I'm still spending plenty of time playing games, but mostly old ones like Deus Ex, some Metal Gear Solids and most recently Baldur's Gate. I can't participate in the jokes and goofs in these threads anymore I feel like this thread talks about Metal Gear every week, I know I'm always happy to. My September will consist of Mario+Rabbids, finishing Zelda  and Splatoon, until the last week of September when I will binge on all the PS4 games I missed this summer. Also I need to sell my PS4 copy of FFXV so I can get the PC 170 GB edition

Sakurazuka posted:Bioshock 2 is the best one Yeah, I definitely enjoyed playing that one the most just in terms of combat. Minerva's Den also seemed to have the best storytelling though I only engaged with that secondhand through video

Actually I don't want to be the bearer of fake news. July and August were actually renamed from "fifth month" and "sixth month", respectively, instead of pushing September back as I had previously thought. This poster regrets the error.

I dropped out of playing DA:I about six or seven hours in to start Witcher 3. I feel like I made a good decision, and I still haven't done Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine yet

Onboarding is great for a single player mode and that should be one of its main goals, as a tool to slowly teach people who may be new to the game mechanics in a controlled environment where they can learn at their own pace and they can start with the simplest options and add onto them piece by piece. But if you have a competitive multiplayer mode, everything non-cosmetic in that mode should be available to the player from moment one

raditts posted:You unlock everything you need in Splatoon by level 10, which you can reach in like an hour of play, because while the single player mode is like an extended tutorial, it's reasonable to assume that most people will never play the single player mode in a multiplayer shooter. According to my Switch, I have more than fifteen hours of time in Splatoon 2, probably more than ten hours in multiplayer. I am still level 9 and don't have enough coins to buy all the weapons and gear, let alone that there are weapons that I need about 15 more levels for. Like even if 80% of the possibility space for loadouts is available to players almost off the bat, that 20% is still a problem. Even if it doesn't offer significant advantages, it still means that people who have dumped more hours into a game get to have more choices, which in a competitive setting is slightly lame. chumbler posted:Then why not 100% at 0 minutes? It is a totally pointless gate.  raditts posted:Why are people acting like progress based unlocks are some kind of new thing that is totally ~* ruinin vidgams *~ and not something that has been a common aspect of games for almost two decades now I don't think they are new, I think they have been totally ~* ruinin vidgams *~ for almost two decades now!

raditts posted:Wow, I have no idea how this is possible but okay. It takes 78,300 XP to get to level 10. I have only been playing Turf War so maybe ranked mode is a whole other thing. But wins in Turf War give you a max of 1400 XP. So even if you were amazing enough to win every single game and matchmake at maximum speed so you were getting ten wins every hour, it would still take you more than five hours to go from 1 to 10

Played a couple hours of the Splatfest and finally got from level 9 to level 10. And just to show that this leveling is not because I'm somehow the worst player in the world, this is the game that put me over. Still really fun! Think I'll try to get to Flight Champion before it's over

I am not going to rag on someone for being slow to pick up on a tutorial, the learning process is different for everyone. I will say that you'd think someone who plays games for a living would have a more robust skillset to draw from, but eh. I am getting tired of this kind of anti-comedy entertainment that's in vogue about "Watch how bad we are at video games," the majority of Giant Bomb's series this year are basically that and it's somewhat hollow at this point Help Im Alive posted:I think it was originally a boss rush game but people got mad so they made...that Wasn't Furi relatively well-received?

I mean, calling that his video game Vietnam was rather apropos, considering it was a debacle based on a complete misunderstanding of the situation on the ground due to willful blindness and made him look arrogant and foolish in the eyes of the world

It is difficult to remember that RE7 is actually a 2017 game and still in consideration for this year's GOTY lists. There have been so many good games and so much bad poo poo that it feels like RE7 came out two years ago

This is the best paragraph of games writing I've encountered this year "Worst of all is Knack himself: a lumpen thug of a hero at one end of the scale and a scamperer through endless ductwork at the other. His shrinking rarely leads to memorable puzzles, just as his ability to grow over the course of a level rarely adds a genuine sense of Katamari-ish momentum to proceedings. This loveable children's hero spends quite a lot of his time smacking around people who are much smaller than him, and to compound things, he seems to have been based on that famously loveable children's favourite Ganon, the murderous uber-monster and nightmare creature from the Zelda games. I remember reading once that good children's character design acknowledges the awesome power of the humble circle, Mickey Mouse being the prime example. Knack is spiky and angular and forgettable. I doubt that there is much in the way of a Knack cosplay community, and not just because it would be so uncomfortable to sit down in character."

Life is Strange feels like a story that will land the best if you're playing it with other people or watching other people play it. Going through it solo and without having "vaped some dank OG bud" is probably a setup for a bad time
