  1. This looks like a more action-heavy Hollow Knight. I could dig it.
  2. Trails Fusion is also free through their Japanese store. But the workaround is really easy, nothing fancy, and only takes a minute:
  3. Far Cry 3 - Compare Far Cry 3 Editions | Ubisoft Store STORE.UBI.COM Experience the terror of a tropical paradise vacation gone desperately wrong in Far Cry 3. As unexpected hero Jason Brody, seek alliances with island natives to save your friends from bloodthirsty pirates and thugs. First-person shooter Far Cry 3 features complex, darkly violent gameplay that involves developing survival and fighting skills and increasing your ability to craft necessary objects. Sharply written characters and...
  4. In fairness it’s not quite that simple. They’d have to emulate two systems, running and communicating simultaneously. If they get that working on the ‘host’ Switch, it shouldn’t be too hard to support whatever online drop-in tech they already have for the second emulated gameboy.
  5. I’m sure it’s no Hades, but conceptually I’m more interested in it than most releases this year. It’s in good company though. This is shaping up to be an unusually great year for new IPs from mid-sized studios.
  6. Some of the hidden power-ups in Zero Mission are just stupidly difficult to get. But it’s also made my sweep through the post-game more eventful, glad I did it.
  7. Seriously guys? This isn’t even true today. The most disappointing thing about the next gen consoles is how few games aren’t cross gen. As someone who’s holding off… I still wish I could play Returnal.
  8. Some people get a 22fps bug in Remastered walking around that modders have fixed apparently. Other than that, there's only positives with going with the PC version(s) w/ mods. Analog controls, AI upscaled art, cutscenes with higher FPS interpolation, etc.
  9. Which version, the older build or remastered? Modders have tidied up both. Though its more WIP than FF9's Moguri mod.
  10. Reminds me of movies switching streaming services every few months. Except these are 50+ hour games. I don't think 7-8-9 are done any favors without AI upscaling mods as an option. The Deck with those would probably be the ideal way to experience them today.
  11. Yoku's Island Express WWW.EPICGAMES.COM Download and play Yoku's Island Express at the Epic Games Store. Check for platform availability and price! Next week: Sheltered WWW.EPICGAMES.COM Sheltered is coming soon to the Epic Games Store. Please check for availability and add to your Wishlist
  12. By the time this person gets around to a PS5 and would want to upgrade the game, it'll probably be $20 anyways. They're willing to play Horizon 2 on a prior gen console.
  13. Standard edition on PS4 is $60 Standard edition on PS5 is $70 Cross-gen editions are $80+ Should have just made the basic PS5 edition cross gen.
  14. What a great game. As a remake, it's nowhere near redundant to the first thanks to all the puzzle bits and creative liberties they take with power-ups. Only the general locations of some items and bosses stay the same. So it's more along the lines of FF7 Remake in how it treats the source material. And that's an especially good thing here, since the original NES Metroid is rough, to say the least. It's still a bit strange going back to Zebes again. The deja vu you get is often closer to Super Metroid because of the visuals. So when certain areas are bigger or smaller than you remember, it feels inconsistent. Not that I'd change anything about Zero Mission's layout and progression, but it is somewhat jarring. And that extra bit at the end, it's rare to see a game change up mechanics so significantly in the 11th hour. Kudos. But I also wish they didn't give you any doors in the world you couldn't unlock beforehand. It clues you in on something else coming. Zero Mission's biggest problem are the final few boss fights. Ridley ramps up the difficult considerably. Mother Brain is straight up bullshit, especially considering how easy she was in Super. But the final last boss? Stupidly easy. Plus an unnecessary escape sequence that was much easier than the last. Overall, a much better and less linear game than Fusion was. Super is still more atmospheric and puzzling, so it's still my favorite of the 2D entries. But this comes much closer than I expected, and controls better too. I'll go back for the 25% of the power-ups I missed. 9.5/10 2021 games Hades - 10 FFIX - 9 (8 without speed boosters) Captain Toad - 8.5 Minit - 7.5 Yoku's Island Express - 8 Prince of Persia 2008 - 7.5 Oxenfree - 8 Shadow of the Colossus (remake) - 9 Hat in Time Seal the Deal DLC - 7.5 Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap - 7.5 Bad North - 8 Metroid Zero Mission - 9.5/10
  15. I felt the same way, but eventually figured out there was the ledge on the top right you could wait on, then drop down to the lower right when you see an opening. It's still much more BS than the NES original was. Which is sort of surprising.
  16. I've only played the Ratchet remake, calling it a platformer is a bit of a stretch. I get why people are comparing these franchises, but they probably have less in common than even BoTW and Horizon did. The Pysconauts games are legitimate 3D platformers though. I love that about the first game, it gives you plenty of variety but still doesn't shy away from collect-a-thon elements.
  17. Signs of the Sojourner was also in that itch.io BLM bundle if anyone picked that up. Supposed to be worth checking out.
  18. Been meaning go back and play it, I think I might have stopped in the Library back in the day. Haven’t touched a Halo campaign since. BTW, you can add Metroid Zero Mission to the list for me.
