I decided to take a break from Ori and the blind forest as the difficulty is growing exponentially and getting more and more frustrating. Metroidvania, I know, I know, but...
Started playing Fallout 4 and to be honest I'm not seeing any issue with the next gen update, except the screen getting brighter during dialogs. I don't know if it's a setting or something, but it's kinda annoying. Nothing that would make me stop playing though
Anyone know how to get this item in #OriAndTheBlindForest? All I can find are written guides that are confusing AF and video "walkthroughs" that are from earlier in the game when you don't have the necessary powers to break the wall 😑
Started playing Ori and The Blind Forest on Steam Deck last night, then the TV this morning, and then the Desktop this evening. About 32% completed so far!
Just finished #OriAndTheBlindForest in time for the end of the year. Thoroughly enjoyable experience that will definitely bring me back with its sequel.
So my only complaint regarding #OriAndTheBlindForest is that every 10-15 seconds (and usually when my character jumps) I get hit with some slowdown.
My frame rate doesn't drop, and it almost looks deliberate..and yet it totally throws my timing off. Is this a design choice, or am I going to have to tweak something to get around this admittedly somewhat pretty bit of lag?
Uuuuugh 🤢 Was playing Ori and the Blind Forest and got to a section where (for an admittedly neat effect) the graphics on the screen all sort of wobble around. Like a trip.
Made me so nauseated I had to stop playing. Wonder if there's a way to turn that off. I get that it's cool but it's hard on the ol'stomach.
I like the slingshot concept in "Ori and the Blind Forest," where I can use a lantern, a projectile, or just an enemy to shoot myself in one direction and the object I used in another. Later, it can be paired up with a parachute. Really nice mechanics.
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Ori and the Blind Forest is a Metroidvania platformer, and it's utterly gorgeous.
The prologue broke my heart a little bit. I don't know quite what else to say about this. The sound design is also wonderful, immediately drawing me into Ori's world.
It seems that Ori's goal is to restore life to the forest, but I haven't played enough of the game yet.
However, I wanted to keep playing, which is a significant change since the start of the year.
One of the odd things about playing so many platform games over the past few months is that, in something that has genuinely surprised me, I do seem to have improved at my platforming skills.
It's still a struggle, and I'm not going to be playing anything on hard mode (or probably even normal), but on easy mode I find that platformers go from something that just provides me with endless frustration, to a challenge that feels rewarding.
