Rise of the Tomb Raider is a game where the side content feels much better than the main game. The main game dragged for me and there are parts and enemies that feel like they were copied from the reboot.

homeless snail posted:I feel like there's lots of things you could say that about tbh. The game is kinda all over the place There are a few nitpicks that annoyed the hell out of me with the game. The game loves putting androids everywhere, which kind of leads to dull tedium in terms of "combat". Not only that, but the Alien will ignore them and beeline straight for you if you engage in combat with them. Then there is the alien AI which is really drat annoying in how you can expose yourself when you think it's safe because the Alien jumped back into a vent, but instead he decides to pop right back out again. I have had the alien jump in and out of the same vent like 2 or 3 times. And the game has like several places where it would be perfect to end, and it keeps going.

Usually games that look this good can't even meet 30. Its a Digital Foundry video. The kind of people that don't give a poo poo about those kinds of things usually don't really watch them.

Policenaut posted:I kind of liked the prehistoric GTAO style of RDR's online, with the DLC adding gambling and all that. Now with GTAO taking off the way it did they'll make you spend money to get chips to play. I actually thought GTAO was really fun before they added the yachts. They aren't necessary, but last time I played, they costed the equivalent of like $100 in real money. But I really do like the premise and just messing around online in it.

I honestly think the core of GTA O was very fun. The main thing that stopped me was that I just have so many other games to play. There are some goons on my friends list that still play it religiously. What really killed a lot of the fun for me was the armored Kuruma. After that came out, 90 percent of the players were driving with it and it made missions even less interesting than what they were before.

Dragon's Dogma is really punishing when you first start out, and then you pass a threshold and you're able to easily kill almost everything in the game until the post game, and then you pass another threshold and you can kill anything pretty easily. But the dungeon they added for Dark Arisen, I pretty much cheesed it because no matter what level you are there are a ton of things in there that can kill you in like two hits while it takes you forever to do damage to them. Plus it recycles a bunch of rooms. Also, there was an area in the game that I never knew existed until hours after I had already beaten the game and was just messing around.

veni veni veni posted:I really hope they rebalance dark arisen. It's basically impossible with a regular end game character after a few hours and the only way to get up to snuff is to grind NG+ which doesn't up the difficulty or Xp so it's just a complete slog. Really, the only thing they need to do is rebalance the latter half of the extra dungeon. Some of the enemies there just take way too long to kill even after you have grinded for a bit. When I beat it, most of it was spent running away from enemies or just spamming those super powerful arrows to stunlock and kill the bosses.

Manatee Cannon posted:just buy a billion periapts from fournival. each one is a 20% boost to damage (there's one for physical and magical damage. there are also ones for defenses but who cares) and you can stack up to 4 of each type. this trivializes everything in dark arisen, up to and including death and the final boss That's what I did along with the explosive arrows and the threefold arrow ability. But I think his/her point was that your options either are to do that, or to just power level, but after power leveling for hours and still not doing much, I just said gently caress it and did the periapt trick.

acksplode posted:Bloodborne is demanding and might require a lot of your time to get any satisfaction from it if you don't click with the gameplay early on. It takes some commitment to really enjoy it, but it's also good enough to be the one game you play for a while. I honestly didn't like it until I was able to get Ludwig's Holy Blade, which was the perfect weapon that went with my playstyle.

I recently went back to play Alien: Isolation again and watching streams of it, the game does a really piss poor job of teaching players how to actually play the drat game. 90 percent of streams either are at medical or before medical. Of those streams, 75 percent of them will be spent watching people hide in lockers, then taking 5 steps out of the room, hearing a blip on the motion tracker and returning to hide in the locker again.

Sakurazuka posted:The only difference between that and how you actually play the game is that you wait until you hear the stomp stomp stomp noise the alien makes before you go and hide in a locker After the first few minutes of being stalked by the Alien, I never once used a locker. They are pretty much death traps. Although, I do think a lot of the level design loving sucks for a stealth game with an unkillable foe. Sure, make a stealth game and fill it with hallways. A lot of times the stealth devolves into just going in circles around a table.

Dishonored was great other than the creepy non-lethal way of dealing with Lady Boyle. I was pretty much glued to that game for a while. So much, that it is making it hard for me to complete the DLC.

