The original Deus Ex is a bad game. Human Revolution, however, is a marked improvement in every way.

In the long run, it's actually worse that they "fixed" Diablo 3 into a passable game instead of just learning from their mistakes and focusing on making a truly good Diablo 4.

The Skeleton King posted:Overwatch is trash that looks like a bunch of DreamWorks rejects, like all of Blizzard's lovely character designs. The game is a mediocre team shooter that only succeeded due to a lack of strong competition at the time and Blizzard's fanboys, and is really only good for pornography, as proven by pornhub's reports. this thread is for opinions, not blatant facts

Blurry Gray Thing posted:I'm not really an RTS multiplayer expert, so I can't tell the difference, but I thought people didn't really like the multiplayer either. Something something bad balance something something first Starcraft is still better. I don't really know, but if that's true that just makes it a bad game with no redeeming qualities. So, Starcraft 2 massively improved the pathing and UI from Brood War, but it turns out this ruins Brood War. BW has the curious property that, due to stupid unit AI, there is a nearly infinite amount of actions you could take that change the way a battle plays out. In SC2, everything works so smoothly and predictably that every battle feels exactly the same, just two giant lumps of poo poo running at each other. BW battles are interesting and memorable specifically because they're such a tangled mess.

Agreed that crafting is bad. In fact it is so bad that it makes me unwilling to ever play Witcher 3 again, or to buy its expansions regardless of whether they're otherwise good. I could not be more sick of combining moose turds and dwarven paperclips to make a fecal morningstar

SeXReX posted:3d scanned models and mocap animations are the laziest ways to create art assets you're right, but good animation is apparently really hard to do and most companies suck at it, so mo-cap is a good alternative. Even good animators tend to massively overdo the "resting motion" stuff, where even an idle character has to shrug their shoulders and shift their weight twenty times a minute like they just did a bump of coke before getting in line at the bank

Megaman 2 has a lot of bad level design. "Here's a mostly flat corridor. The same rabbit jumps out at you four times. Okay, that's all the ideas we had." "Now climb this ladder for two minutes while birds gently caress you up"

Everyone who dismisses Starcraft's strategy is actually thinking, "Uh, clearly this isn't a strategy game because then I would be winning, since I am of course a natural strategic genius"

It is stressful though. Even when it's fun. You put in a lot of fast activity and complete focus for ~20 minutes and then lose half the time.

A build order isn't some magical password you're forced to input, it's just an initial plan. You know... your strategy. For the strategy game.

SpaceClown posted:the fact that there is an optimal "initial plan" thats more than the opening moves to the game is exactly why starcraft is a pathetic strategy game. That's exactly what it is, though - the opening moves. The plan goes off the rails as soon as someone does something unexpected.

The Lost and Damned has one of the best-written stories in a video game, oddly enough. It's a retelling of Peter Pan in the context of a murderous meth biker gang, with nuanced themes of maturity, responsibility, and acceptance of aging. Gay Tony had good characters, but didn't really go anywhere, and was comparatively completely unambitious.

I also think the motorcycles are just more fun to drive, but YMMV.

GTA4's driving controls were actually great, it's just that it handled like a driving sim, not an arcade game, which was totally alienating for a lot of players. You're not supposed to floor the gas everywhere. So, keyboards are out.

Randomized dungeons are the best feature, and it's not worth playing an ARPG without them. Looking at you, Titan Quest. Even on your first playthrough, the "hand-crafted" maps in TQ are dreary and predictable compared to even a mediocre randomizer.

Jeza posted:I highly recommend seeking out Sacrifice. It was a criminally underrated game (although received well critically iirc) at the time and failed to sell. But it was pretty pioneering in terms of aesthetics, gameplay and design, as well as graphically (for 2000). Even since then there's never really been a game like it that I can think of, especially with how the campaign narrative is played out. Also it has Tim Curry in it. Sacrifice was such an awesome game. You could do crazy poo poo like casting a spell that creates a full-size erupting volcano, or cuts the earth away entirely, permanently changing the map. The writing and voice acting was fantastic. It had humor and pathos and an interesting story, and cool psychedelic art, and a lot of strategic depth. Why are really good things seldom popular?
