Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Jarkes  
I really give Marty props for being transparent. I wish more people in his position were like that.

A tiny trailer for Serious Sam 4 was released, alongside its release date FUCKING FINALLY

You know, it’d be really nice if the Switch JoyCons had a proper D-Pad for when I’m playing the NES or SNES games in handheld mode (especially since that’s what I play the Switch on 90% of the time). The control stick has REALLY sensitive inputs to the point that sometimes it ends up moving in a direction I don’t intend it to (which is a little different from the infamous drifting issue, but I rarely see people talk about this one).

@Meanlucario
 
Not sure if that was a “fuck that quest” or “wish there were more like it” quest.

@Dustcan  
The quest is finding 10, the achievement and getting every item is getting all 100.

I hate cazedors. In theory, you just shoot their wings off or take antivenom to stop their poison. In practice, they are too fast to shoot before they close with you and attack in swarms.

@Meanlucario
 
Yeah I remember it. You get a new reward to every 10 or so ingots.
 
I just can’t decide if having to scour literally every corner for that last ingot was fun or Hello Darkness my old friend.
 
 
@kleptomage
 
I love VATS. But frankly I’ve never seen in any game a reason to not just shoot something in the head to kill it outright over wasting time/bullets/my own HP by crippling them.
 
The only time it is worth it was in FO 3 with that one gun that auto-cripples legs on hit. And even then only against deathclaws.

@Dustcan  
i think in 4 you can kill those giant robots quicker if you blow up their arms first.
 
Also removes most of their weaponry too.

@Dustcan  
That’s right.
 
I’ll say annoying after getting most of them and exploring practically everywhere.
 
@icey wicey 1517  
That doesn’t sound right, though I’ll need to test that claim first.

@Dustcan  
If I could one shot cazadors I would, but crippling their wings to reduce their movement should be safer. With VATS I can only get off one shot with a hunting rifle or two with a trail carbine before they’re in my face poisoning me to death.
 
So far, the best way to deal with cazadors seems to be packing a truckload of antivenom and using the riot shotgun to fill the air with lead.

@kleptomage  
Also having good armor, two companions and a bunch of explosives.

I’ve been waiting for more info on Serious Sam 4. Hopefully it won’t be delayed because that’s a birthday present for me!

@Jarkes  
Yeah, I kinda prefer D-pads for retro games. (Meanwhile, “Super Mario 64 DS” is actually better with a 3DS/WiiU analogue stick.)
 
I’d recommend just getting a classic controller, some officially-licensed wired ones (with Zelda or other designs) are only $20.

@Beau Skunky
 
Oh I do have a Switch Pro Controller already, but it’s kind of awkward to use those in handheld mode (not to mention it essentially defeats the purpose).

Speaking of d-pad and analog control, I had an interesting experience the other day.
 
I was at my cousins house and her and I were playing shitty games she found on the Nintendo market place for under a dollar (and drinking, lots of drinking).
 
There was some top down shooter we were playing that felt, wrong, and we couldn’t put our fingers on it till after about 30 minutes of play.
 
The characters don’t rotate on an axis, they sort of “snap” between what we calculated to be 16ish specific orientations around the compass.
 
 
It was so disorienting to work with. Explains why it was only 89 cents.

@Zincy  
Not all cheap games are bad though, “Toki Tori” is a very cheap game, (the other day it was on temporary sale for like 80 cents) and it’s very good.

@Beau Skunky
 
This one wasn’t technically bad either.
 
Just that one quirk was very janky.

@Beau Skunky  
Likewise, Skypeace isn’t too bad for a pretty cheap game ($1).

Wish I could’ve recorded my last game of vsHale in TF2. It was a hilarious game of hide and seek-turned-cat and mouse.

Watched Civie11’s Daikatana.
 
Cant believe this comes after Half Life. But to be frank, Half Life’s AI is not perfect either. I must appreciate Daikatana’s AI for being advanced at the time. I mean, which other game have NPCs that follow you anywhere, and even climb ladders? In fact, is there any other game even today that have NPCs that climbs ladders?

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
When is Persona 5 Scramble coming out in North America, I’ve been waiting for so long now.

@[Ω]  
Except everything else was wrong with Daikatana.  
Also I love civvie’s quip where he says “stop subscribing to this channel”  
I wonder what he’ll do for 300k.

If you saw the video, you’d know why.

My Xbox keeps turning on by itself.
