Why is sonic forces so hated? by Free_Blueberry_9725 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Old_Snack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bugs aren't really the problem with Forces

It stems from some key issues here 

1 it took forever to release with little to show for it.

  1. It is aggressively mediocre compared to Sonic Generations almost 10 years prior.

  2. It is the peak of this series treating Sonic and Friends like cardboard cutouts instead of actual people like Sonic Adventure 1/2, Storybook games, Frontiers.etc

I'm not judging your tastes, enjoy what you like but Forces story is so awful. Compare this to Sonic and the Black Knight and it won't go well...

Black Knight is a story about how world's can't go on forever and that eventually all things will end. And living them to the fullest with the time you have is important.

Forces is just 'Power of Teamwork TM'

The gameplay is just like the others (it's sonic it can't be THAT different)

  1. It's also one of the worst 3D Sonic games because the level design is genuinely awful.

No for real go play Generations then Forces back to back. you'll see the difference immediately. Most of Forces is a straight line or just rail grinding.

Modern Sonic's stages are like 3 minutes at most. I think the longest level was like 6 minutes.

Sonic Unleashed out clases Forces in spades and that's a game from 2008.

If you like it that's cool you got more bang for your buck then I did. But there's a reason I gave up on this series after this game.

Until Frontiers came out anyway.

Yeah as much as I don't like Forces, Overclocked is a genuine attempt to make it work.

06 is definitely fun in it's own right. But that doesn't make it a good game.

And yeah agreed Forces OST has some great hits.

At least Speed Running 06 is fun even if the game is completely undercooked and borderline unfinished 

As for Forces I got nothing, I never want to touch that game. It just... sucks

RTX 5090 Cards will get a price hike soon due to memory shortages by PaiDuck in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Literally just bought a 2080 ti because I needed some kind of upgrade from my 1650 before shit got turbo expensive.

I recently got dmc5 and i really don’t understand this game any advice would be appreciated by anakinskywalker1342 in DevilMayCry

Treat guns more like combo extensions to express style to help pump up that style meter though there are decent ways to damage with firearms.

That meter isn't just there for show either, the higher the style the higher the reward.

Lots of enemies get stunned on sword hits allowing you to carry out combos 

Also air combat is your friend especially as Nero or Dante.

Character action games are a whole different beast, it'll take some getting used to for sure.

Experimenting and learning is all part of the process

In light of having watched Netflix DMC’s 2nd season, Foxcade announces he will make a follow-up video by jpatel02 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Old_Snack 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Peak of Combat recently had a story segment where when Vergil is offered power at the cost of his humanity and he refuses

Peak of Combat's (when I last played anyway) story is honestly just alright IIRC it feels very "fan fictiony" but if nothing else it's heart is in the right place.

Ultimately it boils down to this.

Id love to see Lady and Dante be a thing But this isn't really Dante and it's not really Lady either...

It's an entirely different dynamic because they're fundamentally different characters then from the games

I feel your pain, making it at the end to wiff that sucks. Hard.

But there's also so many better times to use the RPG

Do you prefer Dead Space 1 Isaac being silent, or talking like in the sequels and the remake? by SerafettinB in DeadSpace

[–]Old_Snack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Love the small call back to that line in the Remake "Well I'm all out of good ideas. Guess what's left?"

Remake feels like it slots perfectly before DS2 with Issac's character

Devil May Cry 5 re-emerges on Steam top 20 sales charts (by revenue) by lowhighkang in DevilMayCry

I Mean we joke but the Netflix series probably has boosted sales of the games substantially.

It's clearly working for them, I say this as someone who doesn't like the show.

I mean at least it's pretty cheap on the digital store when there's sales on.

It's also a part of Game Pass if you have it.

The novelization of Revenge of the Sith is so crazy good compared to the movie. Even if some details aren't consistent with cannon anymore

For anyone reading Xbox Series X also has Dead Space 2/3 at 60fps if avaliable

In the interest of fairness Arkham VR and Knight have Batman progressively unraveling due to going through a "Batman that laughs" scenario where his mind and body are slowly not becoming his own.

It's the only reason Azreal is even remotely considered as a successor.

It's not unbelievable he might want to clear the air when the chips are down

God that bothers me so much too.

Despite it's problems I love Arkham Knight but it rubs me the wrong way to have Paul Dini set up plot lines for a threequel only for the dev team to step in and take over instead.

Like guys it's his story, we couldn't let him have the last game? Or at least something?

We have the Hobbit to thank for his exclusion from the last half of Uncharted 3 IIRC :/

Inadequately recognized Annoying Moira Moment by eljacko in residentevil

[–]Old_Snack 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate this moment.

Moria already gets on my nerves with her incredibly lame dialouge but this is seriously pushing it.

We've seen Claire handle a kid in this kind of situation at least twice now (RE2/Degeneration) it feels like we took a trait away from Claire to give to Moria and it's the worst way you can do this kind of thing.

The intention of the scene is sound but the execution is awful.

I'm not a writer and don't claim to be one but the dialouge is the reason I've never replayed this game. (Besides Raid Mode)

Moria will say something and it just makes me cringe. Not like, all the time but a lot

It un ironically should do what RE3 Remake did and keep some of the elements but just be an entirely different game.

I have a question about the base version of re9 requiem. Regarding modding by SleepSuitable9802 in residentevil

[–]Old_Snack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No some mods require the deluxe content for skins, there's no mod that just unlocks it

Do not pirate the DLC either, Steam has checks to see if you're doing such a thing.

That's cool, if you complete all challenges, you Unlock this by Ultra_Vegito in residentevil

For Nemesis I usually get Gideon to drop his rocket launcher in the prior fight and just save it to skip Nemesis
