Quoting: Arehandoro

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääI like the 4th one.

Heresy!

P.S: I like the 3rd one, also a heretic for the purists I guess :D

Curse of Monkey Island is my favorite of the series.

Quoting: NezchanCue half a dozen people defending him on the basis he shouldn't be cancelled for his opinions.

Oh, me [raises hand]. Definitely count me in. Also, anyone defending cancel culture, just know that I'm going to buy his game just to piss you off.

In one sentence - this game is frustrating for the sake of being frustrating.

It's not fun. It's a first person rhythm game where the timings are so tight in certain sections that normal people will find themselves repeating a section not dozens, but possibly over a hundred times being clearing it almost by accident when everything lines up for them, which happened to me several times. Games based on a free running mechanic have to be able to keep a rhythm going and this one breaks it over an over and over.

For example, remember the end sequence in the first HALO? The one where you are in the warthog and you just about have to try in order to die or fail? Have the game go out on a high note when the player feels invincible? There's a similar sequence at the end here except the designer picked that moment for a waterfall section that you might have to replay two dozen times before you stick a landing correctly. And then you have to do it again or you respawn back at the first difficult to stick landing.

I beat the game out of spite. I'm uninstalling it and never plan to play it again. Oh, it's very pretty in terms of art direction if that matters to you.

SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics with a Steam controller. So far "Streets of Rage" and "ESWAT".

They are living the tech sector dream - build up proprietary app, service, whatever, cook their books for public consumption, and then have a bunch of insiders give you a ton of money for your golden parachute so that they can turn around and make money off the hype in their casino. Behold, the IPO.

Switched to "West of Loathing." It's amusing.

Playing "Rifter." At least I was. I'm on the tutorial level wondering why I keep dying when there doesn't seem to be anything on screen to kill me. So I uninstalled it and am really pissed that I waited this long to play it because I can't get a refund now.

20 whole minutes of play time. On thew supposedly accessible mode. I'll think go back to Strider, something that's difficult but at least makes sense.

Get to the Orange Door. I have yet to get to a single orange door. Have died a lot, though.

Quoting: jarhead_hBE-A-Walker and "Ion Fury". Gonna fire up "Missile Command" and "Get to the Orange Door"....

I have the Get to the Orange Door on my wishlist. Its good?

There's a learning curve, the parkor controls are not perfect, get's used to VELOCITY, you want to be on the move, and fast. The first gun you get sucks, you will die a lot, no really, YOU WILL DIE A LOT, but when it all comes together it's frantic and fun.

The new Missile Command is equally surprising. Surprised at the difficulty which ramps up quickly. Both games have a neon neo-80's aesthetic, and are really gorgeous for it without a bogging down the GPU.
