I used to think it was third, bc the cover said it
fathom juniper
ah, yes
doom 64 
fathom juniper
ok - let me ask you this
was the game made out of 90% pitch black darkness and 10% pointless audiologs?
with a completely borked shotgun?
wait
you thought it was doom 3 but it was actually doom 2?
whaaaaa- 
twin yarrow
It had a weird voice over, for some enemies
fathom juniper
were those enemies using sprites or full 3d models?
twin yarrow
Sprites ofc
fathom juniper
then it was either 1, 2 or 64
||or final or ultimate but nvm about that||
woven breach
Detective Kraja on the case
fathom juniper
twin yarrow
It was doom 2, seriously.. I've replayed it last year, it was that
But
Uknow, nothing back in the day could be bought legally
And local pirates made some changes, including cringy voice over, renamed the game Doom 3 and called it a day
fathom juniper
twin yarrow
Business was boomin'
fathom juniper
so it's technically a mod
that distributed an iwad
which is piracy
yo i've heard some weird stories but i've never heard of anyone being introduced to the series this way 
twin yarrow
It was piracy in its true form
Then there was doom 1 called doom 2
And some kind of 2d platformer with doom sprites
Called guess how
That's right, Doom
All on one CD
Plus 96 more games with different levels of garbageness
fathom juniper
man
i kinda miss this sort of stuff
this bootleg game sharing thingy
like "oh yeah i got this scratched up CD from a friend - it might have 5 random games i never heard of or a 100 viruses wearing a trenchcoat"
twin yarrow
fathom juniper
but yeah - get yourself a copy of doom2 (actually you don't even need it, you just need its 15 megs iwad file and a free sourceport) and enjoy more mods than anyone could ever play in their lifetime
there's so much varied stuff out there it's even hard for me to describe
you want a 3d third person sonic game? there's a mod for that
you want a kart racer? there's a mod for that
you wanna play first person DMC on bath salts? there's a mod for that
you wanna play slow, atmospheric survival horror? there's a mod for that
you wanna play one of the most complex mil-sims out there? there's a mod for that
and so, so much more
twin yarrow
I wonder if there is a classic doom mod, when there is only one room on the map, with a giant screen that plays Bad Apple
fathom juniper
no, but i could make one in like...
2 days
maybe 3 if i get drunk along the way
twin yarrow
That would be the ultimate thing to run on whatever has screens
fathom juniper
but yeah - yall like nintendo, right?
and marios and stuff
hell - there's even a trilogy of full 10 (if not more) hours long... weird... hybrid... mod...things...
that marry doom with mario 64 resulting in stuff like this
https://youtu.be/vFgy_aylSaw?list=PLrQnnXQh0V2ekI2NBiM-Nb6uXhAiv3bRU&t=304

I just reached the first (Dunno if there are more don't spoil me if they are) ||Kasane|| boss fight
Because I wanted to try the mechanic they teach you in the fight I accidentally got killed. BUT ||The game continue even if you lose|| so I closed the game and decided to try to fight to win later

i didnt expect much after the recent tales games but gotta admit plot is pretty cool
got some hope for tales of arise

Tales, Trails and Ys.
The Holy Trinity of "Long-Running JRPG games I've always wanted to play but I am so far behind the curve I believe I'll never catch up"
With Ys I partly broke it by enjoying Lacrimosa, playing Monstrum Nox in the future and spoiling myself in all other games before VIII.
With Tales I hope to break it with Berseria.
With Trails I gave up lmao.

