  • Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone's first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?

  • I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can't get back to). I think from here on out (I'm in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I'll keep it as blind as I can.

    I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it's pretty cool. But maybe it's just because I haven't played a Metroidvania in 2 years.

    Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb's Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they'll be adding as the game progresses, but it's been a delight so far.

  • 8BitDo’s new all-button arcade controller is just 16mm thick

    Jump

  • Leverless controllers are fairly popular. Supposedly more ergonomic and precise than an arcade stick or pad controller, more portable than the stick, and better to use than a keyboard.

    It is a fairly large learning curve if you've already played fighting games with another input method, but after building some new muscle memory, you'll realize that your understanding of the game is still intact. There are also some really good "shortcuts" in input methods to get precise, just-frame inputs, allowing you to input opposite directions just 1 frame apart, with no stick travel time.

  • Debbie Dingell appears to sleep in House meeting; drops fiesty reply

    Jump

  • Not to be a weirdo, but wow, I guess they don't have copy editors, because I believe the word should be "feisty"

  • Huntington Beach to vote on ‘MAGA’ plaque for library’s 50th anniversary

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, yeah. Back on r/losangeles people knew the reputation of HB (and a number of other beach communities, especially as you push further south).

    Truly ridiculous, though, to want to commemorate a building like this with the name of a movement that wasn't there when the building was built, and has no ties to the purpose of the building. They rage about identity politics but have somehow tied their identity into their political beliefs.

  • Trump's Justice Department ends Biden-era task force aimed at seizing assets of Russian oligarchs

    Jump

  • Well, no one voted for"Genocide Joe" because Biden was not in the election. I'm sure there were a number of people, though, who abstained from voting for Harris because she also did not represent their wishes for the situation in Palestine, though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.

    I don't understand the quote or run-on sentence of yours. People should indeed try and campaign for candidates they believe align with their ideals of governance.

  • Sega is the next game company asking you to make an account

    Jump

  • I groan at yet another account situation... But I adore RGG's work, and will do anything for more Yakuza. Yakuza 3-5 remastered was the reason I even got myself a PS5. Yakuza 0 and Kiwami were the reason I got my PS4.

  • Dangerous cold will soon hit much of the United States. Where temps will be subzero.

    Jump

  • I'm in the LA area. Glad that we're staying above freezing, especially in the wake of the fires.

    But seriously, it feels like we're getting these humongous weather patterns fairly regularly now. Maybe someone should investigate what's going on with our global climate and causing these.

  • [Skill Up] You've never seen (or heard) a game quite like: Skate Story (Hands-On Impressions)

    Jump

  • I added this to my Steam wishlist like 2 minutes after I saw this announced... Maybe a year ago? I'm awful at skate games but I really love the look of this game.

  • LAUNCH TRAILER - Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond

    Jump

  • It's a mod, but it may as well be a completely new game. It's a huge revamp that Max has pumped so much time and money into.

  • Marvels Rivals: In just 72 hours, we’ve reached an incredible milestone of 10 million players worldwide

    Jump

  • I'm having a good time with it! If you're a Marvel fan, it draws from a lot more than just the MCU, and is much better for it in my opinion. If you're not a Marvel fan, it's similar to an Overwatch, but with each character playing drastically different from each other. Character complexity can feel like a lot, but it works out in a chaotic, fun way.

    Iron Man, my preferred character, has a projectile repulsor blast, a close-range unibeam, perpetual flight, boosters to move quickly (with a recharging meter), a temporary damage buff, rockets that can fire while buffed or while using boosters, and an ultimate bomb. If he's on the same team as a Bruce Banner/Hulk, then whenever Hulk drops Gamma radiation, Iron Man's buff is stronger (and green).

  • Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is getting a gun that is also a bong, resulting in a backlash from players who are upset they got banned for toxic voice chat in a game that is 'promoting using drugs'

    Jump

  • Hell Let Loose, I'm assuming. Haven't played it, but I think it's a WW2 sim shooter?

  • Marvel Rivals dev on why Rivals succeeded and Concord failed - "it didn't bring any unique value"

    Jump

  • I mean, it's certainly one way to have "flavor of the month" characters without actually having to rebalance things monthly.

  • Marvel Rivals dev on why Rivals succeeded and Concord failed - "it didn't bring any unique value"

    Jump

  • A lot of good games can be based on randomness. Being in control of the deck building means that your choices shape the odds. I used to have a similar viewpoint as you, but learned to really embrace randomness and the design challenges it presents.

    I say this as a Magic player, where even the greatest players in the world can get screwed or flooded on mana. The possibility of screw/flood increases the importance of card draw/card selection, makes the playability of low-mana cards more important, and makes heavy color pip investment, multiple colors, and higher mana costs a very serious concern.

  • Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant - Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • Oh, I already have it, I just needed a good reason to hop into it and really give it a shot over the holidays.

    I'm fine with games that push you to change your combat; combat that's only there as a stat check and grind doesn't feel like a compelling reason to have combat.

  • Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant - Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • I'm like, one toe deep in 4 different turn-based RPGS. What does this one do particularly well?

  • Finally, The Witcher 3 with the fat cut out: They're releasing a physical Gwent board game for true connoisseurs

    Jump

  • Hey, don't forget about good old Riding the Dilu Horse. +2/+2 and Horsemanship that stuck around, with no counters or attachment.

  • The best games of 2024, picked by NPR's staff

  • Wyrmspan is awesome.

    If you enjoy Wingspan, Wyrmspan feels like a Wingspan where you can actually "build" in a cohesive manner, and everything feels a little tighter/tougher due to the reduced number of resources you can get per action initially. The ability to earn more actions within a round becomes pivotal. And it feels like there are different viable paths to victory, whereas Wingspan really felt like "get early pink ability birds, then focus on high point value birds.

    My board game group has switched over without looking back, and we had already invested in the Nesting Box and every expansion for Wingspan.

  • Zotac Zone review

    Jump

  • Thanks!

    I didn't know/understand the integrated memory thing.

    It seems like this thing is like 80% of the way to an amazing machine. Hall Effect sticks and a great screen and chip set, but the Windows 11 nonsense and the short RAM keep it from being an auto-recommend.

    If SteamOS goes public, I'd really hope to see how this device fares.
