Anatharon posted:When I heard about Playcoins I figured they'd be neat side things in games but the only time I ever used them was a brief stint of Animal Crossing where you could get Nintendo themed stuff to gather dust in your house for them. Charon will also accept them to revive you in SMT IV in lieu of Macca. Sometimes. When he feels like it.  Of course being able to save directly before any hard encounters cut down on that usefulness but at least they tried.

PhrenzZ posted:Just wait until Yukari chooses to cast Magaru instead of healing your MC on the final phase of the final boss and causes you to redo the entire hour or so long fight. Multiple times. The moral of the story is "play P3P, then watch The Answer on YouTube". Or don't bother because the story of Persona 3 is self-contained and didn't need an epilogue. Needless stories stapled on to updated versions of Persona titles is my thing dragging these games down. At least P3 had the decency to not shoehorn in an entire new character for it, unlike P4G.

Mokinokaro posted:Reread his post. He's talking about p4 golden with Marie who was a dumb addition to the plot. That's what I was getting at, yeah. Metis is at least only in The Answer, Marie smears herself and her stupid hat all over the rest of the game too. That being said P4G is awesome because of everything else it has and has the best character, It's the fox.

The charm tables in MH3U are bugged, you're supposed to generate a new seed and thus pull from a new charm table whenever you load the game. Instead it assigns you a table at character creation and you're stuck with it, which is extremely lovely. Later (and earlier!) entries in the series actually work properly when it comes to that. Actual thing dragging a game down: Wasteland 2 if you could make the object highlight outlines a little fainter and harder to pick out that would be great. And make more of them light yellow on predominately orange and reddish backgrounds.

marshmallow creep posted:I was not exaggerating in the Tyranny thread when I said my first five or so hours with the game were really just looking for a portrait I could slot in for the character model I put together. For all of its faults currently, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has fantastic character portraits that accurately reflect your customization choices. It's the little things. On topic, I really dislike how lengthy some of the animations can be in Starcrawlers. Notably when Rookie Copbots throw poo poo at you, that takes way too long.

DoubleNegative posted:You are very much not intended to complete the advanced combat tutorial. I don't even know why it's still on that menu, as it's one of the hardest challenges in that game. Thats good to hear. I kind of figured that was the case since you have your lovely starting ship against multiple ships with really bad weapons. Now I'm fumbling around trying to judge astrological distances and figuring out how everything works. But its fun!

Olive Garden tonight! posted:I hate games where graphical/audio settings are tied to user profile. Games I can think of right now that do this are Dragon's Dogma and Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. They are MAXIMUM VOLUME during the dev logos/title screen, and only once I press start do they adjust to the reasonable volume I keep them set at. Prey does this as well, but its hard to tell whats tied to the profile and what's just the god awful sound balancing in general. The thing dragging down otherwise great game Prey 2017: the god awful sound balancing. Why yes I wanted my eardrums blown out because January spoke thank you very much.

I feel like the chance of success/critical failure chances in Wasteland 2 are way off sometimes. I know its just confirmation bias and the whims of RNG but goddamn it feels bad to miss two 95% chance shots in a row with my sniper. Also the voice acting is eight different kinds of terrible.

Guess that's why people really insist on playing MGS through release order. 3 has the best fishing minigame and this makes it objectively the beat Yakuza. Gripes for Kiwami: getting Majima to show up in his proper styles for Dragon of Dojima progression/achievements. I need Mad Dog style oh hey there he is Majima please stop dancing and knife-fight me for the love of god.

Sounds like Jack in the basement with mention of the chainsaw? In which case mentioning crouch-walking is especially hilarious because you can crouch-walk under 80% of his attack animations and take no damage at all. His hit-boxes are basically horizontal lines, but in haste to rush over to post how bullshit a pretty easy boss is I guess hitting more than back on the control stick is kinda hard.

Len posted:I got Wolf2, Doom, and Prey for $15 each on black Friday and I'm thinking I'll move to Doom next once I get this done. I'm on the last real level and I should be close to the end of it. The games just throwing lots and lots of the heavily armored dual wielding fuckers and those robot dogs that spot lasers at me. I don't think I'll platinum this after I see those credits roll. Move to Doom now. It's by far the better fast-paced FPS and everything Wolf2 does Doom does right.

E: this isn't the favorite things thread so here's one dragging the game down: monsters run way too often. I know I can stagger them with slinger ammo but sometimes that can be annoying to do.

I love it. Edit for an actual thing dragging it down: The window for heat moves seems a lot more finicky in K2.

Danaru posted:Lockpicking in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is loving impossible on console because rather than just rotating the mouse on PC, you have to rotate BOTH joysticks which need to be rotated at slightly different speeds, and if you gently caress up the rhythm it makes you start over It’s pretty lovely on PC too because there’s no real indicator within the wheel itself as you turn/rotate the lock so it’s very easy to get it out of the sweet spot mid turn and gently caress up. First mod I installed added spokes to the graphic so I had some sense of where I was and it was like night and day.

rodbeard posted:Yeah but they got a lot better at balancing the individual splat books and made it so that you can only use one for any organized play. There's a lot less new options per book too. They mostly focus on world building and stuff that they can copyright. Plus rather than feats being something you gain every 3 levels, it’s now every four and you have to choose between that or increasing your core stats. Plus they’re entirely optional. If you don’t want feat bullshit in your game and you’re the DM, you have the option to say no feats. 5e has a lot of problems (I still like it though) but feats really aren’t one of them.

People complaining about Irons feels like being shocked and appalled at actual horror showing up in their horror video games. Pike yeah zombies and their goopy grossness are kinda scary, but having an actual horrifying situation and person showing up is a bridge too far and “in bad taste” or whatever. Zombie movies are always ultimately horrifying because of the people that aren’t the zombies, complaining about that seems to so utterly miss the goddamn point its baffling.

Druidstone: Some missions seem to decide you’re going too slow and start flooding the map with a never ending cavalcade of bullshit after like three rounds. One in particular where I have to gather five flowers has been especially frustrating, since its already full of beefy enemies and then whoops go faster or get swarmed as it spawns about six more enemies every other turn.