Too late already bought it and installed it
In fact is the third game in my backlog

um
hmmmm
mixed
I like the combat when you use keyblades
I feel like the disney keyblades mechanic is a very good addition
I like some of the closure you get for some characters
but man... they didn't try with the disney worlds
and the last half of the game, while some peeps say it's the best part.
at that point I just wish for it to end
because dammit I have to ||save kairi all over again||
however
DLC is worth
...20 bucks from the 30 bucks price tag

There's also some actual skill with certain items and setups

dire condor
Bastion is vaguely similar.
dire condor
HLD isn't slow in the least, but it's also neither isometric nor much like Hades.
lofty pecan
I didnt like the slowing down after dashing
sleek quiver
HLD is closer to a souls-like imo
Hence the dash timings
It is a much faster souls-like though, but retains most of the punishing nature of souls-like
Hades is, tbh, much more forgiving in terms of combat, just because thereās much more leeway in how much you can just chain actions after actions without much limitations like stamina or long build-up animations
Not to say that Hades is easy or whatever, but it is more forgiving, in that it doesnāt punish you much for wrong moves at the wrong time, for most of the time
I would say, the closest I feel Hades combat is to another game is Dead Cells, but of course DC isnāt isometric though, but the feel is pretty much the same
mystic wave
if it's fast pace action like that, maybe Ys 8 fits the bill
still, not isometric lol

It was overwritten by RDR2 fishing

hardcore - a character difficulty setting in which you die permanently (softcore drops money on death, mediumcore drops money and all held items)
calamity - probably one of the most well known terraria mods, also has notoriously difficult bosses that are kind of janky that you are gonna die a lot on before you learn how they work

If you miss.... the stack is gone and you'll have pain
If you're good with timing the stock special revolver and use it for finishers or you combine it with a damage/crit build, you'll end up spamming the R button and oneshotting everything with the cooldown resetting per kill

fantasian has an interesting take on random encounters
lets you skip them temporarily when traveling through a region, then lets you fight all of them at the end

I just donāt get it when people donāt want QoL stuffs in a game. Like the EXP Share stuffs, most people are playing PokĆ©mon casually, EXP Share is always a welcome thing, the minority of hardcore PokĆ©mon players seems like they donāt care about whoever is not in their community of hardcore gamers
Same like Diablo 3, D3 was a fine step to make endgame more accessible for more players but the hardcore players just donāt want more people to play the game with them, I guess

"People are cooped in their house, we need something to incite consumers."
"Why don't we make the PORTABLE mode better?"
"SOMEONE GIVE HIM A RAISE"
fathom juniper
wait i may be an idiot but whats the actual difference
basically - old display used and LCD panel - which doesn't "shine" on it's own and requires a backlight
there's some LEDs inside, they do their thing, light goes through the panel and boom - you can see all the pretty BOTW greens and such
OLEDs on the other hand work in a different way
(i'm massively oversimplifying here)
oleds don't really require any kind of backlight because every pixel is bright enough on it's own
so - on one hand - it gives you way nicer colors and almost perfect blacks (because - well - just turn off all the pixels that are supposed to be black - it won't get any darker than that)
on the other, however...
BURN INS!
dire warren
so tl;dr it's
functionally the same machine but it looks prettier
sounds about right
fathom juniper
not really
here comes the biggest flaw of OLEDs - burn ins
oled panels tend to get "stuck" after displaying the same thing for a long time, leaving this weird sort of "ghosting" effect
which is really, really bad for games which - in 99,pie% cases use static HUD elements

oh lord

ion think oleds gonna be good for the switch doe, burn ins,and later on shadowing
fathom juniper
but instead of that they got a normal switch with - sure - a better looking display
but at the same time - it's a display that won't be as durable as the old one

but ofc nintendo just said "no pro instead here have an oled screen hehe"

