Metroid Dread left such an impression on me after playing earlier this year that I bought and modded an OG GBA with a better screen. It was fun and frustrating all at once! My first time soldering since I was a teen. I proceeded to beat Metroid Fusion for the first time despite having the cartridge for probably as long as it had been since my last time soldering. I’m now playing Prime 4, although I’m not yet sure if that qualifies as a highlight.

Besides that, I also got sucked into Hades 2. I didn’t get the true ending to the first game but I did roll credits on this one! What a game. Pokémon Unbound romhack was also on the list of time sinks, but I gotta get back to beating that.

This can’t handle 3DS titles, right? Not that it matters; my N3DS XL is still going strong

I was hoping for more than a cromulent 3D Metroid, but I’ll take it for what it sounds like it is.

Beating a debtor near to death wasn’t very Christian. I do appreciate a lot that Arthur does but that mission still haunts me. What a great story

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

The mission I’m describing is unavoidable. I won’t spoil it, but it has serious consequences for both Arthur and the plot. It’s the kind of art that really punches you in the gut.

Tying up clansmen and turning them into red mist on train tracks, feeding them to gators, or just setting them on fire sure never did get old though.

Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one

Yes, there are some pretty fun weapons in the Gears sequels. I like the torque bow.

“I understand that you like to stir up controversy, so here you go: the whistleblower, the truth seeker. This is my account, so here’s how I actually feel: you’re wrong and misinformed,” Mielgo replied. “No assets. As far as I know, Bungie accidentally used a texture, mostly typos and fonts, all lost in a wonderful massive creative pipeline.

“All this ass it was genuinely a mistake, blown out of proportion by people like you and hungry sphincter press. Regardless, to your pseudowistle, none of the text/fonts ever reached our team. The Bungie team is fantastic, and the work they did before us was f**ng outstanding. I loved working with them.”

It’s fuckin weird for a creative to act this dismissive towards IP theft, even if it was just one texture. How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah his framing is pretty trumpian which is gross even in the (doubtful) event he’s actually right. God forbid journalists do journalism and cover a company which has been caught stealing IP multiple times, and god forbid someone ask someone involved what their take was on the matter. Dumb.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Turning into? They’ve always been this way. It’s been like 20 years since they decided it was ok to install rootkits on people’s PCs to protect their IP rights.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t even think they really hid it from the console space. Their entire PS3 launch was peak hubris. They just don’t step on rakes as much as Microsoft does, and Nintendo would shoot a litter of puppies if it helped them protect their IP rights, so they look better in comparison.

I said always, I just used an example from this century. Your comment does remind me of the UMD disks and their propriety sd cards

Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

Can everyone please stop claiming and speculating that Valve’s new hardware will be loss leaders? If you watch LTT and Gamers Nexus’s first videos on the announcement, they actually spoke with Valve’s engineers. And the Valve representatives already said that the new hardware WILL NOT BE LOSS LEADERS....

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

But will the new valve hardware help fill the empty pit in my chest?

Been waiting for a competitor to the meta quest. Looks like my patience has paid off. I hope it’s not too pricey/compromised

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I appreciate the assist lol

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I still use mine. I modded it and it can play a ton of games. The Pokemon romhacks are fun

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Unbound hooked me so much I bought an OG GBA and put it on a cartridge like it’s a traditional game

$28!?!

So many good games to play lately and not enough time to play them

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] (news.xbox.com)

They’re trying to soften the blow by adding new features to each tier, but it’s still just to disguise a price hike. More games are coming to the $15 tier, but it still won’t be day and date releases. First party games come to the $15 tier “within a year”, but that’s even excluding Call of Duty.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I just bought three years of EA play and converted it into a year of gamepass last month. Seems to be the best deal left now.

My first experience with this phenomena was rollercoaster tycoon

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Feel like it’s already there

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’m with you on the price. I’d probably have one already if it was 150, which is what the GBC would cost today with inflation factored in.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

IIRC yes it can run steam games

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Microsoft seems to be throwing in the towel as far as driving people to their storefront is concerned. They’ll be putting out all their games on anything that can run them.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

They walked back the $80 price point, but I definitely agree they’re trying to figure out ways to push people to gamepass. They just keep stepping on rakes

My slop detector is going off

Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing.

Right now, I don’t have a PC. Long ago, when I did have one, the first AAA game I ever played was Red Dead Redemption 2. I have played other games, but I feel like RDR2 surpasses all of them and is legitimately one of the greatest games ever made. The amount of details dedicated to realism, the solid storyline, the amazing...

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that tedium doesn’t go away, imo. There’s a mission that seems inconsequential at the time, but has huge implications for the main character that I really didn’t want to engage with, but the story is the story, there isn’t much if any player agency.

I suggest going on the hunt for the Klan rallies that happen in one area of the map before putting it down. Incredibly satisfying killing those pricks in exotic ways.

I feel like this is all driven by MS diving full force into AI stuff. Their capex is going to be insane so they’re cutting shit left and right to keep Wall Street happy while they set cash on fire trying to make AI something more than anime profile pic generators.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.

Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Seems a foregone conclusion at this point that they’re going to brand a PC as an Xbox and allow it to run both Xbox and PC games on it. They may not even bother making the hardware themselves like they’re doing with this partnership on the “Xbox” handheld which is really just a cross branded Asus handheld.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

That game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird

Day 343 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is Some more Ocarina of Time. I made it through Dodongo’s Cavern today (and without a shield surprisingly enough, all the fire stuff there makes it almost impossible for me to complete it without a shield) and i made a stop by Zora’s domain to end of my night....

Was hoping for something halo since it’s

NOT_RICK,

Well, there’s always 686 Ebullient Prism or 2401 Penitent Tangent

Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

I regularly get blue shelled and I still smoke people. There’s still lots of strategy in the game and randomization is something that keeps games fresh. At the end of the day it’s an arcade racer, not everything has to be Gran Turismo

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

We called that game “Don’t Drink and Drive” back in college. I always just chugged mine at the beginning of the race

Considering you get better items when you’re behind, it’s a no brainer

NOT_RICK,

I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

Mark Wahlberg in the Happening. The name of the movie is fairly ironic because nothing fucking happens
