what games do you find overrated??????????????!?!?!?!?!

i played a few hours of Mario Odyssey for the first time, and I'm soooo bored. Everything feels so empty and devoid of enemies. and it's so easy, and the moons are so unsatisfying to collect due to being everywhere

Witcher 2 had a far better story. I despise open world and wish they stuck with linear maps.

>>44491
I like open word sandboxes, but it just doesnt fit the story of Witcher and Gerald as character. He is a fantasy janito/traveling folk hero, not Elder Scrolls protagonist who would spend his time crawling through ancient ruins for loot and XP. Also the bizzarnes of profesional monster slayer getting 1 hit killed by shitty drowners because enemy level is utterly independend of their species.
If they wanted to make open world witcher game, they should have made Ciri the protagonist, we knew nothing of her character which would give player much more freedom on how to build her and or what choices to take in quests.

>>44492
you're in luck fam witcher 4 has Ciri as the protagonist

>>44505
Yeah, but she is already an established character from Witcher 3, so you dont get the clean slate protagonist that fits into open world games.

all of them tbh

i stopped caring about videogames years ago and my interest never came back

they just feel like pointless busywork to me now

Implying she wrote this comment there then deleted it and the whole discussion

it was made by a 4channer with a hateboner against her
none of it is real
if she had really posted something like that it would have been archived by an actual archive site like archive.org

>>44464
>She never confirmed it was fake
Ive seen screenshot where she says it bullshit, so I have as much proof as you do

Screenshots without links are worthless.

could be true tbh, if you delete a comment from disqus it does completely delete it and havent dug around if anyone archived it

>Metroid Prime 4 is open world with a motorcycle
Literally everything is open world slop now. Even a series that named the genre where you explore intricate interconnected levels.

No Man's Sky pissed me off so hard
People said that it was so good after they added more stuff to it but when I tried it on gamepass shit sucked
The epitome of a mile wide and an inch deep

>>44355
funny because NMS had still nothing to offer ,even after it became a "real" game,unless you specifically like exploring randomly generated content,with all the planets all having more or less the same materials,which is still the case to this day btw,the new world generation was like one year ago at best.

I'm gonna blame the weirdos who said actually Wind Waker's ocean was good.

>>44355
If you like empty open world space games you're better off with Noctis IV or Space Engine, both of which are actually empty. No pointless resource grind, no enemies, just you and a sense of discovery.

>>44454
Wind Waker's ocean could have been good if they figured out something engaging to do between islands or made travel signficiantly faster when you're in the space between them. The distances between the islands is fine by itself and makes the place feel appropriately big.

This is usually the problem with open worlds - not enough content to justify the size. Which is to say to justify the additional time it takes to get between points of interest.

Has anyone here played Silent Hill F?

The body was too short or empty.

No because it's a Souls-like game disguised as a horror game and an affront to the entire Silent Hill series.
I don't give a fuck how good or bad the story is, Silent Hill is not fucking Dark Souls and the fact that the dev team implemented a hack and slash combat system into what is supposed to be an atmospheric horror game is ridiculous.

>it has a costume system
ahah,at least it's not made by koei tecmo so they stopped themselves from putting fetish outfits

>>44458
>Dark Souls
>hack and slash
These are 2 very different things and SHf is neither.
Combat isn't nearly dark souls level hard, but I do agree there's too many enemies at certain parts.

Very important note before any of you start NG+:
DO NOT USE THE PILLS. USING PILLS EVEN JUST ONCE IN AN NG+ LOCKS YOU OUT OF ALL NEW ENDINGS.
I only found this out the hard way, don't repeat my mistake.

I'm playing it rn. Im a pretty big SH fan and I think its a genuinely close contender for one of the series best entries. The combat doesn't resemble souls like games in really any capacity, if anything the combat is like Ocarina of Time or something. All the scares have felt very earned by the game and didn't come off as forced or overdone and it genuinely had me jump and yell FUCK more than a handful of times.
The only real complaint that I have is that I wish there were more enemy types. There's like 5 basic enemy types each with an otherworld counterpart, not counting bosses. I feel like I'm the older games there was a lot of variety with enemies so you couldn't always know what you were going to have next and this game doesn't really have that.
I still think the game is worth checking out if youre a j-horror/silent hill fan. There have definitely been far worse entries in this series and this isnt one of them.



 

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

Why is every UE5 game so fucking buggy graphically?
Also some weird lighting effect or stuttering or some bs going off. Unoptimised trash generator.

>>44371
UE5 came at the worst possible time because lumen and nanite came with the promise of reducing work among developers, just as the entirety of the IT industry sees lay offs as a good thing. This is why everything ever is using UE5, even among studios that had spent copious amount of money developing their own engines and pipelines. What you're seeing is people making do with whatever automated lighting solution UE5 is offering because they dont have time for anything else, and the results are good enough for management.

I'm trying to test out Crisis in the Kremlin:Cold War.
I was terrible at managing the budget in my first run so I got couped in '86

Just completed Silent Hill f.
Very good horror game with a very interesting story, with the main gripes being graphical glitches that need patching out and there being an excessively high amount of enemies at some points.
Each playthrough takes 10-12 hours depending on how much of a completionist you are. But the it takes 3 playthroughs to get the full picture, with the story expanding and changing significantly with each subsequent playthrough.
So really, you aren't done with the story until you've done NG++. Which is kind of similar to Armoured Core 6, if you've played that.
After the first playthrough and first ending you'll probably be thinking "huh?" and have some questions and confusion, maybe feel like it didn't end on any real conclusion. But… by the time you finish the true ending you'll be like 😯.

