I really enjoyed DmC but even I have to agree it has one of the worst stories I've ever encountered in a game. I'd say Heart of the Swarm beats it by a hair but my god is it bad.

Great. FF4 was my absolute favorite game as a kid. I'd love to see an updated version. vvv I meant on the PC. I don't really play on any other platform anymore. Darkhold fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Sep 17, 2014 |

So aside from the general JRPG hate how is FFXIII? I stopped playing the series at FF7 and was always curious about picking up one of the newer ones. I'm ok with it being fairly linear (though I hear it's pretty much one long hallway? Is this accurate?) As long as the combat is fun.

Even without the Nemesis system it'd still be a rock solid beat'em up Batman in Middle Earth game. That extra layer adds a ton of personality to the game though. Just all the little details of walking around hearing Orcs comment on things you've done and are doing is just amazing. ^If Nuuvem is out GMG with the 25% voucher would be my next guess. That or someone like Captain Inviticus who'll give you 15% off the Steam price at the very least.

A little late for all the FF chat but I picked it up for like $2 after my playfire credit. Probably still wasted my money but hey I was still curious about the game and it's not too big a price to pay. Kinda blurry on my screen hopefully those fan patches people are working on will make the resolution actually work. I'm still playing through Shadows of Mordor so it's not like I'm in a hurry to get to it.

If your game is only scary because it screws up your progress you don't have a very good horror game.

Here's why checkpoints without QS are (usually) terrible. Say there's a very atmospheric section of the game (or difficult if we're talking about a game that's not horror). You give it a few tries and eventually get past it. Right past that point there's a difficulty spike. You die. Now you go through the same section only you know everything in advance and do it much quicker. You die again at the difficulty spike. So now you're tired and pissed that you have to go through the same section AGAIN before attempting the part you're struggling with. The atmosphere is dead as you're just plowing through that part. It's stupid and tedious now instead of tense and exciting. So what's the answer? Checkpoints before each challenge? All you're doing then is signposting your difficulty spikes making the game predictable. Your other choice? Checkpoints all the time everywhere so what's the point in not having a QS anyway? It's a bad system that some people seem to have some weird need to defend. A few months ago I was playing a checkpoint game where there was a really long hard section that was exactly the situation I was talking about above. I got all the way through it finally only to have a checkpoint hit at the exact moment an enemy spotted me. My playthrough was hosed unless I reset the whole chapter and not only having to re-do the pain in the rear end section but alot of unskippable cutscenes and other nonsense. Now don't get me wrong. I don't think Checkpoints are impossible to make well but they nearly never are and the few times they are it's a case of Darksouls where it's just part of the gameplay or indistinguishable from when I'm just allowed to save at will anyway. You have to have a designer that has tuned it perfectly and it's a waste of effort when there's a simpler solution out there.

Quest For Glory II posted:The AI is cheap, and the Disguise system is flat out broken. On Easy difficulty (where the Instinct system, aka "Get Out Of Being Recognized Free Card", recharges), I had to use-- and hold down-- the Instinct button CONSTANTLY just to get anywhere. It feels kind of like you're being punished for trying to be stealthy, which makes no sense. If the disguise system wasn't broken, this would be a much more playable game, with the caveat of a story that seems cruel towards women and is full of dumb "AAA game" bullshit. Can't argue at all about the story though. They tried for american grindhouse but it just comes off as bad in a bad way not in a funny way.

Deakul posted:Oh yeah, I actually have this but haven't tried playing it seriously yet. Good thing is you only need to level each class once as you can always switch around your build on the fly if you see some more interesting skills you want to try out. Make sure you start on hard (not normal it's pointless) and blow through the story mode as fast as you can so you can unlock adventure mode. Good thing is though for a few more days your XP is doubled for Halloween (on top of the difficulty XP bonus) so you should be able to level a couple of characters very quickly and find what you like. If you're looking for Goons to play with make sure you join the community LLJK and the guild. You'll probably want to start a seasonal character as well because there's currently a slight majority of goons playing seasons and as you're starting fresh anyway it won't matter to you. Edit: oh and I'll happily powerlevel you if I'm on and that's your thing. Darkhold#1887 Darkhold fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Nov 1, 2014 |

Fuligin posted:I'm in the mood for a city builder, what are people's thoughts on Banished and Anno 2070? Banished is a pretty simple (in theory) village simulator with no tech tree so you can build anything you want if you have the materials. The challenge is mostly about building a population up without triggering a death spiral. A couple of games you'll have figured it out and it'll just be a nice chill building game. Anno is all about supply lines and getting resource A to point B before your city starts to run out and collapse. The combat is total poo poo and should be avoided as much as possible IMO. More about exploration and figuring out most efficient routes for your goods/services. You really can't go wrong with either. I got more playtime out of Anno I think but I recommend both.

In the UK at least you can still just order the physical copy from Amazon and get it for £39 It's the exact same story as Origin. For some reason the digital copy is way more than the boxed copy you can order, register and toss.

Deakul posted:Well, ok, I was just recommended to start with hard on my first play through. Normal: Crazy easy. Pointless unless you're using it to grind something out. Hard: pretty much 'normal' difficulty. You have to pay a little attention to gear/build but not much. Expert: you have to stay on top of the gear curve or have a few legacy items/paragon levels. Not because you'll die but because monsters will take forever to kill. Master: Without decent gear and legacy items/paragon levels everything takes too long to kill and this is the first level that will really punish you for lack of gear by killing you. Torment 1: This is the start of the endgame. Hitpoints inflate way more than damage in this game so time to kill is a bigger deal than getting one shot by mobs in the lower levels.

If you've already gotten yourself some good legacy gems and paragon levels you can solo T1 and get there in about 4-5 hours though 65-70 is a painful slog no matter what. No good gear and you know you'll be trashing anything you get the first 70 drops you see.
