Beat Future Connected. Now I can move onto playing Cross: Code. I've been excited for that for a while.

Does Slay the Spire get more interesting as you keep playing it? I bought it on a few friend's recommendations but after doing a couple runs I'm not finding the gameplay to be particularly enjoyable. The aggressively bland art doesn't help either.

So the answer if it gets more interesting is, maybe, depends on what you find interesting.

The Mercenaries Saga game is kinda fun but feels really clunky and slow. Do the new Phoenix games control any better?

I finally did the stick replacement on my left Joycon, and once I fully satisfied myself that I'd done it correctly.... ....the right one immediately started drifting

No, it basically stays the same. If you're still playing with the first character then you eventually unlock more interesting ones and some more interesting cards to play with, but fundamentally the game doesn't change much. Nor does the rear end ugly art and designs for everything.

Whew! The sixth star in Bianco Hills really made my hands sweaty! These no FLUDD levels don't gently caress around.

And when I replaced the right one I snapped the battery connector. Still waiting for a new one to arrive. Thankfully I bought a replacement set beforehand, so I'm at least not out my Switch.

Ok, I played Slay the Spire a few more times and it sucks. It's like playing a really ugly board game by yourself. Really regret getting it on Switch instead of Steam, where I could get a refund.

CharlestheHammer posted:BK was probably well in development when M64 came out so that argument falls flat Games back in the 1990s weren't developed like games today. It wasn't uncommon for entire games to be made by around a dozen people and be released in a year. Diddy Kong Racing for example was developed in a year and I read somewhere that it was done for less than a million dollars. Goldeneye was mocked due to it taking a whopping two and a half years of development time to release. Your run of the mill "indie darling of the month" would easily be a full retail release back in 1998, with some even being full "AAA" productions. Mega64 posted:Bring back Conker's Bad Fur Day, and not the censored Xbox version for kiddies, but the adult version meant for mature Nintendo gamers. I remember a lot of Xbox fans confused why so many people were happy that they ported the Nintendo 64 version on Rare Replay instead of the Xbox one.

https://twitter.com/DrAraxxor/status/1343072620770598912 Sunshine is a really janky game with a surprising amount of unpolish, and I can see why it’s so polarizing. I don’t blame people for bouncing off. That being said I still love it all the same. The porting job on the other hand had some serious issues. Delfino Plaza was really prone to hitching especially during the Shadow Mario chases where that turned into outright slowdown. Also the cutscenes were really muddy and they just cropped and zoomed in to accomplish “widescreen” for those. Oh well, onto Galaxy!

Len posted:i really hated the ironclad and felt the other two classes were significantly more fun, that said it's always going to feel like a boardgame so if that's the biggest problem you've got switching to a fun class won't help That entire genre may be a casualty of the pandemic for me. I don't see the point in playing a game that feels like a boardgame when I've got roommates who I already play boardgames with. There's something fundamentally silly about hiding my room simulating something I could be doing if I took a few steps. I was hoping based on recommendations that Slay The Spire would be a game like Hades/Dead Cells-- good for people who aren't normally fans of the genre. It's absolutely not.

homeless snail posted:So the answer if [Slay the Spire] gets more interesting is, maybe, depends on what you find interesting. To be fair, my first encounter with deckbuilders was Hand of Fate 2, where every card is unique, an entire encounter, and serves a specific purpose with a specific set of choices and rewards. So StS came as kind of a shock. I don't know. The game should have been great fun, but for some reason it never grabbed me.

Plus there would be a poo poo ton of knock on effects.

Been following the excellent advice of the goons. Picked up Hades and Donut County (for super cheap). I don’t think I need any big games once I get Hades going, but any other eshop games that are cool, but too short for full price? Because I am very in love with Donut Country. Like playing Katamari for the first time.

Conversely, Slay the Spire grabbed me because I like deckbuilders but didn't really care for roguelikes/lites but now I'm very into the genre (or at least adjacent to it) and have picked up Hades, The Expedition, and One Step From Eden. Though I still love a good StS session.

Inferior Third Season posted:I was really expecting a lot more retro games from the big companies after the success of Mega Man 9. It seems like a no-brainer - just dedicate a team of like 12 people to continuing old NES and SNES franchises, and rake in the money. Even if some games tank, the development costs are a drop in the bucket compared to modern games. The development costs are cheaper but they still tend to require a dedicated team to make. For a lot of big companies there are things a dedicated team could do which would probably be more profitable than an intentional retro game. It's worth noting that you just can't just go "make an NES game, done." Even most retro-style games these days are designed around modern systems just with a retro aesthetic.

There were a number of retro revivals around the time of Mega Man 9's release, but a good number have been forgotten either due to quality or just not getting preserved. Konami had a whole line of them that went down the tubes along with the Wii Shop Channel.

Horace was suggested earlier in the thread so I grabbed it. Some parts are adorable. Some parts are just annoying, including where I am now and possibly going to stop on it. Got to chapter 11? and aimlessly wandering around the mansion. I'm a fan of Metroidvanias, but don't really like the combination of that with constant insta-death due to the joys of spikes/flames/electricity/....

Ring Fit Adventure is fun as hell, it’s such a cool way to do a fitness game. I consider myself to have above average physical fitness and was decently challenged by the first few levels, no wonder this thing was impossible to find at the start of the lockdowns. It’s a great way to get some exercise without going outside.
