Regy Rusty posted:Someone either sell me on or tell me to avoid Steamworld Dig which I just saw featured prominently on the eShop. My kneejerk reaction is to avoid because it mentions "randomly generated levels" and makes me think of Spelunky which I don't care for, but I thought I'd seek more knowledgeable opinions. Steamworld Dig is like a 3/4 hour game where you dig down, find money and items, go back to the surface and buy upgrades which will let you dig deeper and repeat. It's not really a Metroidvania and it's nothing like Spelunky at all. It's more fun than I'm making it sound but it's super short and there's not really any replayability unless you want to speed run it or something. It's probably one of the better non-Virtual Console eShop games out there though

Regy Rusty posted:Alright come on in no way is that a good recommendation for someone who "wants to see what the Zelda love is all about". My first Zelda game was Zelda II, followed by the first, and then A Link to the Past. And I was a huge fan of Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden so I guess what I'm saying is there needs to be more action-platformer Zelda games.

Zelda 2 is actually very good with a bad difficulty curve But at least it isn't utter garbage like OoT.

I also called 2 boardgame places desperately from my car while driving to Walmart in addition to an independent used game place. Please believe that I didn't want to go there at all.

There are a few boss fights... I don't think I'm doing the game justice as I really enjoyed it, some people think the game is too short. If I remember right I was around 4-5 hours, but if you just dig straight down you can probably finish it in 2 hours. The 3DS version didn't have much replay value, not sure if they added anything to the Wii U version. Alright, sounds like it could be fun but probably not what I'm looking for right now if it's that short. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime in the future. Actually if it's on 3DS it would probably be a great airplane game.

I've played pretty much every Zelda other than the CD-i games and none of them are bad games. SS and the DS games weren't as good as the rest, but they still had their own charm and I bet people would've liked them a lot more if they had been pretty much the same, but had not carried the Zelda title. Say what you will about PH/ST's touchscreen controls, mic gimmicks, and timed stealth dungeon (which was cool btw), they had great characters and ST had an amazing overworld theme that I'm glad is in Smash.

It put me off the series for years. It wasn't until Link's Awakening was getting glowing reviews everywhere that I went "UGH FINE I guess I'll try this." Then I found out that Zelda games were actually good and Zelda 2 was just some horrible mutant anomaly that almost made me miss out on a cool series

All the Zelda games are great. Someone will want to quote this post and be really funny by bringing up the CDi games but the CDi games are also great because of how bad they are.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/graphitelab/hive-jump-0 This game needs to get backed for like $4,000 more in the next 50 hours, seems pretty likely. I'm not affiliated with them, and I want people to go do it, it's $15 to get a free copy on release (Wii U or PC) and name a character something (sadly all the $10 free copy ones are gone). Edit: god drat just found the soundtrack previews on the page, it looks and sounds beautiful. TheRam fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Steamworld Dig is pretty mediocre. It's mostly digging downward and upgrading your shovel to make doing that less tedious. I was hoping for a little more metroidvania and a little less upgrade treadmill. The foundations of a good game are there but the execution is lousy.

Rirse posted:Probably better for the eShop thread, but how are the GBA VC releases? I am thinking of grabbing Advance Wars. They play beautifully and in addition to what Artix said, you can set your TV to scale your games perfectly instead of filling the screen and it's a lot nicer. Actually, since it came up, why are the GBA games the only ones with screen filtering? I think filters are garbage, except for stuff like Vector Magic, buc it just seems weird that only one of the platforms emulated offers the feature to filter your games.

Possibly because they only recently noticed that it was a feature some (weird) people like when emulating games on a computer, or they may have felt it wasn't necessary for SNES' larger resolution. Even though I'm not someone who would use it, I'm certainly a fan of more options. I actually really like the way they implemented button-mapping, particularly the fact that you can map one button on the virtual controller to multiple buttons on the physical one. This was really nice for Super Metroid, since I loved having SELECT on ZR, but I also sometimes preferred using the - button for it.

Hey everyone remember Splatoon right? Let's see what's the latest news about it is in Game JournalismLook at this idiot posted:I wish Splatoon were a single-player, character-based platforming adventure akin to Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and the original Jak & Daxter Oh good. It's still utter poo poo and basically a parody of itself

A hundred boats slowly make their way towards Normandy's sandy shores, ready to unload their cargo of a thousand squid girls. The door falls open revealing the horrors of the battlefield as the music swells, then a sudden cut to black. The word Splatoon dramatically fades onto the screen.

I've got a short video review in the works but yeh basically this - they went through all the effort of making good pixel art, neat enough environment, good music but then they had like... one puzzle, and a single boss encounter. So much missed potential with this.

SteamWorld Dig isn't bad, I think they did a good job with the atmosphere, platforming, and mining. The upgrade system isn't perfect, and the combat is shallow, but I wouldn't say terrible or anything.. It's ripe for a sequel to expand on. also the game featured very little pixel art from what I remember

Ultigonio posted:Actually, many people who enjoy Zelda combat hate Skyward Sword's combat because, to them, it's just a series of boring "puzzles" - commonly considered analogous with Simon Says. I enjoy the combat in Skyward Sword a fair bit, especially when it comes to beating the hell out of Demise by furiously waving around your right arm and rhythmically thrusting your left arm. The problem with Skyward Sword's combat was having the dogshit Bokoblins as the most common enemy in the game while leaving enemies with more interesting patterns like Lizfoes and Stalfoes to appear in very limited and specific locations and only letting you fight one to two at a time. Skyward Sword was designed to be played in 15 minute intervals months apart so the deepest they ever go with combat is a one-on-one encounter with a single enemy with some kind of pattern to it. The two points they subvert this are the three stalfoes and the Shadow section of the final dungeon, which were the best parts of the game to me because I had to think about things other than the one guy directly in front of me. The Zelda minigame in Nintendoland on the other hand gives you a large amount of enemies with interesting patterns and relationships so if anyone wants to experience the good parts of Skyward Sword just play that.
