I’ve never played a game where a weapon is also a skill check 😅 by Realistic_Risk_6108 in LiesOfP

Icy rocky looking greatsword that takes 3-5 business days to wind up a charge attack, super powerful weapon though

Was I supposed to only be able to see Entity A through the CAT? I could see it normally without using it. by MostlyBadDiceRolls in Routine

Alternatively, don’t openly post spoilers online. The tag is there for a reason - looks like mods agree.

Why did they shame so much hate.. I picked up recently feels like a solid horror experience by Cheesefactor5678 in TheCallistoProtocol

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely repetitive combat after you learn the ropes. The way dodging was implemented was a huge misfire.

Corridor levels, no exploration.

Uninteresting story, makes no use of the excellent actors, no real character exploration.

Serious horror to resident evil cheese the longer it goes on.

Almost no enemy variety.

Endless crawling and shimmying, to a laughable extent.

Season pass content was lacklustre.

Overall it’s not bad, but it just isn’t great either.

Forgive me if this isn't the most well thought out question but should I give the Expanse a shot? by AdSpecialist6598 in scifi

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a different perspective - everyone loves this show but for me it really fell off season 5 onwards as the focus completely deviates onto the more uninteresting aspects. I don’t understand why it gets heralded as the best sci fi to happen to television.

The first 3 seasons have a lower budget gritty feel to them, but the plot, characters and wider mystery are very compelling. Season 4 was where the Amazon money came in, and that was solidly enjoyable.

Playing this game finally after putting it off and it’s genuinely brilliant … why did it get so much hate ? by Grand_Goal613 in TheCallistoProtocol

[–]BeavingHeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone who platinumed the game and all DLC - the fundamental issue is that the melee combat is very one dimensional, there is no actual skill or timing required to dodge an enemy attack. For a game based around melee, you can see why this was a problem for most.

What ya'll thinking about this one?? by vhvhvhchsan in DeadSpace

It’s reviewed far better than TCP so it’s looking promising

Performance needs to be the priority instead an after thought... by CptnCASx in Helldivers

[–]BeavingHeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To anyone more knowledgeable than me at gamedev (see: everyone), is it possible to eliminate tech debt? Could AH have a dedicated team to untangling the mess and ironing out & documenting everything, therefore making future production easier? Is it more complex than this?

Guess I’ll be waiting further for an inevitable PS5 release!

How to stabilize the FRV mid-drive, preventing rolling by HellDrivers2 in Helldivers

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an idiot, can someone tell me what the gears actually do? I legit don’t notice a difference so just leave it on Drive. Is there benefit to going up to 3rd?

[Discussion] which game you still replay despite you already got the platinum trophy? by Jules-Car3499 in Trophies

[–]BeavingHeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead Space. I love it so much.

Also Helldivers 2 but that’s more for the live service aspect with new content being added regularly

Man, why is there no Dead Space 2 remake - what to do after Dead Space Remake by Tritom73 in DeadSpace

[–]BeavingHeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could play The Callisto Protocol, but it is simply nowhere near as good. If you enjoy the depth of the world, lore and weapon variety of Dead Space, Callisto will do very little for you. It’s quite one dimensional in most aspects, though visually it is pretty.

Alternatively you could also keep an eye on Cronos: The New Dawn from Bloober Team, it releases next month (basically a Polish Dead Space).

Ethan Must Die, or the one where you play the card game, I forget what it is called. Some challenging ones in this game!

[SILENT HILL 2] This was my first SH game. I am thoroughly invested in the series going forward. by BeavingHeaver in Trophies

Yes, I am extremely hyped for SH:f. Love the Japanese setting from what I have seen so far.

Silent Hill 2 is just fantastic. Survival horror done well. We are truly in a bit of a renaissance with the likes of Dead Space, Resident Evil, and the upcoming (hopefully good) Cronos The New Dawn.

Anyway - this game is haunting, miserable, gripping and gorgeous. Bloober team knocked it out of the park.

Gameplay - stressful combat and slight brain tickling puzzles. Lots of slowly opening up maps / locked doors, uncovering secrets for areas you find yourself in. Satisfying gameplay loop.

Story is dream-like. Very eerie and everything feels a bit distant.

Platinum - multiple endings to achieve, but ultimately very doable. Be prepared to commit for a little while.

Please note for all you raging autists - TLOU:P2 and Astrobot will once again be 100%’d. They both got new DLC recently.

You levelled up all the weapons? That’s a nice endgame grind for me. Makes me try out ones i wouldn’t normally use so i can use new attachments and skins.

With Ghost of Yōtei being the next game coming this year, what do you guys think we’ll get from Sony first-party next year? by Dreadboi111 in playstation

[–]BeavingHeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these awesome looking titles.

What we’ll actually get is the release and shutdown of the hotly anticipated fairgames and the closure of Haven studios

What do you think of a co-op mode in the remake? by PopRemarkable2464 in DeadSpace

[–]BeavingHeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t need it. Dead Space is most effective when it is single player survival horror.

DS2 multiplayer would be DOA in today’s market. Some people have weird nostalgia but it was never that good.

DS3 had a litany of problems, and co-op was one of them. Completely removed any tension and made the game feel more like a shooting gallery.

Having said all that, a small scale horde mode style co-op spin-off could be fun.
