Good. Go to Amazon or your local second hand retailer whenever you get the chance. Or download everything on PSN. Make sure to download Part IV: Nirvana to get the true ending of the game. That is the game's major flaw. The final chapter and true ending was cut and sold off as DLC. The DLC is really cheap by now, so no big.
Well to be fair, if actually 45 degrees that’s half of completely vertical. So unless it’s a rubber tarmac or something it could prove difficult to impassible, depending on the footwear, gear carried, terrain type, wet/dry, etc. But certainly Ubisoft never took the physics that far.
Sure you could say someone in flats might have trouble...but this guy is simultaneously climbing vertical cliffs, mantling up lips of ledges and rooftops, base jumping, and a plethora of other activities, so I find it unlikely he's wearing inappropriate footwear, and is physically incapable of the feat. I mean I've clambered up shit that steep in just regular sneakers as a kid, and it wasn't hard. And since the gear he's carrying doesn't impact anything else when it comes to traversing the map, it just irks me. Every time my brain is like "ok I can scale that, that's totally doabl....oh...no...no apparently it's not doable."
Well, on the bright side, at least they have multiple save files. OTOH, Konami did us all an inadvertent solid by making Metal Gear Survive so craptacular nobody would want to buy a second or third save slot. So yay Konami?
Major Zero….is what its sales hopefully are for that crap. It’s almost like Konami went all-in on the Biggest Train Wreck train.Well, on the bright side, at least they have multiple save files. OTOH, Konami did us all an inadvertent solid by making Metal Gear Survive so craptacular nobody would want to buy a second or third save slot. So yay Konami?
Metal Gear Survive’s extra character save slots cost $10
An expected feature somehow became an expensive add-onwww.polygon.com
Isn't the dude in Farcry 4 carrying like 14 guns at once along with hundreds of rounds of ammo? Yeah, anything more than a slightly steep hill really might be unclimbable.
And scaling 50+ meters of rope, swinging like fucking tarzan, swimming with all the stuff instead of sinking to the bottom like a rock, running non-stop, close quarters shanking dudes to death, the list goes on and on. But, a slight incline?! THAT'S CRAZY TALK !!
Related gripe: Carry Weight. To be perfectly blunt: It's usually implemented quite idiotically. Applied logically, your character will almost always end up carrying several times the carry weight that they should be able to well before hitting their weight threshold - even ignoring the actual question of how they're carrying them (the only time I can recall seeing that even remotely well handled was Death Stranding) - so the simple act of including weight as a mechanic is kinda in an odd place to begin with.
It makes me appreciate games like Uncharted more, where what you see is what you get, but of course other genres are full of stuff to find and don’t have that luxury of simplicity. Which is where it gets pointless to imbue a sense of realism involving carry weights. The more stuff a game throws at the character, the more there should be an appropriate system in place for it all. Also the more fantastical or mystical a game is, the more it should apply that same “logical” fabric to inventory. If a game insists on including a carry weight for items that can never even be physically represented on the player model, then there should be something like a Soulslike “bottomless box” that can be summoned from anywhere outside of boss rooms or specific story encounters. Or like MGS4’s Mk2/Drebin, or MGSV’s Fulton system.
Only Nintendo and sometimes Sega still do Auto scrollers. Sega did it recently with Sonic Forces on one of the classic Sonic stages and it sucks hard. There are some indie games that do auto strollers but not many. I hate auto scrollers too. Especially if they're in a Castlevania game.
This was one of my biggest complaints during my first playthrough of, sorry, @happyninja42, Dark Souls. Ornstein has a particularly annoying attack wherein he can spear you from across the arena, and he's flying for all intents an purposes, though it's telegraphed as a leaping attack. Sucks the most when he opens the fight with it as you've just come through the fog gate, trying to orient yourself, and he's already in mid air on a rail directly for you. Talk about a disheartening way to begin a tough fight.
Yes this does seem to be very common in souls-like games. I noticed it a lot with God of War, and with some of the various souls clones I've tried out, like The Surge, and Nioh 2. It's very annoying.
Sometimes, enemies are programmed to read your inputs for maximum frustration. If you're both blocking, and you hit "X" to heal, they're "trained" to attack within the seconds of the healing animation. It trains the player to distance themselves before performing any actions that might make them vulnerable to enemies in close proximity or enemies with ranged attacks that can capitalize on "sloppy" play. Not saying it's fair or fun to learn, but, I've learned it.
The problem is that plenty of them are ALSO programmed to just fucking follow you, and they invariably move faster than you, have lunge attacks that cover half the continent, thus never actually giving you space to breath and heal.
