ElatedVenusaur 09/07/21 10:05:50 PM #48:	Turn-based combat is great if you're actually going to use it to make players think and plan(PvP Pokemon is a great example of this). And if the average encounter can be beaten by button mashing, well...is it really a big difference? Lives are 100% an outdated concept though. I know it's getting a lot of attention for being a glitchy mess, but Sonic Colors apparently scrapped lives entirely. Instead, you collect Tails tokens: if you fall into a pit while you have one, Tails airlifts you back to roughly where you fell from. If you don't have one, or just die to an enemy, you simply get bounced to the last checkpoint, however close or far it may be. If even one of the old guard platformer series is toying with the idea... Passwords have been a legacy thing roughly since the advent of the 16-bit era. --- She/her <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:957834420] in Outdated g...
