I can't tell how near I am to the end of Horizon, it looks like there's a point of no return coming up but there's been a fake PONR before and a ton of hidden achievements still remaining, plus I keep discovering sidequests in new places.

exquisite tea posted:It took me about 62 hours to clear Horizon for the first time doing almost everything. I don't know if that includes the 2 hours I spent dying to the Stormbird in Pitchcliff on very hard before I even got to Meridian. I never found the play clock but that sounds about right. I've been playing solidly since release.

Jay Rust posted:Out of curiosity, what is everyone's approximate game completion percentage, i.e. how often do you finish a game you start? (I guess being "finished" with a game is also pretty subjective and often dependant on what kind of game it is, but I dunno, make something up) Virtually 100%, largely because I tend to stick to one campaign at a time. Especially in this generation with suspend and resume, when I hit New Game on something that something isn't leaving the console until the credits roll.

Regy Rusty posted:There were two different special Gamecube Zelda discs yeah. One was the collection of Zelda 1, 2, OOT, and MM (and a windwaker demo). The other was Master Quest. I dunno what the conditions were for getting each of them since I just bought the former from some kid on my block so I could finally play all the stuff on it besides OOT. The former was either a Wind Waker preorder bonus, or getting amazingly lucky and spotting it on a GameStop used rack (  )

Someone (rope kid maybe?) once posted in YCS a good rant about how the term RPG is a totally inaccurate label for what you actually do in those games and how we should make up a new label for character evolution games and apply the "role-playing" label to wide-open freeform sandboxes like Hitman. Always kinda regretted not saving it somewhere.

Help Im Alive posted:Is Destiny good It's one of those games that starts out clumsily but if it gets its hooks in you'll never put it down. They keep denying it's an MMO but it's very much like them in that respect. As an RPG it's kinda crap, there is effectively no campaign structure (just a series of missions you play in order and loot collection processes that unfold over days or weeks) and skimpy customization/character building. Some of this is due to the weird hybrid of RPG, competitive FPS, and ritualized MMO repetition and some of it is just bad execution. The expansions greatly improve on this if you decide to stay in for the long haul. The main thing it has going for it is that the raw shooting is the best console FPS experience around, period. It's the latest evolution of control scheme, feel, and rhythm that Bungie has been working on for 15 years and everything about aiming, shooting, moving, etc is more or less perfect.

Oh and also there are the raids, which require a big upfront commitment of not only building a character but also marshaling 6 friends or internet randos - no matchmaking - but once you get in them are sort of collective real-time puzzle solving and choreography challenges which no other FPS has anything remotely approaching and make all the rest of the game worthwhile (subjectively, for a lot of people).

I don't think it's a coincidence that the games that tend to be cited as having the best writing either have awful gameplay (Planescape) or have writing and gameplay largely segregated (MGS).

I've never fully bought that story about it taking eight hours to move a bush, it's just too crazy and doesn't match other stories and personal experience. tap my mountain posted:Destiny could be really good, but nobody knows how to design a fps raid boss correctly because it's still a niche that's in its infancy. They can't just toss in a bunch of WoW boss mechanics because the players have to be able to manually aim at the boss to deal damage. Yeah, that's the other thing- a lot of the game was experimental and experiments don't always work out. They've been gradually learning how to design for the game's structure over the past 2.5 years and they've finally gotten to a pretty good place. Compared to launch, the loot treadmill and menu of activities and variety in general has been advanced light years. Clearing the board and starting over on a better tech foundation, with all that experience, and with the studio reorganized to deliver the steady drip-feed of content, should be something worth looking forward to.

bloodychill posted:Original Halo was going to be an RTS in the Marathon universe I think. But that was way before WC3 or WoW even came out. Halo MMO came about way later. Yeah, Halo began as an RTS in the late 90s and slowly became a 3rd person shooter and then an FPS and then a console FPS in 2001. The MMO was a separate project Microsoft had a different studio work on.

In one MGR boss monologue cutscene you can push the analog stick to tilt the camera a little and see that just out of frame is a guard petting a kitty  As for Automata, I'm only halfway through route B but the robot death cult near the end of route A is the highlight so far.

Being super spoiler paranoid is bad, spoiling stuff just to be a dick is bad, but claiming that work A spoils work B which was released years later and wasn't even being envisioned contemporaneously with work A is just crazy.
