NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:

VideoGames posted:

Played some more of the new Kirby last night. The shine has worn off and I do not think it is very good.

No stamina bar so you can spam moves, small ability choice, some hats look so bad it is like they copy and pasted using MS Paint, janky movement where you miss everything, overly generous time limits on the challenges so you can beat them with your eyes closed.

Shame.

Historians will quote this post when talking about the great turning point in human history

I've been really struggling to get through cold steel 4, and cold steel in general, it just doesnt have the magic of TITS imo

the loss of hand-drawn portraits in the first game, and Hatsuu on loc in the third, played a big part, but CS4 in particular has almost all of the same problems that MGS4 did; you can pretty much find/replace "nanomachines" with "the curse"

after almost two actual decades' worth of buildup and hanging plot points to resolve, it is...a video game

...and Kirby apparently has a great 3D engine that my depth perception issues do not interfere with. I am hitting things with my abilities, landing where I jumped.

You may have already seen this but the hit detection in the game is incredibly generous (in a very good and pleasant way).

There used to be a regular monthly 500+ LAN party in Sydney many years ago called SGL - Sydney Gamers League

One month we're unpacking my car and we've gone back for all the CRTs that are in my boot, and one of my mates has a newish 21" monitor that's just heavy as poo poo.
Picks it up.
Foot hits the curb.
Drops it.

We only hung around for a few hours that day, cause we all collectively felt bad he couldn't play anything (and had to go buy a new monitor)

I genuinely feel that the storyline in TITS is tighter, funnier, with more believable and enjoyable characters, and with far far fewer anime tropes than the shitloads that happen in the cold steel series

my principles issue with cold steel is a storyline that's drawn out like you're on a torture rack, constant fights where you win, but somehow they're still far stronger than you, and you have to get bailed out by the real heroes

I'm told by a friend that cold steel 4's the one where you FINALLY start taking scalps, but I've not reached that point yet

I'm also hopeful to get to play Estelle and crew again, but I'm hesitant to see what they've done to winner of "best girl" ten years running, between the two series

you do get to actually beat bad guys, with names even, but the curse usually makes it dumb

Estelle is still good but doesn't get a whole lot of spotlight, what with the total cast size of 5,000
