Pretty good posted:Wet Dry World is the 90s-est Nintendo thing and for that reason alone it is supreme. Yeah I mean tbh every part of that game fills me with joy and it's a masterpiece and I can't be mad at it Also thanks to this thread I got Death Road to Canada and it's been an absolute blast to play with my roommates. 9/10 my only gripe is that the player-to-character binding easily gets shifted around and we've lost a couple of runs due to everyone mistakenly walking into a scrum of zombies

The only tiny thing I don't like about hades is that when orpheus is singing in the house of hades and you enter your bedroom, they slap a lowpass filter on the music without better shaping it and changing the reverb so it actually sounds like it's coming from down the hallway in a different room. As a sound designer it just itches at my ear. I mean, it's a teeny tiny inconsequential thing in an otherwise fantastic game. If it wasn't so well-polished in ever other way I probably wouldn't notice

Be prepared for your soldiers to die. They are but tears in the rain. Also, abuse every advantage you have: overwatch and grenades when possible, also concealment for optimum positioning. Don't worry too much if u get caught by surprise by mechanics and enemy abilities. There's no Shane in save spamming especially while you're still getting the hang of how to play optimally. Have fun!

Bug Squash posted:Be careful with Overwatch! It can be a real noob trap as it causes the enemy to be less likely to move, and more likely to shoot. In a lot of cases that makes you more likely to die. Use it when an enemy is very likely to move (eg. They're melee, out of cover, or can't see you). Excellent points! Mitigating risk is the main thing. Play the percentages, always expect that you might miss an easy shot or that the energy might crit an unlikely one. I neglected to say that overwatch abuse has to synergize with enemy movement, thanks. I usually have most of my squad back out of range, and draw the monsters into their death using a runner (backed up with remote heals and aid protocols)

Bug Squash posted:All of my stored XCOM knowledge is starting to flow back like a Nam flashback reading this! Teenage memories of XCOM: Terror From the Deep haunt me still. Reluctantly clicking on a terror mission knowing that half my squad won't make it back. The screams of the civilians, the humming of Deep Ones. The nighttime. Hyrule warriors is kinda fun because it feels like I have a whole BotW playset and I'm just smashing Link into bokoblins and laughing like a child

Silver Falcon posted:I'm going to save you bit of trouble. Heat resistance that game is not the same as fire resistance. Heat resistance is what you want for tooling around the desert. Fire is what you find on Death Mountain. For fire resistance, vague spoiler to give you an idea of where to look try asking around the stables at the foot of Death Mountain. On my first playthrough I didn't know the difference, and instead of following what literally everyone at the base of the mountain was telling me I said "gently caress it" and ran to Goron City eating a meal every 30 seconds. I just love picturing that in my mind. Think of the cramps.

Callback to the discussion a few pages ago, my wife and I fell in love with Hades in large part because of its resemblance to another fine and horny game. Dunno who else to show this picture to, so here ya go, you horny goons!

Congrats! The crystal beam is savage, especially with the extra demeter upgrade boons and artemis duo upgrade. Brutal. I was reluctant to add heat too, but once I started playing with it it was fun to adjust play style and try to balance the risk v reward for more titan blood etc Tip: give extreme measures lvl 1 a try regardless

Am I the only one who likes them horses without the instant summon? I liked the way it added to my favorite aspect of the game, where everyday stuff becomes a mini quest in it's own right. I've been playing master mode on and off with a No Horse Left Behind mentality and it's really fun (to me). But then I'm also in the "still climbing them mountains just to watch the sunset" gang

Wrestling Empire is just  My fledgling wrestler was backing up his coach in a prize match and set fire to the arena accidentally, incapacitating himself. After the match, someone paid him $100 to beat up another wrestler in the back room with a steel pipe. It's like dwarf fortress but with wrestlers

Science_enthusiast posted:Wrestling Empire is increadible but I sure wish that the main song wasnt what it is. The rest of the music is great. Yeah the main song gets on my nerves fast. I'm trying to just think of it as part of the janky ambience, imagining a 2000s rap-metal band from the boonies who legitimately thinks this is the most intense wrestling realness and their career is gonna pop off along with their proprietary vape blend thanks to MDickie Actually now that I say it out loud i kinda wish them the best I haven't figured out how to counter, and also, how do you tag out your teammate when you're both human players? I keep having to switch my player to cpu when my wife needs to tag out (and vice versa)

