Finished HROT. It’s a good game, like I said last week, it’s basically Quake. I started on the Hard difficulty, played through the first episode, but turned it down for the others, because I wanted more run-and-gun and not creeping around corners, because enemies kill me in two shots.

Then I also played through Animal Well. A great looking metroidvania, where you don’t fight, it’s more about avoiding enemies or scaring them away. I saw credits after less than six hours, but then spend another eight searching for secrets. I needed help from a guide for the last couple, to get to the credits the second time, for the second ending. There’s some more stuff to find, maybe a third or true ending, but I don’t really care enough to do that.

I also decided to check out Rain World, but I’m not really sure about this one. For some reason, the game resolution is 768p, which scales with nothing. This means, unless you play on a cheap or old laptop, that uses that resolution, the game will be blurry (or a tiny window). There isn’t even a x2 scaling option or something. Luckily there is a mod fixes this, but it’s still baffling, that this is even needed. Like Animal Well, it’s also a game, where fighting isn’t really the focus (although you can to some extent), but most of the time I was fighting the controls. I’ll give it a bit more time next week, but unless it suddenly clicks with me, I’ll skip this one.

Since I’m in the mood for some metroidvanias right now, I played through another one, Haiku, the Robot. It’s a pretty cookie cutter medroidvania, not bad, but also doesn’t do anything special. You find abilities, like a double jump, short teleport, morphball, stuff like that. There’s also a system like the Charms in Hollow Knight to enhance certain parts of your skill set. I usually like pixel art graphics, but I really didn’t vibe with the enemy design, and everything else is once again pretty basic.

Earlier in the week I started Remnant II with a friend, but the beginning was really rough, so much so, that I don’t know if we’ll continue. The levels and bosses are randomized to some extent, so depending on your luck you might get easier or harder bosses. Our first boss (or event) was pretty terrible. We had to run down a tower, while we were chased by lighting (but also couldn’t be too fast, because of more lightning), and had to shoot some stuff in the middle of the tower, all while enemies spawned. The worst part about this “boss” was that basically everything, except the enemies, was a one-shot death. I was terrible at this and constantly failed, but we eventually made it through. The next couple of bosses were better, but not by much. Who knows if we’ll ever get back to this one.

Then the same friend and me started a coop Baldurs Gate 3 run today. I guess we’re doing an evil run, since he picked Dark Urge and we’re going to raid the grove next time. I played through the game once, around the time of the 1.0 release, and wanted to do an evil playthrough anyway eventually, so this is fine with me.

I think I’m close to finishing Metaphor. I have a few sidequests left before what I think is going to be the final dungeon/sequence. It’s been great, and I only have very small complaints about things that don’t really matter.

Vampire Survivors has got me back in its grip. The Ode to Castlevania DLC dropped on Halloween. I really don’t understand where the time goes when I play that game.

Also picked up Webfishing, an absolutely adorable time. I don’t know that I really consider it “playing”, the actual gameplay is pretty basic, but I’ve enjoyed the peaceful nature of it and have had fun just chatting.

This is seriously dating myself, and probably hyper-specific, but it feels more like chatrooms back in the late 90s to early 2000s. Most of the rooms I’ve been in have been relaxed. Having a talk about life while someone strums “Simple and Clean” on a guitar somewhere in the background. A bit of roleplay going on.

The small lobbies, the small map, the chill gameplay, all makes for a cozy, welcoming place. Like you really did just stumble across someone’s campsite, and they invited you to sit.

Veilguard, Session, and a lot of Skate 3. It’s all been an adventure.

Wow I fucking suck at this game

The time and effort people put into these games never ceases to amaze me. This looks very impressive.

Blisterexe,

Thank you! The rig and surrounding infrastructure took 40-50 hours.

The math in this post was for this project btw.

Why do people forget that in 2011 you could have bought a used copy for $19 and even less with a trade on of a game you already finished? The digital market is not the same.

ILikeBoobies,

They just need to introduce consumer protection legislation to force allowance of resale of digital items

Entropywins,

Holy shit I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time…it’s a great idea though!

kuberoot,

Careful, NFTs lie that way. /s

The issue is, it sounds like a complicated mess in terms of figuring out exact legislations, implementations, patent and licensing rights, who’s responsible for facilitating the actual resale, and ultimately it’s gonna support and legitimize shady resellers like g2a selling stolen copies.

ILikeBoobies,

It absolutely will

If you consider inflation, $60 in 2024 is worth almost the same as $50 in 2011.

carotte, do gaming w Gamer_IRL

this is why, if you won’t pirate, you should buy used 😎

…your games will still cost 60$, probably more, but hey the money’s not going to nintendo i guess

Eiri,

Why would used games cost more than new ones?

carotte,

because the nintendo games that people care about don’t really drop in price, or at least not significantly

if you’re lucky, you might find a popular switch game used for 50$ instead of 60$, but that’s about it

and if you’re going for retro games, it’s even worse. the retro games that people care about cost a fortune, pokemon is a good example

gabereal,

Because that’s the price that (most) customers are willing to pay for them 🤷

But, if you account for inflation (using the BLS website ), $50 in Jan of 2011 is equal to a little over $70 today, so a $60 used game is kind-of a discount?
