I've finished the 2nd course in Sports Story. If it is like the 1st game in number of courses it will be a fairly long game. 20+ hours.

Palmtree Panic posted:If you're looking for 2D Kirby, just wait until February for the Return to Dreamland port. Actually yeah that's great advice. if you want a 4 player co-op experience in a Kirby game, wait for that one. That game comes with it as well, just with actual level design. You just can't play as the helpers, but you can play as Kirbies or Meta Knight, Bandana Dee, and King Dedede.

Dunno whether the Switch is on the list, but I guess it's not completely out of the question?

has anyone played Yoshi's Crafted World? my partner and i are currently working through New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe together (we like that we can play at the same time) and are thinking of Yoshi next. $60 bucks tho, woof.... are there any other mario-like side scrollers where 2 people can play at the same time (other than TMNT)

Kirby Star Allies is a good one, but suffers from the same pricing scheme.

how does crimzon clover compare to ikaruga or raiden? e: also, just started super mario galaxy for the first time. holy hell, this rules. i still think i like 3d world more at this point, but i could see this one getting super, super good with the level designs. that said, something's off with the controls a bit. like 50% of the time when i approach a sign it doesn't give me the option to read it immediately. have to keep reorienting mario for like 5s before it does. not sure what that's about, especially when i'm directly facing the sign. otherwise, pretty fantastic! abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Dec 28, 2022 |

Kirby and Yoshi go on sale fairly often (to "only" $40) if you're patient. Untitled Goose Game is another fun yet short coop experience. My wife is very comfortable to play backup during coop, and the lack of a fail state in Goose Game made her a lot more comfortable with just messing around. Edit: ugh, you said side-scroller. Apologies.

Also not cheap.

Thinking of investing in the most decadent of gaming experiences and getting a goose-necked tablet holder for my OLED to attach onto my headboard so I can just lie down and play. Anyone try this and if so which holder has worked best for you all?

I have one that free stands on the floor, but I can swing over the bed to watch laying down. That might provide more versatility than one you need to clamp to a support. It was just whatever tablet stand holder thing I found on Amazon. It has a heavy plat foot for stability.

First one isn’t shipping to France but I’ll look for something similar. Apartment space is limited so I fear a free standing one will take up too much space unfortunately.

I think I am getting close to the end of chapter 3 of Sports Story. I think the makers didn't realize what made golf story good: it was a fun golf game that had some story elements that led into the golf. They doubled down on story but golf took a big backseat in the new game. The first golf "match" isn't even complete. The second is just you playing with yourself (heh.) And I dunno what the 3rd will be but it's been a while since the last match. I'm about 8 hours in with maybe 30 mins of golf so far. And it still hasn't been patched.

I'll also give a rec to Crimzon Clover. Novice mode is tuned very well for noobs and it has been the gateway for me to actually get into shmups. Going into double break mode is one of the coolest power ups I've seen in any game.

So I decided I get a few games from the sale. I picked up Phantom Doctrine, Darkest Dungeon Delux, Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark, Spelunky, and Wilmots Warehouse. I based my decision on the "hours played" statistic on deku deals, with all of these games having absurd 100+ hour potential

No gotchas I would say; even at the hardest setting... well, you'll have to think a little bit, but it's still quite easy overall. I'd say choose your limitations; I never use overworld heals, and I don't use items unless I've been at a level for a while and don't want to risk failing when I'm a turn away from victory.

Anyone ever play XIII in the past or in the new version of it? I could be down for that sort of FPS. It seems Goldeneye-ish, and even has multiplayer!

Yeah this is the vibe I got from the few hours I played - and I didn't even get to the first full round of golf before getting stuck on how to progress the story mission. It was worrying when I noticed the first two areas you explore (the beach and mall) aren't even golf courses, and then when you DO get to a golf course, the explorable area doesn't have a mini course in the practice area, which was one of my favorite aspects of the first game (especially the guy who set up remixed versions of them). That and the one non-golf sport I played (the quick volleyball match before you leave the beach) was total rear end - controlled like poo poo with no tutorial at all, didn't even last a full game or give you any time to learn how to play, and happened for no reason at all. Didn't make me very excited for the rest of the sports.
