Namarrgon posted:No trust me I'm plenty good at shooters and there was one mission where I actually could aim, but for most of the game the cursor doesn't respond to the mouse, or goes in the other direction or decides it doesn't feel like shooting today. It doesn't apply to everyone, but it is common enough that it is a known problem. It's also not going to get patched. Basically means I'm poo poo out of luck. Gonna join GrandpaPants and say I had zero control issues for the game. It might just be you.

Action Tortoise posted:Yeah but Phobo's got it right with the writing. Dog Eyes felt like a proper antagonist and so does Pendrew. On the other hand, the dating poo poo from games like GTA is really awful and it was nice to see that in Sleeping Dogs it was basically one mission for each girl. Also, Wei is kind of a psychopath that probably wouldn't make for a healthy long term relationship.

Thoughtless posted:Terraria has some bizarre design choices. After you beat the boss in hell, you go into hardmode. This creates two "invasive" biomes, which spread aggressively and will destroy all the natural ones, depriving you of a lot of resources you need. Killing hard mode bosses significantly slows down the spread of corruption/crimson/hallow.

I think Deus Ex and stuff like X-men want the opposing viewpoint to see augments/mutants/etc. as no longer human, but completely fail to convey what it means to be human. Would you accept robotic arms if it meant you could never feel someone else's skin forever? That every time you touched a loved one they would just feel cold metal?

HMS Boromir posted:Dark Souls isn't unpausable to make it harder, it's unpausable because it's a multiplayer game and it's easier to leave it at that than to go in and code it so you can pause as long as nobody's in your world or currently trying to get into your world. It's laziness rather than malice, really. It's not even really that lazy. How many multiplayer games allow you to pause? If not being able to pause prevents you from playing Dark Souls you are doing yourself a disservice.

The rest of the time I spent exploring every nook and cranny expecting some unique tidbit to pop up. No you were right, Metro games should be explored. It's just kinda weird how you didn't have filters. I must have had over an hour worth of filters by the end, and I explored quite a bit. You were taking the gas mask off underground, right?

Improbable Lobster posted:There's a ton of stuff in Sleeping Dogs that make it obvious that they had to scale back late in development. All the relationships, the last third of the story, the radio being glitchy as hell, most of the side missions, floating poo poo in side areas, the list goes on. It's a good thing the game is fun and interesting enough to make up for it but I really wish that they had been able to spend more time polishing the game before release. If the relationships in Sleeping Dogs were broken then all games should break their relationship poo poo. Doing one date type quest to get a decent perk is way better than doing tons of lovely date quests for a questionable perk.

Judge Tesla posted:To be fair, if every boss in Diablo 3 had a loot table like in WoW, people would very quickly be done with the game, like other dungeon crawlers, Diablo relies upon random drops to keep people hooked, and even when legendaries do drop, you have to cross your fingers that it's any good to start with. Diablo 2 worked liked that and it's not like people didn't log a billion hours into that game.

SpookyLizard posted:God-for-loving-bid that people play a game and not get to experience 100% of the content in a single playthrough. poo poo, missing out on content I only heard about in the ending slides of new vegas had me hunting around for that poo poo, plus other, additional content I might've missed. Which I think is cool. Some people might people might be miffed at the idea of things happening without them, like the entire world is akin to that stupid cat in a box, and can only be resolved or have poo poo happen directly in front of them. Some of us find that missing out on content is cool because it makes the world feel alive, and that you're not the all important plot advancement device. I fail to see how stuff in New Vegas is at all different from the stuff in Skyrim. Caesar and the NCR are sitting there staring at each other for an eternity until the PC decides to do the quest.

Your Gay Uncle posted:The really hidden stuff in Darks is really, really well hidden though. I don't know how they expect you to be able to find the Painted World on your own. I missed going back to the Asylumn the first few times I played. I can understand returning to the Asylum. I can understand Ash Lake. But painted world? How do you not find the painted world if you do even a minimal amount of exploration? Edit: Oh man I'm totally dumb. I forgot you had to pick up the doll at the asylum to get to the painted world. I really should go back and play more Dark Souls

They're cool for like a minute and a half, tops, and then they all just turn into you doing the exact same thing over and over again with no change in animation or anything. Funny you mention these two because Mr. Freeze is by far the best fight the series ever did and Deadshot is the worst.

You have to remain within 20 yards of it at all times to hear the conversation." *Desmond just runs up a building for 20 minutes* Mission Failed.

All games should cater to my particular tastes and there's no room in the market for multiple approaches. Also, there should be no agreement or compromise between factions and this derail should continue on. I've been playing the original Prototype and I think it's kind of a fun open-world beat-em-up game but holy gently caress am I sick of the missions. Every mission devolves into you vs 6000 enemies with rocket launchers and knock back attacks. It seems hi-jacking military vehicles is the only reasonable way to complete anything.

mr. mephistopheles posted:The sheer number of mediocre games that get a pass because their badly written knock-off wannabe Hollywood movie story is "so good" while a game like Alpha Protocol just kinda got slammed because the gunplay is wonky while having one of the deepest branching storylines ever done and actual meaningful choices is really frustrating. Sorry but Tomb Raider, as a game, is way way better than Alpha Protocol. Tomb Raider has the best bow and arrow in pretty much any game, and the shooting isn't bad either. AP, from the amount I was able to get through, plays like hot garbage. I'm sure the story is a lot of fun but the game part of it is terrible. (The hacking minigame in AP is also the literal worst hacking minigame of all time)

death .cab for qt posted:Some bosses didn't even get proper introductions. Like Smelter Demon? Literally in a hallway leading into the second half of a large room, he doesn't get a boss arena, he gets a vestibule. It's like bumping into Satan for a boss fight at the breakfast nook in a holiday inn The fight is supposed to be cramped. I don't think Dark Souls fans even know what they want from Dark Souls bosses any more.

Vanguard Warden posted:I've been playing La-Mulana lately. It's a great game, but a lot of the puzzles are solely difficult because all of the hints for them are in completely unrelated rooms on the other side of the map. La Mulana is annoying as poo poo because often the only way to advance is to break a random wall with your whip but the game teaches you early on that randomly hitting walls with your whip can lead to you getting zapped and then killed. Also the entire game is designed with having a guide. Otherwise poo poo is impossible.

It seems like they keep tweaking and simplifying functions in ways that make the games more unwieldy and boring while ignoring the series' real problems, which mostly revolve around the combat being piss easy, clunky poo poo. The real problem with the AC games is that they are wildly successful and nerds think that Ubisoft is going to magically start catering to them at the cost of all the casual fans.

That said, it's not that big of a deal outside a few weapons and situations. It just means you need to be hitting a bonfire more often. And oh yeah. Swinging through corpses will really, really degrade your weapon. Don't do that.
