Clicking that for me has the same effect as clicking anywhere else in the image- it expands to the current width of the table and no further. I do remember that it used to be different but at some point a while ago that stopped happening.

While the gameplay is very generic in Lufia: The Fortress of Doom I do like the characters a lot, like the Princess who just goes "gently caress it" and tells the town that the Hope Ruby is bullshit that's bilking them out of money as a tax and spurs the town on to do better. It seems there is a running theme of "Princesses are just the best" so far. Also I've finally got Stronger, so Lufia can heal worth a drat.

Holy poo poo the cel-shaded 'vintage' costume in Spiderman on PS4 is beautiful. I love how the game lets you change costumes and use the perks of other costumes; not enough games do this so you end up with everyone looking identical unless you deliberately gimp your character. Only trouble is I now wish the entire game looked like a cartoon. And didn't have these awful stealth sequences.

Smash Bros Ultimate is really good, y'all! There's a whole bunch of cute little touches in it, we're gonna be here a while. But to start with the smaller stuff that I've already noticed... -I'm not sure if it's random or controlled by something, but occasionally Mario's up-B will spawn purple coins from Mario Odyssey instead of the regular yellow. -Ness' particle effects for his special moves now resemble the weird abstract shapes that made up PSI attacks in Earthbound. I haven't been able to check Lucas yet, he might have the same. -Everyone's Classic mode is now a specific lineup for them, and is usually pretty referential. Sonic's is entirely references to his dumb buttrock anthems; Ryu's and Ken's are both entirely comprised of stamina matches. -Spirits, which are the game's equipment customization, are done by having gimmick fights against someone representative of the more esoteric character you're trying to get the spirit of. So far, my highlight has been Skull Man, from Mega Man; a white Samus, that reflects every single projectile you fire at her. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 10:04 on Dec 7, 2018 |

Even the way the music works in the game is great. -You can manually pick a song for the fight instead of letting it be random -Songs have small colored tabs in the corner to indicate what kind of music it is, normal is left blank, a old remix is blue, new ones are pink. -You can just buy new songs with the coins you earn -They set the tendency for the new gangplank galleon remix to play at maximum.

The Codec conversations in Brawl were fun, and it's too bad they didn't add new ones for Ultimate. Some of them reference you playing Brawl still. They did add some Palutena's Guidance conversations from the WiiU Kid Icarus stage though and updated some for other characters, noting for example that BotW Link. I liked a bit where they talk about how most Pokémon end up just sitting in balls in storage indefinitely.

I'd like to see a Paradox-style grand strategy game that instead of constant popups that you enable/disable, just has a 'ticker' running along the bottom of the screen. The stuff in the screenshot above is kind of OK, but it would be great to just have some colour-coded 'cards' running along the bottom (perhaps in multiple tickers) giving you the opportunity to interact with them if you want, or otherwise just casually read them as you wait for things to happen, without having to manually close stuff - if you miss your chance to care, it scrolls off. e: Stellaris puts a bunch of stuff at the top of the screen but it's still not really clear wtf is going on and you gotta mouse over etc. bewilderment has a new favorite as of 01:52 on Dec 8, 2018 |

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise Okay, the game's starting to pull some stuff with the bosses now. First was the Thouzer fight where more than half the time your attacks just bounce off of him because his organs are reversed and your technique doesn't work if people have abnormalities that wild and now the first part of the Jagi fight pulls the God of War 2018 thing where you can't move and you're in person dodging his attacks while rotating around to keep him in view. Thankfully his health is way lower in this section so it doesn't wear out its welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-IG7hjidM&t=147s

I gotta say, the head-explodey death animations are waaaaay more disturbing in the game than I remember the anime being. Like, I'm genuinely uncomfortable. So I guess that's a well-done little thing?

There really is some underappreciated genius to Smash Bros Ultimate gating almost the entire cast as effectively randomly-distributed unlockables. There's about 75 characters in the lineup not including DLC, that's something so big that you will forget people, but the fact that you're steadily unlocking them (and it's effectively impossible to beeline for your favorites) means you have to acknowledge them, one by one. You are forced, by design, to consider every single character and what they bring to you. The roster was so overwhelming that I actually straight-up forgot my main, especially because they didn't actually get any attention in pre-release and it'd been years since I played Smash last. It took until I unlocked them and subsequently took to some online matches to remember how devastating I can be when playing as R.O.B., and I think if they were unlocked from the start I never would have.

Honestly my favorite thing in Smash is that they added a little medal on the portrait of every character you beat a mode with on the character select screen, so you don’t have to keep track on your own or check a separate screen anymore.

The concepts behind the spirit fights are great. Story-wise, they're the spirits of those characters being forced to possess a copy of one of the main fighters and battle against you, so it's effectively, what would that spirit be doing for a battle? Spoilers about the themes of the themed fights, not about any story aspects: For example, there's a Pushmo fight where he's controlling Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff almost entirely uses grabs and throws, and when damaged enough, she gets a final smash. Jigglypuff's final smash is growing huge and pushing people off the stage. There's also a Blanka fight, which is represented by a green Donkey Kong with a screw attack item. Vega is a Meta Knight with short hops. Revolver Ocelot is a Fox with guns constantly appearing on the stage. Wriggler is a yellow Yoshi who gets more powerful after taking some damage, and the stage gets covered in Lip's Stick (item that puts damaging flowers on people's heads). Some developers had fun with these things.

So I guess that's a well-done little thing? Yeah, you're getting a much more concentrated version of it, the game isn't like that all the time. Jagi's whole deal is that he hates Kenshiro for being chosen as the successor for their martial art style and he fought him years back and lost and Kenshiro deformed him as you can see in that video. I can't remember if he was trying to kill Kenshiro then or not. Jagi's condition being worse than most people's and it being CGI means it looks much brutal than most of the in game ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE6_yziZLr0
