Nobody can go through you to reach the alarm and they don't bother firing at you. You can also jump up to a platform and trickjump (maybe strafe-jump) up a slope to the end of the level skipping every single stealth section.

Heavy Lobster posted:The whole "un-fun achivement" thing isn't meant for players, it's meant for devs. Widespread achievements in games is an incredibly easy and elegant way for developers to track what content in their games is getting done by what percentage of the buyer population and allows them to adjust future releases accordingly. But doesnt that basically show that 99% of gamers are idiots and wont even get past the tutorial section, which in turn causes devs to front-load all their content instead of making an interesting game all the way through to the end? It just seems to me that the best games aren't necessarily made with the lowest common denominator in mind. Devs need to put more trust in the gamers, trust that we will find your drat content!

Even dark souls, the pinnacle of gaming, had a girl with huge tits. As a gamer and a human, I'm dissapointed in the state of games today. [Edit] STALKER fixed this entire problem in the best possible way imho: no girls allowed, only muscular russian men.

loving GTA V. It has alot of problems, lack of a powertrip, plot with the theme of "crime DOESN'T pay" stuck way up in the rear end, too much bickering that only sets the tone like 45 hours into the game when the tone is already set. Its car garage systems is still terrible for some reason. Way too few heist missions. But these things are all fine. What I did. Not. Want. To. Pay. For. Was the pathetic loving edgyyy plot. I did not want to go through the torture scene, I didn't think it was hilarious when trevor said he murdered Rons friends, I hated it when trevor murdere the husband and wife after making their house his base of operations. Dan houser obviously thinks he is way smarter than every consumer out there, what with all the scenes where the main characters make fun of fat white gamer stand-ins. I started out being mad. Now I feel ashamed. I actually haven't felt shame about gaming up until now. I spent money on this. It just is so incredibly mean-spirited and juvenile and awkward and I hate it. When did Rockstar Games start resenting the consumers so much?

Skyrim is like a klepto-simulator. Its all about sucking up endless amounts of lesser soul gems and coins (32) and metal bars and everywhere you go you clean the place. Go through every bookcase. An infinite amount of everything, the game is like a cycle. Its like enter dungeon>murder>suck everything up like a savage vacuum cleaner>get out again and again with small stops where you craft/stash/sell all poo poo. The wheel keeps spinning. Oh this cave belongs so Oolag malbadur the kinkshaming bandit? I didnt notice was too busy hoovering all the poo poo up. Where in the wheel are you? Oh my level-wheel got to cycle 5 so now i can use my shield to slow time, making fights even more trivial and even more slowed down and in the end i realize that time has no meaning in skyrim. Quests are just shallow set dresses for getting to new places where you can steal more useless stuff. Oh i got a Badass Spiky Mace OH MY GOD SOMETHING ACTUALLY MADE BY A PERSON! A living breathibg programmer decided what stats this mace have!!!!!!!! Its like catching a glimpse of humanity in the ever spinning wheel of randomized kleptomania. My random sword of _tier[number] with level specific damage and modifiers is miles ahead of any human made loot, but since youre so numbed by the wheel of loot you still get excited over havig something like that at all. The wheel continues. Soon all human made content will be swept up by the protagonist and all that remains is the wheel, with you, the shiva of vacuuming in the middle. Running and jumping and wondering why the gently caress am i loving playong this fuckig game??? The story is poo poo and thats when you stop playing.

RyokoTK posted:It's really nice that Hotline Miami 2 doesn't fix a single loving problem that the first game had. Since the gameplay is more about gunfights, rushing to a big pile of guns and grabbing the only empty shotgun in the mix is an intensely frustrating and stupid way to die. The complete inconsistency of which enemies aggro when you fire a gun (this time he heard me, but that time he didn't), or even where they are when you start a level, is nonsense too; when a single floor can have 20 enemies with guns, and you have to play perfectly or die immediately, enemy behavior has to be consistent and it's not at all. Also the level design is such balls. No, you are an idiot. Hotline miame 1 & 2 is not in any way about route optimization and muscle memory. The enemies walk random paths for a reason: you have to be quick and think on your feet. Its genius and the fact that you are a grumpy sperg pining for some good old speedrun-gameplay wont change that. gently caress you

Unreal engine 3. Its a floaty plastic cum-covered garbage mess. Dishonored is the only game i can think of with fun gameplay. Human revolution was fine too i guess??? I just cant stand it.

Mildly Amusing posted:I've given up on caring about stories in video games in general. Most of them just aren't worth the price of admission, even the "good ones", and now all I care for is gameplay. But, of course, this only started happening to me once every game company decided they have to put more emphasis on story instead. I just want to play games that require some degree of skill, and not some lame-rear end drama in a zombie apocalypse, or a point-n-click adventure game. This. So much. And honestly system shock 2 did it in the best and least intrusive way possible. AUDIO LOGS It does not interrupt gameplay! Endless amount of exposition suddenly gets enjoyable when i can play at the same time. Just please modern fps games, please give me an actual space to navigate around in! Remember when the level designers of old worked with brushes and textures? Instead of imported models and flow charts? gently caress it does anyone care about level desigm anymore? The id team's level designers actually studied lots of Architechture. Please just plink me down outside a loving building and let me work my way in at my own pace. Put some guards or whatever just no more setpieces/corridors. And open world games are universally generic in their randomness and 'emergent gameplay' is dead.

