the worst escort mission is in mafia 1 where they combine 1) taking away your guns 2) mandatory stealth 3) escorting a guy made of paper. you start out with a baseball bat in a hedge maze and you have to creep around knocking out armed dudes who will perforate you and your buddy instantly if you gently caress up

Neddy Seagoon posted:The problem with Yooka-Laylee is it doubled down on the worst elements of those games rather than trying to actually fix them, and banks on BK nostalgia rather than fully striking out as its own thing. Even without nostalgia goggles Banjo Kazooie and Tooie are really fun games on their own merits. i mostly remember watching yooka laylee and thinking a constant stream of 'why does fall damage exist in this game' and 'jesus christ the loving talking noises are awful' as like some sort of background static the entire time

Johnny Joestar posted:i watched someone play yooka laylee around when it was new and if there's anything i learned it's that not having nostalgia for any of the banjo games meant that a lot of the design decisions that the devs decided to carry forward into their New Game Released In 2017 really probably should have stayed dead yooka laylee actually took a big step down from a lot of design elements from the old games, like with the level layouts in particular. even DK64's levels tended to have clear signposting, breadcrumb trails, central landmarks and color-coding to keep you oriented. Yooka Laylee's levels are just a random assortment off stuff vomited onto an oversized canvass Vikar Jerome posted::heavybreathing: N64flix would be cool but I hope they're not doing "Buy these classic mario games for a limited time only!" to FOMO people into buying them at a premium price before then making them available to everyone with an online subscription Augus fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Especially if they make a new one or something. Maybe it'll get people to buy Xboxes? Pablo Nergigante posted:That'd be cool as hell. Mario Story is the JP name for Paper Mario btw. Seriously. Never played Perfect Dark and I loving loved Mario Tennis 64 (if only for the GBC connectivity). This would be really loving cool. I know VC is dead but ugh... knowing how many games I've lost/given up over the years it's a hell of a thing to be able to have again on this gem of a console.

Yooka Laylee's levels are just a random assortment off stuff vomited onto an oversized canvass Yeah I literally played and finished Yooka a week or two ago and my biggest opinion was this game is twice the size of banjo but half the game it ever was. Levels are just not designed that well and are much bigger than they needed to me. And like you said they really needed to be better designed so you can know where to go or if you've actually been there.

Oxyclean posted:They've listed it as shipping with Puralator (but not shipped yet,) which on one hand, I've not had a lot of packages with, on the other, I feel like I've had some annoyances with them in the past? I've never had a problem with Best Buy for a few release day games, Amiibos, and even a launch day Switch. They next-day shipped the day before release. This is coming from the Mississauga warehouse to Toronto, but next-day is next-day, so you should be fine.

Volte posted:https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood/status/1305898279247511553 yeah i saw that but from the footage alone, without the texture replacements, it already looks better than the wiivc one, so either they fixed big wiiuvc issues or it is a new one based off it. the wiivc and wiiu vc all had lovely image quality, like there was a darkened filter appiled, all they did was up the res to 480 from the n64 original and had nothing to replace the VI filter with.

Oscar Wild posted:Trine ultimate is on sale for $15. Is that a good price? Is Trine good? Its a puzzle platformer right? 1, 2, and 4 are very, very good (and pretty). More fun with a friend, but still good without. 3 is a bit troublesome. I went in with an open mind and good intentions but... It was not good. I have not heard anyone every claim it was good, either. But buy the bundle for the rest and judge for yourself. The other games are worth it for sure.

It’s a very good port that was handled by the original devs themselves.

TheScott2K posted:Wow that was a very bad decision and also didn't those games came out like 3 years apart? It was a super dumb decision, but I LOVED Flashback and recognized Conrad. Also, it MIGHT'VE been System Shock 1, but this was also at a store that likely just carried old games as well as new. All I know is, I chose Fade to Black over one of the entries into the SS series.  Also, Ashley Graham is fantastic, as far as escort missions go. Especially with that suit of armour

Before we start asking for N64 games, any SNES games that are missing and that we can reasonably hope to get? Square JRPGs are almost certainly off the table, but other than those?

by virtue of the fact that they've clearly touched and messed with these, would games on the snes classic be any easier than others to port over to the switch? that gives you a nice package there.

Can anyone confirm if Sunshine in 3D all stars has switched the og y axis inverted controls to an unchangeable normal control scheme? The only sources I can find on this are a couple of reddit posts. This is actually Very Serious and will affect my decision as to whether I pick this up or not.
