Man I'm sad I missed MH Demo chat. Here's my takeLen posted:Has there ever been a good demo? I thought the general advice was "don't play them because they're real bad at showing what the game is actually like"?

Which is still weird, seeing as the context was literally in regards to talk of the Monster Hunter demo But it looks like people are coming back with "  this demo is good" again even though this time I even clearly put Monster Hunter in the post

Honestly I was just responding to CharlestheHammer. I only ever played like an hour of MonHun on the PSP and it completely wasn't my thing so I don't really care about it. Plus it appears that Capcom was actively evil last year so they're on the list of developers to not intentionally purchase from.

In Len's defense, I believe they have a chud boss who is a Covid-denier. I don't think they were saying that what Capcom was doing was okay, just that (at least to someone living in the US), it's not very surprising to hear "corporation refuses to adhere to Covid standards". Apologies if I'm confusing you with someone else.

It sounds like he's my boss, or at least works for the same company. I'm also an American surrounded by Covid deniers. Apathy is as much a problem as denial during the past year which is why the death rate is as high as it is.

This was like a hundred pages back but someone recommended I play Dark Souls and I recently reinstalled and gave it another shot. I wanted to be a fire wizard but the starting spell is kinda limited and has poor range, and I still haven't found out where to get more fire magic. I did find a morning star and a swanky shield, though. I haven't figured out how not to die all the time, but at least basically everything I hit dies before it gets a chance to recover.

I have a tricky request for a game recommendation. My parents have never been into video games. The one game that was actually a big hit with them was, of all things, the islands minigame in Game & Wario for the Wii U. For those that haven't played it, it's a multiplayer game where you take turn launching your pieces on to an island. Different zones are worth different amounts of points, and the winner is whoever has the most total points after the final round. There are physics and random events, so winning still has a lot of luck involved, and the controls and concept are simple so it's easy to just pick up and play a couple games. My parents recently got a switch with Ring Fit and Animal Crossing, and they've been enjoying both, but they just asked for recommendations for a game similar to Islands. My current idea is Clubhouse games, because it fills a similar role (standalone multiplayer game that can be played for a couple rounds during a family get together) and doesn't need reflexes or anything, but it's still pretty different so I could see it not holding the same appeal. Any other ideas for multiplayer games that would work similarly? Not Mario Party or Kart, they've tried those before.

Snake Maze posted:I have a tricky request for a game recommendation. There are a few indie games that focus on silly physics based party game stuff, although I personally haven't played many of them. Also I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but there are a lot of modern physical "dexterity" board games that capture the Wario Ware "Islands" dynamic perfectly. I'd bet your parents would love something like Junk Art or Flick 'Em Up.

Inferior Third Season posted:Dark Souls pyromancy is a bit weird. It basically has its own leveling system. You can be soul level one, and do massive damage with an upgraded pyro glove. Yeah you level the flame hand itself to power all your pyromancies. So you could be a SL1 pyromancy monster with a fully ascended flame.

most of the voice acting in ds1 is really exceptional. like you say, a lot of the characters just sound incredibly weary, like they’ve been here for longer than they can remember. i really like hearing them chew on the dialogue; alvina, gough, oswald, griggs, eingyi, gwyndolin, i could just sit around and listen to them for ages

I barely understand the mechanics of dark souls but it's a really great moody game to pick up for a few hours, rage quit, and come back to a week later to bang my head against. I assume at this rate I'll finish it and pick up dark souls 2 for the switch pro+s in 2024
