The DLC is cool, but it also added mod support in the PC version, which I am assuming is not here. It would be cool if there was a way to get that kind of stuff on the Switch version too.
@luckyseven Yeah, secondhand prices are pretty prohibitive. My main reason for wanting emulation is because my hands just don’t fit the 3ds comfortably anymore, and I’d like to rip and play some of my physical copies on my Steamdeck so I can enjoy them without hand cramps. It is also very convenient. I’d personally never resort to piracy, but I don’t fault those who pirate when it is the only way to reasonably obtain a piece of media.
@Anti-Matter "The peoples who keep defending about using emulator to preserve the games as their excuses"
This is known as Begging the Claim, a logical fallacy. Please prove that these people defending emulation are only using it as an excuse before stating it as a fact.
I think that emulation, while it can enable pirates by giving them an easy medium to play pirated software, is useful for the average consumer by giving them more options for how to experience it. I think that the developers of games are entitled to receive fair compensation for their work, but that doesn't mean paying customers should be locked into using their product in one way, especially if the way they use it doesn't cost the developers any sales.
@fenlix There is a $100 publication fee on Steam that you only get back after you make $1000 from your product. That would be a net loss of income for a free game. With Itch, I don’t think you have to pay a fee, but you are allowed to offer your software with the option to either donate or download for free, so you can still make some money from those who wish to support you and to keep the project free for those who want it.
I loved this game, last I played there was pretty dedicated few people on unranked worldwide lobbies at lv 99. I hope unofficial servers can get this one back up and running.
Smash Run, but its a Metroidvania where different character's moves allow you to access different areas of the map, while unlocking different characters to switch to as you explore.
@BFahey3 “I spent all last night prepping for the final exam” “How much did you study?” “Study? I was busy farming Zonai rockets and Large Zonai Charges”
@JoeyTS I understand their engineering degree isn’t just from this class, but I still kinda question the use of the game as the focus of the course given that TOTK is a open world game with a lot of distractions besides the engineering aspect, and that their engineering job will not require use of this game. It’s probably fine if this is simply used as an interesting environment to teach principles of engineering.
I’ve played this on PC, and I loved every second of it. It’s more like Terraria than Stardew Valley in my opinion, the similarities end at the farming mechanics really, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys exploration, combat, and light automation mechanics (the later being very useful in the late game)
@antisumo I played this game single player for a long time until I got it for one of my friends, I think it’s more fun with more friends but easily enjoyable by yourself.
Federation Force is awesome. It might not have all the bells and whistles of the other Metroid games, but it is fun in its own way. Sill waiting on an opportunity to play with my 3 friends so I can play level 2 with them. Blast Ball is also great, like Rocket League but with guns.
Them from Majora's Mask (The aliens). The first time I encountered them I was playing late at night on Wii Virtual Console. Unfortunately, I hadn't talked to Ramoni the day before, meaning I had no clue what was going on. I didn't defeat them, and I had to watch as they abducted Ramoni into their flying orb. That really freaked me out. And I still don't like that side quest to this day.
@Ogbert Mobs that lose go back into their “ideas library”, aka they might come back to it if it happens to fit in with an update they are planning. In the case of the very first mob vote, they said they weren’t adding any of the losers in the future. In the case of the biome votes, it was voting for the first biome to be updated rather than the only. Hopefully they revisit some of the mob ideas, there have been plenty of interesting ideas over the years.
I'll be voting for the Tuff Golem! There are a couple confirmed features that the article here doesn't explain: You can customize the color of the Tuff Golem's cloak, any of the 16 wool colors You can stack golems to create a golem totem, if you will. You can construct it yourself (A bot self explanatory since it is a golem)
@Azuris Roman slaves also were considered the property of their owners and could only earn and keep money if their master allows. They were not free in any regard. Being a worker in this day and age is many times better than Roman slavery.
@Freddyfred That’s a even better idea! It would have to be limited to skin files rather than the character creator skins, but that’s a worthy trade off.
@Silly_G I think it would be cool if scanning a amiibo in Minecraft would unlock a skin of that character (ie. Scanning Link gives a Link skin). For the Steve and Alex amiibo, perhaps they could unlock some specific character creator item related to smash. I think that would be very fitting with how amiibo are typically utilized in other games.
Edit: Another idea is to give you a in-game emote related to the character character you scanned, like one of their taunts in smash maybe.
@GsPandem I’m pretty sure this is a original copy. ACE essentially allows the player to reprogram the game, so it probably was all planned out in a romhack before they ported it into the game with ACE.
Just recently got Federation Force, still waiting for my friends to get it so we can do the full campaign. It’s really a underrated game, and Blast Ball is amazing!
@FroZtedFlakerZz You can find fairies in the caves in Terraria that look exactly like fairies in tLoZ (you can also obtain a pet version later in the game). If you get near a chest or other significant piece of loot, they will fly towards it and illuminate it for you. Finding one gives you the achievement!
