Reiterpallasch? Yeah, I wasn't crazy about it in my gun-only run. I used Hunter Pistol -> Repeating Pistol -> Reiterpallasch originally, then ended up switching Reiter out for Evelyn for the last third or so of the game. Worked out a lot better. Just realized, I haven't even used like...

Yeah, I couldn't get into FC2. Too antiquated, map system and travel etc were total pains. I did try for a few hours but eventually gave up and just started the series with FC3 (still my favorite). I know what you mean about cheating. Only game I've done that with was GTA San Andreas, which I...

Yeah I consider Cleric Beast the first boss even though it's...sorta optional, I guess? It's closer to the beginning and easier than Father G by a lot. I second that talking about the first area makes me want to play the game again. I spent, hands-down, more time in the first area than any...

Yeah, AM2R is complete. Metroid 2 was the second game I ever owned, and the first I was super-into. For me AM2R is much more faithful to it than Samus Returns. After Zero Mission, for a long time I was hoping for a similar thing to happen with M2, since it's the hardest to go back to...

This video was pretty tremendous. I could necro the Souls thread and drop it there, but I think it's fine here too.

Unless it's peaked. Not saying it has and I don't remotely think it has, but it's possible. There's a chance, even if it's small, that skeptics are going to be proven right. And unfortunately ETH probably won't be making those kinds of parabolic moves again. Getting in early with all of this...

We are checking boxes, can confirm. Venezuela's transformation from 2009 to 2020 is an insanely stark contrast, and looking at their decisionmaking along the years will pull up numerous parallels to the US. Right now we're comparable to Venezuela midway down their path to ruin, while continuing...

There are better things than BTC to invest in long-term. Lots of people have made the comparison already, but the trendsetter isn't usually the one that takes things to new heights. Myspace got supplanted by Facebook, Yahoo got surpassed by Google, Atari paved the way for Nintendo to blow it...

The ones you haven't played, in the order I'd prioritize them personally: Yeah, Zero Mission will all be familiar yet different. It's a great game, well worth playing or even getting 100% in. If you want to play a Zero Mission 2 (aka direct remake of Metroid 2 in a similar to ZM engine) play...

It "echoes" your thoughts on Metroid? Badum-pssh! ...I'll show myself out. Yeah, the demand seems borderline excessive for a lot of PS1/PS2 era games. Though a lot of that is also collectors/whales.

37% APY? WTF. Why even leave that pool? That's insane. Meanwhile I'm over here with a small amount of money in USDC on Blockfi getting 9% APR

For me it was Elemental Gearbolt on the PS1. Not because of any technical difficulties, but because the game is SO DIFFICULT. I don't even think I was ever able to get very far in it despite numerous tries. It's sort of like Panzer Dragoon except I think it's on-rails (so all you do is aim)...

@Denamian Yeah my C1 OLED did the same thing at first with turning on alongside things it was paired with. I don't remember how I fixed it on Switch (maybe it just didn't do it with Switch), but for PS5 I went into the PS5 settings and disabled "HDMI Device Link" IIRC. I think it's in the same...

Not gonna lie, this looks great. However for some reason I've never been able to get into any unofficial fanmade games. I really tried with some of the Super Metroid hacks, and the Chrono Trigger sequel (Crimson something). Just couldn't, they lacked the spark of their source material. At least...

I'm still playing on CR1 as Catti. Did the first 3 worlds with Drizzt and then the 4th and 5th with Catti. I tried the "farm two chests at the beginning of level 1 on C6" strat but it didn't let me keep any loot after exiting out, just the gold/ores. 5th world has been rough, not looking forward...

It isn't, no. For someone in your situation I don't recommend this at all. Not sure why they felt the need to make PS5's second major exclusive, which PS5 owners have waited months for, so inaccessible to the average player. Between this and Demon's Souls it's like Sony thinks that the only PS5...

Since MP Trilogy doesn't seem to be getting a Switch release and the Wii version is wildly overpriced, I started looking into Gamecube copies of MP1 and 2 (I'm not that into 3). And man, the Gamecube versions are wildly overpriced now too. It's absolutely nuts. Plus you may or may not need a...

I think the difficulty jump from the first four worlds to World 5 indicates missing content. Reminds me of things like Fable and Secret of Mana where gear/enemy levels just take a quantum leap forward halfway through the game, as if the middle third of the game is missing. Does the difficulty...

That's how I feel about Resident Evil Zero. What a total slog that game is. Between the obscure puzzles (aka things that give you no clue what to do with them), the tank controls, and the inventory system being atrocious, I always give up on it quickly whenever I take another stab at it. God of...

This part of Metroid Prime's title screen music is one of the most amazing and memorable tracks I've ever heard in a game. I actually remember where I was when I first heard it. I was about to go in for a 13 hour work shift at a warehouse and had like one hour to play before I headed out, I was...

In my experience they're both really good, but OLED is better. Thing is, if you've never had an OLED, you probably won't notice that the QLED is lacking in some areas, though. I had a Sony for a while and I thought that was pretty awesome until I got an OLED that made it suddenly look dated...

While I enjoyed World 1, I'm on World 5 now (out of 7, it looks like) and I've got two major issues: A) What you see in World 1 is basically THE ENTIRE GAME. It's just room after room fighting the same goblins/ogres/trolls and collecting the same drops. The only difference from level to level...

I'm maining Drizzt now in the early worlds. Should I just switch to the archer so she can start accumulating equipment? I'm doing fine with Drizzt but I've also read that the archer is best for beating the game and that meleers have a very hard time later on. If I use Drizzt until I'm forced not...

Other M's devs have had nothing to do with further Metroid games, IIRC. This one shares devs with Samus Returns, the remake of Metroid 2 from a few years ago. Looks like it'll play largely the same, too. Which is unfortunate for me, because I didn't really like SR. However this looks a lot more...

Nintendo Switch Release Date: October 8th Surprised there wasn't a thread for this already. First 2D Metroid sequel in 19 years. Didn't think I'd ever see a Metroid 5 but here we are. Samus is sent to a planet called ZDR to stop a resurgence of X Parasites, thought to be extinct, after a team...

I'm just solo-playing and beat world 1-1 easily with the archer. Then I switched to Drizzt and did world 1-1 again and beat it even more easily with him. I liked playing as him so much that I stuck with him for 1-2 and 1-3. I'm gonna keep playing as him unless the game forces me to go back to...

I might put my BTC towards this, those rates aren't bad at all. I'm going to try to set up the liquidity in Uniswap that was being discussed earlier using ETH, otherwise I'd add that to this too.

Yeah, maybe I should have thrown all my extra money into something like this instead of into crypto with its volatility and unreliability. Stable coins sounds like a good idea here though. I might start investing into this once I'm done reaching my crypto-buying goals.

Signed up for a BlockFi account since crypto stored there generates interest. They're having a limited-time offer where they give you "up to $250 of Bitcoin as a sign-on bonus if you fund your account with at least $100". That's what the emails and ads say, verbatim. Even after signing up, it's...

I don't mean politics in games, I mean overall real-world events have killed my enthusiasm for things like hobbies in 2021. A bit of depression dashed with crippling anxiety has been the norm lately, and most of the games I've started in 2021 I didn't enjoy and gave up on quickly (even the...

I love the hell out of this game but I've avoided playing beyond the first chapter for a while now because I don't want to ruin it for myself. Hard to explain, but I haven't enjoyed most of the things I've played in 2021 due to my own mental probs (read: due to politics). I really want this to...

I think a friend of mine is wading into the shitcoin pool. He texted me that he's all over buying something called "Rocket Bunny" and that it was the hot thing that was going to make bank. I looked it up and it's at like 0.00000065 cents. I see the appeal, but...animal coins. Joke will be on...

I'm still considering setting up a mining rig, but I'm waiting until Nov or so. It'll take me about that long to get the parts to set it up, and as of right now it'd be impractical heat-wise anyway. During the cold part of the year I can use the rig as a space heater to knock off heating bills...

Played it for 40 minutes, finished the first level, had to take a break because nausea. Not sure what caused the nausea, but it set in when I found myself just collecting endless shit off the ground between fights. I sniped the level boss down without ever engaging it or getting attacked back...

I eventually tapped out on this one. People who really dedicate themselves to it are gonna get a lot out of it, and the look of the world is second to none. As somebody with other shit to do, 12 hours of this where I didn't make it out of the first area was enough for me. Souls games can get...

GO WRITE BOOKS, FAT MAN.

Yeah, I played through Assassin's Creed Unity at a time when everyone and their mother was panning the game as a glitch-filled disaster, and I think I maybe encountered two glitches in the entire 20 hours or so I was playing it. Had a great time with it, ranked it right up there with AC2 and AC4.

Anyone actually playing as the d0rf in this mess? I can't believe I'm gonna play this instead of getting back to Resident Evil 8. Well, it is what it ees, as Macho Man used to say
