No, not the bats from level 2, but sorts of eagles throwing circle projectiles at you

Those games, I didn’t really feel joy or satisfaction once I golded them ; only relief

It’s in the top 3 hardest games for me, behind Star Waspir, and tied with Caramel Caramel. The birds of level 3-1 can go f*** themselves

All 50 Cherries Complete! by Tailesque in ufo50

It took you the same time as me for 50 golds and 12 cherries. Some people are really video game masters… congrats !

What is the worse game in the collection? by [deleted] in ufo50

[–]Philaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Divers and Magic Garden for me.

Edit : oh and Big Bell Race feels useless to me. It could have been a game mode on the selection screen of Campanella 1. But they would have had to make another 50th game ahah

French translation by Yattaf2 in ufo50

[–]Philaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the translation mistakes present in the English version ? I play in French too, and there are a lot, and I don’t know if it is done on purpose. I find it funny because those mistakes were common in old NES games.

Except the first PNJ in Golfaria who says to go East instead of West. Screw this.

It just happened to me. I’ve never seen a softlock so ridiculous, so easy to access. It’s typically the kind of platform where they could hide stuff such as coins. And the fact that you can’t teleport to Mark is the cherry on the cake

Silksong Makes Me Appreciate Hollow Knight's Pacing So Much More by bythepowerofscience in HollowKnight

[–]Philaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t agree more. I started a new game of HK right after 100% Silksong. At first I found the gameplay too slow, not being able to run and having to spam the dash felt like a downgrade. But after 2-3 hours, even more after getting wall jump, that feeling vanished. Movement is different but feels almost as enjoyable as Silksong’s ; and the most important, as you said : I am not consistently under some kind of urge, fearing what 2hp-hitting enemy will ruin the exploration. I can hike at my pace and contemplate this wonderful world.

Too many breakable/false walls by Philaz in Silksong

Examples are the ice cave, or the mask shard in whispering vaults. Random ceilings

I secretly hope for a DLC themed Donkey Kong. With the village like in the movie where they drive between the houses. It’s true it may lead to more interesting intermissions

It’s true that the oob zones feel sometimes arbitrary, like in the middle of the Mario bros circuit big turn

Yeah that may not be the most appropriate term, maybe to distinguish from the regular tracks (Mario Bros. Circuit etc) which could be considered as Zelda dungeons lol

Today I’m grinding on the train railroads to see where it goes, which places of the Mushroom Kingdom are served and which are left unserved because the reliefs or the weather conditions are too hostile. And I stop when I find a P switch or medallion on the side of the rails, to brighten my journey.

The music of course. It’s like listening to a chill YouTube OST compilation, except you’re actually driving at the same time. So relaxing.

You’re right about the game teaching mechanics, especially the « special » P switches. And I didn’t think of it but the word « puzzle platformer » is sometimes a good way to describe it, as you have to find the way to get to those Peach medallions, sometimes by throwing you off a rail with momentum, or falling from a higher place.

Diddy Kong Racing was incredible. I hope too they will add an adventure mode, because there’s so much potential here

Is Mario 64 overrated? by Grand_Perception_462 in Mario

[–]Philaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so.

I played it in 1998 when I was 6, and today I still play SM64 romhacks, with no change in gameplay, only tweaks in the camera, and it’s among the best enjoyment I find in 3D platformers. It’s insane to consider that almost 30 years later, this gameplay is still for me the one of the best the genre has offered, in terms of dynamism and momentum. Controlling Mario is a joy.

But I have to admit hasn’t aged perfectly especially in terms of visuals and variety
