Bit of diablo, bit of Borderlands; good game but lacks variety and also has some insane jumps in the difficulty. Playing on Normal is hard enough with no extra payout. Hard is impossible unless you are absolutely perfect in execution. Might as well put it on Easy and just have fun endlessly blasting punks, mutants and machines because when you start dying in the first 2 seconds of every boss fight, it stops being fun.
Yeah. It’s a bit amateurish, but it’s a cheap game too. They clearly spent a lot more time on the writing and visuals but really my only heavy criticism is that there isn’t enough variety in how you play. There’s basically just 1 build and 1 set of viable weapons. But if you just wanna turn your brain off and blow things up, it’s an awesome game.
I think I beat all of the non optional content in Celeste in non-assisit mode, but a lot of the difficult optional content becomes much more tolerable with assist mode. Even just setting it to 90% speed is amazing. My reflexes aren’t great, and more importantly I don’t have as much time as I used to. I don’t want to spend hours trying to beat an optional challenge. They’re still challenging at 90% speed in assist mode, but they don’t take me hours to do.
Dungeon of the Endless you should try Easy mode because it’s actually the normal mode lol. The easy mode is called Too Easy. Those are the only two difficulties (apart from a different world gen setting thingy).
I think people get too caught up on what difficulty you should play. If you get frustrated, turn the difficulty down. Then, if you get bored, turn it back up.
A game that gets a huge thumbs down from me is Resident Evil Village. I died a lot early on because I didn’t understand the game and hadn’t played a console fps in forever (and there was a graphical glitch making everything grayscale). The game asked me if I wanted to go to easy mode. I finally did. Once I got the hang of it I was ready to increase it back. NOPE! You can only go down to easy mode and then never change it ever. The reason this pisses me off is because are we so concerned with bragging about accomplishments in single player games that we remove useful features? Why? Who cares! I get the same anger towards and rogue like game that doesn’t have a save and quit feature because they’re worried about people save scumming. Oh boo hoo, maybe someone save scummed to beat the games, who cares? Sometimes shit comes up and I need to stop playing. I’d rather not have to throw away a whole run than worry about people saying they beat the game but save scummed their way to it.
This might be a weird one as the game is often blamed for not having difficulty settings, but Elden Ring. While it doesn’t have a straight up setting that says easy, there’s a lot of ways to make the game easier.
I really hate how Fromsoft put the “Prepare to Die” tagline onto Dark Souls when it came to PC and seems to develop into more bullshitty scenarios that kill you in unpredictable ways. Elden Ring has for example a lot of enemies that hold their attack for unintuitively long just to catch you off guard and punish you when you roll on the intuitive timing.
The community is to blame as well for the bad reputation of the games with people making fun of others using big shields and summons to beat the game. And herein lie the difficulty options of Elden Ring:
Using greatshields makes a lot of the game a lot easier
Using spirit ashes makes places that allow them a lot easier (as opposed to player and npc summons they don’t affect the enemies health pool)
Using magic allows you to attack with little risk to yourself
You can also summon other players but i don’t know if that makes the game easier: As noted above it raised the enemies HP so everyone has to do their part to succeed but if you are a caster you can mostly sit back and blast enemies from afar while your summons tank. Using player summons also opens your world up for invasions and while the invader usually is in a 1v3 situation they also usually know what they are doing and how to deal with such situations.
If you’re still stuck at a boss, just go somewhere else and explore. The game is designed to teach you that lesson with the first actual boss but a lot of people take it as the game just being hard.
All of this is to say: it is okay to use the games integrated mechanics that make it easy. It doesn’t make you less of a gamer. Elden Ring has such a beautifully crafted world and if you’re looking very interesting lore and it’s a shame that seemingly all people talk about is the difficulty. It is actually the easiest Fromsoft title if you want it to be as it gives you a lot more and more powerful tools than the other games.
(Also if you see a chonky looking gal in black full body armour called Sieglinde, summon me. I have great heals, a big chonky sword and love helping people 😘)
Wszystko. Bardziej jawne to pro-ZSRR, ale konto postuje też sporo artykułów typu “Rosja rozgramia Ukrainę” czy “Rosja grozi atomówką”. Dużo też postów prochińskich
U mnie to jest powszechne bo jest duże skrzyżowanie przed prewencją i jak jest czerwone to notorycznie włączają syrenę. Nie będę tego zgłaszać bo mieszkam obok ale jakby komuś się chciało to mogę zacząć notować daty 😜
No ja jak widzę jakieś prorosyjskie gówno (np. Na memes) to po prostu myślę sobie że to boty i trolle wrzuciły i po prostu nie przyjmuję tego do siebie. W sensie wiesz, jak jakaś rzecz przekracza granicę absurdu to ją ignorujesz, albo jak nie dajesz rady to można walnąć bloka. Taka wada wolnych mediów, raj dla propagandy i szerzenia gówna.
we really need to archive archive.org tbh. If there was an open source fediverse alternative that would be great. The hard part would be the amount of storage needed for the whole thing.
My thoughts on emulation is that it is an absolute necessity in order to preserve the history of gaming. However, it will also probably always be a grey area regarding copyright. Especially with emulation of current gen I find it not okay, since the original creator still earns money with it. But if a game or console is not sold anymore? Nobody loses money from me using an emulator to play Chrono Trigger with save states and increased game speed to make the farming and boss fights easier.
Chrono Trigger is still being sold actually, so probably not the best example. That said, I still have my original PS1 Chrono Trigger disc that I haven’t played on original hardware (or even my still-hooked-up PS3) for a while because I legally dumped it and play it with a much higher emulated disc read speed. As much as Nintendo has made explicit statements to the contrary, it is legal in most countries to back up your own games and do with them what you will.
Notably, the Steam version is a port of the iOS version, making it a HUGE step down from the DS version, which combined the anime cutscenes from the PS1 version with an absolute wealth of new systems and features.
I used emulation to show a bunch of old PS1, PS2, and original Xbox games I had when I was younger to my partner. It was a fun evening, and they actually enjoyed most of them. They didn’t really get into gaming until the Wii, so it was nice to see their reactions to some of the older stuff.
But I agree with the other comments here, it should really only be used for preservation or things you can’t purchase from retail anymore.
True I would not recommend linking romsites here. Though I do find using k3b to extract roms off of phyisical discs I own to be useful when trying to emulate them.
I got back into emulation recently with one of those handheld emulators (like Retroid, but a different brand). It’s mind blowing to me to play old Gameboy or GBA games on there because it feels just like playing on the genuine article, except the screen is like 3x better and backlit and all that. Plus all the games are just right there at your fingertips!
I don’t find myself using it as much as I should. I think retro games just don’t interest me as much as modern ones. I think they are cool and worth playing, I just find it hard to let go of the conveniences of modern gaming.
I am not sure if ps2 is considered retro yet but I find that era to be a good compromise between classic games and the convenience of modern control schemes. the only gameboy games I remember playing was mario and pokemon though I preferred the original 8bit mario games. I also recently found out about a week ago that pcsx2 has its own gameplay record feature which made this video easier than my previous one to make due to not having to use a screen recorder.
