Protip:
Don't do "The Ballad of Buck Ravers" until you have a large chunk of change. Or Quick-save before doing it so you can go back if you don't have enough money.. There is a person during the quest that sells some great stuff. Problem is that he seems to disappear after the quest and you lose access to those items. |

I've beaten level 99 opponents this way when I was level 50 on the hardest settings. It took time, planning and knowledge of my surroundings but its worth doing and I can do it without suffering one death. Yet, here I am facing some big ass minotaur thing 3x my size in a pit of lava throwing lava balls at me and I apparently can't climb the walls and pummel him from above? Makes no sense.

Me personally, I don't exactly have a problem with the big boss archetype, but it is getting a little over done with every single game incorporating it. Especially so many games now where the final story boss may as well just be a cinematic regardless of difficulty. Mind you, I think DUELIST bosses and not arena big bosses are actually waaaaaaay better. When I say duelist, think of something very close to size of your character and rivaling in ability, but of course they have more. Those are much more enjoyable to me than big bosses, but I think this attributes somewhat to my strong preference for competitive pvp games as well. Love me a good ol 1v1.

Yea, I prefer what you describe, the DUELIST, as long as it isn't a restricted space and i can use the same skills I used throughout the game. I don't even mind the Big Boss, as long as I can attack him using the same skills and mobility I had in the rest of the game.

Pretty much any open world game that uses a restricted "big boss" battle space, but this particular rant is aimed at AC: Odyssey.

Good ol' internet has come to the rescue. I learnt about a second config file to alter. I now have all key bindings to my satisfaction. I actually got quite excited when trying out the game after configuring.
Here is what I don't understand. Given the relative ease in which the config files could be altered what's the rational behind the developer not making key bindings available in the settings menu? Why hard bind the F key but allow other keys to be re-mapped? The rationale is beyond my understanding.

One of the easy things to do in so many games is to abuse the barrier between encounter zone and safe zone, so many games, not even limited to open world, always seem to have this issue where you can literally stand right beside an enemy outside of the encounter zone and they won't attack you. The restriction to your abilities on the other hand, is really just a pain point for players, makes no sense, and is a poor decision by developers. Why take away abilities if it's not a story driven handicap. I also have a gripe with getting your best ability for only the last boss of a game for it to never be used again.

gifted myself a logitech g29 wheel, pedals, and shifter. rediscovering forza horizon 3 while also trying to figure out what combination of control tweaks feels most natural.
so far, can't get past the pendulum effect at speed. tail of the car starts coming out in a turn, and i just can't get it under control again like i can with a game pad or keyboard.

Yeah, I've done that. I'm now at 2.4% I'm struggling to think that the main story can be done in 30 hours. How could one not be distracted?
