I bought Anthem and so far it's been pretty fun. You get to fly around like Ironman with 3 other assholes in a giant waterfall jungle. Not sure why everyone is so bent out of shape over this game.

Away all Goats posted:Probably because the game is so well made the starting rifle is the best weapon in the game Yeah I mean if you are one of those OCD types who likes to grind for the best items and scrutinize your damage output, this game will probably drive you crazy. The UI doesn't even give you consolidated character sheet that shows you all of your stats in one place. Approaching this game with a WoW mindset is futile. If you just want to fly around in an exosuit with a jetpack and wreck a bunch of smugglers with friends (or strangers) then it's great.

I was fine with the punishment for death in Hollow Knight. The thing that made me drop it was how I had to spend the majority of my time searching around the whole map for the one little door that leads to where I'm supposed to go next. I would run to one corner of the map only to be reminded that the little unexplored notch was a place I still can't go because I don't have double jump or whatever, so I'd run all the way to another corner, rinse, repeat. To make this even worse, you don't even get an auto generated map of the new places you explore until you find the map guy. It all made the game feel really tedious.

Time_pants posted:Can someone please expound upon this? It sounds hilarious. It's been a long time, but off the top of my head it worked like this. Up to a certain point, depending on item rarity, you could upgrade something without any risk. IIRC common items went up to +7, uncommon +6, rare +5 (it wasn't really "rarity"; but for simplicity's sake let's call it that). After that point, adding another +1 would carry a risk of failure, where you'd completely lose the item along with the upgrade materials. Not only that, but with each progressive upgrade level past the safe point, the next failure risk would get even higher. Started at 60% success, then 40%, then like 18%, etc. So even though the upgraded stats progressed linearly (i.e. the difference between +3 and +4 was the same as the difference between +9 and +10) the chances of getting a weapon to a particular upgrade level progressed logarithmically. It was kind of cool because a blacksmith could make money by buying a few hundred generic weapons from the shop and just attempting to upgrade them all to max level. In bulk you could calculate what your average yield will be and sometimes it would be worth it as long as at least 0.8% of them successfully make it to +10. The hilarious part was when someone bought a super expensive weapon right at the max safe level and decided to roll the dice by getting it just *one* level higher, into the risky zone. They find a famous blacksmith in town, make sure he has all his buffs (luck and dex helped), a small crowd gathers because this is some serious poo poo... and then it breaks in front of everyone. The crowd laughs, and the customer and blacksmith have a stupid argument about stats and probability.

tango alpha delta posted:You are correct because Composite Cables only have three connections for Video, Left Audio and Right Audio, but that washed out picture of Assassins Creed DOES look like a defective 5 connector RGB YPbPr Component Cable problem. If it were a photograph of the TV screen then sure, this could be the issue. But this is pretty clearly a screenshot of the game, which is processed at the software level before it's sent to the display. The game just looks like this, at least in this moment, regardless of what kind of cable you're using. That said, it was cherry picked to make the game look bad. Other scenes in the game are very colorful.

I'm suddenly reminded of the notorious Brady Games Official FFXI (that's XI, not IX) Strategy Guide. Not only was the information it contained already largely out of date by the time the game was released in NA (and destined to only grow more so, what with the game being an MMO that receives a constant flow up updates, balance changes, and expansions), but a lot of it wasn't even correct at the time it was written. Most MMOs can't be fully played/experienced without a huge time investment, and FFXI was a particularly demanding game in this regard. Thus there was no possible way the guide could have been written from a place of real experience, so it presented players with hilariously noobish advice, which ended up creating a scourge of new players who proudly used Red Mage as their subjob for Monk and then argued about it with people who tried to tell them that there were much more effective options. "Brady Games noob" eventually became used as a pejorative by the community.

This is why Baldur's Gate worked so well. You controlled the entire party, so it was perfectly fine that the fighter was just set to auto attack the whole time. And if you had multiple spellcasters the realtime+pause system let you administer commands with as much nuance as you needed. e: But yeah this all falls apart if you try to play these games in multiplayer mode, with each person controlling a different character.

The only time I got irked about someone using the wrong type of controller was when my friend reluctantly decided to give Dark Souls a try. Knowing he's a KB+M player, I told him the game is really better played with a controller, but he insisted so I was like ok whatever. Next time I spoke with him he told me he only spent about 30 minutes on the game before giving up on it because "the controls sucked." Motherfucker.

It was the original PC port, which... yeah had some issues. That said, DSfix or whatever was available at the time, and that took care of most of the major problems (like not being able to set the resolution to anything greater than 720p lol).

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Trackball emulation mode was the default and most popular setting on the steam controller's touchpad. You could set it spinning and take your fingers off and it would keep going, and it even had haptic feedback where it would kinda "click" as the imaginary trackball rotated so you could feel how it was moving. Yep! In Dark Souls you could use the track pad to flick the camera around way faster than you could move it with an analog stick. Made it really useful for pulling off bullshit in pvp.

Hey guys I've got a great idea let's take an RTS but make it so you can only control one unit, oh and also remove all of the macro and base building and replace that with an intense focus on details regarding upgrades that you can only begin to guess at after reading 11 wiki articles

Dawn of War, Age of Empires, Populous, and I'd say even Command and Conquer are examples of RTS series that have easier barriers of entry than DOTA or LoL.
