Oxxidation posted:watching skill up’s forspoken preview and I actually really like the combat graphics and environmental design (that huge stone arch is a lovely piece of scenery), but his evasiveness about anything that involves plot or dialogue is ominous and the gameplay itself looks an awful lot like open world icon hunting I haven't watched the whole video, but early on he mentions he's playing a special press build which has no story content (which might also be a bad sign in and of itself)

PS5s are easier to find now than they have ever been, but try to get one before the real christmas season starts because they'll probably get scarce again from rising demand

The opening hour of NFW goes real hard on exposition dumps and catching up, there’s a lot more mandatory talking than in HZD (or the later parts of HFW, for that matter)

Outer Wilds is a continuous string of revelations, that’s why people are so reticent to go into detail about anything. The major gameplay gimmick should reveal itself within the hour, though, yeah

Megasabin posted:Going to start Horizon Forbidden West. Are there any must-know tips prior to starting? Anything on the level of how in the first game it was a huge time-saver not to bother with any weapon upgrades until you got to the capital, where you skip the other ties and get access to purple gear. Your basic bow is now poo poo at close-range engagements, that space was carved out for the new warrior bow weapon type The first mission is very heavy on dialog and exposition dumps, once you get to the open world proper it lets up (somewhat)

Outer Wilds is scary because the universe is completely indifferent to your presence. You're exploring a vast clockwork mechanism that was not built with you in mind. All around you are gears grinding on a cosmic scale and you cannot affect their course, only stay out of their way because if you get caught in them they will simply grind on without you

Vikar Jerome posted:i dont get how tho, is it the lightbar stuff? It's more that support for the very specific PSVR 1 hardware was baked into all the games and there's no way to slip in the new hardware and have them automatically know how to use it The lightbar is part of it insofar as the PSVR 2 can't track a DS4 or dual sense, so any game that uses that would have to be redesigned, but it's also about how the headset sensors report their position and the positions of the controllers to the game

bop bop perano posted:oh i missed this, but i mean the whole game was an issue for me, i really do get scared easily. are there actual underwater levels in the game? cause i only got to the part where you sort of escape the first area and see that you're underwater in a bioshock-style city or lab or something. You barely even started the game, I don't think you even got to the point where there's a real threat present. And yes, you spend a significant amount of time on the open seabed

curried lamb of God posted:I haven't gamed on a PC in more than a decade, but it also seems like "total conversion" mods like Counter-Strike or TFC have gone by the wayside - apparently game engines are way too complex these days for an amateur team to build those types of mods. It's a combination of a lot of things: -Like you say, modern games are far too large and complex for a team of a few unpaid hobbyists to make significant changes to them in a reasonable time. There are more than a few projects that started out as mods but were forced to evolve into actual businesses with paid full-time developers (the first one that comes to mind is Black Mesa) -For a bunch of reasons (but mostly in-game storefronts and cheating in multiplayer) studios are less amenable to modding now and don't give it the support or engine features it needs -Indie development has gotten a lot easier and more accessible, so your game idea doesn't need to piggyback on an existing game to be developed, distributed, or noticed

bloodychill posted:Watch Dogs suffered really heavily from the hype to launch reality in a way few games since have. They did not manage expectations well. It certainly didn’t help that the protagonist looked like a total anti-corporate badass avenging his dead family in the early material and ended up being a weird dork who was avenging his niece who was also still alive (?) and that he had actually hurt in a car accident. He ended up being a weird dork and the entire game ended up being GTA with magic cell phones Watchdogs 2 is night-and-day better because it does fulfill the promise to a much greater extent

History Comes Inside! posted:Watch Dogs 2 was ok. Still very much a Ubisoft tower climbing simulator but with a little drone instead of climbing though. The big thing WD2 adds is a lighthearted approach to the subject matter. WD1 is, like above, GTA with magic cell phones- the same dour gritty protagonist, the same too-realistic setting, the same focus on the underworld, the same encouragement to solve everything with firearms. The enemies are, from what I recall, mostly gang bosses and the tech is just window dressing and an excuse to have more moves available in combat scenarios. WD2, meanwhile, starts with the tech and lets it inspire everything. The setting is now a silicon valley dotcom utopia, brighter and happier and looser and more fun than the first one. The conflict is between the snarky younger generation and the rear end in a top hat tech bro who filled the city with cameras and drones. You have allies now, and they have personalities. Firearms are present, but not *necessary*- you can, and I did, play through almost the entire game with just a taser, gadgets, and the basic melee weapon. The missions are more imaginative and funnier and generally oriented around problem-solving rather than eliminating the opposition. That said, it's still an Ubisoft open world, but I had so much more fun with 2 it's hard to believe it came out of the same team/company

Yeah, Returnal doesn’t really have builds in the normal sense. 90% of your build is your gun, which is totally random. The rest is just window dressing, unless you pick up the one thing that enables one other play style (get health for kills instead of pickups) or if you accidentally get a really bad malfunction and then your run is just hosed if you can’t immediately get rid of it It makes up for this by letting your thumbskill determine your success to a greater degree than most other roguelikes

Don’t watch anything about outer wilds until you’re done with it, all of the value and strength of the game is in the process of discovery. Even if the video is “spoiler-free” there’s no reason to watch it immediately
