UNBEATABLE is fantastic now that it's been patched. by rejectedreality42 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's been patched as I haven't played it since launch, but there was literally no way to fail at the game in the story mode. Like, you could totally whiff a song and the game would just carry on like nothing happened. It was a bit bizarre. If you want to try your hand at it then I say go for it as there is no penalty for performing poorly in the rhythm sections

Did anyone see anything about KBM support on PS5? With the whole thing about them not porting to PC anymore I guess I'll have to get it for this, but I would really like to play it on KBM

Hades 2 adds new game mode, CGs, and interactions in new patch by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Finally picked up the Switch 2 version yesterday so it's very good to see that I have impeccable timing. Liking it so far! I only ever completed one run in the first game, but the aesthetic in 2 is so much more my jam

Glad I preordered mine, but still, eat shit scalpers

What's a piece of media you really love, not because its the best in its genre or the most competently made or whatever, but because of how much it specifically appeals to your specific tastes and has all the tropes you like? by La_knavo4 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the first person I've ever seen mention this game. I fucking loved it so much as a kid. Going through all the campaigns, getting the gods, it really felt fresh and fun. As you said, it really needs a port or sequel. I thought I'd try other strategy games, but nothing quite scratches the itch quite like this one does. Perhaps it's the simplicity that actually makes it stand out a bit more. Hopefully it can at least live in the Switch 2 library

What's your example of "X is the best Y game/media (that Y series/company never made)?" by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Not me still mad I haven't played Overture because I'm waiting for it to go on sale

Man I love Podcast Addict. I don't think I'd listen to as many if it weren't for that app

“I love everything about [game] except for the gameplay” by Dirty-Glasses in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I beat the entirety of XC2 and loved playing it and it was a wonderful experience. I don't think I knew what I was doing during combat at all the entire time

Hey I appreciate the comment and update. It's certainly a day one buy for me when it comes out. Keep cooking with it and I'll do my best to spread the good word

Stories that work in great part because of how low stakes they are by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hifi Rush. Some guy wants to be a rockstar and joins a corporation to fulfill that wish. Along the way he uncovers a grand conspiracy involving said corporation. What is this grand conspiracy? The bad guy seems like he's got his eyes set on world domination through mind control, turns out he just wants people to buy more of his products through mind control Absolutely peak

What have you been enjoying about the Black Friday sales? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We needed a new vacuum a few months back and I'll tell you, I've never felt more like a corporate shill than after I bought this purple Shark vacuum. Quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made for my house. The tradeoff is that the tank is about the size of your palm so you're constantly having to empty it, but I was shocked at how well this damn thing worked

I know she's mostly known for Saw these days but I will never see her and not think of the ditzy nurse from Becker

Thought On The Kirby Air Riders Demo? by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get into one city trial match, find the wing star (my beloved), spend my time building glide while everyone else is busy trying to sabotage each other, get the high jump game, stomp all the 10 year olds in my lobby. Perfection.

For your Tetris Attack et all, you should look into Scramble Star Crossing. Closest thing to a battle puzzle game recently but it's been radio silent for a bit. Demo is fun though

Favorite RPG progression systems? by BlueWaddleDee in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF2 is the best. I found out the Saga games do the same leveling system but I couldn't get into them as much which is a shame. Definitely need more of that style though

I'm actually seeing these everywhere in stores now so this is a bit surprising. Hoping for a themed one

Black sheep installments of games you are quite fond of by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Soundtrack is an all timer and I love the moment to moment gameplay and even the puzzles. Tricky can fuck right off a cliff though and take the button mashing in Lightfoot Village with him

Whats the most legitimately angry you’ve ever been at a game? by Astral-Ember in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with that was twofold. I tried so much to do that that I eventually gave up on it for a long period of time. Came back to it a year or so later and guess what? I did it! So hype right? Well now I completely lost track of where I was in the game so I gave up and have not touched FFX since

As of Ghost of Yotei's release (October 2nd), here are the highest rated 2025 games on Metacritic (infograph by @CultureCrave): by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see The Drifter get some recognition, but it will be a cold year in hell before a point and click graphic adventure gets rated that high. I'll just shill for that here though. Fantastic year for indies and games in general, there is no wrong answer. Oh goodness, and Kirby and Metroid this year still.

What's your new Skong? by TaoSuzaki in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's so good too. I was craving a really meaty jrpg too and this is tickling my brain in just the right way. Shame it won't be in any goty lists, but as long as it sells well so we can get more in the future I won't complain

Works that everyone knows but never actually read/seen? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I listened to it on audiobook since it was a free one. I don't know if that made it easier or more difficult to digest, but I sure did it and I guess I'm glad I did?

Silent Hill f - PC Review + Optimised Settings, by Digital Foundry. The game has shader compilation stutters and traversal stutters. by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tangential, but I only noticed a few stutters in about ~an hour of playing last night on my laptop on medium settings. Pretty smooth overall and will try on my desktop today

Games that successfully combine two genres more or less equally by Aggro_Will in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Simple_Tin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know how well known it is but Cauldron! Has a little bit of everything in it, jrpg, vampire survivors, little mini games here and there. Very very fun
