PirateFrog@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English2·11 days agoKind’ve an odd suggestion, but if you like more arcade-y type games, and think you’d an enjoy a more advanced sorta spiritual successor to dig-dug, I’d recommend checking out Mr.Do! On the SNES. Weirdly good.
Sunset Riders is a fun and short western arcade shooter, as is Wild Guns.
There’s also a pretty neat Shadowrun RPG on the SNES.
Trillium Notes Next is a good open-source obsidian alternative without the bullet points of logseq.
PirateFrog@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English3·11 days agoI decided to throw Mega man Legends 2 on my miyoo mini, as I had fond memories of renting the first game as a kid, and never tried the sequel.
It’s an odd spinoff of the Megaman series that turns it into a 3rd person dungeon delving shooter, complete with story and fully voice acted 90’s anime style in-game cutscenes!
Thoughts on the sequel:
It has some improvements over the original, such as the ability to fly around the main ship on a world map! I liked the globe trotting aspect (the OG takes place in one city), and the art style and controls were pretty good.
It held my attention for about 4 or 5 hours, until I came across an underwater level, where things went downhill.
Even equipped with a missable underwater specific speed upgrade ability, movement speed underwater was cut to about a third of normal speed, and this was combined with large open spaces and the need to throw around some finicky boxes to reach high ledges sometimes were dead ends.
I just don’t have the tolerance for that sort of thing like I used to, so I deleted it and finished it by watching the cut scenes on YouTube! The ending is pretty cringe, so I’m glad I bailed, honestly.
Thankfully he doesn’t have to worry about that, since your Sister already saw these texts last month.
I see you’re tweaking things this time though, refining the wording to… I don’t know, get the right sorta engagement?
Baffling why people go to this effort to create these little pieces of false drama, since there doesn’t seem to be a profit motive.
Just bored, I guess?
