I should have known from Hollow Knight that the map guy would go to town, but I wasn’t thorough. I’m enjoying this game so far. The bosses feel easier than the jumping parts. I just need to remember to slow down and learn the boss patterns before I run in all crazy.

No, I was more frustrated with some of the boss run backs. I kept having to down thrust bouncy things in order to avoid spikes. I was trying to find that guy to buy maps, but I didn’t know he went back to town, so I kept exploring more. I ended up losing like 200 rosary beads.

The only reason I was able to beat Zelda as a kid was the map that came with the game and some Nintendo power guides. A lot of those games would get you lost or hide some pathway behind something stupid. Zelda I remember getting stuck in one of the later dungeons because I didn’t realize that when the monster blocking my path said “grumble grumble” he wanted my meat 🍖.

The Metroid map was hard to follow. I only beat that with the Justin Bailey code. It was easier to run around with the power ups. Castlevania was fucking impossible with the crystal orbs and kneeling for a tornado to warp you. MegaMan is pretty unforgiving in some spots, but you can memorize parts of the board, kinda like ninja gaiden.

I wish you good fortune in the wars to come. I went back to beat Mike Tyson’s Punch out as an adult, and the only reason I beat that was playing on an emulator and saving the game after each successful dodge/hit I got. That like banging my head into a wall.

These are the people that made the X-Men Legends 1 & 2 games. I replayed those games so many times. I didn’t even know the company was still around.

Classic FOMO to have FOMO about the meaning of FOMO.

There was an old computer game Warlords. It was turned based and you can even play it online nowadays.

Warlords

I didn’t play the new Prince of Persia because they wanted you to be logged in to play. It looked good, but there are just too many options for me to put up with shit like Ubisoft.

Tank: Man, we wiped. What happened? Normally that boss isn’t a problem.

Healer: 1212131411121511

Tank: Oh.

Maybe make a version of the game when you aren’t a superhero and just the cleanup crew that has to fix the city afterwards. Sweep up the halls of Justice, and buff that coffee stain out of the table all without special effects.

I would agree with Dread. It is such a a nice clean game and that last boss was an actual challenge. Many games are awesome but fumble the last boss.

Before Dread, I would say the Super Metroid on SNES, that game introduced (at least me) the wall jumps and the sprint to down boost jump thing. I always tired to saved the animals when leaving the planet, but it’s not like they were able to get off the planet, so I’m not sure if it really helped.

The larger company needs to hinder the smaller company with pointless slapp lawsuits. That way the smaller company will be too busy to innovate anything new.

HK rocks! Those aspids fucking suck. I kept getting hit by them fuckers. The Trial of the Fool was tough, but the Mawleks got me nervous and jumping and that usually ends bad.

Did you open up the Hall of the Gods? You could practice on the bosses you’ve found.

Is that the pirate cat game? That was a fun game. I love puns and cats, so I’m very biased.

Samurai Zero. I haven’t attempted speed runs, but I just finished the game.

It was definitely the CD and 32X coming out in quick succession. Then also here is a completely new game system. Just throw that other crap away. I heard that Sega of Japan wasn’t communicating with their American counter parts that well.

Sega Saturn was good and so was the Dreamcast, but those bread crumbs improvements beforehand made it feel like a cash grab. Shame too, since I was on team Sega.

Thanks for the hint. I’ll give it a look.

I will NEVER play the new version. It looked good and I downloaded a demo of it. They wanted me to make a Ubisoft account so I can log on before I could play. F that noise. There are plenty of other games I can play.

I still like sands of time and the OG one. The OG one is hard as fuck. I never beat it.

No we need a 4th DE game that includes the making of these 3 and all the infighting involved in the system.

My hype train was put away for a couple years, but it came back out this year. If there’s not a definitive release date by the end of the year, then I will go back to pretending it doesn’t exist.

Backwards compatibility is probably the only way they might convince me to buy a new switch instead of just staying with indie games on the old one. I have a good library already and there are still more games to try. I’m not in a rush to try the new AAA bull crap that comes out.

I never played Outer Wilds and I don’t know anything about it, but I absolutely love Disco Elysium and Hollow Knight. I might check out Outer Wilds since I agree with your write ups with the other 2.

Thanks for the rec.

For a story based game DISCO ELYSIUM!!

I have no idea if it’s AA or whatever. Maybe if AA stood for Alcoholics Anonymous. Also there was some corporate greed fuckery so the makers do get a cut on steam or anything, so…

X-Men Legends 2

Does this include Hollow Knight? Because I want more of that. I can’t wait for Silksong!

Does anyone know how well AI does feet? I’m beginning to think Rob Liefeld is part AI.

This was such a great game. I remember reading a few years ago that the first time they showed it to Matt Groening he was playing as Homer and kicked Marge down the street. It’s the little things.
