Haha that's the kind of thing I love!! the developers that stopped water being a limitation and turned it into some kind of feature

For example, in the infamous games, you're an electric man so waist high water kills you, and shallower water conducts your electricity. If an enemy also stands in that water, it's an instant kill on them

Made up instantly for the fact you couldn't swim lol.

Devil May Cry is all about the player expression. I would argue that the series has the best controls for doing so of all the character action games and has provided solid control schemes for different playstyles.

Even Royal Guard is fantastic: high risk reward that more than just another parry; it is a conscious choice between high risk, high potential gameplay.

I also think unless you aim to play DMC without engaging Son of Sparda and Dante Must Die, you're really short-changing yourself in terms of what these games can really be

Are they perfect? No but they're damn solid games that really do reward players that take the time to reach those higher skill levels while being perfectly beatable for the average pleb.

If anything, it makes me wonder why we don't have more small dedicated handheld gaming devices that aren't phones or pseudocomputers and don't cost a bomb.

Like a £220 PSP/GBA/DS-like device with decent first-party support would be really nice for me imo

• a domain + reverse proxy + vps

then uncle bob does not need a vpn to access your plex

Currently working through the Talos Principle. Really fun + there's a really cool shader to render ripples on water.

As someone who used the learning edition of endorphin to make wrestling videos, I would've loved to use Euphoria. Alas, I was merely 13 when they shut down Endorphin

I think tying unlocks to sanitised challenges was what made 3 unenjoyable for me

In 2 I would just play the game and naturally unlock stuff, whereas in 3, the unlock to another rocket c4 was tied to destroying some random military base in a time limit that didn't even shoot back.

I wish we could go down to PS Vita size but I understand that mobile fills that sector for now :(

A small dedicated gaming device with hardware buttons is all I want though

thank you for this 💜

Splitgate really fumbled pivoting to a loadout based shooter instead of the arena style from the first game

Burnout, but takedown style, NOT paradise/open world

It's insane I can't just have a game where I can do ridiculous crashes and uses cars as bullets.

As someone currently suffering on NixOS, this is very true
