Barudak posted:I love Max Payne 3's load bearing cutscenes that have hard coded points where you are allowed to skip even if the game long ago finished loading The game runs fine at 60 fps but the cutscenes are at 30 and graphically they look the same. I didn't even realize they were cutscenes, I just thought oh man this section I guess is super resource heavy because the framerate just took a massive hit

Disco Pope posted:Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing Transformed was really fun, but only cops played as Sonic and pals in that. I haven't play a Mario Kart since Double Dash so I'm probably wrong, but this was the best kart racer I'd ever played and I still consistently play it. At around 6 AM Pacific time you can usually still manage to go online and find a filled out race to jump into! Good luck at any other time of day though

I am pretty good at video games, but am very, very bad at Dark Souls. I've tried it, I just can't get better at it. I don't want to play an "easy" version of Dark Souls; I want to experience what other people do. I feel like there's a barrier I can't cross, so I'll have to just enjoy it vicariously or something.Khanstant posted:Battletoads is way more bullshit than Dark Souls anywau There's no single enemy that is tough to beat in Battletoads; all the difficulty is just environmental timing stuff. I can (almost) beat Battletoads. I can't get anywhere in Dark Souls

OoT had lovely combat but it was because it was on the N64 and 3D was new and we didn't understand how to make it good, yet. Every subsequent Zelda has had lovely combat (perhaps not Breath of the Wild; I haven't played it) because we're real nostalgic for that N64 jank.

I recently played A Plague Tale: Amnesia, which does one of those things where it ends, then you see the credits for a little bit and then you see the real ending. It's not like a stinger; it's a proper epilogue. But what amuses me, is that I see that by looking at the global achievement percentages 44% of players beat the game, but only 42.9% got the final achievement, which means that a lot of players just turned the game off as soon as the first credits roll happened, which makes for a hilariously disappointing ending to the game.

Halo stalled the progress of video games for like six fuckin years It was so fuckin successful that it made it so anything new and exciting for PC had to also be playable on the stupid XBox. Which meant it had to appeal to XBox kids and also had to suck graphics-wise. We didn't get good PC games again until at least the 360 generation or whatever was dying. gently caress you XBox Also we could have gotten the proper RTS Halo instead Could have more Myths They took Bungie from us credburn fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Nov 23, 2023 |

The XBox 3 is called the XBox 1  My ex girlfriend made a good argument about the benefit of consoles over PCs: "They just work. I turn it on and I can play." Getting some things to work over the Steam link, AND it being able to sync with all the controls was sometimes a hassle.

Nice Van My Man posted:No, you gotta grab the Zweihander. DS1 is the Zweihander game. It pancakes every enemy and you can grab it out of the graveyard at the start. That sword confused me so much. Like, what do I DO with it? It's so much more powerful than my starter weapon. Or the next one I got. Or the next one. Or the next one. I quit playing a long time ago, but I always wanted to ask someone about it: is the sword supposed to be a joke? Are you meant to get it that early and use it? Do you get better with it later on? What's the deal with the Zweihander? I pretty much just used that weapon until I absolutely had enough of the game.

Yeah 2D GTA combat was really the pinnacle of execution tank rear end controls Devils Affricate posted:All I remember about GTA5's combat was that when you pressed the aim button it made your guy automatically aim directly at the enemy's head, so all you had to do was press aim and then shoot, in rapid succession. I think aiming was L1 and shooting was R1. So like 5 enemies show up, combat consists of pressing L1, then R1, 5 times. As a hardcore PC gamer this was very offensive to me. I played GTAV on console and the aim thing was there, it made aiming with a controller easy I guess, but I wondered if it was still that was on PC. Surely you could disable it? I don't know if you could on console, I didn't check because I hate aiming with a controller tank rear end controls

WILDTURKEY101 posted:been playing Arx Fatalis and i'm realizing it's been a while since we've had any good new eurojank. Kingdom Come is the last one I can think of. I just started Elex II. There's a part in the beginning where it trains you to be stealthy, which I was, and avoided all the enemies, but I think maybe you're supposed to fail it? As soon as I walked a little onward a cutscene started where I was running from enemies. Oh Piranha Bytes, you make the same janky game again and again and I love each iteration of it.

Elex II in all its incredible jank feels so much more authored than Bethesda's output. Yeah it kind of looks like garbage, but it feels like every section of the game was at least worked on by a human, and not just algorithms and procgen bots edit: not to say every part of even any part of Bethesda's games are entirely made by procgen, but it sure feels that way. Aside from really specific sets, Bethesda games feel generated.

UVO: I don't want to see what other people paid money to cosmetically enhance their characters with. I want to see what they're wearing, not what "illusion" lets them dress up in silly outfits. If I'm in an online world, I want to see every piece of their armor as it is, I want to see their weapons as it is. Don't like none of this cosmetic nonsense. Ruins the immersion.

I spent a few years with my ex building together a Rock Band 3 setup with the sole purpose of recreating the joy I had in the 2000s. It culminated when her friend Chad gave me his Rock Band instruments and then I spent a ton of dough on Rock Back 3 DLC and was finally ready to revisit my youth from the 2000s but then my ex left me for Chad and took the Rock Band setup and now I have nothing

I've observed that unlike a lot of other massively popular franchises, Dark Souls fans tend to be pretty open to criticism about their game. They'll often admit openly that these are flawed games, that they're not for everybody, that it's okay to not like a Dark Souls game.
