I refunded it when it first came out on EA, it seemed to double down on the punitive aspect where things get harder if you're a scrub, but less challenging if you're good, and not in the sense that better players have an easier time but that better players get the easier and weaker versions of everything, even though they're the ones who could use an additional challenge. Quite possible they redesigned it since then though.

Whizzing Wizard posted:Glad to hear Rogue Legacy 2 is good, I really liked the first one and felt like no one talked about the sequel in Early Access Yeah it really is weird how little buzz it's been getting for a game that's sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. I think a lot of is, like I said, it's hard to put into words exactly *why* it's better than the first because while there are a ton of improvements, they're all pretty incremental. But yeah right now it's the game that I feel the strongest draw to go back to, by far.

Quite possible they redesigned it since then though. Hmm I'm trying to think if I've felt this...to me it has the same difficulty pacing as the first. It's quite linear for a rogue-like but I don't dislike that. If anything I like knowing where to go, games like Dead Cells can be frustrating to get started for me because I feel like there's just no guidance at all in terms of how I should be progressing through.

Diminishing returns on sequels Spelunky 2 was good but there's not much to talk about unless you're already hyperfocused on that game (Also still disappointed that UFO50 was delayed for it)

Cool Final Fantasy moment: When the main cast has magic amnesia except for one guy who doesn't say anything because he thinks everyone just didn't like him and was too embarrassed to say anything.

Giving up on Banjo Kazooie, the later levels are just too frustrating, swimming is horrible, all the enemies get super annoying and are hard to hit. But I got a lot of fun out of the first half of the game, I’m glad it was part of a subscription and not something I individually paid for.

BK gets a permanent spot in my top 10, but the swimming does suck. The only levels I just avoid if possible, or muscle through if going for everything, are the two mainly-water ones. To be fair, no third person game of that era had good swimming, and also I don't think ever, can't think of a third-person game with a solution to point to for everyone to emulate. The good swimming games are in first-person, same with moving in no-gravity or orbital situations. An Outer Wilds and Subnautica couldn't work in third person.

idk if 2D counts but Rayman Origins/Legends and DKC Tropical Freeze have fun swimming I guess because your freedom of movement underwater feels just as fluid as on land for 3D the Zora swimming in Majora's Mask is p good

The only real tough level in Banjo-Kazooie is Rusty Bucket Bay and that's mostly cause of the loving engine room. For the rest of the back end Mad Monster Mansion is one of the best levels in the game and Click Clock Wood is a bit too sprawling but the gimmick is incredible. It's well worth pushing through to get to the final showdown because Grunty's Furnace Fun is one of the best climaxes in all of gaming

Thinking about ffix’s “stealing” economy, where bosses will always carry valuable equipment you won’t be able to purchase at a store until a few hours later, except the steal rate is like 3% so actually acquiring the equipment is very tedious. Is it good design? No one can say for certain

Is it good design? No one can say for certain I struggle to think of a good video game stealing economy. It's practically always the optimal thing to do, and it's just a matter of how much bullshit you're willing to put up with to do it. Maybe something like FFX, where the first steal always succeeds and it also kills machina enemies.

It's an ice-level on the surface, but there are actually a bunch of flying jiggies and things and I always liked when they let me fly around. I also wanna say it's the highest you can get in the game and jump off from. Click Clock Wood also a favourite, really liked continuing the individual stories and jiggies through the season. Mansion also owns and pumpkin one of the funniest/cutest transformations.

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass did a pretty good job of stealing too, but that's mostly because a lot of enemies have something to steal that affects how they fight. Like you can steal a robot's voice box to stop them from calling for help, or steal the Knives from Johnny Knives to turn him into Johnny No-Knives.

you know what time it is folks 1. Click Clock Wood 2. Rusty Bucket Bay 3. Clanker's Cavern 4. Freezeezy Peak 5. Bubblegloop Swamp 6. Treasure Trove Cove 7. Gobi's Valley 8. Mad Monster Mansion 9. Mumbo's Mountain that's for main level themes, there's a bunch of smaller/boss themes that are awesome on their own right like Final Battle, the Mutie-Snippets, King Sandybutt's Maze, Mr. Vile's Game, etc.

I always like the ambience of water levels even when they suck to play. Jolly Roger bay and a whole lot of sunshine are very pleasant to be in, for example.
