brsrklf, do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

I had tried a few times before, but the first time I actually completed Metroid 1 was just after its remake, Zero Mission. The original game was included (also as a bonus in one of the Metroid Prime).

The thing is, the map structure is the same (just with extra levels, more puzzles and ability gating). Power-ups and bosses that already existed in 1 are at the exact same spots. Helps a lot if you can just remember where important stuff is supposed to be.

Yeah, the maze with button platforms is catacombs, that was definitely the one that had me stuck the longest time. Partly because of the maze-like structure and partly because it relies on a few climbable walls that are a lot less obvious than the usual and a very missable teleport tile.

There’s also plenty of places especially in treetop village where I was like “how the fuck am I supposed to go there?”. Turns out none of them is really necessary (and some might just not be normally accessible, even though they have items?) but that’s still confusing.

And even though I didn’t get lost too bad in it, Final confrontation surprised me. From the name I went into it expecting maybe a short level and the boss fight. That thing took forever to go through. I even had multiple moments where I was like, “lots of ammo, music is becoming ominous, here we are, boss fight”… And… No. Just another room full of enemies.

I am not really seeing it. I did finish it without a guide back then. It was the Windows 9x port, but I don’t think it changes much.

Really in my case a guide would not help for the hardest parts, which were mostly the crazy moves needed to push those floating things to break rocks and to swim against currents with boulders.

I got certainly the most lost I’ve ever been in a game in a Daggerfall dungeon, trying desperately to find the tiny wall tag that’s supposed to be the exit.

Those are torture.

I’ve just finished Turok for the first time. Some of these levels are absurd.

brsrklf, (edited ) do games w Ace Attorney became a hit IP only because Capcom pushed past the “failure” of first game, according to former dev

They weren’t nearly so patient with Okami around that time. They barely communicated around it, killed the studio, then commissioned a port they…barely communicated around again, and then they complained the game was doomed to be a commercial failure because… I don’t know.

It’s basically like one of the better classic Legend of Zelda games, only with a unique universe and charm and about twice the size of those.

It was criminally overlooked on PS2, but they have zero excuse for not turning it into a major hit for the Wii. One of the best game on a console with an absurd install base and that had almost no competition for it at that point.

Oh shit. I probably would have thought that site didn’t work and I would have given up immediately if I hadn’t read that comment.

I think I both love and hate that.

brsrklf, do games w Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST

Gacha and lootboxes (similar in concept) tend to be the worst of predatory microtransactions because they exploit gambling addictions.

“Classic” microtansactions, like freaking Oblivion horse armor, skins, etc, are bad, but you buy them once and you know exactly what you’re getting.

With gacha and lootboxes you buy a lottery ticket hoping to get something good. They use rush-inducing casino-style tricks to get you hooked. They obfuscate your real odds and how much you’re spending as much as they can.

Nintendo games do that a lot. Most Mario games (some of them in Charles Martinet’s voice), StarFox, Metroid (with occasional thumbs-up/waving at player), F-Zero…

brsrklf, do games w Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it?

I am against all game design patents in general. You shouldn’t be able to file a patent on game mechanics, like no movie director could have filed a patent on, say, the idea of sequence shot.

Game content (art, characters, etc) is already protected by copyright. Patents have absolutely no business in this.

brsrklf, (edited ) do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

You’d be lacking shortcuts obviously, and very rarely (mostly when you ask for it) you might be prompted to input a name for something, but almost everything else has mouse controls.

Now that I think about it, there are two keys that might be a bit inconvenient not to have, spacebar for emergency pauses (there’s a screen button but it’s harder to hit in a bind) and shift that let you queue an order instead of replacing the current one.

brsrklf, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

My random suggestions right now for stuff I like and is played with mouse would be:

  • Rimworld. Almost any top-down PC management or (not too fast paced) strategy game should work, but, I really like the crazy random shit that happens to the characters you’re slowly getting to know in Rimworld.
  • Almost any of the Zachtronics games, if you like to torture your brain. Open-ended sort-of-engineering puzzles.The bigs ones like Spacechem, Opus Magnum and Shenzhen IO in particular, last call BBS for a bit more variety inside one game. Not Infinifactory, since while it doesn’t have any kind of fast paced action it still requires navigating in 3D so mouse only wouldn’t work.

I’d heard the reason for the Xbox One was that some marketing genius noticed people were calling Xbox 360 “the 360”, and thought they would call that one… well, the One.

And then everyone laughed and went ex-bone instead.

brsrklf, do games w Balatro yet again subject to mods’ poor understanding of “gambling”

Humans are bad at probability, and that’s mostly why they gamble too.

Every wheel draw is supposed to be independent (it’s not totally so because computer “random” is really a pseudo-random algorithm, but close enough). So every time you draw, the odds are 1:4. Previous draws don’t matter.

On an infinitely large number of draws, you’d see a 1/4 success rate. This doesn’t mean you can’t fail a dozen times in a row (the probability of that is (3/4)^12, about 3%… It happens).

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

Okay, he’s German. Uh, and he’s in the army. And it’s WW2.

…Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

Nope, he’s just the new bro, here we’re all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.