Science_enthusiast posted:The song is growing on me unfortunately. I can confirm that tagging in is done by walking towards your partner when they are standing on the edge of the ring (as of you wanted to walk out). I'm starting to suspect that to fully immerse myself in the game I'll have to regularly switch the character I'm controlling so that I can play out the wrestling script I'm imagining... Like, it's not about winning with my wrestler all the time, but rather putting on a good show for the fans and watching the rivalries and hilarious drama play out

blackguy32 posted:Bought Wrestling Empire and I'm kind of disappointed at the defensive options. But the main thing against it is the obtusiveness of a lot of stuff about it. Is there a manual anywhere for it? Someone linked to it earlier, it's on the MDickie website It doesn't cover absolutely everything in detail but for better or worse that fits with the game's janky charm. It's definitely frustrating to get pummeled and sometimes the cpu just never even gets it over with and pins you. I was even trying to lose because my boss told me to!

Penguin Patrol posted:I believe Newbie Nate is the only character that's fully customizable with name/appearance/etc. I don't think that was explained anywhere in the game, but someone in my stream last night helped direct me to him. In my experience you can go to Edit Mode and change anyone's name and build and costume etc as long as they aren't your current career character (who has to pay to change their gimmick in game). The only thing i haven't figured out how to change is skin tone!?

Potentiometers will always fail, eventually. Unless they're super fancy they measure position by scraping a bit of conductive material against a pad of conductive material. All that scrapin' gonna git ya

We came across a free couch co-op game today that i haven't seen mentioned yet. It's, uh, a PETA production!? Called Kitten Squad, and it's a mix between a mediocre cartoon twin stick shooter and watercolor cutscenes with graphic depictions of animal cruelty. Kinda worth it just for the absurdity. Plus it's 4 player!

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:So I never really got into apex so I dunno how it stacks up compared to other versions but it's really loving weird the gyro aiming only works on the y axis and there's no options around gyro aiming at all as far as I can tell. Given that's the only reason to bother playing a shooter game on switch Im gonna pass. There are options in the settings under "motion control". It works in both axes for me seemed fine maybe it's because I bought a switch pro

I'm sad that Mario 35 is gone now. My wife really liked it and was getting really good at it and I loved watching her play after work. She dropped the mic and retired a day early after she finally achieved maximum Lakitu, surfing along the clouds level after level. It was beautiful and I'll never forget it.

A couple of quick reviews, don't remember seeing these ones mentioned: PHOGS! Only played the demo so far 2 player (or 1p2c) coop game where you play as two ends of a sausage dog. You can bark, you can do 4 emotes, and you can stretch your sausage body very long. Which end poops? It depends! Some puzzles involve becoming a water hose by biting a faucet with one head and barfing water out the other. You can also eat giant popcorns and steal pizzas. It's like a more constrained, more adorable version of Human Fall Flat. Spouse and I laughed all the way through the demo. I could see this being a great choice for kids. Chill, easy and fun. Thief Simulator Picked it up for $2.50 and we're so happy we did. It's exactly the kind of janky bullshit that I had hoped for, and so much more. It's like someone really earnestly wanted to make a simulation of being a burglar, and had a lot of bright ideas, but just didn't have the chops to pull it all together. Drive around in your hatchback, creep on households to learn their patterns, steal valuables like pots and pans and vases! Spend 2 minutes opening and closing your car door because you can't figure out the interface! Don't sell all the loot though---save some for your swanky thief hideout. Yes, as it ends up you can decorate your home! I'm still learning more as I go. Just unlocked agility lvl 1, which allows me to throw bricks! Can't wait.

Morpheus posted:Feel the same way. I bought it for like a dollar and, yeah, someone really wanted to make a burglary game and just had a budget of like twenty bucks and a pizza, but all in all it's pretty fun, and surprisingly tense when your in a house with someone else trying to grab whatever you can, hoping they don't leave the living room. It's giving me shades of mdickie in terms of "I already wrote this code for the last game, so why not?" And yes I hang stolen art on my thief walls and I refused to sell my Yomaha Acoustic Guitar on Black Bay. I need it to relax before sleeping on my thief couch after a day of thieving!

Lodin posted:Like I said earlier, it's published by PlayWay who already have great games like Car/Truck/Train/Plane/Tank/Mars Rover and Mech Mechanic Simulator. As far as I know they all use the exact same engine and systems for taking stuff apart so it makes total sense that they slapped it in here as well. Ah thanks for the background info! Now I'm actually excited for the next game. I'm hoping for something like "facilities management at a large tech campus simulator".
