I actually figured out late into my Claire run that it's actually faster and more efficient to DISMEMBER the zombies than it is to kill them with headshots :psyduck:

That way they're just torsos lying on the ground groaning but not actually able to do anything to get at you!

Sort of. Headshots don't do any extra damage to zombies compared to body shots, but their critical hit effect is to destroy the head for a guaranteed permanent kill. If you just want to knock a zombie down to get it out of your way, headshots work just fine and have a chance to make it really stick.

In packs. They're selling packs of official proxies.

I was in the cinema to see EEAAO and the trailer for Men came on and about five seconds into it I was like "oh ok I get it. I don't need to see that movie now" so I didn't

EEAAO is maybe the best movie I've ever seen in my life though

Dabir
Nov 10, 2012

The universe itself was on board with me about how good EEAAO was. I went into that cinema when the skies were grey and it was pissing it down with rain, I was grumpy cause I'd ordered a non dairy milkshake without realising and it tasted like poo poo, but I went in and sat in the nice comfy actual armchairs that place has instead of normal seats and the movie came on and it was amazing and however many hours later I went outside just feeling incredibly good about the world and the way things were, and the clouds had gone and the sky was blue and the sun was shining, and I was like you know what, yeah, that movie did change the goddamn weather just for me and the couple dozen other people in there, that actually makes complete sense

sure, but it's an amusing bit of trainspotting to watch all of these games with a lost hoard of aztec gold for a budget thinking that people really want to look at their sphere grid through a periscope for 50+ hours

it's like how callisto protocol has long, separate animations for every single upgrade on the talent trees for every weapon in a game and every single purchase you make, including packs of bullets (which you can only make singular purchases of), which is so obscenely opulent and useless that you gotta wonder what the hell was going on

There's also 21 joke endings covering the whole alphabet, scattered all through the story. A lot of them are things like not going the right way when the story is trying to advance and getting hit with "and so, 2B wandered away from the imminent massive crisis situation to go fish in a sewer for a thousand years or whatever it is you thought you were doing. Nice one."

Dark Souls 2 combat feels off

Floaty awkward animations, terrible hit feedback, bad feeling movement, enemy difficulty being based on how firmly their feet are nailed to an invisible lazy susan, hitboxes are hosed beyond salvaging and grabs are implemented in a way where it literally never feels fair that you got got even if it was

i just played it on the deck and it's jank and feels old but it really holds up. especially in terms of atmosphere. i was also a big fan of enemies having much more binary resistances and weaknesses, whereas every other souls game lets you mash the square into the circle shaped hole, demon's souls does, uhh, not.

DS1 carries that tradition on, maybe not quite as hard. Like, the snake men in Sen's are a major wakeup call that it's time to get yourself some elemental damage.

no disagreements here, although lacking documentation for basic game mechanics and being needlessly obtuse is a fromsoft special, like when no one knew what the gently caress poise did in DS3 and fromsoft's only reply was, "poise is working as intended. well, seeya"

Oh thanks for reminding me, poise is also hosed in DS2, and it's hosed in a way that makes taking hits unpredictable even if you know exactly how it works! System mastery your way around an invisible bar with no damage numbers and a glacially slow recharge, nerd

It was Kane and Lynch 2. Still the Hitman devs though. Was kind of funny looking back, GameSpot going "we didn't fire Jeff Gerstmann over his Kane and Lynch 2 review" while both sides of the website were full-height banner ads for Kane and Lynch 2.

Playing Bully has made me appreciate the concept of a game where you have certain activities more or less regimented by time.

It made me think another concept that could be cool in that vein would be a prison break game. You have certain activities (meals/yard time/work time) regimented to you and you have to work at breaking out in the fringes of the time available to you.

In general there are very few games set in prisons. I'm blanking on that one bizarre one that was made by the guy that also did a Jesus game.

I don't remember the name of the game you're thinking of but the guy is MDickie.

There was that coop story thing that starts with breaking out of prison a few years ago.
