I've played Dead Cells for 225 hours so far and I can't really be bothered playing anything else

ten years ago i played skyrim for a hundred hours and could never complete it because the second to last quest was bugged and made it impossible to do. now once again i have played skyrim for a hundred hours and can't complete it because the very same quest is bugged and is now impossible to do.

its okay i went back 20 hours and joylessly ground through everything i'd already done and now i've finished it forever

hooray

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 13, 2021 3:36 pm

it was, inevitably, a huge anticlimax

Post by **Pual** » Mon Dec 13, 2021 4:30 pm

I think I finished the main quest at one point. I have no recollection of events.

you go to valhalla and its exactly the same as skyrim except the plates are made of gold and you can't steal them THE END

Peter Molyneux's NFT Blockchain business simulator game:

Even though I don't really understand it, I'm pretty sure it's dreadful.

the horror

Turn it into a BBC drama like 'Attachments' from 2000-ish(?) and get David Walliams in the Molyneux role!

Oh God...

I bought the cute little Zelda game & watch thing a few weeks ago, and this morning I finally finished the original Zelda on it, for the first time

it was hard

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 3:27 pm

can I be bothered to play Zelda 2 y/n

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:04 pm

Excellent. I have never finished Zelda 1 and never started Zelda 2

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:05 pm

I looked at walkthroughs quite a bit because there are a couple of dungeons where you have to find secret paths by bombing the walls and there's no way to find them other than trial and error. fuck that.

it was quite good though

I was thinking of buying that little zelda machine for my nephews for christmas but in the end i didn't the end

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:23 pm

the most exciting story ever written

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:23 pm

i was also thinking of buying them one of those miniature SNESes thinking they might only cost 50 quid now or something but actually they cost300 quid now

it's very cute and fun but I'm glad I don't have big hands because it'd probably be a nightmare

(I am implying that your nephews are gargantua)

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:26 pm

also I'm looking forward to playing Link's Awakening for the billionth time on it at some point

I watched a YouToob vid 'bout that gizmo. It looks delightful.

I just got this. I have only played it for an hour, but if anything this might well be too hard now. Both the lava and the jungle levels are just impossible, and they're only the second worlds. God knows what comes later

Post by **dng** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 7:45 pm

Infinite instant deaths, probably

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 8:35 pm

Infinite instant deaths - that was me playing Rick Dangerous on the 64.

Post by **dng** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 9:27 pm

spelunky is basically rick dangerous but not terrible

Post by **vom** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 11:10 pm

The jungle level is awful but I haven't had much trouble with the lava levels, despite lava seeming a bit frightening

Post by **vom** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 11:11 pm

it probably is too hard though really. I got as far as unlocking all the shortcuts but then took a break and haven't gone back to it

Post by **dng** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 11:20 pm

i kept falling into it

just finished Thimbleweek Park, the recent-ish Ron Gilbert game

it was quite good, extremely Ron Gilbert

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 26, 2021 2:43 pm

I played an hour or so of sable, which is basically a nice little Zelda game, but without any monsters, and graphics that are essentially by moebius and/or from naussica. It was pretty nice, I liked it

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 26, 2021 2:44 pm

An Xbox exclusive, though, so now presumably I’ll never get to play any of it again

Cel shaded 3D graphics r nice.

That is all.

I can't do this last shortcut at all. how the hell you can get a hired helper man through more than about half a level without him suiciding uselessly is beyond me

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 28, 2021 7:20 pm

also i still don't like it half as much as the first spelunky but i do like the water temple level a lot.

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 28, 2021 7:20 pm

even if those stupid crabs are all annoying as fuck (especially the big crab with the super long arm)

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:59 pm

the hired helpers are pretty infuriating, haha

the final thing required for that shortcut is even more infuriating though
