Was it the previous PS5 thread where people were talking about Dead Rising a couple days back? Because 1, 2 and Off The Record are all currently on sale on the US PSN store for $6 each

Arist posted:Yes, that was me! I already own all those games, but other people should buy them too! I haven't played any other than the very first back when it was a new release. I just grabbed Off The Record when I noticed the sale so your propaganda worked on at least one person

Pennsylvanian posted:I guess to be positive, Sifu is the best game I've played in a long time. This may be my biggest obsession since Doom 2016. Agreed. Sifu is excellent. And it's been updated to be worlds more accommodating than it was at release so if anyone was initially put off by its difficulty, rest assured that's not an issue anymore

Oxxidation posted:they’ve added an easy mode and a hard (Master) mode, default is the original There was even a more recent summer update that added optional modifiers like increased enemy attack speed, unbreakable weapons, low gravity, bullet time, etc. They've done an awesome job of continuing to add things to the game to not only make it more accessible to more players but also to make it potentially more challenging if that's what you're after

Feel better soonArm was sore last night, that soreness has now spread through my whole body and I'm freezing in spite of the mountain of blankets and a dog I've crawled beneath.

I like to think that the "boomer" in "boomer shooter" refers to Doom 2's double-barreled shotgun because if it refers to "baby boomers" it makes no goddamn sense. Even Carmack and Romero are too young to be boomers and I certainly don't get the impression they were making games for folks older than themselves. What they really should be called ishaveblue posted:gen X shooters

Augus posted:the AI in Hot Wheels feels really badly tuned. On easy they're a complete and total cake walk to the point that you'll basically never see them but if you bump it up to medium they instantly become stupidly hard. The front racers almost never make mistakes while the racers further back are so insanely aggressive they will literally drive themselves off of the track trying to get in your way. I had played the game rather shortly after its release and noticed this same exact thing. I thought they'd have patched it by now but I guess not. That's too bad

Other than maybe the shading. I could probably learn to get used to it but at a glance I think it’s hideous Agreed. It looks fine when I scroll by screenshots on my phone but the moment you stop to look at the characters you notice their extreme early 2000's Newgrounds energy

veni veni veni posted:Skill up “strongly recommended” Scorn which was the worst game I played this year. Like, it is legit terrible. Dude has weird tastes. The visuals in Scorn are so, so good so I happily went through the early areas that barely had anything that counted as actual gameplay. Even so, I gave up and uninstalled it as soon as I reached a point where I couldn't just scoot past the enemies and actually had to engage with the literal worst first-person combat I've ever experienced

By the 4th time Kratos and Boy have their "tell me your plan!" "No, it's a seeeecret!" Argumentit really starts to wear thin. Then it happens 4 more times anyway

MechaSeinfeld posted:Using cool weapons is fun, which, circling back to Horizon, makes the cost of ammo crafting lame. I got this disc throwing weapon but I can’t use it because I don’t have enough ‘blast paste’, which is a material that’s reasonably rare, and a little expensive to just stock up on and is used to make other explosives, like the cool rocket spear. So in the early game I just use the standard bow since it costs 1 wood and 1 money while all the other stuff just sits there. The more I think about it, the more I feel that very few games ought to have ammo limits at all. Balance the general purpose weapons around clip size and reload times while putting a cooldown on the real heavy hitters. Otherwise it's like, hold up, gotta go down this obvious dead-end and open two drawers so I can shoot the next couple trash enemies with something other than my lovely sidearm (which of course has a uniquely bottomless ammo supply)

RareAcumen posted:A lot of these HFW and GOWR posts just give me the impression that a lotta people here are clamoring for games that play like arcade games. Just start up, no cutscenes aside from the bad guy hopping into a helicopter or driving off or something and you're off to the races punching people for 5 hours. Yeah, Doom 2016 was great. I tend to skip a lot of cutscenes but it depends on the game. With big AAA games like GOW, TLoU, Spider-Man, etc. I'm definitely down to watch all the cutscenes and play attention to what's going on. And there are plenty of games where I've started out that way but then they've gotten too long-winded and I've given up (Death Stranding). But if I'm loading up something like Sniper Elite 5 then I'm there exclusively to blow up Nazi balls and I will skip every bit of exposition possible

I think Sony is claiming that Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to absorb Activision because Sony has no games of their own and it'd be unfair if the Activision IP's all became Microsoft-owned Announcing a bunch of new PS5 games would obviously undercut that

To each their own but I found the OlliOlli World controls to be excellent. I'm an old rear end man but there's not a single level in that game that I couldn't get through with one long, uninterrupted combo. It'd often happen during my first pass through a level then I'd go back and replay it a bunch to get all the challenges. It was honestly my GOTY last year, suck it Elden Ring

ShoogaSlim posted:
A really basic and simple option would be just be: [metacritic score] minus [time to beat] Looking at the first 10 games you have listed there you'd end up with the order being: Sekiro (great game, short ttb) Dark Souls 2 Nioh Metal Gear Solid 5 Death Stranding Bioshock Collection Witcher 3 Stardew Valley Persona 5 Mass Effect (long as poo poo) If you think that's giving too much of a penalty against long games you can multiply the metacritic score by 2 (or 3 or 4, etc ) depending on how you want to weigh score verses ttb. At score*2 the Witcher 3 jumps ahead of Bioshock in spite of being 33% longer. At 3x it also jumps ahead of Death Stranding and MGS 5 moves ahead of Nioh. Things get really shaken up if you decide that score should be worth 5x the length penalty: Witcher 3 Stardew Valley Sekiro Persona 5 Nioh Metal Gear Solid 5 Mass Effect Death Stranding Dark Souls 2 Bioshock Collection
