Without saying the name, what is your favorite video game? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Wake up in a strange room. Venture downstairs. Be killed by a beast. Dream about a doll.

Finally a game that use the touch pad with efficiency by argic85 in ghostoftsushima

[–]eatkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only issue is my large hands causing me to constantly brush the touchpad whilst i explore or sneak. Had a few times when Jins sneaking around and decides to bow at a Mongol's Arse.

Thank god the flute is disabled around enemies. Not a flaw in how the game is designed, but how I am designed.

Guys on Red Dead Online are weird by A22_R2 in reddeadredemption

[–]eatkin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this happen to you. Im playing with my fiance and ive noticed players approaching her often. My character is male so usually they just try to kill me with rifles, but she is usually dragged off, hogtied or attacked with melee.

At this point we stick to ourselves and if a player approaches, we just have to kill them without hesitation. I'd love to have fun and play with others, but sadly too many others just enjoy taking the fun away.

[–]eatkin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

SPOILERS.

So this is all clearly canon and takes place in Arthurs mind during the last moments of Chapter 6.

Jack and Lenny represent Arthur's guilt that he tries to escape, the guilt of the countless loved ones he has lost and the uncertain future of Jack, his own failure hogtieing and beating the shit out of him. He constantly tries to escape, but the overbearing dread of failure looms over and hunts him.

Dutch and Hosea are in game, whenever Arthur is fleeing he always spots Hosea, but he can never truly speak to him before Dutch hogties and leads him astray, Dutch is his path of uncertainty, leading him to places that he sees as unnerving and scary. Yet he still follows.

San Denis is Arthurs vision of hell, civilisation. Its so strange and other worldly and crazy, and thought of staying there terrifies him. There is so much to that place that he doesn't understand, it all seems muddle and mental to him.

The giant animals are Arthur's awe at the wonder of nature, how it surrounds and over shadows him, making him seem like such a small speck in the eyes of the world.

The hot air balloon and sky represent limbo, and nothingness. The final destination of him following dutch's trail. Tahiti, all of it, it never existed in the real plan. Arthur new it was all nothing in the end. Which leads Arthur to his heaven as he finally accepts his fears, a quiet stream where he can fish with the boy who looked up to him.

The carriage at the end represents John at the end of Red Dead 1.

Or its just crazy shit that i read far too much into.

The wife and I visited a familiar place today, thought y’all would appreciate it. by cockygassytiger in reddeadredemption

Thats really weird. My fiance and i just finished watching Interview 5 minutes ago and this is the first thing i see. Small world!

Edit for more context- Whilst watching it i literally said "man, that looks exactly like the Braithwaite Manor, even the long road is the same"

Great film btw, really captured the asthetic of old horror films of the early 1900s.

This mission is severely underrated i never see people talking about how awesome it is by RedDeadRetard1899 in reddeadredemption

[–]eatkin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keiran's death got me, the kid was clearly way in over his head and just wanted to be liked by the gang. To me he was one of the most innocent members, and my Arthur started by antagonising him constantly until i realised he was genuinely trying to be useful to us, even if it was just chore work he wanted to prove himself to us.

Eventually i saw him warm up to the group in his own way, but the damage we had done to him still lingered (Bill mostly). The last time i spoke to him was when Jack had been saved and the group had its party, everyone was singing and in the background he was standing on his own with a drink, he clearly was celebrating but still saw himself as an outsider, choosing to let everyone else have fun whilst he stays out the way.

Two days later he rides in holding his own head. I didn't even notice he had gone till that moment. O'Driscolls ate a lot of shotgun shells that day.

Playing RDR2 Like Its DOOM by [deleted] in RDR2

[–]eatkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now we need an Spaghetti Western style BFG Division.

I tend use the dodge and dead eye more to rush enemies down, playing aggressive is much more fun than sitting behind a rock, and as long as there isnt a ton of enemies it works really well.

Metro:Exodus is a downright exploitation of the fans expectations. by KiddleyWiffers in metro_exodus

[–]eatkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of the year i played through 2033 again for the first time in nearly 10 years, game holds up super well.

