Durante, the guy who made DSfix for Dark Souls on PC, is apparently now being contracted by companies to improve their PC ports. I know that some of his fixes for the PC port of Deadly Premonition were eventually patched into the official release but it's cool that game companies are taking it one step further.

As a kid I made it a point to get the best mansion possible in Luigi's Mansion. Now, if I remember correctly, doing this required getting virtually 100% of the money in the entire game. And one thing you absolutely had to do was water the plants outside, because doing it enough times would give you a shitload of money. I went through that entire game, doing everything right, and forgot to water the plants ONE loving TIME. I got the second best mansion. It was the first time a video game broke my heart. It would not be the last.

You don't have to do literally everything but if you didn't know about the really obscure money stuff then yeah you wouldn't be able to miss any plants or pearls. There's almost 50,000,000 more than you need for the highest rank, but it's easy to lose some, fail to vacuum some up, or miss secret/one time spawns.

I've been watching some Lufia 2 Ancient Cave speedruns recently, spurred on by this one in two hours during RPG Limit Break 2016(definitely a pro-watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6BnmqhXK5w&hd=1 It makes me wonder though, I played the poo poo out of the ancient cave part of lufia 2 back in the day. Is there any game that is essentially exactly that nowadays, easily available on PC/Steam? I don't mean a standard roguelike like Dungeons of Dredmor and such, but rather a specific RPG-style game similar to the 100-floor design of the ancient cave. There's probably an entire genre out there like it but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I was more meaning some kind of official product, not a romhack, if possible.

Double Dragon 4 isn't very good. I mean, it's not a bad game, but it's an obviously rushed one that clearly didn't really spend any time on polish. The nostalgic sprites are neat, and all the old Double Dragon moves are there (except the one where you sit down on a downed enemy and beat them to a pulp, for some reason), all the old enemies are back, but the feel of the game is wrong. This is no mega man 9, where the feel of the old games is recaptured perfectly, and it feels like picking up where the series left off. Despite the diverse moveset, the game's pace is so hectic that you're almost always better off just doing basic punches and kicks. Enemy attacks come too quick to really anticipate, so instead of trying to read the opponent and fighting them, you're just mashing the attack button and hoping to do as much damage as possible before you get knocked down by some surprise super move, which almost all enemies have now. The deliberate rhythm of the old games is nowhere to be seen. The story in a game like this doesn't really matter, but the translation isn't very good all the same. If you guys just want to remember playing Double Dragon 2 with your little brother, buy this and play through it once and forget about it, and it's probably 7 dollars well spent. But if you're an insane person like me and think way too highly of a mostly-dead beat-em-up series, this is kind of a letdown. Double Dragon Advance and Double Dragon Neon are some of the most fun I've ever had playing games, and while that's a really high bar to clear, I was at least hoping this game could do its own thing well and recapture what was great about the NES entries in the DD series. Too bad. /5

All two days of it at least.Skeezy posted:Gaming plans for this month. - Work on doing some Streaming - - Replay Uncharted 1 for a refresher before 2 and 3 - Replay Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance thanks to 2.8 - Get back over to Round 1 and play some DrumMania again* *Bonus Plan: See if recording/streaming at the Arcade can actually work with/via my phone.

Ancient Cave was an insanely fun extra thing that didn't need to be in lufia 2 but was way more fun than the actual game and needs to be copied by something.

Also goddamn it why only local co op. Who really plays PC games with a buddy next to him if it's not a lan party. Either that or get two USB dongles/wires for controllers I guess. Every single loving beat em up I have, none of them have online co op, just local and it's like goddamn it. LET me beat up drat goons with my friends. I can only hope that River City Ransom Undeground is really good. We need more beat em ups drat it.

All the original great beat-em ups were conceived out of 80s zeitgeist fears of organized crime and urban decay, now in today's political climate I think the opportunity is there for a modern revival where you beat down nazis and corporate shills with razor-lined briefcases.
