I don't think it's so much that people don't like SR4, it's that it starts out by going up to 11 and then staying there for the rest of the game. SR3 gradually worked its way up to it, and remains more memorable to me.
This is me for all 3 of the games. It's one of those few cases where I simply cannot understand all the praise heaped upon a series (or game, if we're talking specifically about 3).
The change in art style, the retcons, the dialog wheel, the switch to a much faster paced and flashier combat with encounters relying even more on spawning in waves upon waves, the incredibly samey environments, the somewhat unusual story structure ... not saying all of those are necessarily bad, but DA2 is enough of a departure from DA:O/A that it can easily rub fans of that game the wrong way. If you were expecting a straight up sequel to the first one, well, that's not exactly what you got.
That's unfortunately just the nature of the systems and the state of their emulation. The PS1 is a simple machine that's very well understood, the N64 is a complicated mess with a similarly messy emulation history.
I've never liked DS4Windows since it's just nagware. I still use ScpToolkit for my DS4s.
Yes. Make sure to grab a recent dev build if you want to play with upscaled visuals and hardware rendering, as it contains some newer fixes for Ico. Even then, some lighting effects don't fully work, and you would need to stick with software rendering if you want to see it as intended.
Worth pointing out that the expert grid and other assorted extras were added in the original PAL release, so date a lot further back than the remaster. Ah, the good old days of crappy adaptations coming a year late with some extra "we're sorry (but only a little)" content.
Blasphemy! Clearly IX is the pinnacle of FF and anyone who disagrees is factually, objectively wrong and has neither heart nor taste.
I can do one better - or worse, really. I fell hook, line and sinker for SE's trolling with Yiazmat in FFXII. That fucker has a bit over 50 million HP, with the damage cap being 9999 per hit, which is further reduced some way into the fight. It takes hours to get him down to low health (although you can leave and save mid-fight).Listening through the Persona series' various versions of Aria of the Soul and I get to Persona 3's variation Battle Hymn of the Soul and I'm rocking out to it (best damn final boss music in a decade) then it hits the repeat and I almost exclaim "Fuck! Nyx!". I still have visceral feelings of hate at that damn boss's predilection toward stealing my healer and getting a full Mediarama boost after spending 20 minutes whittling her ass down to 1/4 health.
I had that happen TWICE. Fucking weak-minded Yukari. Took me two hours to finish that fight.
Hm, what about the mechanics do you think is rough? It's been a few years since I played Catherine, and the difficulty could certainly be an issue in the later stages (and Babel still makes me want to go hide in a corner and reflect on my apparent lack of block puzzle brain power), but I never felt like the mechanics themselves weren't well thought out and put together.
That is some fortunate timing. Back when I was playing it on PS3, I was already decked out in a ton of Bitterblack gear by the time I got in a proper kill of the online Ur-Dragon. Had even set up a tool to monitor the GameFAQs forums, which would alert me when someone posted it was entering into the grace period.So I popped in, figured I'd either get my ass handed to me or it would end up flying away and I'd get nothing but, no, it was in the grace period! So the only time that I'd ever bother trying it and I got all the benefits of killing it.
It's a very zen game. You just kind of ... explore and find ways to interact with and change the environments to open up new paths and progress further. In that sense it's sort of an exploratory puzzle game, I suppose, but a very relaxing one. Helped not least by the distinct art style and a great soundtrack.
More specifically it's because Guerrilla Games is a Sony first-party studio. Maybe he's confusing it with Nioh?
Modders got you covered.
It's still an AC game, though. I tried to stick with it for a couple of hours, but there's just too many boring on foot sections, so I never got that far into it. I also never liked the narrative framing of the AC games.
Yeah, Rebel Galaxy came pretty close. But because of the space setting, it mostly just made me want to play X3 again instead. God I hope X4 doesn't suck as much as Rebirth ...
I just don't enjoy the minute to minute gameplay in AC games. Traversal, stealth and combat all feel very bland and uninteresting to me. Couple that with the story framing, which completely ruins the immersion for me, and you have a series of games that I'm happy to skip.
It's not just that the music itself is amazing (which it is), but also the way it fits into the game. That section at the very end especially ... when the additional layers come in ... goddamn. It was all so simple, but so brilliantly effective. One of my favorite moments in gaming, period, and the music played a huge part in that.
... I'm out. Ever since Dark Souls 2 the lighting sucked. The original Dark Souls is such a wonderfully atmospheric game, which is helped greatly by the way the lighting worked (which is anything but realistic, but that's hardly the point).
I'm sure it won't have the same yellow-ish tint everywhere. Will it be anything close to the original (low ambient light, strong player light, highly varied tonemaps per area)? I have my doubts. Bloodborne runs on the same engine as well, and the lighting works the same way as Dark Souls 3 - which is to say, unlike Demon's and Dark Souls.
Sure, but as of right now, still works just fine on the latest Win 10 versions. I'm sure it'll break eventually, as a lot of old PC games do, but I also wouldn't be surprised if resourceful members of the community would find ways to fix it again.
Be patient. Gain distance from Smough, and bait and punish Ornstein. Always try to keep them both in front of you. Always keep moving and circling around the pillars, ideally letting the pillars obstruct Smough when possible.Virogtheconq":3usl80o0 said:
I had a similar issue with What Remains of Edith Finch and a DS4. Try deactivating 360 gamepad support in the Steam global controller configuration, so Steam doesn't try and hook the pad for itself any longer.
It cannot be overstated how well this is done. The voices aren't just there to create atmosphere or help tell the story, they're also there to guide the player. Being able to consistently perfect-parry enemies that attack you from outside your field of vision with no indicator other than the voices warning you is a wonderful feat of game design.
That seems to be speculation so far. And it doesn't really explain why they're seemingly targeting games and VNs with an anime aesthetic only, even if the nudity and sexual content contained in at least some of those products is more innocuous than something like The Witcher and which were specifically run by and given a green light by Valve before publication on the platform.
Because I am really, really lazy, I've set up shortcuts directly on the taskbar so I can switch outputs anytime with a single click. Requires nircmd which exposes a lot of useful Windows functionality via commandline (in this case, switching to speakers or headphones is as simple as calling "nircmd.exe setdefaultsounddevice Headphones", assuming the sounddevice is called Headphones, of course), which you can then use in a shortcut that can be pinned to the taskbar.
Firefox on Android does have extension support, but depending on the extension some functionality might be limited to some degrees (usually UI related, e.g., uBlock Origin's element picker mode no longer works, but the underlying functionality does, so if you sync desktop config files, it will block elements defined in there just fine).
Adding on to this, Cory Barlog also did a short Director's Commentary series for the game, touching on this fight from a different angle among numerous other topics. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
You forgot the somewhat entertaining original announcement video.
Yeah, that's what got me into it. I liked the naval combat in Black Flag, but disliked pretty much everything else about that game, and I'm also really into anything space-related, so Rebel Galaxy was a natural fit.
