After force speed, the force push is the best power since all spreadshot, missles, and grenades can be flung away from you in addition to using it to throw people off of ledges and escape force chokes.

Higsian posted:Do you want an auction house specifically or would a way to craft/buy/whatever lowest quality/"imitation" items that can complete your build but don't take away from actual drops fit the bill? Cause the AH always seemed like a bad idea to me for anyone not specifically wanting to play the auction house. Why did the auction house die? Was it because of abuse of the horrible real money idea? Player complaints? They didn't want to gently caress with it at all when the (superior) console releases came out?

thecluckmeme posted:Batman's a series where (in its modern version) it is built on striking out with one main character with literally every other character, good or bad, serving as some kind of foil to the personality and obsessions of crazy man in a bat suit. The Joker's just one facet of a heavily multi-faceted roster of people which serve to refine a single character, and it sucks poo poo that the only major character-analysis angle we have in the Batman games is "crazy vs not crazy, law vs order" instead of exploring Batman's role as a father despite growing up without his parents, or being a man of wealth and privilege vs the poor who were forced into crime, his family's history subverting organized crime families, or his need to match wits with other super geniuses and tackle their opposite ethics while fighting a battle of the mind. That's probably because in video games, exploring those would suck. However, Batman is a fictional comic and litterary character, who could have those interesting aspects explored to a much greater degree in those mediums (and has in the case of rich man vs. poor people).

NikkolasKing posted:I found Reaver rather hilarious in Fable 3. Of course it makes little sense the son/daughter of the Fable 2 Protagonist would have Reaver as one of their top advisers, not least of all because Reaver also nearly killed them for pure sadistic sport. The total lack of the emotion wheel from Fable 2 was the greatest sin of Fable 3. Fable 2 had co-op pants making GBS threads if you both used the emotion wheel and failed the fart emote and it was hilarious, in Fable 3 you can only use like one or two emotes with a person at a time and its nowhere near as fun. Still,I did enjoy Fable 3 but 1 is still my favorite.

Yardbomb posted:I was about to say this as well, most of the bonuses are either minimal to the point of just being little novelty boosts, or you have poo poo like the NZ biker gang outfit that bumps up your melee damage by like a big ole rear end 40% and then you're slaughtering dudes too easily. Better to just dress to your mood for how you wanna kung fu assholes moment to moment. AHAHAHA look at this guy who doesn't rock the drunken master costume all the time. Its the best costume in the game since when you get face/super meter you go all Jackie Chan on fools. Like it literally changes all of your attack animations to drunken boxing while face is active. Its the only essential dlc next to the story ones.

Action Tortoise posted: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. 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.

Gitro posted:Wolfenstein: The New Order is an avant-garde ARG about trying to get a videogame called Wolfenstein: The New Order to actually loving work. Fun activities include updating your GPU drivers, finding out which menu options cause the game to crash, many hours of googling in vain hope of finding a solution and a fun console command minigame. Wow, was that part of the update? Because I just had to download a massive update since the disc version is a loving joke, and it was straight to Nazi killing goodness.

They had a classic and tasteful love tale of two people who fell in love after finding out their inner sociopathic need to kill some Nazis, also having a weird relationship seeing as how she cared for him for like 5 years when he was comatose.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Assassins Creed 3 was so bad in every single way. Getting answers instead of more questions and mysteries, way too long a prologue, poo poo main character, incredibly poo poo setting, with the most inane and stupid main quests in any game yet. "Hey dude follow this dude ride around on a loving horse for half an hour! Throw crates off a ship! Go see the villains in close proximity for the twelfth time but leave them alive! Free Forts for a rebellion that doesn't exist yet! Run around boring and bad shanty-towns!" I really liked Assassins Creed 3, but none of this is too exaggerated to be true. Game is a mess, but a fun one.

BioEnchanted posted:The main problem I had with AC3 was not actually Connor - I didn't mind him as much as many and liked his final scene with Charles Lee, but my problem was with the Naval missions, because they are completely optional - but two of the portrait targets die in those missions as they are Naval bosses - because I didn't do those missions, when Connor had finished his crusade I saw him taking the pictures down and couldn't help but think "Wait a minute... who were those two and when did they die?" Im still pissed they killed off Desmond rather than make him more interesting. I liked his bond to the present a lot more than the random Abstergo crap of the last few games.

OutOfPrint posted:To TNO's credit, the only weird tonal disconnect I got was from BJ himself. It was weird playing this brick shithouse of an American soldier who looks like John Cena with a thicker neck blasting my way through hundreds of nazis and their assorted robots when he just sounds so sad all the time. It worked well in the camp level, and his burst of joy playing Buffalo Gals on guitar was fantastic, but I really wish the VO and vocal director gave the character a little more emotional range. "world is hosed. Better kill more Nazis" Seems like more than enough emotional range for a game involving killing the poo poo out of Nazi robots. This is a sequel to 03's Return to Castle Wolfenstein and 09's Wolfenstein so BJ has been killing the poo poo out of Nazi's for years before going into a coma, and when he wakes up it's all he has left in the world.

Rampant Dwickery posted:The moment I realized you could quicksave/quickload in TNC was the moment it stopped being an unreasonable slog for me (but in all seriousness, fuuuuuuuuck the stealth section after exiting the express train). I can't think of a single forced stealth section in the game. You can just go hog wild as long as you use cover and move as often as you can safely. Always use heavy weapons or the laser/dieselkraftwerk to take out the regular robot soldiers ASAP and then focus on normal dudes.

poptart_fairy posted:Do one mission from each gang, cycling between them. Everything escalates at the same time and the whole city is ripped apart by gang war. This. It also leaves questions like "Why isn't Gat helping me fight the goddamned voodoo weed people?" since poo poo is going to hell simultaneously because that's how the Boss rolls. Also play the game co-op if you can. I know I had my greatest co-op game experience playing Saints Row 2 with a friend. You can motorcycle joust with Katana's in co-op (not very well, but its possible)

How can tasering a goon while running them over with a 100mph tank be less murderous than just running them over?

glad she is dead posted:It's a small base with guards on tiny patrol loops. I mean, by far the most common complaint about GZ is that it's incredibly short. So short that people thought Konami were ripping customers off by selling it solo. They were. Like it was parted out specifically so Konami would have something to put out that year to help recoup the cost of the fox engine development in addition to actual development time. It was supposed to be the intro to PP.
