I think alot of rts games are gay because they involve apm.
I think old games are not worth revisiting if they are over a certain age.
I think that Splinter Cell Blacklist was much more satisfying experience than MGS V
>>339130886
Peach get off the board.
>>339131082
I would say its dependent on the game. Some can be revisited just for historical value, so long as you understand that.
Most games though, you probably shouldn't.
>>339131218
MGSV isnt a tough mark to beat.
>>339131314
Exactly. I mean i can find enjoyment in classics like doom and wolfenstein, but honestly i cant ever go back after seeing what graphics and intuitive gameplay can do.

Oh you mean vidya related? I liked Resident Evil 5 because it was an improvement over 4 but the plot sucks ass, I would like a 4 with 5's controls and gui layout, a dodge button and shoot while walking.
I enjoyed every Mass Effect game, but out off all of them the one I will trash the most is thefirst onebecause that interface is a fucking sin against competent game design and the exploration felt hollow, empty and pointless as fuck. The one whose story I enjoyed the most is thesecond oneeven though thethird onegenuinely got me teary eyed and I loved the places they took Shepard's character to whether you were playing Paragon or Renegade. Also, that one had the best gameplay andthe ending wasn't even half as bad as the internet says it is in what I imagine to be a high pitched, bitchy and entitled whine.

It's a lot better and it's still shit.
TW3 combat made the game unplayable.
>>339130483
Skyrim dosen't have combat,silly you. It's a comfy atmospheric walking sim. I still play it btw.
i've been desperately trying to get into the Souls games, starting with Demon's Souls and then moving to Dark Souls, but i just don't think i have it in me. i adore the premise of the games and the way they tackle environmental storytelling and atmosphere and i'm pretty interested in the lore, so i've wanted to play all of them, but when i try to play them i end up getting frustrated and quitting. i understand dying a ton is normal, but i dread having to fight back through the area i just conquered over and over again. i haven't even gotten very far past that first armored bull thing in the undead parish.
I'm glad we're getting an influx of open world games and I'm looking forward to more of them - I'm glad on-rails setpiece games have diminished in numbers.

Well you'll probably die a bit on the first game of the series you play on your first playthrough, after that it's something of a rarity.
Pump health and damage. Concentrate on that, and you'll fly through the games. VIT/VIG for health, a damage scaling stat and titanite. You should never have to grind.
Remember rolling has i-frames that begin on startup (least IIRC) so you can roll through enemy attacks and should, instead of rolling away.
>>339132386
There's a middle ground.

Atmospherically speaking, i think it works better to only human up at a checkpoint. It adds a lot of tension that the other games simply don't have.
>>339130630
My first soulsborne game was Bloodborne and my second were DS3. I recently bought both DS and DS2 to play them but i'm struggling more with them than what I ever did with DS3 or BB.
I like Assassin's Creed
I like Bamham
I like Gears of War
I like God of War
>>339132591
I don't disagree.
But it's not like you get invaded in DaS1 these days outside of Ariamis, Anal Rodeo, or twinked in the Parish/Burg anyway.
Not like you ever got invaded in DaS2 outside of launch week lmao.
>>339132683
Bloodborne and DS3 are easier games, that's all
I am complete trash at anything that has technical combat based on numbers/stats. Things like MMO's, MOBA's, most JRPG's, etc. I will almost always be the worst person in a party/team and as many times as people have tried to help I just flatout haven't been able to grasp it or get any better.
>>339132683
Consider this: in DaS3 in Bloodborne, there's simply less places to fall off of.
>>339132736
Despite making consistently good games, their work on network based stuff has always been somewhat wonky. Lag, oddly working covenants, some not working at all.
For all the praise from has, they suck at network code.
>>339132507
I thought it would be alright
>>339130483
both games would be vastly better without any combat at all. of course they would be infinitely better if someone competent actually designed the gameplay.
I want to play WoW again when Legion hits.
>>339132783
Difficulty for me was something like...
DS3 = Old Hunters > Chalices > Crowns > AotA > DS1 > BB >>> DeS > DS2
Order I played them in...
