Cool!

Super fighting robot… MEGA MAN!

I’ll take more Mega Man. I’ll take Mega Man X.

I live in France but visited Canada recently, I was able to see the main story but not all the bits before and after. The moment I landed back in France I received notifications for the 4 episodes I missed.

Not a big deal, really, but sometimes the news updates are very funny and balance out the heavier subject matter.

John Oliver’s show is free on YT outside of NA, hope that doesn’t change.

Good Boy Galaxy has some in-game games including Poopsweeper (a Minesweeper clone), Fishing, Rhythm games, juggling and a Star Fox/Railshooter game

• Tessel
• Ricochlime
• Shattered Pixel Dungeon

• No quick restart options for arcade-style games like shmups
• Games that end up being too easy once you unlock of figure out one mechanic or technique like dash-dodge or iframe rolling and now the entire game is just the same loop
• Unskippable or long intros or cutscenes (I sold Guilty Gear Strive because of that eagle thing…)
• The spam garbage ripoffs on the Nintendo eShop that shouldn’t be there
• Code in a box
• When DLC characters are visible on character select even if you didn’t buy them (looking at those 10 greyed-out characters on SF6 are so annoying)

Super Metroid will always be my favourite. I also enjoyed Axiom Verge and Bloodstained ROTN.

I generally like shorter Metroidvania like Iconoclasts and some of the Shantae series or even Yoku’s Island Express which has some backtracking.

The Metroidvania tag is a bit like Dubstep in music, a lot of those Dubstep tracks aren’t Dubstep but they can still be fun for some people.

Based on current tastes…

• Super Metroid
• SSBU or a Street Fighter
• FFVI (because I still haven’t finished it) or Chrono Trigger
• a shmup, any vertical shmup, Crimzon Clover WE probably
• Mega Man X

I rewarded myself this week with a newer release than what I would normally be drawn to when I saw a game in the bargain bin.

I picked up Guilty Gear -STRIVE- at -30% for the Switch. Where I live, that made it cheaper than on Amazon and cheaper than the digital version has ever been.

I haven’t played any fighting game in ages and while I had seen clips of this game, I had never played it or any Arc System Works games (BlazBlu-, Dragon Ball FighterZ) so everything about it is a little knew to me. My fighting game experience is lots of Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct, some Street Fighter and Darkstalkers, about two hours of Skullgirls, and maybe an hour of Samurai Shodown, Red Earth, and Cyberbots.

My initial impressions are positive. There isn’t a soul online to play with, but I’ll be working my way through training for quite some time. Graphics are very impressive. Music-wise, it isn’t something that I’d ever listen to willingly, but it certainly suits the game and sets it apart from others in the genre.

Mechanics and controls are just right for someone like me, but I don’t understand their ranking system for online play. You have to play a match and the system ranks you on that and won’t allow you to play ranked matches below your level. Ranking me 6 out of 8 might be generous since I literally just mashed the same button.

They might not even need to pay for it and just do it to avoid getting blacklisted.

I can’t take articles like this seriously because the guy publishes up to 5 of them a day. I know that it is their job and they get advance copies to play before release day, and they have assistants.

After seeing comments here on patientgamers I was reminded that I wanted to play Yoku’s Island Express. So I did. 97% complete. Not sure what’s left to do but I’ll figure it out.

Also around half-way through Pepper Grinder so I’ll be working on that for a couple evenings.

It is just their anti-AI thing, not a paywall. 404 are good journalists that published tonnes of great stories.

If it were easier than HK people would be upset.

I haven’t played yet, but it is a different character with a different moveset from what I’ve seen. This is probably the reaction Team Cherry wants as opposed to releasing a gale that panders to players like the new Shinobi.
