All anime is Dragon Ball, really. Even the series ostensibly about playing basketball or riding bikes just throw their hands in the air and call out everybody's power level so all encounters can be reduced to comparing numbers on a card

...which is not unlike real sports. I guess everything is Dragon Ball

And before Dragon Ball everything used to be Fist of the North Star. Even Jojo used to be Fist of the North Star.

the new fire emblem is pretty good so far and i feel like that says a lot because easily 60-70% of fire emblem games are nearly unplayable trash

You know, I found the newest NEWEST ones fairly procedural and mind numbing but ditto on the older games, I swear the core devs live in a literal basement only playing their own games and dont have any idea about the world around them (maybe not their fault idk.)

:holymoley: I did not know that, that's great.

Also pretty awesome are some of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. Some are pretty similar, others...not so much.

e: considering they got Fire Man as "a box that's on fire" and Wood Man as "a robot but made of wood" you'd think they'd have gotten Mega Man as "a blue robot child" but welp

Its very complete as a space exploration game now but space exploration is remarkably boring when everything is procgen and it largely holds no secrets.

I would say on release it was worth about 2 hours of interesting gameplay

Now it's more like 15

I feel like that’s probably what real space exploration is going to be like once we have the means to get close to exoplanets. Just a lot of cataloguing and spending a couple hours max at each one.

i definitely found 'secrets' when i played at release, like a weird structure at the bottom of a lake that had a thing i had just barely enough translation words to understand was about the frog guys being psycho genocidal warmongers in the recent past

i haven't played since any of the updates but i kinda liked vanilla NMS, it was chill AF and sometimes you want to just dashjump around a planet with a weird green sky for a while. honestly with each update they add i keep thinkin' i should go back and try it again, it looks cooler, but idk...just don't have that kind of 'sit and chill' time anymore and when i do i tend to use it painting tiny space barbies while binging twenty year old television

What made it good in the beginning? I tried it only after release and it sucked something fierce. Genuinely intrested how anything fun could evolve into that.

it was more open, had cooler stuff to find, had ways to mine a bunch of ores and stuff that didn't take hours of busywork, had a combat system less weirdly based on poking things and jumping backwards or whatever the hell they ended up with, it's honestly a pretty long list. basically every update made it less fun to play.

When I saw it in Early Access, Starbound just looked like Terraria with a sci-fi angle, and the procedurally-generated planets looked great, but it sounds like they started adding in more and more poo poo to differentiate it.

I was fine with Terraria in Space with Random Planets, damnit :(

I really liked the warp drive, where all the loading and biome generation happened in the background with the gameplay unbroken in the ship. Made the world feel way bigger.

Don't like my posts? Say why, have a discussion or just ignore them. Being an rear end in a top hat doesn't really accomplish anything besides make yourself feel better. Like it isn't going to stop me from pointing out things I perceive as flaws in video games. If I was wrong, then I was wrong, I don't really care enough to attempt to find the post I'm remembering.

Problem is that they actually got worse as early access went on, somehow making the game more grindy and introducing a shitload of garbage no one wanted and redoing all the fluff to somehow be even more generic than what they started with, probably not helping that pretty much all the competent devs left rather than move to London.

Oh poo poo I misinterpreted what someone said! Whelp golly guess you should be hostile towards me. You got me. I probably butcher English (I'm a native speaker so no excuse there) in the majority of posts and suggests no one use me as an example of proper writing. Since it's clear you don't have any particular complaint towards my posts and just the dull people don't like you so I don't like you feeling towards me I'm done talking to you. I'm gonna continue to talk about video games because I like to do that and dislike when things get sidetracked.

Just bought Dicey Dungeons I hope it's good.

Not unpopular, but I am replaying FF9 for the first time in years and it is so loving endearing. :3:

I love that the battle system is actually integrated with the story, especially how characters that are Going Through Some poo poo don't celebrate at the end of battles.

Shame about the sloth-pace of the battle system though.
