BEat Bloodstained and I think I've played about as much as I'm going to (I have 100% map, creatures, shards and side quests complete and anything passed that is gonna be a horrendous grind). It was quite good though also really didn't do anything you wouldn't expect. It's an Igavania. It's fun. The good Plays very well Insane amount of abilities and weapons, some of which are very fun Can be really pretty sometimes Fantastic music Great movement abilities and in general exploring is really fun The right stick abilities are surprisingly great Lot of stuff to do with some cool Easter eggs By the end of the game you feel like a god that can just rip apart anything in the game, which I always love. The Bad Uneven difficulty Grindy systems Pacing does not reach a happy medium between railroading and letting you just wander. Too often there was only one place to go with no indication of where to go next other than a shop hint. Key abilities never felt like they opened up enough Some useless abilities (almost all the R1 abilities especially) and also some ones you almost never have a good reason not to use. Uninspired sidequests Didn't love the way whips felt The mixed: The story is just sort of there, as is most of the voice acting. The voices in general were not as bad as I feared but some of them could get really annoying. Enemy design is all over the place, with the main goal often being to be legally distinct from Castlevania enemies) Buggy but I also never encountered anything too bad. Which there was more character dressup customization but what was there was still fun. So overall it was pretty great. It's hard to compare it to the other Bloodstained game because while that was a delightful surprise, this was almost exactly what I expected. axelblaze fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Jul 4, 2019 |

The ad is weird because it just seems to be trying to sell the Switch again but with less features. Like it shows off all these things it can do that are the things that a normal Switch can do, but they don't want to just say "it's worse and can't play all Switch games but it's cheaper" so they kind of dance around it

I said come in! posted:Nintendo missed an opportunity to call it Lite Switch. $100 off is about the only thing making this worth while. I'm just glad it's not a hardware upgrade, I feel like that would have been massively annoying. It may happen later down the road but for now we are safe. If every hardware upgrade they've made is any indication, it will effect like 10 games, max.

Tales of Woe posted:most 'metroidvanias' are more castlevania than metroid Yeah. This. Metroid is the older game but I think the fact that like 6 Castlevanias came out in a row did a ton more to establish the genre and because of that most of them really only take the things from Metroid that SotN took from Metroid. If we're being honest the genre should be named after Zelda anyways (that's the earliest exploration based game where progress is gated by items that give you new abilities that I know of anyways).

Gripweed posted:Which only supports my point. Even the origin of the term was based in the fact that Metroid was the source of the genre, and Castlevania was simply incorporating Metroid elements. Listen, if they wanted the genre named after it, maybe Nintendo should have actually made Metroid games

gently caress it, call them Jet Setters (and let Jet Set Radio be in the genre just to avoid confusion)

Didn't really want to wake up to find out we live in a world where people are thirsty as hell for one of the concentration camp guards. I'm not surprised but it's just depressing.

The firebar Mario Maker level that's been going around really isn't even that insane of a level compared to how hard those get. Like I certainly couldn't beat it but there are so many Super Expert and romhack levels that make that seem like nothing.

There are a ton of ways a Diablo like game can go very wrong so I just sort of want something more than first impressions because really with things like that it becomes about how long it can keep mashing through crowds fun. This is a series that has taken a long break, is being handled by new people with a much more interfering IP holder so I don't think it's really unreasonable to want to wait for some better impressions

Listen, if the character can't attack enemies with a hoard of squirrels, it's not Squirrel Girl. Makoto just has tonfas and underboob Bonus points if the character can surf around on the squirrels.

They are starting the actual game against the Magnet School kids now Plot lines take forever in even the best of comics. It's hard to tell a story in that medium, especially when there's pressure to make every strip work without context
