fortified_banana , in What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?

Super Metroid. It’s an amazing game if you play it normally, and you can branch out into sequence breaking tricks pretty easily. It basically created/popularized an entire genre of games.

luciole , in Aonuma says Nintendo not thinking about classic style Zelda games at the moment. Does anyone think it likely they could use a third party developer again, like when Capcom made the Minish Cap ?

I have long given up on guessing Nintendo’s next move. One thing I’d bet on is they’ll shake things up sooner or later. Zelda isn’t stuck in this precise genre forever. It’s always been in their DNA to surprise us.

ShovelKnightFan , in What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?

Gotta be Portal 2. The puzzles are fun, the difficultly curve is reasonable, and the writing is fantastic. Truly the only complaint I have is that I wish there was more of it.

grady77 , in Stray is one of the best short games I've ever played.

Seriously! I absolutely loved it. It was so nice just getting to explore and puzzle things out. A good balance of that plus a few intense moments. Just an awesome experience!

Nyla_Smokeyface , in Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how to spend your gaming time?

YES. I know exactly how you feel. ADHD really prevents me from actually hitting play.

sculd , in Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how to spend your gaming time?

Oh absolutely. But I found that the best way is to just hit “play” without thinking too much. If I am not in the mood I can stop anytime.

Another trick is to find a game that can complete a round in a short time (recently playing “20 minute still dawn”). That would help a lot.

HidingCat , in Stray is one of the best short games I've ever played.

It's available on PC and there's a sale on Steam too, 25% off, biggest discount so far. Been looking to pick it up.

I’m rather new to Playstation. What do you mean with ‘it’s going away soon’? If I have a Playstation subscription and ‘buy’ it (for free, as part of the subscription) can I keep playing it? Or do I need to complete it before a cut of date?

As long as you download it now, then you can keep the game as long as you’re a member of PS+. So if you even think you might play it in the future, download it now. Once it rotates off the subscription, then it won’t be available for download anymore (but people who already downloaded it can keep it).

Slightly off topic but do you find PS+ worth it? I’m toying with getting it at the moment

IcedCoffeeBitch , in What games would you recommend for someone that only recently got into gaming?

The Mario RPG franchise is very good actually, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Super Mario RPG being my favorites. I’ve heard good things about Paper Mario too.

Oh and the Earthbound series is very good too, but the Mario franchise is more beginner friendly.

sincle354 ,

If they’re on PC, you can always emulate these. If you have steamdeck or something I would happily recommend Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story as the pinnacle of the M&L series IMO.

nix , in What games would you recommend for someone that only recently got into gaming?

Some old story classics: BioShock (play 1 then the others if you like 1 enough), Mass Effect, Half Life 2 (You don’t need to play 1 first).

ascagnel ,

These can’t be that old. There’s no way Half-Life 2 is … nineteen years old?!?!?!

ndguardian , in Mortal Kombat 1 has a beloved new character: Johnny Cage’s Roomba

The only thing that would make this better would be to include the Roomba as part of a fatality.

xohoo , in Steam Summer Sale - What are your favorite Local Multiplayer Games?

Untitled goose game, It takes Two and Portal 2 were very fun in local coop. Did not know divinity had local coop thanks!

flicker , in Furbies returning to store shelves next month

The comments here prove we still don't read the article. The new Furby is putting front and center "Does not connect to the internet."

chinpokomon ,

The previous model connected via Bluetooth to a phone. I'm assuming the same with this one. No wifi, and therfore no "Internet" connection.

grumbul ,

The Amazon listing mentions "does not connect to the internet or to any devices" so it might actually not have any sort of connectivity.

chinpokomon ,

@grumbul, oh, I missed that subtlety... Maybe it wasn't even so subtle, but I was focused on the does not connect to the Internet to see the "or devices."

@azureeight@beehaw.org avatar

2d zelda is my absolute favorite and I do hope we haven’t seen the last of them. I’d even settle for a Seasons/Ages reboot. 😩

thatsTheCatch , in Steam Summer Sale - What are your favorite Local Multiplayer Games?

I am bookmarking this post to come back to later. I’ve gotten my partner into video games and we like playing local multiplayer, specifically co-op.

Our favourites are: Overcooked and Stardew Valley (Nintendo Switch version has split screen).

Ones we enjoy are: ibb & obb, Jumpjet Rex, Shutshimi, Spiritfarer.
