Snak posted:There is no mission to the Andromeda Galaxy. It's all fake. You are cast as the captain in a secret project to fake a mission. Hilarity ensues. This was literally the plot of a miniseries on Syfy a couple of years ago (except the captain didn't know either).

The 2DS is 100% compatible, all you miss out on is the 3D effect. I'm never a fan of buying a console for one game, but $100 is pretty good and that's the game that's been most commonly cited as the GOAT for almost two decades so it's probably worth it.

According to reviews there is effectively zero gear gating (outside the brief intro area) and everything including the final boss is in theory beatable with no further unlocks once you reach the full world. Activity rewards make this easier or less dependent on luck or enable alternate solutions but you can always power through with the basics.

The best moment in the GB video is when they get chased around by a skeleton while a laser turret is also shooting at them and eventually, after five minutes of frantic juking around, get the turret to blow up the skeleton.

Harrow posted:I really never understand why games so rarely let you totally remap controls. I think I'd end up putting sprint on R and throw weapon on X or something. Holding down R to run while I turn the camera would be a lot easier, and also way easier to sprint jump. Mostly because it has nonzero QA and engineering costs. Someone has to implement the control changing screen and then verify that no possible combination of controls breaks any part of the game or renders it unbeatable (if, for example, you bind buttons in such a way that two commands the game expects you to issue simultaneously are now mutually exclusive). Plus, if the designers did their job right the game will be using the best possible layout for its gameplay in the first place.

precision posted:hey remember like 3 hours ago when i was all overhyping the poo poo out of Horizon? Yeah, I keep spending hours doing side stuff while every advancement of the main story unlocks huge new chunks of the game. I also wandered around looking at stuff before heading in for the Proving, and then wandered around hunting low-level robodinos before heading west. Then I finally go there and holy crap it unlocked 2/3 of the world map there's desert/steppe environments and giant birds flying around and places to stand where you can see for miles and and and Definitely echo the complaints about the intro though, too much stuff that's totally unlike the main game.

You'd think a robot would be less interested in Aloy running around a few dozen yards away than in the hacked predator in its face ripping it to pieces, but welp.

I haven't beaten the game yet but I'm not sure the story would work with a male protagonist, the beats directly relating to the player character seem to be mostly about mothers and matriarchy. vvvvvv I blame that more on the choice being obscured. You can go into the weeds and pick your gender, eye color, facial tattoos, etc or you can mash the big PLAY NOW button and get stock manshep. If the game insisted you make the choice and wouldn't proceed until you were explicit, the numbers would probably be more balanced. haveblue fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 6, 2017 |

Seriously though I would love to be able to give orders to overridden robots. If it's not ridable all it will do is not attack you and kiting them around is hard. Unless there's something that unlocks later.

Bosses you have to put some work into enabling chipping away at their health bar are OK, bosses whose vulnerability periods are under the game's control and unpredictable are bad.

Horizon has a basic jump button but much simpler traversal than the average these days. Zelda is most definitely more about exploration and making that exploration a challenge in its own right, Horizon would rather be about combat and the experience of travel.

MinibarMatchman posted:I heard it was some brilliant ending? I hated Limbo, it bored me to loving tears and Inside looked more of the same from the demo The end sequence is, to say the least, very unlike the rest of the game. Skipping it was probably a good call since Inside is all about the same formula of physics puzzles plus an atmosphere of quiet, creeping dread (until that ending).

I do like how Horizon has a clear pattern of most of the game being full of mysterious tantalizing hints as a background to whatever sidequest tangent you're on but every mission in the main questline being a guaranteed source for giant lore dumps that spell everything out.

Kai Tave posted:Streaming games seems like you'd run into lag or performance issues especially with more resource-intensive ones, how does it work in practice? It's just a video stream, it shouldn't lag any more or less than games for older platforms. How much work the console is doing isn't really a factor.
