Rupert Buttermilk posted:There's a demo for Happy Birthdays. I think it's like a weird ant-farm-like sort of deal. I've considered picking it up a few times but never did. I bought a physical copy of Happy Birthdays and was absolutely never able to wrap my head around it. You individually adjust the elevation of pieces of a plane to make them hotter or colder, then use special skills to seed life, promote mating, make plants, animals, etc. I got to the first real area and couldn’t do it at all. Meanwhile my wife picked it up and beat the main mode and started working through the missions. I watched her play for hours and still couldn’t decipher it. Anyways it’s a land of contrasts and definitely for some people and not others.

Folks really trying to poo poo on the krauser knife fight? That scene is so good I had a save set aside just to play that part. And wasn't RE4 the pioneer of "oh poo poo pick up the sticks you need to move in this cut scene?" GoaT game.

I take back everything I've said about Charlotte in Trials of Mana. She owns. Her Boston accent loving rules, and if she says an unvoiced line, I can just pretend Homestar Runner is saying it. It's the best.

Like the tutorial says it's mostly about time. You can get really far just changing tile height and watching it evolve slowly there's even a speed up button. It's more of a do a few things see what develops and explore. If you try and play it like it's a hardcore game I imagine it would be extremely frustrating. You can of course use speed run strategies spamming items and I'm sure break the game very quickly.

"Like you, I'm American..." Also, I really don't like how the game plays Krauser up like 'yeah, remember him?' when, in 2005, he had never existed before this game. Like, I know the story is ridiculous, but c'mon now. C'mon. :

Bloody hard, naturally, but it had a very clever gimmick where the game would give you more continues after a game over for each new run. I think that it eventually capped out at infinite, but I don't recall. I'm a bit afraid to play my PS3 now (I have one of the old, huge ones that plays PS2 games via hardware) because it's so old and if it breaks, those damned things are way too expensive second-hand.  bushisms.txt posted:Folks really trying to poo poo on the krauser knife fight?

PageMaster posted:Is resident evil 4 a good buy on switch for someone who's never played it? Haven't played any RE games but this seems to be the one everyone says is the best, buy not sure how much of that is nostalgia or if it's a good game on its own. Its probably my favorite game ever, so even if some lovely parts are in it, its still worth the experience. I believe everyone should play it.

I'm not talking about qtes labeled qtes. Didn't shenmue warn you? Re4 took it took the next level where it was a jump scare in a rendered scene. Because technically die hard arcade/dynamite cop would be the first.

RE4 is capturing that style of a B-movie where the actors know it and are going ham, wheras the previous games were more shlock that the actors tried to play straight.

I remember someone posting the portable printer that will print your Switch screenshots. I'm a bit intrigued, but it's $100 and out of stock on Amazon. I don't suppose you could pretty much do something similar with any old photo printer? I think it'd be fun to print all the dumb screenshots I've taken in stuff like Odyssey and Smash (I really love photo modes for whatever reason) and hang them up around my house or whatever, but it's probably more a novel idea than anything. It'd also give me a good excuse to pick up Pokemon Snap...

The Kins posted:They actually literally just announced they won't be at E3 "due to timing". They claim to be working on "a number of key projects". As for what we know about, outside of their usual Pro Evo Soccer game, they have the non-Stadia version of Super Bomberman R Online and the impending Steam Early Access release of Getsu Fuma Den: Undying Moon on the docket. Konami teamed up with the people who made those Layers of Fear games to make the next Silent Hill* *Not confirmed but that didn't stop the headlines or the posts talking about how they're making the worst Silent Hill

The Kins posted:Duke 3D's Fancy Alternate Renderer I've been playing Duke on Switch lately and I hate the 'upgraded' rendering so much in this port. The sharp sector lighting and limited palette are both part of what make build engine games look special. The fancy renderer looks like baby's first unity lighting but with low res textures. Major downgrade imo. Glad it can be switched off. Level commentary is fun though! Also I'm extremely sad that we'll probably never see Shadow Warrior or Blood on Switch.

With all this talk of genesis ports, does the genesis mini have good/lag free-ish emulations on it? Also does mod potential exist? Because adding more games makes it even more appealing to me.
