yes
but yeah i go 'oh boy this game is on sale, and its a game i want to play at some point, i might as well buy it' times literally like 400
I don't have many games because of a factor called poverty
i only buy games on sale, otherwise it would take forever for me to get all the games on my wishlist
theres still 440 on my wishlist
WHAT
I have 200 games on my wishlist haha
I have games on my wish list that I think I will never be able to buy in my life
but ONLY by 200
I do my best to clear my wishlist
If I see a game for like $3 and I still decide to not buy it
i already bought those ones
i have 22 lmao
I might as well remove it
12 on my wishlist... 3 of them unreleased
lol
what an odd way of thinking
cool
i still intend to buy every game on my wishlist
At some point I realized that theres no way Im actually playing all of these games
even though alot of the time i see a game on my wishlist thats on sale and go 'yeah, but i dont REALLY want it that badly'
I am just very picky with my wishlist because I already have so much backlog.
So now I try to purge my wishlist every so often
same, but that doesnt stop me
the backlog thing, that is. not the picky thing
my favourite thing that i played recently was dead rising
i LOVE dead rising
definitely up there as one of my top faves
The truth is that I don't have that many games on my wish list because I'm honest with myself and I know that I won't be able to buy them.
i started the second one, so far its not as good, but i havent played all that much
it'll probably get better once i level up
i know i will. in time.....
maybe in a few years
I used to play it on console before it was so much fun
og xbox 360?
yes
based
god its good
i recommend it to everyone
its really hard though
not an easy game to just pick up
Well that was what I had back then.
fair
maybe i should play dead rising fr
you seriously should
i cannot recommend it enough
it is absolutely the best thing ive played this year
its got flaws, but what game doesnt
it's a bit confusing but once you learn how to play it will be fun
yeah it is confusing
and the bosses are literally crazy
especially how on the very first night the convicts show up in the courtyard and make running from area to area MUCH harder
the bosses arent just zombies or random bad guys, they're people who went nuts over the outbreak
also as you start to play you don't understand the map at all
crazy but good weapons
totally
and everytime you kill a boss they give you a cool really strong wacky weapon to toy around with
very fun mechanics like the hamster ball
the skills are so much fun to play with
stuff like the double lariet and the zombie ride
just flying into zombies and messing with them, its all so goofy
apart from taking photos although I don't know if that's from 2
no thats from 1
a ok
in 2 you dont take photos at all
cuz you're a different guy
why is frank west so likable
Oh yes
ni dea
darn
natural charisma i guess
makes sense
hes goated
this song makes me tear up because im a little baby and i hold wind waker incredibly close to my heart
act like this was an eclipse 8 run
felt good managing to pull this off
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826625720
Oh hey look at that a new mod class how cool
oh god
4 bosses done in one day ez
Been playing RoR2 lately myself. Any tips? Havenāt won a run yet.
Fnaf world featured, based
basically dont play commando
second go for crits those are lifesavers
also try to get a good amount of healing
brass contraptions, elder or anything else that spawns on stage 4 plus is a must kill cause they do heavy damage
mythrix is extremely chaotic, fast and deadly
staying still for even a second could mean the end for you
most bosses arenāt a problem besides imp lord and thats about it
firerate, speed and overall hit/kill effects are extremely good( sacrificial dagger for example)
brilliant behemoth and the shattering judgement are really good items
lunar items are optional but if you want one then try to get shattered glass i think thats what its called
uncommon items arent much to talk about just go for the feather and the one that gives increased attack speed from every crit hit
commons are self explanatory
75% of then are good
15% are good if you have many
and the 5% are the shit ones
also if you dont have a legendary far in the run you can either get one in sirens call by destroying alot of egg nest and killing the gaint robot thing
or find legendary chest (big gold ones with a skull on it)
but the red one is a guaranteed to have one
the other one is a chance
and i almost forgot
leave the stage as soon as possible
the further you play, the more harder it will become
i suggest 5-7 minutes per stage
dont have to rush it doe
also if you wanna skip the pillar part to get to mythrix just use the vase active item and skip the entire thing
1-2-3 stages arenāt hard just stock up on items
and thats about it
@vague forum hope this helps
Thank you kind sir
Hell yeah dude
Reminds me that I still have achievements to go for in that game.
I just got pavlov (dont judge me i still use rift s)
Rift s is great for what it is, so is pavlov
i beat deaths door :)
nice ! i am still not done with it
what mode is that
what mode are you playing
Yes, thatās me, youāre probably wondering how I ended up in this situation
lmao
Currently have a list of games to play until August-
God of war (currently playing through that)
Chicory (such a cute game i love it)
Going under (heard amazing things)
Mgr r (coz action combat is sick)
On july 7th I'll jump into have a nice death to play the new fast food area
Basically, good year for gaming š

