VideoGames posted:Hello chat thread! As it is now October, I can ask my question that I really hope to hear your answers to. Hollow Knight is probably the game where I've had the least complaints while playing it. I'm extremely nitpicky so I pretty much always come up with something I think could be changed about my favorite games to make them better. Pikmin 2 is one of my all-time favorite games, but its way too easy. The Dark Souls series are amazing but the PvP is always terribly balanced. Stuff like that always sticks in my mind. Hollow Knight is the closest a game has come to not having any major glaring flaws. I enjoyed almost every single part of it. Then I remembered that Hollow Knight has one of the worst levels in any game I've played, which disqualifies it from being perfect. So uh I guess I don't have one  Dapper_Swindler posted:least this one is basically egypt Witcher 3 with souls combat Don't insult Souls like that plz

Harvest Valley is easy to get through when you know where you are going since it doesn't impede your movement. Farron Keep is the worst poison valley. Its a loving garbage and so insanely boring. Even when you ignore everything in it and do the bare minimum, it still takes a few minutes due to the abundance of muck.

Lemme put i this way; there's a problem the Souls series has where a lot of the time, its better to just run past and ignore the enemies than actually engage with them. Farron Keep is this problem at its worst. There's no reason to actually bother engaging with the enemies there. The slugs are lovely and pointless, easily ignored. The grues have no chasing potential so you can easily bypass them. Basilisks are only dangerous if you actually linger in there gas. The elder grues are utterly horrid and trying to fight them in the sludge is an exercise in frustration. I don't like running past enemies in Souls games, but actually fighting stuff in Farron isn't fun. If I don't want to actually fight the enemies and its easier to ignore them than engage with them, then I feel like there has been a failure in the game design.

doingitwrong posted:I mean, it's cool if you want to play that way but it's kind of funny that you see one of the basic properties of the game as a problem. Souls series is grimdark Metroid. It's a game about mastering traversal of an environment and then boss fights. One way to traverse the environment is slowly and carefully, killing everything until you have empty levels that you can explore to your heart's content. The other way of doing it is learning how you can make your way through the space safely through a mixture of fighting and avoiding. I understand that, but I think enemies should at least be an obstacle so that running past them has some degree of challenge to it. Enemies in Farron Keep aren't hard to avoid, and trying to actually fight them is way more difficult than just ignoring them. This is a problem with almost every area in the Souls series, but I feel its really amplified in Farron Keep.

One of the best things about New Vegas is that you really can kill everyone. Having that sort of freedom makes the game such more enjoyable, even if I basically never acted on it. The amount of immortal NPCs in Bethesda games really annoys me.

CommissarMega posted:Been playing Dark Souls 1 to see what the fuss is about, and while the combat's great, all this faffing about with level geometry (e.g. Anor Londo, the Catacombs etc.) are seriously starting to get tedious- does this change in the later games? Well, the "platforming" gets slightly better in the later games but there are always some areas in each game where navigating the level is intentionally difficult. Dark souls 2 probably has more instances of this than either of the other two games. I'd argue that some of these areas are very well designed though and create interesting challenges. Brume Tower in DS2 is my favorite level in the series because its set up almost entirely vertically. Unlike most tower areas though, you are traveling down rather than up. The level is constructed in a way where you constantly have to navigate perilous terrain in order to carefully move down the tower. So I guess the answer is no, they don't stop doing stuff with level design you might find annoying. Its worth noting though that some of the more obnoxious parts of DS1 like the invisible platforms don't come back. Also I'd say the Anor Londo archers are the trickiest bit of level navigation in the entire series.

You can use the Wii U Gamepad to play the version released on it. No waggling required. Also while the 3DS port isn't bad the Wii U version still looks better. So unless you care about it being portable, get the Wii U version.

I've never understood the appeal of collecting cards from random packs. Even as a kid that played card games I got frustrated buying booster packs and just wished I could get the cards I actually wanted. That's ultimately the reason I quit playing them.

The Moon Monster posted:Technically it's not gambling because the things you're winning have no monetary value, and also you always "win". This isn't true anymore though cause you can sell these items for real cash now. Its not like you even have to go to shady back channels to do it either. Steam lets you sell items from your inventory for cash which you can use to buy other products on steam with. There is a definite monetary value to all this stuff now. The government really should step in and regulate it but that's a massive can of worms. Plus when our government can't even keep us from shooting each other in the face this will always be low on the list of concerns.

Isn't voice acting actually one of the biggest money sinks in triple AAA games? I seem to recall reading that once. Having professional voice actors read even a few lines costs a hefty sum.
