Is this the SNES or the PSP version?

SNES, I don't know much about the remasters. The PSP version is probably more friendly, and with more sensible crafting. The instant death proc is probably the same :v:

A lot of people are saying that Overwatch 2 is a bad game, a terrible game, a terrible bad game, but I think something that they're all missing is that while it's true that playing Overwatch 2 is fairly unpleasant it's still better than valorant

It's a full remake in the Star Ocean 2 engine, which was very cool. It made that game infinitely more playable. The SNES one is interesting for how it pushes that system to its limits though, it has voice acting for crying out loud.

fuuuuuk, that's crazy. I knew it was a long time, but I'm prone to hyperbole so erred on the side of caution. Mad.

In other news, I went back to play it again today, and now it's a stuttery unplayable mess, whatever settings I put it on. Really loving annoying, it was buttery smooth just last night? What the gently caress. Installed some new drivers but they didn't help at all. I'm really sad, I was really enjoying it and now it's essentially unplayable?!

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas?

Scorn is a bad game. I'd be pissed if I had paid for it directly. On Game Pass I was able to play enough to see it was bad and noped out.

It's visually striking but everything else I hear about it tells me there's not much of a game in there.

It made me feel revulsion in the first ten minutes. I don't remember when a game really made me feel anything, so I feel like I got some monies worth already. I also really really like looking at it. There's a lot of art to it.

Sure, as a game, so far it's only really had two puzzles that I felt made me think. But, I mean, again, it's pretty rare to look at a puzzle in a game and not immediately go "oh OK I do that" and then 'do that', so that I've had to think twice is, again, already value.

This all makes me sound like some Scorn fanboi, and as I say, the game went and broke on me, and for sure it's more of a walking simulator, so totally understand if people don't like it. I was just pleasantly surprised by it.

I rrrrrrrreally, really like Giger and Beksinski and that's what's carrying me through it. Would I recommend it? Nah, not a chance. If you want to see something unnerving in their style? Absolutely.

Very reminiscent of Dark Seed. It was also visually striking, gross, creepy... and a terrible game. It had bad puzzles, with a timer on top of it all (giving you an instant game over when it ran out, iirc). Good luck finshing that one without a guide.

Actually scorn is bad. I'm gonna finish it coz I likewise love the aesthetic, but man. The combat is the worst I've seen since Daikatana. It's probably worse. It's SHOCKINGLY poo poo. At first I kinda forgave it, but now I've got a second weapon, and it's somehow worse than the ineffective cattle prod that doesn't hold enough charges to kill anything. The game would ONLY be improved by removing the combat. It's a real real shame its in there, because it takes it from like a 5-8 game (depending on how into the aesthetic you are) down to like a 1-5.

Definitely watch the Retsupurae videos on them. Both seem like some of the worst designed adventure games in history, but for different reasons.

The first game is an extra punishing Sierra game, while the second is a LucasArts game with endless dialogue trees with the most unlikable people ever written.

There needs to be a third one with QTEs and fake choices. Episodic too.


Also, the first game was made by and stars Mike Dawson. Whoever wrote the second one either didn’t realise this or hated his guts.

"Man, how hard can a fps be to make? Those DOOM guys did it on a paper clip decades ago, it'll be easy!"

And now we have this resurgence of totally poo poo indie fps games, faux-retro being used as an excuse for making games that play worse than the 1994 iD title. Ursula Le Guin's rant about buttered toast crosses genres, there are so many bad fps games made by people tho think they know what they're doing. Scorn sounds like it's a visual novel that chose the wrong video game type to get bolted on to, but so much other stuff is trying to be a good FPS out of the gate and failing so, so hard.

I'm halfway through Prodeus and I'm digging the aesthetic, but ffs why are the monsters and guns and the way you shoot them so bad?
