Games You Played Today Classic Mini

Blaster Master Zero 2 got announce-released yesterday, and I guess I bought it.

Area B is, of all things, an extended reference to Ikki.

Baba is You is Good and Fun

You know what Baba is You is reminding me of? Jelly no Puzzle. It has the same feeling of ā€˜I just made a miracle happen’ when solving the puzzles.

I was so lukewarm on the first one. this one seems to have some vaguely interesting ideas but they all seem kind of gimmicky. how do you feel about it so far?

You almost need VR or a 4th screen with Elite just so you can simultaneously watch Youtube tutorials on how to land/scan/mine/collect/jump etc.

I figured out how to be a tour bus.

I crashed baba is you by spawning too much ice and then accidentally making it pushable

I accidentally turned on free look and had no idea how to fix it.

Started watching tutorials while at work and kind of excited to get more into this game. The exploration aspect looks wild but I dunno if I want to get into that kind of risky work just yet…

I’ve completed roughly 125 levels in Baba is you (took 17 hours) and the game keeps throwing fun new words at a decent pace.

I’ve actually burst out laughing a few times, which usually never happens when playing videogames! I won’t spoil anything but the game’s playfulness reminds me of learning how to steal in Link’s awakening + getting vaporized by the shopkeeper + getting Link’s name changed to THIEF forever

I can’t deny that it’s sometimes hard to keep staying motivated though. Finishing a puzzle that took 20 minutes and getting rewarded with the same level except with one crucial word removed is very cute, but overwhelming

Plug for one of my very favorite youtubers, who plays ED with flight assist off, has a good sense of humor, is a brilliant pilot, and uses subtitles to preserve the distant spaciness of the game’s atmosphere:

I pretty much just picked this particular vid at random, watch them all I say

I’m at 113 levels and 10 hours but I’ve found the main island puzzles harder than ???, Depths, and Meta. I definitely grinned and spammed a discord with ā€˜holy shit’ when I turned a level into baba the first time

This whole thing was riveting! Thank you!

Man, I really am enjoying Ketsui DEATHTINY (the best title), but it is hard as heck. But so much fun once you get even a modicum of flow going.

Also as I am one of the few Switch players that didn’t buy Splatton 2 (I do have the WiiU original) the free demo this week is fun and making me debate buying that again.

well, since I got that xbox game pass free month thing for forza horizon, I decided I may as well install sea of thieves.

it’s, uhh, pretty

I don’t get a single thing about it. I don’t know why you would ever play it by yourself. this doesn’t even feel like a game that was designed. it’s like a bunch of robots got handed an asset farm and they spun it around in circles until this popped out.

Mega Man 11 on ā€œSuperheroā€ is somewhat joyless. the difficulty spike results from the fact that there are no item drops. this…is not fun? the bosses, however, have new patterns, and that is fun, but i don’t know if those two things balance each other.

I want it in English! (I know there’s barely a difference since it’s a STG but I don’t want to mess with a Japanese PSN account)

If you import the disc copy, you can just play with your US account and it comes with all the additional DLC. This is like 50 bucks including shipping from Prime.

The menus and such are still in Japanese, but that’s not hard to deal with.

Given that the third ShotTrigger game still hasn’t been localized, I wonder if Ketsui will ever happen.