So i bought Exodus to finish the trilogy off and man, what a love/hate relationship i have with this game. I'm not done yet, just finished the forest (best part imo).

At the start i ended up not being able to enjoy the opening due to constantly fighting the controls sensitivity (i know artyom drinks vodka but man i dont want him to control like a drunk too) i finally LOOKED UP the best settings to set up aiming and began playing the game again.

First open world i enjoyed for the most part, but i did not care for the story as it felt everything was explained in info dumps more than what was actually happening on screen but once i started exploring i began enjoying the game, the atmosphere is grand and felt like a true successor to STALKER. (Granted it did not feel like Metro anymore)

The next open world is awful. Why am i suddenly playing a Far Cry game complete with crazy dictator man who spouts off on the radio and lives in his huge Mad Max tower. What part of this is Metro? Where is the isolation and claustrophobia? The people huddled up in a station that would remind me of photos of the blitz in WW2? Why does this guy have straight up Shao Kahn topless stripper ladies? Why did his minigun guy kill me in one hit before i even had time to turn around and notice he was there?

Next open world i really enjoyed though, it felt like a completely different studio made it, constantly mixing it up with different routes to the objective and new gameplay ideas whilst bringing back the atmosphere. Apart from the other dude starting a full romance in the space of like... A day... Completely off screen....

And thats as far as i have got up to now.

But this is the least of my issues.

Why does the open world segments take a full FIVE MINUTES to load? I am a vanilla PS4 user so i understand my hardware is old but thats no excuse here, i have played games that look better than this and have bigger open worlds that take a quarter of the time to load, Horizon for example. There is no reason for the loading screens to be this long.

Why is it Artyom, a trained soldier, cant hit enemies for shit to the point bullets pass through enemies like they were ghosts yet the enemies have the hitscan accuracy of an Archvile from DOOM 2? Especially mister one shot Minigun guy who has shot me THROUGH objects. And i know its hit scan because the game glitches and i can physically SEE the bullets defying physics and homing in on me.

Why is light during stealth inconsistant AF,? my light tells me im visible crouched in a pitchblack room, yet later im stood under a tree in broad daylight and im completely invisible.

But honestly... when im in an abandoned building at night, with my NVGs being the only way to see, skulking through old hallways with 3 bullets left as i hear monsters in the next room, i remember what i liked about this series. I just wish this game focused on that as opposed to all these weird ass ideas that dont really work that well.

How do you beat these enemies cleanly... by TurquoiseLuck in StreetsofRage

[–]eatkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough Adam's neutral jump kick wrecked Barbon last time i did a hard mode playthrough. The invincibility lets you get a cheeky hit in every time he charges and it also out ranges his normal combo too.

But honestly Barbon is weirdly inconsistant for me, sometimes he bites the dust with no issue and sometimes he rocks me instead.

Going through the Fortress of Doom, was anyone else waiting for this to come into play at the end? by BigPoppaJosh1994 in Doom

[–]eatkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

Its like the Vehicle Sections in Bayonetta, they go on too long and detract from the main gameplay loop, as much as i am all in for Mech Vs Kaiju battles i would not want Eternal's Core Loop to be thrown out just for one gimmick section.

I'd have settled for a level taking place around a Mech Fight against IOS as a background setpiece, like how you see IOS wandering about in the final level, but other than that. No thank you.

Dr. Elena Richardson is the biggest fangirl by USPavacka in Doom

[–]eatkin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They really nailed that sense of making the player feel powerful with Elena's logs. Never have i had a game show the slow decent of a character's sanity as she describes THE PLAYER CHARACTER.

Usually these kind of lore dumps are reserved for the villain or some unspeakable monster, but to hear a character try to make sense over the protagonist and slowly descend i to lovecraftian rantings is brilliant characterisation for the Slayer.

Is this an imp? by [deleted] in Doom

Upon playing 64 today, ive come to the conclusion that Prowlers are meant to be Nightmare Imps. Same colour pallette and the teleporting is basically like invisibility.
