@Megaman_EXE Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an absolute masterpiece in it's genre, the next 3 scariest games I've played pale in comparison to it, and all of them are also by Frictional Games. Frictional is an A+++ studio.
I really liked Amnesia when it was first released. Also, penumbra is really good, too. I always recommend them to people! I think maybe I’ve desensitized myself to frictional games development style because I don’t tend to find their games scary anymore. Their latest game did have me tense for a bit, but it quickly wore off as I got used to it :(
I’m chasing that high of getting scared haha. I’m not sure what to do. I figure at this point I just need to play everything I can get my hands on
We met Reggie, who’s about kicking ass and taking names.
And the DS is revealed…and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa
I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.
The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn’t even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!
The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.
And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!
Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.
I still play my 3DS on bus trips all the time, and trying to find people IRL who recognise it. There aren’t many here.
By far my favourite console ever, if DS and GBA libraries (and ease of modding) are included. I didn’t even get through the most recommended games, let alone the obscure ones (like an Atelier-like game made by the Etrian Odyssey devs, Nora and the Time Studio I think, it was weird but interesting if somebody wants to try)
Don’t actually care for the 3D effect by now, but I’m happy it’s there, if only for showing off to people. Fire Emblem feels made for dual screens, and EO was literally so - I’m hoping they’ll manage without them. Besides that, mostly just good game library.
3ds might be my favorite system, I really want a third party emulation machine that can capture that form factor so bad. It was just so easy to pop it open and play whatever I was playing and just close the lid. So many hours lost in the monster hunter, pokemon and picross 3d
I’m really hoping someone will step up once the second-hand sales start going up, though it might be hard to emulate the 3ds itself on a small handheld like that.
The demand should be higher compared to other systems you can easily experience on PC or even Switch emulation.
Did anyone play the Blair witch game? I didn’t find it too scary, but the woods in that game are phenomenal. I thought they did a great job with making it feel like you were actually in a forest.
I loved my DS the best of any non-PC handheld I have owned.
Final Fantasy 3 took up many many hours on car rides. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin is an all-time banger of a game, glad it finally got republished in a collection.
The first game I got on DS was Super Mario 64 DS, which, on top of having one of the finest minigame collections of any handheld game and being able to do single-card multi-player via download play, was a fine adaptation of one of the greatest platformer games ever made.
Brain Age and its offshoots spawned a whole cottage industry. Really, the DS was one of the first widely owned devices that had a decently reliable touch screen, so it got used for a lot of non-gaming stuff in addition to having such a huge library of games.
Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the best of the classic top-down JRPG style Pokemon games IMO, so the DS also gets credit for having the peak of those games.
The original DS was also home to some of the best point and click adventure games of its era, like 999. This was before Telltale really took off with The Walking Dead, Batman, etc and the genre was mostly dead in the west at the time, so when some quirky Japanese point and click escape room/mystery games dropped it really was incredibly refreshing at the time. Those games still hold up IMO.
When the 3DS came out, I was a little disappointed by the StreetPass features. I live in a fairly rural area so I would only get to play Mii Adventure or whatever it was called when I would go into a city for a convention or something similar where you knew a large concentration of nerds was going to exist. I suppose it makes more sense in Japan with their higher population density. Regardless, the 3DS’ Gamecube-tier graphics, nicer buttons, better screen, and control stick all make it a superior machine to the DS in every iteration.
It’s really just a shame that Nintendo used the 3DS naming scheme. Like with the WiiU it led to consumer confusion where parents assumed it was just an upgrade on the original and not a whole new console generation. The naming implied it was just the next model after the DSi-XL and that all it added was 3D, rather than being Nintendo’s first properly online handheld and having a generational leap in raw power.
If I were going to buy a dual-screened handheld today, I’d probably go for the AYANEO Flip DS, which seems to be basically a next-gen Steam Deck but with the DS form factor. That said, it’s pretty pricey.
Completely unique and very difficult to experience with alternative hardware nowadays (compared to the PSP which can be played on nearly everything). The games library is incredibly unique because small budget games still had a big chance to succeed.
