same

Isn't that what Return of the Obra Dinn is? Thoughts? Do games like this have any replay value?
― Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
only after a traumatic brain injury probably

Seems very feasible to invent a roguelite detective game
― Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link
dunno if it would be any fun though, sounds like those encyclopedia brown challenges where you should've realized that one kid was shorter than the other so he couldn't have reached the top counter except that is completely impossible to guess.

all i want is a new Wario Ware game. Or hell, ports of the old ones.

xp obra dinn is a detective game that makes you do all the detective work yourself rather than follow a fictional protagonist who solves the big picture while you're only asked to figure out individual steps e.g. ace attorney or danganronpa or most of these games really. dunno where famicom detective club lands on the spectrum but guessing the latter
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link
obra dinn is the best but you don't play it twice
― That's not really my scene (I'm 41) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:04 (three years ago) link
There's probably a right way to do it- all sorts of variables can be creatively handled. All hypothetical of course and I'm not going to task anyone with figuring it all out here. Just feels like the conditions that dictate unique "seeds" in roguelites could conceivably be applied to detective grenre if programmed cleverly.
xps

outer wilds is the former too. a 20 minute game that takes 10-20 hours of exploration/research to figure out how to beat
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link
I'm planning to replay it sometime to get the Captain Did It achievement

kinda love that, also kinda not sure if he's being a parody of Nintendo fans or actually is that angry
― Nhex, Friday, 19 February 2021 04:10 (three years ago) link
Dunkey is Josh confirmed.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 19 February 2021 11:27 (three years ago) link
I don't think he's that angry for real. Fwiw, I think his previous two videos were nothing but effusive praise for Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury, the latter of which he called his presumptive game of the year, which might have actually been serious.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 February 2021 13:54 (three years ago) link
you seem to know an awful lot about his video history, almost as if ... Andrew is on to something lol
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 19 February 2021 14:03 (three years ago) link
Almost as if I saw the latest one yesterday and thought, oh shit, I missed his last two, which were right next to it and which I watched right after, lol.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 February 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
But yes, I'm also Dunkey.

japanese people must really love those japanese rpgs
― lag∞n, Friday, 19 February 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link
They just call them "rpgs."
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 February 2021 14:51 (three years ago) link
i think japanese people all like american games now and vice versa
― ciderpress, Friday, 19 February 2021 14:52 (three years ago) link
that was supposed to be some sort of comedy joke but it came out just sounding defensive
― ciderpress, Friday, 19 February 2021 14:59 (three years ago) link
i will probably play the square triangle octagon project tbrr

surely this time they will change the name...?

Triangapath Traveler
― Evan, Friday, 19 February 2021 15:25 (three years ago) link
Looks enough like final fantasy tactics, possibly my fave game of all time, that I will likely buy it and perhaps not play it.Mario 3D world has been enjoyable but not immersive fro me. I may be broken.
― That's not really my scene (I'm 41) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 19 February 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
its not really supposed to be immersive like odyssey, its diorama style (except mauybe the new bowsers fury thing)
― ciderpress, Friday, 19 February 2021 16:42 (three years ago) link
recommend going straight into bowsers fiery maw it rules
― adam, Friday, 19 February 2021 16:55 (three years ago) link
may do that

my favorite thing in 3D World has been to play as cat suit Peach in 1-1, run to the top of the ramp near the beginning, run and jump off of it, float and then cat-dive directly into the clear pipe, then run back and do it again. kind of an immersive experience in the sense that it makes me feel like a kid at a playground
― eisimpleir (crüt), Friday, 19 February 2021 17:10 (three years ago) link
bowsers fury is pretty cool kind of a mix between 3d world and odyssey, unusual thing to make, its a small mario game that has all the qualities of a big mario game, riding the dino is super sweet

JiC, Borderlands trilogy is half off once again
― sell her Dior (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 21 February 2021 16:59 (three years ago) link
yah! the second two are $13 on PS4 right now, but I might as well get all three for $25.

i bought a much needed pro controller and i am living
― eisimpleir (crüt), Monday, 15 March 2021 22:56 (three years ago) link
my hands are filled with joy from being able to d-pad again
― eisimpleir (crüt), Monday, 15 March 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link
dammit, i need to buy a much needed pro controller too. shit's expensive though
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 March 2021 23:25 (three years ago) link
Best battery life ever.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
KM I urge you to consider the 8bitdo Sn30 Pro+ Controller it is incredible and maybe better than the Nintendo pro controller which I also have and love. And it is cheaper. Battery life has been great.
― Evan, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 11:14 (three years ago) link
might want to hold off on that as they just announced the 8BitDo Pro 2, adds two paddle buttons and 3 switchable profiles for the same pricehttps://www.engadget.com/8-bitdo-pro-2-controller-150048045.html?guccounter=1
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Tuesday, 16 March 2021 11:50 (three years ago) link
does the 8bitdo have gyro aim? thats a major consideration if youre planning to play like splatoon or any other shooters. otherwise yeah i've heard good things
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
the pro+ does, afaik the only downsides next to the pro is no scanner and no turning the console on remotely. the upside is analogue sticks that won't fall apart as fast, or hopefully never

are there tolerable third party joy-cons? mine drift and the thought of paying nintendo money to replace broken nintendo items is galling
(i know there's a replacement program i just haven't gotten my shit together to do it yet)
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 18 March 2021 21:01 (three years ago) link
i'd say there are, but after a month my third party joy-con started to drift, grrrrrrrrrrr
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 March 2021 21:47 (three years ago) link
seriously, between that and my ps4 being louder than a 747, i've been doing 99% of my recent gaming on my coputer. fuck that driftin noise
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 March 2021 21:48 (three years ago) link
and yes, it's called my coputer, we are reversing mitosis
the replacement program is pretty easy and painless, I sent each of my joy-cons in (months apart) and each time got it back from Nintendo in like 2 weeks, no charge
