Looper posted:What is wrong with Battleborn? I don't know anything about this apparent debacle Fps moba released at almost the same time as Overwatch.(in a smart move Blizzard did a free weekend when bb released) Fps fans discovered the shooting to be not very good. Moba fans discovered that the abilities were not balanced. Everyone discovered that the match is decided in 10 minutes, but lasts 30-40.

TastyLemonDrops posted:Anyone know of any games that have a base building aspect, but not as the core aspect of the game? It doesn't have to be particularly deep. Could be something like the Suikoden series, or Fallout 4. You said it doesnt have to be deep, so i would suggest Pillars of Eternity. The devs themselves said they didnt do as well with the home base as they wanted, but it adds some fun new fights, the massive multi trip dungeon of the game is underneath it, and you get a neat large scale battle to keep it. The Colonel posted:valve's development process is weird and eventually led to just nobody really wanting to bother i guess Iirc the valve devs work on what they want, and aren't assigned anything. I know i would not be willing to work on a boring fps in a boring setting instead of making stupid fun hats or another puzzle game.

Excuse me sir, but bell peppers belong to the same genus as peppadews, and are in fact the same species as jalapenos Though if you want to be technical none of them are real peppers since pepper originally referred to peppercorn specifically, but was a fad word used to describe any pungent spice around the time we started stealing seeds from the Americas. Which is how it became the common name for the delicious fruits we all love.

I want an assasin game to have a mission that plays out like Franz Ferdinand's death. You meet a buddy at a bar to plan it out and suddenly the person walks or drives right by you so it's just this chaotic moment of opportunity that escalates into figuring out how to escape in all the chaos.

Definitely the best F-zero game we're probably going to get for a while. Edit: my goty is looking like FFTactics.

Nate RFB posted:I'm playing Dead Space 1 for the first time and here are my thoughts so far: Buy ammo for other guns or dont get other guns. The game drops ammo for what you dont have, so if youre full on everything else it will only drop ammo for the cutter. The easiest achievment is besting the game using nothing but the cutter. I missed it because i didnt learn that tip until too late.

GUI posted:There's some minor changes in levels and dialogue but for the most part it's the same. The final level is the exact same unlike the first game where it changed significantly depending on your Chaos level. Having just started the first game, i can see how that might be offputing, because kills raise chaos and like 90%of the upgrades are about murdering people. It takes an upgrade and limited ammo to knock people out if you get seen, and at least for the first assassination, the nonlethal version is a bit of a burden. So the amount of chaos is based more on your skill than letting you make decisions.

plz dont pull out posted:I think I bounced off The Witcher 3 three or four times. Not because any of it was bad, but just because it's so dense. Every new area seems to open up at least one new multi quest plotline that could potentially be the main quest in some other RPG. While they're all interesting and complex, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. I didnt get a chance to mention it when we were talking about episodic content, but witcher 3 does it really well with the dlc, where it starts you at an appropriate level for the dlc which is nicely self-contained. I highly recommend doing hearts of stone if the main quest and area has you feeling lost like this.

Re: combat I feel like platinum games are pretty widely regarded as great. Its just that they're pretty bad at even mentioning, let alone explaining advanced mechanics. I know dota chat is frowned upon in games, but in case anyone else plays the dumb game I turned into a banana as the new hero, the new update is hilarious and ridiculous. We HotS now boys. Back to good games though, been playing Black Flag and it's great. I love being a pirate going from a low chaos dishonored run. Did that guard have a wife and kids? Who cares, gently caress him, got mine.

LawfulWaffle posted:I think next year someone will come up with a VR app that will let you watch replays or live MOBA battles through a VR headset and allow you to control time, angle, zoom, and maybe even picture-in-picture so you can follow more than one character at a time, all while being able to provide you with additional information above the field of play or with different types of overlays. Watching the matches now is a little disorienting if you're not very familiar with the game, but if you could see all the action from above as well as lean in for a closer look or otherwise manipulate the playback it would take the experience to another level. Valve is already on that like white on rice my friend. FirstAidKite posted:Different kinds of games. Different strokes. In addition to this, DOTA specifically has 112 different heroes that could potentially fit someone's brain and playstyle perfectly which feels even better than winning imo. Which kind of comes back to the feel of combat like we were all talking about earlier. I know how to play all 112, i know how to play 110 well, but i probably only really enjoy playing 30 or so. Re: HotS, i think the reason it's not as successful as planned is because people who like mobas think it's a bit too simple, and people who dont like mobas dont like mobas. Though iirc plenty of high skill dota players play hots and/or hearthstone during their stupidly long queues. Ps. Black Flag owns, my quartermaster owns, and now that ive impersonated an assassin and pissed off the templars both, i cant wait to wreck a bunch of ships before i continue the story.

