agreed, nice Euler
and lol ciderpress. maybe that's why I keep thinking about getting it...
and josh - that's one of the reasons I try to stick to indies on PC (then, PS4) in general

Finished "Ori!" What an absolutely lovely game, start to finish. Maybe a little short, but other than that I can't think of anything that could make this game better.

sequel is out in a few months though i think its xbox exclusive at launch
― ciderpress, Sunday, 20 October 2019 03:53 (four years ago) link
Yeah, trailer looks nice. Ori was one of those games I just figured I'd never get to play, so the fact that the first one came to Switch was a wonderful surprise (same with Cuphead).

I’m early on with Return of Obra Dinn but I think I’ll be obsessed with this thing.

it's a very good game if you enjoy actually playing the detective rather than assisting the detective like in most mystery games

I noticed that What Remains of Edith Finch is on Switch. That got a great response, right? I'm wondering whether to get it for the Nintendo or just wait for another PS4 sale.

I played many hours of Obra Dinn yesterday, it’s uh quite good
― president of deluded fruitcakes anonymous (silby), Sunday, 20 October 2019 17:20 (four years ago) link
I beat Obra Dinn! It’s good.
― president of deluded fruitcakes anonymous (silby), Monday, 21 October 2019 00:46 (four years ago) link
nice
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 October 2019 00:52 (four years ago) link
i've been playing it too. it's definitely cool but it's kind of repetitive and i feel like it keeps rushing me along and not giving me space to figure things out.
― na (NA), Monday, 21 October 2019 14:27 (four years ago) link
you can't really figure out too many until you've seen all the scenes. once it starts raining on the boat that's the cue that you've seen everything and it's time to review and solve
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 October 2019 14:33 (four years ago) link
“Repetitive” is not a valid complaint about a video game
― president of deluded fruitcakes anonymous (silby), Monday, 21 October 2019 14:38 (four years ago) link
if i were to buy Obra Dinn is there any reason to buy PC vs Switch or is it good on both?
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Monday, 21 October 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
No technical complaints about the Switch version either TV or handheld. I had to crank the look speed way down to not get nauseous but I was grateful to have the option.
― president of deluded fruitcakes anonymous (silby), Monday, 21 October 2019 16:16 (four years ago) link
the game is first person view so if you prefer to look with a mouse and not the right stick then it'd be better on PC. i know i prefer that
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 October 2019 16:28 (four years ago) link
there's no action though so it's not like an fps where that's actually a gameplay difference
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 October 2019 16:29 (four years ago) link
Speaking of which, I bought Doom way back when on Switch, and while I'm not sure how far along I am and it's been months since I played it, I think it's pretty far. From the start, gyro was absolutely essential to my gameplay on regular (which is still pretty tough) difficulty. Still, it was on deep discount on PS4, so I picked it up, curious, knowing the presentation and gameplay would be significantly better, and they are, but because I've gone from Gyro to twin-sticks I had to dial down the difficulty to "what a wimp" or whatever, and it's still pretty tricky to aim (even with aim assist, whatever subtle thing that feature actually does). I'm sure my thumbs will get used to it eventually.

I am one drunken night of sadness away from ordering it

I ordered it after reviews and early impressions were that it was Pretty Good, will report back

I'm weeks late to this conversation but I've been replaying LttP on my SNES emulator and it's just the greatest IMO
still haven't gotten a Switch but I really want Mario Maker 2

Very glad Obra Dinn let’s you know whether you have enough info to solve something. Can’t imagine the rabbit holes you’d senselessly dive into.That said have been digging deep and working hard on some of these mysteries somewhat unnecessarily because I wasn’t aware there were fresh bodies/clues to uncover.I get how this could feel repetitive if you blast through it, felt fatigue from doing just that early on, but stretching it out now and it’s a real treat.

Ring Fit Adventure: it’s fun, I’m sweaty

it is fun! it is taxing! we need to start a thread.

How much floor space do you need for it? I have... a single spot to stand on and not much else.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 05:54 (four years ago) link
playing obra dinn
think it needs a lot of attention!
― nxd, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 10:08 (four years ago) link
I really love Ring Fit Adventure. You'd probably be fine with an 8x8 space. A half-hour session at middling difficulty wipes me out.

you can't invert the Y-axis in luigi's mansion 3 ?!!!!!!!!!!

I admit, I at least appreciate the sense of humor of the "Bloodstained" developers:

luigi is pretty good! the first hour or so is clunky and fairly slow, but when it steps into gear it becomes quite involving
― times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 2 November 2019 05:32 (four years ago) link
and lack of inverted y axis is fiddly but not a dealbreaker
i can't think of many 3rd person games that have inverted axis options. did mario sunshine?
― ciderpress, Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:27 (four years ago) link
you mean on nintendo systems?
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:28 (four years ago) link
3rd person non shooter i should say, i know fortnite et al do
― ciderpress, Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:29 (four years ago) link
right I mean generally 3rd person AAA open world games have it (eg Just Cause) but those are shooters. the uncharteds have inverted but those are maybe just shooters too
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:33 (four years ago) link
well DQXI has inverted too, that's not a shooter
I am inverted 4 lyfe obv, being a non n00b
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:34 (four years ago) link
when did inverted look stop being the default?
classic thread
Steamworld Dig is 3 bucks on the Nintendo Store right now - I’ve never played it but it’s a fun Metroidy game, is that correct?
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Saturday, 2 November 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link
steamworld dig 2 is really good. 1 is lesser but still fine
― ciderpress, Saturday, 2 November 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link
but yes to it being metroidy. i think 1 has some randomly generated maps whereas 2 is fully designed
