Although it has a PC version nothing can be configured.
30fps
You mean erratically fluctuating 3-30FPS just as the game wants you to go through a jump puzzle that requires precise timing and of course physics calculations are based on display FPS.
Every single shelf, cupboard, sack, discolored patch of dirt, hollow tree, etc. Is lootable. 99.9% of the loot is useless. The remaining 0.1% is key to solving several quests and/or the best stuff in the game.
Oh my wife would love this game, that's basically all she likes to do in games. Someone needs to just make thief simulator for her.
Months after Red Dead Redemption came out for the PS3, my friend asked me why I didn't beat it yet. He opened up my inventory and he saw more hunted meat he ever thought someone could accumulate.
All I did was hunt in the game. It was one of the best hunting games of all time.
The inventory is tetris-style. Lots of items arent squares or rectangles. Items do stack, but you can get them only by selecting and choosing "Take one/Take half/Take X". If you drop something it is GONE.
Gameplay heavily based on dodging and careful movement, but you can only dodge by double tapping movement keys or the stick
Wow, my controller just broke on it's own. It was right there on my desk, and then I read your comment, and it snapped itself in half.
Pointless inventory management and crafting.
inventory expansion slots only available for ~~purchase~~ rent with real money.
pay to win gacha/lootbox mechanics
"Losing the 50/50"
Inventory is limited by item weight.
Discarding items requires 3+ button presses (per item)
Everything has durability
Some items also rot, the rot timer doesn't stop in the unskippable cutscenes and maybe even continues ticking down while you are not playing.
Fun glitch: rot value is unsigned, and once it reaches -1 the item is reborn phoenix-style from the ashes of itself.
This makes for some interesting mechanics where its worth saving old rusty near-dead items until the end of the game just before a vital boss battle.
That, honestly, kept me from enjoying Fallout 3 after being introduced to the series via FO4. I understand that far in the future everything is going to be shitty and broken, but the raiders that just jumped me didn't seem to have any problem getting hits with their useless broken pipe weapons that I can somehow use to repair 5% of the durability of my shitty pipe weapon.
Fallout 3 is a shit game (The classic example of why is that things like stealing a spoon will get you sentenced to death by mob violence) Play Fallout New Vegas, it's built on Fallout 3's engine but instead of being designed and written by indentured interns at Bethesda it was made by people who are, you know, game designers. (I would kill for a NV-esque sequel to F04)
I wouldn't call it shit, but yean NV is definitely a much better game.
Why are they starting with "starting the game"?
They forgot to start with a kernel-level anticheat and a pointless, slow to load "need an account, always online" launcher.
Equipment can be upgraded, but only through an enormous amount of tedious grind for tiny incremental improvements.
By halfway through the upgrade tree, all the equipment is overpowered and will make any boss fight trivial, including the final boss of the game. All additional upgrades are meaningless.
You don't get to see the real ending unless you fully upgrade all the equipment.
Upgrading the equipment has a chance to fail and waste all your resources. The chance to fail increases with every level.
Bonus points: Failing destroys the equipment and you need to start over from scratch.
There are also four normal endings and a true ending. You can only see the true ending after getting all four normal endings. There are multiple branch points in the story leading to the different endings so you have to start almost from the beginning to find a new one. The true ending is on a wholly separate route that is 99% identical to the one leading to Ending A. There is no new game plus, so you have to start from scratch each time. The true ending boss, unlike the other ending bosses, is absurdly over tuned and the only enemy in the game that requires you use or even know about several obscure mechanics, and even then requires you to have all upgrades maxed out and be near the level cap to even stand a chance.
Driving mechanic where you steer where you look, making it impossible to drive straight while looking around or behind you.
Halo's gameplay is really not that great (I'd even say pretty bad) without the nostalgia goggles.
I disagree. I'd rather have look-to-steer then the full-left-straight-full-right steering that's in other fps games. Not being able to make slight changes to direction and speed in Half-Life 2 vehicles always made them frustrating.
"boost me up"?
Probably from The Last of Us where you have to help a companion character reach a higher ledge which slows down gameplay.
But... That is a disguised loading screen. The ones everyone complained about as well. The game has to load the data at some point. So either it's completely being removed from the game via a screen or something like "boost me up" or crawling through the caves like in the new God of War.
It's funny to me that loading times are still the Achilles heel after all these years. Don't get me wrong--it makes sense. Games getting more graphically intense, larger worlds, online play etc, it all adds up. I always just thought that we'd finally see loading times become at least significantly shorter by now--and in scale with the size of the games, they likely have. I guess some things are simply as optimized as they're gonna get, can't just expect magic to happen and make that much computation instantly doable.
