Isn't that what the Easy Mode is for? Much easier progression and basically no lengthy grinding required? It's okay that this is an option, but it seems a tiny bit much IMO. People buy games to *play* them, I doubt they'd enjoy "instantly make me overpowered" and "speed-up the cutscenes" buttons

I've been continuing Zelda A Link To The Past in lunchbreaks/evenings recently. Made it to the dark world's first dungeon, which is roughly where I gave up back in 2019 I won't lie, I've used the NSO's rewind thing to do quick-retries for combat, because honestly: this game's still tough

The quote posts are exactly what you'd expect. 🫠 At least it's a toggle thing and not forced usage, but ughhhhhh

📣 Buy Hyper Light Drifter and buy Solar Ash! 📣 These are two fantastically stylised action games (one is top-down, one is a 3D platformer) which are absolutely worth your time and money www.heartmachine.com/hyper-light-... annapurnainteractive.com/games/solar-...

Hyper light drifter screenshot. This is a top-down game made with 2D pixel art, with vivid neon pink colours in a green sci fi environment.

Solar Ash screenshot. This is a 3D action platformer. A sci fi female character stares into a bright swirling black hole in space.

When you think about it, their use of gen-A-I for "better speedier development" ended up not saving any time at all They spent a few minutes typing their demands into an image generator chatbot but then several days apologising due to backlash about it 🙃

Level 5’s CEO has confirmed that generative AI was used for its recent Yo-Kai Watch and Professor Layton game reveals and apologized to disappointed fans. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/level-5...

The first (and previous) time I played this game, was... 7 years ago. September 2019. I got a few hours in, but gave up due to its difficulty. ...Time to finally give it another shot. 😎 #SNES #Zelda #ZeldaALinkToThePast

I finished Denshattack yesterday 🚃⛩️ What a brilliant and chaotic game, so many of its ideas and setpieces are absolutely wild lol If you have even the slightest interest in trains or on-rails action games, then PLAY THIS GAME fireshinegames.co.uk/featured/den...

Denshattack!

I've been playing some more of Death Stranding recently, and.... I think it's clicked 👀 Sure it's 50% walking/driving for fetchquests, 25% tutorial popups and 25% story stuff with jargon I don't understand, but the gameplay loop's becoming quite peaceful and fun, with a good sense of progression

Damn this sucks I played a lot of Moss on PSVR2 last year, and it's fantastic. And it's cool that they recently remastered the game into a a non-VR version too Wishing all the best for the devs

5 *fantastic* 2D momentum platformers and an okay one VS A 2017 nothing-burger, a 2021 botched remaster and a 2022 shaky-but-ambitious triumph

Did they make this a free pack-in title yet

I am *never* getting a full bingo line on one of these LMAO That was a good Direct though. Metroid Ravenous looks very exciting, and I love the replayability features that Switch Sports Resort has

As usual with upcoming Nintendo Directs - here's my Bingo Predictions Card! 👀 #NintendoDirect Because of the Zelda one and general one being back-to-back this week, my Zelda predictions are just in one column there

Nintendo Direct predictions bingo: Mario Kart World DLC, Kingdom Hearts, New 3d mario, kid icarus, zelda orchestra, tomodachi life update, mario sports game, luigi's mansion, metroid, zelda twilight princess, mario maker, fire emblem, Kirby, zelda ocarina of time remake with major changes, final fantasy, switch sports resort, a Mario RPG, Pikmin, zelda movie trailer, DS game, Farm sim, Smash Bros, Wario, and Zelda being added to universal theme park

Tom S@silvertommedia.bsky.social · 3w ago

So far, 2/5 predictions correct, plus the Free Space Let's see what tomorrow's Direct has in store 👀

Joey Ferris@ferriswheelpro.bsky.social · 3w ago

Yeahhhh, I wouldn't say Zelda looks terrible, but something seems off with her model there. Her face has no expression

The whiplash of going from Saria's great character design to whatever this monstrosity is.

The Legend of Zelda

Zelda Ocarina of Time remake looks SWEEEEEEET ... ...But: I'm not sure about the characters' faces, something doesn't quite look right with their eyes in some shots They can look a bit like clay/doll figures but it's hard to describe

I had a bizarre dream last night and need to write this down lol In it, I was playing some new top-down cosy village game (like Animal Crossing), but things are "off", you find a monster photo, the illusion breaks, the game crashes, and everything swaps to gritty Resident Evil style survival horror

a diagram of 4 images - the first image is a cosy colourful animal crossing image, followed by an animal crossing dialogue screen where text reads "system error, conversation not found". The 3rd image is a technical difficulties crash, glitching on screen. The 4th image is a dark, scary corridor from a Resident Evil game. Text reads "objective: find a TV to jump back into the cosy world"
