Tough choice but I’m reluctantly picking World. It’s probably because as a kid I had a NES, but never a SNES, so all my SMW play was at friends or the demo kiosk at the store.
Not until I was a 20something when I traded a used motherboard for an old SNES and played the shit out of it.
The Best Buy demo kiosks added an absurd amount of shine to unworthy consoles. I’m still waiting on my $800 3D0. It can’t suck if it’s that expensive!? I played the Road Rash demo, mind you!
Sears is the one I remember using the most. My parents would let me hang out in the all but abandoned video game section while they bought a lawnmower, some pants or maybe a frying pan.
I definitely remember the lawnmowers. The pants. The apparently orgasmic tools. But I don’t think mine had a kiosk. Honestly, I probably spent more time at neck-breaking Walmart kiosks than at any other.
That one was my favorite because I don’t think many knew it was there, the section was always empty, and in the years they had it, the thing kept working unlike all the other stores…
3 is my favorite of the two, but World was objectively better in terms of mechanics and overall design. Still, I’ll always play 3 if given the choice between them.
I was part of a free company in FFXIV that had a wonderful group of people. Very welcoming and incredibly fun to talk to. They were actually where I got a lot of ideas for my writing. They were an openly gay group and I’m not gay but I didn’t care, they were still fun to be around. But, when I joined the discord server, that’s when I found out how ‘open’ they really were. Channels about meeting each other, posting dick pics, wow. I read a whole comment thread about one of the guild members meeting with the leader for some fun irl.
The regular PS4 controller works fine. Works well in steam, lutris, retroarch and the few native games I own, never had any (unsolvable) problems with it.
I’ve got it working but, unfortunately, when wireless the controller has unacceptable input lag. Might be something interfering with the bluetooth signal, I don’t know.
Gamesir Cyclone 2 has been such a premium experience. Clicky nice feeling buttons, hall effect joysticks with smooth rims, shoulder buttons can be set to hair triggers, Bluetooth or dongle, metal charging stand, customisable back buttons. It’s been such a luxury gaming experience at a relatively budget price (currently going for £48).
Hast thou considered: while holding an item, hold up on the D-pad, then release B, then jump up in front of a climbable surface like a vine or a fence and hold B in time to catch the item. Now you’re climbing with the item.
I personally prefer SMB3 because the controls feel tighter, where SMW sometimes feels “floaty”. But it’s a subtle difference. SMW gives you way more content, but not all of it is as good or as well-designed as the levels from SMB3 (though again, the difference is subtle.)
Mario Sunshine’s level design was not as well structured, but it had a lot of really interesting content. SMB3, SMW, and Mario 64 are my top 3 Mario games, but I can’t decide the order.
Sunshine was rushed and it shows. I played it contemporaneously but never got terribly far.
I played it a couple years ago all the way through when I got my Steam Deck and it had a ton of rough edges. It was a bit of a struggle to get through.
Honestly something in the style of X, or, even better, Zero minus the screen crunch and low quality audio of the gba, would put joy in my heart. Still holding out hope the fan game megaman x corrupted comes out ever
I liked the game when I played it and I never saw the Haytham twist coming either, I mean until the reveal it themselves. Also don’t remember that sign on his back.
I don’t think I have the stamina for these games anymore. I played Black Flag a few years back but didn’t like it and Black Flag is considered one of the best AC game by everyone.
Yeah, I definitely get that with the stamina. They’re long sometimes. The amount of collectibles they put in don’t help at all either.
I think also my library size makes it hard for me to stick with it. When i was younger i only had like 3 games for the PS3, so my options were kind of limited. I think more options has made it hard to stick to game over the years (plus, life now definitely steals a lot of time)
I guess large library size can be a contributing factor too. I have tons of games in my backlog and not enough time, so prefer shorter and tighter experiences, which can sometimes be difficult since my favourite genre is RPG, but I have lost interest in games that doesn’t respect your time, which is most open world games.
There are always exceptions though, just got a Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima few months back. Though I think that only happened cause a friend of mine was also playing at the same time, so discussing the things he has done or I have done kept the interest going for much longer.
I do agree with you. There’s just too many games that don’t respect the players time. Though, i guess i don’t really have much room to speak while playing a Ubisoft game (they’re the worst about that, especially now).
Speaking of Ghost of Tsushima i’ve been wanting to get the PC version. I borrowed the PS4 version from my local library and played through the whole thing in like 2022 which was fun. Maybe with the next sale. Playing back to back with friends makes games more fun too. Occasionally i’ll go back and visit older Pokemon games with friends and we’ll get this whole little ecosystem setup for trading and stuff.