DS1 > DeS > AotA > DS2 > Crowns > BB/Chalices > Old Hunters > DS3
>>339130483
I find the combat in the witcher games to be super boring as well. If it was in first person like in Skyrim it'd probably be the best games around. Now they're just really mediocre.

Thanks, guys. It's people's insistence to newcomers to keep playing that really makes me want to get through this series.
Quick question: I might just have down's and not realize it, but how does the parrying work? I understand the concept obviously, but at which point in the enemy's attack animation should I be trying to parry? I've read answers ranging from "when the enemy's attack begins its motion towards you" and "just before the attack connects", but neither of those seem to work in practice. I imagine the solution is just to git gud, but I want to make sure I'm doing this right and not smashing my head against a wall.
I understand that different enemy attacks have different windows and that equipment affects those windows, but most of the times I've managed a parry I've kinda just stared at the screen thinking "how the fuck does that make sense?"
Dark souls 2 is the superior souls game.
Not really ashamed of it, but I still haven't beaten Dark Souls. I started it well over a year ago and intended to finish it then. I've gotten up to the Catacombs, fucked up, got Cursed, and now I don't know what to do. I think its difficulty is overrated and its well within my ability to beat it but I just haven't really bothered. I have ADD and end up just playing other games instead. I do want to beat it and play the other Souls games as well.
>>339130483
I only browse /v/ for the thinly veiled porn threads
>>339133160
It largely depends on what shield you are using. Its rather hard to do with anything medium or above.
Try it with a smaller shield, as they get more parry frames in general. From there, keep practicing. And my suggestion for practicing is to find a simply enemy with a predictable moveset. Once you get the feel for one, you can generally see how it will go with a lot of others.
>>339130483
I liked Salt and Sanctuary more than Dark Souls 3.
>>339133265git gud
>>339133265
How'd you get Cursed in the Catacombs?
>>339133265
game really dips in quality after Anor Londo so I don't really blame you
I hate turn-based genre, and rather watch someone play rather than to play it.
Borderlands 2 is a good game
>>339133160
Try not to think of parrying logically.
In every game but DaS2, parrying has no startup. Then you get about 6-8 frames of parry frames, which is not very long, and 20-25 recovery frames. If you get hit during the parry frames, they'll get parried, if you get hit during the recovery frames, you'll take reduced damage (unless you're parrying bare-handed or with the dagger).
So the best time to parry is the fucking INSTANT before the attack connects. Try to practice on the dredglings that hang out in Boletaria or the hollows around Firelink.
You can tell if it's too early if you just get knocked out, or if it's too late if you get that scraping metal sound, the shwing.
>>339133119Post your art
>>339130483
I love Souls series but I've never played itI know the lore by heart though
>>339133265
You can buy Purging Stones from the merchant in the aqueduct - the "Deary" chick - or from the Sealer in New Londo. They also drop from a lategame enemy so that's of no use to you.
Either will cure your Curse.
>>339131625
No you didn't.
>>339133407
Not him, but... is there a reason why I'm terrible at parrying in DS3, but can do it consistently in DS1 and effortlessly in DeS?
When Battleborn first came out, I played it because it was fun.
I play it now to spite you cunts.
>>339133587
DaS3 might actually have startup frames, idk there's no frame data out yet.
There's a reason everyone uses the Caestus.
>>339133587
Differences in the systems, would be the best answer.
And a lot of attacks can't be parried anymore. I only know of great weapon R2's and weapon arts, but there's probably others.
>>339133106
>>339133673
Do you even have anyone else to play with?

>>339133817
>how to be a hipster: the post
>>339133719
I'm actually worse at parrying with the caestus than I am with a small, or even medium shield.
But to give you an idea of how bad I am at parrying... I cannot for the life of me parry Sulyvahn or phase 2 Champ without just getting lucky. I actually beat them a -lot- easier and quicker without parrying at all.
>>339130919
cute :)
I use a walkthrough for almost every game I play. Can't handle being stuck for more than a few seconds.
>>339133880
Nah, I don't take pride in those opinions. It's just honestly how I feel. I didn't like how linear Galaxy was, it kind of ruined the biggest reason the 3D Mario games appeal to me.
As for DMC2... I don't even know why I like it the most. By all accounts I recognize how shitty it is, but there's just something about it I really enjoy.
