I think local multiplayer absolutely peaked with the Nintendo DS. The download games where you could play with one cartridge, multiplayer without wifi, pictochat. Today you have to subscribe to shitty online services or at least play through wifi, which completely annihilates the possibility to play in a car, bus or train without a router.
I think it was more about making money with subscriptions by incentivizing getting Nintendo Online to play against your friends. I bet they profited massively during corona from this business model.
I get why the poor perfomance got the game some negative reviews, but I don’t get the batmobile hate at all. I love my little tank and thought the game had some great passages for it.
All that aside I enjoyed a lot of the story missions as well and liked the plot and how much of an impact your story progression had on the open world.
Yeah idk, the Riddler making you do time trial batmobile races kind of feels like the Joker forcing you to do taxes. I didn’t mind them from a gameplay perspective, it just seemed kind of silly.
I do think the Combat got a bit old with the Batmobile. But that’s just my personal opinion. I do like all the other things the Batmobile introduced, like the riddler riddles and the races (not to mention how fun it is to just destroy the environment)
The plot though is amazing. If I had to pick between it or Arkham city (my other favorite) I don’t know which one I would pick. It would be a difficult decision
I’m cheating a little bit by posting screenshots I took a few days ago, but I’m a college student and I’m not scheduled to start classes again until next month. So playing is like the only thing I really have on my plate right now besides a few pet projects. I try to get at least an hour in though on games to help clear my mind and relax (though, there’s probably better ways to do that)
50% of it is just me wanting to share the screenshots. I considered just dumping the screenshots without much context, but this way I feel like I’m building a habit around it and i feel like it’s easier for people to find, if they really want too for some reason, a screenshot they missed. I totally get why it would be irritating though. A lot of them on Reddit I feel like we’re really low effort posts
Skyrim really is a magical experience like that. I wish I was old enough to experience it on launch in the early 2010s just so I could experience that with the rest of the community for the first time
I didn’t get it right away, since I try not to buy anything in the first month it’s out so I get a good feel of the game. Also, you know… poor. But mostly the first thing.
But holy shit the videos of dragon fights… I had to fight an impulse buy.
Since then I’ve spent over $100 on various copies for various consoles and my computer, all on sale. It may not seem like much, but when 95% of my library was purchased during sales and events… That’s a lot.
It’s not perfect, but there are so many mods for it, you can tailor it to whatever you want. Personally, I like a bit of survival mechanics like food/water and temperatures/wetness. I also like the older oblivion style of magic combat.
Bethesda may not have made the greatest video game of all time, but at this point it might as well be the best fantasy RPG-lite sandbox I’ve played. The only thing that could make it better is a settlement system like fallout. I like to build.
Survival is what I went for on this Modpack too. I have survival Mode enabled, along with a whole bunch of clothes and stuff for warmth. I’ve been trying to to get the Campfire and Frostfall mods to work but they won’t load in game for some reason so I may just have to give up
I would kill for a settlement system like Fallout 4’s or a C.A.M.P System like Fallout 76. Even just a revamp of Heart fire using the new system might be enough to get me to buy a 4th rerelease of Skyrim
Well, i haven’t neen much of a gamer for years (got too adicted to WoW), but just started again this year. I am amazed by Skyrim, and am now modding it up.
I also just got Cyberpunk 2077, and will get into it soon.
I’ve only seen that done for the TCG to do trades. Odd how a video game series turned into a franchise with a trading card game got a video game adaption of the trading card game.
Only on games that were designed to use the IR. It was limited to Mystery-Gift-type quick transfers due to the low data speed and the need to keep the systems pointed directly at each other.
RC pro am in the big bathroom with 4 stalls, passing the link cable under the dividers. Best way to skip class ever. Only ever managed 4 players a couple times but it was amazing.
IIRC you only needed like one copy of the game, too??
I was a transparent purple homie. Ended up having to write my name on it because all my friends were too and we didn’t wanna accidentally switch them up. One of the group was notorious for not taking care of his shit and I didn’t wanna end up swapping with him on accident and getting a janky boi
I remember it for Pokemon, but also for those Zelda games that were a pair - Oracle of Ages/Seasons? But I don’t think it let you do much, just continue a game save when you finished one of the two games.
Four Swords is the most competitive co-op game I have ever played. It’s brutally fun, but you’re going to want to punch your friends in the throat after about 30 minutes.
It had both! You could use either a link cable or a password to continue your game in the opposite title, and to bring over the rings you had from the original save. At the jeweler’s shop, the red snake was for password transfers and the blue snake was for link cable transfers!
