welp, still trying to finish nuclear throne
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Monday, 31 October 2016 07:30 (seven years ago) link
i got to the nuclear throne a few times but never beat it. and once you beat the throne u start looping so there's really no end to it anyway

Mini Metro ON IPAD is terrific, as you organise public transport on cities familiar and not: you start with London, Paris and New York maps, suiting many readers here I imagine, and unlock Berlin, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and others as you progress. Games are quick as you end up with overcrowded stations but you learn and improve your plans. And it's gorgeous to look at, particularly if you love to look at public transports maps already as I do.

Mini Metro is great and meditative and has great procedural sound designed by Disasterpeace

titanfall multiplayer is a blastttt

the campaign is supposed to be good as well (i only played through the first couple steps there thus far, mp is too significant a distraction)

Watched Starcraft 2 blizzcon finals yesterday, great best of 5 between Byun (T) and Dark (Z). Really put me in the mood to play again. It's all about that micro...

Owlboy is...good?
It's like Super Mario Bros. 2 with Zelda-lite dungeons
The aesthetic reminds me of Secret of Mana though, that might be the kicker
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 7 November 2016 19:01 (seven years ago) link
it does look good. i've been tempted.

Based on the first 4 hours it seems like the most blockbuster SNES game imaginable

Played 3 online SC games yesterday before I hit an asshole who "rofl"ed at my 5 minute push, destroying my shit with siege tank and misspelled turret, and remarked "meh" to my "gg." Seriously, fuck these guys

― thomasintrouble, Saturday, 26 November 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I don't think it's meant for hours of gameplay or anything. It's kinda cheesy to mention but it captures the "trippy" thing better than just about anything I've seen. Wish it had sound.

Currently I am itching to play Bloodborne but my son seems to have settled in for the afternoon playing The Last Of Us. Have suggested he buy his own ps4, an idea was met only by a sarcastic grunt.

final fantasy explorers for 3ds which is basically a dumbed down monster hunter game play wise, with an extensive job system and really fun online mp. it's a little repetitive but also really nice to mindlessly kill huge monsters

I'm revisiting Delta Force a bit lately. This was the first game I ever played multiplayer online, through a dial up, and it was fantastic.
Only single player mode now though, but it's ticking the nostalga box I need right now.

my downstairs neighbor is a gamer in her early twenties who hasn't had a system since the last gen. i invited her up and she played through Journey over two nights. it was tremendous fun to watch her do it. She kept making "shuushhhhhh" noises as the lil' guy slalomed down hills. Gonna have her play Limbo next. Then maybe we can play The Witness together and I can finally have a go at it for real.

i did not like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
it was free

^ did that a couple of weekends ago and nearly posted the same thing. I was fascinated with how boring it was.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 5 December 2016 05:00 (seven years ago) link
i was fascinated with the design decision to implement the slowest walking speed of all time. that single decision increased the length of the game from 45 minutes to 3-4 hours
― Karl Malone, Monday, 5 December 2016 05:06 (seven years ago) link
i will say, though, if an indie-ish game like Rapture can at least feature decent voice acting, all the AAA titles that come out each year with garbage voice acting have absolutely no excuse.

How long can I play?As long as you can stay awake. We ship the system with an AC Adaptor.

lol
yeah. it's basically just an emulator you can play on your tv. there's probably already a way to do that. but this seems like it'll make it super easy to do, and the 32GB card can be loaded up with roms. i'm hoping this thing will become my archive for everything up to PSX-era
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 22:51 (seven years ago) link
it actually does look pretty cool, and the idea of having a cute lil plug-and-play box is way more appealing than fucking around with a raspberry pi or whatever to do the same thing diy-style. can it reach the dazzling commercial heights of the ouya? only time will tell (unless it gets busted pre-release by Nintendo or whoever for being a straight-up piracy box)
― Rush Limbaugh and Lou Reed doing sex with your parents (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 6 December 2016 22:58 (seven years ago) link
yeah, that's definitely the biggest risk. apparently it comes with 15 games, which they'll announce during the months leading up to the release. i don't really care which 15 because i plan on just loading it up with my own roms immediately, but it will be interesting to see how the licensing works and all that.

calling it now: it'll be 15 copies of bible adventures

i'm playing watch dogs 2 as well - somehow, even although it's an improvement on the original in every way, i'm still not enjoying it very much :(
― Rush Limbaugh and Lou Reed doing sex with your parents (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 11:13 (seven years ago) link
pretty sure the 15 games won't be roms, they'll be made for the system or freeware or indie games they get ppl to release versions of on the console.

yeh there's plenty of indie developers out there making new NES/SNES etc. games who are more than happy to put their stuff on any new hardware - people like CollectorVision and Piko Interactive were up for putting their games on that super shady Coleco Chameleon ffs
