Dr Christmas posted:Banjo-Kazooie was added to Smash Bros today. I have one thing about the music in this update that's genuine, and one that might just be me going insane, so I'm going to lead with the definitely-real one. This update also brought in Megalovania, Sans' boss theme from Undertale. Yes, really. Snuck into the back of its climax, barely audible especially in a fight, is a guitar part that samples Heartache, and then Bonetrousle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BTrspwpooo&t=116s And now, for me going completely insane: one of the Banjo-Kazooie remixes is Treasure Trove Cove. It's mostly just a fun, bouncy remix that keeps a lot of the original song's feel, it's probably the remix closest to the original... except that there's this weird, out of nowhere five-second build at the 56 second mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxFGzrCqZ7I&t=56s It's really weird, because there's nothing that has that sort of musical structure in Treasure Trove Cove; it doesn't even match the jingle for getting all jiggies, which would make sense. ...except that there sort of is. While the notes are different, the actual structure matches, of all things, the fanfare that plays when you enter an area with a Stop N Swop item. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mkbd2Cgj-M I think they snuck a Stop N Swop reference into the music.

The announcement for Terry Bogard is amazing as well. I especially love how they re-imagined Geese falling to his death from Real Bout Fatal Fury. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1169374098897526784 Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 12:34 on Sep 5, 2019 |

Warframe is a weird pseudo-anime fantasy action scifi with a lot of stuff going on. One of the most recent things added is the ability to play a Shawzin, just for fun. There was already a mandachord weapon which lets the frame Octavia use player made tunes as a weapon. If you are playing as that frame you can use tunes made for the mandachord to play a backing beat with your shawzin. Now you can go out into the open world areas, do some fishing, shoot some dudes and play some tunes. Unfortunately you can't fight with the shawzin, but you can record and share songs for people to play guitar hero style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsZFxQYvSSs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr8_2M47eeg

Finally got the upgraded stun arm in MGSV. Jumping out of the chopper in a stylish tuxedo, airlifting a bunch of sheep, then riding a jeep with your dog buddy to a fort where you take out the entire garrison through a combination of lightning bolts and kung fu is probably the most concentrated set of appreciable little things in games I've ever encountered.

Captain Hygiene posted:Finally got the upgraded stun arm in MGSV. Seriously, it's the ultimate dog game, but it's much more than that. I don't give a gently caress about the story in MGSV but drat was that fun game to maneuver through. Snake feels so tactile and deliberate to control that it's just a joy to do the basic stealth abduction loop. I also love how his competency is so complete. There's no mini-game to lockpick, snakes just picks the lock in a short animation that restricts your field of view for a few seconds. There's no give-and-take-and-overcome style melee combat, if you just run at the enemy and hit attack snake will throw them to the ground so brutally they are instantly incapacitated, and it never fails. There is some depth to the melee system but it's almost entirely about how to style on your enemies more intricately before incapacitating them. Your dog can be upgraded with a tactical combat vest that that includes a holster on his side with his tactical combat knife. You can crawl up the enemy squatted around a campfire under the stars, indicate your target and give your dog the signal, and D-Dog will crawl over to your target while unsheathing his knife in his mouth. He'll test his footing and then leap up and cleanly assassinate your target, land softly, and then he'll crawl back to you, and you then can pet him and tell him he's a good boy. Basically let's give Kojima all the money he wants for as long as he needs it.

MGSV is a good game, its just a disappointing MGS game. Sending your dog to chase down former Mother Base members was great.

Yeah, pretty much - I'm almost disappointed when the actual plot shows up occasionally, but I hardly mind because the core mission gameplay is so fun and thoughtfully designed. It's just as enjoyable when things go right as when it goes to hell and I just sprint around meleeing as many people as possible (interspersed with praising the dog, of course), I wouldn't even care if it was just a mission pack without anything larger tying it together. I've had my eye on the dog vest & knife for a while, I've just been waiting to find the right specialist (which I finally remembered to look up, and can apparently locate already).

Get the nonlethal version instead. Kidnap everyone with good stats. Quiet's nonlethal sniper rifle also turns enemy camps into a recruitment drive.

The loading icon for River City Girls is the ladies taking turns deadass punching each other in the face. It’s delightful. The menus are also pretty dynamic; not to persona levels, but pretty fun regardless. I haven’t even gotten to the gameplay yet and I’m already charmed.

MGSV sounds so amazing every time people talk about it but for me it's just a series of getting killed right away in the first real mission unless I get booted back to the home screen first because my connection sneezed or something. I'll never get to the good stuff.

I'll never get to the good stuff. I don't get the connection stuff, I've played at least half of it offline because my router blinks out/I can't be bothered to reconnect after putting the PS4 to sleep. Aside from that, it's 1000% worth it just to be like me and suck so much in the first mission that it gives you both levels of cheat hats to stop the enemy from seeing you, just die a couple times and it'll take pity. It's fun enough to continue on that way and I can all but promise you'll gradually get good enough to not need that (I did, and I'm convinced nobody is more profoundly Bad At Games than me) vvv

From what I've seen in the ChipCheezum play through, being online is a huge hindrance to actually playing. Either you are expected to keep up (A facade of) Base Defense because you are constantly being assaulted by other players, or you constantly are getting pinged with alerts, advertisements for DLC, free rewards and other clutter every few minutes.

Haha I've managed to play it for like two weeks without even knowing there was any "real" online stuff, it's all just a matter of connecting to collect rewards and challenges and junk from what I've seen, which is fine because it gives you some stuff and is mostly ignorable. I would turn that poo poo off the instant I saw a hint of interactivity with other players if it ever comes up

Problem is, you can't actually turn it off. There's no way to un-ring the bell. If you ever make an FOB, there is no way to un-make it or prevent other players from taking your supplies. If you make an FOB and then play offline, the supplies relegated to your FOB will still be there and it'll let you know what you've lost next time you connect and then take more of your supplies to replace them. The only way to avoid ever making one and being pushed into that section of the game is to intentionally ignore the mission that introduces you to them, repeatedly say 'no' until it stops asking if you want to make one (you only get one chance to do this, if you exit out of the menu without declining, it assumes you want to make one), or never connect to online mode ever on that save file. MGS5 is a fantastic game for many reasons, but the online interactivity is absolutely not one of them. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 20:20 on Sep 6, 2019 |

Don't worry they're making poo poo up. DLC announcements are the thing that comes up when you boot up the game. Otherwise being online vs offline is exactly the same only you don't get the extra FOB income and no FOB invasions if you're offline. FOB invasions are super fun to do but you can ignore them completely. Defending your FOB is optional. The only reason to avoid online imo is you get so much cash you'll have no reason to steal trucks full of russians in game. Or your internet sucks. EDIT: Other players can only steal your online earned online cash. They can't touch your Snake.

Vic posted:EDIT: Other players can only steal your online earned online cash. They can't touch your Snake. This is a bigger problem than you're making it out to be. Many of the later-game development projects require more money than the smaller offline-reserved stock can actually hold. Or at least, most of the money it can hold, meaning researching one item will completely exhaust your cash.

Well it's a lovely microtransaction timer bullshit trap for people who want to 100% the game I agree. But nothing bars you from actual game content is what I mean. I'm not saying it's good. I'll soon reach the FOB stuff so I'll let you know how bad it is nowadays.
