My friend made me play a bunch of VR games on his Vive and the best one was this ping pong sim in a brick walled loft apartment that he told me was built with photogrammetry of a real brick walled loft apartment.
Google Earth was pretty good but you can’t push forward / back along the road in street view come on google get your shit together.
Actually there’s also the GBA version, Calciobit I think it’s called. It’s JP only, but the 3DS game’s all icons so it should be just fine. I can explain those for you if needed. And if they’re the same~
Dunno the differences. Though it won’t have the neat online mode.
I finished Opoona! I think that probably took about 30 hours because I hate myself and kept doing things I didn’t enjoy. That is a game with some cute world ideas and a bunch of terrible design decisions. I’m pretty sure without the padding (the ukelele license side quest literally asks you to practice outside, then go home and sleep, then repeat…FIFTY TIMES. I actually skipped that quest but jesus.) it might be a fifteen hour game. My unbridled curiosity for finding the interesting bits hidden away in mediocre games will eventually kill me.
I beat Kero Blaster the other night and I think it might be a minor masterpiece. Much has already been said about Amaya’s work and I don’t think I could contribute anything new to the conversation but I am always emotionally wrecked by his games for some reason.
This one song made me sad:
Finding myself ready for some corny 3d blastertrek I began a Transformers game from 2010
It is not better than the last corny 3d blastertrek I worked through (Space Marine) but I do like how difficult it hasn’t been this evening
Opoona has one of the best and least mentioned game soundtracks of like the past decade or two
I remember when Kero Blaster was announced many moons ago and I lost my teenage mind. That dude will forever be one of my favorite solo developers
Did you…play it again?
@Rudie Only once so far but I’m really looking forward to starting Zangyou Mode soon. I hear there’s some more plot stuff and that makes me super happy.
is space marine at all cool
Space Marine rules. It absolutely gets straight to the heart of the fascistic nihilism that makes 40k cool, has one of the best female characters ever, and has a really great and balanced mechanical hook (it’s a coverless TPS where you have to melee to get your health back).
kero blaster should probably be canonized imo, it’s fuckin beautiful
Looking forward to the SB dreamboat calendar next year.
On a whim I cleaned all of the gunk, most of it likely skin, from a PS2 controller’s grooves using a flathead eyeglass/watch screw and it was the most satisfying thing I’ve done that involved a videogame in years
Apart from the smart health regeneration mechanic it’s pretty dull IMO.
That and Opoona (topical!) are the most tedious games SB has recommended me : (
If you’re still in Gears mode you might get something out of it though?
If you wanna just Steam-family-library-share-whatever-it’s-called my copy LMK. Would be good to figure out how that works one day.
Yeah, I do this every now and then with a knife or some stiff paper and it rules. Little grot-ribbons.
Toothpicks
Yeeeh I echo this really, though I seem to recall the level design being a little too spacious (good for filling with heaps of orks, not so interesting in their absence)
This TF game has a kind of claustrophobic streak to its maps which I don’t hate at all, but it’s not got anything as immediately mechanically sensible as the combat regen thing
Wouldn’t mind a Space Marine 2 at all
I remember some good times with the TF games by High Moon. They did a respectable job nailing that feeling of choosing between vehicle and bot mode for movement and weapon choices. I should go back and finish those two games.
