Oof, just bounced off BPM: Bullets per Minute really hard. I like fps games, I loved Necrodancer, should be a gimmie right? Wrong. I got it in the Humble Monthly thing, and am upset at myself for not following my own advice: Always buy games on Steam directly, so you can refund them if needed.

A good poster posted:That Steam game is just a rom packaged with a Genesis emulator, so if it does play better on whatever free Genesis emulator you have you can just put the rom into your rom collection guilt-free.

Everyone I've heard talk about BPM said that it was a great game, but not one they could handle. All of them.

Mescal posted:No, the writing's not good. But there's not much of it. It's about the combat. Yeah, the non-combat parts of Fort Triumph (also some of the combat parts) are pretty much strings of groan-worthy puns and terrible "jokes," but one that I kinda liked was the mage's reason for becoming an adventurer: she needs money for next semester's tuition at mage school, and adventurers make pretty good money. An example of the humor: the currency is beets, as in the vegetable. You grow beets at your base and they are used to improve the base and hire more adventurers. They're beetcoins.

kirbysuperstar posted:It was three games, the first of which was the only one to come out officially in English. There's translation patches for the other two Scenarios now (and a retranslation for S1 to make it more in line with changes to the others), and thankfully Saturn emulation is pretty good now. What do people use for Saturn emulation these days? I always wanted to play Panzer Dragoon Saga and other exclusives that never made it off the Saturn.

Fat Samurai posted:EDIT: I think at some point you go on a road trip with your uncle? I haven't actually played MSC, but to me it seems to be a relatively detailed car mechanic simulation with an open world that has full "game design by 12-year-olds" style a.k.a. "it would be cool/funny if you could do X, even if it doesn't have real gameplay value". In this case it seems to work pretty well, if you're into jank. Also, a hefty load of nostalgia/in-jokes for millennial Finns.

But Jalopy takes place in Eastern Europe, My Summer Car is set in Finland. Jalopy is also a bit more lo-fi, whereas My Summer Car looks like an asset dump that is gradually mutating into an actual game. e;f,b

Mednafen/Beetle Saturn in retroarch. You'll need a BIOS and might have to make some weird control binds on account of the six face buttons, but otherwise most everything works well.

I got it in the Humble Monthly thing, and am upset at myself for not following my own advice: It took me a bit to get comfortable with the rhythm in BPM. I got there, and you can too (probably). I found the game pretty neat! The main thing I found that increased my abilities in the game was to basically practice jumping around and reloading. Weapons like the shotgun that you have to pump too some getting used to. The other thing is: don't play this like an fps; try and basically strafe in big circles around the room instead of running straight at things (yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds and very effective). Play on practice mode first! It really helped me learn the game better. Oh, and calibrate a few times. The first couple times I calibrated, I must have done it wrong because I had piles of delay. Once I got the calibration right, everything was much easier.

I beat it with most of the characters but the last two or three all have gimmicks on some variation of “don’t ever take a single hit,” which is more than I’m willing to put up with even Melted from Nuclear Throne gave you some leeway

So I'm about 5 hours in with Subnautica - where do you guys decide to build buildings, like the Scanner Room and the Moonpool? Do you start from where your original ship is or go somewhere farther away?

Do you start from where your original ship is or go somewhere farther away? I built where I started at near-ish to the drop pod and was fine. You end up not needing the base all that much in the latter half of the game so while I've seen people making multiple bases throughout the game I never really found it necessary. How's Killsquad for $13? Probably better co-op than solo I imagine?

Do you start from where your original ship is or go somewhere farther away? You start generally in the middle of the map, so anywhere in the safe shallows is a fine place to make a base which you can use for the whole game. of course, as I replayed the game in early access a couple times the temptation to find more exotic base locations was too great to make more than a temporary starter base in the shallows.

Do you start from where your original ship is or go somewhere farther away? Hard to go wrong with the shallows as they are in a pretty central spot. If you want to get more fancy, find a scenic thermal vent somewhere and use it to power the base. For extra fun, build a scanner room in the kelp forest and get some camera drones

Do you start from where your original ship is or go somewhere farther away? I have two base locations I really like. The first is over any of the entrances to the jellyshroom caves. They're all close to safe shallows, kelp forests, and grassy plateaus, so you have lots of different resources nearby. At least one of them is fairly close to a thermal vent too. When I want a deep base for the endgame, I always build near the tree cove in the lost river, just because it's the safest area anywhere near the final zones.
