Re: Games
Only four treasure charts and three pieces of heart to go in Wind Waker. Today I went all the way to the bottom of the Savage Labyrinth and was rewarded with a set of irremovable evil eyes.
Yesterday I finally had a go at all the reefs, and was rewarded with the infuriating discovery that the treasure charts you find there lead you to charts of all the locations of pieces of heart and fairies and octopons and so on. If I'd discovered this the first time I played it then I might actually have finished it 20 years ago. Argh.

Anybody who comes into the n3ta forest will be lost.
Everybody will become a Homfrus.
Everybody, Homfrus.
So, he's not here any more.

i finally played katarami damacy this week, 20 years after it first came out. anyway its great,e ven if the controls are really bloody weird and the camera absolutely infuriating at times (as are the time limits occasionally). but also it's just really nice and charming the rest of the time so i didn't mind
Re: Games
I've mentioned this befo', but I've always really dug Katamari on the Rocks:

Re: Games
Bah! The original PC Dark Forces now has a retro chunky pixel sprite charm to it, whereas the remastered version just looks supremely mediocre.

Re: Games
i can't quite get my head round how you can retroactively apply a recurring licence fee for something the developer literally has no control over (and which presumably they can't even track themselves and unity are free to make up the numbers about)

it's a share scam or something

Re: Games
This week I've been playing subnautica, a survival game based around scuba diving in a vast alien ocean.
Sony gave this away free a couple of years ago (along with the witness and a few others for some reason) and I played a bit of it, died repeatedly, and gave up. But this week I persevered through the opening section (which is both kind of tedious and unhelpfully unclear in explaining its systems), and discovered it's actually really good in places. Nice atmosphere, some lovely moments of wonder as you find new areas, things, monsters, etc.
It's also kind of crappy in lots of other places (lots of resource management, everything's miles away from everywhere else, and there's a necessary base building component that bafflingly frustrating, because for some reason you can never actually seem to build what you want because it's decided the rooms don't fit there, even though you're building in a vast empty ocean)
So anyway despite that it's good for like twenty hours or so of swimming around (and later driving a miniature sub around) finding new and exciting underwater environments. That all look different and are interesting, etc.
Then the final section of the game the new environments are: a volcano, another volcano, more volcano, a base in a volcano, then finally... another volcano, with a base in it. And these areas are too deep for your sub, and the waters too hot to swim in, so you have to walk around in a giant mech suit and you might as well not be underwater at all. Shite

Re: Games
actually it reminds me of xenoblade chronicles x on the wii u, which also had a plot about crash landing on a mysterious alien world, also had a midgame change to needing to use a stupid bloody mech suit all the time, and also decided that after four big exciting increasingly weird and wonderful alien environments to explore, the final area was just a big boring volcano level for hours and hours on end
Re: Games
subnautica? more like sub-par haha
Re: Games
I played Gato Roboto as my post-Zelda palate cleanser game and it was a great choice. approximately three hours of "what if Super Metroid, except you're a cat?" A+++ would recommend
Re: Games
So I slogged through all th ebloody volcanos again and back through them and so on for hours to get all the necessary bits for the final castle, and the final castle involves scanning things for an hour, and then after that hour i went to get back in my mech suit which you need to get back out of the facility really and it had fallen through the floor somehow and disappeared into the void.
Re: Games
is there a simple online app thing for making asteroids style vector line graphics with. there's billions of pixel art things, but i can't find any vector graphics ones (and obviously if you seearch for vector graphics it just brings up hundreds of things based around modern vector graphics stuff which i don't want obviously)

Re: Games
i bought a fist of the north star game today (it was £4, and also its basically just a yakuza game in the yakuza engine, but set in some sort of shit mad max world). anyway, i've never seen or read the original manga/anime/whatever, so i have no idea if it's true to the style of those, but it has by far the absolutely ugliest and proably worst character design i've ever seen in anything
that doesn't even show the full horror (he also has really long legs for some reason, that make up like 75% of his height)
it's kind of amazing really how utterly knacked it is

Re: Games
i only ever played the demo and have procrastinated over getting the full game for 5 years or whatever it is
Yakuza like a Dragon is £10.99 on Steam at the moment which is very tempting

Re: Games
I liked that a lot but it's very long and kind of grindy in places (although not too bad until you each the end, when the post game stuff is so grindy even i couldn't be bothered)
also this fist of the north star game is only £4 something on the PS4 shop at the moment
