Wait, is Senua that bad? I was looking forward to playing that one.
Anons make the worst game ever

Senua is an incredible experience, but you’ll be disappointed if you go into it expecting deep / challenging combat.
I’ve heard the same is true about Scorn

Hellblade is amazing. It’s a short bit very cinematic and immersive experience. Playing with headphones is a must, imho.

It’s really good actually, unless you were looking for a different kind of game.
PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Senua is great. The combat felt fine to me, though it definitely wasn’t the game’s focus.

Play it with headphones! It’s insanely important. I didn’t believe it but I put on headphones after a couple hours and regretted not having started with them. I ran a mixer so my partner and I could both listen.

It’s great, but it’s an experience. The combat is fine, but it’s how it works with the story that makes it special. Headphones are an absolute must (like, I genuinely think you will be having lesser, less authentic gameplay experience if you’re not using headphones). I thought it was a lovely piece of media.

As someone who hates souls games, make sure there are undodgeable attacks by enemies. Example, you’re walking past a wall and something attacks and kills you from behind. Also, make sure there are huge bosses with ambiguous hit boxes and indeterminable strike locations so dodging is weird and dumb.

Every mission is like this one from GTA:VC. Easy to fail, unskippable intro and you can’t save during it. Add minute-long loading times and it’s perfect.

30 minute cutscene that dumps a lot of exposition and it ends with a timeskip into the tutorial.

You’ll interact with three objects to progress the unvoiced cinematics and you’ll like it, or you’ll get the trolley again!

Lol, I just said that to my wife! She’s just finished Heavensward, and it took a lot of “seriously it gets better! But also I played through the first hour of the new expansion and fought one mob. Of three low-level trash creatures. So… but it’s good! Really!”

progressing through dialogues is achieved with ever-changing buttons (and combos?) displayed on screen, but in an ever-changing location.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
And every QTE is Press X To Not Die.
There are a dozen per cutscene.
taladar@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
With buttons on screen that change position based on the length of the dialog line

Have to make permanent choices early on. Get poor, half-assed introduction into lore that is way overcomplicated.
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Mind you, Monster Hunter World forces every player of a hunting squad to view an unskippable story mission cutscene in their own hosted instance before being able to join another player’s session of the same mission.
Lots of watching the cutscene in a solo hunt, abandoning the mission, then joining on a friend.

There’s a skip button in every cinematic but it does nothing.

They run a click-powered cryptominer under the hood, transforming your anger into crypto currency.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Game is not open-source.

Choices once made (purchasing armor) cannot be undone later. Buy a half-assed weapon in round 1, fill that slot forever and never be able to throw it away later.

Main companion is “non-binary”

Why would that make the game worse, unless you’re a bigot?

What game were you referring to with this
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Does not run fluently on a modern computer in 2024.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Requires internet connectivity even though single-player.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Enemies get way harder as you progress through the game and upgrade your weapons, making all these upgrades essentially useless.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Earned levels increase your character’s size permanently. As your character grows, it can no longer sneak into small tunnels to catch precious loot.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
You have to spend your earned money after every round. You cannot save it to learn what skills you actually need and then bulk-buy later.

When you die you have to re-start from the beginning. From the very beginning.

4x type games that don’t tell you how values are calculated. “Oh, but there’s a wiki!” That’s great, but not an excuse.
