I liked the idea of having multiple characters on hand, but the way it turned out I really only used one for the most of a match, especially in Brawl when the transformation times got longer. I'm far happier with each character having a full special set now.

I've seen a shot of a Galaga grabbing Fox. Not expecting it, but it would be great if that let you double up. Don't know if it means a Namco fighter, but Pacman could easily fit with those items as representing Namco arcade games. Motto fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Apr 10, 2014 |

But thankfully it isn't just a bunch of boring platforms randomly scattered around like NPC was. Paluenta's Temple looks more like three stages put together.

Rich Uncle Chet posted:So what was that Dark Pit noise about? I really hope he's not a playable fighter, since he's literally a palette swap of Pit. They didn't do a reveal for him, so I doubt he's a character. Best case scenario is that Pit's voice clips change when you switch him to his black outfit.

Chaltab posted:So where exactly is all the confusion over Samus' backstory coming from? It's like that thing about the Atari carts being buried in the landfill: sudden skepticism where previously there had been none. Long before I'd ever even played any of the Metroid games I knew Samus' origin. I don't remember when and how I learned it, probably Nintendo Power or something. The problem is that it's never actually referenced that much in the games, so I could easily see somebody just playing the games, not delving deeper than that and being completely baffled by the Ridley scene. What I find really odd is that Sakamoto packed O:M with scenes of Samus' flat monologues, but not one referenced her relationship with Ridley (other than calling him her nemesis). Evidently he expected to have an audience familiar with a comic that I'm not sure was ever officially translated.

TaurusOxford posted:That makes no sense either. The end of that manga (which overlaps the Metroid 1/M:ZM fight) has Samus not even being remotely scared of Ridley, beating the poo poo out of him, and then letting out a battlecry over his flaming corpse. Well, he also managed to contradict most other Metroid games, so that fits in with everything else he wrote for Other M. It's kind of amazing when you can't even write within the framework set up by a series as generally plot-light as Metroid.

Excels posted:Several good reasons why Square Enix needs to loving get rid of Motomu Toriyama and Tetsuya Nomura. They have run their course and they're starting to make some really bad garbage. In Toriyama's case it's even a little offensive. Nomura makes some really dumb character designs, but apart from that I don't think he has been responsible for anything worse than directing a series with hilariously nonsense plots. edit: Speaking of which, I'm kind of puzzled about his role in SE. Looking at his Wikipedia page, he had relatively small jobs for a while, then became main character designer, then suddenly got put in charge of Kingdom Hearts and now a mainline FF.

Even if that happened, it would be an iOS japan-only game so we would never play it anyway. edit: This isn't SE, but I just remembered that capcom is actually making an awful looking phone-only BoF right now and calling it a mainline entry.

Bicyclops posted:Yeah, the original NES Legend of Zelda is basically "do everything with all of your inventory on every screen until something actually works, meanwhile a crowd of almost invincible knights are going to kill you." I played it a bit ago, and the First Quest isn't that bad. I had quite a bit of fun with it. The 2nd Quest is where it gets silly.

I'm sure there are fine JRPGs being released...... somewhere for something..... I don't know they're not really my thing, but your examples are a bit poo poo if you want them to be truly "recent". Atlus RPGs like EO and most MegaTen games in general are pretty consistently good.

F. Lobot posted:It also used modern graphics and looked, sounded, and played nothing like a Genesis game. I think they missed the point of a retro sequel. I remember some people saying that DIMPs basically made the physics function similarly to how they did in Sonic Rush, but somehow forgot that those physics only worked because the game was built around boosting everywhere instead of momentum. They also thought a 2D game needed a homing attack for some reason. Motto fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Aug 16, 2014 |

Flytrap posted:5 years ago The thing with DIMPs is that they really did go south while Sonic Team got much better (then got bad again). People will argue on how fair the Rush games are, but from Advance to Rush Adventure they were making games you could understand people having a good time with. After that they just worked on making awful versions of Unleashed, Colors, and Generations for PS2, Wii, and handhelds as well as Sonic 4.

