the credits music was magical
mario kart 64 had a god-tier credits track as well

literally every superhero thing ever
infinity war was chock-full of people being too dumb to actually finish off thanos or his minions

way too much money

yes

subreddits have this weird thing where the communities only want a certain kind of content up and will delete or downvote posts they don't like
it's why you never see casual discussion of a fighting game and only just a bunch of boring clips of some pro player comboing a random noob on their stream

Is there even a jrpg that doesn't heavily recycle enemies?

the etrian odyssey series recolors random monsters a good amount but, at least in its modern entries, it's really good at making them fight differently
it has very good encounter design in general, making enemies serve different functions within their groups and synergizing with each other
it's not a problem to me that things are recolored as much as it's that all the enemies within a family more or less fight the same, and there are only so few enemy archetypes to go around

some gigantos have the token unique attack, yes, like brutal with its big laser thing
i'm not saying that there's literally no variety (because that would be dumb) but with the button mashiness and sluggish enemy ai, even the minor differences that do exist are moot
and, of course, there are indeed those numerous enemies that are straight-up recolored constantly with no difference besides stats

many giganto monsters are literally just gigantic versions of regular monsters
that's as fake variety as you can possibly fucking get

like, are you really fine just fighting the same like, fifteen or so enemies the entire game? do you somehow think that it's acceptable that a series has and continues to do that? do you just not expect anything better?

yes, canceling is a thing you can do and it's super easy for infinite comboing shit as a goddamn mage with your basic attack
it's pretty dumb and there should be a more reasonable design to combos and combat

It's a nice touch and other games are praised for this, why doesn't Vesperia deserve praise as well.

who the hell praises the other games in the series for their weak level design? backtracking for random secrets is something this series is infamous for, more than anything

There are lots of small variations on certain animals in the real world, why shouldn't it be allowed in games? You're nitpicking and bitching to bitch honestly.

the fuck is this shit? this is perhaps the dumbest defense i've ever seen, especially when other rpg series can recolor while also making those recolors behave way differently, a thing the tales series hardly even attempts to do
"i want something to make the many hours of combat in my 30+ hour game more varied" is far from just nitpicking, dude

The game isn't clunky, it just has a considerable learning curve due to longer attack recovery animations.

you need skills to use more than one arte in a combo, and even when you start learning skills you're incredibly restricted with what variety and order you can use (i don't know why arte usage has been so restricted for so long in this series)
gameplay's incredibly linear up until a point, and just like every other game in the series it's ridiculously easy except for a few bosses (and mostly because the ai cannot fucking guard or dodge the same way a player can)

e level design is fine as is and is actually better than a lot of Tales games considering there are some puzzles

the puzzles presented here are fucking boring at best and annoying at worst
tales of graces had some solid puzzles here and there and they didn't get on my nerves
the existence of puzzles doesn't somehow make the level design any better
it's probably better than berseria and the xillia games for level design but it's not like that's even a high bar to pass
and when the hell did backtracking in the tales series of all fucking things become a positive? going through easy-ass old areas just to get a chest or giganto monster is the least creative thing you can do to try making a world feel more connected
copypasted hallways and dungeons that go on for way too fucking long are a thing that's been in this series for way longer than people like to imagine

Lastly, while there are quite a few palette swaps the overall bestiary in this game is huge and has plenty enough variety as is.

it doesn't matter how huge the bestiary is when the vast, grand majority of monsters all fight the fucking same as each other
you're finding the same archetypes (and sometimes exact same enemies) in various areas, sometimes back to back, and it creates an incredibly homogeneous experience
tales game bestiaries are the textbook example of using shitloads of filler and recolors in place of actually interesting new monsters to fight that actually provide a new combat experience
and then there's the enemies like the tortoises which are too slow and big to do anything anyways

it takes way too much time and way too many skills for the game to stop feeling so clunky and awkward
plot is pretty boring (the interesting stuff is just brushed aside and forgotten) and people really weren't fucking joking about the "let's go to the inn" thing
level design is pretty bleh as usual and there's almost no variety to the enemies you fight

it was a fun game to play in multiplayer but i sure as hell wouldn't have bothered with the game if i hadn't gotten such a steep discount

well yeah dr mario is one of the worst characters in the game

his recovery is abysmally bad and easily the worst in the entire game

Why the fuck do so many characters have up-tilts that cover the entire area around their bodies, but Pac-Man's can only hit directly above him?

