Fedegenerate, (edited ) do games w New guide on Ico dropped on Gamefaqs

Funnily, I just finished this game for the first time last week. Wonder what happened in our lives that it became relevant. I might use the guide for a NG+ if it tells me how to get the lightsaber.

Mine was that I got an emulation setup capable of PS2 and GameCube. I’m making a conscious effort to finish games instead of downloading 10,000 games and just staring at the menu. So I have 1 narrative game (currently Zelda Windwaker) and a few genre games (fighting, racing) that I can dip in and out of.

Ico I never played at the time, and certainly wouldn’t have enjoyed it if I played it 20 years ago. I’m still digesting it if I’m honest. I think it mostly did what it wanted, I did become protective of Yorda. But, I think I wanted to play through it quicker than it wanted me to progress, instead of pausing to absorb through the backtracking and repeat sections I just wanted them over. Maybe that’s me with the weight of all the other games I wanted to get to after Ico, or I’m not the introspective type, or it failed to get me into an introspective space I dunno.

nodimetotie,

For me, I wanted to play it for a long time, finally had the time during the holiday break. I played the Shadow of the Colossus last year, so this year it’s ICO. Pretty happy with the PCSX2 emulator.

With ICO, I think it pays off to take it slow. I actually beat it three times now, I think. On my first play through I would often just pause and let the views sink in. It felt so magical for me.

Btw, there is a pretty cool speed run of the game by sanchopanda on GDQ

I feel like Days Gone belongs in this conversation.

Ashen44,

Man I loved Days Gone. I played through the whole game and deeply enjoyed it. I’m always surprised when I hear it getting shit talked online because it was really well done in my opinion. Maybe it was launch issues or something since I played it on PC long after release.

Just finished 100%ing Sea of Stars. The combat was fun, and the general story and game play is very much so a nod to Chrono Trigger. Would absolutely recommend if you enjoy that type of game.

Just last night I downloaded and am about an hour into Dave the Diver. So far the game loop seems interesting, but im hoping it doesn’t just become a stacked chore game (so to speak).

Resident Evil Revelations 2 never gets talked about since it’s a ‘mediocre’ spinoff but i very much enjoyed it

The new Lords of the Fallen game. It was a pretty enjoyable game. There were many issues regarding online play and such, but I’ve had a great time as a soulsbourne fan.

I think Castlevania : Lords of Shadow’s IP kind of worked against it. It’s useless to non- fans of the series, and it’s jarring to those who are.

It’s like it is constantly wondering if it’s a new take on the universe, or just a whole new one with useless, random references thrown in. There are lots of people completely displaced from their original time and background, and I am not talking about the game’s big spoilery reveal, but completely random ones with no point.

One example among many : in the main series there is a character who is a 20th century German artist who tragically turned mad because he lost his family during WW2. He is “reimagined” into a random bat-faced vampire general in the 11th century. His name is just mentioned in narration before a short fight and he’s never seen again.

Despite all of that, the game is great. Mostly linear, definitely has some pacing issues, but it’s pretty good at telling its story, it’s a decent spectacle fighter, and the environments are great.

Sequels… Yeah, not so much. But I really liked the first one. I just feel the Castlevania name only set it for something it wasn’t though.

I hated Callisto Protocol because of the story so much that I quit rather than advance the narrative. When I couldn’t kill Dani Nakamura for murdering my partner and crashing my ship and locking me in her cell after I freed her, I quit. No thanks, she sucks, not interested in saving her under any circumstances.

It’s very much a gimmick. I’m 45 yrs old and was able to mess around with it at a friend’s house. It takes a lot of getting used to for it to become useful and accurate in games and will make any other game you play become a struggle. So if you ONLY play Warzone and don’t do anything else with your computer then sure go for it. You’ll need to “reprogram” your brain to use this mouse for the games you currently play and it’s really only a fun gimmick for shooting games.

IMHO: It’s just more plastic garbage and while a fun gimmick it would last about a month before becoming something you stuff in a drawer and likely never use again.

Hitman.

Fuck the always online shit, but since last time I played they added a rogue lite mode. "Just kill randomly selected NPCs on existing maps" doesn't sound mind blowing (and occasionally a level feels kind of trivial), but the "die and they're on alert, die again and start over without your gear" format combined with limited access to gear really does give a fresh, high stakes feel.

Lol. It does look great for carpal tunnel/RSI. I’d definitely buy it if it didn’t have such a 'murica gamer kiddo vibe.

Drugim dobrem jest to, by Prezydium Sejmu obradowało w taki składzie, którzy będzie najlepszy dla Sejmu.

ah, więc to o dobro sejmu chodzi, a nie o brak dobra faszyzmu.

Nie rozumiem tego pieszcenia się z Konfą. Ostatecznie nie są przcież potrzebni, niech zgniją.

Chyba o prostu chcą w ten sposób pokazać że prawica jest cały czas witana w roli marszałka a brak marszałka PiSu to wyłącznie ich wina.

Ale przecież Konfa nie straci wicemarszałka, tylko chodzi konkretnie o osobę Bosaka.

Jeśli Konfederacja zrobi cokolwiek z Brunem, to stracą pewnie posłów Konfederacji Korony Polskiej. Bez nich nie mają dość posłów do założenia / utrzymania koła parlamentarnego, a tylko te mają reprezentację w prezydium sejmu.

tak, tyle że ja się odnoszę do tego, że lewica wnioskując o odwołanie bosaka chciała kogoś innego z ich klubu na tym stanowsiku, kogoś mniej kontrowersyjnego (typu tyszka czy inny wawer), a nie chodziło stricte o wykluczenie konfy z prezydium. analogicznie do case’u witek – pis cały czas ma miejsce w prezydium, tylko nie chcą wystawić kandydata bardziej akceptowalnego dla reszty sali

There is zero point to that beyond the looks. You can get mice with better ergonomics. maybe if it had some ability to be used like a gun in fps games, it would make sense. But as just another mouse? It isn’t even a good gimmick.
