Here is a new thread reminder that Gravity Rush 2 is coming out in two weeks, and that people should play Gravity Rush Remastered if they haven't. It's a good game, if flawed as gently caress. Gravity Rush 2 is going to be great.

Shadow225 posted:Hi, I've played some games recently. I don't know if I'd describe the ending to Gravity Rush as a cliffhanger; it's more that the story just kinda abruptly ends without resolving some plot threads. As for the combat, I generally agree, but also think it's worth mentioning that you appear to have completely forgotten Kat can throw objects as projectile weapons, and that's a really good way to attack those annoying mobile, flying enemies. The bigger issue with using that attack is that sometimes it's just not available though; the long climb through that column is a good example of when you might want to use it but probably can't.

I, for one, am very excited about Onimusha Souls, especially if they improved the systems even further from the Beta. They fixed drat near everything I disliked about the Alpha as it is.

veni veni veni posted:I really want to hear what the development cycle was like for that game. Hasn't it been in development for like 12 years or something, before Souls was even a thing? I am really curious as to what early builds are like before they decided to make it a Souls clone. Probably some combination of Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha.

Gravity Rush 2 has some pretty good statues. Good follow-up from the first game's fish.   I'm sure there a bunch more that I haven't run across yet.

I'm not super deep into GR2 yet, but I feel like it feels way better to play than the first one did. I specifically like how smoothly you can weave in between your powers (landing with a slide is a joy.) I'm still not entirely used to the way the gravity slide works in this game yet, but I'll work it out. It's mostly just a matter of figuring out why it doesn't always start right away. Failboattootoot posted:I'm just salty about that beefed up boss in one of the planes that I heard about in the announcements. So many instances of grav kick deciding to aim for weak spots that I did not have line of sight to and missing because of it. The flying one? I just threw poo poo at it until it died. It worked out pretty alright, even though it took longer than I'd have liked.

Manatee Cannon posted:ds2 was incrementally punishing you for loving up. it was in ds3 where you got bonus health (embering gave you extra health on top of you max rather than just giving you your full health bar like ds2 or demon's souls). you didn't lose soapstone messages or w/e for being dead in any of them tho It's really crazy how much presentation can change how you perceive something. At the end of the day, DeS, DS2, and DS3 have the same health mechanic with only slight differences in how they're implemented, but DS3's presentation makes it seem like a health bonus rather than a punishment like the others do. It's actually almost identical to the DeS implementation, with only a difference in number and presentation.

cubicle gangster posted:try the demo. it seems to me like a super dated ps2 era style collect poo poo and button mash through fights with a bit of a movement gimmick. i dont get the appeal I'm really curious how you interpreted that game as a collectathon. Nothing from either the first game nor the demo indicates that at all.

Waltzing Along posted:Could you explain how the boss fights are different between BB and the rest of the souls games? The entirety of Bloodborne is a tempered, paced aggression. Boss fights are no different from trash mobs in that sense. That said, I also don't think it's that different from a normal souls game. It's basically just a faster version of the shieldless playstyle.

Feenix posted:Also: I've seen almost every single person who is playing Gravity Rush 2 say that it has a terrible slog/slow start. Exactly when does that end? I just did the Forbidden Zone trials and it definitely got a LITTLE better as I was doing those.. but wondering if it really *blossoms* at some point or if it just kinda plays more or less about as exciting as it does right now? I don't agree with that sentiment, I loved the game from the first minute. That said, I'd say the breakaway point they're referring to is when you reach Jirga Para Lhao.

Unlucky7 posted:How is Gravity Rush 2 structured? I am still working through remastered (which is why I am not just checking out the demo) and while it's fun, it was obviously made for a portable (Not too much to do except collecting gems and missions). And the reviews make me think that there is not much difference between that and the sequel. The overall structure is pretty similar to the first game, but it has a lot more challenge missions with a lot more variety to them, and it has a ton of sidequests. Additionally, there's a "Treasure Hunt" online component, where you'll randomly receive photos of treasure chests in the world to search for. Jirga Para Lhao is also more interesting to explore and has a lot more variety in its environments than Hekseville did.

