Guys, I'm sorry for buying critically acclaimed games that people barely detail the flaws of and not enjoying them when those flaws turn out to be huge and make said game not worth a gently caress if you have a low tolerance for obviously poor game design bullshit. I'll make sure to know exactly what a game is like before I consider buying it in future. Holy poo poo guys, think about how your average jemoke would react to even watching a video of someone playing the likes of Automata or Last Guardian.

Real hurthling! posted:buy yakuza next, this is fun Put 50 odd hours into Yakuza 0. Have Kiwami pre-ordered. Great game. Plays really well. No constant struggle with any of the basic mechanics of the game and it stays entertaining past the initial few hours.

Mordiceius posted:Great. You should play NieR Automata because the same is true about that. Nah, dishwater dull past the first few hours due to a pointless big ole empty map and lovely sidequests. The second playthrough having a reskin of the twin stick shooting as a "new" mechanic along with the second most annoying character as the protagonist seals the who-gives-a-poo poo deal. I'm sure it subverts conventions or whatever but that doesn't stop it from being real tedious and loving boring.

veni veni veni posted:This thread will aggressively rave about stuff, call it best game of all time everyone should play, and recommend things to people even if it's not a good fit, then then insult people when they buy it and don't like it. The sad thing is that I actually really like the core combat in Automata despite not being even vaguely a fan of Platinum but I just can't get past the utterly poo poo regressive design, glaring repetition, mediocre trite story and awful voice acting. It is a game that I want to enjoy but it is just so flawed that I can't be arsed with it.

katkillad2 posted:I actually agree with you about both Nier and TLG, although I didn't let the 2nd playthrough of Nier stop me from enjoying the story and game. Yeah, I think of this kind of thing as the "it's supposed to be poo poo because ........" defense. I play games to relax and be entertained. I don't force myself to play sort of crap stuff because life is too loving short. Whenever I read about someone complaining about grinding for whatever in a game being sooooooo boring I just think "holy poo poo dude, just loving quit and go do something else enjoyable. Go for a walk, watch a movie, visit your loved ones or play something else. Don't keep doing the bad boring thing that you know is bad and boring"

FishBulb posted:I just played horizon on normal cuz I don't gotta prove myself to no video game Same. I play most stuff on normal unless a particular games whole thing is that it is designed to be harsh-but-fair like the Souls games or something. A lot of that stems from devs basically deciding that: "bigger numbers=harder" in a lot of cases and it breaks the core mechanics of a good few games.

Nioh has been the perfect palette cleanser for my disappointment with Nier and TLG. It's just so loving good. It plays like a faster Dark Souls (but not like quite Bloodbourne) but it has some excellent QoL improvements and i never thought that closed off 'levels' that you could clear would work in this type of game but they most certainly loving do.

It tends to be a mixture of garbage I don't want and the aforementioned cheapo games I already bought on PSN/STEAM sales if I was even vaguely interested in them.

I'm about halfway through Nioh and i'm still loving it. However, it does appear that the difficulty is front-loaded because it feels like it is getting gradually easier. Killed a couple of recent bosses handily in my first attempt.

DrNutt posted:Any amount of time spent playing a game you don't enjoy is a waste. gently caress, go read a book, go play outside, or play any of the literally thousands upon thousands of other games out there, some of which you may actually enjoy. I've tried having this argument here before but there are an awful lot of folks that will do dumb poo poo like grind poo poo for 10s of hours or do multiple playthroughs of stuff with their own hosed up self imposed restrictions and then complain about how annoying it is.

Started Persona 5 and i'm actually really liking it so far. The combat is really nicely streamlined and quick and the dialogue is fairly snappy. It's anime as gently caress but it doesn't take itself too seriously so it's not so bad. Only issues i have are that there are a LOT of loading screens and i'm about 4 1/2 hours in and it's still fairly linear.

Paracelsus posted:What sort of non-linearity were you looking for in a game like this? The most you can really do is rush certain social links to get access to the good stuff earlier (Death 7 for half-price SP regen accessories that are drat near mandatory, Temperance 10 for ability to do stuff in evenings after palaces/mementos plus bonus time slots to read/study/make a tool, Fortune 7 to be able to spend money to advance social links, maybe Sun 10 to be able to recruit shadows who have higher levels than what you probably have for their palaces). It's probably more that i haven't reached the bit where the social link stuff really open up yet. The story is literally going from beat to beat without any opportunity to gently caress around yet.

Morby posted:Well there's Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 I guess? We haven't heard anything about them since E3 a couple years ago. Are they even still happening? Nobody knows! I think I'm the only person who owned an Xbox and never gave a single gently caress about Halo. KOTOR and Fable were more my speed and Microsoft has put 0 effort towards that type of game for at least the last 5 years. My major frustration with the Xbox brand is that there seems to be a lack of diversity in the lineup. It's mostly sports, FPS, and racing. That's basically it. They occasionally branch out with something like a Quantum Break or a Sunset Overdrive, but they seem to instantly dump the IP. It really did turn into the MuricaBox once the Xbone came out. Just GearsHaloForza and very little attempt to branch out into anything else. Anything else even remotely different that comes out seems to have been in development for years now and it just sort of gets released eventually and dies a death or gets cancelled with zero fanfare.

Sony don't need crossplay for Minecraft because their install base is bigger than the Bone, Wii U and Switch put together. If someone wants to play Minecraft with friends they'll more than likely do so on their PS4s that all of them will probably own already.

Killing floor 2 was some pile of shite to give away with PS+ this month. I've tried on 5 separate occasions to find a game in matchmaking and have just given up after 15 minutes every time. That's loving dire for a game they are giving away for nothing this month. It must be truly awful.

MGS5 is poo poo. Do the same base 5 times with slightly different objectives padded out with one of the most barren open worlds imaginable. You'll find the optimal way to handle the base the first time you do a mission in them. Thrilling stuff.

Hellblade reviewing really well is the "too much winning" point for PS4 games this year. I'm still working my way through FF12 and Kiwami is out in a few weeks along with Everybodys Golf. And i still have to take Wipeout out of the shrinkwrap. And play the Life is Strange prequel. And there's the Uncharted and Horizon DLC. And GT Sport. This is a loving bonkers time for gaming.

Have to say, it's pretty cool that you get the new Uncharted game free if you bought the season pass for Uncharted 4. If I recall correctly the pass only cost me around €8 when I got it with the game on launch day in Gamestop. At the time it was just going to be a couple of sets of cosmetic items and an unspecified single player episode at some point in the future but they are giving people the €40 spin off game as the single player DLC now. I had even traded in my copy of UC4 and it still let me pre-order the new one for free last night.
