I think I might give up on Spiderman - I haven't played a ton of it, and like tons of people have said swinging around is pretty fun, but every other activity is uninteresting open world generica.

After years of playing Skyrim with mods and then a chunk of time not playing it at all, I picked up the Switch version on sale. So now I'm back to Vanilla. I realized I'm in a rut. My default move is to just follow the main story and go back to Whiterun and play from there, but I've seen all that. There's tons and tons of places to go. So I'm looking for advice. Are there any parts of the main line I really should do to unlock key abilities? What should I go next instead? I've done the Mages guild and the Thieves guild and The Companions to death.

Important Miku news!!! https://mobile.twitter.com/gematsucom/status/1145714300385935360 It's a compilation title with 101 songs which means it'll probably be a good place to jump in if you're new to Project Diva. It does mean you don't have many reasons to get it if you have Future Tone for PS4 (that was a compilation with 220 songs it's so many) especially because they're gonna port the new songs to FT as DLC. That said it's still pretty hype it's a really good series.

Help Im Alive posted:Yeah I dropped Spiderman after like 6 or 7 hours (And RDR2 in like 10 so I think I'm done with open world games until BotW2) What I like about Assassin's Creed Origins & Odyssey is that they are both very action focused. They don't get bogged down by having side activities like fishing, mini-games, hunting mechanics, etc. This makes them arguably more shallow, but as a result these two games are laser focused on stealth, and murder, or just murder if that is your thing, stealth is never required. Both games also do away with trailing enemies and forced stealth sections that made the previous Assassin Creed games frustrating.

I kinda feel the same way. Like there's nothing overtly wrong with the game, it's obviously well put-together and everything has a high production value, but the world kind of dumps all these dull uninteresting mini-games on you all the time instead of blending them into the story, which is also very slow to get moving.

I like the stealth in the new ones because its less sneaking around picking targets and more loving up one particular area, preferably killing a notable foe, and then scrambling out of the way of the reinforcements and loving up another less guarded segment. More like a one person guerrilla.

I was kinda shocked that people think Origins & Odyssey are so different cause they really aren't, it's really just the loot mechanics and combat feel, stealth is the same.

the only AC games I remember liking a lot were AC2 which is probably now a product of its time, and AC4 which was the first one to almost get away from the boring story poo poo and put you in the role of a cool pirateman. I was sad that there's been zero news on the Skull and Bones game though. I played quite a bit of Origins until the RPG aspect killed my enthusiasm because having enemies with "levels" is a bad change. Anything AC does in terms of "assassination" though, Dishonored 1+2/Mark of the Ninja/Hitman does better in some way and nowadays being a stealthy "assassin" is barely a part of the games. The latest one has you play as a legionnaire for gently caress's sake, how much farther can you get from the secret ninja stalking of the original premise. Like just make a non-AC titled game, get rid of the Animus poo poo, nobody can really be that attached to the AC name.

I am not playing another AC game until the mechanics are just radically different I've been down on open world games as a gut reflex for quite a while now since they seem so stuffed with time-wasting bullshit

In Black Flag I remember stacking mountains of Spanish Navy corpses since every guard would just wander one at a time to the exact spot where the last guy died.

Monkey Fracas posted:I am not playing another AC game until the mechanics are just radically different the only open world that accurately earns the drudgery of things you need to do is Mad Max which drops you into a literal wasteland of despair, dark hellscape dungeons, and brutalistic encounters. exquisite tea posted:In Black Flag I remember stacking mountains of Spanish Navy corpses since every guard would just wander one at a time to the exact spot where the last guy died. Yeah I think Origins was the first game where the combat/AI wasn't completely dogbrained. It was pretty funny how AC4 gave you a pistol and let you break fights with it.

I really dislike that there are enemies in the latest games that are LEVEL GATED and if you are too low not only can you barely hurt them in combat, but they will frickin survive an assassination It also leads to situations where, obviously there are enemies that are clearly to be avoided but other fights where you're almost close enough in level that you might as well fight it out but it's a slog and takes forever

"Assassin" has meant "action hero except in an old timey place" since midway through the Ezio games.

Ezio snapping his fingers and then suddenly four soldiers get murked from the shadows is far more "assassin-like" than "slash slash block, slash slash block, use special attack on cool down, repeat 20x to kill one guy"

origins might be one of the worst games i've ever played, and consequently one of the few that i never bothered with for more than 2-3 hours every single part of it, from graphics to sound design to movement to combat, was a disaster

Just flashing back to my time with AC2 I remember partway through the game they start introducing different special enemy types- one was a bigass heavy armor dude, one was a fast guy who had the superpower of actually following you when you climbed a building or something to escape, and the last type had a spear and would crudely like poke around in piles of hay to make sure you weren't hiding in there It never went well for him even if he managed to find you since I feel like you were nigh invincible in combat in that game

I started playing Dungeon Fighter Online again, decided I was gonna play as a female brawler. I really like the difference in subclasses in this game from both aesthetic, gameplay, and lore perspectives. The brawler subclass' whole story is basically just the female fighter deciding she wasn't happy with the standard martial arts training of being respectful and calm so instead she started learning lots of dirty tricks like hiding bombs in her gloves, carrying sand in her pocket, coating her weapon in poison, drinking poison until she became immune to it, carrying a brick around to smack people in the face with it, throwing nets, columns, wagon wheels, and just beating the gently caress out of people with whatever other dirty trick she can think of. I like her official first awakening art too.  Not as much of a fan of her official second awakening artwork though  I'm thinking I might try streaming it since I'm not gonna be streaming over wi-fi anymore so the streams will be more stable. Might be fun, might be boring, meh, no matter. How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling bleh because of nightmares kicking my rear end more than usual lately but other than that and general fatigue I'm doing alright enough I guess.

Lost Odyssey Report #1: This is a cool game. There's this big giant battle going on and I'm this kinda douchey Squall wannabe and I kick a whole load off rear end until everyone gets squished by a meteor except I survive cause I'm immortal so I go home and there's a girl who also seems to be immortal so I think we're gonna bam chicka wow wow at some point. Also politics is happening! Our nation is at war with another nation who are acting on behalf of an even worse nation and also there's a scheming ruling council cause we had a mad a magic-inspired people's revolution a few decades back. Anyway, turns out one wicked sketchy council dude is responsible for me being immortal but it's not really that big a thing but now they're sending me to look into the source of the meteor and sketchy dude has been kicked off the council until I'm done. Then I went into an inn and had a dream of my past which was really loving sad and it totally got me good  Anyway, the presentation of this game is unbelieveable. The world is detailed and beautiful to an extent matching Mass Effect, the music is gorgeous and while I'm not hooked on the plot yet the world is intriguing me and I want to see more.

As a heads-up don't expect the rest of the game's writing to measure up to the Thousand Years of Dreams segments because it totally doesn't.

Lost Odyssey is really good and I am holding out hope for a Switch port because I really don't want to replay it on a 360. The music is really amazing, some of Nobuo Uematsu's best work if you ask me.