as a fan of rise, currently it's not worth buying switch for
just wait for PC
fathom juniper
just hunker down for a month for all nintendo worshipers to quiet down and stop clogging up your news feed with 
wait for it to come out
wait for all of them to jump on the band wagon and buy it
and buy the old one for cheaper
and enjoy your more durable screen
woven breach
yea
woven breach
lol
fathom juniper
did i just... praise nintendo?
i mean - they're still military grade a-holes, but...
woven breach
nah, nintendo is just out of loop
fathom juniper
yeah oleds are expensive
bleak coral
will not buy
fathom juniper
good
bleak coral
if we had gotten genuinely good resolution or fps upgrades I wouldve been fine
but I really have a switch so I have no need for this
fathom juniper
it's like with phones
here's a new thing that's like the old thing but more expensive and slightly prettier
fathom juniper
and it can do the same things as the old one... but slightly prettier
crisp marsh
haha
fathom juniper
oh that's so cool, mr. nintendo man! how long is it going to last before i have to buy a new one?
and nintendo is like
that will be 399
or however much this thing costs
don't know, don't care
bleak coral
"Switch OLED, now with a slightly larger screen"
fathom juniper
games still run at 720p
so it's the same resolution but slightly more stretched out
bleak coral
Its 349 usd
the wide kickstand is very helpful though I'll give them that
no reason to buy this unless you play handheld
fathom juniper
wait
hang on
so it's a more expensive version of a console that's like...
5 years old now
thorn tundra
ok we get it nintendo
thorn tundra
but where's our new joy cons that actually lasts?
fathom juniper
oh yeah about that
woven breach
yep
fathom juniper
hang on let me just

no mention

"mr nintendo - can we have a switch pro?"
"we have a switch pro at home"
switch pro at home

thorn tundra
I do like the color though
and for some reason the trailer gave me smartphone ad vibes
fathom juniper
yup
you know - i gotta give nintendo credit for being super creative and innovative and coming up with a...
slightly wider piece of plastic on the back
oh 
can i have 2?
and that rj45 port
wow
they finally caught up to consoles from...
20 years ago
twin yarrow
Nintendo exists in its own world and does whatever it wants
woven breach
ngl tho
fathom juniper
that's barely an excuse
fathom juniper
a cheap ass, second hand 300 freedom eagles laptop is a better gaming device than switch
twin yarrow
it's not an excuse, it's just a bare fact
probably even a bit of concern
they don't even care what's happening in the industry
welp
fathom juniper
40 years of gaming history
hundreds upon hundreds of well known, well tested cult classic of all genres
mods, indies, freeware and more free stuff than you could play in your lifetime
twin yarrow
i guess, ethernet will come in handy when trading pokŃmons
fathom juniper
you could have all of that and more, ooooorrrr...
a new nintendo machine to play the same tired series again, but slightly prettier
fathom juniper
Nintendo has a gimmick and its a very good one at that
yeah
it's called nostalgia
bleak coral
well no
its called handhelds
playing triple a games on the go is huge especially for casuals
twin yarrow
well, unfortunately, have to admit, the handheld market suffers a lot now
since Vita has died, and people have to play on phones
which are, no offence, but not the best devices for playing
fathom juniper
no need to be so coy
just say it like it is - mobile gaming is the lowest point of this industry and is the thing that got us here in the first place
the literal bottom
and it keeps digging lower and lower
where do you think all those AAA publishers got the idea for microtransactions?
and live services and all that other crap?
they didn't come up with it on the spot
that requires some brain cells
twin yarrow
and it gets worse, mobile market has consumed flash gaming
from the major ideas of colorful minigames to the fact that some major guys like Nitrome had to switch the development strategy completely
flash is ded
bleak coral
where do you think all those AAA publishers got the idea for microtransactions?
...
Fortnite
fathom juniper
just...
god damn it, just crash already
i don't care anymore
just crash and let people who actually care do the heavy lifting
bleak coral
yeah
it's called nostalgia
Also nintendo games are legit very fun
thats what matters at the end
they make fun games
bleak coral
i mean some have been dissapointments but their track record is good
especially with their bigger ips
fathom juniper
yeah cause they've been doing like...
5 major ips for decades now
this is the dumbest argument
"oh it's all fine cause their games are fun"
you can get "fun" from a lot of different publishers too, and yet they still get dunked on - and rightfully so - for pulling half the crap that nintendo does
hey nintendo!
how about you try something new for once in a blue moon?
how about a game that isn't colorful nostalgia bait?
you know - try to spice things up, get some varied portfolio going
god knows you've been at it for a while
twin yarrow
funny that when somebody else does a sequel of 20 years old franchise, it'll most likely be a disappointment
fathom juniper
when was the last time nintendo tried something truly new and unique?
arms, probably
and maybe splatoon
wraith cradle

