I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck
I always tought it was standard for pc players to have at least 1 emulator installed, usually Retroarch or Emulation Station.
But since you are willing to give them a shot, try Metroid Fusion too, I admit it’s heavily on rails, but it feels fun and the movement is improved over Super Metroid.
There is a patch to make Super Metroid behave somewhat like MF, but I think playing it vanilla first is fun on it’s own.
Yes. At least I didn’t hit any roadblocks like in Hollowknight where a lot of patience and concentration was required to beat certain bosses and not lose your sanity on the ridiculously long ways to the arena.
The only one I’ve played is Dead Cells, and it’s fantastic. I haven’t even bought any of the DLC, the base game is already endlessly replayable. I also listen to the soundtrack at least once a week.
I definitely want to get around to playing Hollow Knight and Animal Well at some point.
I’ve always thought it was both. I’m definitely no expert on Metroidvanias, since I’ve only played the one (if Dead Cells counts as one). I actually thought the term “Metroidvania” was about the movement and combat – today I just learned that it’s about the exploration and finding things. You do at least have to do that in the bank level, if I remember right. And the castle level.
There are also areas you can’t access until you have beaten a specific boss which gives you exploration abilities for future runs (ground pound, grow vines)
It does have metroidvania aspects, for sure. But if its the only “metroidvania game” you’ve played, then you haven’t really played any metroidvania games, in my opinion.
It must have been me hoping that cortana would reprise her role in 3… aside from odst and seemingly reach, the only thing I remember is how much of a slog the cortana hallucinations or whatever that was and the didact part being somehow even less enjoyable
Whoa, 3 and ODST absolutely rule, and Reach is great if you aren’t a purist. Especially Reach’s forge mode, that shit was the bee’s knees back in the day
I wasn’t inlcuding odst, and was reach the one that opens in a helicopter with the invisible elite on the ground? Those get a pass. None of the numbered releases after 2 did it for me though
Man, I haven’t imported many games but that game and its sequel were some of the best gaming purchases I ever made.
Really tried to get into Osu (even looked into some of those digital drawing boards artists use, just to try to make it feel like the original) but to me the game just isn’t anywhere near the same without a stylus and a resistive touch screen - two things which are outdated tech now - so I don’t think I’ll ever get something that really recaptures it. I’m glad that the basic gameplay is still being kept alive though, even though what I really want I can never have.
I’ve been a member of a 30+ gaming community for over 6 years now. There’s a lot of great people and you’ll find groups playing various games each night. We even have an active sim racing group that’s finishing up another race season on iRacing. It’s a discord community and if you’re interested, there’s a website you can apply. Over 30 Clan
I think it’s a neat thing but I actually hate how you need to integrate with discord to be considered. Joining a discord is one thing but I am so anti mixing services and avoid it if possible.
Is there an alternative to be involved without linking my discord account?
Unfortunately the community is entirely based around discord. They do a bit of screening to avoid people with lots of Steam bans, people under 30, or anyone who looks like they’d be toxic to the community. All applications are voted on by the community. It’s also a 501c non profit organization. I honestly haven’t had one negative experience with the community. I left all traditional forms of social media other than Lemmy and this discord community. Both have been fairly positive outlets in my life that I hope continue to grow and thrive.
Just skimming their website, they sound awesome. But then I saw they focus on online gaming. That explains the rigid recruitment. I play single-player games. They don’t have anything for me. But it looks neat for those who play those games.
(I’m not the guy you’ve been talking to, I just happened in here, in case you see me in the message centre, wouldn’t want it to be confusing.)
I posted because I’m looking for adults to play games with. Most of the games I play are single player, but there are a few that are multiplayer that I’d like to play with other people, and most randoms you find in lobbies or in related Discords are children or just too young for me to personally relate to, so I don’t really want to play with them.
I started playing ARC Raiders recently , and I only have one friend to play with, so I’ve been mostly playing solo.
I’m getting to the point where I’m not afraid of most robots, but I haven’t been part of any PVP yet that wasn’t just me dying before I knew who killed me. I want to explore the new map, but it’s heavily PVP-oriented, so going in with a full squad is going to be more interesting.
It’s a lot of fun with an entire group in Voice Chat. I normally shy away from PVP but so far this has felt great. It’s a nice mix of mainly PVE with occasional bursts of PVP
Well, there was a big fight between BTMC and xQc. It was a massive event (relatively speaking), so that’s why everything happened so quickly and immediately always. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some people used bots to help out, but I know that most were real people who just sat there and waited for another pixel.
They were a pretty active community, and the first to develop the browser extension that helped you colour each pixel correctly. Then everyone used it. Idk, they were heavily attacked from all fronts because weeb. I don’t think they were botting. There were plenty way more complex projects that finished way too fast for them not to be botted for you to hate the OSU! community that much.
I always cry internally when somebody doesn’t like the DS and 3DS gimmicks :(
Thanks to you guys we all will only have Steam Deck clones as handhelds from now on! /s
To be honest I think most of the people that don’t like the touch gimmicks are emulating… But I have heard people with stock hardware complaining too :/
The DS is quite literally the only system that I ever sold going as far back as the Atari 2600. I hate, hate , hate how they forced the touch screen gimmicks for it in games that it didn’t belong. It was the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding game in Dawn of Sorrow. It ruined all of the Zelda games made directly for the system IMO.
Yeah, the continued support and extra modes made me so happy to be an early supporter. I also like the more original NES style games of the series and I am very excited for the sequel.
Looked this up. Can’t believe Record of Lodoss War got a game in 2021. I remember watching the 1990 anime on Toonami’s online-only list of anime at the time, along with Harlock Saga. Both old school AF.
