I've always assumed that Resident Evil took place in a world where architects were trying to one up each other in creating convoluted locking systems.

Heavy Lobster posted:There should be two separate categories for Dark Souls fans, one being fans and the others being apologists. Games that intentionally obscure things need to go whole hog (Legend of Zelda) or not at all or else it just interferes with the rest of the design being straightforward. You can miss the importance of the title if you talk to the npc who spawns in firelink after you ring both bells.

gamingCaffeinator posted:Replaying Saints Row IV, and holy poo poo is the escape from Zinyak's ship mission the most annoying thing. This almost broke me and hearing the song repeat over and over again made it lose its luster. GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Games with a bunch of unlockable poo poo like that should have a "party mode." Disable achievements/trophies/online leaderboards/etc., but unlock all the characters, levels, equipment, or whatever. Taking a disc-based Smash Brothers or Mario Kart game to have a blast with your buddies and then spending hours unlocking stuff so Emily can use her favorite character or Steve can race on his favorite track is loving lame. I wish Dynasty Warriors did this with Free Mode. It would encourage new players to commit to a faction if they could try out all the officers from the start with a buddy.

Action Tortoise posted:This almost broke me and hearing the song repeat over and over again made it lose its luster. I just realized that I was thinking of the wrong sequence. Whoops. Lotish posted:This is a good point, which is why stuff that has nothing to do with mechanics should be unlocked outright, like vanity costume pieces. If that stuff has mechanical applications, sure, hold on to it, but I want to look my best now dammit so if it makes no game play difference let me have it. I like unlocking cosmetic items. It depends on how games go about it. I still think Okami had a great idea with unlocks.

They've really gotta stop those waist-deep water levels. No one liked them in Valley of Defilement and no one liked them in Blighttown. New Super Mario Bros. U is really floaty. I've died to slippy controls more than actual enemies. StandardVC10 posted:This derail is the worst thing. I don't care anymore. I remember having a fight where I made myself immune to my opponents' elemental affinity. They proceeded to cast Almighty spells until my party wiped. They never knew Almighty spells and would never cast them if I weren't immune to their element. It was just a way to make sure I didn't exploit the game but in a really bullshit way.

El Matador The level design can be really confusing sometimes. I cleared a whole arena full of enemies and spent the next 20 minutes looking for the path ahead. Turns out I had to double back to another room that's in the periphery of the arena. Another area I had to climb some scaffolding and shootdodge over to the roof of another building but there's no indication that it's the path forward.

DStecks posted:Drive was marketed heavily as an action film, despite not being one at all. Does that make it bad? Coming back to Inglourious Basterds, you could argue that the whole point of the film is that you're expecting it to be a rip-roaring action flick and it isn't. Is Inglourious Basterds bad for not being an action movie? D Agree to disagree and let it go. Bitch about games and not how to criticize. Please.

I had the hardest time figuring out what to do with the 15th colossus and the one in the lake you can steer by hitting the horns on its head. They're more environmental puzzles while most of the other colossi were pretty direct in how you beat them.

Captain Lavender posted:Stealth scenarios are already mostly annoying to me, because if you're not in the right groove, they're just a lot of waiting. And then these stealth boss fights come along, and the patrolling goons spawn infinitely. It's the worst thing. Yep. Clear a whole room so you can focus solely on the bad guy. Then a monster closet spawns more thugs.

My Lovely Horse posted:Sleeping Dogs I didn't really care for Big Smile Lee. They build him up as the guy behind all the backstabbing and underhanded poo poo going on but I think you only really talk to the guy in two scenes and then you fight him in the teahouse area. Also it's cool to do slow motion shootouts in the game but I didn't like how you had to trigger them with stunts instead of having a dedicated button for it. It works when you vault over cover but it was a crapshoot if it activated when you're shooting from your car.

beato posted:I think that was a problem with all the characters, you rarely spent enough time with each one to develop any bond with them yet the game makes out that they are either your best friend in the world or public enemy number 1 even though you've only met them in 1 or 2 missions. I felt that there could've been a lot more side missions away from the main story missions to help build up your relationship with them. It would've helped gain Triad rep too. I think it depends. I like the characters you meet early on. I thought Jackie and Roland were annoying cliches initially, but the writing was good enough to get me on their side when it mattered. Same thing with Winston and Conroy. Big Smile Lee gets talked up but when you meet him he just feels like a regular thug instead of someone really threatening.

bunnyofdoom posted:I think you confused Conroy with Dog Eyes. Yeah but Phobo's got it right with the writing. Dog Eyes felt like a proper antagonist and so does Pendrew. The other thing that felt off from Sleeping Dog's tone was the dating side stuff. They're so vestigial and once you get the in-game benefit from dating a girl they're gone from the story. Emma Stone even voices the first girl you date, that seems like such a waste to cast someone notable for a bit part.

I played this sourcemod about navigating in a damaged spaceship. It had solid mechanics and simple enough puzzles but one of the obstacles required me to stack two oil drums so that I could boost up onto the ceiling. The problem is that Havok physics made this almost impossible to get right since the drums bounce off your contact. If only the two drums changed to a solid object that was fixed onto the floor.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I wouldn't even mind this as long as they made it clear which missions were "chase this guy until you reach the point where you can kill him" and which were just "chase and kill this guy." Like if the objective popup would say "Follow So-and-so" if they're scripted invincible until you hit the part where you can kill them vs. "Kill So-and-so" if they're not invincible and you just have to kill them, that'd be great. It's the part where you waste a ton of ammo because you can't tell if the guy's invincible or if you're just missing the driver that pisses me off. This is one of the worst things in V. Two out of three chases were follow missions until the target crashed into something and fifteen minutes into the third one I realized that the game wanted me to actually kill the guy.

The bathhouse level in Chaos Theory. The early sections are great and then the action ramps up in a game with really lovely shooting mechanics. Also I never tried it before until this level but why bother offering an assault loadout if you're gonna grade against that playstyle?

Metro: Last Light needs to stop these scripted encounters where I always end up caught off guard. I've been good at sneaking around everywhere, I'd like to kill my intended targets in peace and not have my controls wrenched away to see this dickhole of an npc run away like they're Carmen Sandiego every goddamn time.

Play a few missions and you kinda get an idea what kind of side objectives you might get. If the area of operation occupies three bases and some outposts that look out of the way of the intended path there might be some stuff to do there.

Baited her shot and fired back. I never had to move but I still had to account for bullet drop so thar was kinda cool.
