Shantae being linear instead of metroidvania is actually the first thing I've heard that sounds really exciting about it. I found the Metroidvania aspects of the previous games kinda lacking.Chomp8645 posted:What is this like Farcry or something? Ghost Recon I think?

Since Bloodstained has been delayed until 2018 Shantae is going to have to fulfill my mermaid giantess bondage quota for the next year, I guess.

Definitely, the most fun I had in Pirates a Curse was the NG+ mode with no backtracking and just flying trough all the levels with the speed booster and triple jump

Help Im Alive posted:I think there are a lot of people that really believe that though That's pretty much what we were conditioned to want in the latter half of the 90's and the first half of the 00's. It was a selling point for a game to have copious amounts of padding and a positive for games media/reviewers to talk about how long a game would take for you to finish.

I have a friend who still gives Portal 2 a terrible review because it was too short compared to other games, and that is literally the only reason he has.

I think it's really easy to get in the mindset of "longer = better" because it's very close to an 'objective' measure of quality. This game is 9000 hours long, and this game is 10 hours long, but they both cost $60, so it's easy to see which is better! Especially when you're a kid and have enough free time that 9000 hours vs 10 hours is actually a relevant decision then it's easy to understand why people get into that place and kind of stick there.

To me hearing a game world is 90000000 acres just means they wasted money making more boring roads between the places with fun in them

Like I'm excited by the prospect of 100 hours of Wicher 3 or 10 hours of Portal and there are games like Pokemon or Final Fantasy where there's like 40 good hours of gameplay and then 60 that I know I would put in because I'm a completist, and then games like To the Moon that are like 10 hours, and, I'll admit, probably should not cost more than $5, and finally games that have 1 billion trillion hours of gameplay, but it's all grind.

I guess there's 4X games too, which are kind of in their own category, because however long an individual playthrough is, it's definitely meant to be replayed ad infinitum.

Disgaea has gotten better about basically having a billion pieces of content with different things and then letting you break off once you're bored. If you're an insane person you'll spend fifteen years grinding out every item to max stats and if you're not there are like 10 different 'end-game' goals that are reasonably achieveable through different methods.

You need to put in approximately 10x the hours you need to clear the main story to clear the extra stuff, it is literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of grinding with very little reward, it's crazy town.

Like I am literally an insane person, with literal OCD, so I just don't play any of those games or watch videos of people sequence breaking Zelda, and I can live in relative peace, having the time both to play video games and to wash my hands for 20 minutes after taking out the trash.

Well, don't get too excited because the game still stops you after every level to do some mandatory backtracking for quest items to progress. It's just structured like levels instead of a metroidvania map instead, and it's a lot more streamlined so if you know where to go you can get there pretty fast using the Warp. Wouldn't be surprised if those things were changed for the other characters though.

I was looking at my Shantae PS4 code and apparently I have an early access code I completely did not remember having paid for. I think that will give anyone that uses it the full thing on PC, and I'm not gonna use it because I'd prefer to play it on PS4 so anyone got anything they wanna trade for it?

The amount of dialogue they recorded and how loving goofy most of it is is just wonderful. There's a guard in Morocco that has a like three or four minute conversation with his wife on the phone where he is desperately trying to diffuse an argument and failing.

Red Bones posted:Mark of the Ninja is a super fun game to play but imo they should have done something different with the artstyle because all of the characters have a really saturday morning kids cartoon vibe to them (I'm pretty sure its because the art director also did the designs for that Star Wars: Clone Wars tv show years and years ago) which doesn't really mesh well with the level of violence in the game. Like you're killing these soldiers and dropping their corpses in front of other soldiers and they all look like they could be Kim Possible's dad, and likewise the guy you're playing is very kinda clean-cut kids show hero for a fella that's killing people and not "defeating" them or sending them to the "dark zone". I had no idea before I started reading it how Usagi Yojimbo was going to reconcile the funny animals with all the violence but it works surprisingly well, in my opinion. Haven't played MotN, but such a thing is possible.

I found the Metroidvania aspects of the previous games kinda lacking. I am on the same page and found the new Shantae to be fine and prefer it as a more regular platformer. I didn't go in expecting it to be amazing or life changing, but it executes pretty well on what it intends to do. Only real complaints I'd lodge are the same as for every Shantae game: the actual fighting is pretty lame and there are some kinda useless powers. Also grabbing onto ropes or rings continues to be my bane. I look forward to how the alternate costumes and characters change things up. chumbler fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Dec 10, 2016 |

I'm not a big shantae fan though . Like I can't point to anything and be like 'this is what I don't like" and I can point to a bit and be like 'I like this' but the games just won't click for me.

Like, I enjoy the Shantae games but they're aggressively mediocre, as far as the gameplay goes. So yeah, Backtracking Intensifies and all that. It's like, did you enjoy playing that platformer stage once? Well here play it 2-3 more times now. They try to keep it a little fresh by adding new enemies, changing enemy patterns, and you explore some new areas but ... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mouse transformation is not quite a new low for the series but drat if it isn't close.

Played Ori and loved it! Wanted to play Rabi Ribi but the drat thing crashed horribly so I refunded it, tried it again a month later and still crashed horribly so I refunded it again. Wonder if it works now and if VALVe would look askance at a third refund if it doesn't  (e) welp guess I didn't refund it last time like I thought I did, I swear my memory's getting spottier. But it doesn't crash, so I can try that instead! Yay! Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Dec 10, 2016 |
