Kind of amazing I'm still enjoying Xenoblades 2 after all this. Clicked when I got three people I could control(mostly) and that was 4-5 hours in. Still that's a lot of design sin.

Funny to see you hear user, I just fired up Faster Than Light the other night and died to the Rebel Ship after sleepwalking everything else. At least it was Phase 3 so I performed and had a fighting chance but No Cloak Gonna Croak. Early damage to weapon systems caused death spiral.

You can just shoot them to get health anyway and on Ultra-violence or higher you are not invincible while performing them

You can turn them off, dingus. It's in the pause menu. The regular stagger is also much shorter on Ultra-violence.

I'm noticing a lot of people in general have not bothered playing Doom 4 on Ultra-violence and that is objectively the true game and has me very excited for what the team can do when they're more confident and have more money.

Human Revolution is the exception to the rule there, it's the only game I can think of that will time you without putting a timer up for you in regards to situations. You can save youer pilot too when the ship crashes if you can clear the area fast enough, but nothing lets you know that there are multiple outcomes for that situation

but they dont attack during your turn. They have ability that makes them burrow and if you get too close while burrowed they will attack. And the game will always show you when they burrow.

So you're talking about the entire Bioshock series right?

wtf why does Terry look like an old Sean Murray in those pics? Was he a time traveler trying to warn himself?

They stagger for a much shorter time on Ultra-violence and they DO NOT take more damage, you fool. You have to equip a rune for that to happen. This is undisputed fact and I also know from getting %100 completion on 2 separate platforms

Actually play the game, you anti-shill contrarian faggots.

it doesnt give you invul but it is still very useful when used sparingly yes. and the range and speed runes help a ton too.

Are we talking about the same mechanic? Glory Kills? You knock the guy down to near death, he staggers, press button to execute? Why would I need him to take more damage? What deals more damage than death?

And yes they stagger for a much shorter time. That's part of the thrill of higher difficulties. You need to know which guns are reliable enough to crack a guy down to that stagger so you can enter the animation for a breather with the fucking imp doomballs flying around.

The original point was that Glory Kills are "useless" and more so on higher difficulties. What most people miss about GKs is they're part of your tool kit and a really good one.

God that sums up Battlefield 4 pretty well. Me and my friend have been playing it across this whole gen since 1 was not great and 5 was a sack of shit during the beta. Now even if you go to quick match you almost never end up on an official server anymore. You end up in some Brazilian server where they ban the use of guns and decide to have it on one map with a near unlimited ticket amount so it never ends and if you quit you wont get the xp from that match.
Why do Brazilians ruin so many online games?

Sorta, there's more than a few missions where they start burrowed. The game does show you the general area for a quick contextless flash at the start, but its super easy to lose track once the mission actually starts.

The real question is why the hell arent you bringing supports with scanning/healing and scanner beacons. They mostly show up on Terror/base missions anyways where scanning and scanner beacons are already incredibly useful for faceless.

They can be bullshit, but its a "fool me twice" kind of bullshit.

...

But they definitely should have put another option even if it isn't laid out in front of you if you wanted to make that big message to the player mean anything. For example a similar twist was Spec Ops the Line which has multiple moments where it seems like you're presented with only one option when in reality there is another way to deal with it but it just isn't laid out in front of you. Then the game makes that statement to you as the player while flashing those moments on screen and how they could've been different.

I love that. I like NG+ for allowing me to skip things that may be tedious on repeated playthroughs like grinding for item drops or doing boring side content, not for making the game easier.

Hate to say this, but I feel like the only game that did a forced "stealth" mission well was Saint's Row 4, and that's mostly because it was just a giant meme parodying other stealth games and they drop the stealth nonsense about half-way through it anyways.

