games

its just not good.

I thought it was somewhat cute. Not a Zelda game obviously though.

It's equivalent to a lot of the modern friendslop games actually

oh, can we count the musogame Max

no.

tbh, I liked the FE one better anyway

Three Copes?

FE one was better

not three copes

i think its equally as sad that the last true 3d zeldfa was 2011, and the last true 2d zelda was 2013

I don't give a shit about all the random BotW NPCs

that one sucked

three copes has a god tier ost though

I just wanted to say three copes, I think it's funny

thats the only thing good about it

I've never played it

That is true Max

its ost is actually like

really

really

I've not played any muso game

good

i hate musou games

I played the non botw/totk zelda one, and both FE ones

I liked the first one I played

and then you can never enjoy one after that

they are fine, they are braindead games

The original FE Warriors is the only game someone has bought for me I've never played

that is all they are

I just don't know how you translate that into an interesting full game

after you spend a few hours fucking around enjoying one the first time

its a game of routing for the challenge stages

FE warriors was good, but i feel like the warriors/musou games might benefit from having more reliable allies and being able to set up your own battleplans on larger maps and such

mix it with some RTS elements maybe

Honestly, maybe making it a map game where you can zoom in and do warriors pvp battles or something

would make it less braindead

or maybe make it so you have to plan it out before the fight and can't change it afterwards, or swapping character between fronts

all at once

you know, some actual complexity

it only goes as far as telling them to go to a specific location

you can do it in FE warriors too iirc

they dont accomplish anything though except stopping a fort from getting capped for a couple extra minutes

they will still die

The problem is the AI is braindead, so it is actually just faster to rush over and do something yourself

even if its across the map

they hold out then you bring your broken fairy that can instantly heal a fort in one button press

ally AI is specifically designed to be braindead and named characters will legitimately die to nameless mobs

you tell the ally to go there so you can swap to them when they are there

My issue with musou games is that I don't like how the combat feels so floaty.

which is a big problem of the genre

I wish they wer more intentional, you don't have to have flashy games feels floaty or empty

I'm not saying soulslike combat11!!! but like DMC or Nier-like combat in a musou game

would be fun

just like... classic Action RPGs

but musou games you end up jsut button mashing and seeing enemies floatily get hit

they could keep the flashy screen wiping movesets but have another moveset you swap to that is better at fighting single targets like boss enemies

that is more like that

They could just make it combo focused, so that you have to combo correctly and properly without getting hit to maintain bigger aoes and flashing damage as you build a gauge or something With specials you use when youre getting overwhelemed or on boss targets

There is also just objectively broken ways to play those games

innovation hard

certain attack combos that are always better

so it usually is just doing the same thing over and over again

Koei is a weird company though, they like to have some really impressive elements in some of their games then will just backtrack it all in the next game

Saw a video titled "Super Mario RPG Shouldn’t Work (But It Does)" (didn't watch it (released this week)). There is no universe where a Mario anything doesn't work, even if just on paper. There's no "Platformer character doesn't translate properly to RPG on Paper". It's fucking Mario. People bought and played the game just because it had MARIO in the title and didn't read the rest of it. There is only one Mario game with MARIO in the title that should not or did not end up "working", and that's the game where MARIO is explicitly missing. And that game is called "Mario is Missing" by the way.

what I referenced but don't care for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_oFoqWyKxw&t=19s&pp=ygUuU3VwZXIgTWFyaW8gUlBHIFNob3VsZG7igJl0IFdvcmsgKEJ1dCBJdCBEb2VzKdIHCQmiCgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

I mean, the title is probably just clickbait and it's a normal review

Idea: Round up everybody who makes video game "video essays" like this and make them do a battle Royale fight to the death

the winner is thereafter permitted to be the sole producer of such content

yep I watched the first 2 minutes. It's 100% just a normal review.

This is my least favorite form of content

I AM GOING TO TELL YOU COMPLETELY OBVIOUS THINGS ABOUT THE GAME

THE GAME IS GOOD BECAUSE... IT IS GOOD

KILL YOURSELF

that's really mean of the review to tell me to kill myself

they''re telling you to kill yourself because you're watching the review

It's also a 25 minute review for a game released almost 3 decades ago.

There is nothing super interesting this video could do in 25 minutes

Mario is Missing is an instrumental part of the timeline
