Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight
WiiU-style bad naming, perhaps? I had no idea “anniversary edition” had redone art assets.
Momo is FF9 due to a separate listing for Tetra Master starter pack DLC.
I’ll play whatever game is good, from whatever platform has the best price, provided it’s compatible.
It’s excellent. There’s missing art assets (placeholder graphics, especially noticeable with the keepsakes - they’re all just gold rings with a single letter pricetag rn), but the gameplay loop is great, the mechanics all appear to be in place and the audio is incredible (just wait until the zone 2 boss fight).
It absolutely feels like a worthy successor to the original. Mel plays very differently than Zag, but the controls are no less tight. God Mode returns if you dislike “git gud”.
Playing it on my Steamdeck, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Lawyers gonna lawyer. And Japanese companies have never embraced modding.
Don’t forget distribution. It costs money to make a nice cartridge. It costs money to stamp a CD and put it in a pretty box. And that cost applies for every. single. copy.
Now compare that to digital distribution…
Roguelikes, such as Hades. A single run won’t take you longer than 30mins (and often far, far less than that – you’ll die, a lot).
Every run is progress. And if you feel like you’re not progressing fast enough, you can turn on “God Mode” (the protagonist is a god) and gain 2% damage reduction after each death, to make subsequent runs a little easier (no penalty in doing so, either).
Music is integral to build the game’s overall atmosphere. At least indie studios still get it: Look at Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Hades, Vampire Survivors, etc.
Still describing the Diablo 3 in-game real money auction house. People just gathered the quickest-to-gather saleable thing over and over, sold it en masse for real money. Little money × many transactions = lotsa money. Then they bought the good stuff.
Became a gold farm simulator, as full stacks of gold were saleable. If they had blocked gold sales (can’t remember if they did do so eventually), it would’ve just moved to X relatively-common legendary item.
First Steamworld game I didn’t really get into.
IMO, Heist > Dig2 > Dig1 > Quest > TD > Build
It’ll get an influx of players next month with the GamePass release. How long that lasts is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least Magic cards are physical goods.
Edit: But apparently, MtG Arena is digital.
I’d like to see the actual Elf Wars. It’s a gap between the events of MMX and MMZ.
They already did X remaster on PSP; wasn’t awful, wansn’t great.
This article’s premise is BS. Easy mode is for people of any age who have not gotten gud.
I don’t disagree with you, but a lot of people, when presented with new game mechanics, don’t have the time to spend “getting gud”.
I know that if I were to start playing, for instance, Hollow Knight today, rather than at its release (cleared Pantheon of Hollownest), I’d likely have to put it down or install a nail damage increase mod – I have kids now; no time to grind at bosses to learn the patterns.
Jellyfin happily runs on a pi, but really only for direct streaming.
You’re generally better off just making the pi a samba server and connecting to it in Kodi. For jellyfin, you really do want a 7th Gen Intel or better (old 7100t-based thin clients are «chef’s kiss»).
They made a comment about VR during one of their OLED Deck interview. Deckard – whatever it is – is still in the works, I presume.
Wouldn’t shock me in the slightest
