I think the series I always felt bad about not playing more of are Kirby/Castlevania/Mega Man. I have played some of them (Kirby Canvas Curse/Mega Man 1/2/3/9/the DS Castlevania with Soma) but it feels like I've missed out

That's the only good mega man games except X so you're fine there

It starts great but devolves into woefully unfinished/empty land masses and is full of bad phone game mechanics that gate progress

Yeah it's fine...definitely the lowest tier of the major JRPG releases this year. Well I haven't played DQXI yet but my understanding is it's not even close. NNK2 is charming for a bit and has wonderful art direction but the combat is too loose and simple to be fun for the length of the game and the kingdom building has no creativity, it's just a mobile game they put in to gate progress

I only have one cause I'm not using a guide and while some exploration is cool and good I'm not gonna have fun if I spend hours combing the overworld every time I get a new item

I'm pretty happy with my solution of savestating the combat-heavy sections tbh

e: that said if you just tell me that lttp is an overworld exploration game with occasional forays into dungeons I'd honestly believe it and re-evaluate my priorities

link to the past has i think the most optional items of any zelda besides majora's mask (if you count the masks), including one that is optional up until the boss of the final dungeon of the dark world

Exploring the overworld in LttP is one of my favorite things to do in any video game. Just enough is available at the start and run dead end entices me to explore it asap. Everytime I play the game I run around the overworld between each dungeon to see what I can access with my new item.

Combining BotW and LttP would result in the greatest overworld.

I hate when this happens. I got spoiled on a couple GoW twists that way a second after the game went live and it was annoying because the game is very easily spoiled.

It's interesting that the series has been very successful leaning into the overworld with Breath of the Wild while the two games closest to "Oops, All Dungeons" (SkySword and Soul Train) were steaming turds

Either I'm an old man with old man reflexes now or y'all are pulling my leg on lttp being easy as a kid because this game is kicking my rear end

everything in the dark world does at least 2-3 hearts of damage so suddenly I have less effective hp than I've ever had and also the enemies are way tougher to avoid. The first half of the palace of darkness was fine but the second half is a combat gauntlet where every room has the oh-so-fun darkness mechanic and I just started savestating after I got tired of making the trek back to where I died, again

Ya know I would say you are an old man, but I had the advantage as a kid because my cousin played LTTP and I ended up learning from him where all the goodies were so that's why Dark World etc wasn't too difficult at the time for me.

edit: Also wait is Darksiders 3 nearly out?

Goddamn it. Me and my unemployment.

There's a very slight bass loop late in the song that is either a drum machine or controlled by something by her feet. You can see her lean down to do something down there at one point.

Also fun fact, one of the Xiu Xiu albums was made using game boy sound effects and Jamie Stewart is a goon
