I think a better question would be "what colors CAN'T be used as representations of specific statuses"

Blue fire in games can be common too, tends to represent souls a lot.

precision posted:Mechanically it's like comparing San Andreas to GTA3 - it's basically the same, but more and streamlined. I wasn't nearly as hot on the first one as some people, but Second fixes literally every problem I had with the first and even some I didn't notice until they'd been fixed. I used both the nekomancer and the cake wizard (or "chef" if you want to call it that) in my endgame party, and I completely wrecked everything. Most of the jobs are great, it's just a matter of knowing how to use them. I agree that there's not much side stuff, but I think the game is better for it since it's still incredibly long. It's not for people who like to explore, but if you like the characters and the job system it's easily one of the best games to come out this year.

Sometimes health is red but green is healing. Because herbs are green.

health is red because of Red Crosses. healing is green because green is positive

What about using numbers for HP

Help Im Alive posted:What about using numbers for HP Depends highly on the game. In some games like turn-based strategy HP are the best way, because they allow you to make tactical decisions if damage is exact or calculated risks if damage is semi-random (i.e. 1d4+4). Some games don't need the granularity of displayed HP though. I like when games that don't have an easy-to-read HP number (even a count of blocks, like in Castlevania or Mega Man) give you a "grace" period upon taking lethal damage, like leave you with an empty bar and then you can get hit one more time. I think it's a fair way for games that abstract the display of health to avoid killing you from a hit you thought you could just barely survive, which encourages players to do more daring or exciting things, which is good.

Oh, another pet peeve in things like strategy: if the game is displaying things like hit percentages, don't loving lie about them. If you're rounding or fudging numbers, always do so in the player's favor. Streak protection to HELP the player in a singleplayer game is fine, but don't tell me something has a 50% chance to hit and then have the actual chance be lower or 0 because I've hit too many times in a row, for example.

in stellaris they tell you the chance that a population tile will change its ethics towards or away your empire, in percent. but they don't tell you that percent is actually divided by 10

Games shouldn't be shackled to colors because of choices made by other games. Let the devs make whatever color choices they feel work with their art direction.

Ometeotl posted:Games shouldn't be shackled to colors because of choices made by other games. Let the devs make whatever color choices they feel work with their art direction. Certainly. But I do think it's fine for games, especially complex ones like RPGs and strategy that often have a lot to learn, to respect an intuitive shared language for basic elements unless they have a great reason to break it. Like if you make health blue and mana red you better have a drat good explanation for yourself!!!

Jay Rust posted:What colour should represent poison in games? Green or purple? In The Suffering the fact that the poisonous gas is bright green instead of transparent like it was in actual gas chambers is because the evil ghost executioner who uses it colored it green so his victims could see it coming. Always thought that was a cool little detail.

Mr E posted:Did the new Paper Mario end up being good? I'm at the final level, and yes absolutely. The primary improvement over sticker star is that every single level is unique and memorable. It feels less linear than Sticker Star (though this is a bit of an illusion), with quests and storylines stretching across levels and having you go back and forth between levels for more than just grabbing a necessary Thing (though that still exists as well). There are a handful of levels that aren't great, but they're few and far between and the vast majority of the game is a lot of fun. If generic Toads and Mario enemies makes you extremely angry in and of itself, this game doesn't change that, though the Toads manage to be varied and have distinct characters and personalities. The combat feels a bit clunky at first, even more so than Sticker Star's, but I got used to it quickly and in the late game there are a few battles and areas that actually do more interesting things with the card painting mechanic to make that feel more of a meaningful addition. The battle rewards being money is still a bit odd as for most of the game I was absolutely swimming in coins not knowing what to do with them, but by the end of the game the difficulty ramped up and buying powerful and expensive cards became more important. It still is more similar to Sticker Star than to any of the older Paper Marios but it fixes the main complaint I personally had with Sticker Star - that it was boring for long stretches - and that's good enough for me. It's probably the funniest Paper Mario in the series, even if it doesn't have the same extensive story and characters that the first three did.

Yo, apparently there IS something missable in Stardew Valley: the three heart cutscene with Sam. You have to do it in Year One or it never happens again. I threw pizza at him until he had a touching cutscene on the beach, but if I'd missed that, man. I might have restarted my game. (Curse you, completionist tendencies!)

Looper posted:Conquest doesn't let you grind and it's also the best one (because of its amazing map design not the grinding) Playing Conquest on Lunatic Classic was one of the most frustrating yet satisfying things I've done in a game. Whenever I beat a stage, I really felt like I'd EARNED it. And then I'd take another dozen tries at the next stage and feel like a moron until I earned my win again.
