Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.
It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.
I only accept the 1989 Nintendo version of Tetris as “Tetris.” Anything else is incorrect.
That said, there was a flash game in the early 2000s called Supertris that was amazing and held global high score lists. I played the shit out of that.
I would love to get an audio player on my old Powkiddy V90. It sucks as a gaming handheld. But it’s small, has a headphone jack, and a physical volume wheel. That would be awesome.
Played through the Nioh 3 Demo. It seems fine, a lot of changes from the previous games (especially if you compare Nioh 1 to 2, which is mostly the same game), that need some time to get used to.
My main problem with the game right now is the price. 80€ is just far too much, even if I’d probably put hundreds of hours into the game (if the first two are anything to go by). I’ll either wait for it to get cheaper or get it from a key reseller, not sure yet.
Then, I’m deep into Act 3 in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. At this point combat is mostly trivial, although I just completed a dungeon/area that was just a massive slog with overtuned enemies (Blackwater) that made me question my life choices. Nothing new for this series, Kingmaker had similar balancing issues (basically the last third of the game). Still having fun most of the time.
Last third of Kingmaker really soured me on Owlcat and has made me postpone WotR indefinitely. Shame to hear some of the same issues appearing again in it. How does it compare otherwise? I am also somewhat hesitant about the epic setting and godslaying type of story compared to the more grounded Kingmaker. Is the writing good?
The last console I owned was a PS3, and I don’t plan on ever having another. Sony thankfully mostly got with the program and released a bunch of their stuff on PC, but Bloodborne remains a standout.
Emulating bloodborne is really good now. It is 100% playable with rare minor bugs now. Highly recommend playing it. It’s the best souls orne out there. Imo
So I will be honest and say I have a beefy computer. Intel i9 13900k and a 4090. But I run it at 1440p at 60fps. I see people playing it on the steam deck but I haven’t tried that myself.
I can’t seem to find any trace of it now, but I had a version of Tetris on Macintosh back in the early 90s that I swear was just called “Annoying Tetris.” It would insult your moves with sarcastic comments via audio samples as you played. When you died it would play a sample of Bill Paxton saying “Game Over, man! Game over!” from Aliens.
Depends on how strict we’re being with “version of Tetris”. If we’re talking loosely about falling block puzzle games, then my favorite one is Attactics. It’s part of UFO50.
Instead of four-block clusters, Attactics uses individual blocks that represent different types of troops, each one with a unique ability. And instead of falling from the top of the screen towards the bottom, they move from the left of the screen towards the right. And instead of forming complete lines in order to score points, they clash against the enemy’s troops and attempt to make it to their fortress on the other side of the map.
Looking at Attactics on its own, it looks like a fast-paced simplified strategy game. But when you get your hands on the game, it becomes clear that it shares a lot in common with Tetris.
I remember that every single edition changed the cheat codes. Titanium Edition was my favorite as a kid for making them all short and easy to remember.
Also, there’s MechVM for an open-source engine remake that works on modern systems.
I'm about 40 jours deep into "Star Rupture", a pretty fun factory builder / survival / tower defense game that was recently released in early access. I really like it so far.
