raocow's talkhaus

Today's level reminded me a lot of A Boy and his Blob. Not the remake with those fancy QoL improvements, but the flawed NES original. A very cute and clever game that is an unbelievable chore to play. Some people love it due to the creativity, but others despise it since how the hell are you suppose...

I was really impressed with this level when I first played it and I loved the concept, but I immediately turned on full cheats and ignored the gimmick. I didn't even give it a shot. I ain't got time for this shit.

Oh man, today was the perfect video after the last few days. All three levels were adorable.

I like the horizontal video. It's a little disorienting when Sonic switches between screens, but that's fairly rare in this game and it's worth it for the bigger and better video. I think a small, black border would help mitigate that, but I'm not sure if it's possible to have a border in that orien...

I wouldn't say the problem is necessarily about length or difficulty. Both hard levels and long levels are fine. Even hard and long marathon levels are fine if done well. I love a good marathon and I would hate to see a good level cut down in size. Hard, precise levels with no margin for error need ...

I adored that carnival level. The humour was on point and I've always loved levels with a variety of short minigames like that Mischief Makers level. The ending game was crazy difficult (most of that coming from me not realizing those blocks gave you a mushroom until I saw raocow's video), but an ex...

Oh man, that was cathartic to watch. I was so excited by the gimmick when I first played the level, but then it just fell apart due to nightmare difficulty and not respecting the players time. I would have beat it legit if there were midpoints at every section and the level gave me time to learn the...

I'm more with the judges on this level. The level refused to end and I didn't find the level design particularly fun. It wasn't bad, but it was repetitive and in a long level that's not what you want. I died significantly more than raocow did too, so that just added to the tedium. And I fell for the...

I like the upside down bridge railing because it's easy for me to know that I'm dealing with 1F0. How else are you supposed to represent a block that only enemies can stand on without confusing the player?

The overt sexualization is a bit much and do I wish developers would stop assuming we're all horny teenagers, but ultimately it isn't any worse than the Shantae games which are quite mainstream. I'm far more offended by sexist characterizations than big boobs and jiggle physics. The gameplay looks f...

There were a lot of places where you had to do jumps in quick succession, but it seemed like my inputs would sometimes get eaten. Don't know if there's more of a delay between when you're allowed to jump again just after landing (compared to SMW) Yeah, I had the same problem. There's definitely a d...

Oh, that's not just a random suggestion. I see the update now.

Yeah, it'll be the originals for sure given he played the Crash originals.

Neither. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos!

It got off to a strong start due to those gorgeous graphics, but the actual gameplay loop is kinda dull. The dungeons are just a series of long hallways leading to identical square rooms. I was sick and tired of seeing that damned log halfway through the video. It makes sense in a randomly generated...

The fairy clouds were so odd in this level. You can jump over every gap with a running jump, so I never used the clouds after my first death. Yes, I died on the normal route. As for the hard path, I was toying with the idea of running along the normal path first to detonate the top-most enemies to t...

This just launched.

I'm playing Invictus . I fell in love with Kaizo thanks to YUMP 2 and Invictus is my first "medium" difficulty Kaizo hack. I played about a dozen easy Kaizo hacks first to build up my skills and I'm very glad I did. I would be having a rough time if I had jumped in immediately after YUMP 2...

I mean, the remake doesn't look bad, but the original Mega Drive version still looks better.

Just finished Aladdin for the Genesis. That one gave me so much trouble as kid. Now I'm playing Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa (that weird Famicom Konami platformer where you play as a baby). It has a really interesting mechanic where you can hit enemies with your rattle to inflate them like Dig Dug and th...

I've been critical of this game, but I loved the K. Rool fight. Sure, it's a bit janky, but having such an epic final confrontation where all the Kongs take on K.Rool using their unique abilities was amazing. Yes, you have to repeat the early parts of the fight if you die, but once you've learned a ...

I was reading about those problems on the Steam forums too. Nothing a couple of patches won't fix.

To be fair to Rare, they should have cut the music entirely from the game. It serves no purpose in exploration and it's ridiculously overpowered in battle. I can't blame Rare for at least prohibiting it in a few places to not trivialize the minigame.

This is out now and it's awesome.
