Fucking Lee Everett
guybrush, handsome jack, bender, arnold schwarzenegger
And the announcer from the stanley parable as the all knowing dealer. maybe someone else. got no better idea for the dealer right now.
Has anybody here played all the way through this? I'm about 10 hours in and I still can't decide if I like it or not. It's like part of me is enjoying it and can see the potential, and the other part is kind of like "meh." I'm enjoying the fact that the focus is on the writing and characters rather than flashy graphics, but I want to enjoy the actual process of playing the game too.
And I can't really get a handle on the combat system. It just seems like there's too much information coming in and everything is overly chaotic. I find myself just kind of using my moves/spells in a suicide burst and then running to an inn to rest if I win. It's really slowing the game down. Plus I can't fucking figure out how to build any of the characters for the roles I want them to fill.
Have any tips/suggestions to maximize enjoyment? Am I missing something or am I expecting it to be more than it is?
>I'm enjoying the fact that the focus is on the writing and characters
How interesting is it? Are the characters actually built and developed or are the bland cookie cutter "I'm a devout paladin" or "I'm a sly thief" sorts? Do they have goals? Quirks? Family? Do they ever have some character development?
I've just never heard a single thing about any of the characters from the game so I just assume they're unremarkable.
I just started too, what class are you playing? I find myself always being in scouting mode, put the game in fast mode and once i find a dude, try and set ,my party to pull them through a door way and "melee" lock them while the rest of my guys blast at range. I really only have the soldier and mage you meet in the first town, and made a rouge, with my main guy as a Monk.
Most of the enjoyment to me is looking as each encounter as a puzzle and figuring out how to kill them. Spells from the grimore and anything that is limited by rest i use only in a corner of if i know ill use a campfire soon. anything limited per encounter is safe to spam.
I do agree the combat can get a bit Chaotic, but it helps to go into the option screen and toggle various autopause features to keep things manageable.
Really its kinda hard to get into because it dumps you into a world that is largely spams you with vocabulary that you kinda have to figure out on your own as you connect the dots of a world that isnt just generic Tolkien fantasy.

The characters are deep. Only a little bit of the dialogue is voice acted, so they give you a lot of written interaction with the named companions. They also get a lot of backstory and they all have relatively extensive personal quests. And though they do have "classes," the characters are unique.
Can Uncharted 4 beat Uncharted 2?
I'm no game cricket but maybe.
>96 for scripted sequences: the game
B-but it's meant to be like a movie!!1
>walking around and finding places to jump, then a cinematic plays : The game
>96 on metacritic
wow
Now that the snow has settled, what does /v/ think of Skyrim?
>>323119102
it's a good game :/
>>323119102
Great game, a milestone in role playing games and a hall mark in the series. The game did what so many has failed to do before and broke into mainstream pop culture, attracting quite a number of gamers who have either never played an RPG game or generally just didn't play much video games in general. With its streamlined gameplay and vast locales, as well as its dual ongoing storyline, it successfully brings true open world role play into the modern and console age.
>>323119676I know you're playing pretend shill, but I do find it incredible that Bethesda managed to bring a once-niche genre screaming into the mainstream by just removing a few things.And yes, I'm talking about removing them from Oblivion - Oblivion from Morrowind was a huge downgrade compared to Skyrim to Oblivion.
>tfw you weren't into star wars growing up
>tfw you missed out on great games like SotE, KOTAR, Rouge Squadron, and the Battlefronts
Star Wars gaming thread? What games still hold up today? I played the shit out of Pod Racer on the 64 but that's about it.
Rouge Leader was best squadron. Battlefront 2 is GOAT Star Wars overall.
I've always heard good things about Republic Commando and that Jango Fett game.
>>323118263
Try x-wing alliance. The game is good, the graphics are not hideous today and you feel like really controlling every part of the spaceship.
Should I buy an X360 now, /v/?
I want to play Lost Odyssey (which I already played the first disc), Blue Dragon, Gears of War, Halo and Ace Combat 6
It's fairly cheap in my country right now, but I'm still on the fence
Would you guys recommend it? Also, any other hidden gems?
Yea, games are cheaper than they ever will be.
I can reccomend Tales of Vesperia, Nier, Binary Domain, Way Of The Samurai 3, Halo 3 ODST, Earth Defense Force 2025, Killer Is Dead, Gears of War series.
It's worth it if you haven't had a console in a while, you have 10 years of game releases that are now really cheap to go through.
Crackdown 1 and 2 are a load of fun
Unfortunately you missed the glory days of 360 online but it's still a nice console, get the slim if you can.
>>323118179
Blue dragon has shit frame rate,
Every time you attack the game stupid to like 5fps....
Also the boss music is the worst
Yes Man is the best character in New Vegas and more well-written than any character in Fallout 4.

Are you fucking joking?

The companions in FO4 were alright

Is there a peripheral like this for the PC?
While mouse aiming is superior, analogue is objectively better than WASD
Buy a ps3 move nu Chuck for 10 bucks.
>>323117603
You can use the Wiimote + nunchuck on PC. I guess not all games allow you to use both a controller and m&k but plenty do.
And yes there are many shovelware accesories like that for PC. They're useless.
>>323117603
>While mouse aiming is superior, analogue is objectively better than WASD
Careful, don't get the mustards started.
They will insist to the bitter end that a device specifically designed for controlling movement in a video game is inferior to a keyboard, something that was designed for fucking typing and not video games at all long before video games existed.
Post bad character designs here.
>>323117529
Why did you design this character op? Seems contradictory.
looks like a high level world of warcraft character
Video games make people violent. Prove me wrong.

>Mother buys an 18+ rated Mature game for her kid
>THIS GAME IS TOO VIOLENT FOR KIDS
>>323118067
IT'S THE INDUSTRY'S FAULT
NOW TURN OFF THAT NINTENDO AND GO TO BED
video games only awaken when humans already are
prove me wrong
>Final Fantasy 14 voice actress found murdered
>London police today confirmed that voice actress Sian Blake, who played the character Yugiri in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, was found dead with her two children in their home this week.

>>323117262
i rather enjoyed her voice acting for Yugiri, it sounded perfect for someone not of Eorzea.
Damn, hope they find that bastard bf of hers.
>>323117262
That is pretty awful
>>323117613
Her bf murdered her and the children?
>>323117808
He's a person of interest currently. He fled to Ghana and hasn't been seen since. Apparently, Sian's sister told the police that Sian was planning on leaving her bf due to him being abusive to her and her children.

I bought this game during the holiday sale and because I heard it was supposed to be really good. I like 3d platformers and stuff, but this one is just like, so much talking and story when i just want to jump on things and have fun.
Did I fall for a meme by buying this game? Does it get better the more you play it? Do the cutscenes eventually stop happening every two minutes?
>>323117043
I remember getting this back in 2005
Now everyone is jumping on board because of Psychonauts 2
My favorite game of all time is turning into a meme game
fuck
How far are you exactly? Just wondering.
Decent game.
People who barely started playing it because of phychonaunts 2 reveal are fags
>no good Hip-Hop inspired games
When are we getting a good rap game /v/?
