You're touching the toilet doors, the stanky toilet paper, putting the seat down. Its gross. The toilet is a gross place. Everything is covered in a fine mist of piss. Just take a few minutes away from the computer for once, it shouldn't be that difficult.

PN03 is so undercooked its code name as part of the Gamecube 5 of "Product Number 3" was its final title.

For the record its concept of being basically Resident Evil 4's positioning combat built out to a whole game is neat, and I wanted to like it, but it really is not good and punishingly difficult because its at its core an attempt to make Shmups in3d space

I dunno how to say this in a way that doesn't sound condescending but the fact is that bodily functions can differ depending on the body, and it can be stuff that people have no control over, or don't know the cause of so they don't know how to avoid the problems. For example, sometimes I get abdominal migraines and when that happens, I can expect to spend a significant amount of time on the can. Some people just have megadiarrhea or whatever and just want something to occupy their mind while their butt dry heaves. It's not great to think about, but it's also not something I'd go trying to shame people for. I dunno what Caesar Saladin is imagining I'm doing with my phone or which bathrooms I'm using but from the posting it reads like the expectation is I'm pulling out a phone for 30 minutes to play a game while taking a poo poo in a subway station's public stalls. I could be wrong, but if that was the intent, then lol and lmao

I've heard that the game is actually secretly a rhythm game, which is a problem in that it makes no effort to communicate this to the player.

My biggest problem with mobile gacha games is that besides pressing like an button and having a thing say you won or lost most don't seem to have actual gameplay.

I saw a friend play one of them and literally you just select a few characters and then hit the button to tell them to do a "mission" and then it just says if they won or lost. I couldn't see the actual game. It was just getting the anime pictures and pressing a button.

Everyone that plays then never seems to enjoy them, and it's not very pleasant to watch. And none of these people have money. But one did buy a lottery ticket on a lark once so I guess they deserve it.

You know how a couple pages back people were wondering what happened to rhythm games? That's where they went. Mobile rpgs are pretty terrible if you want to actually play a game, but mobile rhythm games are full of "gameplay" and "fun." wild.

When I poop, I turn off my phone and I sit with my back straight, my hands resting in my lap, and I stare at the stall door blankly for as long as necessary to finish the job. Once I’ve finished shaming God, I wash up and turn my phone back on.

Posters like you confuse me. You make incredibly boring insults in this thread and without outs for some kind of self-deprecation angle to make it purely light-hearted, but if that's questioned, then supposedly this is ~the video game shitposting thread~ and that kind of thing is just supposed to be there. However, if you're challenged in the slightest, you insinuate that people are taking things personally, and are talking about how it's kind of weird to focus on phone use while making GBS threads in this particular context because they are butthurt in their feefees. Just to set your mind at ease, I can assure you I'm fine on my end emotionally, but I remain perplexed regarding the thread. Could you clear it up for me? I'm just trying to understand the rules so I can play along. Are you bringing up the very recent death of Betty White and questioning my emotional state to suggest that I was too severe in my post, and using the very recent death of Betty White to show what lighthearted pokes are really about, or are you actually just as boring and thin-skinned as that would normally suggest?

Its sort of a rhythm game if theres no predictive beat. Like its up to you to organize enemies and bosses into manageable predictable chunks, but it absolutely can and needs to be done.

Its really hard to explain because everything you do in the game is extremely deliberately stiff but at first play it doesn't feel like it should. Honestly not on second or third play either, its really brutal on mistakes in a this is actually a problem kind of hard. Like Dark Souls is happy to fudge numbers in your favor in addition to healing and you have leveling to overcome difficulties but PN03 is a pure "get good" and "get perfect" kind of experience where loving up once can easily either instantly be a failure or chain cascade into death. Then its a redo all this again and the game is not snappy or quick or short enough per stage enough to encourage getting back to where you were.

So of course I decided I had to get good enough to beat the game.

It’s strange how Nintendo showed everyone how the schmup genre still had a place in the 3D era with Starfox 64 and then everyone just… didn’t. They all copied Mario and OoT to make other genres work in 3D (hell even today like 60% of new games are working on an OoT framework) but no one ever really copied it except I guess Panzer Dragoon which sucked. Even the more “arcadey” flyan’ an shootan’ games like Rogue Squadron never really tried to be a 2D schmup in 3D like Starfox did. And Starfox 64 was a big hit so I don’t understand why there was never a big movement to build on it. Hell even Nintendo has spent the last 20 years refusing to make a Starfox 64-2 despite everyone demanding it. Instead we get an Oot game about dinosaurs, a floaty unresponsive game that either refuses to do rail segments or makes us play a godawful third person shooter, a touch screen “tactics” game with no rail shooting, or a gyro game.

Panzer Dragoon 2 came out before Star Fox 64. Panzer Dragoon was one of the reasons to own a Saturn and a critical part of its success in Japan.

Star Fox 64's mechanics are all almost wholesale lifted from Panzer Dragoon and all the parts that aren't, which is what the blew out to make the rest of the Star Fox games to give the series its own independent identity, are very not good.

I think Star Fox has a problem where the actual playtime from start to credits is basically an hour, and while that was acceptable around up to the 64 bit era modern game developers- and reviewers- absolutely cannot accept that. It's like one of the Sonic problems, where they're obsessed with 'speed' as a buzzword to the detriment of actual gameplay design. So you end up with padding, gimmicks and filler, and also Nintendo proper didn't really make a Star Fox game for like 20 years as they licensed it out to Capcom and randoms.

It's one of the few cases where the shmup genre isn't literally just a 90s arcade game, but it still has a lot of the design elements of one because of the nature of the genre. It's probably a hard sell on suits when it can't guarantee 40 hours of gameplay for AAA budget and design values.
