The only map painting game I respect is Splatoon.

If the Spore civ phase had been a little more in depth that would have been my speed on a map game. I love the idea but the details in them scramble my head something fierce. Now if they make a Lovecraftian Dark God conquer sim I'd play the gently caress out of that TheWorldsaStage fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Oct 24, 2022 |

I think sonic team's issue in the past 10 years has been listening to people that don't like sonic. like I can see why they'd want to, sales n all that, but it was not worth it in the long run. I hope frontiers continues the return of a confident sonic game...I think forces was on the right track but it's almost like something happened during development that stunted it bad... I just want a game that doesn't waffle around with its gameplay and themes...I'd like sonic to stop being a f*cking rubber action figure too, but one step at a time..

it's hard to look at sonic frontiers and not come away with the impression that they want nothing to do with this little blue fucker but are, by committee, required to slot him into the game the only sonic-specific element - the railgrinding - looks so artificially stapled in to the game world that i wouldn't be surprised if it was an abandoned open world project that someone pulled out of the icebox to save on development costs

They should change their name to another Sega IP and see if that works. Jet Set Radio Team. Sakura Wars Team. Space Channel 5 Team. Seaman Team.

signalis i'm nervous about that it'll swerve past the demo area into something completely different than the "top-down RE1 on a spaceship" vibes. the demo's ending had some real "maybe you're dreaming!!" energy after 12 minutes last year i'm not letting myself get too hyped up for a Gamepass indie release anyway here's my thoughts on 4 games that i've played/am playing: Potion Permit - just finished this one and sent it back to Gamefly. i'd say it's a 7 out of 10 as far as life sims go. I really like the pixel art and gentle energy, but it's so gentle that it's almost sleepy. almost no music variety, characters emote via speech bubble emoji, and sound design in cutscenes is pretty much nonexistent. i like the gameplay loop quite a bit, and i'm a sucker for inventory tetris... even the resource grind didn't bother me because it was just one thing to do among many things in a day. what DID bother me was that the credits are trapped behind arcane requirements that no one quite knows, but at least seems to require getting everyone in the town to level 3 in friendship (there's a couple dozen characters so this is a LOT of character questing, but also you build up their friendship meter like any other life sim to reach those quests). i feel like i finished the main story line around 12 hours, and then getting the credits required another, like, 7-8 hours lol Shin Megami Tensei V - I am enjoying it.. I think the story is not super engaging when more time is given to it, but thankfully the 'story' segments are kind of isolated chunks and then the majority of the game is chill surfin' around sandworld fightin and recruiting demons with only occasional dialogue. i'm at the golden apple quest on my way to wreck the big mask demon fuckhead but my playstyle is probably going to burn me eventually. i basically avoid all encounters until i unlock all the fast travel points, see what the boss is about, THEN go about leveling up, finding mimins, treasures, recruiting, and applying essences for boss prep. Cultic - pretty neat so far, I like the mix of mazey indoor and wide outdoor spaces, sort of a crossing of the streams of 90s and 2000s level design. a little flat though in the early going. lacks some of the fun verticality of the levels of Prodeus or Shadow Warrior 3, but also the combat is not as chaotic as those games so it's not AS big a negative. i'm sure later levels will ratchet up the dial. Vampire Survivors - okay.. i don't LOVE this game. but I understand why it's popular. personally, I'd prefer being able to attack with buttons and aim with the right stick, but I guess this is more of an idle autobattler thing where the main thing is just carving paths through enemy crowds and deciding when to scoop up gems. it's fine, it's just not going to be in my top 20 this year. my 2022 list is at 42 games now, I think 50 would be a good cut off point, last year's 70+ (that I trimmed down to 69) was a little ridiculous, but also last year was such a good year for indie games and this year is good but not AS good. so a top 50 seems good to me.

The grind in potion permit is insane, literally 80% of the game is chopping trees. Kudos to you for sticking with it, also shame on you for giving it so much of your time

I figure that there isn't a Wii U thread anymore, so am posting here in hope of getting some input. My son is highly interested in getting a Wii U so he can play some older Zelda games on actual hardware, not just emulated/modded. I'm not up on the current state of the console. Are these Amazon renewed some of the best bundles to get to serve this end? They're in the mid $200s or $300s and couldn't tell if that's scalpers taking advantage of a thin market or not. Is this better to go to my local second-hand video-game shop and picked up a used one there or not. Appreciate any guidance on source and/or price points to avoid for a console. Thanks!

But it might actually be better to get a Switch, all you're missing is Twilight Princess, and Wind Waker on that. The eshop for Wii U has shut down too leaving you with just physical copies of games and those are going to be ultra expensive now.

I'm away on holiday and I've just drank the first 2 pints I've had since going to a dota tournament 3 and a half years ago and it's went right to my head. Gonna smoke a joint and play bayonetta 2 on my nintendo switch. Let's go

The eshop for Wii U has shut down too leaving you with just physical copies of games and those are going to be ultra expensive now. Considering a Wii U is practically a couple Wiis duct taped together which themselves are a couple gamecubes duct taped together, it's probably the best way to play stuff from all three of those generations on one piece of original hardware (if you go to the effort to also softmod it and install Nintendont to play Gamecube games, I don't remember what the effort is involved in that since I haven't touched the thing in years and I don't know if it got simpler over time)

If the softmodding a Wii U is similar to doing it on a Wii, then the process is fairly straight forward. There are very comprehensive guides freely available on the internet.

Kudos to you for sticking with it, also shame on you for giving it so much of your time the real issue is that flowers only harvest 3-4 per day. same with enemies. there are character quests that need 8-10 razor fins each (dropped by a sand shark enemy), and you can only get 2 a day. but I’ve seen much much worse (kitaria fables). the character quest grind to get the ending is the only real slog because there are so many characters and their bar only goes up a little bit each day (and you can only give them a gift once per day). this would all be fine if relationships weren’t directly tied into the ending requirements. Basically the more characters reach new friend levels, renovation events start happening around the town, with the final one ending the main game. never figured out who that one unenterable house belonged to

With the Wii U, you have to redo the softmod each time you boot up the system. No one really put much effort into the Wii U since so few people bought the system.

Alternatively you can just mod the vWii mode on the WiiU. It doesn't provide benefits beyond what a Wii could do, but it's basically the same process.

It's only a mapgame if it comes from the cartographic region of sweden, otherwise it's just sparkling grand strategy.

The most important aspect of a mapgame is that you change the color of the provinces into your color as the game progresses
