Everyone's personas are great.

I will concede that the ultimate ones look less cool but Ryuji screaming "SEITEN TAISEI" at the top of his lungs is pretty great.

I got a bunch of Nowinstock alerts earlier this week, probably to coincide with Mario Kart. They all went out of stock again pretty quickly though

so can I just not do every side quest in NieR: Automata, or is this the kind of game that will withhold story content if j don't have x done? there are too many dots on my minimap

I will get a switch in a year or two when it has more games and next Mario. The launch seemed a bit half-baked and I already have a WiiU.

You don't have to do any apart from the two in the resistance camp that count as main story missions. You'll miss out on some weapons and interesting character/world stuff though.
If you do decide to do some, progress through the story until you get fast travel first.

The only time I ever got close was the first time I was fighting it. I didn't know it was a multi-stage fight. All my weapons were down. My only capable fighter had boarded it and he tore it apart from the inside and died in the process. Then phase 2 came back and my scientist just sat on my ship and died.

Thinking back on it, Stubbs the Zombie was way ahead of its time because it too was a game about an anachronistic sci-fi utopia being destroyed by an outside supernatural force. Only instead of lighthouses and Big Daddies it was barbershop quartets with rayguns and dance-offs against police chiefs.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

From now on they will simply be called "games," and every other genre not really a game, more like a walking sim with weapons.

Does anyone else feel absolutely bored with open world games? I put about 40 hours into BOTW but got bored with it and haven't played it since. The last two games I played where I didn't feel bored out of my skull was Odin's Sphere for PS4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC which aren't open world games. I'm beginning to wonder if Oblivion and Skyrim ruined other open world games for me because I played those games to absolute death and finally got bored with them a few years back but now I'm just meh towards other open world games.

I have at times felt bored with open world games but then I just played BOTW and Horizon which were two of the best I've ever played and both gripped me from beginning to end so there's still an appeal when it's done well.

Wait you actually played Sniper Ghost Warrior? Jesus Christ Why?

CJacobs posted:

Isn't Sniper Ghost Warrior just the Great Value brand Sniper Elite

YES. I'm convinced Sniper Ghost Warrior sells only because people get the name confused with Sniper Elite. Like, its a game called Sniper, so it must be a good FPS right?

Sniper Ghost Warrior 1 & 2 were hilariously unbelievably terribad. Its a game that exists as a con to get people's grandmas to buy it for them on accident.

Nasgate posted:

Honestly at this point, having never played either I could not tell you the difference other than one loves slowmo xray shots and I think the other is made by slavs?

They look to have almost the same gameplay and graphical style.

Sniper Ghost Warrior is as linear and scripted as FPS get, "go here, shoot this guy, go here, shoot that guy" and there's no real sniping from long ranges. Its so stupid.

Sniper Elite 1 was a great sandbox sniper game with slowmo. Sniper Elite 2 and 3 have better graphics but the levels are much more linear. Still, they're proper games with actual stuff you can do and fun to be had, unlike Ghost Warrior which suuuuucks.
