hamtaro posted:Bioshock original was a System Shock spiritual successor (RPG shooter in maze-like rooms with puzzles and a high-tech, isolated feel). It also came with a (at the time unique) weapon upgrade system and political commentary on liberterianism and objectivism. It hasn't aged great, but it's still a good game. You got an ending that asked questions about player agency in a way that AAA games tend not to do. The sequel was solid as well, being slightly superior in gameplay and slightly inferior in story. The games haven't aged great, but they're still good. No, everyone hates it these days, and weirdly it also turns out they always hated it even though it was very popular at the time, poss bc of quantum time magic. It had a black character who turned out to be unpleasant which some people thought made it a very bad game. I think it was a decent to good shooter with amazing set design and a clever premise, but didnt quite cash its cheques in terms of fight design and the alternate world powers. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 10:02 on May 27, 2017 |

I thought the gameplay in spec ops was fine: miles better than say Bioshock 1. it felt good to shoot the mans, your dude moved round the place well and the guns sounded good.

VideoTapir posted:Penny Arcade is occasionally great; but is so insufferable the rest of the time that it isn't worth following to get to the good ones. I like pennyarcade but I'd agree with this, I catch up every week or two and normally get a couple of faint smiles. I like their first fifteen vids though.

Pocket Billiards posted:I loved DOS 1 generally. But there was a bit to much trial and error in terms of where you had to go. I.e. walk north and enemies were too high level, so reload and try west and so on. that was all the trial and error, wasn't it?

The Dennis System posted:The problem with Oblivion and Skyrim is that the enemies scale to your level, so what's the point of leveling up or getting a more powerful weapon? Oblivion scales stupidly, but Skyrim just notices when you first enter a zone and scales the mobs in it to a range around that. So they'll level up with you to an extent, but if you first went there at level 3 they'll never get over level 10 (say). In practice it's fine, scaling isn't a problem.

I also got HR years after release in a cheap sale so it was extra dated by then. Idk, its clunky as poo poo in basically every way you can imagine and looked crappy even at release but theres something about the ambition of it that is super charming. Its legit good.

Dyna Soar posted:Baldurs gate 1 adheres to a different design philosophy than most rpg’s, certainly most rpg’s that came after it. Its a true sandbox in that the PC is not the center if the world. I like it, but its certainly not for everyone. The combat is somewhat clumsy, but it was basically a glorified tech demo for baldurs gate 2, where the designers realised what they actually had on their hands: the greatest turn based mage battle simulator ever. In BG1, the secret to combat was crowd control and ranged weapons. In BG2, its pure mage chess. You have to know what your enemy is casting and counter it with your own casters. Its convoluted, deep and sometimes unfair but its unlike any game ive played and after close to 20 years im still playing it, and its not even a multiplayer game. People always say that but iirc i just blundered through turning people into sashimi with my skald and fireballing every motherfucker