SM2 is just plain amazing, though.
I have about five different games just on the cusp of being beaten. I'm not talking about 'oh last chapter/final stretch' I mean literally standing outside of the door of the final boss/dungeon. I always tell myself that some day and beat those games but I never do for some reason.
>>339133817
>>DS3 is my favorite Souls game
Nothing to be ashamed of there
I really liked Star Fox Zero despite its lack of content and would buy DLC for different ships or extra maps.
>>339132295
wierd, i never had that problem with dark souls 1 and i had jsut jumped in blindly to the game.Capra demon was bullshit tho
>>339134119
In all fairness I love all of them, but if anything I feel the most shame would come from Demon's being my least favorite.
>>339134085
Well thats acceptable then. so long as you can realize that something is shit and still like it, thats fine.
>>339134181
I don't think its aged well and too many gimmick bosses
>>339133096
to me ds2 was much more difficult than ds1, and i played and finished ds1 before starting ds2
maybe its cuz i played sotfs and not the original
or because the more you die, the more max health you lose in ds2, that was complete bullshit but i like it
>>339130483
I imagine everything read in this thread i spoken in a sexy whisper.
I love everything about Majora's Mask... except playing it. I love the characters, the atmosphere, the story, the world, the idea, how much they accomplished with so little... everything. But when I play it I just find myself miserable and honestly... bored.
>>339132539
Actually I like that middle ground better as well.
Metroidvania, with sequence breaks and very interlinked world design.
>>339131616
I might not really really like it, or the trilogy itself, but I'll be damned if I didn't have a good time with them. So much undeserved hate.
>>339133880
But Anon, all of /v/ is hipster as fuck.
You know it to be true and the sooner you realize it the better.
>>339134306
Well for starters, before Scholar the Heide's Tower of Flame area had much fewer Heide Knights, they never aggro'd unless you hit them (even after killing Dragonrider), there was no drake at all, and in front of Old Dragonslayer's boss fog you got the Ring of Binding... which prevented max health from ever going below like 75%.
Similar applies to the rest of the game, though I found certain really early areas -easier- in Scholar.
>>339134306
After playing through DS3 a bunch of times, I went back to DS2 and the bosses feel so much easier now. Even Smelter Demon, who I always had trouble with before (not to mention SotFS Iron Keep beforehand).
I think it's because every boss in DS3 is maximum sanic, so DS2 bosses feel like playing in slow-mo.
>>339133719
It does. And I hate it.
I play league unironically because its extremely easy and I'm master already, its not even a good game
>>339133265
>>339132295
Also haven't beaten DaS 1, but that's because I'm a poorfag who doesn't want to buy a used PS3. PC version is absolutely awful, not even mods fix it.
>>339133407
DaS3 also has startup frames. About 5 frames on most parry shields.
Only a couple of small shields and the ceastus have instant parry frame.
>>339134472
in general I tend to agree with this but every so often you find people hyped for shit like fallout 4 or shilling AAA games and it just leaves me really uncertain
>>339134472
Yeah, but sometimes people try a little too hard on it.
Evidently that person wasn't actually said kind of person though. they just admitted to having shit taste in those regards.
I'm playing Bloodbourne after playing all the souls games minus DeS and I still can't parry reliably.
I just never stuck with it, I always found rolling and backstabs to be easier and more reliable.
[spoier] before I came to /v/ I used to enjoy games more [/spoiler]
>>339130483
>>339132847
Maybe a not-widely accepted view...
But I hope their future souls games or spiritual successors remove online.
They aren't very good at it and only a small percentage of the community even care enough and most of them all know its ass and often play other multiplayer games as well.
It would be better if they made a full-fledged singleplayer experience so they could balance the game around that instead of nerfing things that break singleplayer, etc.
And then just make some other dedicated multiplayer game instead that way they could focus on better net code and maybe compete with other medieval fighting multiplayer games.
>>339134661
Parrying in Bloodborne is the easiest of all. Instead of a connecting 6 frames to get hit on, you have like 20 frames to fucking shoot them in.
Unless it's healing, where you basically have to predict parry.
