morphballganon,

I guess you forgot about the Wii remote turning being too slow for fighting the hive queen

morphballganon,

Nope, you’re not the only one. The Wii port of Prime wasn’t as well-tested as the original.

morphballganon,

Halo is more “figuring out how to defeat this room of enemies IS the puzzle” whereas Metroid’s puzzles are platforming and figuring out how to apply this new item to the areas you’ve already visited, and there just happen to also be enemies to fight.

morphballganon,

I maxed it out and it was still slower than the GCN stick let you turn. Beating the bee boss thus relied on luck where it shouldn’t.

morphballganon,

Oh of course, anything else was unplayable

morphballganon,

Agreed but what does that have to do with a work created by a team of hundreds of people?

morphballganon,

Oohhh Sirius would be the best choice I think, so it can go on after James’s death and you can confront Peter at the end

morphballganon,

So, you’re just going to ignore the hundreds of game makers who worked on the game and don’t share her views?

morphballganon,

Where does the money flow, bud?

A lot of people. Artists, programmers, voice actors, designers etc. So what if some fraction goes to a bigot? I’m not allowing her to live rent-free in my head and control my purchases like you are.

morphballganon,

My replies aren’t for the troll’s benefit, but to give context to undecided lurkers.

morphballganon,

Being a lurker and being a troll are mutually exclusive. When you start being a troll, you are no longer a lurker.

morphballganon,

Sounds more like an “easy mode” thing. Have certain enemies immune to certain guns on the harder difficulties. Want to just use the shotgun? Play easy mode. Want to be more strategic? Play a harder difficulty.

morphballganon,

Did they ever fix the stick sensitivity issue?

morphballganon,

Cartridges actually have much faster load times than discs. Notice how the Switch has reverted back to cartridges? They’re faster.

As for the controller… It is pretty odd. Though, at the time, we didn’t have the same standard for controller design we have now. So it makes sense that Nintendo would try something bold. Then after they had committed to the design, the world decided the PS1 controller made much more sense, and that became the benchmark for future controller designs.

morphballganon,

How about first we charge the real people doing real war crimes, e.g., Netanyahu and Putin? Then we can talk about whether mashing buttons is comparable.

morphballganon,

Yeah, I was considering listing Bush Jr, but then it would have felt weird leaving the others out, and I didn’t feel like listing them all.

morphballganon,

Per use.

I strongly prefer 0 seconds.

morphballganon,

Kingdom Hearts?

morphballganon,

Wish there was another one of those. It was a little too short and simple.

morphballganon,

I thought Twinrova was decent and not “easily” beat by Dark Link. The shield absorption thing was more interesting than “just switch to the hammer and Din’s Fire.”

morphballganon,

It’s “harmless” in the sense that ads are “harmless” which is to say it’s a deliberate waste of my time, and thus vile.

morphballganon,

Comma police? This comment right here ^

Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape (www.gamespot.com) angielski

I don’t think big companies know how to make a good FPS campaign anymore, let alone hone in on classic deathmatch multiplayer. The last FPS I bought was Half-Life: Alyx four years ago, and the first one to come along and interest me since then was Phantom Fury, but I’m letting that one iron out bugs for a few weeks before I...

morphballganon,

Kinda funny that a larger team with better tech struggles to recreate what a smaller team with more limited tech did 25 years ago

morphballganon,

There’s much precedent for that kind of feature in other games. Why should having online in a PD reboot be any harder than Halo, CoD, Fortnite etc?

morphballganon,

No, if I had assumed that, it would be baffling, not funny.

morphballganon,

Yeesh, that article name font is horrible

morphballganon,

Could you (or someone) elaborate on that first point there?

morphballganon,

So, it’s the lack of admin rights? Inability to decide your own sitewide TOS, lack of privacy from Discord admins, possibility of getting shut down, that’s what they meant?

(I’m not familiar with those other platforms)

morphballganon,

So the worry is of a surveillance state?

morphballganon,

You must have played the remake of SS. The original has its merits, but polished it ain’t.

morphballganon,

I’ve sunk more time into TotK than any of the others. I have nostalgia for OoT, TWW and TP, but their gameplay don’t hold up to BotW or TotK if you take off the nostalgia glasses.

Might replay BotW at some point.

Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like

I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.

Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!

There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

@games

morphballganon,

The pots and stone walls look the most derivative. I’d tweak those to look less-Zelda-like

morphballganon,

Is that a massive pubic mound or a massive dick? On the left

morphballganon,

I think it’s

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence

Looking for emotional game recommendations angielski

My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters....

morphballganon,

Seconded. Very emotional, and many kinds of emotions.

morphballganon,

I immediately thought of Arise: A Simple Story.

There’s no dialogue, but the imagery and soundtrack are very powerful.

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world) angielski

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

morphballganon, (edited )

I replaced my Joycon stick with a hall effect stick. Now it just drifts in a different direction, and I can’t run full speed to the left anymore.

CORRECTION: I had to calibrate it. Now it works great!

morphballganon,

What do you mean by recalibrate?

morphballganon,

I had no idea this was a thing, so thank you!

What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3? angielski

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I’d check out a let’s play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn’t...

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend? angielski

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

morphballganon,

Switch?

AC New Horizons Cult of the Lamb My Time at Portia

morphballganon,

I’ve heard Sandrock is far better on PC than on Switch fwiw

morphballganon,

This is what happens when the people who make decisions are not the people impacted by those decisions.

So you prefer playing as another gender? (quanticfoundry.com) angielski

Well, as a guy, I’ve been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I’m forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there’s romance in a game, I’ll also take the F/F route....

morphballganon,

Cishet guy. Most male protagonists are too brutish. They look dumb. Female protagonists seldom have that issue.

morphballganon,

Tons of people worked on the game who aren’t bigots. Artists, programmers, designers etc. Buying the game supports them, too.

Also, someone decided to make the owner of the Three Broomsticks trans.

morphballganon,

Zelda has tighter gameplay and holds your attention longer.

HL is decent.

morphballganon,

I don’t care for JK. But JK didn’t make the game. Hundreds of designers, artists and programmers did. And you think those people should be boycotted because one person is a TERF.
