@boojiboy7 and @Father.Torque both duck behind cover far too much which is cheating and banned as such by the geneva convention

Itās not called Super Cool for a reason!
From what I can gather there are aspects of the porting that are inaccurate compared to the original version, and for those that are familiar with said original it is rather noticeable and annoying. I personally have only passing familiarity with R-Type (I screwed around with it in MAME a decade or so back) so none of that really bugs me.
I played R-Types immediately afterwards and nothing dramatic jumped out, but said version seemed to cut off the very top and bottom of the stages and did not let you play any stage of your choosing so Iāll likely stick with the Generations version. Most people who have both do seem to agree with you though.
Oh shit, I am all in for this. If we can get some new levels none of us have played, and we canāt watch each other play them, that would make it even better. Get some true SUPER. HOT. action.
Hey, the one level that was getting you had no cover at all, and therefore, I ducked behind nothing to beat it. I just dodged a lot of bullets and later found out the joy of the PURE HAMMER, the One True Super Hot weapon.
been playing battlefield 1 as my timewasting shooter and when itās fun itās really fun, but if I play it for too long I get really annoyed at the weapon inaccuracy
roommate bought a copy too so we could play together and that has been very enjoyable. idc if it requires two consoles two tvs and two copies of the game, Iām still gonna couch co-op
when he first got it we had to deal with this though:
I said a lil bit ago that Iād platinum horizon zero dawn, and I did. abt 4 days after I got it. the combat wasnāt as deep as I had hoped and I wish the world had been as varied as the first two areas made it seem like it would be, but despite that it made 100%ing an open world game pretty enjoyable which is high praise. Iāll probably try the dlc next year but rn the thought of more snow areas makes my brain numb.
I got guilty gear xrd just because the art is sick, and fuck this game is so fkn intricate. Iām playing through arcade mode with everyone to see who feels good to play as and I think millia might be it for me, but I still have a couple of characters to go. I donāt think Iāll ever be good at it, but itād be cool to be able to knock out a lot of the single player stuff. plus I bought sign instead of revelator so thereās nobody to play with online anyway
I keep wanting to play pokemon but then I keep remembering how easy it is and it puts me off. trying to decide between playing final fantasy vii and final fantasy ix. I bought demons souls because I have tried to beat it on three separate occasions and gave up each time, but Iāve soloed every boss in every souls game (except yharnam bc I didnāt know she existed) besides this one so Iām determined to finally have this one under my belt too. havenāt started yet though.
i wanna play nier and then nier atomato, I thought about playing the drakengard games first but Iām trying to be good to myself and love myself so instead I just watched plot summaries of the drakengard games on youtube. the person who made them was pretty gross and I gave a thumbs down to every video
I fell in love with Gran Turismo sport when I played the beta but after putting 60 hours or so into it and 100%ing the single player stuff I need more content and Iām bored of it which is really disappointing
I think that trophies/achievements are a wonked invention but Iāve been having a really hard time focusing on stuff without exterior guidance lately, and using trophies as goals and milestones to reach during my game-playing-time has been helping me focus more and relax.
I like playing video games

I am so bad at Puyo that itās making me want to quit playing
A few weeks ago a Japanese PP2 player called me āD+/C-ā rank and in PuyoVS my ranking dropped from 900 to 675
I miss when my interest in this game was āOh boy, a cool puzzler!ā instead of āGod damn it I split my piece and completely flubbed a harassment that cost me the few frames it would have taken to finish my tail and perfectly counter my opponentā
donāt ever get good at any games

Thereās a level later on with 3 dudes with pistols facing you, they donāt run up on you to get in melee range, and you only get 3 knives. So I took one in each hand and started chopping up bullets Edward Scissorhands style

So many moments in that game are just FUCK YES I CAN moments.
I think you used a man for cover which is still cover and still banned under INTERNATIONAL SLOW MOTION WAR LAW

That is in the PC version. In the VR version, you just gotta duck a lot and get up fast on the center guy and grab his gun before the second series of shots get fired.
It seems like yāall had a Vive, but Robo Recall is also a great VR game for looking and feeling cool. The best action is plucking projectiles (which travel abnormally slow for the sake of cognizability) out of the air to throw back. The rest of the game goes at maybe 2/3 the speed of a console FPS so it can be upsetting and overwhelming in a way Superhot isnāt.
The stage 7 checkpoint in R-Type is bullshit of the highest order. Fortunately Dimensions gives you the option to restart at the beginning of a stage if you decide to continue (I am not a shmup master, so if I can finish within two continues I feel that is fair according to old NES rules) which feels like half a cheat, but I must have tried playing from that checkpoint almost a hundred times and I did not reach the boss once. As a point of comparison, if I start from the beginning of the stage and can make it to that same point Iāll make it to said boss about fifty percent of the time.

Finally beat my birthday tradition of Sonic 2 on the plane back.
It was the IOS version. The touch screen controls were hateful garbage. Only reallly a problem in Flying Batteryās boss. And Mystic Ruins boss because you couldnt see the fucking screen.
Getting to see Hidden Palace was an absolute treat. Hiding it in The Pit from Mystic Cave was a scream.

Tried a bit of Binary Domain. Kind of sad that itās a cover shooter. The character mobility is pretty good, and if you could dodge freely the same way you can dodge out of cover, itād be great. Unfortunately it sort of forces you to stay behind cover. Thinking of going for normal difficulty instead so I can actually enjoy mobility and be more aggressive, since itās not like on the hardest difficulty itās particularly hard: as long as you stay behind cover and play popamole, itās fine, just tedious.
Cover shooters are sad.

You ever play the Wanted game? Itās not very good but I really wish that was the direction cover shooters had taken.

player unknownās battlegrounds is just so good. oh my, i just adore it. i canāt play anything else nowadays!
boy,
the thrill of āhunting and being huntedā! the solid shooting! the factor of luck! all these weird people from all around the world you end up playing with by doing auto-matched squads! so so so good.
i suck a lot at it and the game runs like garbage / has a lot of seemingly unfixable bugs on my notebook.
still though!
I was telling people about this at SBCon, aside from the ill-advised slow-mo sequences I thought the game was pretty snappy
bullet curving??
