Nope, you gotta hack it, but it's worth hacking anyway, and yes it emulates PSP flawlessly, since it has a PSP in it. Also PS1 games. Even upscales and filters if you want.

If I were to get into Enter the Gungeon or BoI, which one is better? I started EtG this weekend and it is reminding me a LOT of BoI, which I played during a work trip on the plane and started getting into, then just didn't pick it up after that. What other games are similar to those? I enjoyed Helldivers and Cryptark a lot, but was never able to defeat the cryptark.

I can't believe I'm about to make an effortpost gushing about the story mode of a f2p card game, but here we are. I recently caught up with the most recent completed arc of shadowverse's story and I can't help but post. Spoilers, I guess, so skip this post if you care. For a bit of context on Shadowverse's story, it started out extremely boring and has been slowly working its way up ever since. The initial arc is about the nine main characters having their world put to sleep by a semi-divine dimension-hopping being, then vowing to chase her across a multiverse in order to save their world. Pretty standard stuff, and not executed all that well. It gets a bit dark in places as characters confront their demons, but all of them ultimately overcome them and end up in a better mental place than where they started. The next arc is pretty bog-standard action storytelling. They land in a world on the brink of war, the characters split up amongst the factions that speak to them, and there's some character development as they try to decide how they fit in this new world. There's a few twists and turns about who the bad guy is, but in the end it's a story that gets wrapped up neatly by finding the right bad guy and fighting her. The execution was alright. The third arc splits the characters between a machine world and a nature world. The machine world story is about the man who made the machines being a petulant child who refuses to accept things outside of his control, and the robots who gained emotions rebelling against him. The nature world story is a bit less straightforward--the world's god is trying to destroy the world, and the world is split between factions who want to just let her do it and ones who want to kill her. There's a bunch of twists (for example, the leader of the "kill her" faction is trying to get himself killed by the leader of the other faction) but ultimately it plays out just like you'd expect from a mostly-positive anime story just from reading the outline--the heroes find a way to save the goddess the whole conflict is rendered moot. The bad guy from the machine story starts invading the nature world and all the characters from the two stories come together to fight him in a big climax. It's all pretty well executed but there really isn't that much more going on than what I just laid out. Not exactly the kind of thing I stay up until 3:00 to finish and then breathlessly rush in to effortpost about the next day. Which brings me to the next arc, the one I'm posting about. It's in a western-themed world, full of cowboy hats and gunfights. Rather than continue to follow the nine characters who have been the leads up until now, it focuses on new characters who are natives of this world. Only one of the nine dimension-hoppers is here, and she just sort of flits in and out of the story, not doing very much and not being a POV character until the very end. The themes of the story are about a rotten world where only a privileged few can live comfortably, and nearly all power is locked up in the hands of three demigods. Over and over, the game reminds you that the people at the bottom hurt each other to survive--but that the root cause of the circumstances that drove them to it is always at the top. The new POV characters are:
And that's the setup going into the final act--a popular revolution sweeping the city. Everyone with a name convinced the demigod of wealth has to go to fix this world, including one of the other demigods. The set up to a fairly normal resolution. At this point, it's fairly interesting that the heroes are proactive in identifying the endemic problems and trying to solve them, rather than reactively trying to prevent new problems, but ultimately it's not that much of a departure. And even then, the demigod whose metaphorical castle they're storming has been acting extra-shady lately and is clearly up to something more than the usual. But it's really the final arc that made me have to post this. At this point you think the story is about how society rots from the top, and everyone once in a while you need a revolution to set things straight. But it's not. It's actually about the crushing despair of having nothing when the man at the top has it all. Over the course of the final act, one of the two outlaws dies--the one who was convinced that revolution and positive change were possible, leaving his surviving partner who just wanted to burn things in vengeance. The deputy ends up killing more innocents in the battle, and the church assassin takes his life when his sins are too much for him to bear, then takes her own. The dead woman learns that her family's death was not the act of a desperate murderer driven to extremes by an unjust world--it was a random act of violence by a psychopath who wanted to test if he could. And in her anger, she decides the whole world must be destroyed, and leads an army of the dead to slaughter the living. And again, these are the point of view characters. We're taken along with them on every step of their rise and fall. Leaving just the one character who isn't native to this world. The character from the previous arcs who I said wouldn't be important until the climax. She makes it to the demigod of wealth, and, in the simplicity she's learned from the previous stories, figures "well here's the bad guy. I just need to kill him and then everything will be better." And she does--as the only being from another world, her bow is the only weapon here which isn't his "property" and which he has no control over. But we've seen what his magic looks like--it's all about receiving payment. He'll say things like "you fired 50 of my bullets and killed 10 of my henchmen. The bill comes to 400,000," and then when they can't pay, their bodies are consumed. The final stinger on this failure of a revolution is that when he's killed, he charges her the bill for taking his life. And that's where the arc ends. Fade to black, curtain falls. The first chapter of the next arc has come out already and it's set in an entirely different world. This world isn't completely destroyed, but it's thoroughly on its way out, with the body count piling up. It would take a hell of a deus ex machina to do anything other than the most bitter of bittersweet endings when they return. Though they've dropped a few hints that there may be time travel or some other mechanism for the world-hopping character to revisit her choices during this arc, so maybe it will be deus ex machinaed into a happy ending. I hope not, personally, I wouldn't want the sting retroactively ruined. Anyways, compared to like, actual literature or even the best video game stories, it isn't that special, but I was just so shocked that anything like this could come out of the story of a f2p card game of all things, and I figured that it was so unlikely people here would be bothered by spoilers that I could effortpost the whole thing without anyone minding. So I really wanted to post about it.

