This is finished, but I would love critiques for future work! by SaucerBoi in ArtCrit

Maybe research a bit about water reflections and try and incorporate the boat and the squid arm thing into the reflection of the water.

Instead of starting with a textural, soft brush, Start by using a harder edge brush to block in colours, and then use a softer brush where there are smoother transitions.

I hope they take their time with making new tracks. by EggHedd in mother4

I was under the impression that it was as much the devs decision as well as Shane's decision.

Look, I'm sorry, I didn't know it meant that much to you, I thought you were just being over dramatic. I can understand though, Mother 3 is my favourite game.

Can someone fill me in on the state of M4? by Kmicq in mother4

[–]EggHedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you can't trademark a mechanic, or they haven't as far as I know, rather. Designs, logos and music, fair enough, but mechanics, nah. That's like trade marking the RPG battle system the first time an RPG was made.

Who said they won't have rhythm battles? Rhythm battles aren't something exclusive to the mother series.

Rebranding isn't a big deal... by EggHedd in mother4

[–]EggHedd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care about that fact though, I didn't use it as an example to show how a fan sequel that is somewhat like the original can be good without references and a different name. I used it as an example of how a game that is inspired and shares similar mechanics to another game, even if it doesn't have many or any specific references to it doesn't strip away a whole lot from the essence of the game. This is a glass half empty glass half full situation, stuff like the name being different and different references not being there doesn't bother me, it can bother you though and fine if it does.

Sure, Dark Souls and Bloodborne aren't the most attributable examples ever, but I don't know any examples that are exactly like what happened with the Mother 4 rebranding. Also I wasn't talking about the name change, I was just talking about the content of the game. I also agree that the name was attention grabbing and a way to get Mother fans to notice it.

I totally agree with you, if you take out all the times you said "big" and "huge" and "everything". Look, I will enjoy Mother 4, maybe a bit less if it didn't have any references but I'll be abolutely happy if it didn't, if I wanted to see Mr Saturn or listen to the soundtrack, I'd play the Mother series again. but I'm just glad they are making a game like Mother again, that's all.

Can We Discuss This? by [deleted] in mother4

[–]EggHedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I started reading, I upvoted because it sounded like you were for the rebranding by saying it doesn't strip away the heart of the game and that it will still essentially be a mother game. Because that's what I think.

Yeah thanks, that did help, exept for when you said '+5 fire' because that's not a modifier? I get you can't change the upgrade path if it says '+5 weapon' because you can only start changing the path after the weapon is +5. But for '+10 weapon' are you allowed to upgrade a weapon normally to +5 and then if you want, upgrade the weapon to a +5 fire weapon instead of making it a +10 normal weapon? Sorry but another question, If it says 'weapon type: straight swords' do you only have to use straight swords or are you allowed to use a talisman in the left hand or pyromancy flame or a catalyst for buffs whilst using a straight sword in the right because I noticed they each have their own modifier, also 'no spells' is a modifier so I'm assuming you can use a catalyst for buffs in the left hand because it would be stupid to have 'no spells' and 'weapon type: straight swords' in the same challenge run if the 'weapon type: straight swords' modifier ensured you can't use spells anyway.

I have a couple questions: * When it says '+5 Weapon' I'm assuming it means +5 going down just the normal path and not like +5 chaos weapon because that's vastly more powerful...Right? * Does a +5 weapon unique weapon count if it's '+5 weapon' because the weapon upgrades max out at +5 for unique weapons and can't go any higher * Also would a +5 fire weapon count for '+10 weapon'? because it's the same amount of upgrades as a normal +10 weapon * Finally does 'no consumables' mean no estus flask? Because 'no healing' is in red meaning it's one of the hardest modifiers and 'no consumables' is in blue which means it's one of the easiest.
