BioEnchanted posted:The sheer nonsense in Creature from the Krusty Krab is amazing so far - the main idea is that each level is a dream each character is having dealing with their personal strengths and weaknesses/desires - Spongebob dreams of being a hotrod racer while finally earning his license, and the character's art styles actually change for that level to the grotesquely heavily outlined punk style cartoons, with bloodshot eyes and cracked teeth and poo poo. Currently fleeing a giant Krabby Patty as Plankton, who tried to make himself match it by using a growth ray to grow himself to 100 times his normal size - resulting in the average height of a normal fish. Seeing you post reminds me that I was playing Hybrid Heaven the other day. It's a N64 real time, fighting game RPG where you fight off bioweapons with punches, kicks, and wrestling moves. I don't know too many people who played it, but it's a good game, mostly for the combat. You can create your own combos and learn new moves from having them used on you. It's the kind of old school and obscure you specialize in at this point.

I just started Yakuza 6, and the game is just fantastic. My favorite part is the minigame involving the baby. It makes use of ALL of the dualshock 4's capabilities (motion detection, the touchpad, etc). It really took a lot to get used to, because I hadn't played a game that really took advantage of that.

Been playing an MMO lately called Project Gorgon, its not good. I'm enjoying it anyway, it's very runescape-ish in that there are probably 100 skills you can level up individually and I'm constantly laughing outloud when I find a new one. Recently I found out that if you use a flower from your inventory you can level up 'nature appreciation'

I picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn because of the good reviews and hype online and from friends. I love the little detail of the ancient world items names and their icons, like the Ancient Toothpick, and the picture is a cork opener, or "Glow Bracelet", which is a wrist watch. The sheer amount of how far you can explore- I've only run into a couple of invisible walls, one said I was going off the boundary of the game map and the other was keeping me from climbing in somewhere I needed to go to after talking to someone. It's really neat being able to go almost anywhere I can see. The need to approach enemies with caution and planning is a lot of fun, combat feels challenging and organic, and most deaths feel like I deserve it, like when I stealth-killed a Watcher (an easy little robot) RIGHT when a pair of Scrappers (much bigger and nastier robots) came around the corner. OOPS, YOU'RE DEAD. My favorite moment of accidental death was, during the Proving, when you have to take the shortcut, there's a guide who warns you not to use it and shouts, "If you go that way you'll die!" I jumped for the zip line, hit the X button too many times or something, and immediately fell to my death! You were right, man. You were right.

OOPS, YOU'RE DEAD. I love the environmental storytelling - once I was exploring (this is by the winding riverbed west of the start of the game where there isn't much there BTW) during my first time playing and started jumping up a tree - nothing was up there but I was happy to have got up there - until I fell into the branch I was standing on, and saw (not story spoiler, just a neat surprise with no reason to actually go there)handhold straps and seats lining the place- the tree was not only a tree, I had been jumping on a subway train for half the journey and didn't even see the transition. That was awesome.

Hybrid Heaven was incredibly bizarre but I was far too young to understand what the hell I was supposed to be doing and got stuck in some elevator fight. It and Quest 64 (or Holy Magic Century here) were my first RPGs... It's a wonder I kept playing the bloody genre really

I remember reading an egm or generation next or any of those bizarre video game magazines of the 90's hyping up hybrid heaven years before the game came out and it looked like the coolest loving thing Man I really hope there's a Nintendo 64 classic mini and it's either full of bizarre impossible poo poo like hybrid heaven and body harvest or people crack it to finally figure out how to do perfect Nintendo 64 emulation

If I recall correctly, people that have cracked open Nintendo's prior "play classic games" systems have found open-source emulators at the core.

This reminds me that on the Gamcube disk with the 4 zeldas that was released as a preorder bonus with Windwaker. It had Majora's Mask and the main town music was hosed up and glitchy, with a really loud buzzing. Not much else was wrong, but the spot where the majority of the cool events that happen in the game was made super-annoying lol.

I played Hybrid Heaven and man, that game was nuts. The fighting was kind of real-time/turn-based, where you'd select what attack you wanted to do. The more you used an attack the better it got. My friend just right kicked everything and ended up with this hugely powerful right leg, and then couldn't proceed because he came up against an enemy that didn't take much damage from it. I tried to make a wrestler but the throws took heaps of stamina and didn't do much damage. I'd like to play it again, it was real weird.

It gets rudely difficult in the endgame; between enemy damage, a gauntlet to finish the game, and this is probably a dumb kid talking limited items it was brutal.

RE: N64 Mini I could see Nintendo, unsure if the micro console would be a success, being conservative in developing the NES classic and using open source software. And considering the SNES classic is pretty much the exact same solution on the exact same hardware, there's no need to reinvent the wheel there. But considering the inability to purchase either of them catching nintendo off guard, they may be looking off at an N64 mini as an assured success. And so, they might actually throw bodies to fix the N64 emulation problem just to be able to put out something. But that assumes a probable simplicity to the situation due to my ignorance, and it may be more complex (be it the practicality of the technical side, or the realities and expectations from the business side).

I can't see an N64 Mini straying from the games that people have nailed emulation-wise anyway. N64 emulation in general can still be pretty rough in places, but the Virtual Console has shown that they've gotten their own titles and most of the big third-party ones down pat. And that's what they need for something like that: they don't need a perfect emulator, they just need to be able to emulate the games they've picked. The only thing that strikes me about an N64 Mini is that I'm not sure how you'd fill out the lineup without Rare. They were a massive part of the N64's iconic lineup, especially because third parties weren't super on-board with the platform, and I feel like if you can't reach for the likes of the Banjo-Kazooie games, Diddy Kong Racing, and Perfect Dark (they'd be able to use DK64, and Goldeneye is EXTREMELY off the table anyway), they're gonna have to make some weird pulls to fill up the lineup with well-regarded games that weren't considered better on the PS1. ...But it does free up the roster to include Pokemon Snap and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, and if I got those two I'd be happy forever.

It critically wouldn't have the game most people people would expect for an N64 nostalgia trip: GoldenEye. Licensing hells mean an N64 mini would cater heavily to Nintendo first-party stuff, which there is still is a lot of, but it does mean some things would be noticeably lacking. How does Star Wars licensing work these days?
