OH NO!
Retro survival horror seems like a perfect fit for indie developers, I'm surprised we haven't seen more of it done with actual single player modes and ps1 style graphics. Would be a nice fill in while the industry takes its sweet time bringing the genre back (though with RE7 and TEW2 I have hope).

Of course indies gotta indie so there'd be some dumb twist or precious writing where the Umbrella equivalent was actually a student loan servicer and the real survival horror is living as a millennial with an English degree or some poo poo.

It's a trend that's blown up recently on Steam. But all those games are bad. And if this Vaccine is the Vaccine I think it is, the Switch now has the worst one.

Honestly, you can probably expand that out to any mobile platform. I can probably count on one hand the number of enjoyable iOS games I've played that came out this year. It's just become this inescapable cesspool of homogenous freemium poo poo.

I read the last two pages.... because seriously you guys/gals don't quit. I wanted to know the general goonsensus on Bomberman R after all the patches and a 40% off sale in EU.

I enjoyed using a multi-tap on the SNES to play 4 player.... I heard the patches have had a positive impact..is the multiplayer still live?

P.S I look forward to fishing out the genuine response to this post...

I have not played it personally, but I have heard that it is very much an early Super Bomberman gameplay-wise, whatever that means to you. Even at 40% off, though, you're still paying about 30 euro funbux or whatever for Bomberman in 2017. Take that into consideration.

Also, the gimmicks for the Pyramid Head and Vic Viper bombers look interesting imo.

You like hold back and tap jump? I havent played in a while. Its not really like a dodgy left right game as much as like a time the backflip type of game

Same as the other ones, jump to the sides or backflip. Try switching jump to B in the options. The default sucks, especially for combat.

Somehow when I get really tense in a fight and try to dodge I always end up crouching, probably from squeezing the poo poo out of the controller.

Maybe it's just me but dodging seems rather useless outside of flurries.

Also it took me a while to figure out dodging is about timing instead of actual positioning, if you're trying to trigger a flurry rush that is.

They just released a pretty significant patch for it this week. I picked it up for $35 used, haven't played it much but it seems OK. I think the biggest complaint is that there's not really enough content to justify the $50 price, not that there's anything inherently wrong with it.

Yeah if you try to dodge like a lionel sword by sight instead of timing you'll get inconsistent results of like flipping through the blade unharmed or getting killed by thin air. They were really inconsistent with like active frames or hitboxes or whatever idk the terminology.

I have the yellow joycons and they are nice. Been playing Cave Story + since I never got it on the PC.

Still can't get very far in ARMS, I'm stuck in the rank 4 tournament. Helix is my my and he blorbs to my heart's content.

I finally got a strategy guide for Mario Kart so I can learn the tracks while I pretend to work.

Honestly though the differences between slugs metal are pretty minor and they're all extremely good for the same reasons.

Even 4 and 5 are worth playing once if you have someone to play co-op with, but 1, 3, and X are the ones I can actually sit down and just play on my own every now and then. If you're new to the series, I'd recommend just playing them in order. There aren't any radical gameplay improvements in the later games, it's just a matter of what level designs you prefer.

3 has lots of branching paths with unique set pieces in each to keep the game replayable, but the argument against that is that after a couple of plays you'll just settle into your favorite path anyway and that the more linear X just flows better as a whole. Personally, I like both games equally because they both have lots of shooting and explosions.

4 is considered bad because it's basically a shovelware game made up of content recycled from the previous games, but it also has the best soundtrack in the series so play it just for that. 5 is bad because it was released ~40% complete, with entire cut levels and boss fights still present in the ROM data.
