Hollow Knight has good movement...after you get the dash. You should have started with the dash, really. Also it's not a Metroidvania if you're not mashing dash everywhere.

After I played Ori and the Will of the Wisps, I picked Hollow Knight back up to get into the Godmaster content and I do have to admit that it felt very slow and ponderous by comparison. Ori lets you just zip around like a hummingbird on crack while Hollow Knight is a lot more measured in its movement. That doesn't it's bad movement, but it does feel very different.

Yeah this all becomes really apparent if you've ever tooled around with platformer physics in GameMaker or something. A character's hit box need's all sorts of invisible padding or collisions become a real headache.

I can't be upset about clunky movement in Hollow Knight when it's just copying from so many Castlevanias with clunky movement. It makes up for that shortcoming with fantastic atmosphere. I love the movement in Dead Cells and it's fun as hell, but it's hard to keep a somber atmosphere when you're zipping around all over the place. Dead Cells is drab but also irreverant/ironic, I think in part because you can't do that kind of gameplay and be deadpan serious melancholy all the time. HK is also copying heavily from Dark Souls, where you're not exactly zipping and swinging around the map either.

I think the movement is hollow knight is fine but the dash didn't feel particularly good to me. Not enough (or any?) momentum. The air control and down slash hopping felt nice though.

Finishing up the quests in Memphis and beginning to leave it, but.... drat. Look at these graphics. Sorry about the HUD, didn't remember to turn it off.    riding through the desert on the camel with no name felt good to be out of the rain~

THe modding scene is great in a lot of ways but the game blows chunks and there's a real lack of good quest mods and no real mods to fix the mess most of the vanilla quests and side stuff is beyond the mechanical level. Also it kinda feels bad to play even with all the balance mods in the world. The engine is just breaking at the seams.

I really enjoyed Origins but does the quest UI looks like a placeholder to anyone else? Just a chunk of plain white text, save the main objective which has a weird WordArt gradient applied to it. Always seemed way out of place to me, as petty a thing as it is to have any feelings about at all.

SirSamVimes posted:"clunky movement in Hollow Knight" is one of the most Eh, I bounced off Hollow Knight really hard after a very short time with it and a lot of the reason was the controls felt bad to me. Maybe they get better when you unlock more movement options? Dead Cells was fun right out of the box though, so. I ended up finding a super cheap copy of E:D on Nuuvem. Never bought anything from there before but it activated on Steam and the internet says they don't do gray market keys so it seemed worth a shot at $7.50/$15 for the Commander edition. We'll see how it goes, if it sucks at least it wasn't expensive!

What is the consensus on the Shadows games? Fanatical has a bundle with both Awakening and Heretical Kingdom plus DLC but what I'm reading is giving me the impression at least one of the two isn't finished?

Today I Learned: - I suck at poker. Cannot wrap my head around it at all. Runespell: Overture seems like a cool game but it requires poker for these battles and nope. You would think learning the patterns would be easy but they are not. - Two suite spider solitaire is a NIGHTMARE jesus christ how do people play this - Assassin's Creed Odyssey combat improves about a billion times if you force yourself to use a heavy weapon. You're forced to learn patters and find openings and it's like... miniaturized Monster Hunter combat, and if you hit dodge at the right moment you go into slo-mo and it's really satisfying? I'm focusing on a poison-heavy build with points in assassination/hunting and that makes fights kinda dicey... but fun! - State of Decay 2's nightmare mode continues to be brutal in ways I did not expect. It's not a fun experience, and when I beat it I'm going back to normal or dread.

They might have explained it in that video (which I haven't watched yet) but I've heard the term "Coyote Time" before and just figured out it's probably a reference to the Wile E. Coyote cartoons where he'd run off a cliff and "stand" on thin air for several seconds, not falling until he recognized his predicament.

Man, I feel like I kinda got oversold on Ori ( og, not Wisps ). Like it's good, but it's really not revolutionary. The plot is pretty basic, and I saw all the major hits coming. The platforming requires a precise level I wasn't expecting, and am not really enjoying tbh. The "metroid" aspects are fairly weak, with very few real upgrades and kinda rote exploration outside of a few spots. It's not bad or anything. Just I remember people comparing this to Hollow Knight and claiming it was better then Hollow Knight, and I'm feeling like we played totally different games. Especially with Will of the Wisps out now, it almost feels like a tech demo.

I sometimes feel like I secretly got sucked into a weird pocket dimension where Bethesda's games don't instantly implode the second you do anything in them. Like they haven't been 100% bug free experiences (and the bugs I have run into are pretty galling) but it's always been specific, concrete quest scripting problems and not the big bad Gamebryo engine making GBS threads the bed because I picked up a plate off a table or w/e. As for the game itself, IMO you will probably like it if you enjoy the kind of self-directed, loot-centric open world game Bethesda has been making from roughly Oblivion onward. If you want moral quandaries more complex than "do I murder this person or not murder this person" or "do I be racist against robots or not" and need a strong narrative throughline to back up 100+ hours of scavenging through abandoned buildings then you will hate it.

Is Wolfenstein Youngblood broken as hell for anyone else? I gave it a shot on Xbox Gamepass and my character constantly continues to walk/run after I stop pressing a key. Sometimes it sends me completely across the room while ignoring any other key presses. It's literally unplayable.

Haven't kept up with the games at all. It's another Gears of War game. I was really not a fan of the shoehorned open world stuff in this one but the levels were all just standard Gears of War that you know and love. If you already have Gamepass and want to play a new GOW, it's probably worth checking out. I played through most of it in co-op with a friend and we had a good time but ran out of steam before the end of the campaign and just stopped playing it. Edit: Oh wait I misread what you said. I thought you had gamepass. Oh yeah if it's free to play for the week on Steam you can probably get your fill of it in that time.
