What (Non-PS4) game are you playing?? - Retro & Other Gaming Forum - Page 87

@LtSarge Yeah I’m genuinely impressed so far and really looking forward to seeing how the series progresses and like you mention, as a history fan it’s wonderful to be able to visit so many historical periods. I’ve read that Origins has a National Geographic dlc which is like free roam in Egypt, I’m itching to play that one.

I went old skool on my most recent playthrough of «Resident Evil 4» by booting it up on the Nintendo Gamecube. I don't know if it's the onscreen letterbox black bars making the whole thing feel more «cinematic» or just the feel of the (still incredible) controller but I think this is still my favourite version — remake included. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

@LN78 I know what you mean about the controller, while I’ve been loving Metroid Prime Remastered with the Pro Controller, it just isn’t the same without the Cube controller. There are a lot of games like that which the specific button layout of that controller feels perfect, either that or my brain is just hard-wired from an early age to prefer the ABXY buttons in that odd shape.

@nessisonett For sure — I point blank could not play the «Metroid Prime» port on the Wii even though the motion control aiming was objectively better. I'm really glad you enjoyed the Switch remaster — it's my GOTY so far.

@LN78 It’s one of those things where I actually quite like all 3 control schemes for Metroid Prime but for different reasons!

D'oh. I completely forgot you can just buy a rocket launcher from the merchant outside the Salazar boss arena and gank him in one shot. In fairness it has been a few years since I played it, but still — I just wasted nearly an hour trying to do it with rifle ammo!
