I am aware, that's one of the reasons I bought it. They learned from their mistakes.

Played Final Fantasy 9 for a bit, and for a 16 year old game it still holds up incredibly well. For starts, the port does its job very well, as far as I'm concerned, with some minuses. The new HD textures look really nice, but the discrepancy between them and the low quality backgrounds can be a bit off putting. Also, changing the pixelated icons in the menus for "clean" ones really weirds me out. With that said, I had a blast with the game itself: the "magical" aura this game carries reflects on each single aspect of it, from the music, with its cheerful tones, to the graphics and character designs, that seem to have come straight out of a Disney movie, to even the combat systems, as weird as it sounds lol. It all makes a very nostalgic experience, and I can't wait to have even more of it.
By the way, here's what I meant by "discrepancy".

Why does he wear the mask!?
They said its more accessible than their other games. I'd say go for it.
Could check out their LP's streams on Twitch too.

Phew, finally beat the
thingies in Irithyll. That was tougher than some boss fights. Doing it in co-op would have been fun but that place turns into a nightmare in ember form. Invasions up the wazoo.
Same goes for
sadly. It's a PvP hotspot which makes for a life of pain to get some jolly cooperation in PvE

I guess I been out of the loop but, the Doom Open Beta is at Mostly Negative reviews now on Steam.

Paradox has tried to make it the most approachable GS game ever. It starts off as a more traditional 4X kind of thing and morphs into a more grand strategy kind of thing mid-game and beyond, with all the nuances that entails... Or at least, it's supposed to. There's plenty of footage out there now to give you a general idea of how it plays and what it's like.
Check the Stellaris thread on GAF for some info. The last few pages have links to all of the development diaries, some streams, and even a species creator web app.
play it and find out
it's boring af, it's like if they took quake, stripped out maneuverability and rocket jumping and turned the run speed down, mixed in some halo and then added a COD like loadout, perk and leveling system

Not going to waste a couple hours to download something, I have no interest in ever since they showed the gameplay at E3 and people telling me I should be "excited" for a franchise that looks like it's playing a decade of catch up.
Also that sounds sad, uh no thanks. I already dealt with 1 bad beta this week.

I was hoping it'd feel like a better version of Rage.
I mean, I didn't play it, but I'm going to go ahead and say that it's probably shitty.
I'm not surprised. The single player portions that they showed were all fucking terrible and missing the point of DOOM, so them fucking up the multiplayer too seems plausible.
Implementation was sub-optimal to say the least. It might make sense looking at the stat but when this happened to me, the only thing I thought was "this is bullshit".
Justifying a new stat they introduced should never mean "jank" like this happening.
Glad the stats in DS3 are trimmed of needless stuff entirely, Adaptability & Resistance.
So ya here's the problem with the hitboxes perception.
There might be a problem, but you were clearly hit with the attack. The issue comes from the way the animation plays after you were hit. It's merely a perception issue as you're forced into an animation despite being in a visually strange position initially. I see this nearly ubiquitously with the 'bad hitboxes' narrative, to the point I'm starting to believe there isn't an issue.
Also, friends don't let friends fat roll.

I don't see him being hit with the attack at all (well, he's hit once the game decides to teleport him in front of the weapon, but that doesn't count)
mostly i want it to have the kind of emergent storytelling aspects to it that i heard from the crusader king series
i like that stuff a whole lot
I can tell you exactly why:
- Not the original DOOM
- Not the original DOOM
- Not the original DOOM
- Arena shooters are a dead art
The largest complaint I noticed is that, unlike games like Quake 3 Arena or Unreal Tournament, you don't have to take control of the map and its resources because you don't spawn with nothing to your name. Lack of that ruined the tension/urgency you'd usually get with it.

It's handled badly at most you should be knocked down and take reduced damage for something like this. I really don't understand people that give it a pass at all it is clearly not handled well and is not a problem in the other games.
He gets hit by the blade before the teleport.
I agree that you should just be knocked down, but it is definitely a problem in the other games. In every single other game this happens.
I thought you were bad, but now all is in the past, all is forgiven and everything can begin anew.

I had fears that the big throwback with
Anor Londo
I haven't encountered such a thing DeS, DS nor DS3. Believed low Agility/i-frames stat was responsible for that since a friend told me that was the reason for the weird "animation". Interesting that it is apparently not.

