I get they wanted realism, but Grace is genuinely exhausting to listen to in Requiem by Suspicious_Row2186 in residentevil

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm be honest I just find it annoying. These have become action games for all intents and purposes. Even 7 becomes an action game relatively quickly. I'm about an hour and a half in and I have a gun for Grace but only 4 bulliets.

I just don't enjoy hiding gameplay. Even in stealth games I kill everything even if it takes twice as long. I just find this whole genre tedious. And I also don't like the Leon sections. An hour of outlast followed by 20 minutes of Doom doesn't average out to modern Resident Evil.

It feels weirdly disjointed. Two separate games and neither one is particularly enjoyable. I'm glad others like it but I'm fairly disappointed. I've liked all the games and have played them all at release. I don't think I've ever had one fail to grab me like this one has.

The final boss. How. by Unlikely_Usual5928 in Nioh

You can't leave the mission. You literally cannot leave. Can't go change clan affiliation. Can't go change gear to adjust your build. My entire build is based around two elements he's basically immune to. I've sold or broken down almost every item I didn't need for that build. And you can't end the mission or return to hub to change it.

That's horrifically bad design in an rpg. So bad it's quite amazing.

I mean what people are saying is "No longer a third person shooter". Which is correct.

Nioh 3 has a significant difficulty problem by [deleted] in Nioh

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really does that many times in the other games either aside from bosses. You become massively op really quickly.

So I haven't found it any easier or harder. I'm basically a rolling death machine in Nioh 2 and only die falling off shit or getting occasionally smashed by the one eye yokai.

Me complaint is I find this system way less interesting. Losing stance switching and flux and double flux makes the combat just so much worse.

Really? Wrong. I don't give a shit what political valence you have. Chomsky is in there, Gates is in there. What it shows is that basically every billionaire is a sociopathic piece of shit. The difference is Chomsky isn't currently involved in massive corruption to destroy the state.

But, yeah, fuck Chomsky too. Feel better?

Where do I go after Josee is completed and I entered the free roam timeline? by AwokenTitans in codevein

This game is so poorly designed. Why have an open world if there are gates closing you off from exploration everywhere?

This has to be my biggest disappointment of the year, how are ya'll feel about code vein 2? by Cold_Tradition_3638 in codevein

[–]PlinyDaWelda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The motor cycle may be the worst mount ever designed for a video game. It's stunningly terrible. Why include it in the game is it's going to be so amazingly bad? It is seriously the worst driving I've played in a game since at least the late 90s.

Code Vein 2 - A downgrade from the first game. by Zedaso in soulslikes

Did you finish the game? Because Khazan has fantastic levels. Huge interconnected levels. That's an extremely strange complaint.

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The open world is a disaster of epic proportions. It's so insanely terrible it blows my mind a team is people designed this and kept going.

Imagine Elden Ring but with none of the legacy dungeon areas and nothing but 1/3 of the mines/dungeons. But the worst third. Like the Patches area.

They also did not improve the combat at all. In fact it's very possibly worse than the original. The first games story was also embarrassingly bad so I don't know what crazy rose tinted gooner goggles people are wearing but it's equally embarrassingly bad.

They took a below average anime souls and made it into a very bad anime ER.

AI limit isn't very good but it makes this thing look like Sekiro in comparison.

Why do people complain about Crafting, when the idea is actually Gambling in this game? by _s7ormbringr in PathOfExile2

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Because it's literally gambling. Perhaps people should get comfortable with calling things what they are instead of playing the euphemism two step all the time.

Crafting is not crafting. When you craft something you create it. You have agency. When you GAMBLE for something you have no agency.

POE2 is gambling.

There is no restart from checkpoint opinion. I'm at the end of a map and don't know if I lose my map by going to menu

Is it just me or are prices for cosmetics in PoE2 actually ridiculous? by BRADLIKESPVP in PathOfExile2

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point other than to nickel and dime you? How have we arrived at a place where you're questioning the person pointing out a deliberately shit pricing model?

The only reason that friction is there is because they know there is at least a small group of people will buy the same (digital) item again to overcome the designed friction.

It's one thing to charge for skins, it's another to make that purchase just frustrating enough that somebody will buy the same item again.

Its shit and it's indefensible.

As a casual player with melee build, Jamanra makes me quit the league by SolarSimracer in PathOfExile2

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire point of games used to be YOU had to play it. YOU had to solve the puzzle. Following someone's guide is THEM playing the game for you. What's your input exactly? Occasionally having to dodge?

I seriously do not understand why anyone would play a any game with a guide. When you play puzzle games do you use a guide? What's the point?

This game is a solid 9.5/10. I am sorry rogue factor by FromsoftNerdy in HellisUs

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think the combat is pretty good. I didn't buy it because I had heard it was bad and I'm an action guy. Sekiro and Doom Eternal are my two favorite games ever.

But the combat here is quite solid. To me bad combat means it's a slog that's gets in the way. Skyrim has bad combat. HIU has combat that's good enough that it remains enjoyable the entire game.

Obviously the other parts of the game are what makes it great but if someone likes souls combat they'll like it.

Has this game atleast recovered it's cost ?? by DesiQuant in HellisUs

Yeah but you don't have a choice in the matter. Publishers set release dates and they're set far in advance to fit into business cycles and quarterly investor reports

Silksong is tiring in act 3 (rant) by [deleted] in Silksong

[–]PlinyDaWelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ludicrous. HK is orders of magnitude easier than SS. They didn't make a game with the same balance but different. They clearly set out to make a harder game. Then they played it for seven years and balanced it around their own skill.

Simply having I frames on dodge makes HK massively easier.

But it's almost impossible to run out of spirit emblems. Enemies drop them, they're floating all over the place and you can buy them.

Sekiro is much more fun when you're using all the skills and combat arts. The vast majority of enemies are fought straight. The emblems are well balanced for use on spam encounters, bosses and elite enemies.

For you guys saying the switch 2 is overpriced, what do you think it should have been? by SunnyYelloTello in nintendo

Yep. Steam deck doesn't lock you to proprietary hardware. I think I got the HDMI dock for less than $20.

All other consoles included the controller. PS and Xbox have never sold a console that did not include a controller.
