I was sold on trying it out a while ago. Just waiting for the next sale because I know it goes dirt cheap. In other news, they're re-releasing Modern Warfare 2 without multiplayer. Fucking idiots. |

Am I the only one that finds the idea of games from the late 2000s being re-mastered ridiculous? It makes so much more sense with much older games, especially if you use it as an excuse to bring a game to PC that wasn't there before (Okami for example). Yeah, these 10 year old games aren't as shiny as the new stuff, but they still look fine and are totally playable. Is a remaster of a fairly modern title really going to elevate the experience that much? The original is already in 60fps, too, so you can't even sell it under the promise of better performance and controls. I suppose a lack of backwards compatibility is mostly to blame for this. |

It's obviously a cheap cash grab that gulls nostalgia heads and impulse buyers, but I like it as an opportunity to check out titles I missed. Off the top of my head I don't think I've bought a remaster of anything I already own. However I would've bought MW2 Remastered because its multiplayer was my favourite.

Sega was giving away Alpha Protocol a few weeks ago through their Make War not Love promotion mentioned in the bargains thread. As for remasters, I've been tempted by the Burnout Paradise remaster. Maybe when it goes on sale. |

Breath of the Wild is actually considerably better than I was expecting. I don't know why, but I had the impression that the world was going to be lacking detail and have a procedural generation kind of look to it, but it's actually really nicely crafted. I did Ruta earlier, maybe it's because I just haven't played a new Zelda game in a long time, but that was one of the more unique 'dungeon' experiences I can remember having, probably because it's a moving object that is seamlessly integrated into the open world. Really cool game, the freedom of traversal is great, but at the same time Hyrule is much more hazardous than in previous games. |

I miss the old Zelda dungeons. The new ones are decent, but don’t follow the traditional formula and are aesthetically identical. What would be great would be traditional dungeons but with the freedom to “break” the rules that the shrines allow. I did the desert dungeon first. After getting the camera I went off the expected course and didn’t end up meeting the Zoras for a very long time. |

I think breaking from the formula is a big part of why I like this one, it's surprised me in how willing it has been to break traditions while still kind of keeping them, it's just a refreshing reinterpretation. To my knowledge it's the first main console Zelda not to be directed by Miyamoto so that probably shouldn't be surprising. Assuming that the others are like Ruta, at least these divine beast dungeons have their environmental surroundings to give them a bit of their own personality. For me the shrines are my biggest complaint so far. They're pretty visually monotonous and they're so inconsistent in their quality. Some of them have been so pathetically easy (just light everything flammable, and you win!). And of course the motion control ones are downright bad. |

I liked the first motion control Shrine I did with the maze, purely because you could just turn the controller upside down and roll the ball along the flat bottom surface instead of through the maze. |

Yeah I noticed that and figured it would be the far easier solution, unfortunately turning my mouse upside doesn't work at all

On my second playthrough I moved the ball to a point in the maze where I could jump into it and carry it to the end. |

Wait, you can pick it up? I swear I tried that when I hopped on the maze to open the chest and it didn't work. |

Hang on, you’re right. I moved it the rest of the way with stasis. Still easier than configuring the motion bullshit. The worst thing about the shrines is that 20 are a cut and paste job of “A Minor/Modest/Major Test of Strength”. I don’t understand why they were so lazy about it or didn’t just have less shrines.

Decent haul of 360 games for $30: Alpha Protocol Dead Space Dragon’s Dogma Fable 3 Resident Evil 5 The Darkness 2 I'd never heard of The Darkness until a couple of weeks ago when I was going through the Live catalogue. Looks very interesting. And Dead Space is getting its share of retrospective praise these days so I look forward to it. Edited by Moo, Mar 24 2018, 01:05 PM.

The first Darkness was awesome (and only slightly awkward in its gameplay). I think it's better and more ambitious than the sequel. Check that one out first if you can. I don't really like Dead Space. Not scary at all and has a really thin, badly written plot and completely generic mission design. I guess dismembering the aliens is fun at first, but the game as a whole didn't click with me at all. RE5 is completely average and the single player co-op is infuriating. |
