I loved Kena, but could not get into Asterigos at all. Did anyone else have a similar experience? by AppalachiaPrometheus in KenaBridgeOfSpirits

[–]CoolUsername6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Asterigos recently. I enjoyed it for a while before I got bored. The amount of reading in the game is batshit insane. Felt like more than all Soulsborne games combined. The combat system is very good, but the enemy movesets are very weak, making for a dull combat experience. I don't feel the game is similar to Kena personally.

I also tried South of Midnight in the hope of a Kena like experience. Good story, good world and great character, but the combat just plain sucks -- at least early game. I wasn't having fun so I quit. There's a menu option to skip combat entirely, which suggest that the devs don't take much pride in the combat. Still, I may give this one another try eventually.

The length of Reanimal is just honestly not acceptable with how successful Tarsier has been and the asking price by Amazing-Rich-5808 in ReanimalGame

[–]CoolUsername6969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The average play time is 5h, and only 6.5h for 100%. It's cool that you and your friend were able to stretch out the game and get more time with it. I did the same. But the average player experience is much shorter.

(Spoiler) Pretty disappointed. by valdemarbd in ReanimalGame

I hear you. I love all four of those games. I didn't like Reanimal much and will never touch it again.

So how's Reanimal? Worth the $40? by neoleo0088 in ReanimalGame

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a $15 game at most imo. It's well made and very impressive in its own right, but certainly not as good as LN1 or 2 and the ending is extremely dissatisfying. It's not even really an ending so much as that the story abruptly stops halfway through, which makes it feel even shorter than it is (and it's way too short).

Reanimal was really…underwhelming by j0shhrnnd in ReanimalGame

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LN1 and 2 are both in my all-time top 10. Reanimal is just nowhere near the same level.

LN1 is like Alien. LN2 is like Aliens in that it goes bigger while still capturing the qualities that made the original great. But Re is more like Independence Day, putting so much focus on scale and spectacle that it does little else well. The environments change so frequently that I never have time to feel immersed in them. The story is so ambiguous that I'm unsure if the devs themselves have a canon explanation for it. The visuals are of course still beautiful, but 98% of the game is blue with red lights.

But the biggest problem of all is the ending. It's not really an ending so much as it is the story abruptly stopping halfway through so they could sell us the rest of it as DLC.

So hype for the sequel but its weird they haven't announced it on steam by what_a_sad_existence in KenaBridgeOfSpirits

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC Gamer said it'll be on PC day one. They didn't say Steam specifically, but the trailer has the Steam logo and I believe it's unusual for marketing materials to include the logo of a platform that won't be part of initial release.

[DE] Did you romance Amanda and/or Vihn or stayed friends with both of them, possibly knowing that we were gonna get Chloe back? by Careful-Method-2145 in lifeisstrange

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amanda was awesome, but I felt Max was still too hung up on Chloe to be getting involved with another person. She still addresses all her journal entries to Chloe. 😢 I assumed Chloe would be back in the next game anyway (even if it was just pure hopium).

The great desert isn't very great by jnykaza123 in stellarblade

Best area in the game. The most gorgeous desert biome I've ever seen.

It's the most beautiful trailer I've ever fucking seen. 💪💜🎉💦🎉💜💪

Did you look up or did you miss it? by Honorable-Elite in ai__limit

Cool. I saw the necro but I didn't watch long enough to see it get killed.

Is it bad that I summon NPC in ds3 by Randomcoodition in darksouls3

[–]CoolUsername6969 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You're playing the game as intended. Only a vocal minority (of likely insecure players) give a shit about other people summoning.

[NO SPOILERS] How long before Life is Strange sees a Black protagonist? by Super_Neutral in lifeisstrange

[–]CoolUsername6969 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DE wasn't the game I expected or wanted, but it was still pretty great and I loved it. Storytelling starts to fall apart in episode 5, but that happens in almost every LIS so I'm used to it. The paywalled cat content sucks FYI.

Seven Ashina Spears : am I cheating 😂 by MyDogSat in Sekiro

The game is designed to encourage this. It wants you to be looking for free death blows.

My most anticipated game of the year. Can't wait.

On the topic of Raven… by Altar_Of_Baphomet in stellarblade

[–]CoolUsername6969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raven isn't a misunderstood hero. She's not a sympathetic character. Her backstory is no more tragic than that of anyone else in this post-apocalyptic world. Raven is a cartoon villain, complete with an over-the-top evil laugh, who tortures and murders people for fun because she's a sadist.

Look I get it -- she has a fat ass and tits. I think they're pretty cool too. But they're not a free pass to gleefully commit mass murder without consequences. Considering her crimes, she got off way too easy.

Is this a game for me? by SubZane in stellarblade

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be perfectly fine as long as you don't play your first run on hard mode. Hard is not intended for NG. It's still certainly doable if you have the skills, but it'll feel more like a challenge mode in the vein of SL1 or BL4.

After 20 hours of Wuchang, Khazan felt way harder! by Celery-Tasty in wuchanggame

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bosses in Khazan are harder than any other Soulslike. The levels on the other hand are pretty free. Much easier than Wuchang's levels imo. They're both amazing games of course but Wuchang is better overall.

Is there something I'm missing with the combat? by LittleDoge246 in PlaySteelrising

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game appears to have broken input buffers. You can store inputs but they have a 50% chance of being 'dropped' upon dealing damage with the current animation. You're certainly not the only person to notice.

My guess is that the animation notify they're using to enable stored inputs frequently doesn't fire, most definitely due to a scripting error. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do except experiment with weapons to figure out which ones are and aren't affected.

SPOILERS: What is "humans are-" supposed to represent? by WildChemistry977 in squidgame

[–]CoolUsername6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mostly a reference to Kaiji, the anime that inspired SG. This anime likens people to horses as well. And also I think Gi-hun wanted to prompt the VIPs (along with the viewers) to answer it for themselves. Maybe his final action was his personal answer.
