I’m on leave from work for mental illness and I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew Valley again, which frankly is extremely good and I do not really need another six thousand entries in this genre when we have this.
I tried the Factorio demo for a bit and while I think I would enjoy the game and their small team worked very hard to make it work on a controller I think the “last mile” of work to make it actually a good console game may not quite be there.

I hope Silksong finally comes out so that people can stop whining about it.that's right, I'm whining about the whining. whineception.

No Silksong. Almost all the games announced seemed like something a particularly precocious middle schooler might have come up with during game-design summer camp.

more precocious middle schoolers should make games if soglad to see World Of Horror will get out of early access next year, been wanting to play that for ages

The black and white deer and wolf game looked really pretty.

Can't believe Sports Story is finally coming out, though it was dead for sure

I feel like this has become a major trend in indie games (a trend I can't wait to be over)

curious which games you're talking about do you just mean 'twee' aesthetics or like silly gameplay concepts like the goose game
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 22:03 (one year ago) link
Speaking just for myself it's a particular combination of twee aesthetic and a naive-feeling over-earnestness. It's like gaming used to be sophomoric in an edgy way and now it's sophomoric in a twee way. The latter is quite preferable, but both trends are kind of annoying to me
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 00:18 (one year ago) link
I think this is related to the explosion of cozy farming sims and to an extent I get it; we all want something that feels comforting In These Times, etc.

can you really blame the young people who have came out of the last decade of... this worldusually though, i would expect such nostalgia from the olds and not from people in their 20s-30s coming of age post-2008 recessioncapitalism sucks, but at least we have the fantasy of Animal Crossing.

may 12 for tears of the kingdom
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 22:44 (one year ago) link
Reportedly $70?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 22:58 (one year ago) link
street fighter 2 turbo was $79 when it came out in 1992
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 23:00 (one year ago) link
i guess 1993 by the time it hit the US. either way, i played it so much that i was able to optimize my enjoyment-to-cost ratio to over 500 enjoyment points per dollar
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 23:03 (one year ago) link
Yeah, fair enough. Breath was one of the few games I've played totally worth $70, tbh. Sort of surprised there's been no gameplay footage this close to release, though. I'm sure it will run well, I'm just wondering if, as has been rumored, it may be the same map, mostly the same enemies, etc. Not that that would be a dealbreaker, either. Again, another game where more of the same (plus flying or something) is probably OK.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 23:22 (one year ago) link
its "the same map" but different
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 23:31 (one year ago) link

Nintendo’s voucher program lets you give Nintendo $100 in exchange for two vouchers, each of which you can redeem for a game from a specific list. That list now includes Tear of the Kingdom, meaning you can effectively get one of the most anticipated games of 2023 for just $40 if you’re willing to effectively buy another game at full price.The list of qualifying games includes lots of old stuff that’s frequently on sale, but also plenty of more recent hits like Splatoon 3, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Splatoon 3, and Fire Emblem Engage. What was a maximum savings of $20 is now $30 with Tears of the Kingdom in the mix. The vouchers last up to 12 months, though it’s not exactly clear when Nintendo will stop selling them.

I was annoyed that my Switch online sub got renewwed last month when I'd meant ot let it lapse - I barely used it after dicovering the Occarina port was so shit. But now, with all this Gamecube stuff and Warioware etc I am dead pleased.
Now I just need new joycons, mine have developed fatal stick drift.

― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 9 February 2023 20:48 (one year ago) link
It did? I might have to try it again then! It was the controls I couldnt deal with, they were janky as fuck.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:16 (one year ago) link
guess what metroid prime with modern controls is really good
― adam, Friday, 10 February 2023 00:10 (one year ago) link
I’ve been hoping/waiting for a Metroid Prime port for years, as it’s probably my favorite game of all time. Even bought a used Gamecube a while back to play it again, but it looks like ass on a modern tv so I haven’t returned to it much. Got the remaster as soon as I heard about it. So weird that it’s finally here.
Anyway it looks great. Controls are ridiculously smooth.
