You’re right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I’d ask anyway, because…you know, what if?.
And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn’t ask for that one but I’ll take it on board.
Hey.
I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.
You’re right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I’d ask anyway, because…you know, what if?.
And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn’t ask for that one but I’ll take it on board.
Thank you.
I think I saw a show 20 or so years ago that tried to debunk this and obviously either they messed up, or I wasn’t paying attention.
(The show was called Brainiac).
Thank you. I cannot get this Lemmy linking thing down.
Tearaway was designed from the ground up to be played on the Vita and I’d say it does a pretty fantastic job of using that hardware well. It’s also super cute.
Can’t speak to the hardware question but the game itself is definitely worth playing, especially with headphones.
It’s one of the few games that I think everyone should experience at least a little of. The puzzles can be a little meh, and the combat is fiiiiiiine, but where the game really shines is in its atmosphere, world design and use of FMV and audio to really sell it’s story and put you inside the protagonist head.
I’ve got to be honest, I thought the Dead Space remake was a significantly more impressive return than the RE4 one.
I wish I had the time for a redux. The early game is absolutely fantastic, but I’ve got such a limited time to play I don’t think I could really commit to it.
Same. I ended up playing it on my partner’s PS5, and it ran well enough (30FPS be damned). Put that on my Steamdeck though, please.
Bloodborne, Sifu or Hyper Light Drifter.
I don’t really want to pick between the three, but I’ll go with Sifu, because it’s got a little of that super tough, Fromsoftiness built in.
Runs like a dream on my Steamdeck too, and has some genuinely really impressive moments of beauty that I wasn’t expecting from a super-hard-beat-people-up-with-a-pipe game.
I played that just after the birth of my second child and it quickly became one of my absolute favourite games of all time.
I can’t believe Lies of P didn’t even get a nomination in this category.
In the year since I got my Steamdeck it’s become favourite way to play games. The only thing I really have an issue with…is the screen, and this looks to have addressed that issue.
Going to be real hard for me not to splurge on this.
Serious question. How do you decide if something is garbage or not, like what’s the criteria?
So I finished Super Mario Wonder and it’s as good as you’ve heard it to be.
And I just started playing Cult of the Lamb. Really digging that so far, although I can already feel the anxiety that usually comes along with the base management aspects of these games; so much to do, no idea what to prioritise.
Working okay coming from Feddit.uk
How do you take a game that’s already incredibly self-serious and make it even more so without it becoming a cliché of itself?
This sort of thing is very personal. IIRC 2018 was the last time we had one of these years and I was really meh on the entire year. Not bad, but it certainly didn’t thrill me.
'23 has been wild though, so many games have hit with me.
Larian are far from the only studio that’s willing to do this. The Witcher 2 features a choice after the first act that locks off one pathway in its entirety. It’s probably 5-10 hours of content that’s locked out until you play the game again (or load and make another choice I guess).
That said, I agree with your point, I wish we had more developers that are willing to take that risk.
Spider-Man 2.
I think I’m in the final act now, and the only real complaint I have is with the >!MJ sections, which just feel stiff compared to the rest of the game, that could be entirely a personal preference thing though!<.
If there was ever a game that I’d describe as a ‘Popcorn game’, it’d be this one. There’s always something fun and engaging to do, moving your character around the world is fun and I never feel like they’re filling for length or that they aren’t respecting my time.
I mean it was called Brainiac and it did have John Tickle walking on top of a pool of custard. Are you suggesting I was wrong to use that as my foundation for all knowledge??
