It turns out that 2D sidescrollers can still be really fun games in 2015.

Somebody asked in the Witcher 3 but got ignored, are they actually rehauling the combat system or is it still somehow worse than every single mmo ever made like the first two games?

Dumb question: when old games call a continue a rest, does that stand for restart or does it actually mean rest for some reason? Cause continuing isn't resting, its keeping going, right?

example: firestriker on snes

My first five mins in witcher were like:

jams attack...witcher enters attack animations eventually with the air, enemy has since teleported behind him

jams roll...witcher eventually stops attacking and rolls, camera snaps around to face the wrong way

jams parry...witcher cannot parry yet

jams use...witcher has broken the flag for that switch by not clearing out all hostiles before using it. reload


its definitely an easy mode game for me so that the fighting is over faster.

I found my original World of Warcraft vanilla manual the other day, I was reading through it and other then the absolute bare basics of combat, everything else in the manual has changed between then and now.

I realize you're probably talking about the mechanics but I can't imagine that Metzen and the rest of the writing team's constant need to retcon every single piece of lore they've ever had in the setting every 10 minutes has done much good to the appeal of the current game to long time players.

DKC3 wasn't that bad, it just really bloated and uneven and uninspired visually. It was the SNES equivalent of Banjo-Tooie cramming a ton of minigames and FPS segments and giant interconnected levels into Banjo-Kazooie's framework.

Well, before the Cataclysm expansion, the way the plot worked was that your character level was where you were in the plot. So being level 1-60 meant the first expansion hadn't happened yet, and generally speaking your character did every single quest, storywise, (which is a pretty crazy amount of bear asses to get people), but even then it didn't quite work because some NPCs would be different (Like now the Horde leader is Vol'jin, but in vanilla wow it was Thrall and the capital horde city has Vol'jin there regardless of level), but you just sort of had to accept that as part of an MMO. After the Cataclysm expansion all the vanilla poo poo is different so now the story is just a clusterfuck, and the only stuff that's "accessible" storywise is what's in the current expansion.

Warcraft 2 was my first real Blizzard title, but I bought the warchest edition that came with Warcraft I, but I didn't play that until later. Then I got into Diablo, and then Starcraft and then Warcraft III. I had thought from the start actually that you could make an awesome RPG out of Warcraft III's graphics engine, low and behold that's exactly what ended up happening, except it was a lovely MMO instead.