I love it when women bleed so i can feel something. I cant feel anything without a vulnerable woman bleeding. Its just amazing to me how you can take lara croft, a big boobed babe, and somehow gently caress up her strengths as a female protagonist even more. Atleast she was strong and didnt give no fucks in the other games, scabtily clad but w/e. Now she is vulnerable and designed to make menchildren want to protect her which is just hilarious. At no point in the development anyone said: "wait, this is stupid and makes us seem like perverts from the 1950s". It's embarassing really. And actually stands out in a sea of embarassing video games.

Dark souls 2 is pretty bland. Its worse in most ways apart from bland quality of life improvements. Its stale and the depopulation mechanic is one of many gameplay elements that is used by the level designers to be lazy about encounters and levels (this is really the biggest crime and most sorrowful fail). The weapons dont have that oomph either. However: get agl up to 25 and the dodging is pretty dang good. Weaving left - right, it works well with the armoured dudes. And build variety too! Lots more spells, its fun. There are many bosses and lots of big hunking armoured dudes to dodge and weave around. Its enjoyable in that regard.

Got me a predator face from the belltower invader that I wear with my belltower diapers. The level design and overall world design is terrible. Such a let down from ds1. I think the most baffling decision is huntsmans copse. Shortcut from bonfire to bonfire, then no ladder down to bonfire from end of level (just before the hanging bridge).

The ending to ss2 is godawful but hilarious so its fine anyway, the main gameplay is 10/10

death .cab for qt posted:Yeah there are no online-only items in DS1 anymore. Every covenant with an online component can be grinded for instead. Co-op and invasions. They are actually arguably faster to do that way than online play. Darkmoon blade is better than sunlight blade when you're rankef up to +3 (that means grinding for 80 souvernirs of reprisal). These are the exact numbers. Sunlight blade: Magadjust * 1.8 Darkmoon Blade (per covenant level): +0: magadj * 1.8 +1: magadj * 1.9 +2: magadj * 2.0 +3: magadj * 2.1 Darkmoon blade at max level is the strongest weapon buff in the game, but it is for Faith, which means the mag adjust is dependent on talismans while intelligence uses catalysts, I'm not sure what the best talisman is, but i think a crystal magic weapon is (wit only magadj * 1.4) comes pretty close to darkmoon blade because of the tin crystallisation catalysts absurd magadjust. The best talisman at 99 faith is darkmoon talisman with 240 magadjust, theoretically giving a buff that puts 240 * 2.1 = 480 + 24 = 504 damage at most. The best catalyst, tin crystal catalyst ha 315 magadjust with 99 intelligence which gives a theoretical max of 315 * 1.4 = 315 + 126 = 441 damage. So basically; start grinding them souvernirs in painted world! Also you might think that great lightning spear is another bad locked-behind-online-play miracle, but sunlight spear is much better anyways and you get it from murdering gwyn. So that leaves dragon bro covenant which is honestly pretty useless and only good for gimmick builds. Curdy Lemonstan has a new favorite as of 08:36 on Aug 13, 2015 |

death .cab for qt posted:It also deals Magic damage, which many enemies resist more than lightning, meaning it ends up balancing out about even overall with Sunlight Blade, which is a set magadj*1.8 Lightning spell Oh word! I didnt think that darkmoon blade used magic, since it's faith based. Sunlight blade is probably the better option then (except for ornstein, and uhm like gwyn?). But darkmoon talisman is still the best talisman, so for ~*~<*{lore friendly}*>~*~ reasons all proper aspergers should use darkmoon blade with darkmoon talismans.

death .cab for qt posted:This only applies if your FTH is around 40-50 though, because much like Logan's Catalyst, the overall scaling doesn't kick in for Darkmoon Talisman until a crazy high FTH. Yeah thats true, 50 faith is specially a ng+ goal if you want the sunlight spear. It's a shame str/faith builds aren't more viable, that woghammer (Grant, right) you get from the paladin is great. It really is a shame that the split damage types are as useless as they are, some really cool weapons for faith are totally pointless because of it. (Luckily demons souls is great for str/faith builds)

gohuskies posted:Yeah Jedi Knight 2 has good parts but I think most folks would be well advised to skip right to Jedi Academy. JA has one of the worst fan fic-style Mary Sue stories in entire Star Wars EU, which is a very bold statement that I think is fair in this case, but the gameplay is good and there is lots of fun lightsabering of bad dudes. I really don't agree. Jedi Academy is a lot more boring generally. Jedi outcasts laser fights actually feel deadly and impactful. I JA you just meet some rear end in a top hat jedi in the very first map. That sucks. Jedi Outcast, for all it's faults, has a great sense of ebb and flow in the level design, and you get extremely powerful later on, which wouldnt be as awesome if you didnt have to work for it.
