It's a lot better than the usual MUGEN junk, that's for sure. You say that as though that even cracks the top 10 of absurd fighting game concepts. I don't know if you're going for some weird elaborate April Fools thing here but that is an actual game.

Do people watch game streams for anything besides speed runs? I would try doing one but I don't have the dedication to any one game to play the poo poo out of it for speed runs, and I'm also not some hyperactive screaming rear end in a top hat, which seems to be the only alternative for streamers.

This would be impressive if they hadn't done that exploit at AGDQ that programmed a Mario Maker clone into the game. I would probably still hate it though because gently caress Flappy Bird.

Or was that Heretic 2? I think they made a Heretic 2 at some point. Out of all of those, Heretic is probably the best IMO. Had so much fun beating my neighbor's rear end in that over modem play. Got to play it a couple times on DWANGO too. Hexen multiplayer was poo poo because each class only had like 4 weapons and then you had to find and assemble pieces for a game-breaking fourth weapon.

Since I haven't played the game since the first playthrough, one question just crossed my mind for y'all: At the end of my pacifist run, the flower says something about going back to talk to Undyne I think? Are you supposed to actually go back and find her or is that one of those meta things that carries over to the next playthrough?

Tenzarin posted:Ninja Gaiden Xbox wasn't as good as Ninja Gaiden on the NES. In a weird bit of trivia I learned a while back, the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy was only named that in the US because of the totally unrelated arcade game that came out the year before, and the original Japanese title was "Legend of the Ninja Dragon Sword." Then, when the arcade game was later released in Japan, they changed its name to match the title of the Japanese NES games (despite the fact that you don't really use swords much in the arcade game). Then when they made the Xbox series, they just called it Ninja Gaiden everywhere because they made the game with Western appeal in mind. Hope you enjoyed this video game history lesson.

I can't think of too many great 3d exploration-based games that did it first-person, though I'm fine with being corrected. Not sure what you mean by "fully 3d" but there have been a couple good isometric / 3/4 angle metroidish games. Ys Origin on pc and Scurge:Hive on GBA/ds come to mind.

IShallRiseAgain posted:They seriously forced the terrible ribbon UI for windows explorer? Ugh, that is horrible and dumb. I still hate that you have to use it for office products. I feel absolutely filthy defending Microsoft here, but you can get rid of the explorer ribbon by literally just right clicking it and selecting "Minimize the Ribbon" and then you never have to see it again. There are similar controls to hide all the other extra junk they've added to Explorer windows over the years. It's hardly something worth getting worked up over, I get more annoyed having to go into the folder settings and turn on file extensions when I do a new install.

I realized the other day that I got through like half of Paper Mario like a year ago and put it down and never came back to it, so I've been playing through the rest over the last couple of days. It's good and enjoyable, but I think a lot of the more annoying aspects are blocked out by peoples' nostalgia filters. Golden Goat posted:I never played Shadowgate, was the Steam version any use?

Finished Paper Mario last night. It was pretty fun overall, although the special bounce attacks basically break the game. The only things I didn't really like about it were that the action timing seemed kind of wonky sometimes (don't know how much of that is due to VC timing inaccuracies) and that most of the music was really, really bad. It sounded like someone using a midi program for the first time and just noodling around. A lot of music in N64 games seem to be that way and I don't understand why after how good the music was in most SNES games. Anyway, guess it's time to find a copy of The Thousand Year Door, so I can keep pretending I don't have a steam list of games I haven't played yet numbering near the hundreds.
