oneof3steves posted:That kind of thing always feels weird to me... it's like the people who love and support a band until they become popular and then because they are successful and on the radio and 15 year olds like them they suddenly stop liking them. It seems like it should be a matter of do you like it or not, rather than "Who else likes it?" Rising wasn't successful though, it's not like it got popular or anything. I'm just tired of reading people repeat the game's best moments and quote Armstrong or the games soundtrack to the point where I groan at the games best lines and jokes now. "The cake is a lie!!!!!!!!!!"

poptart_fairy posted:Replaying Hotline Miami and the semi-random AI and weapon drops irritates me. It's a game about reflexes and high speed, so when you can be killed in one shot and the same person can react in different ways and drop different stuff it can really throw off the game's otherwise fantastic rhythm. I actually like that, it means you can't just develop the same strategy each time. It's about your reflexes and quick thinking as opposed to route memory.

Captain Lavender posted:I really noticed this as it went on. At the beginning, I was too slow to out shoot anyone; but by the end, I could punch out a room of guys with no weapon if I had to. It really gives you that Psycho Killer feeling, those types of people don't walk in with a detailed plan, they just wing it! E: Honestly, since there's no penalty for dying just go ape poo poo and rush guys, I found it working for me a lot of the time.

It would be amazing if at the beginning of every nintendo game you could go into the options from the word start and click "I've played every Zelda/Mario/Pokemon since their inception, I'm good" button and the game just cuts out all the tutorials.

He has no plans to sell them, he just wants to hoard them so no one else can have them and so Nintendo can realize that these are bad characters even though he already gave them thousands upon thousands of dollars to have them. post the pics

Sleeveless posted:Hotline Miami was a game that trolled players by putting the "real" ending behind a bunch of tedious hidden collectibles only for the ending to be total bullshit that the game outright states doesn't matter and was just an excuse to kill people. I actually enjoyed the story in 2 because it seemed to continue in that vein, instead of giving big answers or building a plot around the crazy alternate universe/cult stuff it's a bunch of moody disjointed side stories with no real purpose other than to give you an excuse to kill more people. They put an option at the beginning of the game to turn off all instances of implicit sexual assault so I don't understand what the problem is? It's Hotline Miami, the whole point is that it's hyper-violent so I don't understand how an implicit rape is any worse than brutally gouging somebodies eyes out especially when there's a non-intrusive option for anyone who'd be seriously put off by such a thing.

Gestalt Intellect posted:Sexual violence has some important differences compared to physical violence. It's a complicated subject and this thread is not the place for it, but there are absolutely fair reasons why many people treat them differently. There are, and for anyone who is personally disturbed by that then you can simply turn it off at the beginning of the game.

Analyzing Hotline Miami is pointless, since the game is designed to be the antithesis of people who over-analyze video games.

Esroc posted:Finally decided top give Dark Souls 2 a try and I don't get the appeal. Everyone gushes over the "difficulty" of the series and how high stakes the game is, but the difficulty doesn't stem from brilliant game design or amazing balance. The difficulty is solely based on the fact that the game has the most horrendous control scheme and button response I've ever seen and making your character perform the simplest of actions is an exercise in futility. Lmao

Dark Souls 2 is a long way away from the first game, mainly because of the enemy design. Still better than most anything else on the market though.

"Metal gear rising this ain't" Except its got a way, way better combat system than rising. Hell, rising has the worst combat system out of all of Platinums recent games. Im tired of listening to idiots who dont know what theyre talking about on this goddamn forum.

Sardonik posted:Actually metal gear rising owns, it must be frustrating to be so consistently wrong about video games. Funny, i disagree with you so i have ti hate all games. 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.

Every single human readig that post understands im talking about dynamic switching in the middle of battle, you know like in DMC, Bayonetta, W101. Any other game in the same genre as rising. But please, by all means fulfill your fantasy of owning someone youre never going to meet on the internet. loving idiot.

Nuebot posted:So here's a mean spirited anecdote. Well after dark souls 2 came out I played the first one again and screwed around with cheat engine and gave my character the ability to petrify other players instantly, it's worth noting that most of the people I invaded already had infinite HP active. I got a lot of hate mail for it. I felt that "git gud" was the appropriate response. cheating is disgusting.
