>>1435076 I never played either of those myself, how's Everything or Nothing? >>1435134 PC port was unfortunately done by Gearbox, who bungled it hard. Console versions are fine, though.

>>1436851 It's not a PC port, it's a completely different game running on Goldsource.

>>1436923 My bad, could've sworn it was a port.

>>1388394 >Do people actually enjoy Diablo and games like Diablo? Seems like it, considering they've been making these games for more than two decades now.

as a casual who doesn't care much beyond beyond clearing the game on all three difficulties, the minmax grind sounds downright masochistic and miserable. the runeword grind alone makes me wanna puke. i don't know who could possibly enjoy farming equips just to make number go up, especially the one thing i don't like about games like it is that without number crunching/wiki autism (e.g. distribute your points exactly like this or you lose dmg) you're at a disadvantage. of course devs inevitably end up balancing stuff around the wiki autist minmaxers so you end up being forced to partake in it, skipping the discovery/experimentation phase and skipping straight to the endgame.

>>1436745 This is all caused by the synergy patch. Diablo 2 wasn't as heavy with farming to just progress. When we got the synergy patch they had to bloat the monsters stats. I remember when I was slowly making my way through Act IV Hell on a concentration maul barbarian and then downloaded the new patch and he could only hang in Nightmare due to how fucked the gear scaling became. This is partly why I enjoy Diablo I more than II. You can get by with either the items you find naturally on your descent, or find some magical gear to purchase from Griswold or Wirt. There was also a reason to pick up every magical item. People claim Diablo II has superb itemization, but there's only certain magical items they are looking for so most items that aren't normal won't be picked up. In Diablo I every magical item can be a potential upgrade. Sure there are less modifiers on magical items in Diablo I, but there is always excitement in finding any blue item. There was a run in which I did Hell with a Saber because it spawned with a high enhanced damage percentage and chance to hit which out did other weapons in damage regardless of their items higher base damage. I won't be picking up a blue short sword in Act IV/V normal in Diablo II because there's almost nothing that can spawn on it that'll out do other weapons types I've unlocked as I've progressed. Then you can compound that with early rune words that give modifiers that blue magical items simply can't give like crushing blow or open wounds, or a flat out +1 to all skills. Sadly ARPGs took the grind item treadmill from Diablo II rather than being one and done in a play session of Diablo I. I guess that's to be expected, more games are geared towards keeping a player playing the game across many years rather than being a concise session that the player might revisit in a year or two and spend a week on.

Seriously, hearing the Jailer say >Here in the jail we punish >Or at least we're meant to >I'm supposed to be intimidating >GRRR Completely killed any immersion I might have had in this world. 300 neurotic quirky side characters all at the same time just fucking killed it for me and it's a shame because outside the first Merchant you find (which has a lore reason for being quirky) the game took itself seriously. Should we write a meaningful well thought out character? No fuck that! Just make him autistic and completely out of place! It's ok, it's optional!

>>1428223 The writing is just of overall shit quality. One dimensional NPCs (hi, I'm a guard, here's my life story and a quest that goes along with it), flat side quests. I've read more interesting quests in MMOs. The lolrandom humour's best example is the quest where you get an explosive package in order to blow open a sealed tomb. Inside you find an undead cook who is obsessed with cheese. Completing the quest line gives you a spell that turns targets into cheese.

>>1436353 The issue isn't even the concept, you can do that silly stuff without shit writing that doesn't take itself seriously. Why can't these faggots just be genuine? Why does everything have to be sarcastic and quirky and shit, fucking hell.

Have you played Dead Space Sabotage? It plays much better than DS1 though not as good as DS2. There is no dumb turret section for starters.

>>1431357 Was that the mobile game?

>>1621771 I see. I find the chinese alchemy mod interesting, but it's only for levelling up hard. Any option to steal skills or implant upgraded organs in yourself?

>>1311954 I don't like how you have to pay to save in 2. That just bothers me the whole time and it makes me not feel comfortable saving or taking a break. Seems small, but significantly decreases the fun.

>>1322431 Doesn't help that the general is effectively 5 people treating it like a discord/skype/irc/mumble/teamspeak room and blogposting the entire time with the only things relevant to the game being posting borderline /e/ and /h/ material and avatarfagging, with any semblance of discussion about fanart/mods/official merch being on reddit

>>1418759 I rented it and beat it, but didn't really care for it. Partly because it just didn't spark anything in me, and partly because I was pissed off that this is the best we got out of the ashes of the canceled True Fantasy Live Online. Think I'll pass on this one, but if I stumble on a magnet or 90% off discount I might give it a whirl.

