Neddy Seagoon posted:It's really night-and-day coming from WoW, and I think what does it is there's a lot less fuel to the "screw you, got mine" fire. Loot in the raids is portioned out by just your 8-man party, instead of a 20+-player slapfight over a few items, in raids for example. Plus there's no situation where you're fighting literally everyone else to get quest mobs or gathering spawning interactives because they're all local to you. Wow classic is really good, I had one literal genuine nazi gently caress guy in 100s of hours, and so many nice experiences with random players.

Hattie Masters posted:From what I remember, they said part of the reason they set up Deathloop like they did was so that if you broke stealth it was an entirely reasonable thing to just fight your way out, unlike in Dishonored where it was easier to just reload a quicksave. I don't understand this post because generally, seconds after going loud in dishonored, you're standing in a room of corpses

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Yeah but the problem was then you got the bad ending. You can kill so many people and still get the good ending, but they didn't communicate that very well. It's mainly what you do with the targets that decides the ending.

Idk, it made me feel a genuine kind of creeping horror as the pogrom tightened, I thought the outrage was a little overblown. I'm sure they could have done it better but trying to evoke real world horror is better than being afraid to try in case people yell at you.

WirelessPillow posted:In Far Cry 6 the player character occasionally sings the songs playing on the radio of whatever vehicle you are driving, and if you step out while singing they will finish whatever line they are singing unaccompanied by music. Its a small thing but it really helps building up the character. That's so the song they're singing doesn't just cut out, I agree it's kind of cool though

Yeah, but it would sound odd if the character's singing got cut short at the same time, you'd be able to tell it was just a sound file playing.

CJacobs posted:Darkest Dungeon 2's tone is so rad. I love the biting sarcasm in every single "the people have been given hope!!! the loathing abates!!! good job!!!" quip from the Ancestor. On the surface it's completely straightforward: Flip the first game's theme on its head to find your heroes restoring light and hope to the world one piece at at a time instead of struggling for ground as it is continually taken away. You start equipped with desire, instead of nihilism. The intra party dialogue is all goon written, afaik, a thunderdome bud did it.

Josef bugman posted:To me it seemed more like a slog and a half. That and a load of bug complaints. being able to freely go realtime/turnbased is really good, best implementation of it in any game of its type. The system is a goddam nightmare though, totally agree, but sometimes you just want to spend ten minutes tapping ur chin and reallocating your magic bonus items to eke out another +1 on reflex defense for your off tank magus/barbarian.

Last Celebration posted:Something I don’t think the game can be assed to explain is that mounted L2/R2 attacks both work by holding the button to do a melee drive by attack, that helps a lot with mounted combat. yeah, like any group of baddies in the open world is basically effortless and riskfree to defeat when you're mounted. Bosses will destroy you, though.

Kit Walker posted:The thing about mounted combat that always sucked in basically every game ever is having attacks that both have tiny loving hitboxes pretty much right next to the player, and have a miniscule duration. So you pretty much have to either stand right next to enemies whacking them repeatedly which misses the point of mounted combat, or you have to attack with frame perfect accuracy as you run by because otherwise you miss. I haven't played Elden Ring yet, but the bigger swings and the fact that you can ready an attack seems like it solves both issues Yeah it owns, it's the only game I've ever played that makes it fun.

Philippe posted:Bioshock solved it fifteen dang years ago: give you an audiolog in the beginning of an area, have the audiolog give you some information on the people you're killing or the area you're in, and let you explore while you're listening. Then you basically have a podcast about the game you're playing. It's mindboggling that other games don't do it that way. Dragon age 1 is infinitely better if you read each of the lore pickups as you get them, it adds a lot of texture to the World and the story

Randalor posted:a sever case of "But what if both sides are bad?" when one side is "The racists wanting to oppress everyone not white enough" and the other is "Literally everyone being oppressed by them" in the storyline. It's been a while, but I think that is a bit goon telephoney? revolutionary lady is not exactly sympathetic, but that's what happens in revolutions. Your society has become so poo poo that extremely violent people are a viable alternative to the stuff quo. And there wouldn't need to be a revolution if not for the racism, (which you get killed for). I mean it could be I'm remembering it wrong and the protag states the 14 words while staring at the screen and nodding, but I got the strong impression that the game is about the historical roots of American racism and exceptionalism in a very text way, and it's a bit eye rolly to say Levine thinks racism is just like not-racism because if so why bother making a game about it?

Rockman Reserve posted:I loved Bioshock Infinite, I think it's biggest flaw is that the stuff with the Vox Populi doesn't really make much sense without the overall greater context of the ending, but happens like halfway through the game. Still, the gunplay was fun, the graphics were great for the time, and not nearly enough games go the route of making the protagonist completely and utterly irredeemable, even in the context of magical alternate dimensions and superscience. Plus, Elizabeth is a really fun character - she's written pretty terribly for most of the game but then at the end when she's given any real agency at all, she immediately erases you from existence as hard as she possibly can. yeah lmao fucken owned booker you dumb putz

ty for binfinite chat goonfriends, it's annoyed me for a bit but even though i don't think it's 'both sides are wrong' i can see now how sloppy storytelling makes it look that way. my favourite little thing in games is seeing the dwarf fortress nerds blissfully happy big dumb faces, there are men who are unironically living the dream. also the soundtrack for the new steam version slaps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgXQKqGhfIY
