And then he directed one of the best action games of all time.

The Switch version of Cult of the Lamb just got patched and there's a ridiculous amount of poo poo that needed fixing, specifically on the Switch especially- it seems like it was like, 2-3 versions behind the other consoles or the PC version for some reason.

I'm pretty sure I'm at the point just before the final fight in XBC3, and yet I've spent the past few days doing nothing but side quests that are 30 levels under what I'm currently at. Game is real loving good!

The Kins posted:All of this has happened before, and it will happen again. Except probably a bit more effectively than that, given that last I heard there was only one group/person still capable of cracking Denuvo and they were only doing one game at a time at a speed determined by donations. AFAIK MetaFortress mainly aimed to stop piracy on actual hardware and only broke Dolphin by accident, but there were a handful of Wii games which went out of their way to break emulation https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/0...e-code-by-booto The trick then was to rely on implementation details of the CPU cache, which would completely blow up in an emulator since emus don't even try to emulate cache behaviour and it would be extremely slow to do so Denuvos new thing is probably doing something similar, with a bunch of their usual obfuscation on top to make it difficult to remove the anti-emulator code

Beat Metroid: Fusion just shy of 3 hours with 50% items (wow I was missing A LOT). My last save is too late for me to go exploring and getting the other items it seems though so, I don't know how you're supposed to after getting the screw attack, to explore the other areas. So that's annoying, but whatever. It plays very well, the boss fights are tough but fair and it's got a neat style to it. I wasn't convinced by the plot in the end, but I know that's just Other M flashbacks. It sets up quite well for Dread story-wise, since now you seem to be Public Enemy #1. It's still a bit too linear for my liking though, and I actually think that aside from genuine gameplay 2 might be better, since it's also super linear but the claustrophobia of that map (especially on the GB) is a brilliant way to convey stress. Having played all of them but Dread, the best might be Zero Mission. It's got the brilliant map of 1 with the gameplay of Fusion. I always really liked the NES Metroid, it's a pain to play today but it has a genuinely labyrinthine map which is so fun to get lost in. 3 is just brilliant with an excellent map and gameplay and some great graphics, I liked the bestial and alien nature of its bosses too. Fusion and Samus Returns had a bit too much machines for me to feel on alien and hostile planet, which you're not so it scans, but still. Looking forward to Dread at any rate. These are blisteringly fast Metroidvanias, and I love Samus's attitude in them. She's such an excellent protagonist. As for genre-wise? I'd only really consider the Metroid games and Hollow Knight as must plays of the one's I've tried, and they're so different to almost be incomparable. HK has an incredible map, but it's just so long and almost better to BotW in terms of exploration. I'm hoping to get to Dread by the end of the year, if not early next year. At the moment Triangle Strategy is still what I want to play, having gotten to the NG+. It's really my ideal tactics game.

I just picked up Catherine: Full Body and wtfffffffffff I love everything about it so far. I hope there are still folks playing online by the time I feel ready to try it. The story is bizarre but compelling and the puzzling is very interesting. I kinda wish there wasn’t a ticking timer in the first few levels while I get used to things but otherwise it’s great. It’s insane though that I had to delete like half the games on my switch to make room for a 15GB puzzle game lol

Mehmehmeh is no longer a weird verbal tic (and wasn't in XC1 anyway so dunno why 2 introduced it). Iirc there's a couple single instances of just "meh" as a questioning/confused noise but I think I can count the times I remember it happening on one hand nopons are good again

Neddy Seagoon posted:And when there's no zombie around, then what? Because that happened multiple times when I played it. It didn't? I understand that the Eternal gameplay is not for everyone, but there are not only not multiple times of where no zombies for ammo are around, there's not a single one. If it happened to you, it's a bug that should not have happened. The game is 100% designed and tested around ammo beeing readily available via chainsawing. e: just to make it clearer: there is always ammo available. Either it respawns on it's own on a timer, or there is fodder available. The later one is the norm, I can think of maybe one or two sections where you would have to rely on the respawning ammo, mainly the maykr map, though I'd have to replay it to see if there actually is no other non-auto-respawning ammo available apart from headshots for that special enemy...for which you get a weapon mod and a suit mod to make it way easier...plus aim assist...plus respawning ammo.... tuo fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Aug 25, 2022 |

Riku is amazing and the series is now 2 for 4 on 'major' Nopon characters in the main games. Detective No. 27 posted:I’m aware of those connections, but for the most part, to the average person and the stories themselves without any DLC post game stuff, they’re all standalone and the connections within the main story usually just come in the form of nods to the fans. Dragon Quest sequels usually take hundreds of years apart and any of them make good jumping points if you’re a new player and won’t be lost if say you choose something like Yakuza 4 as your first entry in the series. My ultimate point was that you don’t need to play through XB1-2 to enjoy 3. You don't need to play a lot of prequels to enjoy sequels, that doesn't change the fact they're sequels and directly connected to one another. You are playing a game comprised of the results of Xenoblade 1 and 2, something Monolith Soft has said since the game's original announcement. XBC3 was made to not require people to play 1-2 to understand the story but they're all tied together and the DLC was just made as an additional connection for it. I can only guess you've never played the earlier Dragon Quest games or did so well after they came out because the dark world reveal for Dragon Quest 3 was a huge deal for people who played 1 (and 2). Someone playing just DQ3 would just see it as a new place for the endgame (much like how someone only playing XBC3 is going to miss all the stuff from 1 and 2 in it).

Procrastine posted:If you reload your file after beating the game all the plot-locked doors should be unlocked so you can go for 100% if you want. Oh thank goodness. I wasn't sure if that would be possible. I'll have to try it out then and do just that. ExcessBLarg! posted:Have you played Axiom Verge? I haven't. It didn't really look interesting at the time, and no one sold it as well as you did with that comment. I'll have to look more into it. What I loved about Metroid 1 was the feeling of being completely lost on an alien planet. The map is a pain to go through, and thank goodness I had rewind since you can take so much damage so easily in the game. Essentially I played it like a Space Warrior with a Chronomanipulator, exploring paths, and either finding a thing or a dead end, and depending on that warping back to my point of departure. It made it far more bearable and made me really appreciate how much there was to do in the game. And once you learn the map a bit, even if it all looks alike, you really start going places. Metroid 2 then compresses that and you feel seriously trapped. Like you know when in Minecraft you fall down a pit and have no torches? Something like that. It's neat, though linear, but I really felt the stress and the seriousness of the mission. Having the omnipresent counter for Metroids tells you that poo poo's going to get real early on, since those are late stage enemies in 1. Metroid 3 does away with that Alien-inspired horror and goes straight for the alien like design of the monsters and bosses. The world is bigger, and you can move far more freely in it, but it's a weird place and the details they put in the areas really do a wonderful job of transmitting how not-Kansas-anymore it all is. 4, does away with all that. It does it's level design very well since the every area does feel incredibly sterile and artificial, it's just it's less interesting. SA-X is a really cool idea that's used a bit too sparingly. I also found the boss fights to not quite make a lot of sense. Like I get that the ship is trying to develop bio-weapons ultimately but it's a bit contrived. It's a small nitpick, because it otherwise plays super well, but I like when Metroid went weird and organic. I've managed to keep myself mostly in the dark about Dread. It looks interesting, aside from how good it sounds like it plays, because it leans heavily on the robotics with the EMIs, who seem to represent a more constant SA-X threat, which I love the idea of, since it means you got to familiarize yourself with the map and escape routes, unless they're only in specific set-pieces. Don't tell me, I'm sure either option is fine, but I know which would impress me more. It's an amazing franchise though and it's been great going through the 2D games. I'd love to replay Prime now though I really don't believe it'll come to Switch. What's/when the last port we got? I don't feel like we're getting anymore...

Which, I think games generally should be evaluated the same if they're made by a single person or a team, but I can very much appreciate that solo-efforts represent an uncompromised artistic vision. Although I think that might apply more to AV2 since Tom Happ had some pretty serious life experiences during the latter's development. 100YrsofAttitude posted:Metroid 2 then compresses that and you feel seriously trapped.

There's two versions of Prime: the GameCube original and the "New Play Control!" version for the Wii that came to the west as part of Metroid Prime Trilogy. MPT is available on the Wii U as a download, but it's still just the Wii game. The control scheme in MPT Prime is actually really good since using the wiimote to aim gives you mouse-level precision compared to gamepad controls. There's a version of Dolphin, PrimeHack, that actually grafts keyboard/mouse controls into Prime, although even with standalone Prime you can map things to gamepad controls without too much difficulty. One of these days I'm going to try to get MPT working on my Steam Deck since I think it would be great with the trackpad. If it wasn't for the Prime remake potentially coming out I'd probably already done it.