Wasteland 2 tho
fathom juniper
one of them flopped hard, the other is 
and they both still share the same common characteristics - both being obnoxious, super colorful sensory overload aimed at ounger audiences to maximise profits
fathom juniper

id software says hello
wraith cradle
Splatoon is beloved in general tho
fathom juniper
well yeah that's why i said that one of them flopped
which was arms
wraith cradle
Anyhow good games that came out more than a decade than the last one that I can think of
fathom juniper
but that's besides the point
how about something that isn't this colorful, super cheery assault to my eyes?
how about something - oh i don't know - slower, more subdued?
how about a different perspective?
how about the first person perspective?
i may be biased a bit, but come on - the last time they tried that was with the prime trilogy
and that was still metroid - which was pretty much a safe bet
and then there was this co-op 3ds thingy that sold like crap
thorn tundra
eh Im kind of a nintendo fan purely because it exists on its own world
fathom juniper
you know who exists in their own world?
crazy people
twin yarrow
well, there are some hopes on new metroid
fathom juniper
that's why they lock them up
thorn tundra
keep it weird they might do accidentally stumble on something that could change the gaming industry forever
its their brand
fathom juniper
their brand is nostalgia abuse
wraith cradle
-Doom
-Mother 3
-Killer Instinct
-Kid Icarus
-Elite Dangerous
-Wasteland 2
twin yarrow
nostalgia abuse is Sega's thing
fathom juniper
sega is low key dead
thorn tundra
its alive cause of the cult fanbases of their games
fathom juniper
-Doom
-Mother 3
-Killer Instinct
-Kid Icarus
-Elite Dangerous
-Wasteland 2
what's this list?
twin yarrow
which doesn't stop them from kicking Sonic's corpse since middle 00s
thorn tundra
just like how Im inside nintendo's cult
thorn tundra
but dont kill sega yet I need my project diva and puyo puyo
wraith cradle
what's this list?
Good games that came after a decade or more from the last one in the franchise
twin yarrow
that made me think.. TES VI will be also a sequel after 10+ years
and we don't know if it'll make it to this list
wraith cradle
Toddie boy admitted they are still in a 'Design' phase and that the teaser was put on matter of desperation
twin yarrow
which means, they don't even know what it'll be about
wraith cradle
So I doubt we see the game until 2024 at the earliest
rustic falcon
you know who exists in their own world?
crazy people
this kind of ableist language is not welcome in this server.
bleak coral
hey nintendo!
how about you try something new for once in a blue moon?
how about...
how does nintendo not have a varied portfolio šæ
wraith cradle
Anyhow they are centering their efforts in that space game that I can't bother to remember its name
twin yarrow
sky-something
bleak coral
but that's besides the point
how about something that isn't this colorful, supe...
breath of the wild would like a word
wraith cradle
I know 5 years ago I would never imagine to say this
But it's gonna be a worse experience that NMS
twin yarrow
breath of the wild would like a word
well, yes, but on the other hand.. i wouldn't call it not colorful
i mean, the gamma is overwhelming
bleak coral
you know what I mean
twin yarrow
to the point it was followed by several other games in terms of visual style
sleek quiver
Yoo, New Nintendo Switch just drop
fathom juniper
breath of the wild would like a word
oh a game in like... a 30 years old series that had at least something new every year
that's still as colorful and cheerful as all the other games in the series
fathom juniper
look at metroid prime
bleak coral
it works for them
fathom juniper
now THAT was actually new and different
something nintendo hasn't really done up to that point
sleek quiver
Apparently, the only new stuff is a 7ā OLED screen
sleek quiver
Thatās all
bleak coral
We get it you hate nintendo
sleek quiver
Uh, I guess I walked in at the wrong time, huh?
fathom juniper
i hate most major publishers
it's not just a you hate nintendo thing
i'm just pointing out how they're not any better than insert any other publisher here
twin yarrow
i'm afraid they don't want to make something not cheerful and colorful bc they don't really interested in adult audience
bleak coral
Uh, I guess I walked in at the wrong time, huh?
nah you're fine
twin yarrow
their games are mostly meant for kids or for the family
bleak coral
^
sleek quiver
Iāll go hype-trending somewhere else for a while lol
twin yarrow
so, i guess even Metroid seemed something risky for them
bleak coral
and if people like something, why not keep doing it? not every company needs to be peak ingenunity
fathom juniper
also asking a company that likes to make colorful games to not do that
i'm not telling them to NOT do that
i just wish they did something different once in a while
yall seem to be hating on ubisoft or whatever for doing the same thing over and over again
but when nintendo treats their series the same way?
nah mate that's fine
cause it's nintendo
twin yarrow
how about idk.. they can make also a space game, but let's assume.. with animals
thorn tundra
they do have a varied franchise lineup though
twin yarrow
like, a fox protagonist
thorn tundra
they're pretty strong imo
twin yarrow
piloting a spaceship, fighting evil
bleak coral
I mean they do have a real chance with Bayonetta even if it isnt first party and it comes out this decade
fathom juniper
they do have a varied franchise lineup though
oh yeah?
point me to their FPS franchise
or RTS franchise
or a proper RPG they're doing
bleak coral
there isnt a lot of mature first party content I agree, its just not their thing
fathom juniper
racing games?
mario kart is basically the only one they're doing
and that's still mario
thorn tundra
Starfox
metroid
zelda
pokemon
mario
Splatoon
Mother
Pikmin
bleak coral
Splatoon, Pikmin, Xenoblade (3rd party but switch exclusive)
fathom juniper
and they're all super colorful and cheerful
bleak coral
and?

