The worst one was the one in Nier: Automata, that one was a massive pain in the rear end.

I don't remember what this was unless it's the part where 2B is all hosed up limping through the world and can't fight and you can fall down a slope and be unable to get where you need to go (which is what happened to me and I had to reload). But forced impairment/injury sequences like that haven't been novel since CoD4 and I'll take the dissonance of Sleeping Dogs where you're tortured but can still fight normally over that.

Minor gripe, but it's been 12 years since super meat boy came out, and it's stupid that games like Neon White don't have a one button restart. If I'm going to iterate on the best time and the restart after the smallest mistake, restart shouldn't take me back out to the 'play this level?' menu. Just make it a single button push!

Photo modes in games are neat, and I know a lot of people enjoy them.

We've had photo modes for long enough that there should really be some standard elements, and it is frustrating when games half-rear end it (looking at you, Ghostwire Tokyo).

At bare minimum photo mode should include:

  • Selectable depth of field and focal point
  • Free camera (not orbit)
  • Adjustable focal length
  • Adjustable exposure
  • Ability to hide players/npcs
  • Ability to select emotes/actions/poses during photo mode

To be a decent mode it should also include:

  • Curves/levels adjustment, even simplified
  • Time of day/weather adjustment
  • User placeable lights (only FFXIV has done this as far as I know and it is an amazing tool).

If you want players to create free advertising for your game, at least give them a decent toolset.

Also don't be one of those developers who makes the photo mode camera move at about 1/10 the speed of the in-game camera.

Good point and one that I forgot--provide variable movement speeds through a speed selector or modifier keys (ctrl/shift/space). Hate trying to nail a one-frame input of a movement key to get the framing to come together right.

I'll preface this by saying that I'll play anything that Ryu Ga Gotoku puts out, and overall I'm enjoying my time with Judgement. And I understand that a lot of the Yakuza games are about the city as a character, taking up time to add flavor without much game benefit. I do like stuff like hanging out in the smoking areas, wandering around to Tak's haunts to find out who has a new case for me, or checking out my office to see what my landlady has cooked me today--but this isn't the 'favorite things' thread, so...

Hidden object minigames in first person. They aren't interesting, the first person view is a distracting choice, and because I don't play with headphones finding a cat based on an intermittent meow can be an exercise in frustration. The detective parts in general feel pretty boring, all paths lead to the correct answer.

Pick the right key to open the door--just why? Maybe if this was ever used during a chase sequence as a way to avoid an additional encounter, but EVERY time I want to go to the casino or my office? It's not difficult, just a time waster. Maybe instead of highlighting the correct key, the skill upgrade should just have Tak pick the correct key for you and skip the minigame if you've opened the lock before.

The enemy encounter rate feels ridiculously high, same goes for the gang leader appearances. I'm 23 hours in, currently on chapter 7, and while I enjoy the combat system I am completely done with random street fights. Normally there is an item or something you can find to reduce encounter rate, but I haven't had any luck in finding such a thing in Judgement.

Tailing and chase minigames--occasionally refreshing, but be prepared to do these a LOT if you're doing all the side stories. Most seem to involve at least one, if not both. The tailing minigame in particular has 6 different upgrades you can buy to make it easier, but you are still slowly following someone through the city and pausing to check your phone while they spend 30 seconds peering around for pursuers.

Not leaving Kamurocho. I didn't realize how cramped and rote the city begins to feel when you spend every chapter there, and I appreciate the Yakuza games a lot more now for usually taking place in at least two different locations.

A good chunk of this is probably because I am mainlining the side cases as soon as they open up--I'm sure someone taking a more leisurely stroll through the main story may not have issues with a lot of these. I'm looking forward to Lost Judgement, I think people seem to really like it? Although I heard they got rid of mortal wounds, a mechanic that I hated at first but grew on me as I realized it was just conditioning my fighting style.

Morpheus posted:

The only way a 'pick the key from a bunch of keys' is fun is if it's a bunch of physically modelled keys that you cycle through on a keyring and each key looks detailed and distinct from the others.

They are indeed distinct keys on a key ring tied to your controller buttons. You can memorize the shape OR there's an upgrade that highlights the correct one.

It's still a time waster.

Inspector Gesicht posted:

Lost Judgment vastly improves on the original by largely demoting the detective stuff, toning down the encounter rate, scaling up the rewards, fleshing out the side-content, and letting you beat up school kids.

I am so glad to hear this, and glad that my complaints are common since I have the "wrong" ranking of Yakuza games.

SMT 5 - there is no way, short of searching up a guide, to determine appropriate content for my level when it's all mixed in to the open world. I guess maybe I'm supposed to trial and error and flee if it seems too difficult?

I really hate that I attempted the first fiend fight way too late. Matador was a thrilling challenge in 3, in 5 I stomped him in 2 turns (oops). I never wondered if I was doing something too early or too late in 3, but 20 years later I feel like I'm missing the intended difficulty curve.

Yeah, I had kind of hoped the singleplayer campaign would mean a move away from needlessly stringent "play the game perfectly" "tutorials" but they just rolled them in as side content.

You don't have to play perfectly, you just have to not take damage which you can do by exploiting how stupid the AI is. I beat these by spamming hadouken, and you can overlevel to the point where your damage output is much higher than the HP of the trainer by just....waiting to do those side missions if cheesing the AI is too tricky.

The perfect parry missions are far harder for me, I still can't really read the timing on them. I'd also point to the sharp difficulty spike near the endgame as the real problem with World Tour mode.

I'm entirely willing to chalk this up to me not playing crpgs, but I had a real dummy moment in BG3.

Early in the game I shot a rock suspended on a rope down to break open a cracked slab and access a crypt. Super cool, the rock was highlighted as a target and it was a fun alternate way in.

A little later I come across a potential party member suspended in a cage. There is a bow on the ground, but the cage is right at the top of the screen, seemingly pretty high, and the cage itself doesn't highlight--the character does. Having accidentally killed a party member before, I didn't want to kill her or ruin reputation and lock myself out of something so instead I start looking around for a way to get up higher.

Quest completed, you have abandoned X.

I go back, no sign of her. Gone. And of course no autosave...

Googling it, I WAS supposed to shoot her down and I guess I just totally misread the situation but now I'm nervous what else I might accidentally gently caress up and miss by being a total novice to these types of games. :ohdear:
