ExcessBLarg! posted:The silliest part of Dread is when you get a power bomb expansion early it reports "Unknown item" and doesn't actually give you power bombs. Which is a thing because even casual backtracking will reveal a couple of these. I'm okay with this since it means you can pick up a few along the way and go to the final boss with more then the starting amount without a lot of back tracking.

Samus picked up the bullets but not the gun that launches it is how I think of the power bomb

ExcessBLarg! posted:Countepoint: Is early power bombs actually game breaking in anyway? Maybe it makes some cutscenes a bit silly, but I'm not sure it actually changes gameplay in a significant way other than awesome room clearing stuff. It'd mess with the narrative, I think. The EMMIs are carrying a lot of Samus's classic power-ups and I think the impact would be lessened if you could already have power bombs by the time you get to the EMMI who has power bombs. I dunno, it didn't really bother me all that much either way I guess. Finding the "you can't use this yet" items was still like "oh cool I got a thing early" even if I had to wait before I could actually use it.

does metroid dread do the thing that super metroid did where there's like green and orange doors, and you have very limited missiles or bombs or whatnot, and if you're colorblind you're boned bc you can't tell that the door is a new color, and don't have the missiles for a "shoot every door" strategy? nb that i have not played super metroid for a long time so i might not be remembering accurately

Maybe it makes some cutscenes a bit silly, but I'm not sure it actually changes gameplay in a significant way other than awesome room clearing stuff. Finding early power bombs isn't really all that hard - like my first run I got one like, even before I had the item it wanted me to use to get it early. I want to say there's at least one that is particularly easy to stumble into early, like not even back-tracking or sequence breaking, just exploring a side path or something. It feels like any half-inquisitive player will end up with early power bomb expansions. Compare that to early super missile, which you actually gotta a tricky shine spark sequence break.

Seriously though you should be OK even without the map text.

also i think from zero mission on, the different kinds of door barriers look different. and the missile ones only take 1 missile instead of 5.

ExcessBLarg! posted:That's probably true. I think the "Unknown item" thing is basically fan service. Like, when it works, Metroid Dread is generally pretty good about silently guiding you by kinda tricking you into thinking you've discovered the right way forward on your own?

I think there's a point where you get strong enough to just go through it, but the grind is pretty real at the beginning. The fights aren't hard, in that there's not much to actually do, but you can get under-leveled if you don't fight a lot.

I can't believe the game that has been marketed completely as a graphical remake with no new forms, moves, megas, characters or events has no new forms, moves, megas, characters or events.

I guess though, this one is being handled by another dev, so I guess they gotta follow in the footsteps and make the first one they do, the bare minimum.

I’ll wait for more footage to come out before I join the lol train but the gen 4 remakes sound (and look) like giant turds even as someone who went in expecting pretty little Like the vid I saw yesterday is still something I’m pretty sure was a joke because there was at least 20 seconds of a round of battle being taken up by system messages about how much your infernape loves you

TwoHeadedDeer posted:it loving owns Yeah, but that's kind of "the point" of Animal Crossing, isn't it? I'm hoping they add new recipes as time goes on...I know this is being billed as the "last major update", though. "Store upgrades/more stores" and "Night Owl ordinance" were my two main complaints with the base game, so the update adding these would have been enough for me. The gyroids and the cooking are just extra bonuses.

I was out of town for ~3 weeks and didn't have time to keep up with the Nintendo thread. Looks like SMTV isn't out yet but BoI:Repentance finally is. (Finally!) And I suppose the AC update if I want to lose contact with my wife for a while. Anything else newsworthy over the last few weeks?

not even giving you the quality-of-life change of using TMs more than once is pretty lame. There's really no reason to keep that even in a remaster. None of it really surprises me but goddamn lol

Speaking of Binding of Isaac: Repentance, how does the new content work if own a physical copy of the game? Do you pay for it digitally and it acts as DLC?
