b_d posted:people keep saying destiny is about to be good and then getting disappointed. wait and see imo This was actually correct when The Taken King was about to hit. Shame about all the other times. It sounds like they're making the shader situation a little better? Still a lot worse than Destiny 1 but

Verranicus posted:In unrelated MMO news, Tera is doing server merges (fine) but unlike pretty much every other MMO ever they're not letting players keep characters made on both servers if the number exceeds whatever limit the player has upgraded to, so they're actually telling players to delete their own characters to prepare. Not a good look at all and I honestly can't believe their PR people let that happen since I doubt any MMO would want to be known for being the first to do poo poo like that. Having to pick a server when you create a character just seems outdated and lovely these days. It always seems to cause problems.

Relax Or DIE posted:You beat the bad guy then they set you loose to do a thin set of repetitive junk, because making content for games that look this nice is too slow and expensive You defeat the king of the space walruses and it turns out he was actually just some nobody and then the king of the space walruses shows up and invites you to raid his space ship.

LawfulWaffle posted:I’m playing Harmony of Dissonance and I don’t really know why. I’m pumped about playing a Belmont in a Smash and I fixed my Retropie, and Harmony was the one GBA title I skipped. I want to play with a whip but already there’s a bunch of turn offs that have me looking at the rest of my library. I wish my Rondo of Blood ROM worked. I played all of the GBA/DS Castlevanias and Harmony was without a doubt the worst by a significant margin. It was initially exciting because it was such a graphical/movement upgrade from Circle of the Moon, but it ended up feeling really half baked imo. In retrospect Circle was probably in my top 2 or 3, especially if you were playing it on something with a back light. Saint Freak posted:*record scratch* Games where you kill tigers and grizzlies and poo poo bum me out.

Looper posted:despite not being super into shooters, i played coop halo with one of my roommates several times and definitely enjoyed odst the most thanks to the quiet city intercutting missions Well there's a bug that lets you use them even if you haven't found them yet, I think I always just used that for the more annoying ones. The Colonel posted:i wish red faction guerrilla wasn't basically the only game offering its whole brand of building destruction afaik I think it's a "nemesis system" type situation where the systems are so demanding in terms of development that that has to be the entire point of the game or it's not worth doing.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:It's the same sort of way people ruin their lives with league of legends or dota I think. It's this mostly skill-based competitive game constantly dangling the rush of success and victory in front of your face, but it has enough other stuff going on that you can always shift blame onto something else when you lose and avoid feeling bad about yourself. So you get lots of people who think "of course I deserve to win, look how good I am, it's just bad teammates, bad map placement, bad rng that's getting in my way. if I play one more game I'll win for sure". I mean with League or DotA you'll win roughly 50% of your games unless you're bad enough to defy the matchmaking algorithms.

Looper posted:i don't remember being bothered by the tutorials and slow pace in Moon (skipped XY) but i was also in a big depressive funk at the time so my experience isn't reliable. i do want to play it again tho Moon felt like a huge step back from ORAS to me. Fewer of the cool convenience features and the world felt like a tiny theme-park in comparison. The tutorializing was almost Mario and Luigi: Dream Team level. Also the wardrobe options were so limited compared to XY it felt almost pointless to have kept that feature.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:My gut feeling is that the Nintendo classic sales were hugely driven by folks who remember Nintendo from their childhoods but stopped playing games and picked those things up for the nostalgia/novelty. I just wonder who even wants to play NES games these days. SNES sure, but with NES the only one I could really see myself spending more than half an hour on is Mario 3.

Not a Children posted:Mario RPG, Earthbound, and Yoshi's Island together are like $300 at best for mint carts Is it also the case where for every game that's worth "alot" there are 100s that are worth virtually nothing? I'd assume so but I have no videogame collecting knowledge. an actual dog posted:except for this this was amazing This is like almost exactly that "I'm dumb and so god drat crazy" Shmorky comic.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I will say that I'm always suprised to learn about the size of game studios sometimes. Like I know a lot goes into a game but Riot is just League of Legends basically and they have 2500 employees? I liked to call them "Riot Game" but then they put out a boardgame. I know LoL is one of the most popular/profitable games in the world and has been for awhile but I do wonder if they got that big because they needed to or because they had the money to.

Overwatch Porn posted:these guys are explicitly the villains but the game also does some both sides poo poo The whole "joking but not actually joking" or "haha, these guys suck right, but maybe they have a point if you think about it" thing is pretty standard 2018 internet nazi strategy so I'd be pretty leery of any game that had that poo poo in it at all.

al-azad posted:My favorite thing in Prey is the foam gun that interacts with buttons and consoles but because the darts fire at an angle towards the crosshair you have to pull wonky bank shots to get it to really work. I got so good at this I could angle the gun, jump, and crouch to fire mid-air at the proper angle to hit a button between bars or some obstacle that the game clearly expected you to just morph into a coffee cup. What other FPSes let you do this? In the Marathon trilogy you could flip switches with rockets and genades.

suuma posted:A buddy at work let me borrow his disc copy and it's... Incredibly mediocre? I loved shadow of mordor but something about the sequel feels really off. Aside from the microtransactions I think a big problem that game had was that it took a lot of what was great about Shadow of Mordor and exaggerated it and added more of it until it wasn't so great. Like in SoM it was an awesome and rare occurrence when you ran into an exceptionally goofy orc. In SoW it happened a ton and they all had annoyingly long intro sequences so it really lost its charm. Also it was still way too easy. Even on the harder difficulty Talion is just too powerful for there to ever be real stakes to the fights.
