If you got the game new, it comes with a code for the PC version.

I haven't checked on my Nintendog in over 13 years.

I remember seeing ads for Portal 2 while waiting for flash games to load

Fuck man, whenever I look back on that game, I get guilty knowing I haven’t been doing the same with my virtual pups.

Speaking of Portal, first time I played I got stuck on the second to last chamber and used a cheat to spawn a box so I can move on.

Still feel guilty about that one.
 
I have nothing against this series or the company that makes it, but I just can't for the life of me enjoy the Mario games. Funny because I can enjoy other games buy nintendo, Castlevania, donkey kong country, even legend of zelda to an extant but something about the italian plumber just doesn't click with me, or am I just retarded.?
 
I have beaten the dark souls games but i never learned to parry, don't remember if i ever managed a single successful one against anything other than the weakest skeletons. I played easy builds were i can adsorb and deal some damage without perfect reflexes.

Thats also why Sekiro kicked my ass,i think is a great game but i could not get the parrying down and the gameplay this time revolves around it, got stuck on Genichiro for a long time and ended up uninstalling as i wasn't willing to sink so much time and stress knowing i wasn't even far into the game, i don't know if i'll ever come back to it.

I am terrible at fighting games, not just "oh, you just need practice" nor "oh, everyone sucks at first", i mean i am seriously a cripple for that specific genre and i cannot play well and i could never play well no matter what.

Same. My husband loves fighting games too. :(

I didn't learn to parry until Bloodborne.

If you're talking danmaku games, they're more about navigating through mazes of bullets than aiming at your target. Try paying full attention to dodging instead of whatever the enemies are doing.

It's also important to relax your eyes and see the overall patterns of the bullets, it might look like chaos but with bosses there might be 2-5 geometric patterns that the bullets follow and it's all about not painting yourself into a corner.

I keep meaning to go back and play Or Die Trying but I'm too old and lazy to learn the archaic controls again. Guess I'll just have to be content with hazy memories of hacking a pigman's arms and one leg off, then kiting until he walks into a trap.

Are you thinking of Die By the Sword? I found using the numpad easier. The ending of that game is great, the character rescues the princess and retells the absurdity of the entire game from his point of view. Treyarch made that game by the way.

I swear I remember that at one point he got overly excited and spiced it up by saying that he died! Then correcting himself. Might have it confused with Sands of Time, that game did a similar thing.


I can only play fighting games like Street Fighter/KoF if I'm on the left side. If I start on the right my number one priority is to get over to the left side, I'm really bad at directional inputs.
 
My primary metric of whether or not I'll like a game is how much I enjoy its soundtrack, and my interest in games tend to start and end at the OSTs (and in later years their sound design) with only a few exceptions.

I couldn't for the life of me get into Final Fantasy in general until a friend personally introduced me to XV.

I'm very averse to playing rhythm games for some reason.
 
I don't usually finish games legitimately, I'll either get through them 3/4ths and stop, watch speedruns of the game, or console command my way through the entire game. I don't know why, I just consistently cheat at videogames. Granted I don't play much anymore at all but I console'd kill all in FO3 at the washington monument, stuff like that. TBOI AND Rebirth? Downloaded 100 percent files, Gungeon the same. Odds are if I can cheat I probably will, then i'll get bored and surf KF.
 
Fallout's aesthetic is terrible to the point it's nearly painful to look at for extended periods. It doesn't even make sense for the world to still look so decrepit 200 years after the apocalypse; everything should've been cleaned up, and newly-produced items should've at least started replaced scavenged pre-war ones, at most fifty years after the bombs dropped.

Mario games have been fairly hit-or-miss over the last 20 years, and the best one (and my personal favorite) is often considered to be Super Mario Bros. 3. If you don't like that one, you can safely shelve the series for the rest of your life.

If you tried to play any New Super Mario Bros. and couldn't get into it, I don't blame you. Those are developed by Nintendo's B-team and tend to be not as good as the mainline ones. They're okay, not that replayable, they're sort of like milquetoast romhacks that play it as safe as possible. New Super Mario Bros. 2 was especially considered one of the worst ones.

Super Mario 64 was incredible when it was new, so a lot of the rampant love for it came from people who played it back then, when they were kids. If you're just now wanting to get into 3D platformers and you've never really played one, honestly, I'd recommend Psychonauts instead.

And if you want a 2D platformer but can't gel with Mario, try Rayman Legends or Origins.
 
I've had Dishonored sitting in my steam library since 2013. I, for the life of me, cannot finish this fucking game. It either bores the hell out of me or somethong much better comes along. I really want to complete it. But I really dont enjoy it at all. Maybe its just not my taste.
 
Squaresoft confessions:
I enjoyed FFVI more than FFVII.
I also enjoyed FFX more than FFVII.
FFX-2 was beyond shitty, but I shamelessly played it (briefly) for the fucking boobage.

Wasn't there a shady story behind Mario 64, too? Something about Nintendo shamelessly ripping off a dev they were working with at the time and using their code to build Mario 64 upon? I forget.

You're probably thinking of how Argonaut Software more or less completed Star Fox 2, but then the game got canned and ideas from it were lifted wholesale to make Star Fox 64. One guy on the team, Dylan Cuthbert, talked extensively about it. Miyamoto was being a real dick.

(sidenote, there's also a story about Miyamoto being a dick to DMA Design around the same time. the guys who'd go on to found Rockstar Games)

That could be, but for some reason I swear there was something about Mario 64 as well. I'll poke around a bit. That Star Fox fuckery was pretty revealing, though..I'd agree.

Ah yes, DMA made the first game I ever purchased that had a warning label on it (this was a time before the ESRB, kids). I fucking loved GTA 1. GOURANGA!

It wasn't long ago that I looked up what that word means.

Croc was intended to be a Yoshi game and was shown/pitched to Nintendo very early on, then Nintendo suddenly ended their friendship with Argonaut.
From wikipedia because I'm lazy.
"cited by company founder Jez San as "essentially the world's first 3D platform game," and pitched it to Nintendo. The company was initially enthusiastic about the game, according to San, with Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto expressing particular fascination with the project.[7] Despite this enthusiastic response, Nintendo ultimately rejected Argonaut for unspecified reasons, ending the relationship between the two companies that had begun with the development of Star Fox,
...
According to Jez San, the prototype of Yoshi Racing that Argonaut had initially pitched to Nintendo was a large influence towards the creation and development of Super Mario 64,[6] though in a 1997 interview he had stated that it was possible that the similarity between the games was completely coincidental.[8] "
