I mean there's a Sonic fighter on GBA if you wanna see it now.

I played that game quite a lot as a kid. It ain't actually that bad.

It has some of the most horrendous main menu music I've ever heard, though.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I have not played much Sonic, but Sonic Mania was really fun and beautiful.

The stars. How are you doing?

Meh, I’m okay. How you been, Shiny?

What do you mean?

Just found out Scarlet Nexus is an action rpg and not a hack and slash like it looked and now I’m dissapointed. I don’t understand why the genre is so scarce now, and when they do do it they have to add in all these tedious and boring things that just drag out the experience and make it less fun. I’m sick of exploration. I’m sick of skill trees. I’m sick of side quests. I’m sick of realism. I’m sick of souls like combat. I’m sick of collecting materials and crafting. And I am so sick of bland personality less leads meant to favor “immersion”. I’m just tired of it. But even in the trailers for next gen games that looks like all we’re getting. We got like... a sackboy platformer here and a ratchet and clank game there (that is already still very much favoring the existing trends I railed against). But that’s all in between all the Miles Moraleses and the Demon Soulses and the weird games I don’t even remember the names of. I’m just fed up with it.

What do you want the games to be, then?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

What do you want the games to be, then?

Leads with personalities and names. Linear levels. Highly stylized combat with button combos. Speed. Action. Customization limited to unlock-able alternate costumes. And good stories. Of course, that's just some of them. I also want platformers. And I don't want any one type of game to become dominant like it has. And I want all of those different types of games to get the big spotlight at the press conferences and streams.

More Bayonetta's and Travis Touchdowns. Less Steves and Chosen Undeads.

Happy XSeX/XSeS Day

 

[Lamperouge]

How are y'all doin on this fine Tuesday?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Well decided to go a little crazy and go with one of the cast from Takeshi's Castle (MXC to you Americanos) this week. Also finally got Ghostrunner and it is amazingly fun, but very hard.

Unfortunately, that's the only good news I have. Anxiety symptoms are on the high (one of the worst so far) and I've only slept about 3 hours the past two days but have been resting what I can. I'm also worried about the insomnia being permanent even though I know it is unlikely. Had to go to hospital for another check.

On the funny note of that trip, did revisit a few 3DS games like Mario Kart 7 while waiting. And a drunkard getting his ass hauled out of hospital. I mean really, guy was trying to start a fight to some other guy while being really blocked in the head.

However it is probably another down of about five weeks of ups and downs. Really trying though. Just afraid if I don't get any sleep again.

How are y'all doin on this fine Tuesday?

Outside of those points, trying to pull through. Going to watch another Studio Ghibli film, probably When Marnie Was There (really underlooked) or maybe Kiki's Delivery Service again.

How's you dude?

I can't complain, I suppose. Just gonna take a short nap in a few because I got no sleep last night and I have work in a few hours.

And I keep telling myself that I'll sit down and watch a Studio Ghibli film someday myself, but I just never do. Really need to change that.

Honestly I agree with you on saying I'm sick and tired of all the realism. I miss the days where every game had, if nothing else, a unique artstyle that made it stand out from the rest, not the same old 267 guns, swords, and spears everyone besides Nintendo seems to be fond of. But that's all I can agree on tbh.

I just find hack and slashes boring. Like.. it feels awesome to beat through tons of enemies like it's nothing... but that's not really enough to sink my teeth into. I'm more fond of games that have compelling gameplay over all else(although a compelling story is nice) and hack and slashes... simply don't satisfy me.

I would always recommend From Up On Poppy Hill or Kiki's Delivery Service. I love a lot of the other films but those two are my favourite.

Noted.

I'll check them out once I have the motivation to watch anime again.

different strokes I guess. I find it boring to have an enemy encounter be nothing but hit, roll, block, dodge, wait, wait, block, hit, hit, hit, etc.

That's actually what I like about most game combat these days: how simple they are. If I have to do anything more than press a few buttons to fight an enemy I tend to get peeved. Shouldn't have to memorize entire combo chains, optimal buttons presses, and hidden mechanics just to fight enemies IMHO (one of the main reasons I'm not interested in competitive Smash to give an example)

To me, fighting the enemies is the main point of playing a game with fighting in it. And if the combat is just hitting one button and moving, then it becomes very very boring indeed.

I finally finished the story campaign of Pokemon Shield.

Maybe it's just because I haven't been playing since Gen 1 or even Gen III, but I really don't get the majority of the negative reception the game gets. I personally enjoyed most of what it had to offer, though doing most of the Isle of Armor (everything that can be done until the post-game begins, at least) before getting to Wyndon helped enhance the experience. The Shinx and Alolan Vulpix I got from there even ended up becoming permanent members of my team, and I didn't even evolve the latter for a while.

Hop's still a great character, don't care what anyone else says. Rose was a weird villain who's motivations I get but who could've been executed much better, because the actions he makes in the story makes him come off as dense and impulsive rather than a truly conflicted anti-villain, which is the direction I think they were going for. Same goes for Oleana and the Macro Cosmos staff, who were really just doing their jobs and taking them to the extreme. The overall story is solid aside from the human antagonists. The Eternatus fight was great in every way. The Wild Areas are a concept that should be expanded upon. The game wasn't terribly challenging, but it also wasn't a a total cakewalk, either. Not at all. The National Pokedex ordeal is less of a problem what with the DLC having brought back almost every missing 'Mon by now, especially since it took care to include a lot of fan favorites first and foremost.

I can get why people would consider Sw/Sh another repetition of past games, but the games as a whole are far, far from being genuinely bad.

[Metal Shop X]

After killing Phantom with the easy-money trick on his final battle, of course Griffon as to bring me back to reality by killing me over & over again.

Thankfully, I did it & I know a stragegy when it come to dealing with Griffon 2, so we see how it goes.

Also I know you can skip Griffon 1, but I got to do it the fair to know what **** I'm getting into later.

Also got a bunch of S Rank & even a A Rank. Tho I did get a C on Griffon mission due to using 1 gold orb, which stink, but ehhh, I prefer winning than getting a good rank.

 

[Will]

Can we PLEASE give the rpg-ification of games and go back to a simpler mode of over the top action oriented gameplay? Please?

NMH Duology is on sale for under 40 dollars, just telling you. Pretty over-the-top. Pretty good. Pretty nice setup for the third.
