If it’s under 5€ I might buy and never play it. If it’s over 30€ I will never buy it.

Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

‘Puzzles’ that are just fetch quests for numbers or pieces of something.

It’s so boring and such a waste of my time.

Let me circle these four pillars to find the numbers on them and plug them into the whatever keypad. Wowie. What a head scratcher. I sure feel like I solved a thing, boy howdy.

Doc_Crankenstein,

Yea, if it’s a lock code or but you’re not gonna make me think or work out what those numbers are, like finding calendars dates or other info from the game world and needing to piece it together, then just make it a damn note to find instead of making me hunt around for each individual number or those lame “match the symbols” shit. Those are so lazy.

Thanks man! I try to never smudge the graphite and always work with a piece of paper under my drawing hand.

These games feel like they were made for people 30y old than I am. The writing is atrocious…

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

because old people like atrocious writing?

verdi,

When you’re 80, your patience isn’t what it used to be 😏

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

that would mean they should have less tolerance for atrocious writing.

verdi,

That assumes an equal proclivity and competence for reading, which is manifestly not the case…

prole,

That’s weird since the last comment I read said they were 36 and felt it was for people 20 years younger than them.

verdi,

20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

It’s only $3 on play store and iPhone store. The phone version has the advantage that you only have to cast/input each spell once, and then you have a button to press.

I would like it so much more if it didn’t have that dumb parry mechanic.

floquant, do gaming w We don't have to make it complicated

I’m not a retro gamer, but I also don’t really understand the appeal of 1:1 PC ports - in my mind you’d either want to go for the full experience with the original console and controllers, the CRT TVs they were designed for etc, and if you really wanted to play it on a modern device emulators fit the bill perfectly. Is there something special about the original code being ported to x86? At least remasters try to take some advantage of that modern hardware, although I understand it’s not the “same” game

Muaddib,

People are shy about maybe doing crimes

floquant,

Ah, right. That possibility didn’t cross my mind x)

Seeing as I am old. Super Metroid and Castlevania II: Simom’s Quest. I can… and have played them dozens of times through at this point.

Kenny2999, do games w Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007
@Kenny2999@lemmy.world avatar

Easy to agree with that list. Stuff like Witcher3+dlcs were a mesmerizing experience.

I haven’t played that many, but I enjoyed Ori and the Blind Forest and Carrion.

I adore Supraland, which is more of a Zelda/Portal/Metroid mix.

JigglySackles,

Ayyyy plus one on both Carrion and Supraland! Loved both of those. I can’t wait to get the latest Surpaland game (Supraworld iirc?). Such a fun puzzle platformer.

@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

Waiting for the game to complete development before I give it a try!

JigglySackles,

For sure. I don’t care to get in on early access too often.

Super Metroid will always be my favourite. I also enjoyed Axiom Verge and Bloodstained ROTN.

I generally like shorter Metroidvania like Iconoclasts and some of the Shantae series or even Yoku’s Island Express which has some backtracking.

The Metroidvania tag is a bit like Dubstep in music, a lot of those Dubstep tracks aren’t Dubstep but they can still be fun for some people.

mika_mika,

Metroidvania tag and roguelike tags have become so diluted as descriptors I have no idea what I’m getting anymore when I see them on an “indie title”.

Just so it’s not forgotten to time I want to recommend AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). It’s basically what if Metroid 2 was made in the Super Metroid engine.

I’d recommend any of the 2D Metroids, but if you’re going to play Metroid 2, that’s the version to play.
