I feel like video games have outpaced me and my financial situation. Last console I owned was a PlayStation 2, and now my gaming PC has almost-ten-year-old parts that probably need replacing. I tried Mankind Divided, but my computer can't handle it, making the fans sound like an airplane engine and subsequently crashing every ten minutes. I can't really justify spending money on games right now, so I've not been paying much attention to gaming news over the past few months, which in turn means that I'm out of the gamer loop and feel a little alienated. 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

The opening cinematic and the item descriptions are the only objective storytellers in the game, and even then only the former gives you any information about the greater context, and you don't even realize it the first time you watch it! Everything else is obfuscated by half-relevant NPC dialogue, leading to that foggy sense of direction the series is known for

In Training posted:So was Tacoma cool? I feel like nobody's talking about that game in the slightest. And I before you ask I like Walking Sims so I'm just curious about why this one came and went I've been avoiding reading about it, but all I've heard is that it just isn't as interesting as Gone Home. I'll personally grab it on sale

What made Super Metroid so good was that it knew when to shut the gently caress up and let you play

I love doing it. Bosses are the least fun part of the games for me, you guys are engaging in the "This is the right way to play" we were all just complaining about

CJacobs posted:"The right way to play" and "the intended way to play" are pretty different. There is no objectively correct way to play, but I can say with relative confidence that you are not meant to steamroll your way through your first blind playthrough with bodyguards who already know what they're doing. How do you figure what the intended way to play is? They don't gate summons behind deaths.

CJacobs posted:It's sorta common sense? Summoning is basically a way to choose your difficulty, and the default is not having any or even having the ability to summon. You don't start as human or with the white soapstones in any of the souls games (or Demon's Souls), save for 2 where becoming human is part of the tutorial. It's trivially easy to become human, in fact in 3 you become human whenever you beat a boss. The soapstones aren't ever hidden, and aren't even necessary to summon. It's not some secret mechanic, reserved for New Game Plus.

Summoning NPCs in 1 sometimes granted their equipment if you beat the boss with them (the Witch lady, Paladin Leroy), and 3 has that AND you can get gestures!

Super Metroid was my first Metroid game. It's also the most perfect game in the world I played Prime next. It's okay but I'll never play it ever again. Then I played Fusion. The story and narration and computer dude were all dumb and I didn't enjoy myself Zero Mission was real cool I played Prime 2. I don't remember much about it, I'll amend that some day. I rented Other M before I knew about its eventual reputation. I hate Metroid now That's me. That's what my life is like. Take it or leave it

Raxivace posted:I like the boss fights in Metroid, but the actual exploration doesn't do nearly as much for me. That's super interesting to me. I'm the exact opposite. I might enjoy the boss fights more, but Samus never really had a good way to dodge attacks. Have you ever played AM2R? That should turn you off Metroid boss fights forever.
