customize your appearance and there are multiple races, so tick that off on that list.

Hey do you remember fun abilities like slowing down time or summoning poo poo well instead of them being cool spells we made them potions now. Why? Uh well

You forgot that it also removed the ability to choose what interaction you have with NPCs. You just had a generic button instead of a nested wheel of emotes.

Morpheus posted:

Looks it's really simple, the fal'cie told the characters, who are now l'cie, to do a thing, which is destroy a giant ball in the sky with humans in it, or they'll become cieth. The l'cie characters say gently caress that, they are going to follow free will, then they exercise free will by causing the ball in the sky with humans in it to be destroyed. But luckily their 600-year-old friends turn into immortal crystals and save everybody. Then the main character vanishes. The end.

Edit: There's a guy named Hope who whines like a bitch and a guy named Sazh who is cool and also worthless in battle.

They were supposed to kill all of the humans, which is what they didn't do. They just wrecked the fal'cie and the ball itself, and "freed" the humans from the fal'cie.

Also Hope was a literal child whose mom got killed, right in front of him, by her buying into Snow's bullshit, then got forced into a literal suicide mission and became a fugitive marked for death. He had every right to be "whiny", and it's still weird to me how people hate him for it.

If this requires you to do more than hold down a single direction it's significantly worse.

Spinning on Tauros was the fastest I've seen an egg hatch across all of the gens. You don't even need to spin the stick fast, just enough to keep Tauros rotating. It's not as "easy" as wedging the stick to one side, but it's fast as hell, especially with the hatch speed boosters.

bookkeeper posted:

Content: In Nier: Automata, you can perform a counter by using your evade button at the right time and attacking back at the enemy. Great. It then anime-lifts the two of you into the air so you can sword combo them. Also great. However, some enemies can't be knocked into the air, so you dash into the air by yourself like an idiot and can't hit them.

On guys that can't be launched (or a bunch of little guys), you can use your Pod attack button to instead launch a rocket at them. Hitting heavy attack will also make you drop back onto their head, if you do fail a launch. Alternately, use the actual Counter command to knock them back but not trigger the launch if you immediately attack them.

All of them, except Skyrim, had a prompt at the end of the tutorial that asked if you wanted to recustomize your character or exit. So you just ran it once, saved at the end, then used that save as a jump off point for every subsequent character.

It's not attacking old Dante though, otherwise they'd go for more jabs like how dual pistols are so lame, just that the new guy wasn't aping the old guy.

It was a scene essentially saying that Dante's original design was not good. DmC Dante saying that white hair looks terrible is a pretty blatant jab at every previous Dante's more popular design, especially when his new look was one of the things fans immediately disliked.

If by ape the character design, you mean make Dante look like literally every other Dante in the Devil May Cry franchise, then yea. That's what people wanted out of a Devil May Cry game. People wanted more stylish action starring Pizza Fiend Dante, his Lil Buddy Nero, and Crazy Uncle Vergil.

If they had only dropped the white hair, that would be different. But they specifically made a scene just to say that white hair would look terrible. Nobody would have been as mad about it if they hadn't added what the complainers viewed as a "gently caress you" to people who liked original Dante more.

I do not know how you can not understand why that pissed people off.