What did you think of it? I'm very interested in picking that up after I get through Volume and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge!

rip bozo
im the first person to ever get this achievement
YOOO

you what
yeah no its easy but the point was that i was the first person to GET it
i got it early i time traveled

40 buckaroos

i just played a game called 'the music machine'. have any of you heard of it?
Link
Haley, an eccentric 13 year old girl, has a complicated relationship with her old friend Quintin. He's a ghost now, and he's puppeting her body with the intent of finding a satisfactory way of killing her. This dubious quest has led them to a mysterious abandoned island, where several people were recently murdered. And where, among the rotting ...

yeah
its why i played it
cuz i was interested in his other games
he made dusk too
What in the seven hells is that
I do not like that
I do not like 'plants' that reach at my fragile person
We shared the same expression
one is blank while the other is black but not breathing
rainworld is pure evil

LMAO
What Apex could've been
and combines
And that XD
The Parkour mod is called "beatrun". Sadly, you gotta pay like 13 dollars if you want to get early access, but I've personally got my money's worth lol.
Gun mod is ArcCW
Bro check out Titanfall 2
I am guilty of the crime of liking Brink when it comes to Movement shooters. 
I never heard of this game
I am surprised their are games you don't know about...with your sizeable library
Hahahaha
There is a surprising amount of games Ive never played
Even big name games like Skyrim, never played
I played Skyrim...just never finished it. Or any elder scroll. And Fallout only 3 of all titles.
I cant even name all the elder scrolls
One of them is called Morrowin?
Then I know skyrim, elder scrolls online, and thats it
Let me try...arena, daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim
Oh yeah I know oblivion
Not sure if I am proud of myself or should mock my inner nerd.
Haha its fair to know elder scrolls
Todd Howard is a big name guy and WILL shill it over and over and over and over and over and over again
We need Todd Howards as a shady Cult of the Lamb vendor npc.
Oh fuck yes
āHey, do you want a overpriced sword with the blade being a 1000$ DLC?ā
dam
13 buckeroes
i hope its gonna release soon
Deadass Brink is one of my favorite games from that console generation. Feel no shame, my compatriot, for I am in those trenches with you. š¤
I used to love playing the Game! But it kinda just died off and it was taking forever to find matches, was lucky to even be put into a match with half a lobby
Campaign was awesome though!
yeah the campaign is so good
Found a new gun mod that I much prefer (Modern Warfare pack)
Gmod but with Mirror's Edge movement?
Its a default texture in source
mirrors edge 2.15?
Basically yeah, the mod is enabled at all times, so you get mirror edge's movement while using any other mod lol
even though i've already bought and played the games i wanna get the portal games on my switch
I bought all of the Assassinās Creed games when they went on sale on Steam awhile back even though I own several of them on my Xbox
You donāt have to rationalize everything, if you enjoy them then buy them for your switch
Apparently some people are malding because Dead Cells added Assist Mode- basically settings that allow you to control the damage output of enemies, along with allowing multiple lives
With a few other options like auto-attack when you're near an enemy
Meant to be used by people with disabilities or some other factor that hampers their ability to play
Idk why some people complains about this and just don't need to activate it
I guess they're mad because "mah achievements"
Achievements are meant to be enjoyed by.. you? cause you achieved it? just feel good about it??
yes
Just because somebody else has a gold sticker doesn't make my gold sticker any less shiny
exactly
I love Dead Cells, and I'd like as many other people as possible to love it too
And if that means their experience is 'easier' than whatever
Why would I care
you are right imo, but as you can clearly see in everyday life that doesn't work that way >.<
and it just sucks
I know there are some hardcore players out there that aren't happy if a game isn't as hard as it humanly can be.
Personally I see myself more as a dirty casual.
so Dark Souls is not your type, eh?
Have never played a DS title. But for example Hollow Knight is not my jam. Too many challenging bosses at every corner and even normal enemies stay constantly dangerous. That is just to much tension for my fun gaming time.
I see
I love Hollow Knight
Also spikes...man I hate spikes in HK.
But trying to play Dark Souls gives me an aneurysm
That kinda is my situation...
Don't get me wrong: It is a beautiful, storyrich game that if you are able to deal with the difficulty is fun to go through.
Just not my cup of tea in terms of difficulty.
Far more at home with Axiome Verge and Chasm in terms of difficulty (to pick other Metroidvanias)
And eventually decided it wasn't worth the mental strain
And now this has been the subject of much taunting from my peers
They can go get it themselves and see how 'fun' it is
I have a couple of games near 100%... some achievements are just evil
it doesnāt get interesting until like after the green place
Ngl starting out, it took me over almost 30 tries to get past the first Hornet fight
I think I got to the || Soul Master ||
At which point I was like "Another boss?"
My first attempt struggling through the game like the pitiful worm I am was terrible
Try 47 in a row
that's what the final achievement was
I wish there were more easy metroidvanias.
Probably the reason I bought the Castlevania Advance Collection
I feel like too much emphasis is placed on preserving the 'sanctity' of difficulty
Nowadays
Is it possible for somebody who totally sucks to become good at a difficult game? Yeah
Is it totally stressful and agonizing to get there? Yeah
Will I maybe quit the game forever getting there and thus lose out on an amazing experience? yeh
the point is: you must understand what that game is, and what it wants from you
back to Dark Souls: a game designer when he was young played some games and as he was a kid, it was too difficult for him, especially its all on english. And now he making his own games
