EntropyPure, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

New school: Hollow Knight and Silksong

Old school: Super Metroid

Hollow Knight didn’t really do it for me so I haven’t tried Silksong yet (I hated not having a map for each area until I purchased one).

I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck and seeing if Super Metroid holds up.

If you didn’t like Hollow Knight you probably won’t like Silksong either.

The game is good, and incredibly polished, but feels aimed at the people who 100% the first game and wanted more.

Good to know. I did play Hollow Knight for a while but drifted off of it, it is not something that I personally would want to 100%

fartsparkles,

I’d say the second one was even harder too.

datavoid,

Super Metroid definitely holds up

I always tought it was standard for pc players to have at least 1 emulator installed, usually Retroarch or Emulation Station.

But since you are willing to give them a shot, try Metroid Fusion too, I admit it’s heavily on rails, but it feels fun and the movement is improved over Super Metroid.

There is a patch to make Super Metroid behave somewhat like MF, but I think playing it vanilla first is fun on it’s own.

dukemirage,

when oldschool is actually more accessible than newschool

kratoz29,

More accessible? Please explain.

As in easier?

dukemirage,

Yes. At least I didn’t hit any roadblocks like in Hollowknight where a lot of patience and concentration was required to beat certain bosses and not lose your sanity on the ridiculously long ways to the arena.

This is sick, I never knew about this site

I’ve been putting off finishing my 700 achievements for too long. I’m scheduling some time with my friend to start on the halo:ce LASO next week

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

i found it when i was trying to do my Sub 3 hours Halo 3 Legendary run with friends. It was super handy for tracking it. I’ve also found the MCC Achievement Tracker pretty handy. It’s made collecting my 477/700 achievements just a little bit easier.

Good luck with CE Laso by the way. I did the first 2 levels with a friend and got stumped on the third, i know how hard it can be

I had an Ouya. I was hoping to use it as an open platform to play games on the TV, but yeah, that didn’t happen. The Raspberry Pi fulfilled that need until I got a Steam Deck.

Ouya? More like Oi Vey!

Damn, beat me to it, except I was gonna say “Ouya? Try ‘Oh no!’”

davidgro,

I was going to go for “Ouya trying to fool with this post?”

Have a friend who swore by on live.

He also bought an Ouya.

He also subscribed to Stadia.

He also pre-ordered an Amico.

Obviously I don’t trust this friends judgment

whotookkarl,

Sounds like a counter recommendary (anti-recommendist?), whatever they recommend look for the opposite instead

bamboo,

I bought Cyberpunk on Stadia on release day, since I couldn’t play it anywhere else, and it was actually great for me. The technical issues I ran into were all because the game was buggy, not because the service was bad. The biggest issue was the self self-fulfilling prophecy that Google was going to kill it, and not worth subscribing to (which they eventually did kill because of low usage). I think that if Google had spun out Stadia as it’s own company, it may have succeeded.

@dabaldeagul@feddit.nl avatar

Same here, Stadia was great the entire time it lasted. But I have good internet, so that helped. But yeah the killing factor of it ended up being google as you said. Very unfortunate.

Doomsider,

I was betting on Stadia being the future of gaming. Without having to mess with hardware or software it was an amazing product. Their service was great, but we all know how it turned out. At least they refunded me all my purchases.

dabaldeagul,
@dabaldeagul@feddit.nl avatar

Hah I actually made a profit on their shutting down. Or at least, on Cyberpunk 2077. Bought CP77 and got a free controller + Chromecast bundle, sold the Chromecast for 45 bucks and got Cyberpunk refunded in full. After buying it again on sale through Steam, I had a profit of 15€.

And I still have the controller! The Stadia controllers are awesome.

Credibly_Human,

Thats the thing about Google isn’t it.

Even non techie people don’t trust them to keep any new service going, so they have to force people to use their new services, which of course comes with a ton of bad will, and then when people inevitably don’t like this and don’t spend as google has envisioned, they shutter it, continuing the cycle of failing more and more and probably reinforcing internally the idea that the only way to make more money is through enshitification rather than innovation, because they can’t admit to themselves they’ve destroyed their brand image.

Ask this friend which stocks to buy then short sell it.

Blaiz0r, do games w [Darktide] I'm actually really excited for the Scum

Yeah I think it’s cool too, used to love Confrontation and Necromunda, had no interest in Scitari.

From the sounds of the Dev blog the character build options are really interesting, so I’m optimistically looking forward to it.

Even though I know this is satire, it still made want to shoot OP.

Man, I feel so much nostalgia over Halo, especially Reach. It was the first campaign I completed on Legendary. My brother and I used to play the Swat game mode a lot, and we made one hell of a team. It was a nice contrast to arguing all the time. I enjoyed when I was in the zone and reacting so quickly that salty people would accuse me of using aimbot. That’s the highest compliment one can receive in an online shooter.

Yeah but this one has my favourite monopoly’s logo on it.

BootLoop, do games w We have one at home

Haven’t heard that name in years.

Atropos, do games w We have one at home

I have an ultra rare OnLive streaming console. I will let it go at the low, low price of one Steam Machine if anyone wants to trade!

LiveLM,

Wonder if anyone ever managed to homebrew it to run something else

Atropos,

I wish. But sadly no, it is merely ewaste trash I will eventually pass on to a recycler.

whotookkarl,

Wow, replied before I saw this. 2 on live references in a single thread, feel like I just spotted a bigfoot or something

SparroHawc,

I have that and an ‘OnLive founding member’ T-shirt that I wear to tech events. Especially when I suspect there’s going to be something tone-deaf getting launched.

I got both for free.

I think I might want to get one of those controllers. the trackpads on the Steam Deck were way better than I was expecting.

itkovian, do games w We have one at home

Ouya walked so Steam box can run. /s

aeronmelon,

If by walk you mean it suffered from polio…

itkovian,

Exactly. Ouya was such a disaster.

@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

It looks really interesting! Not sure if that’s going to be a week one purchase like the Arbites was, I’ll take a look at it once it’s proper released and I play some games with them as allies.

CaptSatelliteJack,

I hoaxes picked up the Arbites yet, but there’s strong odds I snag the Scum right away. The mechanics on offer are so interesting and unique. Maybe I’ll be your ally some time so I can show you it’s features!
