chloyster,

That’s true, and fair. I am optimistic though since from what I understand Arkane didn’t want to develop a multiplayer game. Sounds like this has been something remedy wanted to do

chloyster,

I have a love hate with analogue. They undoubtedly make really excellent products, and I absolutely adore my pocket. However they really lean into the fomo of their stuff. They make very few units, and you have to be ready to go when they drop more product most of the time. I will say though the price of this is a lot lower than I expected. And while you shouldn’t count on it, every analogue system has gotten some form of ability to play roms from other systems (whether it’s built into the OS (not happening for the 3D) or a “jailbreak” is released by basically an employee of analogue).

Analogue stuff is good if you have cartridges you want to play, but at this point, with the recent release of Taki Udon’s cheap Mister Pi (retroremake.co/pages/store), I think Mister is the way to go. It’s an open source project as opposed to analogue’s implementation. The issue with Mister was you needed a pretty expensive DE10 Nano board to utilize it. Now you can get one of these new boards for only $100 (if you can get your hands on them. Only 2 batches have been sold so far and they sell out quick). Plus Taki is planning on using this new board to make a handheld Mister which I’m super stoked for.

chloyster,

That’s super fair and I agree for the most part. Though it’s hard to be super enthusiastic about it when they focus on a plethora of super limited edition color ways for the pocket instead of keeping the base one in stock and completely abandoning DAC support which they promised a while ago (and recently scrubbed all mention of on their site)

chloyster,

Hell yeah good for them

chloyster,

I suppose I have to ask how linear. Like can it be mostly linear while having the chance to explore off the beaten path very briefly? Or like straight up hallway simulator.

Ive been using a site actually to rate games I’ve played so I’ll start listing some of my 5 and 4.5 star games that I would personally consider linear.

5 star games

  • Astrobot
  • Silent hill 2 (enhanced edition mod for PC, remake I’m still working through but it’s good)
  • Rayman origins
  • Mario and Luigi superstar saga (borderline linear)
  • Kingdom hearts 2 (you can pick the order of worlds at times and have the option to backtrack but not necessary
  • Mother 3
  • Re4 (og and remake both 10/10 to me)

4.5 star games

  • Chants of sennaar
  • Kirby super Star ultra
  • Halo 2
  • Rayman legends
  • WolfenStein the new order
  • Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
  • Dead Space
  • The last of us
  • the last of us 2 (has one shortish open area section)
  • Alan wake 2 (has some open exploration areas at points)
  • Celeste
  • The case of the golden idol

I could go on, and some are borderline linear, but these are my faves that mostly involve going from one moment to the next

Edit: the site I’ve been using. Feel free to check out my list of played games ordered by rating if you want more. I have a lot on there: backloggd.com/u/chloyster/games/…/type:played?pag…

chloyster,

Earthbound / mother 2 is also 5 stars for me and can definitely be played before hand. There is overlap in the antagonist and references but otherwise mother 3 takes place an incomprehensible amount of time in the future. I didn’t include earthbound since its a tiny bit more backtracky and explory but tbh it’s about as linear as m&l superstar saga so I’d def recommend it if you want to play!

chloyster,

Idk if I’d really consider it an ad for the book tbh. If anything it’s an ad for another Eurogamer article, which is an interview they did with Jason. It’s pretty common for sites like this to link to articles that have similar topics to keep you reading

chloyster,

So many… My backlog is big but I’ve been trying to work my way through it. Currently on my mind though is octopath 2, Grime, Ghost trick, Talos principal, and the trails games

chloyster,

Silent hill is one of my favorite series, and I’d argue the last time we even got a decent game was back in 2007 with origins. The drought has been unreal. I can’t believe we are finally eating good again

chloyster,

You get whats up!!! Unbelievably stoked for this

chloyster,

Good questions!

Tbh the only starting points I would recommend is the original or some version of sh2. Since it seems like this remake is really good I think it would be a great place to start!

Imo, the 2 S tier silent hill games are 2 and 3. However 3 is a direct sequel to 1 (an A tier game, only knocked down from S tier by PS1 jank) so i do think that should be played before 3.

The remake makes things a little different since it’s gameplay style will be pretty different, but my normal recommendation was:

Play 2 (PC enhanced edition preferably), if you enjoy that, then play 1 and 3. If you want more, play 4 (the last made by the original team and a good B tier game imo, but a bit different than the other 3). If you still want more, check out origins (a, imo, C tier game, the first made by not the original team but the most respectable effort of this new generation of games).

I’d say after that I personally don’t find any of them worth playing. Shattered memories isn’t my favorite but it definitely isn’t a bad game. I’d say play that again if you want! It’s more or less a very strange reimagining of sh1. An interesting game but not for me. A fine place to continue if you want more.

Homecoming and downpour are just quite bad imo. Stay away

chloyster,

I’m super happy with it so far, though I am not quite as far. I got up to Woodside apartments last night before going to bed.

Totally agree on the ambiance. They absolutely match the original and Akira Yamaoka did an amazing job in this department yet again. Also agree on the dialogue, really happy with it so far. I was worried due to how much I disliked the hd collections redone vocals but they did a good job here.

So far haven’t had much in the department of graphical glitches, though I did notice my frame rate tanked when I got to the apartments at the end of my session so I made need to tweak some settings.

Combat hasn’t bothered me but also I’m playing on standard and haven’t gotten the pistol yet so my thoughts are developing. Melee is quite satisfying in this game though imo

Agree on the steam achievements haha.

