I beat the game out of principle with a little shy of 90 percent, 45-ish hours. I skipped the white palace, the dream realm boss rematches, the 2nd and 3rd levels of the coliseum, and the fight with Grimm, but that’s about it. I can assure you the problem is not that I didn’t play the game thoroughly.

It wasn’t “eh, this just isn’t for me,” it was that I get zero enjoyment out of games that are, as I said, stupidly difficult just for the sake of being difficult. Which lead to the game constantly derailing every time things started to get going (JUST LET ME EXPLORE THE NEAT LITTLE BUG WORLD DAMMIT). Add to that the…

I’m so torn on this one. It looks fantastic, but after being so profoundly disappointed with Hollow Knight I’m gun shy. And I usually hate the whole roguelike “die, reset, repeat” thing, and procedural generation is never as satisfying as clear level design. BUT...I’ve recently been enjoying the piss out of 20XX, so…

Glad to see Megaton Rainfall get more exposure.  Sure it’s a bit rough around the edges, but damn if it’s not fun as hell.

DK world = Zebes confirmed?

It’s almost as if they were all friends and thus weren’t actually trying to kill each other.

“I also remain skeptical of any Metroidvania where difficulty is a primary selling point. I play these sorts of games specifically for rewarding exploration, not Souls-like ass kickings.”

Oh I hope somebody records this

God, this was the absolute WORST map system I have ever seen in a game, by a wide, wide margin. Fuck that “explaining its logic” shit, it’s a video game. I’m not looking for real-world logic, I want the basic functions of the game to just work, without having to jump through needless hoops. This game has absolutely no…

I finished everything in this game, except this fight. Because, well....*gestures at everything above.* And you know what? Fuck it, I don’t have time for this kind of shit in games anymore. Life is frustrating enough, I don’t need intentional frustration baked into my recreational activities. After multiple days of…

EmuParadise took down most of the first party Nintendo stuff ages ago and isn’t based in the U.S.

“That’s how you become a cannibal, Dee. Look, you get one taste of delicious, delicious human meat and none of this stuff ever satisfies you ever again for the rest of your life”

I really wish they would release the Mario Kart Arcade tracks as dlc, many of those are quite fun.

Exact same situation here. Cycle is awesome but completely pointless at this point. The game desperately needs more postgame content and new game plus.

“Missing the original Master Cycle itself, but the wheels and wing show different stats between the two.”

Or,

Yes, yes it does.

*reads headline*

Come to think of it, I’m not sure I even finished the second one...

Huh.
