Anyways I still don't quite understand how this shall be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, 10 years in stone does that to you, but still. I see myself grinding away for her already. At least I managed to acquire a semi-decent weapon for her in form of the Faerie Foil (that T 'n' T Board stuff seems like a fun minigame, but I'll leave it at this one try), so who knows? Maybe she'll be able to contribute sooner than I'd expect her to. There's always the casino's Gringham Whip, if you have the patience. Getting her up to par won't be a problem if you keep her in the reserve party, at least when you have the wagon. If not, there's Metal Slimes to fight at Gotha Pass. Just equip some Poison Needles and you can be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like no matter how good other series are they can never be good as ''x'' series. Or that's the implication anyway Well that's a different argument. I'm talking more about in a franchise itself. Sometimes it feels like more people would rather focus on the formula than the quality. Like, Breath of the Wild is a very common example. A lot of "it's a good game, just not a good Zelda game". I personally don't care if it's a "good Zelda game", I just care if it's a good game. If Zelda will be like BotW going forward and it's done well, why would I complain? I got enjoyment out of it, did I not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Ah, that argument. I see it time to time when people compare Chrono Cross to Chrono Trigger... and they're being generous, since otherwise it's just criticizing Cross anyway.

When I said what I said about Paper Mario and Fates, I meant more that the change in gameplay was accompanied by a change in game quality. Of course, it does seem that Nintendo has learned from SS and CS in making Origami King, so much so that it's an overall good game that you enjoyed. It's just not a game that I'm likely to play for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Concerning Origami King, there was apparently an interview with the staff members where they noted they weren't allowed to create original characters based on existing ones anymore, which is why most NPCs in modern PM games are just generic Toads. Or at least that's the gist of it, anyway. I haven't read the whole thing, so take it with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, here's an example https://steamcommunity.com/app/748490/discussions/0/2860219962103893654/ First, everyone posts there characters (no poll yet) One we get 16 Characters, we use RNG to determine the brackets. After that we do daily rounds with polls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point with Sticker Star though. Although I'd say Sticker Star's complete lack of life is a bigger issue than the mediocre gameplay. Color Splash seems to have more life in it at least, even if it is Sticker Star 2. 8 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Of course, it does seem that Nintendo has learned from SS and CS in making Origami King, so much so that it's an overall good game that you enjoyed. It's just not a game that I'm likely to play for myself. Fair enough. I agree that they have learned, so much so that I wouldn't really call Origami King "Sticker Star 3". But I also wouldn't say it's exactly a return to form and that's fine. And even if it was a return to form, saying it was good because of that would be doing it a disservice. 8 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Concerning Origami King, there was apparently an interview with the staff members where they noted they weren't allowed to create original characters based on existing ones anymore, which is why most NPCs in modern PM games are just generic Toads.

I do not understand why they can't modify existing Mario characters, especially when they do shit like Dr. Goomba Tower in the Dr. Mario mobile game. 5 minutes ago, Caster said: I mean, on the other side, I didn't like BotW, if Zelda is going to be with BotW going forward, why would I not be annoyed, I didn't enjoy it and want to go back to a different formula for it.

It's totally fine to not be onboard with the new direction but that's a different argument tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see Nintendo actually try to improve, even if they don't necessarily listen closely to what the fans say about the games they release which honestly makes so little sense from the perspective of Nintendo as a company trying to make money.

Acacia Sgt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Ironic that they're made by Intelligent Systems. Imagine if they had that attitude with FE too. They don't, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benice Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Speaking of Zelda, I really hope they try to.implement Motion controls again. Skyward Sword's my favorite game ever partially because of them, so I'd really like to see Nintendo try it again. I liked the difficulty it provided so much! Although I get that they won't because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who liked them in SS's iteration of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
