Or you can just kill the NPC's to get their rewards, usually the outfits they wear, which worked for me in Souls 1 and 2. I actually did the questlines eventually though, but killing them is far more funny.

The biggest thing dragging down the Timesplitters series is Crytek sitting on the franchise and refusing to re-release the games in HD, even as the company slowly goes down in flames.

muscles like this? posted:The plot of DAI is kind of wonky. It starts off with this whole "Breach in the sky" thing and the only thing anyone talks about is closing it. Except after three or four story missions you just kind of unceremoniously fix the problem and that's it. The game then starts up a whole new plot about this bad guy. The bad guy who was introduced in DLC for Dragon Age 2 no less.

Evilreaver posted:The new patch () also added Expert Worlds, which appears to make all the bosses nearly impossible. They do more damage and move faster as well as having extra stages and moves. I used to be able to take on the Eye of Cthulu with garbage and spare parts, in Expert I had to get a full gold suit, buff potions and a shotgun. The Brain and Skeletron nearly instagib me. I don't know if I can handle it solo at all, let alone hardmode content. Skeletron Prime's gonna be fun on Expert Mode then.

Super Mario Maker is an incredibly fun toolkit where you can build your own Mario levels using a number of items from the Mario Series, but the thing dragging it down is the Playerbase itself. The overwhelming majority of user made stages are Kaizo Mario inspired nightmare stages where only the creator and the grognards who like this stupid poo poo can complete them, I at least try to make my own stages completable by anyone, children included, who are funnily enough, the target market for Mario games.

Inspector Gesicht posted:Can you play as characters other than Mario? Hell, a good selling-point would be a character-creator in the Mario-style. You can get character skins of other Nintendo characters but can only use them with the Mystery Mushroom item in the Super Mario Bros tileset, but its nothing but a pallet swap of Mario, you can't even play as Luigi normally, he's just a character skin.

It's also fairly barebones as far as map editors go, the only Mario series boss you can use is Bowser and Bowser Jr, no Koopalings, Boom Boom, Reznor or anything, there's also no options to add background decorations so a lot of maps just have a crapload of dead space and empty backgrounds. I do realize that Nintendo want this to be as user friendly as possible but, now that the maker has been out for a few days, I am starting to chafe at the lack of features like the above mentioned ones.

StandardVC10 posted:L4D is well balanced, but lacking in variety and replayability. L4D2 has more of those things, but has some levels and mechanics that are just badly designed, which is pretty unusual for Valve. As a game build around teamwork and co-operation, L4D 1 and 2 are really, really prone to trolls screwing everyone over, all is takes is just to suicide yourself or kill a teammate since friendly fire is a thing and you may as well call it quits, especially on higher difficulties. Either play it with friends or use the bots, even though the bot AI is well known to taking its time in saving you.

In Versus mode when you could see other players perspectives when dead, I did wonder why the AI players would suddenly focus on the ceiling or a distant wall, they were watching the player or AI controlled special infected behind them, as you said, its clever but utterly ruins any ambushes you set as the AI always knows.

Krinkle posted:The problem with diablo 3 is how anyone gives even the slightest of fucks who you are before you do anything. In diablo 2 you're following around the wanderer and never quite catching up. Everyone you meet is just "holy poo poo! we got problems! that guy really messed us up! for god's sake grab a bucket and help us with all these fires" and every boss you intrude on basically says "who let you in here?" like you don't even matter. It owned! Now you have every boss calling you up every 30 seconds from when you enter their zone to when you kill them to taunt you about every single quest stage you'll "never be able to do". "Arrogant Nephalem!" will be the words every D3 player takes to their grave.

