Thread 714288520

What are some mechanics that still don't make sense to you or go against a game's design?

lost lmao

there's no landing spot for the chopper and it's not the kind that can land in water

>>714288520 (OP)
Active reloading, but boy, it feels great

>>714291253
I see three, maybe four places where it can land

Last hitting was always retarded.

It kind of makes sense if you think of the character as a mercenary who gets paid for kills

that's how you get over to your seaplane from the command tower

>elden ring introduces jumping over sweeps

>you can just roll through it all.

In general I think a boss having a very complex fighting style that takes a lot of time to learn is totally fine as long as you're not dying in 2 hits. That directly hinders a players ability to learn during the fight by ending it almost every time you fail to predict when a windup is finished.
For some reason that became the norm.

exactly, don't want to get eaten by the sharks.

it is, but the laning phase would be absolutely dogshit without it. almost all earlygame interaction comes from people trying to last hit.

Games that want you to explore and experiment but also punishes failure heavily.

Shmups that give you a spread shot and a focus shot but then the scoring system forces you to use them at arbitrary times for points instead of actually just using them as is ideal for shooting down enemies

Not insta-killing someone with melee killed the game for me. When was that, BO3? Advanced Warfare?

the heart ripping mechanic in Mecha Eden
you can instantly kill a mook by ripping its heart out, and you can throw the heart as a grenade
however, in order to defeat medium enemies you need to eat the heart, meaning that throwing it is a misplay and the heart rip ability is on a long cooldown so you get to run laps around medium enemies while waiting for your fun cooldown to tick down
very strange design

I love these stupid wind up toys.

The samurai moblin is pretty decent i guess.

Aircraft carriers are so fucking kino.

Inventory management unless it’s a game that revolves around it like RE4.
Just give me an infinite inventory, automatically sorted according to selectable algorithms, and lessen the amount of junk in the world for balance.

real life is so lame

>>714301095
CARRIER HAS ARRIVED

>>714301095
Not if you fuck up the drones first.

>>714301095
even yemeni goat herder cruise missiles invalidates them

>>714291471
Denying is a great psychological warfare mechanic though.

sub orbital ships that deploy tens of thousands of drones will be the first thing that tests the limits of international agreements not to field weapons in space.