2 recent games that have done it were Red Dead Redemption 2 and Final Fantasy XV. Red Deads wasn't as bad but XV is inexcusable

GTA SA is guilty of this. The gets you in maximum comfy mode with hoodrat shenanigans and the sweet California vibe before immediately jettisoning you in Whetsone, San Firerro and Las Venturas for like 80% of the game, only to put you back in LS for clean up.

because you don't start with a bunch of great items. you start with a basic set of items.you're set back to default because that's the same default as the first game.this is ONLY at the start of the game for the sake of setting up the story
compare dto intro sequences, what you get later is a great set of items

What's wrong with this? I've always seen achievements as just extra goals to shoot for if I want more game, there's no reason to chase achievements if you don't enjoy the process

Because it's not an "achievement" or a "goal", it's just being tedious for the sake of tedium
for example, this achievement in spelunky where you must go out of your way to avoid every bit of treasure that's scattered throughout the levels. you very often pick it up on accident and can easily be knocked into picking it up involuntarily
and it's not just "low, it's NONE. you can't touch a single bit

Something being hard to do doesn't automatically mean it deserves praise or becomes an achievement. It's on the same level as you shitty zoomers eating tide pods or spoons of cinnamon.
The only thing challenged here is you.

It doesn't seem like that bad of an achievement in my opinion. At least it challenges the player in a different way. I'd have more of an issue with achievements that require you to do something minor and you have to replay the game if you miss it.

SupCom AI is literally unbeatable

Doom 2016's difficulties are the fucking worse, a single hit on the harder modes will steal half your health but it doesnt matter since enemies become health piniatas when you are on low health which makes trying not to get hit worthless since it takes so long to build up your health once you are over 50%

>Just wanted to replay BF3 multiplayer

Are there any good games that actually improve enemy AI on higher difficulties rather than just making you weak and the enemies tankier?

>>hardest difficulty just bumps health and damage numbers
This is just the saddest thing. I've been on gamedev for a little while and just know for a fact that in many games enemies have accuracy values, reaction time values, cooldowns between their attacks.
Back in the day games like Shadow Warrior and Blood had the tracescan enemies have reaction times so they go easier on you on lower difficulties.

AI in general just has gone way down, in Half Life you throw a grenade, enemies just fuck off at light speed and now 20 years later you can see in cyberpunk's gameplay that if you throw a grenade to a group of guys they just scream "grenade!!" but do nothing about it.
They know how to navigate the environment, they that there is a point they can fuck off to avoid that grenade but because the videogame standard for AI is braindead moron that will run at you in a straight line then why even try. Why even try to improve on something that was better 20 years ago.

That literally is the point. Same with slow, pointless climbing sections, they're there to provide """pacing""" and pad the gametime length

It's a hard achievement, but if you're incapable of doing it, you don't have to- there's no game content locked behind it or anything. Some people like challenges that fundamentally change the way you approach the game, and consider that to be fun, even if in this instance it goes against the point of the game. Unless you're some kind of autist who needs artificial validation from 100% achievement completion there's literally no issue with this.

Waiting for a game that has humans transforming into braindead vessels and calling them "Trannies"

Not him but I don't know about that.
On Hard, I went to fight Miru/Noah with zero preparation and managed to bruteforce it after a few hours, everything after was tolerable, library platforming was challenging but very much fair, but then Irisu kicked my fucking ass. Did beat her eventually but that was a fucking spike if I ever saw one.
Now, DLC platforming is another fucking story entirely. Especially the Hall of Memories+.

playing Destiny 2 where literally fucking anything is a hold E to do anything including remembering to fucking breathe, i've a sneaking suspicion it's a very cheap tactic to slightly pad any game out in however small way. It's not annoying enough to outright drop the game, but it's just another filler in the void of meaningful interactions or content. It's more malicious in terms of Steam's refund practice, what with trying to sneak their way past the 2-hour limit.

