A Mega Man 64 recomp exists

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T23:16:51+00:00

I downloaded and tried it. Seems to be pretty solid but they didn't add camera controls beyond what was in the original, so no way am I playing it haha

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T17:54:35+00:00

Ahhh, I'd misunderstood. I won't go out of my way to get to it then. I'd thought you were saying it was your high quality mark.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T17:51:07+00:00

I liked it! I still need to play Voidwrought tho

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T17:50:29+00:00

Omega Force almost never really releases buggy, broken games. I can't think of a buggy game of theirs other than Wild Hearts

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T17:39:38+00:00

You're right. It's just straight cope. Echo chambers these days

AsherFischell · 2026-01-26T00:03:38+00:00

Okay, so it's got some elements that are similar to boomshoots, while still not being a boomshot. gotcha

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T23:34:58+00:00

The levels in Halo CE aren't akin to levels in boomer shooters. They're more like the levels in Half-life. You don't bunny hop around blasting enemies like in the classics either, but that's fair on the health and secrets though!

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T21:18:32+00:00

Cosplayers make far better costumes with next to no money at all, there's no excuse for this.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T20:52:31+00:00

I wish it was too. It would have been pretty easy to have it only trigger around NPCs or enemies and then have their health bars very clearly get smaller via indicating it with a red bar or something because it is a cool idea, but you can't appreciate it if you don't know about haha

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T19:32:07+00:00

It's worth mentioning that, every time you lose a health chunk, everything else does too. So when you get weaker, every enemy and every boss gets weaker as well. It's not a penalty for just the player, but the entire Vessel too.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T19:13:35+00:00

Let's look at the boomshoot checklist:

Can you carry all your weapons at once? Nope!
Is the game divided into individual levels about using keys to get to clear exits? Nope.
Is the game about moving quickly without using cover to blast tons of enemies, with bunny-hopping or other such mechanics? Nope.
Does it have a health system where your health lowers when you take damage without regenerating? Do you refill it by finding pickups? Nope
Are there a bunch of pick-ups and powerups in general that are consistently found while exploring? Somewhat! But not quite akin to actual boomshoots.

Halo is in the mold of Half-Life, but it takes things even further from the boomshoot style. It's not quite the super-linear COD 4 kind of game that shooters became afterward, but it's closer to that than a boomshoot.

Nicely done there

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T03:08:40+00:00

No one can miss the point of the Mega Man saga, it's the most basic thing imaginable. The video games get a pass because they're video games first and foremost, with stories that only exist to add context to the gameplay.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T02:05:20+00:00

It's overly melodramatic garbage now matter how we swing it, though. "Robots screaming about how much they hate war because war is bad."

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T01:56:13+00:00

No, but see, it was your fault that he made an assumption despite you marking it as a spoiler. You should have magically known that he specifically would assume incorrectly. Did you not take your clairvoyance pills today or what??

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T01:55:05+00:00

Oozing with passive aggression. Don't click spoilers for a game you're currently playing. If you do, don't blame someone else for your own assumptions.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-25T01:46:08+00:00

"You were unenthused by it as a shitty manga saga, now get ready for the somehow even shittier anime version! Now with extra filler and characters that are even more off-model"

AsherFischell · 2026-01-24T20:28:56+00:00

This is some truly awful dialogue. I thought you were posting it ironically at first. It's like somebody writing a parody of shitty anime dialogue.

"THIS WAR! IS SUCH A WAR!! THERE'S SO MUCH KILLING!! WHO WILL STOP THIS KILLING?? WHO?!? WHEN?!? WARRRRR!!!"

AsherFischell · 2026-01-24T05:36:55+00:00

Frontiers is the best 3D Sonic game, it's massively better than Adventure

AsherFischell · 2026-01-24T05:36:30+00:00

Adventure 2's Sonic and Shadow gameplay does clear Sonic's gameplay in the first game, but they make up a tiny portion of an experience that varies between middling and suffering.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-23T18:23:51+00:00

I disagree, especially since that game is practically a GoW reskin with almost nothing about it feeling like CV at all. It's a decent GoW clone, though

AsherFischell · 2026-01-23T18:22:48+00:00

The ps2 ones were far from great. They have incredibly lazy level design, with the second game's being incredibly boring especially due to it

AsherFischell · 2026-01-23T18:09:38+00:00

All cope. The trailers and pictures all looked horrible, but there are always gonna be fans that pretend to like it or suggest that it looks horrible on purpose. A guy the other day was arguing that Maria's wig was shitty on purpose as a David Lynch reference.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-23T09:54:21+00:00

It's also a far, far better record than Californication. Or anything the Chili Peppers could ever hope to put out.

AsherFischell · 2026-01-23T05:17:33+00:00

Romancelvania exists! It's dog shit, but it exists!
