BisterdDave posted:How's Owlboy? I like the art style and it seems like a decent indie. I really enjoyed Owlboy. It's a pretty good platformer that's a bunch of fun to play, and has a pretty good story. Some people have called it a Metroidvania. These people are wrong. There's not really a lot of exploring. It is a little on the short side. But honestly, I loved it. But I also dislike Hollow Knight, so I might be crazy.

If you want a good indie platformer with great pixel art play Iconoclasts instead

Put me in the "Owl Boy bad" category. It's the one of like only two or three games that I've finished that have left me with a distinctly negative opinion.

bushisms.txt posted:In my experience, Zelda, not just botw, has never been a demo experience. You need to invest yourself and really get a feel for the systems for each entry. It will also have a vr version in a couple of weeks, so there's that. Yeah the weapon degredation is extremely off putting at first but, as someone who usually loathes such systems, I started to appreciate the deliberate design of it a few hours in. Weapons are all over the place. It's just one of the ways the game encourages you to both explore and consider resource use

I thought Owlboy was alright, the best thing about it is the pixel art and music though. If you want an actual Metroidvania I would recommend The Iconoclasts or Mummy Demastered over it though.

Iconoclasts fell flat for me in a way I can't really explain. I think I might have liked it better if it had been shorter, but it's already on the short side.

RBA Starblade posted:Joking aside I'm thinking I'm going to get myself Smash, Mario XCOM, Mario Odyssey maybe, and a couple others. I may get Zelda but I played at a friend's and the weapon degradation bugs me a lot. Though then again I beat most of Skyward Sword using the sword as little as possible due to the malfunctioning motion controls so who knows! It's hard to overstate how good Breath of the Wild is. You don't need to play it right away because it's hands down the best game on the console and nothing else is going to ruin the experience for you, but do eventually play it. Odyssey will ruin every prior 3d platformer for you. Make sure you're done with the genre before you touch it.

The point is the game is probably 21GB and they're too lazy to pay for a 32GB card and someone probably said "hey since we're requiring them to download part of it from the internet why not just make the whole thing a download and save another $3". It's disgusting really. Hopefully it sells 0 retail copies.

i was mildly skeptical of BOTW, but I just started playing it last month and it's definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Obviously no game is for everyone. I love Bloodborne but I wouldn't recommend it to all PS4 owners. But Nintendo crafted Breath of the Wild with such care, skill, and detail that I would feel irresponsible not recommending it to everyone with a Switch. It's not perfect and there's plenty to quibble with. I get why weapon degradation bothers people. But the whole of the experience, the sum of the parts, is just so good. It's so good.

Furthermore, Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Dreamcasts established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps2, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games. The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

honestly I feel like the weapon stuff in BotW is like the timer in Majora's Mask in that some people just have a really visceral reaction to it existing and get super turned off regardless of how the game actually is built around the feature's inclusion (generally because they don't continue playing the game enough to get a feel for it in context) I had a friend who hated Majora's Mask and eventually I found out they stopped playing before even getting the song of healing (which you learn after the first day)

It's probably not even a whole $3. The figure I remember seeing is that MROM costs about 20% as much as an equal mount of flash memory.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Yeah, I really should pick this up sometime. it's funny because on paper, there's nothing crazy innovative about what the game does. Obviously, Nintendo didn't invent an open world map, location-revealing-towers, foraging for food to make buffs, giving characters voice acting, weapons breaking, gliding transportation, etc. To be fair, I'm not sure if the climbing system has a precedent, but almost everything else has been done before. But, none of it has been done better. It's all distilled perfectly and the systems integrate so well that it's such a joy to play. I can turn on that game and sit there for like 7 hours because it just sucks me in. I'm only halfway through and I had to force myself to take out the cartridge so I could give Mario Rabbids a try and I just want to go do some shrines instead. gently caress the yiga clan hideout though.

Re: Wolfenstein not having a physical copy. My dude, let me tell you about PC games that are released in stores that are just empty boxes with a code in them. Like this Sims 4 Seasons case I got because Target had it 50% off on release week for some reason.

Uh... I don't think you experience the same story I experience. He sacrifices himself at the end, which is a little different than what you suggest. I guess for me, the story resonated because I've been in Owlboy's situation. Where there are people who think less of you just because you're different, and maybe not capable of doing the same things that other people can, so they assume you can do nothing, or that when you try and fail, you failed because you didn't try hard enough, or you failed on purpose. Instead of, you know, just struggling and needing support. And also, Owlboy has a lot of friends in the game, as well as bullies. Like, it's cool that you hated or dislike the game. It's a subjective experience. I didn't think the forced stealth segments were bad because it never felt like I was fighting the game. But I don't think the story is as dire as you're making it out to be.