yeah, you're probably right there. On that note however:
>game has multiple actions bound to same key, and despite a PC version, you can't individually bind the actions to different keys

this is only acceptable if it has a "overcharge" mechanic, like how TES would let experts or masters repair their gear to 125%, at which point it would both protect better and deal more damage. If it's just durability and nothing else, it's just another trash way to pad the game and/or potentially extort money for mtx to repair your crap

Ultimately what should the hardest enemy reward you then? Especially if it's a bonus boss.

an special cutscene on the ending of the game OR the real ending of the game, no mechanic or gear should be locked until there's virtually nothing but the last boss to use it unless is plot relevant.

it took me a week to beat the second Anubis encounter in ZOE2 because either I'd get rekt immediately expecting the game to carry on, or dodge around for long enough that I'd run out of subweapon ammo, get bored and reset the game to get my subweapon ammo back thinking there must be a better way to pwn the boss

turns out you have to die but after some set amount of time, and the amount of time is increased per difficulty, but you still can't win in any way. you HAVE to die to progress, but only after a timer has elapsed. bad design

granted it wasnt a full week of play more like an hour after work each day for 5 days but still wtf kind of design is that

Like 9 time’s out of 10 it’s based around percentage of the animation played, not what the actual animation is doing.

Left 4 Dead 2’s reloads are so fucking annoying though. Needing to finish the entire animation just to get anything back in the magazine sucks, despite shoving not stopping the animation.

>big fancy charge-up weapon with tons of fanfare
>worse dps than the starter weapon

also

>upgraded starter weapon is the absolute apex of weaponry in the game
so why even introduce other weapons if my starting pistol will outpace anything new I get?

even RE4 fucked this up, on top of the 10x crit Silver Ghost, the wood-furnitured basic shotgun you get is objectively the most destructive comparing all the final upgrades. the only reason the Stryker wins out is because it lets you run at mach 8

the true innovation CoD gave to shooting games and it's the one thing they dont all copy

its BULLSHIT that this didnt catch on, reload cancelling is still unrealistic but holy fuck its satisfying

Like seriously who fucking cares just call it fucking gold, it's fucking gold, stop trying to come up with some stupid fucking name for money.

>Like 9 time’s out of 10 it’s based around percentage of the animation played, not what the actual animation is doing.
in a video game there is not really a conceptual difference here. the key thing is that the percentage of animation played corresponds to when the mag would have actually clicked in

in 90% of guns reload cancelling like that would still result in an empty chamber and having to still complete the full animation, but the realistic option would be to require just the animation to put one in the chamber rather than a whole new reload

>L4D2

100% of modern JRPGs

or if you want at least one, Valkyria Chronicles Covenant Of The Plume is p bad about it, and there was also FFTA and FFTA2, The World Ends With You was pretty pretentious even if it was fun about it, and even fucking Advance Wars Dual Strike tried to shame the player for playing a war-themed vidja gayeme

The Striker is the most damaging shotgun, and it can hold like 60 shells.

Having a shotgun with 0 damage drop off is neat though. I wanna replay RE4 just to use it and the starting rifle.

You can exit the room in the middle of Irisu's phases to buff up and etc

oh also the striker can hold 100 at max (it jumps there from 50 for its Exclusive upgrade) and even then it's weaker than the Riot Gun. the dichotomy is supposed to be that Riot Gun is more powerful but Striker gives you follow-up shots and wider area of effect (making the Striker objectively superior anyway, for the same reason militaries irl use assault rifles instead of battle rifles). the plain shotgun is actually the weakest but like the starter pistol its crit rate is so high that it doesnt matter how much damage it does, if you wave it towards something its head explodes 9 times out of 10 even if you shoot it in the foot

the starting rifle and semi auto rifle are basically identical except for fire rate though. the damage is so high on either that it kills most normal enemies in one shot even without a headshot or crit and on bosses why arent you using an RPG or magnum???

this gag was actually funny in Shaun of the Dead but only because they only did it once and largely did not refer to zombies anymore by name after that

Shit, I mean Erina, not Irisu.
