What is important is that no one has mentioned Hark, A Vagrant! and we should all feel a little bad about that. Although Beaton's stuff is also in legit printed format so she's not "just" a webcomic anymore!

Where my 1812 shooters at? Burning down The White House would be really cathartic these days.

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? With trophies and collectibles and completion rates and higher difficulty levels always staring me in the face it's tough to say I've "mastered" any game in a long time. I was pretty rad at Super Double Dragon, though!

corn in the bible posted:i've played link to the past many times because its the only perfect videogame Hm forgot about the L.T.T.P. Might have to change my answer to that. One thing that always seemed genius but strange about that game is the handling of the Master Sword. When I was younger and first playing it I was taken aback at how that sword was given the whole mystical perfect weapon Narsil Excalibur treatment but it's only the 2nd of 4 swords you get (the latter two being upgrades but still).

precision posted:Well true. I'm just saying, if you had asked me 20 years ago I would have thought that by now LASIK would be something you could get done in an afternoon for $50. The technology is getting better. What you're probably thinking of as LASIK has become much cheaper but it's also been surpassed. It's the new processes that are less invasive, faster healing, have fewer potential side effects, are available to a wider patient base, etc. that are more expensive. You can drop several G's per eye if you want the good poo poo or have eyeballs shaped like beanbag chairs.

In Training posted:To me all credibility flew out the window when the movie presented Doom 3 as a good game I took this as a necessary evil so that he could get the people to talk to him. Might be harder if he was like "so that game before was a turd, eh? how'd you wipe away that poo poo stain and pull up your pants to make the next one?"

exquisite tea posted:If the best thing you can say about the combat in an RPG is "I can program my party members to play the game by themselves" then you need some better combat, imho. I don't know if this was the best thing that could be said about those games' combat systems but you raise a good point. Though I think the appeal of the programmability, while it implies a certain level of predictability in combat, was that you could fine-tune your allies' behaviour rather than relying on good AI or having to micro manage them. I definitely wish we had some IF logic for mates in Mass Effect for that reason.

I only really notice frame rates when I'm switching between games. Normally I play just one game and when I'm done with it I move on to something else but lately I've been splitting my time between Hitman and Doom and I never noticed Hitman's frame rate until after I started Doom. But while I notice, I don't really care.

Harrow posted:What I wanted from a game where weapon durability is something I have to care about is to need to be a versatile scavenger. I don't mind having to frequently replace my weapons if everything about the game lets me treat those weapons as disposable. And in Breath of the Wild, that's what it looks like they're doing: weapons are easy to find, you don't have a build that pushes you toward any particular weapon type or another, and you don't invest upgrade materials or resources into any specific weapon. You use what you find and throw it away when you're done. I like that. The weapon durability could be an easier pill to swallow if there was some kind of basic weapon you could always rely on but then I suppose people would rely on it and complain that the character was so weak or the difficulty was too high. I respect their attempt at doing it and agree with you that if the system is built around constant looting and scavenging then it could be pretty cool. I wonder about the sense of "progression" if you're constantly relegated to using Deku Sticks or are always on the verge.

Harrow posted:Yeah, that's the other thing. I think weapon-related progression is probably just going to have to come down to stronger enemies having stronger weapons, so you're using stronger weapons as you go. Be kind of cool if the Master Sword had some Kirby-esque or Darksiders II capability of absorbing other weapons.
