I just realized that despite, at the outset, of fully intending to get a PS4 before any of the other systems there is a real chance I will have both a Wii U and and a Switch before I have a PS4. There are enough PS4 games that yeah I'm all but guaranteed to get one eventually but a combination of backlogs, expected price drops (gonna get a PS4 Slim for sure), and Mario Maker has continuously put off the purchase.

Funnily enough Bloodborne has never been on the shortlist, though I do expect to give it a go eventually since if I'm going to play any Souls-like game at this point it's probably going to be that.

I'm fairly certain I've played varying amounts of RE1-3 but RE4 was the only one I've been able to finish. Even that took until the Wii version for me to get beyond the initial village.

MM9 is great, I think I'd only pick 2 & 3 as be being better at least among the classic-numbered MMs. It has one of the most fun weapon loadouts in the franchise.

The X series is so weird because the first game is so great, maybe even the best MM game ever created, but virtually every sequel it got was worse and in some cases WAY worse than just everything else in the franchise.

I feel that top to bottom my favorite Zelda is actually Link's Awakening. It has square-for-square the best overworld IMO to explore with the most personality, the dungeons are well designed, the items are all very neat, and it definitely features one of the stronger plots in the series. The only reason I would probably say Link to the Past is the better game is that the the constant messages you get from bumping into rocks and such are super annoying and in general I just wish it could have dedicated buttons for grab/dash like LttP. Not much you can do about that with the number of buttons on a Game Boy, though. I found Twilight Princess thoroughly mediocre when I played it in 2006 but I do have the HD remake and have been meaning to give it another shot at some point.

I love Danny O'Dwyer and NoClip, but MAN is he bad at Ocarina of Time. Hoo Boy. But bad in a mostly charming way. Even he got caught by that loving "Would you like me to repeat that?" owl. E: I probably wouldn't pick it over Super Metroid in the end, but AM2R was great enough that I considered it at least. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Dec 5, 2016 |

I finished Dishonored 1, that was a really solid game. I kind of expected that it would just be like a FPS with some stealth sections and instead got something that feels exceptionally like a modern take on the Deus Ex/Thief games of the late 90s and early 2000s. That said I don't think I'm going to bother with the DLC, at least not yet. I'm not really invested in the story enough to know about Daud's deal and gameplay-wise I think I've gotten all I really need out of the main campaign. Now to put Shantae through its paces

They're all really solid but Pirate's Curse is probably my favorite, though what little I've played (first 2 worlds) of 1/2 Genie Hero has been great. I really wish Risky's Revenge was a complete game because what's there is fine, it just feels so insubstantial and incomplete because IIRC it was meant to be the first entry in an episodic series.

Macaluso posted:How does the platforming feel in the new Shantae? I don't mean level design wise, just like the general feel of her controls and her jumping and attacking and stuff. I made a post earlier about how much I love Ori's platforming in that way and wanted to know how Shantae is? Well and also I guess also how the level design is. I'm not expecting Tropical Freeze levels here but still. Wayforward's remake of Ducktales was really really good I've been revisiting levels a lot to see if any new powers are unlocking new sections and surprisingly that has been rather slow going, it seems like I'll take a step forward and two steps back. Like you get the crab transformation to go underwater, but then every underwater section in the first world also requires one or two other upgrades.

I'm playing Dead Space 1 for the first time and here are my thoughts so far: -The Plasma Cutter or whatever it's called (the default gun) seems to be by far the best thing to use. I've tried some of the other weapons and it's the only one that can seemingly kill anything, including bosses. -However I'm finding that I burn through the ammo super quickly. Like I just finished the boss at the end of Chapter 6 and went from around ~120 bullets to less than 20. I have the Force Gun to use for a while but again, it feels like it kind of sucks compared to the Cutter. -Game is good but also very stressful.

Where the gently caress is the last heart container in Tassel Town in Shantae, it's driving me nuts and is the last thing I need.

Those playing Shantae: Make sure you trade for the Gem and Blobfish dances at least once, even though you're not really getting a new item they count towards your Item completion %.

Finished Dead Space 1 & Shantae today DS1 was an all around solid experience. Generally good action set pieces and it feels real awesome when you mow down a group of enemies just right (and equally terrible when these encounters go south). The last boss was hilariously easy compared to the rest of the game. Shantae was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be: a well made but generally easy platformer with some gorgeous visuals. I still think I prefer Pirate's Curse but that's probably because I just like the pirate abilities more than the dances.

oddium posted:blade runner is my second favorite movie and any remake or sequel would probably be bad but they wouldn't change how good blade runner is. also yeah make a snatcher movie After being profoundly disappointed in Prometheus I honestly can't bring myself to really care or get upset at a Blade Runner sequel which yeah is probably going to ruin a lot of the mystique of the original. I've already been down that road when it comes to Ridley Scott Sci-Fi sequels/prequels. Also, happy Shantae day!

I've come to terms with Alien 3 and don't hate it nearly as much as I did as a child, but that franchise has always truly been only a two film set in my mind.

Also the entire premise as to why Alien 3 happens at all is a fairly big plot hole that is poorly explained/handwaved, if you can say it is at all.

No Country For Old Men is one of my least favorite films, ever. I detest that movie. Not because it's a bad film, it's one of the best acted, best directed, best whatever things I would have seen when it came out. But it made me feel so miserable, like literally I felt unhealthy emotionally/mentally for days afterwards, that I abhor the very fact that it exists. It put me in a bad place at a bad time in my life and I will forever hate it for that.

Ys I is also unfortunately kind of a rough game that was improved a lot with its sequel. I still think it's worth playing though! But even if you don't care for it all that much be sure to give the rest of the other Steam Ys games a look anyway because they play a lot differently.