The Road of Sacrifices is a real pain in the dick.
I've been trying to Sun Bro through it to get my bearings, but damn....the amount of invades is just ridiculous. Multiple occasions I've had Host, 2x Sun Bros, 1x Mad Phantoms, 2x Dark Phantoms.
It's a mess.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I've been playing the beta and having a bit of fun with it. The map control criticism is a little odd, because I think they try to make it a little more of a mobile concept with the demon runes and the warpath mode. Warpath is basically a king of the hill variant where the capture zone is on a one-way rail. The demon rune represents a lot of killing power, but it's actually not that hard to kill the demon and take the rune for your team.
I dunno, I don't really have a lot of Unreal or any Quake experience to compare it to, but I don't think it's necessarily as terrible as the reviews are making it sound. I imagine it'll be better with the map editor and more maps too.
On the other hand, I can't think of any really good reason a PC player would drop 70$ on it when you can literally play UE4 for free, or any host of other games for cheaper. Seems very much a release tailored for consoles. A lot like Battlefront, really. I had fun with that beta but never bought in there either.

I haven't really had it happen to me of course backstabs re-align things at times but that's the only thing I can recall. The thing is it isn't a notable detriment to any of the other titles and I feel I made a mistake when I get hit and not that some weird bullshit caused me to teleport a sword through my chest. In 3 you can even get knocked out of backstab range and not get hit and the same is true with enemies. The point is things should be visualized properly and if you don't take the full brunt of the hit this should not happen.
Being a Thief really made my life easier for that one. My tendency to stick ranged definitely didn't, though. Found it a lot more easy to get in close. t liked the diversity of attacks on that boss. Also,
the wall of fire
It's weird. If you read through the Steam reviews, that's right up there. I haven't played it myself - I'm not big on multiplayer betas and I doubt I'll be purchasing this DOOM when, like you said, there are free alternatives of the same kind, or, you know, other games in general.
People probably complaining for the sake of complaining as usual, with every sequel. It's a constant in life.
Has yet to happen to me in DS3 too, but then again every "grab" attack I noticed enemies doing is telegraphed like fucking crazy so i'm out of the way wayyyyyyy before the attack actually starts. Although if you want a example of terrible hitboxes you can just go check the dogs in DS3. I swear, every dog type enemy in the series is fucking terrible with their hitboxes and super jumping tracking abilities.

War for Cybertron games were good if not a bit generic thirdperson action games. Devastation is the newest one and my personal favorite, especially if you like G1 transformers style and platinum games brand of action.
Anyone got an ETA on the next "Big" steam sale. Trying to decide if I want to blow some money soon or wait a bit.

the boss itself wasn't the issue, its all the dumb poison nonsense before him + the douche invader npc who always swung at me mid animation to enter the boss fight so by the time im actually in the fight i was poisoned, and nearly about to die so I was easy pickings. once i got those 2 other npcs to distract the invader + the boss when i enter it was smooth sailing. honestly they didn't even do much in the fight
did you find the bonfire close to the fog gate?
i can't see the run to the boss being any sort of trouble if you found that, that's why i'm surprised that u say that

but i own dangenronpa 1 for the vita, physical tho. why you trying to bullshit my chances for dangenronpa 2?
i did, idk man that part was just really damn hard for me. i hate the poison areas in the souls games. if i was to ever hack these games I'd skip those parts, hate them so damn much
Shame it cost you rep, but congrats to Valve for acting fast at least.
Nope, he just changed name to someone else: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Iexder/
For a game that is mostly references and tributes to past games (Castlevania, Super Mario Bros, etc) as a Metroid-like title, Castle In The Darkness has been of surprisingly good quality. It's very much NES style with one hit kill spikes and screen by screen, but enough to offer different boss fights (most of the references) and power ups to keep me going forward.
I'm happy I was convinced to give it a try rather than just just pass it off as another cheap gag title.
War for Cybertron for third person shooting that takes the story serious. Lot of people think it's a great single play through and it has a lot of loving tributes to the franchise since it was made by fans of it.
Transformers : Devastation if you want something close to the cartoon and Platinum's combo heavy stylish combat. More of a game to play if you are okay with the style of going back and improving your score on missions as you get new weapons and abilities.
Singularity is worth checking out for the time manipulation stuff. If that doesn't interest you though, it's not all that great of a shooter and you have plenty of other games from that time worth checking out instead.

haven't gotten to that place, actually now that you mention it the reason i stopped playing last night was cause i didn't know where to go next. i beat what I assume are 2 "main" bosses (onest that link you to the primal bonfire), The Rotten, and some woman who's greatest sin was trying to rekindle the first bonfire or whatever, i forgot her name
Started up The Walking Dead S2 after a long break from the episodic titles run I had in Q3 with the ending of LiS and GoT's first seasons.
It's a lot stronger feels wise but man for me in comparison to S1, but the same amount of dumb. Also, is nobody safe? Come on. Episode 1. RIP
when lord knows it was meant to happen. ffs.

Omid and stray dog who would kill for a can of beans. Of course they had to kill the dude with the pregnant woman, right? That just made me feel like I fucked up dropping the water bottle
don't worry, it's ok for most people
it's a dungeon full of spiders
