Calan87 | 45 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Alright fellas. Ive done it. Ive fallen. The only game I have not even wanted to try.... Fortnite.... I know I know... My only reason to play has been my son. Hes been begging me more and more to play with him and I just couldnt hold out any longer. I feel ashamed to even say this but it was actually pretty fun, but I feel I would say its mostly because it is playing WITH him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the best multiplayer shooters of the past few years. It's not incredible, but it certainly isn't the shit everyone claims it is. A big part of it being "shit" is it's main audience. I feel like it's like going to a Markiplier fan convention. Sure there's gonna be some adults around, but mostly you're gonna be surrounded by kids, and embarrassingly, most of those kids will kick your ass.

I rarely touched SS4 and had bad experiences with it, but for all I know whoever had it at the time had jacked it up to lv8 because when I tried it the other day it didn't seem so bad.

Sumez | 2,941 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Yeah, as I remember it, SS3 is the one that has a really difficult single player mode, while the SS4 one (on default level-4) is notoriously easy? Could be the other way around though, I don't play single player a lot, I'm basing this entirely on regular versus gameplay. The incredible tension between two human players is what really sets the series apart IMO. SS4 is basically the same as SS3, with a bunch of small improvements. They got rid of the random healing food spawns, and life bars are longer so you don't get battles that are over in two hits (though to be honest I some times liked that aspect of 3), and most importantly, "VICTOLY!" is back. Both games are great. Edited July 28, 2020 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 No everything I've ever read was that SS3 is the nasty one for difficulty, but I had put daily play on it originally just using Shizumaru, then Haohmaru and Nakoruru(hold over from SS1 I cared most for) and learned how to drop the game with them then others on a quarter. It really wasn't bad, but I imagine if Ir eally put effort on it now I'd get ticked at it remember how it was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I got her down to 43 HP that time before dieing. My issue is I only have one item an ultra shroom and that is it and I forgot why. I think I stored everything thinking there was going to be a lot of items in the palace or something I don't really remember. If I can figure out how to get out of the palace and get some more items from storage I can easily beat her as I memorized her patterns very well. I'm just stuck really as she does some insane damage when she increases her attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Nearly done with SteinsGate, with some shorter games lined up behind it. I'm thinking realMyst, Contra Rogue Whatever, or the Trine games. Still plugging along with my SNES stuff too. I'd say 50 games left in the library that I still need to put some more time in before I can call my experience with them "complete." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 2,941 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Steins;Gate is amazing. It takes a while to wind up. Like, it takes many hours of reading dialogue to wind up. And during this whole period you have to deal with an incredibly annoying (first person) main character, Japanese stereotypes, and honestly just a whole lot of nothing happening. But once the story starts to really get off the ground, it all pays off. Everything that happens is a setup for something else, including the main character's intentionally insufferable personality. Getting the actual "true ending" to the game basically requires looking up a flowchart on the internet and following a bunch of easy-to-miss branches to find, it's honestly impossible to figure out on your own. But holy shit. When I watched it I was pretty much in tears - it's a story that really gets to you. I think a lot of the annoying stuff, especially early on, is probably much easier to swallow if you're into anime and stuff. But like Reed I really don't watch a lot of that, and the story is still so solid that it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I should clarify that I'm playing Steins;Gate Elite, which is the "animated" version of the game. Didn't get to play last night, but I should be near the end. Unless I have to look up the flowchart to get the true ending. I have saved at every major branch (as far as I know).

TDIRunner | 2,731 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Lately I've been back to Mario Odyssey. It's been fun because my son and I have been splitting up a lot of the work. We beat the game a while back, but we got into it again looking for more moons. We are up to 700 now and I'm starting to want to 100% the game.

I have saved at every major branch (as far as I know). It's not "major branches", it's little things that feel like they don't matter, like whether you respond to some phone calls, and how they are doing etc. It feels very unintuitive, but given the "true nature" of the final ending, it all makes sense. Essentially Spoiler the "main girl" isn't who the game makes you think it is when you don't do all of these (pretty major spoiler, so maybe skip it...) I don't know if it's different in Elite though. If it's based on the anime, the "true ending" might just be the default one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I thought I read that getting the 5 bad endings unlocks the ability to get the true 6th ending. That's what I aim to do. If I need to go back and change how I responded to texts... well, I probably won't do that. I'd just resort to watching whatever I missed on YouTube at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,941 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It wasn't really a problem for me. It's kinda dumb, but since you can fast forward through everything, it's actually very fast to get back to where it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I don't think I'll pick it back up again as it gets tedious and a bit confusing based on the random placement of every resource, but I fired up Terraria again after like 3 years because my kid got hooked on playing it this morning and did it all day long on my tablet. She got quite a nice system of caves going after I gave a few pointers, also made some nice stairs, a 2 story frame of a house with little to it so far. I did around two hours or so, smaller than hers 2 story home with a table, chair, furnace and a chest. I got some odd resources, but for some reason I can't seem to get the furnace to smelt my bars into better gear. I got kind of bored and put it up, probably do it again when she's into it though.

Gary Hobbesworth | 20 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Playing Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 right now, and I'm not enjoying it like the first for some reason, it just feels kind of dull for some reason. All the references I'm seeing to the 3d game don't help. I've seen plenty of stories so bad that they ruin the whole game, but the 3d Bionic Commando's story was so awful it kind of peripherally ruins the Rearmed games for me, every time they reference it I wince a little. Please don't mention his wife who was turned into a robotic arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_robot | 540 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I was playing Doom on the SNES and I have to say that I'm giving up. I got about half way through. The framerate, pixelated graphics and laggy controls are just too awful. Strangely, they didn't offer any way to save your game or even a password. I might have been able to do it in chunks, but there's no way I'm getting through the whole thing in one sitting. I mean it's pretty much what I expected, but I thought I could at least slog my way through it just so I could knock it off my list. Oh well.
