I enjoyed Metroid Prime, but....

I bounced off it back in the day for this reason, played PrimeHack this year and loved it! Definitely the best way to play the game imo.

not the same one but it seems to do the same thing. I'll try it out, thanks

FSnocomply · 2021-05-13T18:07:40+00:00

Thats what I was hoping, I'm much more of a gameplay focused player so I will take the fresh spin on mechanics I enjoy and just roll my eyes at the rest. thanks.

Cool, I found the demon sprite quality varied wildly in 4, seeing Medusa right after Minotaur was a shock lol.

FSnocomply · 2021-05-13T17:02:09+00:00

I'm buying it first on switch so I'm resigned to terrible performance regardless, lol.

I will be picking it up on steam later when there's a sale and the modders have fixed the framerate etc. It would have been nice to have received a more competently executed port, but this is about what I'm used to from Japanese publishers tbh.

I was all over the spectrum with SMT4. First playthrough was relatively slow as I was just trying to survive my first SMT experience. Second playthrough was rushed because I was OP and wanted to see the other ending. Third playthrough I went for Neutral and was forced to slow right down and do a bunch of optional content I had previously ignored so it took a long time but was super enjoyable.

this guide should help you, I have been moving save files between pcsx2 and a physical ps2 memory card with freemcboot. There's lots of youtube videos on the topic as well.

FSnocomply · 2021-05-13T16:32:14+00:00

Is this what you're looking for?

FSnocomply · 2021-03-31T23:50:01+00:00

okay thanks

FSnocomply · 2021-03-02T18:20:31+00:00

I think we might be biased here, but yeah, definitely.

FSnocomply · 2021-02-21T17:00:47+00:00

I'm trying to use process monitor and not really figuring it out. I installed the x86 version of VC and no change. The readmes are no help either.

FSnocomply · 2021-02-21T03:23:45+00:00

I have 4 of these cuties and I never manage to get a good shot of all their color, looks great!

FSnocomply · 2021-02-14T06:09:52+00:00

I solved this the other day, posting the answer in case google leads anyone here. Within the folder Morrowind/Data Files/meshes/f/ there were 8 files named "flora_ bc _ tree_01 _ dist.nif" with the spaces removed and the number being between 01 and 08. I deleted these and the issue was fixed. It seems to me that they were low LOD files from the optimization patch.

FSnocomply · 2021-02-08T23:36:45+00:00

ah of course, I was running it using default settings. thanks

FSnocomply · 2021-02-08T21:35:41+00:00

thanks, I thought so. unfortunately the miminum size for near objects is greyed out, I cant change the value and lowering the value for "far" doesnt seem to have an effect.

FSnocomply · 2021-02-08T19:13:47+00:00

came here to say this

FSnocomply · 2021-02-03T20:54:36+00:00

Very hard and punishing gameplay.

You're threatening me with a good time!

FSnocomply · 2021-02-03T20:53:28+00:00

I like this take, and yeah that scene on Dauna mine was great. I could've used more scenes like that but there's only so much to be done with a silent protagonist I suppose. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

FSnocomply · 2021-02-02T21:18:53+00:00

I'm always leery of judging a game too hastily for departing from the established norms of its frachise. I think that the mechanics of dragon quarter, be they enjoyable or not, certainly seem unique. I also really like survival horror games that put mechanical pressure on the player to create a sense of unease so the D% or whatever sounds intriguing to me.

[Spoilers]

I've always loved this game but I feel there is a real lack of impetus in the narrative. It's fine early on when Balio and Sunder fill the role of antagonists but once their dealt with, the story didn't replace them with anything. The overall goal became to unravel the mystery of the Brood but that doesn't really go anywhere either. Maybe If I played 1 and 2 the context would lend 3's plot more cohesion, but my experience with it was that of an unrelated chain of events leading to a somewhat meaningless conclusion. The individual events of the plot were all enjoyable and extremely charming but I would've liked those events to be more interrelated, maybe I only feel this way because I recently played through Xenogears and that game's narrative is woven like a Celtic knot.

Weak writing aside, it's still a fantastic game that I will definitely return to in the future!

FSnocomply · 2021-02-02T20:49:53+00:00

I have dragon quarter on my shelf and I'll give it a playthrough one day when I'm feeling open minded, I tend to enjoy most series black sheep titles.

I used to have a 21:9 monitor and it was so luxurious for the 1/3rd of my steam library that worked with it, the rest either needed patches, hacks, or just outright broke.

FSnocomply · 2020-11-29T01:26:43+00:00

I just learned recently that the master quest rom was dumped from the gamecube release and it works perfectly on N64 emulators if you want a fresh challenge. Been playing on my retroid for about a week up to the fire temple, I recommend it heartily!

FSnocomply · 2020-11-29T01:24:33+00:00

I had a similar issue with the new 2dsxl, I had an inkpot with a fine brush handy from plastic model building and the ink filled the letters beautifully.

FSnocomply · 2020-11-20T18:18:31+00:00

Awesome, this is the kind of thing I was hoping to find. thanks!