or my favourite example: Sonic Mania. This game meant to be a "Classic Sonic" game which means it was made like ~30 year old game style, that unexceptionable nowdays. But if we forgot that its 2k22, the game is great
Old games and difficulty is weird.
On one hand you have the coin munchers that were designed to make you pay more quearters (Metal slug, contra and such) on the other hand some old games are hard because they are janky and don't have the QoL that modern games have.
There are I think not that many old games that are similar in their difficulty to more modern games.
But honestly we live in a golden age of gaming as consumers. Even when some games fail there are so many releases that offer something to everyone.
If we're not include modern AAA segment
Oooh what are we taking about?
Difficulty options in video games
Or just accessibility in general
Mostly starting with me thinking that people upset about the recent Assist Mode in Dead Cells are overreacting
People on the internet overreacting? Never š
Most games of its genre wouldnt add stuff like that
But ah well I'm simply not gonna use it, so I dont care
Said none of the salty gamers
i love bullshit
if you love bullshit, talk to steve! (his pfp is some kind of hairy bull)
Not to mention that a lot of old games are hard simply because they are extremely short. They had to put in those "cheap deaths" that you cant really avoid unless you know they are coming to extend playtime
Today that would be considered bad game design, but back then it was just extending the life of a game
I haven't heard of that game in ages
it is very good
yeah
what would yall do if, in the next mario game, luigi shows up and gets killed by bowser. they dont make a big deal out of it, mario just gets really upset for like 10 seconds, and then the game continues. luigi never shows up in any game after. there are no more luigis mansion games, and all merchandise featuring or referencing luigi ceases production
Luigi got erased from existence
heeeey they're making a terraria graphic novel series
Wait what? O_O
you heard me
Reminds me that I need to get the last few terraria achievements for 100%
im tryin'...
why wont it just SHOW UP
FOR FUCKS SAKE
Greetings Terrarians!
We are beyond thrilled to be able to at long last reveal a project that has been going on behind the scenes for quite some time - the Terraria Graphic Novel series! We here at Re-Logic have been working closely with our partners at 50 Amp Productions on all aspects of the...
there
holy
Okay, not bragging, but I'm basically the complete opposite of you here XD I've beaten the Pantheon of Hallownest, but Steel Soul Mode kicks my butt EVERY time.
i havent even finished hollow knight
i got up to the colosseum of fools, did, like, the first 2 bosses there, and havent touched it since
I'm a total sucker for Hollow Knight, I'll be honest. I didn't expect to like it, but it's just so good.
bro pantheon of hallownest was the best single thing ive ever accomplished
Speaking of great and cheap
https://youtu.be/ph80Ix5vY1c Have A Nice Death just had a HUGE new update.
The Toxic Food-Processing Department is now officially open for business and all personnel are required to join a company-wide celebration to commemorate the launch of the Fast Food update for Have a Nice Death. Mortals who have downloaded this darkly charming hackānāscythe adventure as part of Early Access on Steam are invited to gorge themselv...
Is this gmod
Looks like it. HL2 UI, Portal Gun. I'm impressed at how much they copied Mirror's Edge animations.
I do like hollow knight but i haven't play much. Cause they use something i HATE god please stop that backtracking hell....
Backtracking? In MY Metroidvania?
It's more common than you think
Honestly dude, if you dislike backtracking just avoid the entire Metroidvania genre. Hollow Knight is one of the LEAST linear games I've seen in the past 20 years.
Yeah i learned pretty fast that i don't like backtracking that why i haven't played much of ori
While I too dislike backtracking, there's a good and a bad way to do it IMO
I do like the gamestyle, the art, fighting all... but backtracking breaks me everytime :(
I also played dusk an elysian tail. That was annoying at first because of placed i couldn't get but it was okay when i realised "just go through the game once, get everything and go back once again and done"
i grinded real fuckin' hard for this
(but nobody understands what im talking about, nor do they care)
oh shit
JESUS DUDE THAT KEYBLADE'S HARD TO GET
aint it just
isn't that the hardest keyblade to get?
but i feel pretty cool
(also literally almost fucking 60 hours of playtime by the way)
yeah
nah this is the ps2 version
the pc port is only accessible via epic games, and id rather kill myself than give epic my money
so ill stick with the ps2
yeah im sure
i recommend buying those instead of PC if you don't wanna buy pc
same
time to go kill sephiroth!
but yeah 100% recommend the PS3 port mainly because 1.5 and 2.5 compiled feature 6 KH games, 1.5 features Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
i want a ps3 for some many reasons
2.5 features Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
yeah they good
there's also the PS4 port
that's really good
if you're gonna buy it, rn Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX on PS4/PS5 is the best way to play it
makes sense
ps3 is much more worth it
agreed
so many good games, AND backwards compatibility with TWO consoles
hey what emu's should i get on my switch
emulators?
i already have ppspp and mGBA.
ye
i mean which ones CAN you put on there
might get dolphin on my pc and remote stream on my switch for ssb melee
and super mario sunshine (ofc)
what, you didnt buy 3D all stars?
it does lol
didnt stop me from buying it though, despite playing all 3 games multiple times before
i'm not gonna waste 60$ for a patched version of SM64 and then a meh sunshine, with a bad version of galaxy
jesus, rather buy the consoles to get the definitive experience
i dont understand why they made sunshine widescreen, but not 64
EXACTLY
but haha me like waste money
well i dont
so i like to savor it for good things
i wanna save for a oculus quest
but no monni
i get money out the wazoo
have any of you ever played gitaroo man
i have been absolutely loving my time at deep rock galactic
it is very fun
Wizard with a gun is litteraly just going to be a wizard of 'murican descent.