The loading times did get better! I think a lot of people who complain either forgot or never player old games on original hardware. I remember minutes long loading screens. What we have now is so much better than the past. Imaging playing a Dark Souls game and waiting 1 minute each time you got defeated. That was my experience with one segment in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Huge amounts of foreshadowing, but the story is already very predictable.
Motion controls.
Very long unskippable cutscenes before all bosses.
Hitboxes that make no sense whatsoever.
Voice Actors that really want to be somewhere else. (perhaps with full bladders?)
All cutscenes are slideshows.
A huge open world, with massive Travel distances and no fast travelling, and theres nothing to explore.
Very long unskippable cutscenes before all bosses.
It's probably assumed but just to be clear - the save point is before the cutscene, so if you die then you have to watch the cut scene again every time.
A huge open world, with massive Travel distances and no fast travelling, and theres nothing to explore.
But right before the final boss you find out you should've been collecting 100 golden rings from nooks and ledges and now you have to grab a guide and check all 100 locations because there's no way to know which ones you found already.
> escort mission with walk-and-talk exposition dump
> keep close to the escort target or the radio will yell at you
> faster than walking
> slower than running
A currency system where the game has a normal currency that you can earn via tasks but that currency is artificially nerfed because there is an additional “premium” currency that is only available either in extremely paltry amounts that have to be saved over months of grinding or spending actual cash. Also there’s a ton of stuff that can only be purchased with large amounts of premium currency
A subscription for basic services like multiplayer or a song catalog even though you just paid $70 for the game
High paced action game that suddenly grinds to a halt for a forced stealth section that was clearly tacked on and poorly designed
Escort Section where the person you're escorting moves at a slower pace than you do, forcing you to jog, walk, jog all the time.
Want to quit the game? Sure go into the menu, click Quit Session -> Are you sure? -> click Yes -> Loading Screen -> Game menu -> click Quit Game -> Are you sure? -> click Yes -> Loading Screen -> Unskippable game title intro -> sub menu with Quit Game, Continue Game, New Game -> click Quit Game -> Are you sure? -> click Yes -> Loading Screen -> Desktop
Don't forget a save point right before the unskippable cutscene and overly difficult boss fight, so you get to watch it over again every time you die.
Need an account to begin the game even though it’s single player.
After logging in the game updates and requires a restart. Even though you updated outside of the game.
The menu is a convoluted mess with lots of areas all having notification icons.
Lots of DLC with adverts for the DLC menu.
Instead of walking/moving with a your joysticks, you use them to point a fucking mouse cursor and click on the ground where you want to go, like that shitty walking dead game on playstation
You guys are forgetting an annoying encumberance system where in order to pick up the heavy object (example: plate mail) you have to drop a light weight object (example: ring) because you are out of item slots.
Worse: Both encumbrance and grid inventory management. Can’t pick up that plate armor because you need to re-Tetris your inventory around to make room for the 4x6 plate armor icon. And no, you can’t rotate items to make the armor a 6x4 instead.
And after you organize your entire inventory to fit the armor, you still can’t pick it up because it’s too heavy.
If singleplayer:
A complex transmog system that has gacha style of different 'currencies' (shit tier crafting ingredients) and layers of abstraction, some of which functionally require being subbed to a battlepass which allows you to purchase some necessary key items to the transmog process only after you've done all your monotonous dailies for 3 weeks without missing a single one.
If multiplayer:
'Radiant' style quests revolving around escorting a low health, brain dead at path finding npc, which walks slower than your run speed but faster than your walk speed, through a PvP combat zone, who frequently has random mental breakdowns and must be reassured everything will be alright through a 22 step dialog tree process, which is largely randomized everytime, in order to keep them moving.
You and the npc can be killed during conversation segments, which you cannot exit from at whim, you must complete the dialog tree successfully to regain control of your character and exit the 'cinematic dialog' mode.
Lol that multi-player game actually sounds really interesting....
I would love to add a gambling mechanic and play it. 11 players in an arena, each player bids 0 to 100 cents to be "it". If you or your stupid NPC dies, you lose and the pot rolls to next round. If you somehow can get your idiotic NPC to the safe zone, you win the entire pot. Pot can grow indefinitely.
MHW was a game desperately in need of a paper manual.
Flashing up pages full of text during the tutorial is flat out obnoxious.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
