if you played m1a1 in a version before aleph one restored the original puzzle it’s like 500 times easier

oh the restored the original puzzle? i was confused as to why they struggled when it was so much easier in the version i played, so this makes more sense

there were versions of aleph one where the puzzle was solved for you already even. that level has been through a lot of revisions but iirc when they switched to using the actual original marathon files they reverted the puzzle to its original state.

Spent some time messing with Gato Roboto. It’s not the first time I’ve tried it, but I was trying to remember why I dropped it every time I did, booted it up, and got hit with:
- The bad joke about the planet coordinates being “4…2…0…6…9.”
- That first surprisingly tough boss fight.
Got past those things and…it’s fine. The humor never really gets better, but the game itself is alright. Got excited that I might be able to sequence break (and maybe could, if I dedicated myself) by abusing the sort of missile wall bounce mechanics. Do like that the fire button is just a meow-on-demand button when you’re out of the suit.

I frankly don’t have it in me to make a long post about Blue Dragon. I played it for about six hours. The game consisted of kicking rocks hoping the next rock would finally make me happy. It did not.

John Woo’s Stranglehold? That’s a hell of a video game. Glad I decided to buy it at a Seattle Goodwill six years ago after the first meetup. That was a good decision. Just does about everything right. Chow Yun Fat looks so fucking handsome. The clothes are great. Everyone is smoking. Just A Real Video Game. And a better representation of Hong Kong than Slitterhead. Take that Slittterhead.

Dipped back into Ring Fit. It would be so so good if only (1) the leg strap was better and (2) you didn’t have to calibrate before every exercise. It’s still a solid warmup though, takes me from “I don’t want to do anything” to “OK I guess I’ll lift weights or ride my bike or something.”
I have zero interest in buying Switch 2 accessories at the moment, but if they can make a similar game for the camera I might be down for that.

oh yeah, this is one of the best 3rd person shooters imo. the only time I’ve set the controller down and clapped after a level. tony hawk meets Max Payne. Design led by a pinball designer. its fucking great

I couldn’t stand Gato Roboto because it has one of the most by-the-numbers Metroidvania designs I’ve ever seen. Traps you in a medium-sized space, find an upgrade to progress to the next area, over and over. Look I basically like the Metroidvania formula but they need to vary it up and surprise me a little.
EDIT: I deleted this post because I had second thoughts about being a hater, but since Grandpa saw it anyway, I guess I’ll undelete it before it vanishes

I saw your post in my email and I just wanted you to know I agree! It does feel extremely basic, and that the “get out of the suit and try to get past enemies without getting hit” bits feel like the freshest thing it’s got to offer.
