chloyster,

Same boat here 😔. I can still remember when I first heard it was officially cancelled. I’ve never been more devastated by any media being cancelled than this

chloyster,

Holy crap that’s an amazing turn of events! And they have the IP. I’m shocked tbh. Microsoft had such a beloved IP in their hands and they let it go. But I’m happier this way!

chloyster,

Favorites

  • Steam Deck
  • Analogue Pocket
  • My PC I suppose. Can do the most!

Least favorite

  • DS-i: just a lot worse than the lite imo. The camera and the few dsi downloadable games were not worth losing GBA back compat
  • PlayStation TV: had potential but was just a worse vita and mediocre streaming box.
  • Piboy: a weird raspberry pi 4 based handheld I had by a company called experimental pi. It was actually kind of cool, but they had their own custom software needed to run on the screen and they were really bad about getting fixes out, and some patches would brick the machine iirc. The company seems to be defunct now. The website is a 404 now

I kind of feel a lot of 8 bit era games haven’t aged the best. But there are a few that I love. Of course smb3 is really outstanding. That game is timeless and really showed how well Nintendo can make games. While I may personally prefer smw, smb3 was in my eyes the first to perfect the side scrolling platformer.

Mother is another game from the era I enjoy a lot. It hasnt aged as well as smb3, but it’s still a fun game to look back on. I feel the game was a bit ahead of it’s time, and with a few gameplay changes I think it would still be worth playing for any jrpg fan today

chloyster,

Lol that’s fair! Been a while since I played it without save states

chloyster,

Just for the controllers I believe

chloyster,

Yeah I think the display port plugs into the headset and that’s the picture data. The controller data is via Bluetooth

Trying to remember a video game trailer about managing a big walking living tank in a fantasy setting angielski

It’s driving me nuts that I can’t remember, but I saw this trailer that I think was posted here a couple of months ago. It had a steampunk-ish but bright fantasy aesthetic, and it was about managing this giant walking tank as it walked towards the right of the screen, going from place to place, with the occasional battle...

chloyster,

Kind of sounds like rocket slime. I looked up games like that and found this. Older than a couple months ago but maybe keeping on the trend of rocket slime like games will help you find it?

Edit: a sequel to this came out in late 2023 so maybe that’s it

[Request] Retro Recommendations angielski

I’m trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I’ve become accustomed to modern...

chloyster,

I’ll list off some of the older titles on my faves list

  • Earthbound is on there, so glad you got that one :)
  • Mother 3 (GBA)
  • Mario and Luigi superstar saga (GBA)
  • Super Mario World (SNES)
  • Super Metroid, zero mission, fusion (SNES and GBA)
  • Myst (lots of platforms these days but originally pc)
  • Resident evil 1-4 (ps1-2)
  • Kirby superstar (SNES) / Kirby superstar ultra (DS)
  • Silent Hill 1-4 (ps1-2)

I’m def missing some here. I would argue not all of these have necessarily stood the test of time if we look at it from a modern sensibility lens. Particularly resident evil 1-3 and silent hill 1 can be a bit difficult to play if you can’t get used to tank controls. And Myst can be a bit esoteric, especially the older versions.

Besides that though I really do think these have all stood the test of time. I would like to particularly shout out the original re4. Despite having a recent remake that I adore potentially more than the original, the original is still so good even to this day. It is wild to me how well it still feels to play

chloyster, (edited )

No it’s not rewritten. Mainly I just think the pre rendered picture movement of the original can be harder to explore and piece things together than the fully 3d environment of the remakes.

As for Zork, I only played a very small amount for a school assignment lol. I considered it esoteric in a way I feel all text adventures are, but I really don’t have enough experience to say.

chloyster,

You could play mother 1 for sure if it interests you, although it’s aged the worst out of the 3 in my opinion.

Sad about Mario world :( I find it to be one of the least floaty Mario games, partially due to a mechanic in the game that isn’t present on many others where the speed of your fall is controlled by holding the jump button (many games have variable height by holding the jump button, but few have it so the speed of the fall down is controllable)

As for silent hill I’d argue that they could be seen as more puzzley. There are bosses and enemies of course, but it’s not usually a constant enemy fest. In silent hill 2 (and maybe 3 I can’t quite remember) there are separate combat and puzzle difficulty settings, so you can set easy combat and hard puzzles. Of the original silent hills id recommend silent hill 2 the most. You don’t need to play any others to get it, it’s a self contained story.

chloyster,

It is! Got it commissioned. Artist’s twitter is in my bio :)

chloyster,

Yesss its such a good hack! I loved version 1.0 but 2.0 is a whole other level. No other hack touches it in terms of qol features in my opinion. And it’s endlessly replayable. Pokemon distilled down to its best bits!

chloyster,

Not on steam but you can get it drm free from their website with a native Linux version :)

from their website

chloyster,

Nice timing I just started this game up yesterday. Loving it so far and excited to keep playing!

chloyster,

Perhaps not exactly what your looking for, but there is an indie puzzle game based off picross 3d (one of my all time favorite puzzle games) that uses voxel styling

Polygon - Was Bioshock Infinite good? (www.polygon.com) angielski

Thought this was a fun article to read, wanted to share. I think it’s interesting that as societal and political views at large shift in the 2020s, it’s good to go back and reevaluate how narratives are portrayed even as recently as 2015....

chloyster,

I’m happy you decided to repost this.

An article that discusses and re-examines if a game you like is good is not a personal attack.

I encourage anyone who thinks it is indeed a good game (hey I also enjoyed it back in the day) take the time to read the article and at least respond to the content posted.

It is absolutely fine to disagree with what the article is saying. And it’s fine if you don’t want to read it. But I don’t think it’s bee-ing nice to comment that you refused to read an innocent article because you disagree with the headline and it’s source. The article was posted to discuss its contents (as the body of the post pointed out). Not whether or not polygon is worthwhile.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all ya know?

I’ll let you off with a warning this time… I’ve got my eye on you… 👁️

chloyster,

Obligatory video on what counts as a super Mario game

And the sequel

Have yet to get to the final boss… But yesterday I did Commander Gaius. That was the first time in the dlc I had no fun. That guy has some of the worst hitboxes I’ve ever seen and beating him was an absolute chore. I was on the “DLC isn’t too hard” train, and still kinda am… But he was the first time I was like, “ok I see what some people are saying”

chloyster,

I typically don’t keep the nividia or windows gaming stuff turned on. Having it built into steam will be nice, since I use their overlay a lot more. Plus steam deck support is really nice!

chloyster,

Well I suppose the issue is that not everyone sees the obscureness as a problem. I love the Myst games and quern, but I think it would be a bad idea to change the puzzles to be different. The Myst series is quite difficult to be sure, but that’s part of why I love them. I don’t think everyone needs a guide to finish, but if one does every now and then, is that really such a bad thing? For single player, whatever method of playing that gives you the most enjoyment is the correct way to play
