Re: Super Bomberman R 2 Explodes Onto Switch This September

Ardisan

If yall like Saturn Bomberman and the SNES games, there is a fangame called Power Bomberman that has tons of effort put into it with EVERY (no joke) single Bomberman character including guest ones like Wario playable and tons of game modes. It's a fangame so its PC only if that matters.

As for this game I'm playing it day one. Crossplay is huge.

Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?

Ardisan

Just watched it.
It's fine but I found it pretty boring. I'm definitely not the market for the movie (I'm not a kid). It doesn't really offer much for a older fan outside of nostalgia pander references.
Constant references just don't work for me, they only feel good to me as a form of dessert, not a full coarse meal. Makes all the references feel hollow when they aren't hidden either and done in an intelligent way. The main cast aren't as interesting as the secondary ones that I feel don't get enough of the spotlight (I dislike DK in this movie tho. I'm not even sure why he even needed to speak).

7/10. Very-very safe movie on the most part and I can't say it would leave much of an impression going forward outside of the visuals. I'd remember the terrible first Mario movie more than it since despite its poor quality it was a lot more fun of a watch.

Re: Feature: Hyrule Fields, Ranked - The Best Grassy Plains In The Zelda Franchise

I find the 2d Zelda games have the best overworlds that doesn't feel empty and overly big without a booming civilization.

Would love to see what botw overworld looked like before calamity but even with that its easily better than OoTs overworld, come on.

Edit: wish I could of picked Termina, just didnt notice it, especially since it makes no sense on this list. Of any of the zelda 3d overworlds Termina was the most memorable.

Re: PSA: Watch Out, Fire Emblem Engage Leaks Are Appearing Online

Ardisan

Gonna go complete cynical and say its probably just spoiler alerts for more terribad unconsistent Fire Emblem writing and new pictures of newcomers that look nothing like Fire Emblem characters of the past but FatesSuperfan#289 will pretend Fire Emblem always looked like them because they have a track record of two games to go off of as reference.

Re: SNK Rules Out New KoF Games For Switch Due To System's "Technical Limitations"

Ardisan

Not really missing out imo. KOF games after they went 3d arent for me and its not even entirely because of the graphics (which is average) im talking gameplay as well. They also went extremely safe while Capcom and Arc Sys try more with their IP. Which wasnt always the case back in the day.

Outside of that, I hope the Switch version of Samurai Shodown gets the rollback patch.

Re: Feature: Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, And Gex - The '90s Inspirations Behind 'Frogun'

Ardisan

Despite growing up with Nintendo systems. I always prefered PS1's (and I guess Saturn as well) graphical aesthetic compared to N64. I love the transistion of 3d and pixel art. N64 textures were always very blurry, even the 2d games so I wasnt a fan. Although Rare were legends at utilizing that blur in their games so I like how those games look.

Seems like indie devs like that aesthetic as well and im glad some are doing it. Hopefully this games gameplay grabs my attention when I later buy it because im already in love with the style its inspired by.

Re: Random: The Perfect Pokémon Graphics Don't Exi... Oh

Ardisan

While I agree the 3d the games have rn look horrid, thats pretty obvious, but I wouldnt want this to be what pokemon looks like. I get what its going for, a nostalgic piece of art that captures the gen1 aesthetic very nicely.
My problem is that while it captures the look, it limits itself to the early gen1 color palette which in 3d doesnt pop very much.
Id say this is a good start, but rather they take the aesthetics of the games illustrative art of today which lends itself to more vibrance.

Re: Random: Another Look At The Super Mario Galaxy DS Fan Project

Ardisan

Really got to have posts about C&D every fan mod article, huh.

Would be cool if people actually talked about the mod more in here.

That aside. Wish Mario 64 DS had a good proper 3d analog physics mod (theres a analog mod but its not as good as original 64 or other 3d titles). Game doesnt handle quick turns well so sideflips are slower to do and less fluid.

Re: Soapbox: The Video Game Camaraderie On r/place Is A Lesson About Community

Ardisan

My community is Cavestory and despite being attacked by a 1mil followers streamer that doesn't care about our community whatsoever. We still survived and thats because of so many awesome indie communities and more giving us support. Noita, Omori, Undertale/Deltarune, Trans community, etc were so very kind to us and helped keep our very small community on the place.

We are under the first start wars art btw.

Re: Smash-Style Brawler Rivals Of Aether Is Getting A Sequel With 3D Graphics, Targeting 2024

Ardisan

@Daniel36 Heck im a artist as well and I use Krita a free software for 2D visuals, used the free software pxtone for chiptune music and sfx, and Godot as my free game engine of choice. Just now im learning 3D with Blender like you mentioned, teaching myself through Youtube tutorials, reddit, etc.

Its 100% easier to get started now a days. Way more free access to tools. Only requirement is time.
