Esroc posted:Also, the Breakdown DLC is kind of pointless. All it does is turn off the story, but you still go through the same motions that you do when playing story mode. So really it's just a $7 toggle to turn off exposition. It's pretty good if you ignore the story mode because the story mode is garbage.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:This isn't the games fault, but I really like to play Rogue Legacy and Spelunky on PS4. The only problem? I'm terrible at them. The level design and the platforming aspects are perfect but i'm just not very good. It took me about 2 months of playing Spelunky to even get to the forest part or wherever and I can never get in more than a few rooms on Rogue Legacy. I just hate that the games are fun to play and everything but im just terrible at them. I don't think the platforming in rogue legacy is all that good but maybe that's just me.

This might be a big spoiler for some people so I'm gonna hide it behind some black bars. As someone who has a sibling with autism and has been around people on every part of the autism spectrum, To The Moon's depiction of Aspergers was really goddamn awful. To The Moon seemed like a good concept to be absolutely ruined by awful writing across the board.

CJacobs posted:I don't know why you're debating with me about it, I was agreeing with you by saying stasis is a good middle ground. The necromorphs move a LOT faster in 3 though as part of its final transition from horror to action so the autoaim in that one is a bit necessary. But then again, 3 isn't a very good game compared to the others! I got around to playing 3 recently and your avatar finally makes sense. Lunchmeat Larry posted:I always love stories about parents playing video games. My dad got really into Mario 64 with me (my first game - didn't have any consoles or w/e until I was 6) and I remember him getting really into it. Like, we both took it in turns trying to beat the final boss and failing, until one morning I got up before school and wandered downstairs to find him sitting in the study with a huge mug of coffee feverishly attacking Bowser and going "I got the bastard, son, I finally got him". It was great! And then he had a heart attack a few days later but he beat Bowser so whatever. Me and my dad were like this except with Ocarina of Time. Also my dad didn't have a heart attack after we beat it.

MindlessHavok posted:RDR did the best with this. When normally walking/riding a horse, you're slower and faster than them, but you can press a button that will force you to keep pace with them. I loved that. The rear end Creed games did this. Or at least Revelations is the last one I remember doing it.

Len posted:I just remember people joking the game would still be super buggy and this time there wouldn't be anyone to blame except Obsidian. Because it seems like for every other buggy game the release there's cries of "but it isn't their fault!" The game came out yesterday. Please tell me of a game that has been absolutely 100% bug free on release. Kalos posted:There were cases like KotOR 2 where not only were they screwed by the publisher on release schedule, but actively prevented from putting the cut content into a patch or expansion after launch after launch, but I think a lot of that meme came from Dungeon Siege 3 with (like the first two non-Obsidian installments) was a game that, while technically playable, nobody loving cared about its existence. South Park was pretty dang solid too.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, it ain't. The controls feel sluggish and unresponsive, on KB+M or a controller.

Gurumin is a cute game but It seems to run into the Falcom tradition of having long-rear end unskippable cutscenes. caveat: I actually only own YS Origin and Gurumin but dang those cutscenes are just about the only thing I don't like about these games.

Nah wolfenstein is totally self aware. It's just taking a campy idea (nazis rule the world) and extrapolating on how horrifying that would actually be. It doesn't downplay the fact that they achieved that with giant robots and laser guns.

It was Cargo Commander, which is actually a charming sort of game. Nothing really changes about the gameplay after 10 minutes though.

Also I dont think there is any other singing in the game other than the dumb tavern bard. The musical bit in Dragon Age Origins was worse, but it was also hidden away in a entirely optional conversation with leliana.

Hunky Joe posted:Dragon Age: Inquisition Are you rolling with the default settings on companions? That's just gonna lead to frustration. You can prevent varic from using caltrops if you go into his skill settings. And you can force companions to come back to you with Disengage, in the tactical view. Dragon Age Inquisition has a lot of problems but once you know it's quirks it really isn't that bad. On topic, I'm really enjoying Valkyria Chronicles but the entire format of the story kind of annoys me. You hit a button to watch a cutscene, then get kicked back to the book, hit another button, watch a cutscene, hit another button, finally maybe have an engagement. I think I get why they made the decision(game design wise) to deliver the story this way, but it still feels very clunky.
