Apparently Burger Time has a kill screen so you have 253 levels left.

welcome posted:Apparently Burger Time has a kill screen so you have 253 levels left. im not going to do that. I'll go until it loops. at first I had the hubris to think I could knock out 6 levels of "burger theme donkey Kong clone" with the down button broken on my controller. I'm currently trying to do it with a mix of the arrow keys and the gamepad, lol. I guess Castlevania will have to wait awhile.

return of the obra dinn - all fates solved very good detective puzzle game even though sometimes the art style obfuscates things and some of the fates could as well be anything in the world. Also theres a *lot* of annoying waiting; waiting for the death trails to reach their destination and having to wait on your first viewing of a death scene being the biggest time sinks. The interface and design of puzzle solving means you can sometimes cheat a bit and try different categories until the pieces fit and the game tells you GOOD JOB! despite all that i think its very very good and would reocmmend.

who wants to learn some fun facts about Burger Time? okay, i ended up liking this a little more once i started to learn how the enemies move and once i gave up on my controller and used the keyboard. it's hard, but it's cool. one thing i like, compared to a lot of other games like it, is that when you lose a life, your progress in the level doesn't go away. i played until the levels looped (six levels), but i used basically all of my resources, including lives and pepper sprays, so i probably would not be able to make it through another loop. i'm counting it for moving on but not for "games beat." (there is a slight difference once it loops - they add the pickles to the first level). as welcome mentioned, there is a kill screen, but i would call the game functionally "over" before that: apparently once you get to level 28, there's a bug: the enemies are supposed to more than double their speed, and they do, for about 90 seconds. this is functionally meant to end the game: the only way to survive is to use basically all of the pepper. however, after those 90 seconds, they glitch out and freeze, only taking a single step about every five seconds. the player's speed doesn't change, so what this means is that the first 90 seconds of every level are a mad scramble to survive, and the rest is actually easy, but almost every level after that point would literally take hours to complete (especially as you would need to refill your pepper reserves to survive the next level). as far as i can tell, the glitch is present in both the arcade and NES versions of the game, but not the colecovision one, lol.

Inscryption was good all day kind of annoyed that the second half of the plot is buried at gps coordinates tattooed in the final boss's butthole, but I'll just ignore that until somebody writes an article

41. Castlevania was worried this would be built up too much for me, but this is incredible. playing the nes games in order, this feels like the biggest advancement in gaming since super mario bros. now that i've finally played it, i think the term "metroidvania" is even stupider. maybe the later entries in the series are different, but despite the map doing a lot of curling up and down and switching from right to left, it's still a straightforward path, whereas metroid involves a lot of returning to old areas. metroid is also very focused on permanent powerups and castlevania only lets you hold one at a time. is rush n attack a metroidvania? wtf? anyway, it's got the coolest set of bosses yet, hands down. starting at frankenstein, they're all pretty tough, and they feel way more fleshed out than bosses in previous games, even the ones with better bosses like gradius, ninja kid and trojan. i never got great at using the extra weapons - i always had the hearts, but i usually found it difficult to throw them while i was jumping, which made it too hard to dodge and swing at the same time. i did use the time stop a few times, mostly to get past some pesky monsters on the way to the bosses (i tried hitting drac with the holy water in his room but i could never land it). the sprite art and chiptunes really nail the gothic theme (i love the fake credits with slightly altered hollywood names so you know christopher lee played dracula). some classics deserve their reputation, and this is one of them.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild still incredibly fun. Never beat it back at launch, just kinda stopped right at the end, and it's been long enough that I forgot a lot so I restarted. Still got some shrines to do, strongly doubt I'll go for 100% when korok seeds exist

The first time I played Castlevania was for a race I was invited to. I told them it was a bad idea and I'd gently caress it up, but they told me "you're good at Mega Man it's gonna be fine" I died so often to the White Dragon before the Frankenstein fight. Even the demo dude can't beat him!!! gently caress!!!! I eventually made it through, but I don't think I ever beat the whole game afterwards because everybody else had finished long before? Maybe I should lol

I think I had more trouble with Frankenstein than death. you can hit death's sickles but that little bugger on Frank's head is hard to dodge if you want to stay right next to the creature himself. I thought dracula was going to be really easy until he transformed.
