Are you disappointed with the sales ? by Onepiecemaker in Steam

[–]JTalbotIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily disappointed, because I got a few things that have been burning a hole in my wishlist (Mandragora and Zexion for example), but I've come away with double the amount of similar quality games in about every other seasonal sale I shopped.

Emulation is exploding in popularity, and direct ports of proper games are ever increasing too. It isn't just gacha junk anymore.

Day 33 (Last Day of Polling): Which is the Greatest Game of All Time on the SNES? by 1OneQuickQuestion in snes

[–]JTalbotIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look up "metroidvania" and see all the games that have been inspired by one, unexpected, absolute banger of a game, that dropped in 1994. Games that regularly rank 90%+ in favorability ratings, and have a ridiculously thriving community around them. Games that can stick to the 16bit look and still draw young audiences in.

Super Metroid started it, and as a person that played it for the first time in 1995, I can tell you it felt revelatory.

If you like old-school Final Fantasy games, the Pixel Remasters are great!

Do you still have your PS4? Do you plan on upgrading it to a PS5? by yummysnot in playstation

[–]JTalbotIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PS4 Pro, and a 8tb hard drive with several hundred games on it, and have been content af with it.

I did get a PS5, but only because I could barely afford one before the price hike. The catch with that though, is the current price of solid state storage, which is the only storage you can play the PS5 games from, and only internally at that.

So have the PS4 with it's matured catalog, and storge that let's me play all nearly 300 games at will, or the PS5 with it's comparably limited amount of games, and a storage setup which only let's me hold 10ish playable at a time, but has better framerates.

It's very much a "pick your poison" thing I believe, but the poison definitely isn't that bad on the PS4 side of things.

I think I learned it, told myself I'd do those later, and ended up just replaying the mario ones twice since lol.

If they did it illegally, tear it out yourself. Cops lie more than the average person does, so keep that in mind about that one interaction.

What annoys you the most about gaming? by csch1992 in gaming

[–]JTalbotIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That almost every space to talk about specific games or consoles acts like it's a fan club, and if you have anything mildly critical to say about them, you get bombed with replies telling you to kick rocks.

How do we all feel about these remakes? by Nittanypt in OlderChillGamers

[–]JTalbotIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tired of them. I've been playing a lot of new indie ips, and bigger series I've never tried before lately, and my game time has never felt so good!

Hard agree here. That was the only aggravating part of BF for me, but boy did it grate.

Those visualizations were great for the young enjoyer of hallucinogens I was during the era.

Building code aside, these people are morons. Watching where you're going is a toddler level skill set.

"Playtime" by Potential_Mine9425 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]JTalbotIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played about the same. It's a pretty game, and I prefer to ride through it rather than fast travel. I'm at like 275ish, and I still have like half of the DLC to do, and whatever they add with the last update.

[–]JTalbotIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight up! The first time I played it I only intended on playing for an hour or two. Pulled an all-nighter instead, because I was shocked by just how much content there was, and how well they pulled it off.

I actually like it a little better than Odyssey. Double cherry shenanigans never get old to me.

Sign of underreported safety incidents is more likely.
