its good in the sense that it works and looks good. its meh in the sense that most of the game is tedious side "quests" and the main story is like 4 hours long (and very dumb for plot reasons and also several car based boss fights)

Ori and the Blind Forest is a pretty real good Metroidvania, although I don't think it has anything in the way of sequence breaking. It's less freeform than the genre is in general but it makes up for it.

in Valdis Story if you get hit by anything in the middle of a jump, you stop in mid-air and fall

now take that design and imagine a lot of platforming, a bunch of "get here before time runs out" rooms, and projectiles flying everywhere

if it's on the ps4 you might be able to stream it to a Vita right?

E: also maybe pandora + steam streaming might be a thing that exists

It got published by MS so it's almost certainly not coming to PS4, or now that I think about it, 3DS or Vita, at least anytime soon. I'll just have to settle with playing it on PC at some point.

Cave Story rules but if anybody is newly playing it you should look up how to get the true ending/secret area either on your first or second playthrough because one of the triggers for it (ignoring the injured Dr. Booster instead of talking to him) is the kind of incredibly stupid thing nobody would just think to try on their own

Also make a save beforehand because the required jump to do so is so pixel-perfect that the dev even put a special tile with a straight-up red line at the point you are supposed to jump.

Playing his older games just makes you appreciate Kojima even more. I like the conversation in Snatcher where you can call a phone sex line and they use Gillian's inability to speak beyond PG-level innuendo to prove to him that he's stuck in a video game.

RIP that one lovely third-party controller that you only owned because the store bundled it in with the console/game you wanted and all your friends fought over who was stuck with every time you busted out Mario Party.

"Mad Catz has been running a string of operating losses, with the last postiive operating income reported for fiscal year 2011."

2011 was when I bought my 360 controller for PC. It's still doing great, but I'll admit that it's the only quality Madcatz controller I've had my entire life. I only bought it because the store I went to was out of Microsoft's version.

Also that's not how you spell positive gamer news site!

Only thing I had from the 'katz was a n64 RF connector and it was a piece of loving poo poo that would bleed colors and cause the sound to clip.

All of those rich colors in mischief makers and mystical ninja? Washed the gently caress out because I had to turn the saturation down to see anything. All the explosions in turok and GoldenEye? Unbearably crackly unless I turned the TV down to inaudible volumes.

I was smart enough to not buy their controllers at least, but none of my friends were.

so long you piece of poo poo :patriot:

Their fighting sticks are really good, which surprised me when I was looking for one.

Ofcourse, I bought a Hori fight stick in the end. RIP MadCatz.

Is there any point in continuing to level up my Lancers and Engineers in Valkyria Chronicles? Now that my Scouts are level 11 they double as good Shocktroopers, and now that my Shocktroopers are level 11 they double as decent Lancers, and I feel like I only ever use Engineers once every couple of chapters to repair my tank or... repair my tank twice.

I had a SNES controller that was also compatible with the Genesis (:iiam:) and it was great because all the buttons had different TURBO SPEED options.

it even had a "slow motion" switch that would just rapid-fire the Start button! (it was awful lmao)

There's nothing special about me.
So, that King's Quest game might be basically made on stolen money from the Homestuck Adventure Game Kickstarter.

Take it with a grain of salt, I suppose- it's at least partly secondhand info but I know this person and I trust them enough to not believe they'd lie about this sort of thing.
It's a miracle the homestuck game doesn't look like complete garbage, with this info in mind.