https://oddwarg.itch.io/sulphur-nimbus-hels-elixir Posting this places since it obscure but a great experience if you give it a chance. Amazing Flight Momentum based platformer that uses the mechanic quite amazing.
i have a pretty hot opinion on my hands right now
i am simply built different

Is that a rust BR?
Sorta, more of a team deathmatch if anything. It's sad because there actually used to be a popular battle Royale server where you had to drop in, find your loot, and everything, but the server just kinda died off :(
The worst part about gaming companies is that they have an economic incentive to make games not exist anymore.
we need to play some time
that kinda looks interesting
Would enjoy to hear your thoughts if ya end up trying if that interests you, or nah if your rather not. I wish more give it a good shot. I thoroughly enjoy it and plan to enjoy it more. Wish you well juggling your curiosity.
i might try it out but its hard play new games, i have already to many games to play under my belt und work isn't helping on getting more time for it XD
Also looking forward to Mina the Hollower, this game, and Lunistice
i aktually should do a list XD
It helps.
A list of currently playing, Excited for / thinking of, Possibly Eventually try, & Have played (or also Enjoyed.)
I use Notepad++ & Use the Nintendo DS Bios Font.
New Kirby game looks great

vrchat moment (sound warning kinda)
Playing a game that reminds me of what the weight for CotL feels like
God this game is only two years older than I am
And this gamecube is older than that
The gamecube really is amazing, Iād like to see another console as old as this one handle all these units on screen and not even hiccup
That game is a classic, it's criminal it didn't get made for Switch or something
Noice
If they DO resell the game to another console I do hope they fix the... censoring
The sheer amount of flavor text in this game
mario and the thousand year door wow
That does take me back haha
Yep, when gaming hit its pinnacle
BP only or no honor btw
Plummer wack goomba
its been years since ive ever touched a gamecube
excuse you, did you forget that cult of the lamb comes out on august 11
that's the pinnacle of gaming