Feenix posted:The camera issues more or less have me ready to send it back to gamefly, but as I arrived at Jirga Para Lhao I started enjoying gathering the overworld crystals at least. The camera definitely takes some getting used to, but once you get a hang of it it isn't too bad. It can get kinda iffy in tight corridors, though. Thankfully, that doesn't come up too often.

Samurai Sanders posted:For me it's only a problem when I am in gravity mode and trying to run on non-floor surfaces. It sometimes swings around like crazy and also won't freely move in some directions. There's little practical reason to do that anyway though. Sometimes I wish the game didn't even have that feature. Yeah. Generally if I'm having camera issues it's because I'm using the gravity slide in a place where I probably shouldn't. The vast majority of the time the camera is fine.

TFRazorsaw posted:I thought they paid From Software to make it. I was mistaken. From Software developed it, but there was significant input by Sony in the development and, as mentioned, it's Sony published. Basically the same situation as Demon's Souls. Naughty Dog is actually first party. Maaaaybe second party if that distinction matters, but even then I'm not positive on that.

SamBishop posted:Exactly right on the first part, but Naughty Dog is a wholly owned SIEA studio. They're as first-party as it gets. From would definitely count as second-party for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls (in Japan, at least), since they're independent, but made the games exclusively for PlayStation systems. Yeah, I've never been entirely clear on what constitutes Second Party or what exactly Naughty Dog's status within Sony is, hence the hesitation there. Thanks for the clarification!

Soul Glo posted:This is all semantics but, to me, horror games are meant to scare the player and put them at a disadvantage. I can't really remember parts of the games I mentioned that set out to do that. Disturb, maybe. Souls/Bloodborne put the player on equal footing with the enemies. I can certainly think of a few areas in Souls or Bloodborne which have a legitimately creepy atmosphere (the Tower of Latria in Demon's Souls is a great example of this), but yeah. Souls and Bloodborne are action games first and foremost.

Bombadilillo posted:I think its a come back later type of fight. You can just go back to the region whenever you want. I probably should have done that. Instead I bashed my face against that wall until I beat him. That boss feels like it requires you to play perfectly, because if you gently caress up at the wrong time you're just dead, immediately. If it dealt significantly less damage and had significantly less health it'd be really fun, though.

veni veni veni posted:2 was a mix of good and bad features. I never liked being able to teleport everywhere and wish it hadn't made it into 3. Some of the QOL stuff was good though. I am so, so happy that DS1 is the only souls game that doesn't let you teleport everywhere from the start. I would be happier if none of them did.

veni veni veni posted:I don't hate that they let you teleport everywhere after the first one. It makes sense. It also killed how satisfying it was to open major shortcuts and how cool it felt to get the ability to fast travel to major bonfires though. It also just made me feel like I treated the games with less gravity which was something I really liked about demons and Ds1 I'd be okay with long distances between bonfires with appropriate shortcuts, I just strongly dislike that DS1 doesn't let you warp at all until lategame.

veni veni veni posted:I've started 4 like 3 separate times and felt like there was zero entertainment value in it. Play 15 hours is a pretty hard sell. I'm pretty sure whoever said "play 15 hours" was joking. That said, it's okay to not like a good game. It's just silly to act like it's some mystery why people like it, I guess? There are good games out there that I've deliberately avoided or just not bothered with beyond the intro because they didn't appeal to me, too. For example, I'll never play Titanfall 2 because I can guarantee that I won't enjoy it.

unlawfulsoup posted:But whatever floats your boat, I hate anime and ended up enjoying Persona 4 and it sort of broadened my horizons. I am not a fan of gothic horror at all and Bloodborne is arguably my favorite PS4 game. You don't know how something really is unless you are willing to try it. I'm not unwilling to play games that are outside my wheelhouse. I played through and enjoyed DOOM, for example. I just know that I wouldn't enjoy Titanfall, chill out.

Shadow225 posted:As someone who wants to try N:A, if you claim that you need to beat the game before it gets good, the game is not good. A couple things. First, I think it's good from the start, but the plot doesn't really hook you until B, maybe the start of C. Second, you haven't actually beat the game until you get ending E. The other endings are more like act breaks.
