Didn't that GBA F-Zero game have a bunch of, uh, land spaceships that you had to unlock via different ways such as showing up to a physical kiosk for a code? I wanna remember being frustrated by that back in the day.

Started Prince of Persia, it looks so so good for a switch game. Maybe the most polished metroidvania on the system beside Dread

The movement and combat are smooth as hell and the level design is fantastic. If you have any interest in metroidvanias it's a must-play.

I'm about two hours in and don't particularly care for the combat, enemies seem pretty spongey.

My impossible dream purchase is an F-Zero AX cabinet. I've never got to experience one, and it's the only arcade game I'd ever want to try besides maaaaaybe the Theatrhythm one (which is redundant now anyway but still).

You can run Triforce ROMs like AX through Nintendon't on real Wii U hardware, or use Action Replay codes to reconstruct AX within GX. https://tcrf.net/F-Zero_GX/AX_Game_Mode

Thanks for the info! I've been getting back into emulation recently so I'll have to look into all that at some point. Still, my dream would be to have the full cabinet for the full experience.

I'm so glad I managed to find one of the full AX arcade machines at a random arcade in Oregon many moons ago, it was a great experience. I even paid extra credits for the card but got Mr. EAD, which was a bit of a bummer, but I still think I have the card floating around.

Finished A Link Between Worlds. I like how there's some Mario Maker-style twists like using the creepy stalker hand to kill enemies and press switches out of reach. It's also cool how the dungeons don't require more than one or two of your items each to save you fiddling about with the two slots a bunch. And since I'm getting older and more impatient, I'm glad I got through it without a peak at a walkthrough. The puzzle difficulty strikes a very good balance. It's always nice to feel stuck and then remember the merge ability and reveal new possibilities.

Some people have the weirdest rage at casual or easy modes. It's kind of baffling. If you don't want to play casual or easy modes, then don't. Ditto for the harder stuff.

The easy mode ragers are that way because they're so pathetic that they've tied all their self-worth to video games accomplishments. They think telling people that they've beaten Dark Souls should be impressive and an easy mode would undercut that. Nevermind that so have hundred of thousands of other people and they don't bring it up because... it's a loving video game, who gives a hot gently caress? I'm impressed by people who do speed running because I don't have the patience for it (outside a couple titles) but if someone cornered me at a party to brag about how they're the #3 Gex speed runner in all of Idaho, I'd kick them in the teeth.

tbh when you get to a certain amount of granularity with a dozen sliders it sorta does start to feel like they’re just asking the player to be the designer. Like, do they really expect people to intuitively know how many frames the parry window should be and how long roll invincibility should last for them to enjoy the game?

Certainly not but if you like a game enough to care and want the option to fine-tune things, I say go nuts.

I thought it looked really cool but he couldn't keep his excitement to himself and spoiled the whole story. "Hey dad, guess what just happened!" and then would tell me everything. At least he was excited about something so I'm not mad at him about it. Hell yeah. 👍

Automata 10 Pack posted:Hell yeah. 👍 I mean, if an 8 year old can run through it, the game can't be THAT hard can it? I think I only had to find YouTube videos for 1 or 2 levels so he could see what he was doing wrong. Then he got really into FNAF Security Breach and played almost nothing but that for 2 months. He would record the jump scare videos and play them over and over again for everyone to see despite their protests. Smart kid, but now he's got a day of time out for biting his brother today. (To be fair, his brother kicked him in the head, but still, no dude.)

I've been watching someone cover every single Famicom game, and it's funny that the real reason games were overall (but not always!) harder there wasn't because companies felt Americans couldn't handle hard games, but because most of the games had unbalanced and lovely difficulty that got somewhat fixed in international releases. So really, Japanese games were harder because of Lazy Devs.

As I get older I have much less time, patience, and desire to play something really challenging. If I find myself repeating sections or bosses multiple times or losing any meaningful progress I get frustrated. I usually set whatever I’m playing to an easier difficulty and just enjoy the content of the game. I’ve beaten my share of fromsoft games and the like, and know I’m not up for that kind of experience anymore. Overcoming challenge is less appealing to me than making consistent and uninterrupted progress and being able to play the game in full without having to worry about a difficulty roadblock. So, skill issue.

I'm still committed to entering the thresher of a Souls boss again and again but if I can't figure out how to progress in a game, including From games, to the point where I'm not enjoying myself I am much more likely now to check a walkthrough to get things flowing again. I was always disappointed in myself doing that when younger. Horrible memories of OoT Water Temple pushing me to buy an unofficial strategy guide.
