It's on gamepass and I've put about three hours into it. Really enjoying it so far. Started as a fighter but thinking of restarting as something a little more exciting
I have the first one on PS4 and enjoyed it. I didn't like it as much as the old Baldur's Gate games but I appreciate that someone's still making games like this.

It also features my 2 favorite Star Wars machines: AT-ATs and snowspeeders!

If you count where the protagonists don't KNOW they're the bad guys I'd say the first episode of Friday the 13th: The Series because the heroes are unwittingly selling cursed antiques to everyone before they find out later from Jack that's a big no-no.

Many of the items they sold end up killing lots of people in later episodes.

Yub Nub was kind of a nice, folksy ending to the whole thing (although it is *very* 80s), whereas the '97 one is a bit more galactic in scale.

Yeah you could totally see where he was setting the table for the prequels with the new ending, and it's not *bad*, it's just not what I grew up seeing in the theater as a little kid or re-watching a million times on TV and video later.

I think Yub Nub is also more fitting if there were only going to be the OT and nothing else, seems way more final.

Not bad, but the projectile weapons have to be magic-based for this particular game.

Plus I totally forgot one of my weapons, a cleaver. I'll update my main post in a minute.

EDIT: Hmmm apparently it's been too long and I can't update it anymore :(

Anyhow it was-

Cleaver
(1H)
Damage 1-2, has a blood meter to it- keep striking enemies to fill the gauge and once full next swing deals 17-18 damage and resets the gauge.

So if we take some of these posts together we're looking at some sort of Holy Warhammer with a healing enchantment. There's an existing powerup in the game already where if you have it and kill a minor enemy within X seconds it heals you for a very small amount. Maybe the hammer could boost the healing and create a nice synergy.

Note: X = variable. Tougher minor enemies get more leeway since it takes longer to kill them than say, a bat.

It sucks because when I went to show my daughter the OT for the first time all I had were his special editions he made in the 90s on DVD. So not only did we get the shittier ending to RotJ we get that terrible & cringey music video at Jabba's. I actually had to say I was sorry she had to see that, and that it used to be better lol.

Is in empire when yoda is being a s*** and going through all of Lukes stuff, eats that stick thing, and then R2 tries to take something away from hit so he just starts whacking at R2 with a stick

"MINE, MINE! MINE! MINE!"

All of Yoda's Empire scenes are gold but especially when you first meet him and he's fucking with Luke.

For me, it's hard to beat the whole Vader / Luke fight in front of Palpatine in Return of the Jedi though. And I absolutely mean before the "NOOOOOOOOO!" was added in later.

ParanoidObsessive posted...
No ranged attacks (other than magic)? Bow and arrow/crossbow or javelins would seem to be obvious options. Or boomerang, but then you're shading into Zelda comparisons.

I had a crossbow in mind prior as well but wanted to make it so that all the projectile weapons were magic wands and etc. There are enemy wizards in the game that are immune to magic so the thinking here was that you'd have to go up close and personal with them using melee weapons on purpose. With a crossbow (or similar) you'd be able to cheese them from afar which for these in particular I didn't want to do.

I've been making a Metroidvania for almost 3 years off and on and have one spot left for another weapon. I thought it might be a cool idea to see if anybody else aside from me could think of something great.

You can give it extra powers or whatever too, of course. Here's what I have so far so you know what kind of things already exist:

----

Sword (1H)
Damage: 1-3, Chance to critically hit: 2%

Torch (1H)
Fire Damage: 1-3, Extra Damage vs. insects, lights dark areas when held, burns plant obstacles, can't use while in water

Whip (1H)
Damage: 2-3, Fast weapon, long reach

Spear (2H)
Damage: 1-3, Damage vs. flying enemies +10, can't use a shield while equipped

Axe (1H)
Damage: 3-5, Swings in an overhead arc

Wand (1H)
Magic Damage: 3-10, Fires 3 orange projectiles downward & away, short range

Rod (1H)
Magic Damage: 1-4, Fires 3 blue projectiles up & away that go through walls / enemies

Zweihander (2H)
Damage: 5-12, hits through enemy shields, can't use a shield while equipped

Gold Axe (1H)
Damage: 1-7, Item Drop Rate is increased

Izo's Razor (sword) (1H)
Damage: 8-10, Cursed, Small chance to heal the enemy to full HP on strike

El Zappo (whip) (1H)
Electric Damage: 1-5, Damage increased to 14-15 when wet, able to power dead batteries

Cactus Rod (1H)
Magic Damage: 3-6, Creates a spinning projectile attack that may deflect enemy projectiles

Roll of Quarters (1H)
Damage: 5, short range, very fast

Dagger (1H)
Damage: 1-4, Critically hits enemies when stabbed from behind

Icebrand (Sword) (1H)
Damage: 1-5, Freezes some enemies into solid blocks of ice that can be used as platforms

Flail (1H)
Damage: 2-9, long reach, very slow, smashes through rubble and other similar obstacles

Devil Axe (1H)
Damage: 9-13, Cursed, Chance to critically hit: 9%, HP drains over time / 3 per tick

----

I'd kind of like the new weapon to not be another sword if that helps.

My save's only 41 hours but enjoying the hell out of it.

Some of these rules need to go though- Examples being 'no ranged attacks' (where crits count as ranged attacks because you knock the enemy back) and 'no damage less than 20 points' or whatever.

A part of that game I didn't like though IIRC was that the auto maps didn't save when you quit, really crappy in some of those dungeons.

My favorite Genesis game though has to be Might & Magic 2: Gates to Another World. It's a huge upgrade from the Apple ][ version. It's so friggin good.
