I’ve played a bit of the original Resident Evil emulated on ps5. I really like the camp and the atmosphere, but it required a bit to much focus from me to proceed further in the game. I felt it became a bit difficult to know where to go and memorize the locations and puzzles.
I’ve bought Resident Evil HD on steam, so I’ll try it again soon in the remaster.
My co-op buddy and I also just started RE5. I know it was made in another time, but it’s quite hilarious how problematic a lot of it is. So we’re just laughing at all the obvious stereotypes and enjoying the gameplay. We first tried on hard but it became to frustrating very quickly, so we started again on normal difficulty.
Oh yeah I played a ton of re5 coop back in the day. Eventually you can unlock the “professional” difficulty and it’s wild. Basically 1 shot deaths and the revive meter goes down in less than a second. You have to be right next to your partner at all times if you want to be able to revive them before it’s game over…
I love the Resident Evil series, though I think Zero is actually my favorite. It has the best version of Rebecca and my favorite version of Wesker, plus we actually get to see him and W. Birkin interacting and being diabolical together. That, and Wesker Mode is really fun.
Resident Evil 5 is probably my second favorite, because imo that's the best version of Chris (edit to add that it's also my second favorite version of Wesker). I'm not a fan of how he was handled in Village, and I despise that they used the same VA that they used for Carlos in the RE3 remake. Nothing against the VA, it's just every time Chris opened his mouth in Village, my mind kept going, "That's Carlos That's Carlos That's Carlos".
I hope one of Capcom's upcoming remakes is Code: Veronica. I nabbed it on Xbox a while back, but man, I am not made for those old school tank controls, so I never ended up finishing it.
i tried to play the original about a decade ago and my partner at the time had to dodge me throwing the controller when the dogs jumped through the window. that’s when i knew i wasn’t cut out for playing horror games. (although i enjoy watching other people play them!)
My first round of Tetris was on an old DMG my late stepfather owned. It was my first time even handling one of those old bricks, but I cherished it. I don’t know what in my young brain it hit, but something just felt right. That thing got lost somewhere in packing up the house after his passing, probably still had that exact cart slotted.
I don’t think I played it for years after that, until I got my OG Xbox, with the double pack Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds. If I wasn’t running around being a squeaker on Counter-Strike or MechWarrior, I was playing Tetris. Weekends spent gripping the Duke, trying to get as far as I could.
I kinda suck at Tetris. We had a “LAN” last year where we played some battle royale Tetris game, and there was one girl who absolutely demolished everyone. After that I feel like a kid playing (and failing) with one of those block shape matching toys whenever I play Tetris. It’s a cool game though. Nice simple gameplay, but high skill ceiling. I respect people who absolutely destroy me at a game due to pure skill
I don’t think I ever played Tetris before I got the OG Gameboy. I was like “ugh, ofcourse they give you a boring ass puzzle game with it”
I tried it but my focus was more on super Mario land that I bought with it.
But after awhile I tried it again with more effort and got totally sucked in to it. Just the easy to play and getting more difficult the better you did was so addictive.
I remember using a game genie to get only line blocks to see how far I could get with it.
Later I played the version on NES and other ones on various platforms but the one on Gameboy is still my favorite one.
He knows that the mega-corporations are evil and that the world’s future is hopeless. He knows he isn’t going to save anyone.
But he keeps killing the demons, because it’s simply the right thing to do. It’s who he is. Why did he get sent to Mars in the first place? Because he spoke up about the injustices he witnessed in the Marines. And as every Marine knows, that’s the worst possible thing you could do for your career trajectory.
But doomguy doesn’t care. Because doomguy doesn’t believe in other Marines, in corporate bigwigs and other cultists, in the scientists naively working towards enslaving the galaxy, or in ignorami such as you or I. Doomguy has been liberated from the chains of hope.
Now he lives a simple path, following his own dharma: Doomguy sees fucked up shit, and he fucks it up.
A true role model for those seeking reason in a life bereft of hope. Doomguy teaches us how to find meaning in the process, rather than the outcome.
Flowers can grow even in the most barren desert, and a Zen master can arise among even the most despondent. The demons cannot bear one with such control over the elements of their own faith and despair. And so, generation after generation, they taught their spawn to fear the coming of doomguy: The one who would overcome the trappings of hope and ego to selflessly deliver justice against his masters.
Only one who would sacrifice it all could destroy it all - to pursue ruin as progress - and only one who truly spites the mortal coil can offer such a sacrifice. Doomguy is the best of us.
Apart from preferring Kirby in Smash, the only Kirby game I’ve played is Kirby’s Dreamland on Gameboy. They hadn’t yet figured out how to persist save data in those cartridges, and it didn’t have any codes. So you had to beat it in one sitting, which I could do as a kid, which was no small fear for that era of gaming. Replaying it meant finding where the secrets are, making runs quicker each time.
I kinda like this concept of no save, I think there aren’t many games, even retro-themed ones, that make use of it as an element.
Yeah, I generally don’t like most rogue likes though, because they often lean on procedural levels and there’s usually not an “ending”. So I play it enough that I feel like I get it and then I’m done.
Minit is one that comes to mind. It would actually be rad if someone put Minit on an OG Gameboy cartridge. I think it totally would have worked as a Gameboy game with no save data.
Edit: ah I forgot that there is a bit of info retained between runs, like spawn position.
I had Squeak Squad on the DS and played through it many times. I’ve been playing through some of the others (still don’t have the recent 3D one), and my biggest complaint is just that I’m not the target audience anymore. Haha. Some difficulty settings would be wonderful. However, whenever I want to turn off my brain for a bit I’ll boot up Triple Trouble or Amazing Mirror sometimes.
My nephew absolutely loves Kirby anything. We played some of the games together on an emulator during his visit last year, but it’s a few more years before I’ll introduce him to Dream Course. The 2d platformers are more his speed currently. And by that I mean “as long as he crossed the finish line he beat the level” even if I helped. It’s been fun playing through them to practice for the cool points
