Muzzle's too short. It's more Shiba-Inu than fox. Also, dangit, it'd be nice to see Krystal get this type of respect but unfortunately there's such a weird stigma about her, and while her Adventures costume was really nicely designed, her subsequent appearances had such a crappy awkward look that did not mesh with the vibe from the original game. I mean, at least Fay and Miyu were given uniform jackets....
I enjoyed the first of 6 games, but never got myself to play through the rest. As I get older, I have less patience for long RPGs, even if the story is enjoyable. I did like their overall worldbuilding in that first game, but yeah...
I wonder how online piracy circles will have to adjust following any release of public information from Discord. Lots of such groups use that service, so a vulnerability there might spook a lot of them.
All games need more consideration of stereo / surround audio. I remember playing games on the Gameboy with headphones, and the music took full advantage of stereo audio in really awesome ways. Final Fantasy Legend is an amazing example of this. And really, you just don't get much application of such things these days. I have a surround sound system set up properly and with most games, I barely hear a peep from the side speakers....
Your average ratings are too high these days. It makes it difficult to tell when a game is kind-of-a-throwaway experience, or actually something unique and exciting even-if-flawed. As someone who plays a LOT of games, many of the things you've recently rated highly look so bland and uninspired, that even if part of the gameplay loop can be fun, it's like, been there and done that, nothing new to be found... So, yeah, dunno, too many unwarranted 8s and 9s.
That's kind of sad, that a remade game is more popular than any other game. It's a shame people don't give original titles more of a chance. Hell, faster than even Mario Maker 2? I mean... just... weird.
It's okay. It's one of my favorite Zelda games but really, I don't care much for the remake. I had an okay time but not much of a spark. I agree that Ages/Seasons would be at least a bit more interesting. I think I only played those once.
Having the GF play this on Easy. It's really tough for her, but she's slowly getting better. I've had to help her out a few times, but mostly just showing her HOW to do something, then sticking with her to keep her focus on what's needed to be done.
Still, her playtime is 3x mine for about the same amount of completion, and I'm playing Hard while she's playing Easy. She was stuck on the first escape sequence long enough to get a blister on her thumb, too.
Except it was problematic to have relied on foreign production in the first place. Try not relying on China, guys. It'd be more expensive but better in the long run. >
Having played Cytus Alpha on the Switch, I worry that the different type of touch controls (finger over stylus) would be ill-fitting for the nostalgia of the old mechanics. Additionally, you couldn't really translate it effectively into a button-driven game for television play. That's my feelings, anyways. Sadly, it's a series that won't see revival, but it was a blast in its time.
Weebs, I swear. Seriously though, those are some very Japanese games. Not really stuff I'm interested in. I mean, they do good translation work, but, yeah.
A Trails in the Sky Switch collection might be kinda cool?
I've been hanging around FA for too long. All Dynamax sounds like to me is some sort of fetish bait.
Hmm, now I know how my GF feels about some of my own interests sometimes. It's technically harmless but the vocal fans tend to routinely twist it into more.
Do your part, don't fetishize Dynamaxing. K thx internet.
It's good, but it's not like, GREAT. Iconoclasts is a far better choice, and is the game I played right before this one. I think I also played Cross Code around this same time which ALSO blew this out of the water, but that's not quite a Metroidvania.
I got to play this game and I have to say it was really good. I definitely recommend it, as it's one that wasn't talked about but had a really solid set of puzzles and a nice atmosphere to the world.
Am I happy to be alive, or do I wish I didn't have to live on this planet anymore? I honestly can't tell. This looks both horrid and actually-kinda-cool at the same time. @_@
For a town made of sorcerers it looks like garbage. In that the town isn't MADE from the magic they're supposed to be so good at. This is my biggest beef with magic worlds. It's all basic human aesthetic and technology. Live and breathe the magic and build your technologies around it if it's that damned prevalent. Fools.