The T posted:Rush Adventure is my favorite portable Sonic game. I like it too, but making you grind for ship materials was a really bad move. It was a non-issue for me since I was already replaying those levels for better ranks and times, but there's really no point to collecting things for building and upgrading your boats other than padding the game. It's also a mechanic that punishes bad players that have already gotten punished with a bad stage rank with more grinding. edit: Cleretic posted:I don't think they 'went south' so much as 'remained consistent while Sonic Team got way better'. They made the Advance and Rush games when Sonic Team was busy being absolute garbage, but when Sonic Team figured out how to make good Sonic games again, suddenly DIMPS' 'pretty good if low-budget' looks pretty bad in comparison. I think Advance 1 and the Rush games still hold up as good titles, even after ST put out Colors and Generations. Their later output like Unleashed for the PS2 is just garbage. It managed to make the day stages the worse half of the game. And I didn't play their 3DS version of Generations, but for some stages they just straight-up reused the level layouts from the classic games, and I saw some original layouts where you spend time running in a straight line on flat, featureless terrain, even halfway into the game.

I think the biggest problem is that there was a really long period that they tried to hype a small download title for a ridiculously long time with a very slow trickle of information instead of just announcing it a month before release or something. I remember there being groups of Sonic spergs debating the physics of the game based on three seconds of teaser footage for months. Then they all exploded in fury when SEGA partnered with a hotel and made a Sonic 4 themed room, which had a wallpaper that looked like the first stage and featured boosters.

I'm mostly okay with this roster, but even as someone that loved KI:U, Dark Pit is a pretty lame choice, and it's silly that one game has bumped KI to 3 reps. Losing another original moveset stinks too, even though I never played the ICs.

A lot of Lucas' differences were in his standard moves though. I can see Ness getting PK Freeze, the one-hit PK fire, etc., but it still won't be the same.

Dark Pit is pretty lame as a choice, but considering that he's a literal clone of Pit but still has a separate slot somehow, I'm betting that he's not a clone. He probably has the same weight, speed, and up-B, but all his other moves are probably different KI:U weapons. I think three reps for KI is excessive, but this would work out in representing the series' mechanics: Pit is his KI:U version and has a few new weapons, but still represents aspects of the NES/GB games by mainly using his bow. Dark Pit is presumably all about the various other weapon types that Uprising introduced. Palutena uses the various power-ups you could customize yourself with.

THE loving MOON posted:Three, is over-representation for a game with a roster size that tops 50? I'm not going to get in a huff about a series being over-represented, especially since I really liked KI:U, but I personally thought that one new KI rep was enough, especially since Sakurai said he has no intention of making another KI game. Wonder how the people out there who were already having a fit about how biased Sakurai is after Palutena was revealed are taking this.

KamikazePotato posted:People can dislike Xenoblade or whatever, but I'm slightly annoyed by the elitist attitude some people are taking here. I've played a shitton of JRPGs from every generation and think Xenoblade is my favorite of the bunch, but apparently that's just because 'all I played this gen was FF13'? Yeah, I don't know what that attitude's about. I'm not one to say that Xenoblade is the best thing ever, but I liked it, and I've played and enjoyed plenty of generation 7 JRPGs along with XB (if you includes handhelds, console offerings were a lot less plentiful than in the previous console generations).

How many PS2 JRPGs were in the 100 hour range? Maybe it would take you that long to do all the crazy sidequest stuff in FFX or try to 100% a Tales game without a guide, but I can't recall anything that would take 100 hours for the average player just playing the game normally.

Xad posted:I wasn't too keen on it until I turned on the option for manual attacking. Even though it doesn't really make a difference damage-wise, I really like actually having control over when the character I'm playing as attacks, as opposed to the MMO-style "watch them attack things and you only control skills and movement." It made the combat way more fun for me. I don't think Xenoblade lets you make the autoattacks manual. You sure you're not thinking of The Last Story? edit: Mercury Crusader posted:Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne could run you about that long on your first playthrough, if you never played a SMT game before, and you die constantly to bosses. That's taking into account time lost due to game overs though. And demon fusing can add up more time if you get obsessive over it. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I haven't gotten around to Nocturne yet (have a PS2 copy of the game though), but I've spent plenty of time messing with fusion in the MegaTen games I've played on 3DS. I can imagine how it can be even more time consuming in the games where inherited skills are determined by rerolling over and over. Motto fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Aug 29, 2014 |
