I'd be happy with one the same style as Dissidia Duodecim. Just....don't do the forced team thing or put it on mobile devices.

The one that annoyed me was Psychonauts 2.

There's one level where you can get ALOT of flavour text by connecting thoughts, but if you take too long, the game just tells you the answer on which thoughts to connect. It will literally INTERRUPT the flavour text to backseat you.

Don't need to be so hostile just cause I bring it up. Yeesh.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 1d

uh, unfortunately not. I actually have a hard time falling asleep to begin with and "knowing I have to wake-up early the next day" can also just prevent me from getting to sleep so thats fun.

Uh, get plushies. They'll help i'm sure!

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 1d

Time to learn that staying in bed and oversleeping also leads to being tired. Good luck

Even more proof that bsky are quite literally suppressing people they don't like.

But his name doesn't start with V

Would that make it the "AV Club?"

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 4d

make a plan to jinx your next plan and then you won't

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 5d

One that comes to mind is a Fighting game video (I believe its by sugarpunch) about how Nerfing characters feels worse than buffing them. People interpreted it as "THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD ALWAYS BUFF AND NEVER NERF" when that statement is never once said in the video itself.

I can give plenty of examples of games people think are bad that I can use as a *good* example of something. Mighty no. 9 introduces more ways for Beck to interact with bosses, adding more character, and Balan Wonderworld's bosses actually have a cool set-up that encourages experimenting

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 5d

Art is so flexible that just about anything you can think of that might be a 'hard rule' to be 'objectively good' can or has likely been subverted to show it's not true.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 6d

The one that drives me up the wall is Astral Chain. They constantly tell YOU what YOU are feeling all while the protagonist just stands there plain-faced

No, I didn't break the rules because "I'm so desperate to catch Jena;" I did that cause this is a video game and its how I progress the game.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah. To me, breaking the mold and trying different things is how you move things forward to begin with. I hate when people complain something isn't like what they're used to therefore its bad, or wish something played more like what they're familiar with instead of adjusting to it.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 7d

wait, do people really say "the protag must be silent so the player can relate to them"? Because nothing makes me relate to the protagonist LESS than making them silent. It just reminds me i'm playing a video game because the character I'm playing never reacts to anything.

Hazards can refer to enemies or stage hazards too so it still applies. Actually, come to think of it, 'hazards' is even broad enough that it apply to games without enemies too.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 7d

Better word might be "Hazards" rather than "Enemies."

The example that comes to mind is Mighty no. 9; I think it has some issues with how specific hazards are placed but enemies aren't usually the problem. If anything, the enemies are placed well enough to get you to use your weapons smartly

wait, whats Northsky and Blacksky?

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 8d

Does this mean you also get joy when you see instruments animated correctly?

Reversed for me. I would far rather grind than wander around aimlessly cause I don't know where to go.

Yes I play Disgaea, how did you know?

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 9d

sooo I've seen like 3 episodes of the Live action Adaptation and of the anime....isn't the government literally one of the main villains of the setting?

cause you know....pirates?

Pirating is illegal?

The trick is to just find a section where you can just tank through an area and take damage then heal up repeatedly without caring.

You weren't gonna use em anyway so least have fun with em.

Bladebrent @bladebrent.bsky.social · 12d

Or Mystical Ninja 64 where your reward is a hookshot. Close enough.

Welp he died.
