I know /vr/ doesn't have many N fans but how come no one ever told me about this? Memorable ghost after memorable ghost, great pacing, its own charm that doesn't feel like generic Mario. Even dying is possible, which helps the atmosphere. At least I'm running around at low health for 2 hours now

I tried 3 before and thought the IP just wasn't for me. It was a bit too slow with more filler rooms, combat had that Hulk smash gimmick and it for some reason had way fewer unique ghosts than the first game seems to have? Probably also didn't help that I played RE Village right before

The best thing about is is that you can skip the door animations.

Honestly, all classic survival style games have the problem that it feels like you've seen almost everything after 1 hour. I never understood the fascination with having the same 'so dark and spoopy' atmosphere throughout an entire game.

And I know LM isn't exactly a survival horror game but it's a play on the genre and imo suffers from the same thing.

The solution isn't more variety within a game, it's shorter and more focused games. Preferably with an emphasis on replayability.

So much for the “zoomers have low attention spans” narrative, they’d rather have games to focus on long-term instead of rapidly moving between short titles

If low health is troubling for you, you can heal a lot by interacting with the drawer in the baby’s room, with the hearts.
It’s a fun game, not very adventurous but very charming. I like how trying to open a locked door plays the main theme somewhat. Even catching the Boos, which in any other game would be a slog of a fetch quest, is fast-paced and doable without seceding from the main path constantly.

The original is the only game in the series with contrast and a genuine spooky atmosphere. The rest are all bright as fuck for some reason and the visual design is a bit Tim Burton. 2 is ass and I'm surprised they're remaking it, but 3 is alright for a game made by Canadians. 1 is the best but very short.

gotta love how no one in the comments can agree on what the best way to catch ghosts is, some say rotating the stick, some say in the direction of the ghost, some say the opposite direction, some say tapping the stick, some say tapping and holding it a bit

From what I remember you roll the stick back and forth in the opposite direction of the ghost. Doesn't the game tell you that?

The non retro ghostbuster game from like 2009 is the best game. Really the closest we'll ever get to a proper ghostbusters trilogy.

It's not that /vr/ is "nintendo unfriendly", more like over the years, the honest posting from when /vr/ was new has waned and more ironic /v/ style shitposting took over. In part due to a lot of the old userbase leaving and being replaced.
It's not just nintendo, sega also gets shitposted to death. Popular Playstation games too, although the shitposters don't seem to target PS as much as Sega and Nintendo.
The removal of the unique IP counter also contributed to the quality sinking lower.

I remember "rediscovering" this game after I'd gotten it around release, like two or three years later, and being surprised at how good it was. I don't know, it just didn't really click the first time, but then later, bam. It's a phenomenal balance between adventure game design and arcadey score attack gameplay.

What do you mean by “roll”
Tilt the stick back and forth from its natural position? Tilt the stick from towards the ghost to away from the ghost? Rotate the stick in a circular motion towards the ghost then away from the ghost?

>> No.10897868

>>10897486
Only your last idea could be considered rolling and no. You point the stick in the opposite direction of the ghost and then roll the stick maybe a fifth or quarter turn back and forth.

Because its not particularly that good compared to all of its sequels. I never really understood the "vacuum" mechanics either, but all of my friends returned it after a day of renting.

I'm surprised you never played it. It was a must play on the GC back in the days and could easily be finished with a single rental
It's really a fantastic launch title. The light effects still holds up today and the game looks damn great