I haven't played EtG that much, but BoI is probably both easier to get into and a bigger, deeper game. But it also has really divisive art and absolutely horrifying underlying themes so it's understandable if either of those is a dealbreaker

What other games are similar to those? I enjoyed Helldivers and Cryptark a lot, but was never able to defeat the cryptark. I think EtG is the better game. It's much more consistently fun and I think plays better. Based on the other two games you mentioned I think it's a better fit. BoI is good if you like big bloated games with tons of unlocks, weird interactions, and esoterica you'll only learn though wiki diving. It's not bad but they lost the plot somewhere and decided that the game needed to be harder and did so in generally obnoxious ways. It is getting an expansion in like 2 days but I'm not sure if it intends to address any of the issues or simply add more cruft. EtG is aesthetically better too yeah, and the gross out stuff in BoI doesn't really bother me but I can't say its good. EtG also had a better implementation of co op if that matters.

Also WipEout, Destruction Derby, Soviet Strike if you're nostalgic for the early PS1 days. Also if you like shmups Donpachi, Dodonpachi and Raiden are on the Japanese PSN store. edit: oh man I forgot to say Tokyo Jungle Convex fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Mar 29, 2021 |

I'll be honest, I'm into it, I'm always a sucker for a cool story from an incredibly unlikely place. I should probably get back into Shadowverse really, it's a remarkably good card game for being from that huge wave of Hearthstone ripoffs.

Wow. Honestly expected everyone to say BoI is a way better game. I do find the art a bit too much. Like, I'm not grossed out but I'd rather look at nicer - looking things. I also looked at the wiki for BoI and thought 'holy poo poo? really?'. I'm glad to hear the EtG is so well-regarded. I like the intro screen and song too I've played about 3 runs with the first 3 characters, starting on the left, and don't have a favourite yet. Is there metagame progress, or is it all within the run? With BoI I think you unlocked items that could appear in chests or something? I'm not sure if there's anything in EtG.

There's metagame. You earn credits with which you can buy gear from NPCs once you find them. You get the credits from boss fights.

If anyone is still playing BoI these days there is an essential mod on the Steam workshop that tells you what every item does when you get near it. There are way too many joke items that gently caress up a run to go without, especially if you have all the expansions.

There's a ton of new gear to unlock, some new characters, shortcuts, that kinda thing. My only complaint with ETG is that it coulda done with an expansion pack to add a few new bosses and a level or something.

Also the hapless anthropomorphic bullets are great and I liked the relentless, stupid "everything is a gun/bullet, everything" theming Definitely more there with BoI but if it were up to me I would play it after Nuclear Throne and EtG
