Ultimate Videogame Topic 3: The Next Generation

[Kcdaspot]

Holy Guacamelee is fucking ridiculous.

I mean the amount of shit you gotta do in midgame in order to progress... im talking like in the tall tree and the war temple.

i actually said aloud "welp, glad to know the bullshit-fuck-you-level-design 9000 kicked in."

[Parama]

It's not that hard by platformer standards :V

[CooLDoG]

fine have my $20

[Natirasha]

This is kinda a longshot, but is anyone going to Quakecon next week?

[CooLDoG]

So I beat mafia II. An otherwise great game that seemed like it lacked one or two missions at the end. I think production on this game must have been cut short. Because is the PC going to sit back and lay low after they killed his best friend after he MURDER 100s of people for less? I think not. So one game down several more to go for this bundle... yay.

[CooLDoG]

So I'm playing Bioshock 1 right now and I think this game is a piece of shit. I hate this game. At first I thought I would like it. More maze like. More oldschool. But no, this game is shit. 1 hour in and I'm done with this game. And here is why:

The fucking vita chambers can suck my dick. Either do checkpoints correctly or not all. Period. end of story. I thought, hay, normal check point system so I don't have to quick save my game, right? "NOPE, AND FUCK YOU" says the game. SO I fight the first big daddy and lose because that is what happens wen you fight a new enemy... and where does it spawn me after death? All the way across the fucking map. But I didn't get pissed off because I found out I was right by the exit to the next level, "sweet, this system works!" but the game retorts, "No, fuck you, go back and kill the big daddy because you need 'adam' otherwise you are going to be underpowered, so go back you stupid fuck." I say, "okay whatever, I have ap bullets, so fine, suck my dick big daddy". So I walk back and find where he was and he was half health like a left him, "cool this vita system works! even though it was badly place it is cool!!!" The game responds, "No fuck you, fight another one. Yeah, I'll replay the same scripted moment for you so go kill it again. Fuck you, I hate you player." So fine, no more AP bullets left, but I've played a shit ton of this type of game so the damage I do doesn't matter, I can dodge it all day and ping away at it with normal bullets. So reincarnated big daddy goes down. Now where is the little sister that I fought this bitch for. "Hahahahahahah" says the game, "You see now I bugged up the game for you so you can't find her. Fuck you. I made you waste all of your ammo, health kits, and magic potions. How do you like dem apples ass hole?" At this point I quit the game. Because any game that tells me to go do something and then bugs out after having me walk halfway through an empty level that responds enemies that I have already killed can give me a blow job while sticking three fingers up my anus while singing hail to the chief all while pissing itself.

So yeah, fuck bioshock. It is a stupid game that is poorly designed and sure as hell never play tested outside of the dev team. SO fuck whoever made this piece of shit. I hate your guts. Maybe I'll play bioshock 2. Maybe they get better as they go along.

[Parama]

short answer: you're biased because something dumb happened specifically to you, and it's not poorly designed and plenty playtested
as someone who doesn't even like FPSes much this is all still pretty clear to me

[Vi]

Somewhat off-topic question.

I'm intrigued by the -idea- of Kirby Triple Deluxe but it greatly resembles Return to Dream Land, which I found... kind of soulless for the first half of the game, never mind easy and rather repetitive.

Since it's Kirby I'm pretty resigned to "easy" but as long as it's an evocative experience (Crystal Shards, Epic Yarn) or fun to play (Super Star, Amazing Mirror) I'll probably enjoy it.

With that in mind, should I go for it?

Any game that has respawning enemies on normal difficulty that relies on back tracking is not a well thought out game. Any game that tells you to walk through the maze backwards after a checkpoint is not a well thought out game. Any game that respawns enemies after death and keeps the old ones there is not a well thought out game. Any game that tells you will be underpowered unless you walk backwards through a maze you just finished is not a well thought out game. The game is basically an attempt at making DOOM meets System Shock 2 and fails epically.

[Parama]

Big daddy's don't respawn if I remember correctly. And were always in an area the first time you came upon that area so there should be no need to backtrack. It's your fault that you went ahead without killing the big daddy. Plus there's multiple checkpoints in most areas, just find a closer checkpoint. You're blaming the game for your faults. I'm not going to claim it's an amazing perfect game by any means but you're being entirely unreasonable in your criticisms here.

uh this doesn't happen

[Anatole Kuragin]

This is kinda a longshot, but is anyone going to Quakecon next week?

Thought about it, going to a show saturday and watching TI4 the rest of the weekend though.

[Anatole Kuragin]

I wasn't a big fan of bioshock either, and 2 is shit. didn't play infinite

[AGar]

Just started the first one. It's mildly disturbing thus far. The Little Sisters are one of those psychological things that bug the shit out of me.

[CooLDoG]

uh this doesn't happen

uh it happened to me. I'm probably going to restart the game and play through it again but this time quick save instead of using those stupid check points.

[Gammagooey]

^he's talking about you commenting on how bioshock 2 and beyond might get better

[xRECKONERx]

to be fair I think Infinite is pretty good but BS2 isn't great no

[Maruchan]

Cook, Serve, Delicious!
https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=GyMYZyZFHk6ERdqN

A really great addicting frustrating restaurant simulator game where you have to "cook" meals by pressing corresponding keys to the ingredients. It's quite fun actually.

free code. First come first serve.


Please, don't accept this one unless you've actually looked at the game and truly want to play it, as this is a game I personally already own and play, and want to pass on the awesome to some other kindred spirit.

[Chevre]

I'm not taking the key, but definitely a bundle worth looking at. I've also heard good things about Tropico 4 and of course Euro Truck Simulator 2 in this thread.

[CooLDoG]

Also, free keys in the steam IDs thread...

But the reason I'm not getting the bundle is I already have tropico 4 and Truck simulator. Both are very, very good and worth it Chevre. Tropico actually doesn't have too bad of a labor market simulator (if a bit too easy), and truck simulator is the most chill game you will ever play.

They do but remember they don't aggro unless you attack them first

[Axxle]

The game I've been working on for years is on the current Humble Bundle! (Nosgoth)

https://www.humblebundle.com/

Yay~!

[Anatole Kuragin]

Me and my friends played Nosgoth for a while a month or two ago but kinda fizzled out on it partially because there are a ton of great f2p games out and partially because we will never escape DotA's grasp. What part of the game did you work on, Axxle?

[Axxle]

I'm a gameplay programmer, so I mostly worked on weapons, movement, and ability behavior. Basically what makes the game fun!


Luckily I'm not an artist since I'd just make everything nice and blocky.
