Ya ha ha! (or, the video games thread)

[toase]

I've been playing Paladins (aka Overwatch with horses) a lot lately
kill me

I played some Super Mario Sunshine yesterday.

That game is fun.

[Elphenor]

That game is underrated yes

[Elphenor]

I think that's the premier of baby bowser spoiler

[Run To Me]

That's GameCube right? I missed out on that system b/c I was spending all my discretionary $$$s on alcoholic suicide when it came out

I see used ones going for like $75; besides wind waker (and the fact they're fun to piss on) is the library on a GameCube sufficient that one should consider picking one up for oneself? Any one?

[Elphenor]

yeah I may be biased because Gamecube was the prime system of my childhood (IM YOUNG) but it's the one I always return to by emulation

there's a great Fire Emblem game on it I'm into right now

the best Smash Bros.

I think Luigi's Mansion is worth a play through

you can get the remastered Ocarina on it, Wind Waker, and 4 swords

Metroid Prime is surprisingly brilliant, a first person Metroid

[Shadaloo]

-Wind Waker, Twilight Princess to some extent
-Metroid Prime games are all a shit ton of fun
-If you like horror, Eternal Darkness is one of the best horror games ever made

Yes and he says that Peach is his mother and she gets confused by it.

Awkward...

[LaBelle]

So far Mario Sunshine seems cool. It's a bit harder to control than the other Mario games and very unforgiving in spots.

I have 2 for PS3 ya I love the art style i need to play it some more

[buzzard]

One of the few shooters in more recent times that allowed for local multiplayer.

[Elphenor]

Oh oh oh

Run 2 Me

You ever play Paper Mario RPG

The one on the GameCube is so good fuck everything else I rec'd it's all trash play Paper Mario Thousand Year Door

[Shadaloo]

Metroid: Samus Returns awaits me at my post office. Fucking A

[Shallowed]

I've started playing Terraria again, after barely playing it for years

It's kind of frustrating not having the creativity to make anything more than squarish houses. My current abode is a mishmash of wooden square houses, with the beginnings of a stone castle built on the side, a fully fledged but non functional and purely aesthetic bathroom, and a mutant glass house for growing herbs to use in potions.

[LaBelle]

I played a lot of Sonic Mania, that game is really really hard. But it's a good old/new sonic game.

[Run To Me]

Any you other jr scientists gonna play super mario odyssey this weekend? Just found out my copy is OUT FOR DELIVERY as we fucken speak

Gonna be hard to pull myself away from finding koroks and busting for resources in steamworld dig, but the hyperbolic reviews suggest this might just be the GOAT video game of ever

[reprise85]

i beat fallout 4 with prob the standard way most people choose to beat it.

so i just started over, on very hard difficulty. i wanted to do survival but i can't deal with save only on sleep. i can't always commit to beating an obstacle in one sitting.

im sick today so im staying home and playing.

[Run To Me]

I've been playing fallout 3 as trotskilicious (kill all neoliberals, take their bottle caps, and redistribute to the poor) it's so fucken bleak and violent and awful, I love it. Turned the music off so it's just me, the wind, and the ghastly click of radscorpions


Great contrast to botw which is the other end of the spectrum, just teeming with greenery and exuberant lifeforms

[buzzard]

Survival mode does add a lot of detail, for what it's worth.

You end up forced to prioritize when it comes to carry weight as well as actually think about maintaining food, water and medical supplies. Tougher fights require a great deal more strategy and some of the previously worthless junk items become significantly more relevant to making it through the week. I've also found that the lack of fast travel heightens immersion, where I had previously just zipped around the map hwilly-nilly and was never made to feel any more than a click or two away from safety.

[reprise85]

if there's a mod that can let me use survival except being able to save whenever i'd be down

[Tchocky]

Playing the Quake Champions beta. Goddamn that game is fast. Struggling with the nuances of it so I die a lot.

[Tchocky]

As much as I love Overwatch (and I do love it) I'm thinking about making another game my go-to. Seems like a lot of people playing that are playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Might give that a spin...seems fun.

Beyond that, I'm just waiting for DragonBall Fighter Z to come out. Shit looks baller.

[Disco King]

Been playing those Arkham games. I'm on Origins now.

I'm a completionist, so I didn't want to play Origins until I 100%ed City, but I just couldn't. Those "campaigns" are bullshit (let's package together three challenges you already did and call it a new game mode!), and even though I only have one more balloon to pop in the Harley Quinn DLC, I can't be arsed to play the whole thing again and suffer through Tara Strong's grating Harley interpretation (bring back Sorkin!) just to get one damn collectable.

Origins is fun, and I honestly don't care that it just feels like a City expansion pack, because why wouldn't I want to play a few more hours of Arkham City? But the combat is buggy. Those assholes with the baseball bats can somehow hit you from the other side of the room. And I understand that they wanted to go with a film noir chiaroscuro look for the art direction, but you can't see shit because everthjng is so dark. They don't bother color-coding to distinguish enemy types, so I keep on ending up punching some armoured henchman in the face and losing my streak. Failure of visual game design.

i found one, but i already enabled it and disabled it so i can't go back to survival. but i found a mod to fix that and let me go back. but when i install it the game won't run.

im not starting over so fuck it, i prob wouldnt stick with it anyway

[teh b0lly!!1]

you think mario and peach ever fucked?

i mean it's never implied really, but what kind of an italian plumber would go through all that trouble for a platonic relationship? fuck that shit

[teh b0lly!!1]

peach

i could eat a peach for hours

[Skradgee]

Apparently none of you jerks are playing the new South Park game?

[FoolofaTook]

Mangoes >>> Peaches

[smashingjj]

Ya ha ha!
