Games You Played Today Part 007 Goldeneye

always thought it was funny that the decomposition on that guy made it look like he had a cape, as if some ghosts and goblins dickhead tried to fight kraid

Kraid would be an easy boss for Super Ghouls n Ghosts tbh

what i mean is i thought the junkoid games were cute, and thatā€™s all fine, but getting some light monster grossness (admittedly only castlevania level) makes it more fun for me

but yeah, itā€™s the same and different from super metroid, which iā€™ve already played through twice

landed the space shuttle. the kiosk has three levels ā€œpitch onlyā€ ā€œpitch and rollā€ and ā€œno fearā€ . i did the middle difficulty. you basically point the fucking nose at the ground and pull up at the last second.

there was a lunar lander game in another part of the museum and when you crash the lunar lander tumbles comicly across the surface of the moon while pots and pans clanging sound effects play. highly comedic

I got the 1cc today. What a wonderful sense of relief.

Iā€™d basically mastered stage 3 since our posts and was fairly consistently getting to stage 4 without having taken a hit and having used only 2 bombs. But the pressure really got to me, and I would often perform somewhat inadequately on stage 4, and then even worse on stage 5. My heartbeats would become these heavy, hard thumps, and my fingers would get sweaty. Iā€™d always be wiping my fingers and analogue sticks on my shirt between levels to stop them being slippery.

Hereā€™s the replay recorded on my phone. I didnā€™t commentate lol I just wanted to sip my beer and relax.

Some brief notes:
I died 2 stupid deaths in stage 3 which I think actually allowed me to relax. I wasnā€™t even thinking of it as a proper run anymore, I was just letting my lives run out basically. Then I died another bad death in stage 4. I always destroy the first dragonflyā€™s head, but I guess this time I let the popcorn enemies distract me for just a bit too long, and so I wasnā€™t used to the head still being there and I just flew straight into it. Then in stage 5 I dropped an unnecessary bomb and died a dumb death that demonstrates the problem with my running along the wall method of killing the big bullet-cancelling enemies: if you move up too quickly you have nowhere left to go. I ended up making it to the final boss with decent resources, though I wasnā€™t stressed at all cause Iā€™d made so many silly mistakes. And I honestly think I dodged the last boss pretty well!

Anyway Iā€™m very happy to have achieved this. Itā€™s my first 1cc of what I would consider a legitimate shooting game. I know mushi original is basically designed to be a gateway game for the real shit but itā€™s still a pretty fucken difficult game.

Nowā€¦ whatā€™s next

thatā€™s awesome! good shit. i havenā€™t gotten to play it as much as i want but iā€™m still recording games. iā€™ve been doing some stage-specific practice and i feel like iā€™m getting closer even though a lot of my games go to shit in the same way it sounds like a lot of yours did. with a little luck i could do it at my current skill level, or i could just get slightly more consistent or i could be less stubborn with my bombs.

in theory iā€™m better at 4 and 5 than i used to be, but itā€™s still very easy for me to make mistakes.

such a satisfying game, though. when you dodge a particularly complex or fast pattern it feels like youā€™re seeing the matrix. the most fun i have is when i feel like iā€™m barely in control.

Played a little of Humanity last night. The soundtrack really stood out to me. It sounds a lot like my favorite Battles record, La Di Da Di.

And given that a battles song was so prominent in peopleā€™s memories of Little Big Planet, it lends this game another wrinkle in the suit that makes it look exactly like one of those iconic PSN-era indie games from the early PS3 days. Itā€™s also pretty fun too.

iā€™m almost embarrassed to admit that i picked up and am playing skyward sword hd and that iā€™m actually having a pretty good time with it. i dropped the wii one super-fast back in the day, but iā€™m enjoying swinging my sword around with the right stick.

taekwondo kicks ass

it does! iā€™m becoming more and more a fan of these kind of low-scale 2d combat sports games. i was being totally sincere when i said that the dojo masters trailer looked like a game iā€™ve imagined making/playing for a long time

I havenā€™t played any games, but I did start pre-installed Armored Core 6.

Cā€™est la vie.

Maybe Iā€™ll play some shit, but IDK, Iā€™m kinda running out of steam in Breakpoint and not super interested in playing a lot of other games at the moment.

who the hell is Hammerwatch for

itā€™s like slow, boring gauntlet with no pressure at all. except itā€™s also an annoying maze?

also there are one hit kills, so itā€™s possible to die because you moved half an inch too far onto a spike trap, despite having spent the past hour barely taking any damage at all

were people so desperate for co-op games in 2013??

actually i guess probably yeah, damn.

EDIT: okay so i thought the game was a roguelike but itā€™s not. so itā€™s a dungeon crawler, but holy shit is it a boring one. i wonder what happens when you lose all of your lives though

I will never want to play it because the name reminds me of Hammerfight and Iā€™ll just want to play that instead.
