Oryx at the end of the Destiny Taken King expansion. Walking down this dark passageway and his symbol appears in light in front of you and the door opens to reveal him. So epic!
Earthbound (SNES) - Kids-on-bikes fight aliens and meet cryptids in a quest to stop a cosmic horror in a JRPG set in suburban America. It’s weird, wonderful, musical, and sometimes startlingly heartfelt. Not too grindy as JRPGs go, but keep the 2x fast,forward button handy anyway.
Chrono Trigger (SNES) - Another must-play. It’s a time-travelling fantasy JRPG with one of the best OSTs ever made. While playing it, I had an existential crisis realizing I’d never run a D&D campaign this cool.
Metroid Fusion (GBA) - A metroidvania (duh) set in an infested space station, where an injured Samus races to arm herself against an unknown enemy. It manages to feel desperate, claustrophobic, and fast-paced, which – hot take – I feel is rare for the genre.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA) - A self-indulgent pick for me, as I imprinted on this short-but-sweet game at an early age. It’s the last isometric Zelda and a swansong to the genre. The central gimmick, shrinking Link to the size of a mouse, gives the pixel artists the rare chance to show environments in lush, up-close detail that makes the world spring to life. Also: Ezlo sounds like Danny Devito. That is all.
Yeah I lowered the difficulty on some occasions during the game, the Rat King was one of them. The difficulty spikes were pretty rough, I wonder if this was intentional.
I also had fun discovering the tabletop game. I enjoyed looking at other people’s homes in general.
This is exactly how Eric Barone felt, despite knowing in his heart that he had made something special to him. This is how he thought Stardew Valley would he received. The general gaming community are such cunts.
The reason is, the people who like to leave reviews are cunts. Source: I hardly ever review anything, because I'm not a cunt. When I do review, it's to a small busines (buzzword alert), and it's always because the service was excellent.
I’m fairly sure every Battlefield game until BF3 had LAN and private servers, so it ought to work, yes. Bad Company 1 never got a PC version, so you’re at the mercy of what those consoles allowed for, but Bad Company 2 is on PC.
I bought it heavily discounted and knowing it got bad reviews and still felt like I got ripped off. The reviews I read did not do justice to just how bad the shooting feels and how terrible the level design is.
Sounds like something that wouldn’t be too hard to do, given that Plex (and others like it) exists. The difference is, Plex is streaming.
So with a good network, you can just send the game and do the emulation client side, and sync the save and other data back to the server. With a powerful enough host, you can handle the emulation on the host machine and just stream the video, with the client streaming the controls back, but this wouldn’t be good for a lot of games (too much latency). Same issue as GeForce NOW. Good if you’re near their CDN; otherwise, useless.
Look into Moonlight… or GeForce Now (and Google Stadia for the five minutes before Google realized it was a good product and killed it). Game streaming is more than solved. The issue is more just having “a powerful enough host” than anything else.
And, in hindsight, it really makes a lot of sense. The vast majority of the cost is video streaming and… youtube and twitch exist. Hell, the entire white collar world ran on video teleconferencing for a year. All that is left is sending what amounts to text back and forth since controller inputs aren’t actually that complex.
