A. Beaverhausen posted:No lie Bubsy is the first SNES game I remember playing, I never thought he'd be coming back. I am psyched for it because someone offered to buy it for me if I do a full let's play of it after the absolute shitshow that was my LP of the original. I just hope it's funny bad like the original Bubsy is instead of that bland generic ugly kind of bad.

imo Bloodborne is the only Souls game that got player stats totally right. The rest of them either have a stat that is completely useless (Resistance), a dump stat only for really niche builds (Luck), or decisions that make no sense and hurt the game by forcing you to pay a soul tax to play normally (Adaptability and splitting up Endurance into two stats). Bloodborne went the opposite direction and simplified it down as much as possible, which I really appreciate.

If you remove leveling, the game's balance would go right out the window. Enemies would have to do pitiful amounts of damage from start to finish if the player couldn't level up their health, or else stuff would start killing you in one hit real fast. Buffing runes to augment your character in higher amounts so that they matter more could change that, but there's a reason everyone wears the Cling Ring in Demon's Souls no matter what. But even if you do keep raising your health and endurance in, the combat difficulty curve would be completely flat. Making damage output the only thing that matters would require the game to gate upgrade materials even further than it already does, which would cap the maximum damage you can output at any given time. There would be no way to get ahead of enemies but tons of ways to fall behind, and there are already enough of those with the current system. Enemies would end up having hundreds and hundreds more health than you do, but it wouldn't matter because you'd still be killing each other in about the same number of hits as you were in the first area. The benefit of having stats to specialize in is that they allow you to make your character better than normal at specific things, which in the end puts you ahead of the enemies. That's the reason that quality builds in other Souls games end up suffering- You're trading specialization for being a jack of all trades, which makes you less effective overall but gives you more options. Bloodborne supports the 'quality build' playstyle really well because there aren't many stats in the first place, and you have more than enough time to pick something before stat scaling starts really mattering. Also, Arcane and Bloodtinge make for very useful utility stats even on characters that aren't specializing in them. Augur of Ebrietas is one of the most useful tools and it's got I think like 15 for its requirement. With how little upgrading STR/DEX matters until the later game when your weapons start benefiting, putting some points into them while it's still cheap will unlock the usage of a bunch of spells/guns very early on that deal a ton of damage. Even the basic pistol turns into a handheld howitzer with just a few upgrades and some points invested. edit: And this whole conversation would be null and void if Bloodborne had a way to re-spec, but it doesn't for some reason.

Andrast posted:I'd rather them remove weapon upgrading than touch the leveling system. I would agree with that. Bloodborne is very stingy with its upgrade mats, especially chunks, and that really sucks because some of the late game weapons are imo the best ones. edit: https://twitter.com/SeniorPacman/status/875473436738437120 https://twitter.com/spookperson/status/874892963540865024 happy october CJacobs fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Oct 1, 2017 |

The only thing about RDR I don't like is the morality gauge. The game has a lot of reactions to you being on the bad end instead of the hero, but there are no incentives or reasons to actually be bad. Other than that it's great.

glam rock hamhock posted:To ask the thread a similar question: are there any pays of a game you love that other people seem to hate? The shooting in Spec Ops: The Line is perfectly serviceable and imo very punchy and satisfying, which is why it bothers me when people use the "it's supposed to be not fun to play" point in talking about why the game is so deep. It is fun to play.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Holy poo poo, I was going to get around to the Nioh DLC eventually but playing it on the PC sounds rad. I don't know how good Koei Tecmo's ports are but if I can play it at 1440p@60fps that will be glorious You might not be able to. The game is restricted to the 1080p-max 60fps mode and the special 4k 30 fps mode the ps4 pro has.

If DS3 had the Rusted Iron Ring from the first game, I would have no problems with Farron Keep. But it doesn't. So Farron Keep loving sucks. edit: And honestly it not being included is so strange to me considering the sheer number of straight-outta-Lordran enemies and items that pop up in 3 elsewhere.

precision posted:I haven't been watching your Evil Within 1 because I wanted to get around to it myself, I just started it today. Sebastian's "What the gently caress?" in the second chapter is my favorite line in the entire game. It is perfectly voice acted and I am so sad he is not voiced by Anson Mount in the sequel. That man has the absolute best deadpan curse word drops. I hope you enjoy it, man, it's a goddamn good game. My advice to you is to play the first few chapters like it's The Last of Us. Too many people try to play it like RE and get curbstomped and run out of ammo, but if you sneak around and only shoot if you have to, it's a lot more fun.
