[PokeCommunity.com] The PokeCommunity Game-Along VI: Return of the Gaming


ughhhh I finished Piczle Cross Story of Seasons, but I had to kinda make several sprints to actually get to this point... I think the game is fine because it's hard to mess up a Picross game (besides the fact that things like menus seemed to lag? It wasn't the most stable game I've played) but oh I did not enjoy playing it for a monthly challenge like this. I've learned a lesson that these games are good as timekillers and should stay that way, because trying to play a lot at once got me incredibly bored and kind of annoyed, usually somewhere between the 1 and 2 hour marks. I like this game, I like Story of Seasons, and it's a reminder that one day I'll go back to Pioneers of Olive Town, but it was just okay and I kinda regret my choice.
Edit: The entire thing took 43 hours, which is way more than I expected???
 
I managed to 100% Scribblenauts Unlimited. It was... Decent. Though I was playing on what is apparently the worst version, so I can't hold it to the game too much. Regardless, I'll likely avoid picking one of those again, as the gameplay wasn't quite what I was hoping it would be.
 
I bet Portal 2's single player last night. Fun experience all in all. Maybe could have been a little shorter and hence tighter, but it had pretty great dialogue throughout.
 

April: Hack and Slash

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. If that's the case, perhaps the computer is more powerful than either since it can do everything a pen can do but also let you play hit MMO FFXIV. I would argue though that if someone jumped me I'd rather have a sword on hand than be forced to beat someone over the head with my laptop or attempt to John Wick a guy with a BIC. So, this month, we're running an experiment to see which weapon is actually superior.

For the month of April, you must play a game that is either based around hacking and computers OR melee combat with a weapon.

And here I thought the Game-Along would be the only thing that could release me from the absolute chokehold FFXIV 7.2 has me in...

I've been trying to stick to games I've never played before for these, and didn't end up finding anything on my immediate backlog that caught my interest. However, scrolling through what my options could be, I suddenly got a really strong yearning to re-experience The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, which I'd say heavily features melee combat with a sword. I'd like to actually go for 100% this time, because I never finished getting all the figurines. If you know, you know.
Though honestly, I was about to start replaying Kirby Squeak Squad today and the idea of only playing the game using the Sword ability was very funny
 
I'm tentatively going to try TIS-100. It's more of a programming game than hacking, I think, but the official thumbnail on steam DOES call it "the ultimate hacking game" so I feel like it should count.

I only say tentatively because I might be too stupid to get through it in which case I will pick a game with a sword. :coolrim:
 
Similarly to Cherrim, TIS-100 was the first game that came on my mind. But I'm not feeling like playing another Zachtronics game this soon after Infinifactory. So I have a question. Would games like Do not feed the monkeys or Orwell count? They usually focus on gathering info using computers and can have light hacking elements to them.

I'm going to say no to Don't Feed the Monkeys. From what I can see, it's less about the technology itself than about what you see on the screen. I'd be willing to pay Orwell at a stretch though since you do actively mess around with data and encryption through a computer in both Orwell games.
 
Had a harder time picking a game than one might expect. Preferred to not play a longer game. Stood little chance of beating some random old roguelike.

Selects Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. Has not played it in ages. Sticks with melee characters during the adventuring sections.