While I’m still early it does seem like they’ve grabbed the vibes straight from the original and dropped them into a modern coat of paint. And at the end of the day sh2 thrives on its vibes, so I’m very happy. Excited to keep playing

chloyster,

This is dope

chloyster,

Tbh I believe it was an error. Some of the stuff being shown was extremely old. Like “go see the new spider verse movie coming soon”

Doesn’t sound like a thing that is working correctly

chloyster,

Worth noting Google play store is having issues processing payments. So if you are unable to purchase it, this is why

chloyster,

I continue to be a little perplexed by views like this. If the game is $15 on steam, why is $10 on mobile viewed as expensive?

I understand that mobile games typically are cheaper or freemium, but I feel mobile games would be higher quality overall if people actually wanted to spend money on them

chloyster,

I mean that’s fine. Like you said you can continue to use your version that uses the steam files, that’s the version you paid for. But the game sold on another store is cheaper than the other. I don’t think that makes the game too expensive

Edit:

Also as far as I can tell from this, save transfer is supported on the side loaded version github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

chloyster,

Yeah this looked dope. I legit thought this was death stranding 2 at first. Until they started swinging a weapon lol. Definitely keeping my eye on this one

chloyster,

breathes in

Hollow knight silk song will happen I am not on copium I believe it is real I will pop off so hard when the date is announced and when it comes out I love hornet maybe you could tell by my pfp you could say I am a little excited for the game and that I love the original and I’m so excited and ahhhHHhhhhhhhHHhhhhhhhhhhhh

SHAW

:3

chloyster,

Awwww you’re too kind. Also W take for your review in this thread as well 🙏

chloyster,

Oh that’s an awesome sticker. Check out my cute hornet plush :)

chloyster,

Yooooo true!!!

elvies.itch.io/silksongdemake

chloyster,

I don’t personally feel rdr2 was padded, but it was really damn long lol. I loved it but am not complaining at the idea of this being shorter

chloyster,

Damn haha that’s definitely a way to do it. I am playing them in order, but some I am putting off beating until later. Barbuta I definitely want to come back to but I was getting frustrated. I think the snake like one that has garden in the title was the first one I beat. I think out of the first 25 I’ve beaten 6 or so?

Also I saw this tip online. You may want to start pilot quest soon, as it is kind of an idle game, and you can accrue resources while the game is off or playing the other games. It’s nice to pop to between other games to see whats built up and spend resources to get more idle stuff going

chloyster,

It really is awesome! And that’s a good idea for mapping the rooms I’ll definitely try that out. Yeah bug hunter is cool! I completed 1 job before moving on but I def want to do the 3 that give you the gold for that game at some point.

The Plucky Squire Should Have More Faith In Its Players (kotaku.com)

You see, The Plucky Squire falls prey to one of modern gaming’s most well-intentioned, but still utterly annoying, sins and overtly tutorializes everything. When it deigns to allow the player to pop out of their storybook for a 3D platforming level, the camera pans across the entirety of the stage outlining the intended path...

chloyster,

Gotta agree on UFO 50. It’s an absolutely stellar game. I’ve mostly dropped plucky squire in favor of it, although I do want to at least finish it

chloyster,

More or less. It’s like action 52 but good.

It also has a whole fake narrative tied to it. The collection is 50 games released by the company “UFO Soft,” a fake game company. Each game has little blurbs on its history. Some games have multiple entries to their series, some are one off. Others are “spiritual successors” to others. It’s a whole little universe in the game. And even though not every game so far has been for me, they are all at the least creative and interesting. And some games I absolutely adore and want to play through to the end asap. I’ve only just touched the 25th game and have ~ 15 hours. And I know some will take me a long time. There are also secrets to find outside of the 50 games. The menu has a terminal and you can find hidden codes that give God modes to games, and some provide hidden lore of the universe this game company exists in

chloyster,

I have a bit of an obsession with handheld systems. I’ve always been on the lookout for cool handhelds. Probably started with some leapfrog devices I had when I was a kid.

Some of the more interesting ones include a piboy. A raspberry pi 4 stuffed into a gameboy dmg like shell to emulate games. More recently I’ve been very into my analogue Pocket. I play a ton of stuff on that as it can accurately recreate a ton of older systems. I’m also quite interested in getting a playdate at some point, but have yet to justify it.

I also have some modded GBC and GBA systems. With USB c charging and nicer screens

chloyster,

Fair warning. If you are looking at the piboy by experimental pi, their website has been mostly down for months now. They seem to have abandoned the project :(

chloyster,

At the time, PT was the scariest thing I’d ever played. Was super obsessed with that demo.

Will never get over silent hills cancelation

chloyster,

For homebrew shooter stuff you can check out

bulletgba.pqrs.org

It’s bullet hell but pretty simple and fun

For other homebrew stuff definitely check out Apotris. One of the best Tetris clones out there.

chloyster,

Ah, yeah it might be kind of rough on an SP. You could play it normally though tbh. The menus are flipped but once you’re in the game there’s not much difference playing it flipped on its side

chloyster,

These are good spots

hh.gbdev.io

itch.io/c/3268267/all-homebrew-gba-roms

chloyster,

I think the title does a fine job explaining it isn’t to be trusted 🤷‍♀️.

But yeah for real it’s not legit. These people poached the trademark and are trying to cash in
