just beat a difficult game about climbing and i loved it! it’s the only other game in the genre that has risen to the heights of getting over it in terms of gameplay mechanics and level design.

if anyone reading this knows about a community for these types of games (foddian? getting over it-likes?), please send it my way. i love these games to bits and have so much to say about them but to my knowledge basically no one cares about these games outside of watching people on twitch get angry at them.

looking forward to playing return of the obra dinn, then i’ll probably start speedrunning the climbing game until baby steps releases lol

GTA IV and NFS Unbound on Rog Ally.

I’ll be honest, I was too young to understand GTA IV’s lore back then, and I was mainly playing it for barely getting 20 FPS on my PC and the physics system of the game. But now when I actually listen to the dialogues and radio station, man it sounds like they saw what America would be like in 2020s a decade early. “We should reduce minimum wage and remove rights of citizens to fight against the illegal immigration crisis”. Damn.

Still going on Baldurs Gate 3.

Underwaterbob, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 10th

Metroid Dread, Stardew Valley, and Baldur’s Gate 3.

The former on Yuzu’s last build on a nice 32 inch monitor with a big controller that doesn’t cramp up my hands. It’s pretty hard, but I did just get past a part I hear a lot of people quit on, so there’s that. I can’t imagine trying to play it with Joycons. I’d probably snap them in half.

WoW Season of Discovery and it’s been fantastic. The group of friends I used to play with 10 years ago all decided to start playing again, and we just had our first raid yesterday. It’s been ages since I’ve laughed so much during a night of gaming.

metal gear portable ops 😎

sleepybisexual,

K, tho is there an order for metal gear games? Where do I start? I have metal gear solid (the gameboy colour port)

DoucheBagMcSwag,

You might want to wait on Mgs 3 if you have a modern console or modern PC

Metal Gear Solid Delta is coming out this year which is a complete remake of MGS 3 Snake Eater in the FOX Engine

SitD,

not really, portable ops is pretty much self contained as a story. just hop in and enjoy ma cyber friend 😎

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is an obvious one.

sleepybisexual,

This is a beautiful game, kind of sad that my attention typically lost around Chapter 2.

Patapon

simple,

The soundtrack to that game got burned in my head forever…

Pata pata pata pon. Dunka dunka dunka don. Pon pon pata pon.

Same for me, I have only beaten the first title, and I struggled a lot, I think the latter titles are even harder… Oh boy.

METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

Seconding. It's rather easy since the levels have to be so small for the PSP, but goddamn it it's a fun game.

Throwing in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (has an English patch), Rengoku 2 (sort of action looter dungeon crawler where youre a robot and the loot replaces your arms and head and shit with weapons).

SOCOM tactical strike is one I rather enjoy, the Armored Core games as well.

sleepybisexual,

I wanna get into metal gear, where do I start?

Big metal gear fan here, prepare for what might be a bit much:

There are a couple of good startig points depending on what you as a gamer want, and I’ll try to explain them without spoiling things because figuring out MGS is part of the fun (I’m quite proud that I have an encyclopedic level knowledge of this stupid series)

Metal Gear 1 (MSX) - Either grab an emulator or a copy of MGS3 remake and you can play the very first game in the series. It’d get reconned massively but playing it still gives you the info you need to understand basically all the background story. But, tbh, it’s not a very fun game and if you don’t want to play it having someone like me explain the story to you would work just as well

Metal Gear Solid (PSX) - The first 3D game in the series (solid) and where a lot of us started. Probably the most common starting point and I would likely recommend it as the best. Won’t say too much cuz it’s better to go in blind.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - The earliest game in the timeline, so starting here with Naked Snake (big boss) would let you see the series unfold chronologically, but you’ll also have plot points from later games spoiled and explained before you get to them, ruining the effect somewhat I’d say.

MGS1 is likely the best bet. MG1 is good if you can handle what it is, worth giving it a shot at least. MGS3 is good, too, if you’re more concerned than the one 5about understanding the series without needing to replay the games after beating them all so you can see how shit connected.

As for which games you need to play, some aren’t canon, so just avoid: MG1&2 on the NES, Twin Snakes remake on GC, the GBA game, and Acid! The details of Portable Ops aren’t canon, but the general story is, that one is up to you if you wanna play it, I think peace walker is so much better that it’s a skip, personally.

Always down to answer questions or discuss MGS if you need it, shits amazing

sleepybisexual,

Which platform is the first one, the only mg game I played is the GBC one, and well, its either very hard or I suck at it

gamermanh,
@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I listed the consoles next to the games (forgot MGS3, which is PS2 originally)

MSX is an old Japanese computer, and why I recommended emulation or the copy that comes with MGS3s remakes

PSX is the original PlayStation

If you found the GBC one hard then the very first Metal Gear on MSX will be even worse. MGS1 shouldn’t be too bad, though.

sleepybisexual,

Yea, prolly wind bother with msx

ProdigalFrog, (edited )

You’re not missing much. I would honestly just stick with the order in which they were released, starting with Metal Gear Solid 1 on the ps1. It holds up well.

I personally disliked mgs2 a lot, but found 3 to be fantastic. 4 I also disliked for story which just draaaags, and 5 has the most fluid gameplay, which I did find fun, but the story was pretty meh on that one, and it ends pretty jarringly since they fired the creator mid production.

If you want just the highlights, play 1, 3, and 5.

The two PSP games are chronologically after mgs3, so I’d recommend playing that first to get the most out of them.

Mgs5 is basically a direct sequel to peacewalker on the PSP.

knokelmaat,

I also recommend Metal Gear Solid 1, it’s a fantastic game and it works well on PSP!

simple, do gaming w What are some good PSP games?

Daxter and MediEvil Resurrection are two of my favorites.

sleepybisexual,

Your mean resident evil? Never heard of MediEvil

simple,

It’s a remake of an older Playstation 1 game. It gets a lot of hate but I honestly think it’s very charming.

Star Ocean Second Evolution for me, faithful port of the original PSX RPG. It’s very good, but if you do play it, it is worth researching which two skills help you power through the game lol.

Making a new comment off my other reply because I have more niche recommendations: Carnage Hearts EXA, you program robots to fight each other, actually quite in depth.

Good RPGs: Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, Legend of Mana (originally PS1)

Phantasy Star Portable 2: pretty decent PSP version of the phantasy Star online game.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, kind of a weird "fighting" game, very unique mechanics, but really fun, lots of fan service, and tons of really really excellent music from across the final fantasy series

SoulCalibur Broken Destiny: solid entry in the series even on portable

And Castlevania Symphony of the Night (originally PS1)

The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Highly recommend emulation on those or playing on a vita for the nearly unplayable controls on original PSP

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?

It’s not amazing, but as far as side-scrolling platformers go, it was fairly compelling.

Also the PSP can play PS1 games, so you have access to a pretty big library of classics.

sleepybisexual,

Cool :3

cafuneandchill, (edited ) do gaming w What are some good PSP games?

If you’re into racing games, I would suggest ATV Offroad Fury Pro. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately; it’s one of my favourites for that system

EDIT: Also, Monster Hunter games are a classic! I’ve never played any for the PSP, though