are you really this mad when pacman is generally considered an easy top 15 character and is wayyyy better than the belmonts? the belmonts are more or less just skill check characters that are only really good against characters with extremely bad recoveries

the belmonts are really good with ledgetraps but there is plenty of counterplay to holy water if you're good at the game, and their offstage is so incredibly bad that they can die at like 30% off the simplest of edgeguards

good on you for finding happiness and companionship
kinda disgusting that so many people just want to shit on you for not picking someone younger and more traditionally attractive

sunshine is still pretty divisive
the hardcore fanboys who got into it at the beginning are just louder because everyone else has, reasonably, moved on from the game

whomever approved this name

whoever*

the 360's name was supposed to do with how it was all-encompassing and immersive or some shit like that

people make it normal and use that as their justification to be shitty

people talk about human rights as if we didn't have all the fights and protests in recent history
some people really think that we, as a society, have completely gotten over this shit when there are clearly still clearly so many backwards and hateful people

how is a picture of someone gonna prove how they feel on the inside

it's so weird how people talk about things being "natural" as if humans are slaves to their instincts, like we can't fucking do what we want because we're not "supposed to"
it always conveniently applies only when people want it to, too

mear

it's so weird how sa2 fanboys always go around filling in the gaps with fanfiction rather than pointing to anything that actually happened or was stated within the game

the human mind goes to some really dark and fucked up places
i like to think that the people who are into all that disgusting shit aren't messed up in some way, but it's really hard to have faith in people sometimes

They may make one soon. People have been wanting one. And they made a small one in the new Link Awakening. I heard its not the best. But it might be used to help them learn what to do for a Zelda Maker.

iirc, they actually said that they used that to test the waters

You should see Dreams. For the same reasons, I'm afraid this game is kinda set to fail. It has too much potential for its own good.

i'm interested in it but i only have a base ps4
with how badly the littlebigplanet games ran on the ps3 and ps4, i'm afraid that dreams would melt my base ps4
apparently the game devs are thinking of bringing it to other platforms? i remember reading something about that but i'm not sure where

And many of the most popular levels are shitty troll levels.

no, the most popular levels are music levels, auto levels, and uncreative "speedrun" levels where all you do is run to the right and follow coins

I dunno, it reminds me of the first LittleBigPlanet.

I think tons of people just like me thought "wow i can create any level I want!" Then after playing around with the creation tool realized it takes actual planning and lots of time then never bothered with it.

littlebigplanet is way more of a complex game and its level editor is terrifyingly complicated
the many quirks of the editor and physics engine make it extraordinarily easy for one thing to go wrong
i'm surprised that people can make good levels at all in it

people get so mad about a child-friendly reboot of some dumb 80s show none of them liked or probably even watched
it's weird

being a one-sided pain in the ass is kinda the entire point

piracy's pretty immoral if you're literally only doing it because you believe you're above the concept of paying

it's amazing how the only people who actually use whom and its variants don't even know how to use it properly

it's their really bad excuse for sexualizing kids

Holy shit Allen even wrote up a reason for the ban. Man this is unreal

where is this?

reddit's good for getting information on specific subjects but it's awful for discussion
there's also that weird elitism and gatekeeping that you, somehow, don't quite see on gamefaqs

People really liked my layered levels over the they play themselves! Levels and other nonsense SMM birthed.

auto levels don't bother me as much as the pathetic, copy-pasty "speedruns" do
so many "hold right and jump while following coins" levels that employ the same tricks with the on/off blocks, thwomps, fake kaizo blocks, and cannonball bounces
they aren't even good in a speedrunning sense because you're at top speed all the time with no accuracy or navigation required, so the only time you'll ever be able to get an increase in time is by using exploits like getting tiny speed boosts off the corners of ceilings (which is typically impossible anyway due to the heavily-scripted nature of these levels)