>>339134778
The co-op and pvp are the two main reasons their games aren't just chew up and spit out experiences.
Like, I love DD, but that isn't remotely as replayable.
>>339134778
Not to mention they could actually finish a fucking game for once.
It would be nice to get a complete souls game that has better level design ala DeS/DaS3 and a completely interlinked and interconnected world ala the first 60% of DaS1.
Dark Souls is not a fun game/series to play
Mario 64 is the most overhyped video game in history. Even when ignoring the technical atrocities, it is a bad game purely from a game design standpoint.
N64 is the worst major console ever produced
There has only been 1 actual good Metal Gear Solid (the first one)
Deus Ex:HR (without the Missing Link, of course) is equally as good as the original Deus Ex
There has literally never been a good Indie video game released in the past 10 years
Last Remnant is the only good JRPG in the history of video games.
You're all fucking plebs
>>339134667
That happens to everyone I think. You get pulled in into the hate circle jerk even if you don't agree with most bullshit said. Just take a break from /v/ for two weeks or so.

Post discarded. I bet you never even heard of Frozen Synapse.
>>339134860
Uh. I and several friends don't play online and have over 500 hours into DaS1 because of replay value.
I also regularly go back to Dragon's Dogma and replay it every 6 months because it's genuinely enjoyable.
A game doesn't have to absorb all of your time to be counted as replayable. And just because 1/1,000 of the players want something to eat up time doesn't mean these games should be hampered by shitty multiplayer when they could have a more complete experience with better replay value in singleplayer instead of the linear experience they've become to better balance pvp.
That is why they did it all these years... to prevent twinks. They literally rewrote the games into linear gameplay just for pvp. It sickens me.
>>339134868
Actually DS3's world is more interlinked than the first 60% of DS1. The only disconnected areas are Firelink Shrine (which is actually connected in a way) and the High Wall / Settlement gap.
DS1 had Undead Asylum, Anor Londo, and if you count it in the first 60% the Painted World.
I suck at games.
I literally had to have someone get up from the sofa and point at an item on the screen in silent hill 2 because i couldn't see it when they were telling me it was there.
>>339130483
I dislike every Nintendo franchise outside of Pokemon. I'd take even fucking Microsoft over N any day of the week.
>>339134989
Even fucking Steam has Mixed reviews on that, and if there's one thing Steam is known for, it's having the ultimate in shit fucking taste that they vote anything that's even remotely playable as Positive.
I'm bored with Dark Souls (at Seath's Second Fight, beat Pinwheel recently but overall its just meh)
I want to beat Demons Souls but its kicking my ass
How do I git gud with Demons Souls? I only beat Phalanx and keep failing with both Armored Spider and the Giant
>>339135053
I had to have someone else win the race to free Epona for me the first two times I played Ocarina of Time... but I was like ten or something.
Half the reason I play MMOs is so I could ERP as a futa.
>>339135126
Frozen Synapse actually takes thinking to play, why are you letting a bunch of children tell you whats good or not good?
>>339135145
Stop playing games that bore you?
>>339133938
I don't think parrying is the way to go in that fight anyways. They always attack one after another. Only one attack leaves him open to parry without the ghost hitting during.
I use strong magic damage against the ghost as it seems extremely weak to it.
A magic build I had used broadsword magic infused +6 or +7 and 3 shot the ghost with it.
Basically making it so as soon as he went to summon I got free hits on the boss and killed the ghost before it could even fight at the same time.
>>339135226
If you read a little closer (ie actually read) you'd see how I indicated that I moved onto Demons Souls
>>339135037
Thats a gross oversimplification, verging on hyperbole.
The PvP portion may as well be completely detached from the PvE, simply because the PvE can be done with literally any build if you are capable enough.
And they don't exactly "Prevent twinks", except in 3. In every previous game, being a twink was as easy as being low SL/SM and having a +10 weapon.
>>339130483
>witcher 3's combat
>something even worth mentioning
It's garbage.
I hate Shadow of the Collossas, I think it's slow, clunky, unresponsive, bland, empty, repetitive. Overall it's a shit experience
>>339134181
I don't know if Demon's is my least favorite. Probably third if we're counting BB in the mix.
