Someone finally came up with a replacement for the old Blinking Light Win to fix NES frontloaders. Unfortunately all this seems to do is move the cartridge slot forward and remove the ZIF mechanism so you'll still need to find a 72-pin connector that doesn't deathgrip your cartridges, which is a problem the Blinking Light Win didn't have.

I played Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos on the highest difficulty and it sucks. The hitpoints function oddly, at least on that mode. You get hit once and lose about half your health, then you get hit again and lose another third. Essentially, you can only ever take 3-4 hits without healing. That means all the max HP upgrades are a red herring (although the same upgrade tree gives more health from healing sources, which are probably worthwhile).

Anyway, the game basically plays like a very clunky version of A Link to the Past. As in, almost all of the equipment is directly aped from that game. It's fairly easy, but a lot of deaths feel cheap. I have walked into a room and instantly died because an enemy was spawned on me. It also has co-op, but apparently it's still buggy to this day. One big piece of advice for accelerating progression to anyone who tries it: always buy the elevator shortcuts. Lower floors drop more of the upgrade currency (e.g. dungeon 1 floor 2 drops more than dungeon 1 floor 1, dungeon 2 floor 1 drops more than dungeon 1 floor 3, etc), which you lose most of upon trying to re-enter a dungeon after having died.

There are a couple collectathons I recall. One is fishing and the other is finding 100 orbs hidden across the world. What's strange is the orbs upgrade your dungeon currency retention between dungeon attempts, but it only ever goes up to 25% and you're almost done with the game by the time you collect them all.

There are also some other classe

Yeah, those are some bad cases of tumblr noses and ugly characters trying to pass for chibi. I hadn't even heard of this but if the idea is to combine a structured hand-crafted world like ALttP with roguelike progression and dungeon delving then that sounds like putting pickles on chocolate cake.

This can all depend on the mud itself and the client you use. Again, they can be a ton of fun.  If I recall they're is a mud building client around. I wonder how hard it would be to make one.

I'm at MGC right now and seeing some fresh hell as we speak. They've got a pinball game about stock footage of meat on a grill, a VR godzirra shooteroo and a fat stack of indieshits that I've seen in the game room so far. If I get a high score on anything I'll be sure to leave something lulzy as the initials.

Alien vs Predator was fun.  You could sum it up as Final Fight 3 with lots of guns added: it has Street Fighter-style command inputs, and you can jump while in a grapple.  At least one character has an air-grab.  They mostly solved the problem where you'd repeatedly swap weapons at your feet when trying to attack.  Instead of →→/←← to run, your directional jump launches you across the screen.  The characters all look ridiculously cool in motion, and it's neat to see how much Capcom had evolved their brawler formula since '89.  The only thing I can fault it for are the low-effort Engrish story but it's an arcade game so who cares and the music, which if we're comparing to FF3, sucks ass.  It sounds a lot like the D&D brawlers and Knights of the Round.  Not awful, but not even as good as the original Final Fight, which is weird because apparently the same guy composed both.

Soul Reaver: the worldbuilding is impressive.  It seems like the writers drew inspiration from Tolkien and Anne Rice.  I appreciate Tony Jay explaining to me how Hell works.  It's a lot of exposition, but it's quality writing.  The action is clunky, unfortunately: you're supposed to throw certain enemies into obstacles to kill them, and this would've been easier Mario 64 style instead of grab+throw being a single input.  The camera is frustratingly inert and slow to manually adjust.  Many such issues.

Tales of Rebirth has retarded baby writing, which I guess is typical of the series, but is refreshingly easy to read with my retarded baby level of Japanese.  The guy who played old man Joseph Joestar and Jet Black RIP voices what I assume is one of the main characters, which for me is the main draw so far.  Hopefully the combat gains more depth than mashing O to win, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that.
>READAN
About halfway through Dracula.  I remember an analysis that pointed out how the older characters die off, leaving the younger characters to fill their places.  It's true.  There's a lot of coming-of-age in the midst of a vampire plague.  The cast is more colorful than I remember and the epistolary format enhances the horror by giving an otherwise straightforward narrative a kind of "found footage" quality.  It must be pieced together through the eyes of various people rather than being directly explained to you.  I'm up to the part where Van Helsing realizes that Lucy has returned as a vampire.

Yes, yes it does when you notice that it's two double-quotes instead of multiple single quotes. It's been changed multiple times at this point, what you tried used to be right but was buggy if I remember correctly.

I feel like La-Mulana 2 was more like what you describe, while the first game had a few more things you had to notice or weren't painfully obvious from the hints given. Plus in one case you had to RTFM to get a hint instead of it being in the game.
But La-Mulana was more about being an homage to old adventure games than being intended as an adventure itself. It's adventure by proxy, kind of akin to how if you wanted to make a tennis game you wouldn't try to recreate Pong, but if you wanted to make a Pong homage you'd get a game that's like tennis by proxy. In a way it's similar to people trying to do retro 3D art on purpose, while the actual art they eant to emulate was trying to do the best it could given the hardware available to them. I love La-Mulana, but wouldn't describe it how OP describes Tunic and OW.

Sandboxes are always at their most fun when played with friends, so it's especially bizarre to design singleplayer games with those mechanics.

To your point, it is the greatest weakness with TotK. While BotW has some sandbox elements, it was always to interact with what was ahead of you. Assembling objects on the fly and then having like five or six different currencies on top of that ruined TotK's game design.

>>241699 (OP) 
I think the important thing is that the world has to be crafted with intent. Outer Wilds is only a single solar system but each planet is unique in that it truly feels like you are exploring every nook and cranny. There is a need to travel to every planet and even revisit planets given new information. By the end of the game you feel accomplished having uncovered the secrets to the solar system and the universe.
No Man's Sky is the perfect example of bad design. The devs hide the lack of content by overwhelming the player with billions of planets that could be reduced to a few dozen unique ones. Your sense of adventure fades away as you realize more and more the lack of purpose and intent. The planets all have the same fauna/minerals with random names so you can "discover" the same ones 100 times over, NPCs, enemies, weather, events, and even terrain generation. It is more like a bad fever dream of repeating yourself over and over while being unable to stop. The sense of adventure is killed once this is realized as you have already explored all there is to offer. In fact, the end game is about finding out that nothing you do matters and you should give up. As even the devs have baked their bad design into the story itself.

>>241848
It's funny that you identify NMS as being the repetitive one when Outer Wilds literally resets every 20 minutes, and even funnier that it's true. Outer Wilds has quite a bit more going for the space part by having orbiting celestial bodies, orbiting satellites, gravitational variance, and phenomenon like black holes and supernovas in addition to the planetary quirks unique to its universe while NMS is just planet hopping. I don't fault the idea of procedural generation especially when it comes to terrain, I think it needed to be heavily tuned to make life and interesting geography infrequent so the really cool planets pop. The real culprit is the lack of objective and the fact that what you can already do at the beginning is not so different than what you can do at the end.

>The simple fact is that currently video games are among the least fair goods/services on the planet, and there is no legal framework for forcing a company to do anything in good faith (like patch the game to be playable offline, or not make it GaaS in the first place).
Yes there is, you don't buy nor play games made by those companies.
>he simply wants to make the effort to establish some kind of solid legal ruling
Getting things done through the legal system will result in nothing changing at best. At worst, the very same companies pushing these practices are going to be the ones writing the laws that "regulate" how these companies operate in the future.

And those companies are finances are plummeting because customers are tired of their shit, and shareholders are writing up lawsuits (If they haven't already filed them) for these companies having abandoned their fiduciary duties.
