I beat 3 games in January so I'm mostly going to spend February trying to not buy Yakuza til I whittle down my backlog a bit more. Time to finally get more than an hour into Bloodborne and beat Dying Light whenever my friends are available. e: I've also told myself I need to beat Bloodborne and DkS3 before I get Nioh which means I'll probably get Nioh in like October. suuma fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Loose Ifer posted:It took me setting aside an entire afternoon to actually get into bloodborne this past week, but now i can't put it down. Once you get out of the first area and start opening shortcuts it get's a lot more fun imo. Yeah, it's great. I just got involved in other games and put it down for a while. I know everybody says they're not super comparable but I can't help making the comparison - I beat Dark Souls 1 like 15 times and got all of the achievements, but just couldn't really get into 2. 3 was great but I never finished it because there was too much other stuff to play. suuma fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Wasn't PoE2 already fully funded and they were just doing the thing on fig for more cash? I like Obsidian and their games a lot but poo poo like "well if we get 100k more dollars we'll do more voiceover than we planned!! seems kinda dumb. Oh we got x dollars I guess we can increase the level cap arbitrarily!

Captain Invictus posted:On the other hand, cosmetic loot crates allow for support for some games farther than they otherwise would get, like tf2 and others. They don't affect gameplay either. And good ones allow the loot to, generally, drop outside of the crates, though maybe without some special aspect (in tf2's case, special effects or stat counters). TF2 is full of items that change gameplay, though? e: at least it was when I played it, maybe you only get cosmetics from crates I don't know

Welp, beat Bloodborne finally. A+ would bleed again. Holy poo poo there's a lot of optional/missable content though. I definitely missed a lot. Is the DLC worth it?

Bloodborne is a pretty good stand-in for Castlevania at this point, for me anyway.

Grinding the 10,000 in Central Yharnam isn't so bad at least if you're killing the stuff that drops blood vials more often (i.e. the big dudes).

Bicyclops posted:Is there any reason I should be saving Coldblood Dew? I sort of forgot about them and I have a ton. The Coldblood items serve as blood echoes that you can carry around and not lose when you die. You can use them if you want, generally I save them (and the similar items in Dark Souls) until I need to buy something that I can't afford or recover from a death. Later on you get so many blood echoes that farming 6-10 vials per pass through Central Yharnam is kind of tedious.

Bicyclops posted:Are vials really that hard to come by later? I feel like I can't get enough of them right now. I try not to use them unless I'm fighting a boss, in the middle of a long, extended trek, or I just fought something is probably going to drop one and I'm missing a little health. I don't think I've ever used 10 or more, it just seems like at the point where you need that much healing, you're already dead. They're not hard to come by at all - there's a decent farming path that involves warping to the bridge (Cleric Beast) and clearing to Tomb of Oeden (Father Gascoigne) where you're guaranteed 6 + random drops (usually 10 or so) and it takes all of like 4 minutes. It's just tedious when you use 15 for a boss and have to go farm them again. The other Dark Souls games (at least, DkS1 that I remember) had much higher Souls (blood echoes) costs for upgrading weapons, so it helped to have some Coldblood/whatever on hand. Bloodborne seems to be a bit more generous about it.

I figured that probably means World War 2, maybe WW1 if they want to keep copying what EA/DICE is doing.

Loose Ifer posted:I got the the fire dog the first chalice dungeon last night, in Bloodborne. He's a tough dog. On this topic, when are chalice dungeons intended to be done? Are they near end-game content? I just started NG+ but wondering if I go in now if I'll get destroyed, versus going in around the time I'd be ready to go NG++, if that makes any sense?

MMF Freeway posted:They scale from early game difficulty into post-game difficulty by the end. I also don't think they scale with NG+ so you are gonna destroy the first like 75% of them at your level. In Training posted:They don't scale to NG+ so you will destroy the first 90% of them. They're designed to be played parallel to the progression Oops. Okay, cool, thanks. I think I only have access to one at the moment anyway. I skipped so much on my first playthrough without realizing.

I want to pick up Nioh but I'm forcing myself to finish Bloodborne first. May or may not finish up DkS3 first too, I'll probably be tired of Souls-likes by then.

Rexroom posted:Blizzard thinks otherwise. To the level that they are campaigning console makers not to bring mouse controllers to their platforms. Why don't console makers just add keyboard/mouse support for games/consoles and be done with it? e: like seriously every game should just be a PC version and you can use whatever control you want, controller gimmicks like the wii are stupid

Right, I get it, console shooters don't have mouse support because some players would then have an advantage, but if everybody has access to it what's the problem?

Personally I don't really care about ME:Andromeda because ME was already a trilogy that ended. "Well it's about another part of the ME universe" is sort of like having a Star Wars movie with no ties to any of the central Star Wars characters. I'll probably still play it.

CJacobs posted:It is neat, but I feel like they went about it in the wrong order. You meet the legion guys first thing, then you go into the town hall to find out what happened. imo it would've been better to have them waiting outside after you investigated, so you hear about how lovely and scary they are and you get some time to say "boy I hope I don't meet those guys" before you immediately do. I always felt like the factions wanted you because you had (or at least, they thought you had) the chip, and therefore access to House and everything that comes with. As the game stands the NCR/Legion stuff isn't nearly as fleshed out as House, and Independent just works, so those are the only two endings I ever played for.

In Training posted:As a general question to the thread, what game were you best at? It doesn't need to be like professional level play or being a speedrunner, but everyone's had their obsessions throughout gaming. What game absorbed your time and you wanted to master in your own way? Dota 1, but I'm pretty bad now. Just can't keep up with the meta and all my friends stopped playing, and playing with randos is pretty infuriating. I watch the ~pro dota~ player interviews and that was basically me, but I never really played outside of pub games. Also Dark Souls 1, I 100%'d it but was at like ng+7 by the time I got every achievement and that poo poo was tough. DkS2 didn't grab me at all, I haven't finished Dks3 but Bloodborne is consuming all of my time now. I'm trying to hold off on Nioh until it goes on sale at this point.

Battletoads and a lot of the other crazy hard NES/Genesis/SNES games blow my mind because imagine trying to make a $60 AAA game that literally millions of dollars went into like that now where you have a stage that's practically unbeatable. It's funny how many old games I never actually beat growing up because they didn't have saves or anything like that. e: I mean I guess Dark Souls is a thing but that's not really comparable to some of the stuff from Battletoads in my eyes suuma fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Feb 20, 2017 |

UC4 was fine, but I don't know that anybody picked it up expecting it to be the game of the decade or anything. As far as invoking feelings from the previous games, I played UC2 in like 2010 and UC3 in 2012 and I forgot who Elena was while playing UC4.

Nate RFB posted:Berserk is a dark fantasy comic that has been in serialization for close to 30 years. While popular, it rather infamously went on a bunch of hiatuses in recent years that resulted in what was initially thought to be a short little arc (the characters got on a boat to go to their main destination) which wound up getting stretched across 10+ years real time. Haha that's awesome.

Shadow of Mordor was really fun when you started but after about 3-4 hours you were insanely overpowered and the only thing that could really kill you was like 4 captains showing up at once.
