It would be cool if the Japanese version of Headdy could get rolled into an English release. There are a bunch of cosmetic changes that look cooler, like the cat is smiling and creepy as his head flops around.

exquisite tea posted:I hope games of the future incorporate an I JUST WANT TO WIN button that gradually fills up every time you fail an encounter and adjusts dynamically based on how well you were doing up to that point. Nintendo patented this very system. The best dynamic difficulty was in the objectively best action game God Hand. Doing well powered up the enemies but you'd get better rewards. You had special moves that let you grovel to lower the difficulty or taunt to raise it, adding a bit of strategy as some enemies are easier to defeat than others regardless of difficulty.

From the company that brought you this!  In Training posted:After all the build up Pyramid Head has in the early goings of SH2 I was expecting a Clock Tower style indestructible periodic antagonist but I guess you kinda stand a few feet away from him and plug him with 40 9MM slugs and he simpers into a puddle of water...very weird, tonally clashes with the rest of the game. Still loving Silent Hill 2 though I went through a weird regression with Silent Hill 2. It was neat when it released but it's a great step back in design from SH1 which is a pretty tense survival horror game with aggressive enemies and deliberate level design that makes running difficult. SH2 has weak monsters that are easily dispatched with a pole and you're never really threatened by anything. But a lot of people argue "that's the point" with the story being what it is but it doesn't mean that SH2 is... kind of boring to play. Memorable, beautiful, still haunting but boy do I never want to play it again. lets hang out posted:oh thats why it didnt come out in english C18's watching you, you communist, friend of the family-loving, Paki cunts.

Raxivace posted:Silent Hill 1 is incredibly easy too. I mean yes, but if SH1 is Super Mario World then SH2 is New Super Mario Bros. You can sleep through that poo poo. Also the bosses in SH2 are a huge let down. First Pyramid Head you just avoid him for a minute. Abstract daddy (best name btw) and hanging flesh sacks(?) just move in a straight line in a 5x5 room. Eddie is Cybil but nowhere near as creepy or interesting. Same with Mary, it's Incubus but in a well lit room with a dumb attack. I'm having a rough time forcing my way through SH3 as well. Like there's a fairy tale segment again but instead of a boss it's a harmless lump of flesh that just leaves off screen when you solve the puzzle. SH1 was the only one I beat new so maybe it's just a "I needed to be there thing" but I don't think I like the series very much tbh

I'm pretty bummed right now because I can't find my copy of Mischief Makers  It was 100% complete and I got it on my birthday with Goldeneye and Star Fox 64, pissing off all my cousins because I wanted to SHAKE SHAKE instead of slapping people in four player deathmatch. It's literally the only N64 game from my collection that just vanished wtf.

This happened last year with Uncharted having concept art from AssCreed in its trailer. When you're working with thousands of assets it's difficult to catch every single one. I knew of the assassination, but never saw a picture so if I was QA'ing the game it'd be like whatever.

I wish the final boss was more involved. They could've had you fight Beastector and their machines in their default forms before they combined into MegaZord. Individually they are basically pieces of Seven Force, objectively the greatest boss in video games (and the cornerstone for Cuphead's gameplay concept).

My favorite detail about Mischief Makers is that you rescue the professor multiple times but each chapter ends with him trying to grope Marina and she tosses him into loving space while the narrator says something poetic overlooking Earth's atmosphere. Although if you end the game and the player's age is 18+ the final scene is him creeping on Marina.

