04.02.21 | Super castlevania rules. I grew up playing them but I hear you on the lvl of difficulty (do NOT play 1, 2, or 3, you will prob get very pissed haha). I had to use some save states to get through 3 and rondo of blood when coming back to them after decades (btw check out rondo if you enjoyed 4, it's rly good).
Big props for code veronica. Wish they'd remake that one |
bloc
04.02.21 | 2 is godly. It's actually SMB3 that I never got into much so we're reversed in that sense. |
Trebor.
04.02.21 | Yeah that's a common opinion
I've played a bit of Rondo, Gyro, but I have it on ps4 and you can't make save states lol |
Gyromania
04.02.21 | lol yeah i've got the same rondo/symphony collection on ps4. i had to play it on pc with save states before attempting to beat it legit on ps4 haha. it's awesome that i can play symphony on console though. that game is so damn good |

04.02.21 | I used to play a lot of Fire Emblem (now only have PS4/5, will prob get a used Switch for cheap some day), and I had the same experience you did with FE6. I really wanted to love the game because of the lore, but those bullshit ambushes sucked the joy out of playing. I managed to abuse save states so that the spawns wouldn’t automatically fuck a run, and still, at a certain point I just quit. Never made it past the 12th chapter or thereabouts. Horrible, horrible design. If not for that one quirk, I think I would’ve loved it. Too bad.
Anybody else playing Disco Elysium rn? I started it the other day, and it fucks |
Trebor.
04.02.21 | I'm playing Disco Elysium, loving it so far
Yeah, I basically had to play FE6 with the wiki always open so I could know when the ambush spawns happen, really dumb way to have to play the game |
Gyromania
04.02.21 | YES ROB. disco elysium is a masterpiece of the highest order. i'm going through it on ps4 right now (played it on pc originally). gotta say though, the bugs are extremely bad right now and i might put it down until that new patch comes out. sometimes it takes minutes for me to be able to select dialogue, sometimes npc voices cut out entirely, sometimes the game freezes. it's in a very rough state atm |
Storm In A Teacup
04.02.21 | Ugh I've been playing Destiny 2 and Fortnite with my little brother and when I dont do that I win solo squads in Fortnite. I want to be back in RPG mode but I dont have time to play for 4 or 8 or 12 hours at a time and RPGs are not fun to play for only an hour or two. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.02.21 | Also my parents gave me GTA and Red Dead Redemption 2 for my birthday but I have not opened them. 😪 |
DocSportello
04.02.21 | The bugs are not good, yeah. I’m on Day 3, playing with a PS5, and I’ve gotten to a point where I can’t progress at all bc a key object won’t render properly. Oh well. The fact that this game is as important to the medium as Watchmen was for graphic novels more than excuses the bugs. The patch will come soon, fingers crossed |
Trebor.
04.02.21 | "RPGs are not fun to play for only an hour or two."
Huh, I rarely play longer than an hour or two at a time and I play a ton of long games |
DocSportello
04.02.21 | sounds like someone needs to do a sl1 run of dark souls remastered
for your health |
Trebor.
04.02.21 | Take the plunge (you won't die) |
Gyromania
04.02.21 | Doc: yeah, it's probably the best game i've ever played in the genre, it just sucks that you guys have to experience it at a time when it's plagued with bugs. it's weird too because there are a lot of bugs on the ps5 version that don't exist on the ps4 and vice versa. hopefully the patch addresses every one of them. |
Gyromania
04.02.21 | also fortnite blows ass |
DocSportello
04.02.21 | Gryo: It does suck . . . I am procrastinating hardcore over here, and now I don't even have a good reason |
Parallels
04.02.21 | Imagine playing RE:CV on Dreamcast.... that console put a dark filter on everything just like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode. |
Trebor.
04.03.21 | Apparently the Dreamcast version is brighter than the PS2 version |
Storm In A Teacup
04.03.21 | i enjoy fortnite for the challenge of fighting the good players and the satisfaction of beating them |
Storm In A Teacup
04.03.21 | it's a good teamwork game as well |
Storm In A Teacup
04.03.21 | Crucible in destiny 2 is also a fun teamwork game with my brother |

04.03.21 | Code Veronica is such a bizarre ass game. It could've been a lot better if it kept the game a little smaller in scale. The first few hours are kind of good? Maybe my favorite part of the game tbh up until you have to go up to the mansion for the first time (that evil laugh is comical). Then the game makes you backtrack a lot but the game is super linear unlike 1&2 where you could strategies ways around monsters you don't want to fuck with. Another issue is the game having some really annoying monsters like the bandersnatch and that plane boss which is another instance of the game not signaling you might want to stock up before a hard battle. Not knowing to get the fire extinguisher for the magnum is also a low blow.
Antarctica is a lost opportunity that could've had something akin to the thing to happen but nothing really happens until you leave.
The cast is pretty obnoxious too, save Claire. I think the original version didn't even have wesker in it. Re4 is a good contrast to what the characters could be in the series but they rarely use it. Frustrating game tbh. Really great soundtrack, has some good moments, it's still better than 0, but it's one of the more frustrating titles I've played in the series and I played the Dead Aim. |
MyNameIsPencil
04.03.21 | "you need to leave supplies and weapons in the item box at the end of Claire’s campaign for Chris to use" yeah wtf was capcom smoking when they thought that would be a cool idea
if you want to truly suffer try playing resident evil survivor lmao |
Trebor.
04.03.21 | Chode veronica am I right |
Gyromania
04.03.21 | i am super pumped for re8, was a big fan of re7 |
Trebor.
04.03.21 | I rarely buy full price games but I'm playing re8 day 1 |
Storm In A Teacup
04.03.21 | I love Resident Evil 5 anyone else? |
Trebor.
04.03.21 | It's fine, def the second worst of the main series |
Gyromania
04.03.21 | 5 and 6 are objectively awful RE games but I gotta admit, they are fun arcade-y shooters if you can look past the fact that they're numbered games in the RE universe |
ConcubinaryCode
04.03.21 | At this point what determines what is a RE game anyway? |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | Good atmosphere and genuine scares |
protokute
05.07.21 | I don't find Resident Evil 5 that bad, all the chapters feels very atmospheric and well-thought-out, with some interesting puzzles/mechanics, and I had a lot of fun with it, and I always played it solo, Sheva can be a pain sometimes but totally manageable |