LawfulWaffle posted:Don't pro gamers have to retire at like 27 because their reaction times get dulled just a hair and they can't keep up with the new generation? I think one of the oldest players is 30. What do you do once you retire from pro gaming? It seems like a profession where you get picked up by a sponser in your teens and I don't think getting a degree is something your coach cares about. So you start pushing 30 and you're off the team, hopefully with a nest egg. What then? Coach? Commentate? Commercials? There's got to be scores of washed up gamers working at local grocery stores by now, forever reliving the gank that lost them the championship and sent him back to Ashtabula. A lot of them can continue to have good revenue via twitch. And for the se asians and eastern europeans, they can retire after like two tournaments due to the exchange rates.

plz dont pull out posted:Yeah, thinking about it I'd might say Syndicate is a better Starbreeze/Machine Games FPS than Wolfenstein, though it's been a while since I played it. gently caress yeah, Syndicate is my #1fps ive ever played. Everything in that game is fast and fluid, whether it's running, sliding, shooting, or using your weird augment powers. Even the music is hype and cutscene are either actiony or just quick. Harrow posted:That's a pretty boneheaded decision for a game that otherwise seems to be all about high-octane firefights and dual-wielding shotguns. I'm glad DOOM just lets you walk over health, armor, and ammo to get them. Wolfenstein:TNO is about a former neo-nazi realizing real nazis are bad and killing them all with throwing knives. I literally only used guns for the robots and bosses which is why those enemies were loving stupid. Let me pry open that robo brain with my knife. Let me kill the final boss with a knife to the skull through his wide open cockpit.

Ahahaha Black Flag, you had such a good setup for an interesting take where the MC is neutral and caught between a group of murderers and a bunch of fascists. But nope, native Americans are naturally assassins and Mayan magic stones. I love it. Ramming brigs to death and putting captain hats on random dudes owns though, so ill probably stop doing the mq as soon as i get the diving stuff and just see how many ships i can take on at once.

This is the one game where you get to meet the real Ocelot, and he's kind of boring guy who tells you to avoid getting split in half by a helicopter's machine gun. He twirls a gun literally once in mgsV. Actually my biggest grievance against the game.

What's everyones favourite thing they've done in a game recently? For me, playing Black Flag, I saw a spanish blockade, jumped off my ship, swam to each ship and covertly murdered every single crew member on all 7 ships before geting back on the Jackdale and instantly capturing every single one for my growing trade fleet.

Red Bones posted:What is the average age of a 3DS owner, do you think? Because there's stuff like this where it's like, oh, nobody has talked about Federation Force since it came out, but then the 3DS sales numbers are pretty rosy iirc. Maybe people talked about it a lot in playgrounds and in kindergardens? Federation Forces did poorly enough we dont know their sales figures because they never charted. For example, the first week it was available in Japan we know it sold less that 4,000 copies but no solid numbers. That's already small enough to be damning though.

I have problems finishing games, i think the first game i beat was warcraft 3 using cheat codes so i could beat everything to death with the night elf buildings. I think the first game i legit beat was either Cubivore or Windwaker. First game i 100%ed and really mastered was TES4: Oblivion. Even today im pretty sure i could tell you where to find and how to finish any quest as well as tonnes of bugs/exploits to get things like the 100% magic resist shield from an arena opponent or how to cheese umbra at level 1.

Harrow posted:Demon's isn't particularly vague at all, and neither is Bloodborne (at least with the DLC involved). There are definitely open questions about why the Great Ones need humans, but beyond that, the history of Yharnam and why it got hosed up is really clear. While i agree with you, in the other persons defense, i believe Demon's is much more vague about the player character than Dark Souls. Who they are and why they're alive, why they're tiny but important.