IM STILL WAITING FOR PAPER LUIGI AND THE MARVELOUS COMPASS, NINTENDO
I had to delete my tboi saves so it wouldn't crash
I even deleted my mods but that didn't work
Do you know what rubs salt in the wound too?
My first save had achieved dead god

anyone have any good roguelike suggestions šļø i have the original binding of isaac and hades! im not much of a gamer outside of them though
besides.. pokemon i guess but thats more like a bad habit
risk of rain 2
IS THAT THE GAME where youre jumping around a lot
ngl when i first heard of risk of rain i thought it was a zombie game
š
OH THIS GAME
its hella hard tbh
yea i'll def play it
thats fine!
though tbh im not super good at video games LMAO.
i'm struggling so bad on isaac
but im not scared of trying hard games theyre still fun to me
yea i love getting one tapped by a fucking elite elder lunarian in 1 second
good game
ā¤ļø its about the tapping ā¤ļø
its so funny. i thought hades was hard. i felt like such a cool guy for getting past the time trials and the heat sections. and then isaac slapped me four ways to saturday
love him though
Agree
I'd like to flex this shot
HUNTRESS MAIN????š³š³š³
Among others yes
im gonna commit fucking arson
Can I bring some marshmallows and chocolate over when you do?

glumstone got fucking destroyed and the video is taking to long to load so ima do salt baker
hes pretty salty about you walking in

also i got salt baker
not its 5/6

woah woah woah
it says that āwhen you beat all the dlc bosses with the relic it turns divineā
and i have the divine
Dam
so i did moonshine mob with it
and didnāt even l realize

so uhh
i did it
Iām a rhythm game master
:/
But a,so any one here play hades
nope besides @dusk goblet
Beat it on my 13th attempt
Took me like 4 attempts
I put it on easy mode
Then I started getting it on normal
I laughed put loud at this because I t made me think of quandale dingle
I'm so dumb
Same but too warm to play today with the heat wave here.
Also I hear PC version has lots of stutters sadly.

am i the only one so hyped for skate 4?
The online game as a service one?
You look like a mouse though, isn't that weird :0
?
Thought I vaguely heard it was gonna be a free to play game
But not really following so not sure
yeah it's gonna be free to play
im so fucking hyped it's not even funny
cult of the lamb made me hyped but skate 4 gave me something else entirely
Rodents can love cats tho
But being eaten and killed is another story xd
Yeah EA turned it into an 'online service' free-to-play which means it's going to be infested with microtransactions
As is standard to EA at this point ._.
and its on STEAM
i'd like to see what happens first
saying i have been waiting more then 5 years, i'd like to give this game a exception
Weird that theyāre just calling it āskateā
And say itās not a sequel
Personally I take whatever āgoodwillā EA says with a grain of salt, especially after what their ex CEO said
the original skate the the period at the end tho
yeah, let's hope it's not a major disappointment
Dam this game cult of the lamb is the only thing stopping from going insane waiting for silksong
what's stopping you from going insane waiting for cult of the lamb tho š¤
Stray 2 hours ago: This is such a cool game, I love snuggling with robots

Does anyone know that you can play LFD2 for free this weekend?
I'm pretty sure about 95% of human population already own l4d2, at least the ones using steam
I don't own it because I am poor :(
....and the ones who are poor
Despite the fact that it's like 10 dollars and frequently goes on sale for 1
Well tbh I ended up playing dying light instead
"toto, I don't think we're in neotokyo anymore" Radio blares: "Night city"
what game is this and does it start off deceptively cute before introducing these shadow like abominations?
So, with standard triple A video game prices going up from 59.99 to 69.99, I'll bet the memers are very happy. (of course, Indie game prices seem relatively calm by comparison)
im not surprised prices are going up
but it does kinda infuriate me
It feels really wasteful when it's all said and done, like they're spending so much money on graphics and marketing that they need to balloon the price and file size of these games. I just want the game to be fun, personally, no need for triple A budgets to make a fun game.
I might be more sympathetic if I saw bigger studios acting less wastefully. Like they could reuse game engines and art assets, make art more stylized and less realistic. There are definitely ways to cut budgets, but they go against the whole "more is more" philosophy.
Then end up needing a new hard drive worth of space because "Muh graphics"
Yeah, it's a bad trend that's only gotten worse. If you must go for high quality graphics, I honestly don't think they need to be more realistic than the PS3 era was, and even then I can see a lot of value in low-res but highly stylized.
I get the feeling it's tied to reviews. Video game reviewers tend to hyperfixate on objective metrics of worth like graphical fidelity and other "polish" factors. But those are things that make a film good, what makes a game good is how fun it is, which is subjective.
all a goddamn cycle
These reviewers these days aren't worth a damn though for that
They don't want fun
They want to write and be done to get paid
So the easy conclusions they draw from graphics and such will have to do
Basically a game fun is subjective
so they make up for this by making the game too beautiful and stuff to make it more appealing
which is not as subjective as the gameplay
so yeah they just want critics to give at least decent reviews
Probably the worst part about this conversation is that it's pointless. I don't think there's much average people can do about it. But at least indie devs like MM exist to keep doing fun stuff.
Get yourself a game whose stylized graphics will hold up forever
cough Paper Mario
