You can swap between the free movement and regular combat so I think it's just a visual thing.

There needs to be a game with the core gameplay (especially including feel of the weapons) of Monster Hunter but without the obtuseness of goddamn everything else in that game I wanted to get Toukiden 2 but from the demo at least the weapons are just too fast and weightless, just like it was for God Eater

Seems like that little idiot fucker would have less trouble if he didn't wrap the controller cable around himself a dozen times. Shovel Knight only banks on nostalgia as far as the 8-bit aesthetic, its selling point wasn't being lovely Megaman or N64 Platformer Reskin.

I just started playing Skyrim. The last Elder Scrolls game I played, it was a good idea to always be jumping in order to level up your jump skill. Does Skyrim still do that?

I dunno, it seems a bit like splitting hairs to try and say that Shovel Knight wasn't intending its 8-bit Megaman/Ducktales platformer stylings to be a big selling point, gameplay included, it's just that Yacht Club also made a really good game to go with it instead of simply checking out once the art was done. Shovel Knight was their first game and while it's easy to say now with the benefit of hindsight that it was worth the asking price there probably wasn't any more way of knowing ahead of time that it would turn out to be decent than people had with Mighty No. 9 until after it started to come to light that oh wait, this actually looks terrible.

I'd say it might have been a little too easy compared to Monster Hunter and also it's lacking the multiplayer but it checks a lot of the other boxes well - slow movement, no targetting, big dangerous monsters that can kill you in 2-3 hits. God Eater sucked. I really wanted to like it because I liked the aesthetic and I was playing with a couple goon friends but it did not click for me at all like MonHun did.

The character creation in Skyrim is something else. It took me awhile to make a character who looked reasonably human. It was like a puzzle, getting the right neck skintone and eye depth to not end up with a hosed up monster lady

Quest For Glory II posted:I think the difference is that Shovel Knight actually sent out alphas to streamers and tastemakers when the Kickstarter was live (it got a huge signal boost from game grumps for example). Mighty No 9 was just like "uh heres footage from an alpha that we spent an hour on. PSYCHE the actual game is entirely different" These are all extremely good points, if somewhat orthogonal to the argument that Shovel Knight isn't trading in on nostalgia because it is, it's just that nostalgia isn't all it's got in the tank for all those reasons you said which I agree with, especially the bit about what happens when people used to working in a more traditional environment go to the crowdfunding well. At least Bloodstained seems to be doing okay for itself.

I spent the past four hours sinking my teeth into this game that I discovered through YouTube: Battle Brothers. I'd describe it as a mix of XCOM's tactical squad combat (though slightly deeper), Mount and Blade Warband's grand campaign (running around towns, doing quests, assembling a mercenary force), and inventory management. So if that sounds like your kind of thing you should check it out, it's apparently been in early access for a while but it's out now.

Welp, just cleared Rogue Dawn. It's really impressive how much work went into this game to turn Metroid into what feels like it could've been a real NES sequel to the game. Unfortunately the beautiful graphics and tight controls are marred by some pretty obnoxious design. There are tons of parts where the 'exploration' is "haha, you went down the wrong path, this is an empty dead end, now you have to backtrack!". To make matters worse, there are tons of parts where the game uses map looping, both as shortcuts to let you exit a zone quickly and as ways to punish you for messing up an exploration or platforming challenge. This makes large sections of the game feel like that one castle in Super Mario Bros where it loops you back a screen if you don't take the exact right path. Despite adding a map to aid navigation, these design decisions and a general lack of intuitive level design made it very easy to get stuck or lost. But on the plus side, the world does feel truly open, and you can complete most of the challenges and get many of the power-ups in any order you feel like. Sequence breaking is also possible by design, and some of it relies on exploiting glitches. A lot of the hidden missile upgrades and energy tanks are satisfyingly tricky to get, although some of the platforming the game wants you to do reach a few of them is maddeningly difficult. Despite the awfulness of the premise, the story in-game is told pretty well and is largely inoffensive. In fact, if you stop thinking of the main character as Samus' secret sister and just some other bounty hunter willing to work for the Space Pirates, I'd even say the story's decent. Much like the original Metroid, there aren't that many bosses, and they're not very fun to fight. Two of them constantly shoot stuff that can block your shots, and this is exacerbated by the fact that if you hit those things with the ice beam, they'll just hover there, blocking your shots until they unfreeze. The last boss is much better, as is the obligatory self-destruct escape sequence. For all my complaints and nitpicks, the game is technically stunning for something that can actually run on an NES. The sprite work is beautiful, the environments feel distinct and alien, the combat is largely satisfying, and the incredibly important sense of freedom is present throughout, no matter how stuck you get. Sure, this is no AM2R, but if you're craving a Metroid game, you could do a lot worse. G4F3

Fallout 4 shipped more copies in one day than Final Fantasy 7 sold in its lifetime while having a lower headcount for its core team than what Square had for the development of FF7 in 1997. Either this engine works miracles or Todd Howard has the Midas touch. Sakurazuka posted:Given that they seem like almost entirely different games I wonder if the 3DS version will go for a more traditional scheme and the PS4 one will have an updated one. It's similar to Level 5's Ni no Kuni in that the story is the same but the gameplay and presentation is different. This might be the last Dragon Quest by the core team at Armor Project. They're either nearing retirement or a few years past the average age of death for a Japanese man. So this might be their last chance to experiment.
