I’ve heard good things about, but not myself played, Penny’s Big Breakaway, might be worth looking into, it’s got a demo on steam. I think it’s the game closest to your list I’m aware of. In terms of slightly different 3D platformers that MAY be to your taste: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a step away from the others in your list in terms of movement styles, as a spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio, but is a proper 3D platformer, and the music is really good. Exploring each new area is the primary gameplay loop, with some limited combat that isn’t really the focus. Mirror’s Edge is a first person platformer with focus on going fast. The movement is surprisingly good for a first person game, and I’ve enjoyed going back and running time trials, as every level has a ton of very non obvious alternate routes that involve taking advantage of all your movement options (ie: wall jumping in a space you may not have realized was even an option, rather than going up stairs) Neon White is probably the furthest from what you’re looking for, but is one I’m a big fan of. Another first person platformer with short, timed stages, and ratings at the end. Killing enemies gives cards that can be used for attacks or movement. The dialogue is all extremely cringe (and deliberately so)
I’ve played Penny’s Big Breakaway. It’s well made, and I had a bit of fun with it, but it’s not what I usualy look for in a platformer. It’s a very score-based game in which just going through a level is easy but the real challenge is doing it in style, by chaining moves and racking up combos.
What was that one where you were a stationary turret shooting at UFOs flying in? At some point the turret upgrades to a helicopter. I remember playing that on win 98 or something.
I haven’t played all these but they look cool, maybe worth checking out: Pumpkin Jack, Spark the Electric Jester 3, and Sonic Robo Blast 2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
Everyone keeps mentioning autoaim, but my friends and I would play with it off or turned down since its get in the way, I guess modern cod does have stronger auto aim, but it still swings towards the general direction and you have to correct it, plus everyone has auto aim so you have to actually aim and go for headshots if you want to beat the other ppl to the punch
game dependent, on gta wed only turn autoaim off in private lobbies, games meant for it to be used, would like some auto aim free lobbies but thats not happening
Playing GTA with a controller has been insanely easier than M&KB since I switched. Not just the aim assist, but the ease of doing practically everything makes it faster and smoother. Well… Except drive-bys. No aim assist when shooting from a car and you need ALL THE BUTTONS making it awkward lol
yeah that’s the nature of controller aim. there’s a scheme called “flick stick” on steam where the right stick sets your direction instead, but i don’t know if it’s available on onter platforms.
Turn up the sensitivity and practice. I had to practice with GTA at the shooting range all the way back when I played on console.
Practice is pretty much the only way that’s gonna make playing on console/controller easier. You’ll need to be comfortable not always slamming the stick all the way in the direction you’re wanting to look, it’s a lesson I needed to learn.
Dude just give up and go back to PC. You’ll never even get close to being a fraction as good with a joystick as you are with a mouse. It is impossible for anyone to be. Joysticks just aren’t meant for shooters.
The trick to Returnal, specifically, is to turn the aim asssist to max, and then also go into Accessibility options and make the crosshair as large as possible; the aim assist works off what’s inside tye crosshairs, so if you make it the size of the whole screen, you can’t really miss.
Control you just gotta be good. It’s aim assist fucking sucks. But that’s for the Service Weapon; you really should be meleeing and using telekinesis as your main damage output, and those do get a good aim assist.
Horizon also has great melee and aim assist, tho it’s aim assist doesn’t move the xhair onto things, it moves your arrows toward the target instead. Just keep the circle near enough to what you want to hit.
Also: Hella games support M&KB on PS5 and the PS5 now supports a heap of peripherials. Even my shit-ass Logitech K140 set works if I plug the wireless dongle into the PS5 when it did not work when I got the PS5.
Edit: Oh, also many games on the console have the option to use the gyro controls to aim. That can be a big help for some.
Emulators have reignited my interest in gaming. So many modded games and newly translated classics. Bujingai for PS2 is a really interesting platformer and playing the Shinobi games as well.
I love these posts and don’t mean to complain but atleast for me it seems every image except the initial one is broken. It’s only able to load the first image.
Shit. It must have been my client. I was using my phone to make last night’s post instead of the usual website. Thanks for catching that! I’ll have to fix it here in a bit
I'm happy with playing the Game Boy Color versions of the games (and King's Bounty on Gen/MD). Though I have to admit that Enroth is my least favorite M&M world. I still love Xeen.
Was Xeen the M&M setting with the explicit science-fantasy inclination? I’ve never played any of the straight RPGs, but I’ve trundled through enough wikis to discover some bonkers concepts in those games. Like, one ends with your party fighting through a dungeon only to discover that the dungeon is actually a buried space ship or something like that?
Yup, it's very clearly science-fantasy. Not just a buried space ship (there's another one in either 6 or 7 on Enroth). Xeen is a flat world with two sides - The Clouds and the Darkside. It was launched by the Ancients and there are two AIs / robots who are the real power players in the plot, even though they aren't as prominent.
