I just did the “Lara slides down a river and if you don’t thread the needle on dozens of obstructions she gets impaled through the throat and out the back of her head” segment.
You, uh. You kinda wonder if someone was working on some issues, in a bad way, with what they do to her in this.
yeah it’s awful
I HAVE A WHOLE VIDEO ABOUT IT WOW
i personally think they could’ve gored her more creatively. get silly with it, the heart of darkness way
I just wish more games did failure sequences for not dodging in time more like this
One of the better features of Quantic Dream games is just putting the controller down during a chase scene.
omg rain world… why didnt i play this forever ago… its a bullet straight to my therian heart lol. a lil creacher simulator
i love that u have to hold the map button longer to remember more of the map. cuz you jus have a lil creacher brain
Resident Evil 4 (PS4): thought i was going to sit down, relax, and at least get through ch. 1-2 with little/no trouble. naturally, i thought wrong.
shooting shit out of the enemy’s hand and/or mid-air is enough of a trick in light-gun games- what were Mikami & Co. thinking trying to work it into a third-person shooter?
Adaptive Difficulty. why? just… why? how am i meant to become competent at the game if the devs keep fiddling with the difficulty every time i start to struggle? vidcons are not TTRPGs, Mikami- you’re never going to have the kind of direct engagement that allows actual DMs to modulate this stuff without being condescending or immersion-breaking
lol y u so bad @ videogames hater
because if i were good at them on top of everything else, the resulting critical mass of excellence would tear the fabric of space/time and ultimately destroy the universe
next stupid question, please
That’s why the Wii version is best because you can use the wiimote as a light gun sort of
anyway i watched my partner play through okami and i had it in my head that it was some kind of beautiful artistic game but it turns out it’s a pervy, horny as hell game where you get weapons where you piss and shit on people
looked fun at least
yeah the reality is that Okami is about as much a product of the mid-2000s as Jade Empire is
like, it’s not as terrible, but it’s bad in a lot of analogous ways that inexplicably did not count as bad
They gave all these objects huge hitboxes, combined with the laser pointer, to make it work. It’s why the dynamite enemy has a super long windup on lighting the dynamite, combined with a sound effect, so that you can focus on him.
Can think of a bunch of FPS games like the Fallouts that built shooting grenades out of the air into the mechanics, but it’s so hard to do organically they had to give it an achievement to even let people know you can do it.
For some reason I can knock dynamite out of the air in a panic but cant head shot guys walking towards me consistently. I think Im gonna switch to the wii version anyway tho.
to be fair, you’re not supposed to shoot them in the head. You’re supposed to shoot them in the leg so you can get a melee get in.
I should get around to doing an RE4 playthrough using all the wrong weapons: Blacktail, TMP, Killer7, Minethrower
Okami is one of the biggest disappointments I’ve experienced in video games. There’s a lot to like in the visual style, music, etc. but the writing goes well beyond normal video game mediocrity.
The mechanics are about at the level of the writing. Endless Zelda oatmeal goop. Execrable game frankly. And interminable.
I’d have a better opinion of it if it hadn’t been so long, yeah

finally, another good clicker
It’s gonnaa be so cool when I play through it this year skipping cutscenes and learning every Japanese slang for huge knockers.
Obligatory (should start at 5:57, don’t watch if the quoted section sounds like something you’d rather not see)
jesus
okay so
i think the thing is, i don’t feel like i fully know what i’m doing with juri, so my play narrative with her is super erratic and difficult to predict
compared to terry, who has been a reliable fall-back for a quarter-century of kof and for whom i have well-entrenched and obvious habits
…
anyway, i uh earned a new title for her…
