I said come in! posted:Is Ghost Trick a difficult puzzle game? I really like the characters, but am intimidated by being too stupid to solve the puzzles. It's like, Ace Attorney difficulty. You coast through the vast majority of it but are stopped once or twice to go huhh

I really like the characters, but am intimidated by being too stupid to solve the puzzles. if my lummox brain can beat Catherine on normal, you can handle Ghost Trick I'm allergic to puzzles. Even in something like Zelda a lot of my experience is "huh? OHHHHHHHHHHHH lmao what a waste of 40 minutes, this is was simpler than that."

Also it means you spent souls on the Fun stats like More MP/Fashion Souls/Cooler Weapons/Fireballs/Laser Beams/Bloodborne.

haveblue posted:Is there a minigame for catching a fish and smashing it against a rock Play Pentiment. Oh wait, that was just my default response to anybody saying anything tangentially related to games, I should actually answer your question. Uhhh... well you can do stealth section in Pentiment that involves fish smashing. Rather than explain the context, I recommend that you just play Pentiment. Play Pentiment.

Tonight I played a few hours of today’s hottest Elden ring mod, The Convergence. It’s a relatively small overhaul mod that rebalances things slightly, though the biggest change is to spell schools, they’re much more important now. But the change I’m most excited about is how it deals with miniboss loot, now they each drop a key item you can then immediately turn in at a site of grace to purchase your choice of talisman or physick crystal tear. It’s pretty cool! I also loaded up wasteland 3 and did the tutorial, and it’s looking VERY promising, the combat felt great. I might conscript my Divinity original sin buddy and play through the game co-op. Friends, I hate to say it, but video games might be good

Glad to see it getting a PC release - I want to try it out sometime but I'm like 1 dungeon away from finishing this run of WotR and then I want to pick up TotK because that's been dangling for a while.

Played Mordhau for the first time tonight. Holy poo poo I am bad at it, but I was having a hell of a time. Random bard scrambled around the map so he could play a midi of crazy train, avoiding attacks from both teams.

I just saw that Michael Bell had an IMDB credit on Baldur's Gate 3 and noticed that he is nearly 85 years old. Gotta enjoy these dudes while it lasts because some of them are getting super up there.

They are both great games, but Triangle Strategy was my favorite game that came out last year so that has my vote. frytechnician posted:Ah! This probably seems the smartest move.

Do you prefer more sweeping narratives about war and politics in a low fantasy setting, or more personal-scale vignettes against an early Industrial Revolution backdrop?

God, I get asked this all the time. They both sound good, I'm a guy who loved Earthbound and Planescape: Torment. That's why it's kind of tricky. Might just say gently caress it and get both tbh.

I always avoided shaders because I thought it'd be a can of worms, like that episode of Star Trek: Voyager with the captain of a timeline-altering ship who kept trying to find a timeline in which his wife didn't die and he kept making the timeline worse, but with the subjective appearance of video games that are more than 30 years old. Anyway, I'm experimenting with shaders using RetroArch's crt-royale-intel and ReShade's crt-royale-reshade imitation, which can be used with any executable and not just RetroArch. In 2160p, I think that crt-royale-reshade looks better than crt-royale-intel except when the pixel art is making heavy use of checkerboard gradients or CRT glow, like the sparkling ocean at the start of Sonic the Hedgehog. The slots and scanlines get smaller with higher resolution, so you have to switch to a low resolution like 800x600 in order to see the gradient blending effects of the CRT with crt-royale-reshade, and when you do that, the simulated slot mask of the CRT is much more noticeable for crt-royale-reshade than crt-royale-intel. It also made Sonic the Hedgehog way blurrier than crt-royale-intel, so maybe there was some intermediate resolution like 1366x768 I was supposed to use. plain, 800x600. crt-royale-reshade, 800x600 (the scanlines are actually vertical by default). crt-royale-intel    Also, in Sonic the Hedgehog, the horizontal lines for highlights on bodies of water are half as thick with crt-royale-intel compared to crt-royale-reshade, making them look more like sparkles. For the ocean on the title screen, they both still work, but for the lake at the start of the first level, in crt-royale-reshade, the highlights don't glow and look like any other white pixels. Trying 800x600 and turning all the sliders both ways had no effect on it. plain. crt-royale-reshade with a grille (grid) CRT mask in 2160p. crt-royale-intel, bonus: vhs     I think I'll use crt-royale-intel as my default for home console pixel art games and crt-royale-reshade for everything else. Donkey Kong in RetroArch's FinalBurn Neo core looked better with crt-royale-reshade than crt-royale-intel because it felt like the scanlines were too thick, while crt-royale-reshade had the minimum and necessary amount of "noise" from the scanlines, smaller-than-real, like CRT for 1080p or something. I liked that crt-royale-intel's pixel glow looked more arcade-like, though. plain. crt-royale-reshade, horizontal scanlines. crt-royale-intel    crt-royale-reshade seems to work better for 2D, non-pixel art games like those on the GameCube and Wii, and handheld consoles like the GameBoy Color since they didn't have the CRT glow and all, so I'll use it as my default for those. Wario Land II: plain, lcd-grid-v2-gbc-color shader, crt-royale-intel shader, and crt-royale-reshade with the grille mask setting

shaders are great for customizing the experience and punching up a style that might not be to your taste; i know FFXIV and DS3 would both be much drearier games if i couldn't crank the saturation up by 10-15%
