Didn't they release a 2d Yooka-Laylee that's supposed to be good?

man nurse posted:I bought yooka-laylee for a tenner and so far I’m not sure why this game was so derided, it’s pretty much exactly what it advertised itself to be? To elaborate on what others have said: when it first came out it didn’t have a full 3D camera, which was loving awful.

Yooka Laylee does nothing to establish itself as its own game. It’s a functional reskin/pallet swap of Banjo-Kazooie. I got it for free from EGS and played it for like 4 hours and Banjo Kazooie is just the exact same game but better. I wanted a game in the style of Banjo-Kazooie, not a weird remake of Banjo-Kazooie.

Lobok posted:It's been too many years to remember all the detail but Saints Row 2 felt like the spiritual sequel to GTA III for me and had lots of little quality-of-life improvements to mechanics and controls that made it less aggravating to play compared to GTA 3 and Vice City. SR3 and 4 start to get a little too over-the-top for me but 2 was perfect. Yeah, whereas the first Saints Row plays it completely straight with being a San Andreas knockoff (a fairly good one for what it's worth), SR2 embraced a much lighter tone and gave players more opportunities for mayhem and truly wrecking the sandbox, unlike Rockstar that preferred to only occasionally let players run wild with cool toys, and usually in a controlled, scripted situation. SR2 especially got a lot of good press for being the anti-GTA IV, being released six months later. Much of GTA IV's hype had died down by then and there was some backlash against it, as it had become apparent that Rockstar had gotten interested in immersive, cinematic simulations where your every input can have punishing consequences, and many people hadn't come to GTA IV expecting that. For contrast, SR2 didn't take the narrative very seriously and let you play dress up.

Lol that's the same place I stopped Anyway horizon zero dawn is cool, the combat is fun and it doesn't really have a whole lot of crafting in it Also control is really good and fun to play to.

I'm a bunch of chapters in and I really really like the tone and I get why Sisko (still a commander) is the best captain. Also props for DS9 being the tv show with the first interracial kiss and knowing that is not THAT old, is kind of mindblowing.

Escobarbarian posted:Isn’t TOS the first interracial kiss On American TV, yeah. Basically Shatner and Nichols got around the censors (or producers?) who didn't want the kiss to happen by intentionally botching take after take of the scene except for the one that aired so it was the only viable shot. Like, Shatner would cross his eyes or make a goofy face or look right at the camera for every other take. Within the context of the episode it's not great because Kirk is essentially mind-controlled into doing it but oh well. TOS tended to be two steps forward and one step back when it came to stuff like that.

Necrothatcher posted:What was the last revolutionary console by your standards? The Wii? Dreamcast  going from tekken 3 to soul calibur was mentaland then going online with people from loving japan in phantasy star online, years before xbox and playstation even started on the concept of console online gaming. Some other games even had crossplay! You could play quake 3 with pc players. Dreamcast's influence is so much greater than people give it credit for

Dreamcast was cool but its controller was poo poo. It really could have used two more buttons and another joystick. Six face buttons would have been fine and put it in line with other Sega consoles if they didn't want to use four shoulder buttons. The lack of a right joystick made good camera control pretty much impossible on the system.

Oh yeah definitely. For Quake 3 you had to use the XYAB buttons for movement, and the left stick for aiming. It works better than it sounds but it was funky for its time. The less said about Unreal Tournament's unholy control scheme the better. But both games supported the Dreamcast m/kb at least! The lack of a second joystick also primed us for monster hunter, PSO kickstarted the whole press-button-to-reset-camera-angle thing. Even to this day that's what I use.

One is the worst amount of joysticks on a game pad. Two or zero are both better options. Don't post the N64 controller, it's an abomination

I spent ages 13-15 getting about 4 hours of sleep a night because I was up late on Quake 3 and PSO and IRC, a formative era in my childhood that imparted a rich tapestry of permanent brain damage.

The online connectivity of the Dreamcast was a little less exciting to me, as I had already wasted hundreds of hours of my youth playing Quake, Half-Life and its mods (Counter-Strike, TFC), and Total Annihilation. It was cool, but the novelty wasn't quite there.

I, too, spent hours on my HUmar getting sweet katana and hating goes to Caves* (but Mines owned). I played a little bit of PSO version 2 much later and it was good, too. * - The boss at Caves was great, as was the music.

shut up blegum posted:I watched 3 minutes of the quick look for HZD and it looks like that's another game where you hunt down 10 animals to craft a better weapon to hunt down the next 10 animals etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if they were able to do a remaster of Saints Row II with working coop I'd shell $60 out for it. That game is such dumb fun. If you haven't played it there's an LP on the forums that you should at least watch a couple episodes of to get an idea of the insanity.

I think that HZD has you hunt down things for armor and the better weapons are just sold in shops further into the game than the starting area you're in. Aside from that your usual crafting is healing potions and ammo.

Honestly once you get the exact timing if the button taps down the 2nd stage of the boss becomes simple.
