Poll of the Day » I just started Earthbound...
Me first time. Kinda a wacky game so far.
They/Them not "he". Ace/Non-Binary. Ace the Space Ninja from Luminous Avenger iX2. Ikki defender, #1 Mega Man 2 loather.

I played it for the first time about a year ago and thought it felt very dated. The inventory and battle system could definitely use some updated quality of life improvements. Theres also a puzzle of sorts that involves this waterfall that I wont spoil but felt like it was very pointless and not a good one.
i didn't hate the waterfall puzzle (the game is quirky and weird enough that i feel like it kind of suits it) but i'm also really glad that that no other game i've played has tried to copy it. the inventory issue wouldn't be so bad if at least one of the characters wasn't completely reliant on bag space.

i get the critiques though. it's flawed but enjoyable and the world is really fun to explore.

ive tried playing it a few times on NSO but I usually get bored and put it down. Its a neat game but somethings off about it like it just gets too repetitive and I lose interest
I really want to like it but there are too many tedious things about it
"I, Garland, will knock you all down!"
what does it mean when the game has an ominous message pop up when you get to the concert and the game crashes?

I enjoyed it a lot, but I used a guide. The only complaint I'm partially on-board with is the inventory, but I don't find it that annoying since I grew up playing games like Pokemon. It wasn't a hard game so the inventory management didn't annoy me as much as some people. If you otherwise enjoy the game for its uniqueness but don't like those aspects, definitely check out Mother 3. It ditches the outdated stuff and plays a lot more modern, while still having a super interesting/weird plot.

I am using a guide on the game. I may play the first game on the NES after this. The inventory reminds me more of Golden Sun's. Just wish I could stack multiples of the same item.

Totally, it is pretty silly and is a major limit to healing items.

There're some ROM hacks to explore if you want to make it a bit more approachable, since it is very much an NES game.

That's underselling it.

good taste

Earthbound is a game that I find myself returning to more and more as the years go by - Ive probably replayed it 4 times over the last 8 years. Where are you at so far, TC?
