i’ll probably be sticking with NV for a while since it fits with my schedule (except for multiplayer games i play with friends, i tend to give those priority over single player games)
If you have a way to play NES games you should play “Cyberstadium Series: Basewars”.
Yes, it’s a lengthy title. But basically, it’s robots playing baseball. And if they get on base safely, they’re safe. But if you throw them out, the robots fight each other. And if the out robot wins, he’s safe. If the out robot loses, he’s out!
And you can upgrade your robots like mechs. You win baseball games, you get cash. You spend the cash on robot upgrades. Now you can fight better, throw faster, hit baseballs harder.
I played heavily back in the day I don’t think the money was ever really the problem It was the time. When I finally settled down and had a family I had to stop. $15 a month for service and $50 every 2 years for DLC isn’t really all that much money If you consider 60 hours a week of entertainment for that price a deal. If you are that close to the edge you’re going to be on the edge anyway.
This visual is uniquely soothing, reminds me of artist Cory Arcangel, who did an art piece with just the Super Mario clouds drifting on a television screen - hacking into the NES cartridge and getting rid of everything else - to much admiration.
I remember reading an art journalist applauding the Impressionistic feel of the thing, the way Arcangel brought a background object to the fore, and in the process transformed it into something new entirely, with a surprising character and strength of presence.
Oh. No. My bad. I was still running off the exhilaration of the escape. We never lost the loot. My partner hid with it on the island in a pile of barrels using a Emote that puts him in a barrel (while they were sinking our ship), then I swung by and picked him up with the loot and we managed to sell it while they were chasing our asses by using me as the distraction.
