Triarii posted:That's a problem? I like getting to know players by the characters/roles they play, whether it's my friends I'm playing with or serious matches I'm watching. It's kind of a problem when some players insist on sticking to one character/role regardless of how appropriate it is to the map, the objective and the composition of the rest of their team. Like, I like playing Tracer, but if there's already a Tracer on my team or a Tracer just won't gel with the plan the rest of the team are attempting, or we don't have a healer or something, then I don't play as Tracer. In Overwatch it's almost always people picking sniper classes when they're bad at it or one isn't needed.

muscles like this? posted:I've been playing the rerelease of RE4 and its kind of annoying how the game has the guy who will sell you anything, except ammo. Obviously it wouldn't be the ideal way to do it but it would be nice for those times when you're completely out or want specific ammo. When you upgrade your ammo capacity he gives you a full magazine, but yeah it's an annoyance.

Olaf The Stout posted:Some parts of 3 were good. Vaz the villain was pretty great and unsettling. A lot of the story is definitely not presented well, but Jason Brody has an actual arc. It didn't work so much in cutscenes, but in play as a FPS, your character is extremely physical and tangible within the world which is grounding. From there, watching him go from a kid way over is head to a bloodthirsty god of war as depicted by the increase in your power from unlockables attacks and arms and armaments, and especially through his increasingly unhinged voice acting through game. The one where Vaz kicks you down a well is a pretty good one. I was just bad at the game so I had to watch it about four times before I successfully cleared that part.

Action Tortoise posted:No Kills wouldn't have been so bad if the game didn't bottleneck some levels with combat. There's one in a parking garage and one in the server room at the end. I think they wanted to up the stakes to show how dangerous the cops have become now that you're Public Enemy no. 1 but if I have to get past a bunch of armed dudes don't make it so I HAVE to beat them up to get past the door since I have to stay in place to turn the valve door open to progress. My favourite thing about Mirror's Edge is how they took away the guns in Catalyst but I killed WAY more people by accidentally knocking them off rooftops than I ever did with guns in the first game.

RareAcumen posted:This is just a blanket complaint but is there some kind of blood pact on video games that says your character has to have an alcohol tolerance of a blue jay? Seems like every game besides LISA that lets you drink makes your vision sway around like you've shakycam going after one drink. And if you go for more than one then you're totally hosed and everything's just a blurred after-imaged mess that you can't keep track of poo poo with. I guess the boring answer is that alcohol in a lot of games functions as some sort of health boost or buff and comes with the wobbly screen consequence to give you some sort of risk/reward to evaluate. The only place I've really found alcohol to be fun in a game is in GTA, and only then because it fucks with your controls as well turning driving a car into a guaranteed series of increasingly worse crashes.

Triarii posted:A bunch of games seem to make this mistake. You have normal vision mode and "can actually see poo poo" mode, and the latter comes with some "drawback" that mostly just annoys you, like making the game look ugly and desaturated or playing annoying sound effects while it's on. Mechwarrior Online did this. You have three vision modes, normal, thermal and light amplification. The original thermal vision mode was pretty just the default Crysis thermal mode, and was better than either normal or light amplification in the vast majority of situations. So they changed it from a colourscale view to a monochrome one and cut the effective range down to a fraction of what it was and now it barely has any use at all. Also I guess the Batman Arkham games are the ur-example of this. most of the time you might as well be in detective vision mode as it's way more useful, but it does make the game look worse.

Hel posted:Assassin's Creed did it first and had some limitations that made it impossible to use it constantly. You could only use the original Eagle Vision when standing still and at full health(it might have been first person as well, so no peeking around corners), so it was only really useful when planning your approach and not as the de facto default vision mode. Yeah, I meant that Batman is the first one where you could pretty much use it all the time with no gameplay mechanic issues.

Gitro posted:Wolfenstein: The New Order is an avant-garde ARG about trying to get a videogame called Wolfenstein: The New Order to actually loving work. Fun activities include updating your GPU drivers, finding out which menu options cause the game to crash, many hours of googling in vain hope of finding a solution and a fun console command minigame. Man, that game really doesn't like you. I'm assuming you've not got some weird setup because you've posted about loads of other games without mention of poo poo like this, so I'm guessing it's just some really specific combination of components and software that TNO hates.

Or like how Uncharted is meant to be a modern pulp adventure so the hero has to mow down small armies just to cross a forest. Yeah, Michael's tantrum is incredibly contrived. I mean, it's funny, but I'd more easily buy him going in there and shooting people than I do him demolishing the building.

Both Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Just Cause 3, to name a few, do this and it sucks to hear the same poo poo joke 10 times because I decided to not progress the story for a few sessions. Until Dawn does a two minute long "Previously on..." segment whenever you load up your game in progress. Which is fine if it's been a few days inbetween but really loving sucks otherwise.

Yeah, Until Dawn pretty much has episodes as well, but it doesn't really announce the end of them directly, you just get a scene with Peter Stormare and then the title screen flashes up and you get the "previously on". I don't have a problem with it existing, just gently caress, let me skip it if I've already seen it today.