>>1418964 Earlier trailers just straight up had body type 1/2

>>1417389 It's actually pretty fun. I might end up buying it since I could see this being a fun title to play with friends. Laura is cute but Kunugi is pretty good. >>1419031 Seems not being able to make female characters is more of a dev laziness thing. Many, many characters have boobs. >>1419578 And they removed that entirely. Internally I wonder if there's still a gender switch that's just kept to male for player characters, since there's a lot of characters seemingly made with the character creation assets that clearly have tits.

Waiting for the day someone manages to combine Pokemon TCG GBC with Red.

>>1265297 A majority of ROMs are made for emulators, if that is what's going on. So if an emulator gets a new version, it can break the specific ROM code.

>>1291892 I should hope DS emulators are done being developed by now, at least…

>>1407146 ubishit "side content" collecthethons are bad recently true. but they used to be good. in ac2, there were a few dozen and they took 2 hours max to find all of them. and each piece gave you a piece of a mystery and at the end you got a cool armor. in ac brotherhood onwards and in farcry it became aids. but in watch dogs, it became good again. there were just so much variety, there was that spider mecha minigame. the "find qr codes" and car stunts mini game that you usually had to do together. the "hack citizens and snoop on them" minigame. variety made them good. though then again they made them far too many in watch dogs 2 and ruined it. in that tomboy greek game they made, which was a fun game. the collectables became fun minigames again. each one being built around one of the tomboy's magical powers. was loads of fun. but dear god did they really have to cram so many of them with so little distance between them. honestly the problem with ac and far cry is that it only has one single type, climb something and open a chest, or run while parkouring. its just so boring after so many times.

>>1275136 I haven't played either game so I wouldn't know. I might try EXA anyway because that looks kinda neat. I dont need to play the rest of the series right? I have only played the first one.

>>1275431 Neo and EXA aren't connected, and I hadn't played the Genesis games since I was a kid so even then I didn't remember anything about the plot. So if it's connected to them at all, I didn't know and it didn't stop me from playing it.

>>1422496 feel like something is missing in this picture

>>1207349 50/50, accuracy is an entire rabbit hole, just make them cool. Will Kyoryu ever release?

>>1278468 If they make ptera not take 5 thousand years to recover stamina, I'll buy it. In the meantime Path of Titans has been rolling out alot of TLCs and updates recently so that's breddy gud. >>1352110 Consider trying Dino Trauma

I wish there were more games like Dino Crisis and Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Dino horror is such an underutilized genre and it's sort of ridiculous the only other medium it's ever really taken off in besides film is analog horror.

Really makes you think.

I beat it for the first time some weeks ago. Got like 110 stars. Did everything except for some 100 coin and blue coin stars, and the chuckster red coin mission. Game's good, but it's no more than good. The physics are really iffy. There's a lot of weird quirks to Mario's movement, and a lot of jank around moving platforms like in this anon's second clip >>1361382 that made the game endlessly frustrating to play. By contrast I played Vexx right before Sunshine and as mediocre as that game was I never had a problem landing pinpoint jumps with its controls. Mario's air movement is weird. His X-axis and Z-axis acceleration work by different rules. Suppose you jump from a stand-still while facing forward; if you move the control stick left or right, Mario instantly gains a set amount of momentum in that direction, and when you let go of the stick, he instantly loses it. If instead you move the control stick forward or backward, Mario gradually accelerates in that direction, and when you let go of the stick he keeps all momentum gained. If you ever need to make an adjustment on both axes at once, for instance to land a precise jump on a moving platform, this system makes that needlessly unintuitive. The hover nozzle is made tiresome to use by the game's insistence that Mario must slowly swivel around to face the direction he's trying to move to before being allowed to move in that direction. The ground controls are much too sensitive. Acceleration is practically instant and even a tiny tilt of the control stick makes him move too fast, so in some situation you end up having to make a lot of quick microadjustments like in that above clip. Also, it may just have been my controller, but it didn't feel like Mario had full 360 degree movement. If I make him run forward and slowly turn the stick left or right, it takes a while before I notice a change in his direction. And that's just the most obvious stuff I can recall from memory. This isn't a huge deal if you're just running around an open level, and I did have good fun messing around with the moveset in those parts of the game, but it's a poor fit for the more precise platforming sequences the game loves to throw at you. Outside of that, a lot of missions are a work of tedium.
