He would also read details off of your memory card. Pretty neat headfuck at the time.

the controls for that game really suck. it is very much stuck between 2D and 3D. some of the boss fights are a huge pain.
it's definitely worth playing tho. at least play it to when you find the scientist! he has the best cutscenes.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 13:07 (seven years ago) link
oh i switched the controller port (easy to do on vita) but that fight is still a total bitch with those controls. plus the possible instafail at a certain point half way into it...

that had me completely stumped on the orginal ps. Wasn't there a similar head fuck boss fight?

i recommend the MGS VR Virtual Missions as well. it is a very cool minimalist Matrix/Tron-style compilation of stealth challenges, hundreds of missions all focusing on different skill sets, all set in beautiful glowing laser tag arenas.

Have any of you ever tried xcom as a co-op? I'm thinking that we could just each control half the squad (2 players each) and make decisions independently rather than discussing each move.

i remember playing FF6 like that, which actually gave 2P the ability to control half the team. sort of an unadvertised bonus feature

got the diablo 3 allthestuffedition on ps4 sale. This is so much better than the half game I bought on PC a few years ago. my god this thing is addictive.
― thomasintrouble, Sunday, 30 April 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
How much? And it controls well on the ps?
― Mordy, Sunday, 30 April 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
Controls very well on PS4. I went online and was playing with some obviously hacked randos and gained a zillion levels and overpowered equipment which essentially broke my character. Would be wary of playing with anyone you aren't friends with.

― Mordy, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link
No idea, picked it up a while ago and have just been working through it a few hours a week. First one of these i've played and really enjoying the hard cuts between side activity lunacy and gritty, tense mainstory cutscenes.
Finished Persona 5 and despite some weak characters and pacing it's still a great game just doesn't hold a candle to 4 in terms of personality for me.

Torment: Tides of Numenera has been reliably entertaining and low key so far (not very far into it, far enough to have filled my party with the three female NPCs)
also started back into Diablo III with a seasonal character

Turns out Super Metroid is pretty dope. I'm playing on an SNES emulator with a not-SNES gamepad (https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Electronics-Photo/Buffalo-BSGP801GY-Classic-USB-Gamepad-PC/B002B9XB0E) and graphics/controls/baddies/sound are blowing me away. And oh, the music!

tricked out my WD in d3 and beat GR 67ish and XIII tormented all over the place. it's fun but feel like i'm done unless i start up a new char. maybe i'll take a break and then try a different class.
played ep1 of borderlands telltale tnite and it was as advertised v funny
also finished dishonored 2 tnite - emily playthru, low chaos (zero kills) - also fun but not sure if i feel like doing a corvo high chaos playthru. which is a shame bc he has the best toys and u barely use 90% of yr abilities if u shun violence
― Mordy, Sunday, 14 May 2017 04:48 (seven years ago) link
It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was recommending D3 and you're already at XIII??? How many hours a day have you been playing the damn thing?
― thomasintrouble, Monday, 15 May 2017 16:37 (seven years ago) link
2-3 maybe? I play in the evening while watching tv. TBH progression is v quick. Campaign was maybe 6 hours and then another 2-3 to get to lvl 70. And then just rifts, GR's and a couple bounties
― Mordy, Monday, 15 May 2017 16:47 (seven years ago) link
close to done with horizon zero dawn. would echo the previous comment about how well done it is. really the defining feature of the game, all craft no inspiration, but exceptionally well crafted. gameplay, world design, visuals, sound, interface. what is fresh about it, tho, is the implementation of well-worn things like elemental damage and enemy weakpoints that are so often half assed and here actually done justice. the world design and progression toe the border of linear and open world and get the best of each, and the combat is fun and feels strategic. definitely a game where you can wander about and do some side shit and not feel like you wasted your time, about as high of a recommendation as an open world game can get.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. Only about an hour in, but it's pretty great. Good controls, art, enemies. Challenging but not too frustrating (so far). I'm a sucker for Metroidvania games.
― Dan I., Sunday, 21 May 2017 19:44 (seven years ago) link
that game has great art
― PressAnarchyToContinue (Ste), Sunday, 21 May 2017 21:13 (seven years ago) link
It does, but now that I've played a few more hours I think its charms are pretty fleeting. It's really very, very similar to lots of other games in the genre, and now that I've spent so much time playing Rogue Legacy, I don't think I can go back to traditional Castlevania-alikes.
― Dan I., Monday, 22 May 2017 03:24 (seven years ago) link
I mean, I'm still going to finish it. For one, because it's way shorter than I expected. Unless it has some surprise "upside down castle" mode, I'm pretty sure I'm almost through with it, after about 7 hours.

Getting addicted to the early access *Playerunknown's Battlegrounds* (PC only, for now). Its a Battle Royale shooter where I end most games without firing a shot. This video captures the appeal:
