The High Chaos ending isn't even a bad one and its actually more thematically appropriate to the game. The game doesn't punish you for anything, its just people getting hung up on "good" and "bad" endings. Though it is totally true that non-lethal was added kind of late so it does kind of clash. (Though I really do like that the non-lethal options are far worse than death. It really plays off the usual expectations of video game pacifism.) The Daud DLC fixed the problems with non-lethal though and hopefully 2 goes further with it.

Max Payne 2 had a pretty conclusive ending too so it really didn't need a sequel. I'm really not a fan of the first game, but 2 is worthy of the praise it gets.

AngryRobotsInc posted:There's really a whole bunch of mistakes in the original translation like that. The Lavos influencing evolution and technology aspect is North American only. I thiiiink it was left out of the DS version, but I haven't played that one in a while. It's never anything major, that would completely change the plot. Just a bunch of stuff that changes small aspects of the story.

A lot of the last half of Sleeping Dogs had to be cut for time so that's why it feels rushed. It's also why the dating missions seems like an afterthought, they had to get pruned too.

Yeah, RDR is a bleak game but it really does have love and care in what it does and it actually pulls across its themes well. It also really doesn't punch down in its satire like GTA tends to do all the time. Really Rockstar's main team just screams well off middle-aged white dudes that were hip once and are desperately trying to be that again and they act like petulant teenagers in their attempts.

The Missing Link isn't perfect (There's not much in the way of interesting objectives) but I liked it and as previously said I like what they did with the boss fight. Mainly that you can take his rear end down like any other enemy. So it was rather neat when I busted down the door and knocked this dude out in one punch and then realized that he was the boss. I played the non DC version though so it does seem like it would be a real hit to the pacing.

The weird thing is Fallout 3 ran practically perfect for me on PS3 and there was only a very few times it crashed in my 100+ hours. And I played the majority of it unpatched.

MGS: Peace Walker has by far the most boring and tedious boss fights in the series and the fact that I have to grind side-missions to get anything good is just killing my interest fast. I honestly don't get the praise, to me its by far the weakest in the mainline series and I though 4 was a genuinely good game when you got to play it.

It sounds like you let an orc sound the alarm in a stronghold. You need to make sure to kill them before they do that otherwise you get infinite waves of orcs. A flame icon will appear on the screen that will point you to the direction to the orc who is rushing to the alarm.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that found Transistor to be an utterly hollow and lifeless facsimile of Bastion, which is one of my favorite games. It really feels like they had no idea what made Bastion so great, its kind of baffling.

Sleeveless posted:Just a tip to To The Moon, if you want to tell a serious emotional story about life and death maybe don't frame it with two bumbling assholes who keep spouting Street Fighter and Dr. Who references every five minutes. It's like they watched Eternal Sunshine For The Spotless Mind and thought that Elijah Wood's creepy panty-sniffing nerdlinger should be the protagonist.

The original rear end Creed actually had that. If you did enough brutal kills, usually with hidden blade counters, the guards would panic and run away.

Josh Sawyer said that they couldn't do what they really wanted with the Legion so they had to make them pure evil due to lack of time. I'm fine with that though because it makes me and Boone going around the countryside killing every LARPer we see totally justified.

Gilgamesh doesn't have a complicated backstory, he worked for ExDeath in 5 and then was transported out of his universe when ExDeath created his void dimension so he's been wandering the Final Fantasy universes ever since.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I'm playing The Darkness 1 and, clunky as it is, I'm really enjoying it. The story and characters have managed to sucker me in unexpectedly well, and the powers are really fun to use. Between this and Escape from Butcher Bay, Starbreeze do/did an amazing job at taking questionable licenses and making really good games out of them with incredibly relatable characters and dialogue. Things dragging it down now that I accidentally care about some broody 90s B-comic characters, in 2015: You should check out the two new Wolfenstein games, New Order and Old Blood, a bunch of ex-Starbreeze guys made them and it really shows.

The Moon Monster posted:Re: The Witcher being lovely about women I'm kind of surprised no one mentioned the part where some late teens-early 20s woman throws herself on her geezer husband's funeral pyre. It would be one thing if the game then explored how hosed up that is but as far as I know (I didn't experience every bit of content in The Witcher 3 because I'm not a madman) they just sort of show it as cool and good and very much the woman's decision and then it's never mentioned again. It left a bad taste in my mouth throughout the rest of the game to the point that I never had any enthusiasm to try the DLC despite everyone raving about it.