AI Controlled Characters in Dragon Quest Heroes don't have much sense of self preservation, I am looking at you Nera, stop running into melee range of the Golem who does big aoe's and hits like a truck, you are a caster, run away! She's actually pretty powerful if you control her directly, but that's Warriors games for you, incompetent allies are a series staple.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:That was mostly because her entire family was military and her grandfather was the first person to surrender to aliens when humanity first started running into other races out in space. She spent her whole life being poo poo on by her superiors and even aliens because of that. I might be wrong but I remember her stating she was religious because looking out at the stars and the beauty of the galaxy affirmed her belief (also it helps her cope with the death of her family members/team). Pretty much this, Ashley spent her entire life being poo poo on for her Grandfather surrendering to the Turians, he only did so because he got utterly trashed by them and wanted to save civilians from a force who were blowing up city blocks to kill a handful of soldiers hiding within, it's not surprising she has a chip on her shoulder about Alien life, when they ruined her life before she was even born.

Once when you land at Atris' bunker in the restored content mod, and finally once when you have to storm the tomb of a Dark Jedi on Dxun. Well, the Bathroom he can be found in isn't one you'd be going past very often to be fair, but for first time players who are wandering around, yes, you will more likely stumble right into him, Dead Rising games do this all the time.

"I cannot relate to the main characters in Fallout 4 because they aren't like me, a Goon!, this is unacceptable!!" Anyway, the thing slightly dragging down Fallout 4 for me, at the moment, is that my fortified nation of Sanctuary doesn't come under attack very often, all I want is for my 20 gun and laser turrets to have something to shoot at, the band of 3 Radscorpions that dared invade my nation was a start, but I want more attacks!

Gestalt Intellect posted:The fact that From uses that design in their other games has nothing to do with whether or not a giant laser-shooting anime sword looks out-of-place in a gothic horror van helsing-esque setting. It's a 100% subjective complaint with the aesthetics and drawing weird connections to other stuff the developer has made doesn't change how I'm going to view the game as a singular product. It's my opinion on the aesthetics and it might not look out-of-place at all to you. But to me, it was random and cheesy as gently caress and borderline fan servicey. A blue laser firing sword isn't that unusual in a game filled with Cosmic Horrors from another dimension.

Solar Eclipse events are starting to annoy me in Terraria, because my house isn't floating 50 meters in the sky, it's under constant attack by Reapers who fly through the walls during the event, the rest of the monsters just leap around outside, since they can't get in, but the Reapers can, and they will quickly kill any NPC's they come near.

Bethesda don't really have much reason to radically change how they do things as well, there's really nothing out there like Modern Fallout or Elder Scrolls to force competition or change, games like the Witcher 3 maybe, but those are so few and far between, it's just a blip on the radar.

So Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a good game but has a problem, a large problem, there's not enough ammo for Claire and Moira's bits, I get that it's a throwback to the older pre RE 4 games but, don't put in the fast modern enemies with the scarce ammo system from RE1, it just results in you having to fight mobs of enemies with 15 bullets between 4 guns, this isn't very fun! Don't even get me started on the Revenants in Barry's sections too, jesus christ they are the worst.

They only matter if you care about min maxing, and I'm not sure why anyone would because it's a singleplayer game and you can just level past everything no matter how unoptimal you are. Do Blast Arrows still break the game? I remember nuking Daimon with those back on Dark Arisen on PS3.

I can see what Capcom were trying to do in Resident Evil 0 by letting you drop items everywhere which, in theory would cut down on backtracking to save rooms for the item boxes constantly like in 1 and 2, but in practice, you are just going to dump everything in the largest room available so you'll be running back to there constantly, which is more inconvenient depending on where you are in relation to said drop zone. What I am trying to say is, item boxes were better than this system.

Ramos posted:Eh, that's a hump everyone has to get over. Once you get past that, the next thing is you realize that Chronostasis costs 1EP and there are a lot of enemies around, many quite easy to kill, that give 2EP. After that you basically have infinite time in a variety of areas with some minor route optimization. It's very easy to have all the major plot questlines finished by day 3 if you abuse Chronostasis, I spent days 9 through 13 with nothing to do as I'd done every quest by that stage.

I really think Dead Island should have just all been about the Beach Resort as that's the best part of the game, Morsby after that is alright but the loving Jungle area is just the worst, it takes forever to reach quest objectives and has the single worst escort quest in the franchise there.
