Well now you're talking some legitimate gripes here. Weather impacting climbing is horrible, and enemy variety is very weak. I also agree that the "dungeons" don't replace real dungeons. The game has a lack of meaningful content for people that aren't good with internalizing goals.

This is the problem when games are too easy. All 3 weapon typrs have very different functions but it doesnt matter because you have infinite health restore and people just mash A and eventually win

I think context is also important here.

It feels like such a big leap from Gen I and bonafide sequel that few gens ever really recapture. Even Gen 3 came with concessions like no night/day cycle despite going from GBC to GBA. It seems like the series has become stagnant and no longer one-upping itself in content, which Gen 2 absolutely did.

I'm keeping track of the people who say the controls aren't very good and labeling you all under "people who apparently put very little effort forth"

Everything about modern game design doesn't want players to put in effort in this way though

I like the formula. It's just funny that they're basically the same outside of setting and core combat.

And its more pronounced in DA2 than DAO.

Also can we just talk about how well Banjo-Kazooie has aged. Like for a 'Mario 64 ripoff' it's definitely more playable nowadays.

The reason B-K probably ages better is because there's much less demand on the controls of the player to begin with. You really don't have the freedom of movement you do in SM64, but it takes a lot longer to master SM64, and people just aren't willing to put up with that.

It's such a curious discussion.

I think it really comes down to how much you're willing to learn to enjoy the game fully. Older games just have a steeper curve because you have to figure out the physics and controls that are less intuitive than they used to be.

If you can get past that you'll find most games age just fine, especially formative legends like SM64. The core game design is still excellent and enjoyable, the controls work perfectly when you understand them.

I just got done playing Vice City for the first time, and yeah a whole bunch of things don't age well in that game or the other PS2 GTAs, but after a solid 10 hours lots of the same stuff that was making me pull my hair out because of bad controls became no problem (like shooting mechanics in general).

I mean if you go in thinking a game is going to be a masterpiece there's pretty much no way to live up to that.

I dont know if I'd call it that myself, but I probably wouldnt call anything that. Character development was top notch though!

It covered material that was already out so it was in a unique situation.

Even HxH99 was plagued by early filler. But yeah obviously there were good ones before 2010. But you'd rarely find the entire series adapted. Even Kenshin had some filler/original content for the first third, did Kyoto perfectly, then died in filler hell before it could finish.

YYH probably the best example of a start to finish excellently paced adaptation. Actually I forgot one of my smfas mains in Fist of the North Freakin Star too

Jump anime didn't really get consistently good until the 2010s with the season formula.

Is it Yabuki

Yeah. And Hungry Marie was just not good. The premise was too complex for the romcom vibe it was going for. Not that I read more than a few chapters but it was doomed from the start. Hopefully this one turns out better.

Eh I don't think there's anything particularly worse about the last buncha chapters than the previous 50.

To me the whole series has felt kinda like it had an obligation to tell more story after the Season 1 material. And that's about it. But yeah I feel you that it's kinda empty watching it finally end. It's not bad, but it's also not that interesting either when you basically know how it's all gonna go down.

The only thing you "need" to do is get the ID number from the sword on the ground near the beginning of the dungeon. If you want the unique prize from within you need to interact with some stuff so that a door opens and you can fight a boss. (there are two boss fights in there)
