i wasn't surprised at all that PSO2 worked. i remember running this game in portrait mode several years ago and it was like "okay sure go for it man."
the HUD is totally wack but i know you can adjust some of it at least. just never bothered trying.
also the FOV can't be adjusted, which is really dumb. you can only change camera zoom and there are only 5 settings. the max one is just barely at my "playable" range lol. there used to be a mod that let you change the FOV but they changed their anti-cheat so it doesn't work anymore.
Got the triple monitors set up! They still need a little bit of adjusting, might try and make the angle a bit wider and the gap between them might drive me a bit insane. But I'm digging it right now for sure, this is so fucking cool.
Pay no attention to Kermit on the left or Jesus on the right. That's just how it goes in my neck of the woods.
hard to get shots while i'm playing the game lmao, guess i should be trying to record it if i want to show off instead xD
ICEY Review (5.5/10)
I feel very... conflicted about this game. I think I like it? It has some pretty good combat, although it is very rough around the edges. I-frames barely exist, even in places you think they would, like after taking damage. If there are any, they're extremely small and it can lead to just getting chained by enemy attacks. There is only one jump height as well, and you can't alter the length of your dash in any way. Because of that, it feels like you don't have a lot of fine control over your character. Despite that, the combat is flashy and nice to look at, which does translate into it feeling fun to play.
The thing I really DIDN'T like about this game is the Stanley Parable style narration and meta story design. It worked for that game, but it didn't really work for something like this for me. I would have VASTLY preferred this game to rip out the narrator entirely, maybe extend the levels by a little bit, and just let you freely explore around them while progressing. I understand this game is from 2016 and that was all the rage back then, you know, Deadpool came out in 2016. It's just annoying now, though, ten years later. They could have still told a very similar story without that, much like we saw MiSide do more recently.
The art is decent, the music is pretty good. There was another kind of dumb meta moment at the beginning of the game where I didn't get to choose the difficulty I wanted, it just asked me questions and then gave me one and I couldn't figure out how to change it. That was pretty annoying as well. If you're going to be playing this game, just know what you're getting yourself into.
Cute girl though.
mainly post about music and games, and share art from artists i like.
obviously i don't condone any sort of abuse/exploitation irl, go fuck yourself.
