I spoiled myself with a game treat and bought the game Tunic. It's a fine game. It is a cross between Zelda and Dark Souls. I had quite some fun but oh boy it is hard. Thankfully there is an accessibility option to make it easy. I used it only two times because my thumbs were already hurting enough and I didn't want to start a boss fight 100 times over. It is best to get into the game blind. I do admit that I looked up stuff at the end of the game because the puzzles to get the true ending are hard as heck and I have a life beyond that game.

@scribus It looks damn good but I'm not really in a mood for a brawler. Back in the day I played more Power Rangers The Movie on SNES because I didn't have Turtles in Time (only played as a rental at a friend's house).

Playing Metal Gear Solid again... I bodyslammed Meryl while she was disguised because I recognized her walk cycle and I wanted to see what would happen. Nothing happens, she just sprints into her next cutscene to prevent you from impeding her any further. And then she still claims to have gotten the jump on you.

@scribus This is why I always enjoyed the mostly-unscripted nature of the later Fallouts & Elder Scrolls. New Vegas particularly introduces you to a major antagonist (or ally, if you choose to go that route...) fairly early on, while you’re on your way to a story quest, and you can just let him do his thing, or, if you have the firepower, you can just FrankerZin shoot him and he won’t appear again for the rest of the game. (And then you can shoot his replacement later, too!)

@thismightbeauser I am NOT tracing sprites, I am "taking" "inspiration!" lol (Actually got a lot from Sweet Home for the Famicom)

@scribus So a 'All Summer Long' to 'Sweet Home Alabama' or more of a 'Ice Ice Baby' to 'Under Pressure' kinda thing ?

@adiwan "expensive to buy" . Never write something right after waking up before doing anything else.

@adiwan This here: http://www.infiniteneslives.com/nesmaker.php They have a kit with a board, cartridge shell, and the flasher-device-thing, and it's supposed to be basically a one-button procedure with the NESMaker software. I'm sure I'll end up with both devices, anyway. Haha Just trying to decide for today. Probably will end up putting it off until I have a job again...
-
@scribus I'd get an Everdrive first because it seems to be a more versatile tool. I read that there is an unofficial firmware for the Everdrive that supports the mapper of NESMaker games.

@scribus My grandparents have a NES, and I have a SNES from Dad, so I feel strongly that it wouldn't be quite the same.

@thismightbeauser ahem. Yeah, genuine hardware is its own experience.

I just remembered For Honor. The video game where you could live out your fantasy of being a knight and play with a sword. Alternatively a Viking or ?Samurai? if you were one of 'those' people.
I would really like a game like that on the Nintendo Switch, but focused on couch-play instead of whatever For Honor's main aim was.Wednesday, 17-Apr-19 23:04:15 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony I just stumbled across a documentary (?) on Netflix about that game! Have yet to watch it, and never played, but the concept sounds neat. !vgp !movies
-
@scribus It was a great concept, but the lack of dedicated servers (Meaning P2P networking, with the game selecting the fastest 'node' as host, like with CoD on the XboX360, a thing that everypony and everyhuman hated) lack of balance, and dishonourable killings in a game called 'For Honor' ultimately brought nothing but toxicity. There even was a day-of-infamy, orchestrated by Reddit, to have a day of NOT playing the game trying to make the dev's aware that the game had huge problems.

Damn Korok seeds. I cannot find them and I NEED more item storage for weapons.

@scribus I'm powering through the main quests and I don't find many of those Korok seeds to increase my inventory space. Since I don't find any (because I'm not exploring much) it's a struggle to keep a good stock of good weapons. I haven't any problems that I didn't have any but it's a small struggle.

@scribus Tragic! Very tragic. That's one of my favorite NES games. It's so good that I have it twice! The one with Mike Tyson and the other with Mr Dream. Only Road Fighter is slightly above that but more for nostalgic reasons than for its gameplay (because it is very flawed). I played it on a clone Famicom at my grandparent's when I was young.

@adiwan I'm hoping, because the 6 lost games are alphabetically close(ish), that they're just in a box from the last time I moved, but I don't know where the box would be. Never heard of Road Fighter.

@adiwan Matter of fact, I have my NES still hooked up with the RF box on an HD TV and it's not noticable to me. I wonder if my cheap TV actually has integrated some kind of fix or other....

I think I'll make an RTS wherein you play a group of American patriotic Second Amendmenteers and the AI is the American military. Helpful splash screens while loading will say things like "Remember to aim your AR-15 ahead of the incoming ICBM" and "Napalm burns much more intensely than a normal Molotov cocktail." !vgp
