I feel like there’s a good chance he loves his friend and that’s why he built it. I also think there’s a good chance some part of that castle will intentionally kill his friend while he laughs maniacally.
The game made you think there was something wrong with your game or TV by showing fake effects. Some of them aren’t really relatable anymore due to their age, but the top comment shows you all the timestamps and what the effect was.
The game actively messed with you. About 1/2 through it would pause and throw up a “Thank you for playing the demo! Look for the full game coming soon!” That sort of thing.
That’s San Andreas. I loved all their missions and even though they also could be reduced to only, driving, flying and shooting they all felt distinct and memorable.
Invading Madd Dogg’s mansion and stealing lyric book and delivering it back OG Loc who had a party in your hood was fun. Stealing jetpack for a hippy, burying alive someone in construction site while they are in portable toilet, doing heists with Catalina, all that was fun.
I can’t seem to recall a single GTA 4 or 5 mission / moment truly memorable besides the line “Causin, let’s go bowling”. Maybe it’s all related to when I played SA and probably my memory was better then.
The meme makes it seem like it was a dumb gimmick for 9 year olds. I still think it's one of the coolest things ever. I wish i would've appreciated more at the time, but i was busy mashing buttons instead of reading dialogues.
I remember playing MGS4 on the PS3 when it came out, and I was so pumped when Psycho Mantis made an appearance.
I had just got the console, so I didn’t have any save data for him to find. The controllers that came with it didn’t have dualshock either, so he couldn’t make my controller move.
In the end, Mantis really just seemed like a confused old man, which honestly fit pretty well into that game. There were a lot of themes about old soldiers aging out, I mean Snake’s body is literally betraying him. But Psycho Mantis’ domain was the mind, so it does seem fitting that he had a senior’s moment with me.
No it was them proposing changes that they were saying would make the grand easier but would objectively make it worse for everyone who isn’t getting 10kill + game every game (and a 10 kill game is pretty rare even for good players) but really that was the straw that broke the camels back and it was backlash fro. Years of shitty practices.
And the best part is, I’m sure nobody even knows what game I’m talking about, but they think they might have it narrowed to 3 or 4.
Some of my favorite games on the planet are literally “wander around opening doors” and “go to a place to solve simple puzzles, press some buttons, and don’t die”
Like Tetris or one of those Eye Spy games? Games where you go nowhere, or do nothing? Guarantee, you’re still moving something from A to B. Even if it’s just the mouse cursor.
I was gonna say it couldn’t be Hunt Showdown, but it actually fits pretty well, minus the friendly NPC. Start game, collect clues, fight the boss, wait for the banish and try to defend, then take the boss token to the extract, all while trying not to die from enemy players. Of course the enemy players make it exciting, and I guess that’s why I’m not that into single player games.
How else can you create a good player experience while not alienating casual players though?
That I’m not sure. I personally haven’t noticed any difference between the emulated one and a “real” BIOS, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. In theory they should all work the same regardless of their version, but I don’t know that.
This is why I still kind of appreciate digital downloads in their own way. I can’t think of any format of purchasing a game that has 100.00% chance of working 20 years in the future. Steam, at least, has been able to get those purchases reliably for that long.
What is the quality of the 3rd party tools like? I’d be interested in the scalpel holder and the bit holder. I don’t need the Free P4 saw ever so replacing it would be just fine.
The tools are 3D printed in metal. The designs are excellent and the tools work quite well. I’ve been using them for at least six months and haven’t had any problems.
I got the bit holder, the T-Shank saw blade holder, and the scalpel holder. They more than make up for what they replaced, except for the blades. Since I always carry both a plain edge and a serrated blade, it’s all a trade up.