Go ahead and make a new ip then. Rn. Give me a concept that is an assured hit with audiences. And better yet why not drop the entirety of the current popular ips, they donāt matter anyway right??
thorn tundra
they do with bayonetta
fathom juniper
but nah - i guess that's too risky for nintendo
twin yarrow
every time somebody asks, "Nintendo, can you make something new for us?"
bleak coral
Bayo is third party but you arent wrong
thorn tundra
also its their brand
twin yarrow
they say "oh for sure! here is new Mario for you"
thorn tundra
its just business
wraith cradle
Bruh, Nintendo formula works, they realize it works so they don't change that's the cusp
bleak coral
i dont know why this is even an argument
thorn tundra
its business suicide to suddenly change and focus to mature audience and games

they're just gonna keep doing what they do
thorn tundra
you literally want nintendo to kill their thing

honestly - i'd go as far as saying that goddamn ubisoft has more varied lineup than nintendo

none of you should either

you could hate arms and ringfit all you want

are you getting paid for this <@!542092226407170060> ?
i dont even like / havent played half of nintendo's lineup
but ok
thorn tundra
smash started platform fighters
twin yarrow
somehow each new game have enough features to be interesting enough to get popular enough
bleak coral
I just know their content is quality and consistent
twin yarrow
but most of that features also include the features of consoles
bleak coral
true
twin yarrow
for which they are exclusive
thorn tundra
its their ecosystem design
but honestly if Im buying a console, it better be unique enough
twin yarrow
so that's not about game quality, more like console uniqueness
and.. it's not always good
thorn tundra
cause otherwise, I'll just buy a computer then
twin yarrow
that limites possibilities for ports
thorn tundra
you dont buy consoles for ports, you buy it for the exclusive games
twin yarrow
there are also emulators, but i haven't said that
dire saffron
looks like you completely missed my point there, but ok
ā¦ where was the pointā¦
thorn tundra
the only reason why you would buy xbox over ps5 or xbox over ps5 is their game lineup
dire saffron
Also I started playing my first real fighting game <@!348949535072059392>
Oooo which one :3

Nice, I havenāt played guilty gear mostly since my computer canāt run it š
