How is Valiant Hearts? Does it have any gameplay or do you just walk right and press buttons? It looks interesting, at least.

Cool, thanks! I got the PS+ game but I don't have a PS4. Might get it while it's cheap for the PS3.

I replayed Remember Me a while ago and ended up liking it more than during my first playthrough. It's a flawed game with an interesting premise and great graphic/sound design. During my second playthrough I used the French dub which probably helped since I can't tell whether they're good or not... Just don't do what I did and play it on hard difficulty - the fighting system is too limited for it to be worth the trouble. The worst thing about the game is all the missed potential, but it's not a "bad" game imho, just flawed, and with really dumb dialogue.

Max Payne isn't as good as MP2 but it's definitely still worth buying and playing. It's a fun linear shooter.

For what it's worth, I grew bored with Dishonored's story and mechanics by the fourth level. It's fun to teleport around for a while but then it grows pretty stale.

Is there any point in buying Yakuza 5 if I didn't enjoy 4? I got to the second character and then just stopped because the story just didn't do anything for me, and the fights got tedious and same-y.

abagofcheetos posted:If the first character of Yakuza 4 doesn't hook you then you may as well just abandon ship from the series. Akiyama spends 15 minutes explaining "Clan A has made a faux pas and you should give them a stern talking to." By the fifth I wanted someone to kick him in his condescending face. That would also make the scene finally end. I thought the MGS games were bad with regards to cutscene length but they have nothing on Y4. Even with the length I wouldn't complain that much if the dialogue and directing didn't scream lower class soap opera. Or if Akiyama didn't act like a complete tool towards everyone. The second guy wasn't much better - a complete idiot hypocrite who yells at people for not giving a poo poo about lives while he himself murders people because of Yakuza honor or some other stupidity. The gameplay isn't even fun. The fighting isn't much deeper than a Dynasty Warrior game, and you spend most of your time running back and forth the same streets over and over again. The side content is all bad fetch quests or worse mini games. The karaoke is amusing but there are better rhythm games I could be playing instead. So I won't be spending any more cash on the series.

Naughy Dog games usually let you turn subs on/off by pressing Square during cutscenes. It's pretty great.

Wolfsheim posted:Hmmm...is DOA5:Last Round worth $15? I remember liking a few of the older games well enough if not loving them. Is it just more of the same? It's a GREAT game for casual matches with friends. Rematches load instantaneously and the counter system makes for fun "moments". It's my favorite couch vs. fighting game.

MeatwadIsGod posted:I saw Spirits Within in theaters as a kid for some reason even though I've never played a Final Fantasy game. Except for a name drop or two, the movie had very little to do with the franchise anyway. However, it's not bad and the SF setting was well realized for its time. I'm 100% sure the Mass Effect devs stole most of the designs the movie came up with.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:Enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot (though I think it could have been even leaner by not having waypoints/an overworld map) and will play Rise when it gets released on this platform. I didn't bother with the Trilogy but I have it on Steam so I'll try that too. Be aware that Rise has like three times as many collectibles and crafting. Also they cut off routes to several different areas after you've beaten so you have to teleport to return to them, for literally no reason. It's a lot bigger and a good game but I enjoyed the first one more.

Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse are both good games. But if you're only playing one, then PC is definitely the best one.

morallyobjected posted:saying people can't enjoy one game because a better game exists is one of the silliest opinions in this thread. no one said it was a masterpiece or that no better games existed. you clearly didn't like it and that's fine, but other people have, clearly, and especially at a lower price than its launch value, which does make a difference to a lot of people This reminds be of all the people tearing Remember Me to shreads, while I've beaten it twice (first in English then in French). The fighting system is pretty unique and the environments and music are great. The interesting premise is unfortunately wasted on a story that swings but misses most of the time. It's a flawed game that still is worth playing. Still, I have NO idea why the developers decided to make another action-oriented game after having a small hit with Life is Strange.

I love the UC games but the "puzzles" are painful on repeat playthroughs. They are extremely easy but even if you know how to solve them they still take long to solve because of animations, small vignettes after beating a subpuzzle, etc. Still, I've never understood the complaints about the game being more of a movie than a game. What makes it less of a game than other action titles like Gears of War, Max Payne or Halo? Renoistic fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 25, 2016 |

I got bored with Witcher 3 very quickly but played SP MGSV for 140 hours. The difference is that, while repetitive, the game play of MGSV is extremely good. Also the enemy AI actually puts up a fight, sends for reinforcements from actual locations in the world, and switch gear depending on your play style. It's great.

Getsuya posted:Actually I feel this way lately about any long RPG I play. 'Am I still playing this because I actually care about the plot and characters and want to see a resolution or am I playing it because I've spent 20 hours on it expecting it to get better but now it's a tedious grind and I'm afraid to admit I wasted 20 hours.' That's me with Witcher 3.

Pablo Gigante posted:Have you ever played a Souls game? I played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls for a couple of hours but couldn't get into them. I hear Bloodborne is supposed to be the best in the "series", though. I normally enjoy character action games like DMC and Ninja Gaiden, but there was just something about the old Souls games that didn't click with me. That combined with the harsh checkpoint system made it hard to bother with the effort. I really would like to get into the series though.

King of Solomon posted:I'm really curious what connection you saw between the gameplay in a game like DMC and the gameplay in Souls. I meant Bloodborne, not the other Souls games. It's pretty superficial I guess, but I got the impression Bloodborne is more fast paced than the others, focusing on aggressiveness and heavy use of invincibility frames.
