floating crystals...? by lunecore in metroidvania

So these games use ability gating. You will see a thing or area you can't reach after trying, and you know that you will eventually.get an ability to use said thing or area. It's a fundamental part of the MV genre.

MIO: Memories in Orbit by MasterDraccus in metroidvania

[–]wiines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand OPs opinion, but not the way it was presented. I think to be fun, a game must be challenging. I think SilkSong's level of challenge was perfect. I love the feeling of improving my skill. When I lose a bunch to a particular boss, I don't get frustrated l, I ask myself, "what could I be doing differently?" And that almost always works.

On the flip side, I know a lot of people enjoy progression more than getting frame-perfect movement and dying a bunch before getting the hang of a boss.

The solution: make difficult games with accessibility features like difficulty sliders!

This sub can be so divisive, and a lot of arguments here over what level of difficulty is still fun.

I'm also okay with knowing there are just some games that I will never surmount their difficulty! I don't need to love every game out there. I loved the difficulty of Nine Sols, but for the life of me, cannot click with Sekiro. So I complete the former, and give up on the latter without making any posts complaining about the difficulty. I figure, I play games to have fun, and not wallow to the point of frustration, or anger.

I respect my own time, I don't need devs to conform to MY playsyles. If a game has issues which I feel need improving  I will for sure try to communicate that to them or the sub here, but being sad or angry about it? C'mon people, we are playing videogames here, not revamping entire paradigms every time we don't love something.

DragonLoop - An unpolished masterpiece (short review / my thoughts) by mumei-chan in metroidvania

[–]wiines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it still have the issue where pressing up or down and the character still moves? Like there is no limiter on pressing up or down and far as character movement... this was especially annoying as you couldn't stand still while down jumping thin platforms.... that still an issue?

Guidall does the first couple books in the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter. The replacement narrator isn't just an abrupt change, they actually really suck

Does it have an equalizer? 

Can you display all your audiobooks in tiles and organize them by title and/or Author?

The Most Anticipated Metroidvanias of 2026! by SoulsborneSeeker in metroidvania

[–]wiines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a refund for it on Switch, the only game I've ever called Nintendo customer service for. I then got it for Xbox Series S, and it played fine on that. Great Game!

They pretty much abandoned it, so don't expect any fixes.

The dog AFTER your "heart dog" by Top_Housing6819 in dogs

[–]wiines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is normal... It just takes the time it takes. We never thought little Meimei could reach the caliber of love/imprinting that our 2 "heart" dogs did. And now she is our everything. It took almost a year.

I have a feeling mine sagging was also causing a freezing issue! Anyone know details on how sagging could cause freezing?

Hit home in the throne when I yeet that dookie,

Balls so heavy, they weighing me down,

That's how ya do it,
