I seriously recommend checking out Celeste if you’re into platformers with the difficulty of dark souls. The main game is completable in 8-10 hours, but theres about 2-3 times more content in that game. There is also a speedrunning and a modding community.
I’ve heard so much about Celeste and have never gotten around to checking it out, so I was really pleased to see it coming to Gamepass, I’m going to have to try it.
Something about Celeste is truly rewarding. You’re very right about the challenge being fair, and I think that’s what does it. It’s definitely tough, but not unreasonably so. It’s so worth it.
Edit: replied to the wrong comment, but my point still stands haha
That game stands out in so many unique ways. The story is emotionally mature, the challenge is very tough but very fair, and the soundtrack by Lena Raine is gorgeous
It’s hard but the levels are one screen long and you restart instantly on death (or after pressing a button). So you don’t have to replay lots of stuff and you don’t lose any progress. I don’t like Dark Souls but I loved Celeste.
Honestly, I think am close to done with game pass. The games on it are fine, they are acceptable. But the fact that I can’t play them on linux/steam deck and the fact they go away. I’d probably just rather sub to humble monthly or such.
Starfield and Forza Motorsport are coming to Game Pass on day 1. Both pretty solid reasons to stick around (or at least resub in a month or two) IMHO.
But the real trick is to keep an eye on Slickdeals. I got three years of Game Pass Ultimate for like $120 or something like that a little while back. Game Pass is so much better when it’s a fraction of the normal price! 🙃
You don’t own those games though. You can’t play them on any device you want to. I got kids so I’m wanting them to play these games in a few years. I’d rather just pick up starfield if it’s good. Forza doesn’t interest me at all.
I had that key organizer, loved it that you can expand in case you got more keys but they can get bulky quick. I gave it to someone who had more keys than mine since i wanted to try an offbrand (clone) since the keysmart started becoming mainstream brand.
It provides a much better grip and the curve give it a lot more leverage. I’ve been surprised at how much more effective it is than straight bars of a similar size. (This one was made by Teale Designs on Etsy.)
Do you prefer it to older champion-less Quake games? And what do you think it would take for this brand of FPS to have mainstream appeal again, if anything, given that others have tried to bring them back with little success?
I do prefer it to the older ones personally, but Diabotical and QLive are great too (haven’t tried the rest).
There’s endless debate about what could make it popular again. I suspect it needs a substantial advertising budget and, unlike QC, to launch in a finished state. QC fell victim to the modern trend of releasing a 1/2 finished game and improving it slowly over time (much like Cyberpunk, BF2042, etc).
I had a Q3 server running for a while that I’d hop in and out of. It was funny knowing that it had bots on it just endlessly fighting each other. I miss the Instagib and Urban Terror days.
I love Quake and have for years but it’s definitely sad to see how barren the franchise has become and the ways that QuakeCon has changed from what it once was
