      Maybe they just want to feel something. Anger, I assume.

        Impotent rage. The feeling that you want to punch some people in the face, but knowing full well that’s impossible.

        why are you playing multiplayer games designed to suck the life and money out of you. there are tons of fantastic single player games. your time has more worth than you can dedicate to slop.

      Yeah I wish that would play on my desktop. What I get for using Gentoo I guess. Might try running it on an actual desktop instead of a Window Manager. Who knows maybe that will make a difference.

        That’s surprising. It has supported Vulkan for a long time. Then again, I may not fully understand how your setup works.

          Vulkan is not the issue it doesn’t even get that far. Game doesn’t get through the setup wizard for installing libraries even.

          Maybe it doesn’t work right with Wayland, or maybe my USE flags are too aggressive. I don’t know.

    I recently decided to play through the Konami Castlevania collection, and holy shit they are bad, I’m sure they get better, but I got to Dracula in the first game and the controls are SOOO fucking bad. This picture encapsulates exactly how I feel. Just at work, hating Castlevania, and thinking about playing it when I get home.

      Not sure which collection you’re playing but there’s basically two types of Castlevania games. There’s the ones modeled after the first game, the Richter style games. A linear platformer, many have frustrating controls. I generally hate these ones. Then there’s the ones that spawned from Symphony of the Night that gave the Vania in the Metroidvania genre games. These rock and most of them are generally pretty good.

        Super Castlevania 4 is the best of those early ones. Rondo is pretty good also but very hard. People find charms in the first 3 but they’re a bit rough.

        If you prefer the Symphony lineage, the gameboy collections are very good. Not every game is brilliant but it’s amazing value.

      it gets better once you have full control of the whip, i think that happens in super castlevania 4

      juat wait til you get to simons quest, which is the game that pretty much created the gamer review format when AVGN uploaded his review in 2004

        That happens in Super Castlevania/4, and then subsequently un-happens and never fully comes back. I have no idea WTF was up with that decision. Being able to whip in all directions was rad.

        You can kinda-sorta whip diagonally upwards in Castlevania: Bloodlines and you can still do the thing where you hold the button down and fidget around impotently with the whip in Rondo of Blood and Dracula X, but that’s about it. Oh, and I guess you can do the thing in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon where you helicopter the thing around and it does crap for damage, too. Lame.

    Fuck that, I’ve finally got a full day off work for the first time in over a week and I’m stoked to sit down and play some 40k Rogue Trader. This game kicks ass.

    Might hit some Deadlock tonight too.

        I’m a longtime 40k fan and Rogue Trader is one of the few games that I feel like really nail the setting spot on. And I also enjoyed Owlcat’s Pathfinder games, they’ve got a strong pedigree behind them. If you’re a fan of CRPGs and Warhammer 40k you should definitely pick it up, it’s great. If you’re not a 40k fan, the game is still good, but you’ve got some homework to do if you want to understand the setting and understand the decisions you’re making - the Pathfinders might be a better fit for you.

    Lots of good games out there. If you’re playing, say, shitty ubisoft games, that’s on you.

        Haven’t played it so I have no opinion on its quality, but that came out a decade ago.

          It can be both a decade old and top-5 of all time. It’s a great day when a top-5 game is on GoG or so.
