His sorta-solo project - Cultist Simulator - is probably the platonic ideal of this sort of game in terms of writing and presentation. Not buying future games from him since the abuse allegations though.
Its things like this that make me feel like an alien when I play games. I dropped sunless seas because it felt so empty and like nothing was happening 99% of the time
well, don’t play skies I guess
Skies is the same way except you have to pay attention the whole time instead of being able to set a course and alt-tab to read something in the meantime.
the japanese godzilla (?) sticker is so cute!
Yeah, it’s from Shin Godzilla, and it is the cutest.
did the ol’ update on rpcs3 to see how nier runs on my aging computer and I think it’s as perfect as it’s going to get now so I think I’ll play that
Doom 2016 still gets my heart racing on Nightmare difficulty and the last few levels are just wild with death because you just didn’t check yourself.
I’ve been playing Monster Hunter World: Iceborne for hours and hours a day every single day since like the 1st and I still have that “ooh what if I tried…” urge when I’m not playing
made it to a fishing minigame I can’t make heads or tails of
this is where the real nier starts
check the minimap
Good Lord you are not joking about the fucking pacing.
an absolute classic
Bought and installed Blaster Master Zero, because I’ve always liked the idea and feel of Blaster Master, just, never actually enjoyed playing it.
BMZ is exactly the same as regular Blaster Master!!! To my horror!! I’m making progress but I fundamentally don’t enjoy anything in this game that isn’t a boss fight occurring whilst I am still in the tank.
I’m told the game really mixes it up in the later stages so, hoping that happens. I’ve just reached the ruined city stage. I figure whenever I get past the original game’s content, things will start getting good??
I may have fucked up!!!
splatoon 2 is really fun
wave race blue storm is a lot more pleasant in japanese. better fonts everywhere! just… turn the fucking voices off, jesus.
the first level in the us release is called “lost temple lagoon”
in the jp version it is called “ethnic lagoon”
similarly:
ocean city harbor (us) -> city harbor (jp)
arctic bay (us) -> cool ocean (jp)
strongwater keep (us) -> victory gate (jp)
come ON, that shit is way cooler lol. even though “ethnic lagoon” still makes me nervous.
this game was developed by western developers.
do they race in a flooded deli
Pastrami Cove
weeeel. This game is pretty much homogeneous in feel. It does mix it up a bit but not in a very significant way.
