Jose Oquendo posted:Deathloop is fun, there's just not a lot of meat on the bones. Yup. One of those games where you play for like 5 hours or so and you've pretty much seen all the game has to offer. I haven't played a CoD for many years so I went ahead and preordered the new one. The campaign seems to have an identity crisis, instead of just leaning into the shootman power fantasy there's a whole lot of super tedious stuff like driving through the world's longest military convoy for what feels like hours and creeping around helpless crafting ad hoc tools out of duct tape and poo poo like some weird Last of Us tribute.

The Perfect Element posted:I've got too much pride just to fast travel out and go somewhere else. One of the best aspects of the game is that you can just go somewhere else. I had a similar reaction my first visit to Stormveil. I just went out and explored and did stuff, the world is huge. I came back probably 10ish game hours later and the place was much more manageable.

Ragnarok is ... ok. I'm just not blown away or anything. I guess this is what Forbidden West detractors said about More Of The Same. I liked that game's combat better and it's world was more fun to explore. I'm in the elf zone where the puzzles are throwing your axe to reflect off those purple ores and I'm already tired of so many puzzles, they are just tedious and stop the flow of the game. People complain about the kid or head telling you what to do but I'm all for it, if I have to stop and look around and go 'wut do i do" for more than two minutes I'm already on the way to irritation.

Just got done with the second time you control Atreus and I really prefer his combat style, just feels more streamlined and intuitive.

mcmagic posted:I'm not exactly sure why but GOW2 isn't really gripping me. I had this initial reaction and thought maybe I just needed to spend more time with it, but I'm approaching the end now and still feel entirely "meh" about the whole experience. At this point all I feel about it is an obligation to finish so I can delete it from my drive.

Just explore a huge, weird atmospheric world, gather stuff and gear and level up, shoot weird monsters, build your own custom base. It's good.

Thundercracker posted:Welp forget everything nice I said about Fallout 76. I just got to the portion of the game where the game economy showed itself and you clearly need to buy a sub or be miserable. As a counterpoint I put way too many hours into '76 and never once felt like I needed a sub. Other players can't loot your stash box which is really all that matters.

YorexTheMad posted:I don't know if I could ever go back to the WoW-style one class per character. I prefer it, because I like rolling alts, which is kinda pointless with FFXIV's job system. However it does fit with the game's more story-driven structure, I really wouldn't want to go through all the story bits again on an alt in that game.

Kind of an overstuffed underwhelming show, but some cool stuff. Marathon, yeah I'm all in. DD2 and Alan Wake 2, I'm looking forward to. Helldivers 2 looks like it could be fun. Not much else? That magic fps looks kinda cool. Spider Man 2, meh, that footage shown did nothing to excite me.

Kilometers Davis posted:I think vvv said this but it’s nice playing a game that is linear in the way of MOVE FORWARD FIGHTING THINGS TO THE NEXT COOL CUTSCENE without having to make a million decisions, find your way if you get lost, worry about builds blah blah blah. You can just boot up FF16 and make meaningful progress and it rules. Yeah, part of my gamer brain wants to complain about how streamlined it all is, but honestly it's working for me and it's fun, so shut up gamer brain.

Not a rogue lite or like thankfully imo. I guess as open a world as a space game can reasonably be, you travel between locations, a quick loading screen between, so far each area seems reasonably large with opportunities to explore a bit, or youll come across unknown locations for side missions or just looting & seeing whats there.

veni veni veni posted:I liked 2018 quite a bit. Not an all timer for me, but I still thought it was mostly great. I didn't hate Ragnarok, but I rarely found myself having a great time. It's a very competent game in a lot of ways, but I just did not like the story at all and the way the world and quests were designed was grating to me. It just felt tedious a lot of the time. I don't regret playing it but I'll most likely never play it again. Pretty much exactly how I felt. The story just didn't engage me as much as 2018, it had small annoyances that kind of added up, but at the end of the day it was still an ok way to pass the time.

The hype around Starfield has gotten fairly comical for what will probably be a 7/10 game once the dust settles. For spaceship combat I would be shocked if it offers a fraction of the complexity and customization of Everspace 2, and as far as party interaction and player choice BG3 is going to be tough to beat from everything Ive heard.

Phenotype posted:Yeah, I do tend to enjoy my Bethesda RPGs. It's a big ol world to explore, lots of stuff to do and RPG mechanics to play with. They're just a little bland -- I never get the feeling that there's any sort of interesting creative vision behind them, or at least one that didn't have any unique voice removed by corporate committee. Bland is right. I mean I spent a couple hundred hours in Fallout 76 but everything Ive seen of Starfield is just a big meh, looks ok but no real aesthetic style or hook to capture the imagination. Id be happy to be proven wrong and finally have a reason to buy an Xbox but I just dont see it. The next actual Elder Scrolls hell yeah Im all in but this im just not feeling any fomo.

Oxxidation posted:as someone with little experience in crpg's the constant failed dice rolls leading to grueling combat encounters riddled with more failed dice rolls are driving me insane. just getting kicked in the dick every ten steps Yeah I hear that. I feel like Im constantly getting into situations where I dont quite know what to do. Quest objectives can be vague. I feel like I have to save all the time lest I turn a corner and stumble into some long ordeal I never asked for. Or is this some ordeal thats necessary? Hard to tell. Combat is not really 'fun' more like a thank god I survived that feeling. And the button to access the main menu is friggin R2. Weird poo poo to adapt to.

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:FF14’s story is not interesting enough to warrant the hundreds of hours it takes to go through it. I got about 80% of the way through heavensward, realized it had taken me like 100 hrs to get to that point and went on to better things About the same as me. The game is somehow both a mediocre single player experience and a mediocre MMO all at once by trying to do both.

Finished up AW2 and overall really enjoyed it, easily in my top 5 games this year. It did have its frustrating moments though, some combat encounters I had to retry multiple times. A few head-scratcher moments of "where do I go/what do I do next" as Alan. The weird graphical shimmering/ight on certain surfaces was distracting at times. But overall just a really fun weird ride, looking forward to the DLC.

I hadn't watched a Yahtzee video in years then somehow stumbled onto a review of a new game and was surprised he was still doing his old schtick. I guess I still have a soft spot for it from old times. And it did lead me to Cold Take videos, which I quite enjoyed.
