It's up. Thoughts? Hopes?
Heard in some gameplay video that you can switch to the original graphics so I'll probably buy it. Even if it's inferior to TG/TDP New Dark 1.27 it'll be fun getting all the achievements.
Gotta say though, 30 bucks isn't that cheap.

The best thing about Thief is you don't even have to pay for the massive amount of extra content in form of fan missions. I'm excited to see how the 4 new missions turn out but it probably won't outshine The Black Parade.

Is there any actual strats or is it just grind until high level? I checked some playthroughs, and one guy is level 35 in world of ruin, having a tough time. And the other left the game on auto-battle for 40 hours early in the game, to grind to level 55-57 and is having a better time.

Yeah, Nintendo players just suck and they can't play any challenging platformers. Except DKC, obviously, you mentioned that. And Mario 1. And Mario 3, that gets really bullshit in the later stages too. And Mega Man, Mega Man is very challenging. And, uh, so are the NES Castlevania games. And the early Metroid games, those are pretty hard too. Oh, shit, I forgot about Battletoads, that game really fucks. And the Ninja Gaiden games, yeah. And Gimmick, Jesus, that game is really really fuckin' hard. And... (continues for several hours)

Ironically, the Genesis version is far easier. (Likely because it was based off the JP version.)

Nintendo players only play piss easy Nintendo published games. The people who play games like Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden are just normal gamers who happen to own NES. Nintoddlers are famous for their hatred of Battletoads.

It was really good. I was about 12 when it came out, one of the most immersive games I had ever played. I remember day dreaming about it in class and I couldn't wait to get home and play it. Looking back I remember that school days felt much longer when I was playing OoT, maybe the longest school days of my life. I'd feel so good when the school day was finally over, at that point the restlessness would stop and I'd feel chill knowing I'd be playing it soon, and would just enjoy the bus ride home talking to friends, knowing that the hard part was over and it wouldn't be long now. As soon as I'd reach my house I'd plop my bag down and go straight to the console and play it for a few hours. By the end of every session I felt satiated, only to wake up the next morning feeling that desperate urge to play the game again but knowing I'd unfortunately be at school all day.

OoT was one of two games that ever gave me an emotional reaction (incidentally the other one was Link's Awakening on Gameboy OG). I really enjoyed every second I had with it. When it was over I felt so sad that it was done with and I had that same feeling with Zelda LA. As much as I loved it though, OoT really was a one and done thing for me. I think in total I've played through it maybe three times in my entire life. I actually feel like playing it again now. The remake looks incredible but I don't have a Switch 2 and have no intention of getting one. If there ends up being a good decomp for PC I'm definitely gonna do that.

Definitely one of my most cherished gaming memories. I was the perfect age for this game, at 12 games still had that wondrous quality to them and you get far more absorbed into their worlds. I've noticed people like to shit on this game now, saying it's not at all that and that people exaggerated but at the time it really was extremely special and I'm glad to see that they've done it real justice with the remake.

Sure you can, just follow the guide on how to do it. You might need to turn off the animations in the header if it's getting overwritten by the defaults, or you can add ExAnimations (haven't written on how to do it yet in the guide, pic is how the default animations are constructed).

So I got inspired by some guy who made a post about blood and was hating on the game. Here is a response to his rant.

Blood my retrospective.
I played blood like in 2003 or something far after it was released. I loved Duke 3D and I decided to try it I think it was the DOS game running in windows 98 or something.

I tried it and I did not like it. I seriously never liked the blood aesthetics since all looks brown and like crap. That stupid brown 1920s or whatever is ugly as fuck and all looks the same. I did stab some zombies and shot some and quit the game.


Year later I did give it another try, I still do not like its aesthetic and never will. However I finished the game and I remember killing all the bosses or even looking up charnobog on a wiki after I killed him. He looks very interesting.

I liked the gameplay and I remember (this was the end of act1) even getting dreams based on the cool mechanic of throwing dynamite and how satisfying it did feel.

And this was that for over a decade. Then this guy made a raging comment how blood sucks because hitscanners or something

I wanted to respond however I decided to play the game once more to refresh my memory, I did go for the gog remaster or whatever(can this have consequences?) and I spammed ENTER to start the game fast(I have no idea on what difficulty I did start) and I did mover forward and kill zombies and cultists however once I entered the mausoleum on the first level a problem started to show itself. I was running low on ammunition

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Trying to kill the cultists was not fun and the problem was not le hitscanners the problem was that the level did not have med kits or life essences enough or the enemies did not drop life essences enough(like 1 time on 1 map in every run max) you can kill the cultists by peaking over the corner and 2 tapping one with a shotgun however they react often fast and sometimes it is a game of randomness

And the game was objectively not fun I either waste my time by pitch fork killing these stupid zombies who resurrect to often or I am in a life and death struggle to kill these cultists

I tried a restart and found the same problems. This really confused me since I literally remember killing the final boss no cheats no nothing and having fun. Is there a difference in the gog remaster and the old DOS game???

I tried the game again this time I did not spam ENTER ENTER ENTER to start it however carefully selected the difficulty and I did finish the 1 act no problem and also did have fun with the zombies at the end by throwing dynamite at them and zombies are perma dead from explosions, also them getting thrown around from the explosion is fun. I do not know what difficulty this was however that play of the game was really not fun. Maybe the game needed to include more TNT all over the place so the player can use it to quickly kill zombies instead of playing a waiting game before getting to the main fight with cultists

Also the flare gun is a super weapon no it really is. I normal shot into a zombie and he perma burns to death. I did not expect this and this kind of invalidates most of the game

Shotgun for cultists and flare gun or TNT for zombies. It make more sense if the normal gun was weak and what the flare gun is was some burning crossbow bold or something that has limited ammunition because how absurdly powerful it is, and this is no joke I can kill gargoyles by shooting them with 2 flares and then some running in a circle and shotgun to the face

What surprised me was that the rats(yes fucken rats) are an annoying enemy, you think some shit you can step on would not be a problem however they bite you and in my first run I did have a problem because I did not want to waste my precious shotgun on them. Dynamite solves them however I did take some time before I did the crouch and pitchfork combo to remove these shits.

There where also these eye balls with wings that did fly around in 1 map however they literally did no damage.

The game is OK however there is little variety and I think the game should have a dedicated TNT button. Not switch to TNT as a weapon I mean hold to charge the TNT and then throw while you auto return to your previous weapon.

Any reason for that insane difficulty spike by choosing a harder difficulty (I play my games on normal)? In contrast duke gives you shitloads of MedKits and(I did not know this before 2026) you can literally regenerate 100 HP if you spam the use key on any source of water like a fountain or broken hydrant. What are your thoughts on blood as a game?

Maybe it should have a big

SA1 was like a more faithful adaptation to the classic sonic games but SA2 is trendslop at its finest. i can't think of a single game that represents the year 2000 more than SA2.