But I just like DaS1 better. Demon's does a lot of cool stuff and feels responsive but the weight of DaS1 and speed feel ideal to me.
And what this guy said >>339134270
>>339134795
Yeah I can actually do it in Bloodbourne but I still prefer backstabs on normal mobs, feels like a waste of bullets parrying mobs. So I only parry bosses who look like they're really easy to parry.
Also is is arcane damage useful much? I'm going for a Arcane build on my first playthrough of bloodborne and I got a fire and arcane gem and fire seems a lot better since there seems to be more beasts and fleshy monsters. But I feel like I should have Arcane on my weapon to balance out the overpowered flame sprayer in my other hand.
As much as /v/ likes to shit on tumblr, they act exactly the same. So much to the point where being nice to them will make them angrier. So that's what I do.

I couldn't even get through DD because of how repetitive, generic, and boring it was.
>>339135214
>/v/ states game is good/bad because of good/bad reviews
>/v/ says don't listen to reviews if it's a game they like/dislike.
It's a big contradiction on /v/ most of the time.
You have to pick a something.
>>339135394I have always said that /v/ (and /r9k/) is Tumblr for guys.
>>339135493
That picking something is actually playing the game. I dont give a damn if you believe me or not, but at least try to get to a point where you know what you're talking about.
>>339135040
interlinked and interconnected aren't really the same.
I'm not sure which definition to go by but the fact that you have mutiple paths in and out of each starting area is something that DaS3 lacks sorely. The game forces specific paths of progress and even when you branch off it's like DaS2 where you're stuck on that path until a dead end.
No branching of on a patch then branch again and again until you're somewhere else where you can once again branch back to the start.
It's not the same and clearly not what he meant by interlinked I think.
>>339132507
Holy shite I just got back
I thought the pip boy app was gonna be some cool shit, turns out it is just shit
>>339135690
I get what you're saying. To that extent I can agree, but I hear so many people talk about DS3 like everything is completely disconnected.
In that sense, though... Bloodborne. Bloodborne has top tier level design, but nearly the entire game is thoroughly interlinked. Several areas connect to several other areas consistently.
>>339135040
Actually I don't mind warp points like Anor Londo or Painted World.
What I mean is that you should be able to still go to other places from those places.
DaS1 didn't complete the game that way, but the point of a sequel is that you can do it better. They didn't. There may be less warps but the map is far more linear too.
I don't care if it had 3 warps but each warp should be able to warp to a two other places or have to actual interlinked paths and a warp.
Just some kind of interconnected web-like design of areas connected to each other.
>>339130483
Final Fantasy XIII had a good story.
>>339130483I hate DMC 3 and DMC 4 DanteI liked the serious DMC1 Dante, cringey 'dark soul with light' line includedI haven't played DMC 2 though
>>339135562If ya put them together in a room, I'm 99% sure they'd come out friendly with each other
>>339135802
I think it's more like you have to follow a linear path no matter what (minus a couple exceptions) and they would like to be able to branch off at any time and get lost like in DaS1.
>Bloodborne
Yeah but again they force your hand a lot. You can fight 7 different bosses as your first boss and go between like 5 different areas at the start of Dark Souls. Bloodborne you're forced into two areas and two bosses. Then it opens to only 2 more bosses.
It's heavily guided. A great world once you unlock everything but too planned.
>>339135873
For me my preferred Dantes are DMC4 > DMC2 > DMC1 > DmC > DMC3
The Warhammer franchise is gay and try hardy. It seems like a bunch of low test nerds overcompensating with what they believe is hardcore and manly.
>>339135926
I agree, though I don't really mind too much. That said DS1's world was always my favorite. Shame I dislike quite a few of the actual areas within it...
>>339135690
>>339135802
>>339135813
We really need to create some kind of word to better describe this other than sequence breaking (which sounds like the game is broken).
Open world doesn't work because everyone immediately thinks "sandbox".
What's some word that can be used to describe all this linking of multiple areas contiguously (whether by warp or walking) without detering player choice via secrets, hard enemies/bosses, and exploration?
>>339136062
forgot this part...
And without forcing players down only one to two paths ala DaS2/3.
All indie games are shit