Dragons Dogma is a game with a deceptively small map. That being said, there was stuff that I still hadn't seen after beating the game, like Soulflayer Canyon. The added dungeon from Dark Arisen was kind of bullshit in that a lot of the enemies there were just health sinks and it was better to exploit using those exploding arrow things that pretty much ruin every boss in the game. But I can't wait to buy it again. I am a remaster whore.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Which is more satisfying, Titanfall 2 coop or Destiny 2 coop? Destiny 2 most definitely. There is simply more to it there if you just want coop. In terms of competitive gameplay, I give the nod to Titanfall because I find it a lot more unique and because I hate the bungie style of competitive multiplayer.

veni veni veni posted:Finished the BF1 campaign and I gotta say, that was actually kind of great. The mini campaign thing is pretty rad and I really wouldn't mind more of that. Especially in MP focused games. I really liked being able to finish a 1-2 hour campaign and bounce back into conquest in between. Then again, I'll always enjoy a competent shooter campaign when I'm in the right mood. I'm like the one weirdo on earth that thought the BF4 campaign was fun, aside from I think I would have liked the BF4 campaign a lot more if I didn't realize that it was going to be a 6-7 hour affair. When I first started it, I thought it would be something like 2 hours long. I was completely wrong.

I think one of the temples from Tales of Symphonia made me hate that game forever. I think it was the Shadow temple? Some temple where you had to lead these little blob things somewhere. I started getting pretty bored with it everything about it a little over halfway through the game. When I got there, I couldn't wait to be finished. But I did beat it. Never did play the sequel on the Wii though.

The last Ys game I played was Origins, which was surprisingly pretty good. I couldn't really tell you what the series is about though because I only ever played that one and I think one on TG16 where you hurt enemies by walking into them.

exquisite tea posted:I think I'm just pretty in tune with the stuff I like by now and don't take very many chances on goon recommendations, so I rarely find the need to muddle on. Chances are if a game leaves me with a strong impression I'll know within the first hour or so if it's worth my time. Same. There is so much poo poo out there to sink your time into, that waiting through drudgery is often annoying. Also, the worst things about Rage was everything related to the cars. The best things about it was the first person shooter gameplay. I took on most of the side missions because of that. Also, the ending to the game feels super rushed. You actually start exploring a new area that is completely different from everything else and then the game just ends. blackguy32 fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Oct 15, 2017 |

I have never really hated EA like a lot of gamers have and there are quite a few EA games that I love to play. But a lot of this stuff is just signs of the times. Game development costs are huge now while the price of video games haven't increased. But as we have seen with GTA online, people are eating this kind of poo poo up.

exquisite tea posted:SotC is definitely meant to make you feel uncomfortable killing the colossi, which is further highlighted by Wander gradually losing more of his humanity along the way. I loved the story but it's not something I think I'd ever have "fun" replaying. I agree with you on that. I beat the game and I think I only redid about 1 or 2 of the really fun ones. I remember some of them being large pains in the rear end that relied on the AI to cooperate with you to beat them. On a separate totally unrelated note, I was listening to the Deus Ex soundtracks and where did that game go wrong? It's a pretty solid game, but I remember losing interest with it, which was weird because I think I binge gamed through Human Revolution. There was just something that I hated about Mankind Divided that I can't put my finger on. I even read the prequel book that really didn't tell you much about what's going on in the game.

Manatee Cannon posted:I got the alien isolation bundle from the sale because gently caress it Some tips- Some weapons other than the Flamethrower can make the Alien run away Walking is better than crouching around most of the time. If the Alien is in the same room or adjacent to you, then you should be crouching. If your crafting items are maxed out, craft more stuff, Pipebombs are useful throughout the whole game. Lockers are pretty much a death trap in my eyes. You run out of options when you hide in a locker, and the Alien is programmed to run a check on lockers when you are in them. Tables are OP, at least on normal. The Alien can't really see over certain tables when you are crouching and you can just circle around it to evade it. You can use your wrench to kill a certain enemy that pops up much later in the game and it plays a special animation for it and saves ammo.

Im playing through Wolfenstein TNC and it feels like all of the impressive stuff about it is simply related to the story. Maybe its because I burned myself out on The New Order and The Old Blood, but it feels like absolutely no updates were made to the actual combat and gameplay.