>>44433
Okay I did 2 other runs, one where I was doing alright until about '94 when the economy collapsed due to Brazil, Mexico and Japan cutting off trade, followed by not having enough army/special forces support to stop Ukraine from seceding and the constant nationalist riots.

I played the second run way more conservatively than the previous one, keeping a stable Warsaw pact with Yugoslavia and Albania in COMECON. I did have some issues with military high command loyalty and not researching the higher end of mil tech until late, so I didn't wrap up Afghanistan, Nicaragua and Angola until very late. I really wish my earlier bid to end the Sino-Soviet split didn't fail or that the civil wars wrapped up faster so I could help out the Chinese military coup.
It's a good game and I appreciate that they made it more legible than Ostalgie or the original (I did not play the latter).

For real life military tactics, well tactics are actually pretty ancient. The historical cause for large scale formations and mass marches was mainly caused by either poor education among common soldiers or weapons too heavy/large to carry easily. Otherwise, squad level tactics, raids, deception warfare, mobility, and other “tacticool” nonsense has been a part of war for eons or possibly thousands of years. The main enabler is usually mobility for infantry soldiers to avoid having to rely on mobs of slow moving men for battles.
I don’t see why in nearly every RTS game I’ve seen, seemingly everything revolves around post feudal era mob tactics you’d find from countries like Britain, Germany, or the USA before it started getting into formal warfare. Am I just missing something?

Honestly the only RTS game I played a lot of was Planetary Annihilation and I just played the biggest casual team battles that would go on for hours and I would roleplay the whole thing and zoom in on the battles that would be like gallipoli or the skirmishes in destroyed cities and I would pretend I was zipping through them in ODM gear.

>zero-k
I've yet to play a spring engine RTS that wasn't macroslop and BAR has more players than zero-k.

>Starcraft is perfect and no other game comes close
Can't queue unit production for no good reason.
>MOBAs added tons of RNG and PVE so that matches would become complete coinflips which permanently ruined the RTS genre forever.
Completely misses why MOBAs ruined RTS which is appealing to APM obsessed autists.

Always saw RTS's as "Chess with ants"
>>44401
I think Real Time Tactics would be like Arknights if you couldn't just helidrop operators and they had to run to the tile you're deploying them to.

>>44443
>doesn't like macro
>doesn't like apm-intensive micro
you are either baiting, confused about what you actually want, or have a massive skill issue
roblox has more players than any rts, what's your point. the difference between zero-k and bar is the scripting capabilities and the focus on asymmetric warfare and emergent gameplay. you can delegate macro or micro to the ai depending on your play style. ta was all about macro

Is it weird if I love short VNs but I can't really get into long ones with branching paths? I don't like doing the different paths because it feels like I am betraying my favourite characters, I don't want to go with the ones I don't like. Planetarian is my favourite VN for this reason. Also I was thinking of playing Chaos Head but I can't find a translation.

>>44432
Have you played a Type-Moon VN yet? The sex scenes in tsukihime can be a bit grating, yet otherwise it's a fine mystery novel. It uses branching, mostly unrelated, paths to make the narrative feel more extensive, while remaining introspective and small in scope. Fate Stay/Night does this even more effectively, but as the progenitor of the Fate franchise its setting isn't as intriguing as it should be, feeling more fantastical in contrast to tsukihime albeit still very anime-edgy and nasu. In any case playing with a guide is usually the right choice for non-dating, non-gimmicky VNs.

Oh, and at the moment i'm playing Dies Irae. It's utter chuuni dreg, but it also has a few great fights and passably well-written heroines, so i'm not complaining.

I was more talking about the trans stuff in arknights but yeah true when there's gay couples in gachas they don't do much with it really.

>>44322
I don't know, this kind of looks like a mess. I hate the zero personality generic anime guy + i hate the annoying loli + it has too many mechanics + the mechanics it has were probably executed better in the other games it's borrowing from.

I was gonna >meme arrow all the stupid shit I was seeing but I gave up after a couple minutes. This looks like the most soulless slop I've ever seen.
>but the gameplay trailer looks too ambitious and filled up with content
It looks like there is absolutely no vision for the game whatsoever and the mechanics probably don't really interact in a meaningful way and it's like a dozen different games stitched together.

The dialogue feels like it was written and performed by AI too.

>>44421
Yeah the old Project Mugen trailers seemed a lot more grounded: Saints Row with some cut scenes and characters with a mix of combat styles. Grapple hooks were there but not so much of a focus that it drowns out everything else and obsoletes other modes of transport. More character driven.

Also what the fuck I thought this was pre-COVID, not 2 years ago??

>>44414
You can probably get a 16 petabyte drive for like $5 over there.

The console, the entire idea of online in 1999, the entirety of Shenmue as a project as the most expensive game ever, something that seemed like it was always possible to make its money back

By all metrics this thing was always gonna be a moneysink. A kind hearted Japanese capitalist named Isao Okawa bankrolled it, lost money and still bailed the company out and forgave alot of their debt.

It brought joy to many people and was inspirational to many who experience it…but at the end of the day, it was more like art installitaion more than a convential video game console sold as a toy
