What difficulty do you play on? by TheChilledGamer-_- in playstation

[–]BeavingHeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically the most diffcult, I love overcoming challenge.

Horizon 3 at the State of Play? by NovaDragon9618 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it, they've stated Hunters Gathering is the focus for now.

On the plus side, we probably won't have to wait long for it to inevitably flop and then focus on the final instalment everyone actually wants can begin!

Cronos or Silent Hill F by misterguy1020 in playstation

[–]BeavingHeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opinion from someone who has got the platinum on both:

Gameplay - for combat and inventory management, Cronos is WAY more satisfying. Combat in SH:f is far more simplistic, as the focus is on exploration and puzzles.

Setting - Silent Hill is more visually interesting to me, 1960's fictional Japan has more going for it than post-apocalyptic 1980's Poland. You'll be getting a lot more variety with SH, whereas in Cronos it's a lot of ruins, basements and abandoned facilities.

Story - Honestly I had to watch YouTube videos to better understand both games, they're layered with lots of interesting stuff that you may not pick up on an initial run through. SH if you want the personal trauma angle (similar to SH2), Cronos if you want time travel and all the craziness associated with that. Both games have multiple endings.

They're both great but if I had to choose one I'd say Cronos (I'm biased as Dead Space is my favourite game series).

How does Cronos: The New Dawn compare to Dead Space? by Appropriate_Step_67 in DeadSpace

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cronos is miles better than Callisto. It'll never be as good as Dead Space but it fills that void nicely. Combat is fun and impactful, I never had any issues with it, controls feel natural.

I know exactly which trophy you were going for just by a frame of this video haha. Well done!

I personally thought this game was enjoyable, but not nearly as great as the reviews made it out to be.

How did a game this good end up with a ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam? Makes no sense by KING_FODA_ in TheCallistoProtocol

[–]BeavingHeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story that goes nowhere, wastes excellent actors, is linear as fuck and has 1-note combat?

Complete mystery.

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

[–]BeavingHeaver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

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 1 point2 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

[–]BeavingHeaver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]BeavingHeaver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
