Once upon a time I wanted a strong PC so badly so I could play… Grand Theft Auto IV.
Now, I don’t want anything to do with that franchise. Granted I still do play some AAA stuff, more so PS3 games, and I now want a strong PC for Cyberpunk 2077 to explore its world and give myself extra background for the TTRPG Cyberpunk RED, but other than that I mostly just want indie and retro.
Handsome Jack. Most people find him funny-hateable, but I just found him gratingly annoying. I got two hours into BL2 and quit, then never came back. Which was a pity, because I was playing it with my wife and we had a blast with BL1.
My problem with the Forerunner stuff in Halo 4 is the same problem I have with all the aesthetic changes in 4 and 5 - it’s extremely busy. 1, 2, and 3 have a sleek and simple design language that makes it very easy to tell what’s happening in chaotic combat. The vibrant colors and shiny materials even give Halo 3 an almost heroic fantasy vibe. They deliberately went the other direction with Reach to enhance the grim tone of the game, but environments are still relatively simple so that enemies stand out. 4 and 5 put excessive lines and greeblies on absolutely everything. It’s all so packed with details that you sometimes lose enemies in the background and it can be difficult to tell what you’re looking at.
That was another complaint I had about 4 and 5. It’s just too busy for me to pick out any enemies. I thought it might just be a me thing with my lack of glass but it’s reassuring to here someone bring it up
I finally got started on Disco Elysium. When I was playing Planescape Torment, I thought the game would have been better if it got rid of combat altogether and just be dialogue. And what do you know! Seems like that’s exactly what DE is. Awesome.
I tend not to hate characters that the writers want me to hate. The qualities that they try to use to do that generally just kind of make me hate the writing.
My dislike generally tends to go to characters who I’m expected to have positive attachments to without any events transpiring that would prompt that.
But Morrigan from Dragon Age got to me. Maybe there’s just something unique about how one autistic nihilist can inspire rage in another nihilistic autist.
