Jastiger posted:Ehhh. I think it had a lot to do with the story. No longer are we a rookie team doing the bidding of a spectre. Shepard DIED and everyone didn't know what to do, the Collectors are destabilizing the galaxy, and the council is in flux. I think it does a good job of driving home the feeling that things are not well, and even though Shepard is on the case, it isn't getting better any time soon. the mass effect franchise was basically dead in the water the second they had shepard die and come back to life RBA Starblade posted:The worst change in ME2 is they took out the synth-riff heavy soundtrack and replaced it with more generic orchestral stuff. truest post ever made on this forum

Heavy Lobster posted:Say what you will about execution, DA2's story of "hero is terrible at being a hero and brings down the lives of every companion they meet while simultaneously directly causing no less than two major crises" is infinitely more interesting than DA:O's "there is a big dragon!!" I'm not a super big overhead-tactics WRPG person so DA:O didn't really engage me on that front either, and while DA2 wasn't a particularly great action/tactics hybrid, the story at least kept me awake long enough to enjoy it. man, if only they knew they were writing that story when they were actually making the game

Len posted:I liked Syndicate 2012 when I was still a part of the megacorporation running around delivering justice on the other lesser corps and innocent bystanders. Then they were like "nope. can't have you be a jackbooted thug forever" and you of course turn on your megacorp. You are why video games are poo poo and will stay poo poo forever

Cleretic posted:I dunno, I haven't played Syndicate 2012, but I know I'm getting loving tired of video games throwing a betrayal into the second half or third act. For a while it felt like that was literally the only way video games knew how to change things up or raise the stakes. It was so bad that I specifically remember liking that Deus Ex Human Revolution didn't do that, despite being right in the middle of the trend and having ample opportunity to do so. Eurocorp doesn't betray you, you betray Eurocorp. Because they're an awful, reprehensible corporation.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I guess I just don't understand why you're freaking out so hard at the idea that someone might enjoy playing the bad guy in a video game. Do you go ballistic when people play Grand Theft Auto, too? There is a sharp moral difference between playing a common criminal and playing what is essentially the futuristic version of the paramilitary groups paid by Coca Cola to massacre South American workers seeking unionization.

it's a very silly part of the book but I find that if someone gets mad about it, they're probably taking their zombie media far too seriously to begin with. this is the same book that has the turning point of the US Army's Last Stand against the zombies that they start blasting Iron Maiden's The Trooper over the loudspeakers.

Lotish posted:I remember getting the Persona 4 fighting game and being gob smacked by how long it takes to get to the fighting when you start story mode. I know it's 'story mode" but story mode in most arcade games is done in one or two screens between fights, not fifteen minutes of voiced cutscenes. Even hitting the handy fast forward button you might have to sit there for a full minute for the fighting to start. the Persona 4 Arena story mode is actually meant to be a full-on story, the fights are almost entirely ancillary and last for a single round with the difficulty turned way down. If you actually wanna fight you play Arcade mode.

muscles like this? posted:That just reminds me of a stupid thing from Borderlands 2. Namely how early in the game they give you a mission where you get to try out an energy weapon and then you don't see one for who knows how long. I sure don't because I never saw one the rest of the time I played the game, now I didn't finish it but I got pretty drat far. strange because i was tripping over the drat things, which was unfortunate because I didn't find them terribly useful

Kalos posted:This is actually an issue that Bioware has had in almost every single one of their games: If you don't make your character a Rogue (or the setting equivalent) then you're forced to carry around whatever one they give you. In Mass Effect 1 locks were determined by your Decryption or Electronics skill so you need someone with either/both of those skills at high level to be able to unlock them

YeahTubaMike posted:In Pokemon (in general), you still can't just swap Pokemon between your party and a box. Depositing and withdrawing are two separate PC functions, so you have to deposit one of your party Pokemon, back out of the depositing screen, go forward into the withdrawing screen, then withdraw the Pokemon you want. This game franchise is 19 years old, and as far as I can tell, this is the only way it has not improved. below Deposit and Withdraw, there's the Move Pokemon command, that is both functions at once and is essentially how the box should have worked to begin with. Why is it the third option? no fuckin clue

Kimmalah posted:They already did the "skirt made entirely of belts" so I'd imagine this can't be far behind. The best part is cosplayers trying to recreate it and finding out that wearing so many belts is really loving heavy. Her skirt was made entirely of belts because Nomura wanted to test the modelers to see if they could get the exact arrangement and layout of the belts exactly right each time. In response, the modelers took every opportunity they could to not show her from the waist down during pre-rendered CGI cutscenes. because the healthiest working relationship is one built out of pissing contests and spite

Spek posted:I've heard this story many times but it really doesn't make sense. You don't build a new model for every scene so getting the belts right is still only something you do once, twice if you count the gameplay and cutscene models but the gameplay one is probably based on the cutscene one. you do when it's pre-rendered CGI

It really sucks because I want to enjoy this game, I really want to get my $50 worth of crpg goodness out of it but it just won't let me. When it does run it lags like crazy and then just freezes and crashes every 5-10 minutes at most. Apparently it's trying to pull something like 2-3gigs of ram just to move across the map. get a computer not made in 2002 Austrian mook posted:"Metal gear rising this ain't" im hopping mad about all these video game men!!!!!!!!

I like Rising a lot im just not a child who doesn't realize that the base combat gets extremely monotonous considering there's no weapon switching or many enemy types. If you weren't a blithering moron you'd have been able to figure that out for yourself. Comparing Dark Souls combat to Rising combat is pretty hilariously stupid, and genuinely the dumbest thing I've read on this hack site in months. look at these clowns. they don't even know real video games. what a bunch of clowny clowns.

SiKboy posted:I'm faintly suprised to find thats even possible to be honest. Its probably because in fallout type games I'm an inveterate packrat with sidequest OCD, but I always thought it was something letting down NV slightly; They put so much effort into giving you options to get into the city of NV (cash, robotics check, get a passport from the kings, take the monorail from the NCR camp and possibly one other I'm forgetting) but 99% of players will never see any of them because the cash amount is set so low you can just pay it and move on. Worst case you sell some of the 2 tonnes of vendor trash you have been accumulating then pay it. I've played that game through at least 3 times and the only times I've not paid it was because I decided I wanted to see some of that other material rather than because I couldnt pay it. you can also just get a forged pass from Mick & Ralph's

There's an invisible wall on that route that tries to force you either south into Primm Pass or north into...I don't remember what poo poo you had to deal with if you tried to go north around it, but I'm guessing it was cazadores or deathclaws. You can get literally to the peak of the ridge...and then the game won't let you go down the other side. is this that sequence breaking poo poo i keep hearing so much about, i never understood that
