ONE YEAR LATER posted:Has anyone checked the thumbs up/thumbs down ratio yet???? You know what's interesting? The video they put out explaining that metroid prime 4 was not coming along well and they decided to scrap everything and start over...has a lot more likes than dislikes. I'm surprised it wasn't met with a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth but it seems like gamers took the news pretty well

The number one thing to know about mario party is that you should never ever expect to win, the game will mercilessly gently caress you. So if your 6 year old can handle being on the cusp of victory only to have the game arbitrarily take away stars and give them to someone else, (while all the other players hoot and holler at the misfortune) it should be fine.

GreatGreen posted:Well now I know. The mini games are fun but goddamn that was a curveball at the end. I wouldn't be so mad if it happened to me but to see it happen to somebody just getting into video games sucks. Yeah mario party games have always been like that. Like others have said, it's more fun when it's another person in the room (rather than a computer player) because then you get all the hootin and hollerin and "you mother fucker" moments. I think Super Mario Party had a mode where you can just play the minigames instead of going through the whole board game thing, if you'd rather do that. I don't know if this newest one has that feature though Sounds like you guys were having fun up to the point when she got hosed over...it'll be worth going back to it with the correct mindset!

I played through super metroid for the first time in like 15 years. Controls took some adjustment, she really falls slowly compared to newer games. I blundered through, collecting the powerups I could remember (missed the wave beam, got to Ridley, then doubled back to find it, ugh). I made a point to defeat draygon in honorable combat (no cowardly grapple beam trick for me!) and it was like a 10 minute battle. When I finally beat the game my final time was 3:02

It's quite satisfying to pull off...but so was pumping missles into his belly. First time I played though the game (eons ago) I didn't know the trick, and he was the hardest boss in the game for me, so subsequent playthroughs were all done using the trick. It was nice to beat him the old fashioned way this time

Martman posted:Managed to get an OLED Switch at Target after only like a day of seriously searching for one, thought that would be way harder. The secondary switch needs to check the internet before it can launch games, to make sure the primary one isn't playing the game. My oled was my secondary then I went somewhere without wifi and it refused to launch any games because it couldn't verify. I dunno maybe I was doing something wrong but be advised I guess. I've since made the oled my primary

In smt4, when the demons requested something, you had a decent chance of recruiting them if you just told them to gently caress off. I dont know if that applies to smt5

Dicey dungeons is 75% off. I think people in this thread indicated it's fun? If you're using dice, it sounds like it's really RNG heavy

Regy Rusty posted:It's a good if relatively simple and easy roguelike. There is RNG in the dice rolls yes but the whole game is built around that. With most characters you'll be strategizing your build each run to be able to make use of most dice rolls in one way or other. And each character has their own gimmicks to give variety and they're all fun to play Sounds like it's worth $3.74. Thanks!

What's everyone playing this weekend? I'm going to give dicey dungeons a try. I've also been playing resident evil revelations 2 solo, probably wrap it up this weekend. Interesting game. It's meant to be played coop, with asymmetrical characters. One is the gun person, the other is the utility person. Without going too deep into it I can see potential for some really fun coop moments. It's working fine for me solo too Between those two I'm playing through metroid fusion. Rather than poke around and explore, I'm going immediately from objective to objective, hoping for a low time

Ghost Leviathan posted:Is kinda funny that Nintendo's technically never stopped using carts (in their handhelds) and suddenly storage has come around to carts being ideal again. Yeah and if switch 2 is cart based, there's a good chance it will be backwards compatible. Another advantage of physical games!

I somewhat worry about the long term lifespan of the switch. Is Nintendo still going to be fixing joycons in 20 years? Or are working joycons going to be difficult to find? Maybe switch 2 will have improved joycons that are backwards compatible with switch 1?

KingSlime posted:I consider returnal the first true PS5 / next gen game and it's incredibly good for people who enjoy rogue lites. There's quite a bit of metroid and mega man DNA in there too, so I think it'd be pretty popular with the switch crowd. Everything I've seen about that game makes it look like it's really up my alley, and it will be the reason I eventually get a ps5. The main character really gives me Samus vibes, in the sense that she's a spacelady sprinting around blasting everything

Thunder Bear posted:All of this Picross talk reminds me that I bought Picross S a while ago and still haven't tried it. The fact that some of you dudes pop in here asking for hints is a little intimidating, but no one needs the brain workout more than I do. There is a learning curve but after you start to understand how the game works, a lot of it becomes pattern recognition.
