    Star Wars KotOR did this really well with the final boss. He heals himself but it makes sense why he can and you can prevent him from doing it if you know how.

    TheSambassador,

    Boss/enemy healing isn’t bad game design. There are a lot of very valid reasons that lead to more interesting interactions.

    • A boss with slow health regen might require players to try to burst the boss down through weakpoints or debuffs
    • A boss entering a second phase and getting their health back creates a cool “oh shit” moment and really emphasizes their power
    • A boss that has an interuptable or preventable heal adds an interesting challenge and requires players to do more than just DPSing them down

    It’s like IRL. When you take the car off the lot its value drops by half.

    Steve,

    Not recently. But diamond stores? Yea.

    Why would you take a car off a diamond store?

    In D&D and BG3 you can just kill them and take your money back, not without consequences though.

    What art medium is this? The colors look deep, like stained glass, or shrinky-dinks.

    trash,

    It’s shrinky-dinks for sure.

    Love to see this article by steve. If you like that sort of humor check out RegularFeatures. He is one of the people appearing in that comedy podcast.

    I’d like to add that game graphics are not as important as file size.

    Games that are 100+gb file size are just on my shit list, I don’t care how good they are.

    corus_kt,

    I wonder if it’s just an optimization problem, assets like movies and textures are not being compressed properly. Fighting games like Tekken have no business being 80gb…

    @TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

    It could also happen because all localised audio is bundled together instead of being available as an optional download.

    onion,

    Wholeheartedly disagree. HDD prices keep going down, you just have this idea stuck in your head that “100GB is huge” when really that is 1.50€ assuming you store the game indefinetly

    iturnedintoanewt,
    @iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

    Yeah but an HDD happens to be rather slow to load these games. Specially with the bigger ones, obviously. So then you need SSD, which aren’t that cheap nor big.

    brb,

    You can get 1tb ssd for around 50€

    AngryCommieKender,

    I just took a look, and I can get a 30TB external SSD in multiple colors for $84.90 with free shipping…

    Gonna have to squeeze one into next year’s budget…

    AngryCommieKender,
    onion,

    That’s probably a scam

    Communist,
    @Communist@lemmy.ml avatar

    While your point is correct, that is likely fake storage.

    lorez,

    No, really. File sizes are always gonna go up. You’re missing out on some great games if you keep doing that. Just an advice.

    My face when I divine smite the boss and his health goes to 5 hp left

    My face when he pops lay on hands greater heal and we’re back to square one.

    chuckleslord,

    Minthara is such a pain, unless you throw her in a pit.

    TerrificTadpole,

    I want her clothes though

    chuckleslord,

    Since she’s a “companion”, she leaves an orb when she goes over. At least she did when the game came out (source, I’m definitely rocking her outfit after throwing her over)

    TwoBeeSan,

    You can get first round hits by stealthing your party next to drum on the ledge of the pit.

    Can also break the bridge that reinforcements come in on.

    Found the hobgoblin a lot more difficult. Think it’s dror ragzin?

    chuckleslord,

    Didn’t have trouble second time. I play like a big dumb dumb cause it both makes it more fun and also I play like a dumb dumb thinking I’m smart. I get there eventually.

    Ragzlin you can put a bunch of firewine barrels on his little stage and then lure everyone next to the barrels using minor illusion. Then if you throw a firebolt at the barrels or drop the hanging brazier, boom. That usually takes out everyone except Ragzlin if you use two or three barrels. The priestess you can drop a silence on in her room that she leads you to and she wont call for help. Easy to blow her up and just walk away whistling.

    TwoBeeSan,

    I always forget the power of barrelmancy.

    @teft@startrek.website avatar

    Barrels is how i finished up Tactician mode today. Smokepowder demolishes dragons.

    TwoBeeSan,

    Have been cruising through act 2 up until last tower fight.

    Will keep a look out for barrels more often.

    Sekiro is the only game that I know of that gives you, the player, the ability to experience what it’s like to grow a second health bar after being defeated.

    Lols, do gaming w Graphics can't save boring mechanics

    new video games have slowly become an interest that i can just flat out not afford anymore

    back in the day you could play a good chunk of stuff with the kind of shoddy office pc anyone had in the home, but its gotten to the point where there is an entry fee of nearly if not over a fucking grand to actually play the latest pc games, with the required upgrades to stay up to date not exactly being cheap either

    i dont think im all that far from the average pc gamer, and triple A titles effectively are not made for me anymore

    RIP_Cheems,
    @RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

    Their are still plenty of great games that aren’t triple A titles or require lots of gpahic upgrades. Just to name a few, hotline Miami, ultrakill, cruelty squad, and more, all made either by stand alone dev teams or sponcerned by good companies like devolver digital.

    I’ll accept it once the boss gets the same amount of health that I do. Or I will accept not healing when I get the same amount of health as the boss.

    Until then though…

    theluckyone,

    Not to mention the mob of henchmen. I just slogged through a small country’s worth of peons meant to serve as a thousand papercuts, whittling my health and resources down… Then this boss comes walking in popping healing kits/potions/whatever like candy.

    C’mon, I’ve only got so much ammo…

    Rentlar,

    …and I need to save my candy for the boss’s boss’s boss which will be the real challenge, of course.

    TwanHE,

    Until you realise you already beat the last boss but still have enough in your inventory for the next 6 play troughs

    hansl,

    Was there ever an RPG where human characters enemies were given the same kind of status as players? Like they have 500hp but you hit them for 30.

    SkyeStarfall,

    Traditional roguelikes tend to do NPCs/enemies which often have comparable stats to the player. With the benefit the player has is a “better AI” aka, an intelligent human behind them.

    FooBarrington,

    Elden Ring :)