The White Dragon posted:phoenix is intimidating because a lot of things are going on, but it's actually not that hard. cerberus alpha is basically rng though Not quite. His missiles are unpredictable but you can shake a missile to blow through them all. And you can grab his charged shot and he'll wait until you throw it at him. I'll say he's just long. Dude takes more hits than any other boss so there's less room to gently caress up. Like first thing I do is hop on a missile and I'm good after that. precision posted:it's pretty amazing that Shinji Mikami made a game whose only memorable part was "HERE'S MY BIG BONER!!!!!!" and then said "OK, but what if I wanted to get really silly?" Hey I take offense! Everything about Shadows of the Damned's aesthetic was my poo poo and it didn't play too bad. TEW could've topped it if they laid off the bullshit instant deaths. I really enjoyed 3/4 of that game but that one quarter was just a kick in the nuts every time. CharlieFoxtrot posted:I honestly do not get all the raving about how innovative the Nemesis system is and how much it adds to games and how people want to see that repeated like it's something special. I even died while playing Shadow of Mordor so I actually got to see the traits change but big whoop, interlocking enemy traits is something that has been in RPGs and hierarchy-based territory control has been in other open world games. The narrative stuff is all generic palette swap enemies with canned monologues that I skipped after the first dozen and hearing that they're made even longer and more frequent in Shadow of War is not exciting to me at all It's stuff that's been in other games but not to that degree. It was a glimmer of something another company could perfect but nobody actually did. Like the system would've worked well in a Batman game where each rogue has their own henchmen. It would've been perfect in a wrestling game where bullshit soap opera stories are why people still care. But nah, its being tossed in the garbage because WB doesn't have a franchise to milk.

Olive! posted:Four Swords or Four Swords Adventures? Cause I'm pretty sure Four Swords is unplayable solo. Nintendo released a patched Four Swords for Zelda's 25th(?) on DSi Ware. It's the only way to play the game solo and local multiplayer and Nintendo offered it for 5 minutes before locking it away in the Disney vault. Just reached the desert in Four Swords Adventure and the level design overall is pretty terrible. They expect you to coordinate in frustrating ways and I could not imagine playing this with three other assholes. I'm resolved to beat every Zelda I haven't completed which means I'm dreading Triforce whatever.

Resident EVIL down. Next up to finish the last quarter of Silent Hill 3 and make this a productive day. Feels like they completely ran out of ideas as the last area is a linear enemy gauntlet. I don't know why I kept bouncing off this, been playing it since release, but I think the pacing is all over the place. I really enjoyed the movie vignettes and I'd love to see a game built entirely around that. Like you're investigating some bullshit watching snuff films which reveal solutions to puzzles, why aren't there more of this?? In Training posted:
You literally have seen nothing yet. On a related note, Suda made a Blood+ game which is his Deadly Premonition. It basically bridges the gap between Killer7 and No More Heroes.

Raxivace posted:I have to say that Evil Within feels a bit rougher than I was expecting from the guy who directed RE4, even with warnings going into it that it was a flawed game. The game changes completely each chapter. First couple are strictly stealth but eventually you reach a point where you never really run dry. But the basic gameplay involves knee-capping an enemy then burning them quickly. Sometimes you'll catch multiple guys together. Upgrade your matches ASAP, it will save you ammo. Lessons learned from my run, the 5th upgrade is never worth it on the first run. 15 matches is great but I never had that many, let alone 30 that the final upgrade allows. Best upgrades early game are sprint (critical by mid-game), matches, and agony ammo. Critical chance is handy for instant kills. I'd say melee is the least useful.

Viewtiful Jew posted:This is actually the leaked intro for the next Zelda game. It really highlights how amazing A Link to the Past's intro was. It's dark and stormy, a mysterious voice calls you out of bed to face an army barehanded, then you come across your dying uncle who tells you to gently caress poo poo up. I don't know why the 3D games insist on such obnoxious world building. At least BotW eschews the forced segments for making the entire first roadblock an extended tutorial.

Anyway he only spawns once per wing so when the screen flashes duck in the nearest cupboard. This is the only level this guy appears like this. And a little tip, the next chapter is super long and hard. There's a chase sequence with an old enemy and while they can be killed you shouldn't bother.

The original PC port also kept (I believe) PS2 button prompts in so if you're playing on a keyboard you're hosed when an instant death QTE comes at you unless you know which action corresponds to a controller's button.
