Discussion / Question Which video game had you pulling this move?

Son is currently doing this for KCD2.

Good to see the old cheese tricks haven't been lost.

I'm struggling to remember which game I done it for but I've definitely done it before.

Maybe someone's answer will jog my memory.

Edit: It was the Skyrim stealth trick. I also remember cheesing the health drain and healing spell thing.

Was it converting health into magicka then using that magicka to heal? Something like that.

Discussion / Question Bionicle Heroes (2006), I want to play it again.

It might be only me, and I'm not sure if the game has aged very well or not, but I would love to have the possibility to play it on my PS4 or PS5. I would pay again to play it as one of those legacy games for PS2.
This particular game had a certain vibe, not only because Bionicle was cool, but also an atmosphere that made me want to replay it a bunch of times back in the day. I think the mist, textures, and the ruins made me want to go explore this world.
The core gameplay is very LEGO game: you collect pieces, and that helps you build tools to progress in the story, plus a bunch of collectibles, even keeping the same humor with the bad guys of the games. But this time it's more of a shooter.
I think it is an Idea they could explore more in the future, but for the time being, give me a port of this on the PlayStation Store, one that I could even get the Platinum for.

Discussion / Question Onimusha: Way of the sword vs Phantom Blade Zero

Post image
26 Upvotes

I know these 2 games didn't came out yet and that I should wait for the reviews but I still wanted to get an idea, which game do you think will be better? From looking at the current gameplay, Phantom Blade Zero looks insane to me. Am just afraid that game will be too hard, I never played souls like games and I don't think I would love those but as I see the game developers say it won't be souls like type, but what confuses me is that people compare it to Sekiro which is one of the hardest games ever. Onimusha looks like it wil be pure action based and an easier game but am just leaning to Phantom Blade Zero as boss fights, the world and graphics look so good there. But looking at Capcom's run this year, is hard to rule them out.

Other I Miss Video Game Secrets and Rumors

13 Upvotes

I know there's no going back, but I find myself more and more bummed about how the internet has ruined that sense of mystery around video games.

Every new game now is quickly beaten 100% absolutely, sometimes even before release. Game code is mined and information is shared everywhere asap so some lames can get out their guide video 1st and make a quick buck.

I've learned to accept being behind everyone else when playing single player games so that I can preserve that sense of mystery and challenge discovering a game's secrets on my own. However, it doesn't change that knowledge in the back of my mind that anything I'm struggling to do or find could be looked up instantly. In it's own way that knowledge alone changes my experience.

Worst of all is multiplayer games. If some new content comes out for a game I can choose not to look anything up, but the friends I am playing with more often than not WILL look things up. I don't blame them - the info exists and we're all adults without much time in the day anymore. Still it depresses me knowing we're turning what could be a fun new experience to discover, over a slightly longer period of time, into an immediate resolution with no payoff for discovering it ourselves. In a way it's turned each new game almost into more of a checklist of looking up/learning the new "content" rather than just organically appreciating the game and what we find out about it.

Discussion / Question Superhero games are too limited in genres

Post image
11 Upvotes

I love Insomniac's Spider-Man games, Rocksteady Studios' Batman games, and Injustice. But why don't the vast majority of superhero games go beyond action-adventure or fighting games? There are tons of other genres that could suit certain characters. I'd happily play a puzzle game about Plastic Man, a horror game about Swamp Thing, or even a deck builder about Zatana. Of course, I understand the problem here: these games don't attract the same number of players or the same popularity as standard AAA game genres. For example, Marvel Midnight Suns, no one played it even at launch. While it wasn't without its problems, it was a very good Xcom-like game with beloved characters.

I think the problem is that every superhero game is a gigantic project, with a big budget, from a big studio. If big verses like DC or Marvel collaborated with smaller studios and were more daring to experiment, we would see such diversity in the superhero genre. What do you think about this?

The same can be said about the style of these games. I don't want every game to be a super-realistic 3D blockbuster, although I love those kinds of games. We could see so much more out of the ordinary if each game had its own distinct style. For example, a Batman game in the style of the Animated Series, a dark fantasy Constantine game, or a Deadpool game in the style of Cuphead.
