I bought pathfinder kingmaker through the steam sale, and a couple of switch games that were on sale. Excited to spend the upcoming months playing old games.

i'm gonna gush about it for a bit without spoiling anything. everything about it is polished to a mirror shine. the art direction is absolutely incredible. all the levels are beautiful and memorable with the music to back it up. the controls are tight and the combat and game mechanics evolve so organically you mostly don't even notice until you start a new game. the metroidvania aspects of it are perfectly done as well, as every person i talked to who played it took a totally different path from everyone else and everyone figured their way was the "correct" order. it's just so so so well done. i've been excited for the sequel but i'm not letting myself get annoyed by their delays because i know it means they're not releasing it until they have something that will be just as good. not really a spoiler but i'm gonna put it behind a spoiler because i think it's best to have this realization on your own: the world is so god damned big as well. i expected it to maybe have four to six 'areas' because hey it's an indie platformer they only have so much resources, right? wrong. the map just. keeps. going. and every new area has just as much care and attention put into it as all the ones before it this game is just about the best example of how much having great art direction vs. just good enough can add to the overall experience. it's so engrossing

i just realised this whole time I thought Hollow Knight was Shovel Knight, which I had also wrongly thought was a Terraria knockoff. Gonna have to give it a look I think... Sweevo fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Nov 28, 2021 |

hollow knight is really, really good and the fact that they patched the game to make the evil mantis lord guy hit twice as hard (and i wanna say have more hp too? dont remember) really sucks, 'cause i couldn't beat him even though i really enjoyed the rest of the game. i was frustrated, but when i found out that they just did a "gently caress you, now he's really hard" patch i kinda lost the will to play i guess there's a cheese strategy that'd take care of him but gently caress that

Jim Silly-Balls posted:also just bought yakuza 0 for cheap as heck. what do I need to know about yakuza games? The Y0 intro song absolutely slaps and you should listen to it The story will swing from ultra serious to campy melodrama and back at the drop of a hat. Just go with it. Unless you're actually in a timed mission, ignore when the game tells you to go somewhere right now and go explore instead. Also I came this close to bouncing off Y0 a couple of hours in because I thought the combat was dull, and then I unlocked beast style and just immediately ended a dude with a bicycle and have been hooked ever since

I like board games but I suck really bad at them until I've played the game multiple times. Meanwhile my wife is a wizard that can win a game the first time she plays it.

there's a sword upgrade guy in the southeast village who's weirdly hard to find for something so important. if a reduction in hits needed per kill doesn't make it bearable, it's probably not for you

Corla Plankun posted:how long should i play hollow knight before i decide it is not for me? i would say after your second boss fight. i feel like the early game is really hard but once you get a feel for it, it flows really well. i bounced off it once really early and then ended up trying again a year or two later and it became one of my favorites of all time.

yeah it’s similar to dark souls in that respect. the combat is really punishing at first but once it ‘clicks’ you’re basically set for the rest of the game. second boss is probably a decent recommendation. also e: also also get used to there not being a ‘clear path’. it’s a metroidvania game so the entire point exploring and being rewarded with combat/mobility upgrades PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Nov 28, 2021 |

It felt a lot like 2D dark souls early on, but I really love dark souls, so it was kind of appealing. Not that I'm like a hardcore "gently caress yeah kick my rear end daddy dark souls" type gamer but I got the impression that it's a similar type of curve, which works for me.
