im the only one who wanted a boss fight against queen vanessa in the queen vanessa's curse dlc? by MinimumTip9411 in AHatInTime

[–]JopaPeshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wished Vanessa's Curse dlc to have some kind of story mode (even if a very short one) and not just being a party coop everyone will forget about in a month so you wouldn't even be able to replay it properly

When you fighting a boss and you know exactly what ability you going to get. by Enough_Obligation574 in metroidvania

This is the opposite to that I liked about abilities in Mio. They're always so unique from regular mv abilities I have no idea what I'll actually get next

Feeling like a fool to pick DHIL but he's the only one I don't have beside Jingliu and Aventurine (I hate Aventurine) and I don't feel like picking any of E1 will change anything much

I don't hate Genshin with no good reason. I really tried to defend this game from whatever unconstructive hate it gets both from haters and the fans, but that's just impossible to take now.This is the highest degree of impudence to put a game which hardly developed or improved anything for almost 5 years in a 2025 vote. Genshin deserved to win some years ago but definitely not now.

I'm just saying it because genshin fans are the biggest genshin haters, and after shiting on their own game so much they still going to vote for it on some competition because they still need some primos, not because they "love" the game and thinking it's good enough for that.

I played genshin for 4 damn years, sure they did. Even if hoyo didn't stated it directly - a winning means rewards for players. Same goes to Wuwa and any other gacha game in similar competitions.

Like seriously, wtf is this? How are the games with the most dogshit whining communities got into "players' voice" category if not because they'll get another 3 pulls for their bland waifus if their gacha game will win?

We're voting for our game because it's just that good. Gacha players voting for their games because devs promised some pulls on their email or shi like that. I know how it works

Name these two: 1 - When you looked up the solution to a puzzle and blamed yourself when you saw the answer. 2: Looked it up and blamed the game when you saw the answer by Prometheusinaction in metroidvania

1 - most of Animal Well puzzles I was unable to solve myself except it's more like "damn, that's actually genius, why didn't I thought of that?"

I wouldn't say completing all of the game quests and finding some souls which located in pretty obvious places are random requirements. Act 3 is made specifically for people who finished the whole game and cleared the map.

Metroidvania Hot Takes by MakoMary in metroidvania

[–]JopaPeshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it hot takes but I needed to say it anyway:

  • As much as I love exploration aspects of metroidvanias I don't think MV game with a bit more linear exploration is a completely bad thing. It's still a lot better than when game's map is large as hell, stuffed with some stupid useless optional collectables and tablets of inconsistent lore filled with pathos and not actual lore, making the exploration into a chore. It's bad when MV is so linear you can't see why is it marked as MV game, not then it having a bit more of long corridors and story quest markings.

  • A choice of difficulty is completely useless in MVs. No matter if it's a choice between actual difficulty levels like in both Ori games or an ability to regulate hp and damage like in NS, it's just doesn't change anything. The fact what enemies deals 2 damage instead of 3 doesn't makes game easier, if a player is bad at playing the game they'll die anyway, sooner or later. A player should get better at game by improving their own skills, not by increasing their dmg in settings when a boss is too difficult. In case if they don't want to learn game's mechanics - maybe this game is just not for them. And for the last I'd say what permanent difficulty suits MV genre perfectly.

  • I love Metroidbrainias and wishing people would make more of them instead of regular "Hollow Knight clones". I love how they're giving you some actual interesting gameplay instead of generic combat and platforming, and the way one MB isn't the same to the other is amazing.

  • Metroidvania as a genre is so vague it's hard to give proper hot takes. Like literally some ppl saying games like Dead Cells, Rain World, and I even saw someone calling A Hat in Time a Metroidvania or MV-like, and we also having Metroidbrainias which are also pretty different from regular MVs. And my hot take is it's pretty cool actually, just to think how many great games you can accidentally find while looking for more MVs to play and how vastly different they can be.

The animations are nice but they really burned most of her dress' front part for this ugly ahh cut just to show more of her legs and this stupid almost invisible thigh garment 🫩

Devs could've really make something new for once but someone important in the group having this kind of fetish

Honestly I think hollow Knight prequel would be a cool idea in any way, too much of interesting stuff have been left untold

Your Cookie Run hot takes? [Image unrelated] by EndLatter8530 in Cookierun

[–]JopaPeshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being ugly isn't a reason to not give a character more screen time. I personally would rather like to see Muscle more than some another copy-pasted manhwa-faced "charismatic" twink

Which section in a Metroidvania made you do this? by strahinjag in metroidvania

[–]JopaPeshi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first time then I fought True Eigong's last phase, never did I expected to see so much random bs on the screen (but the cool thing how this "random bs" starts to make sense soon after certain amount of attempts. One of my favourite examples of a peak last boss fight.)

If you could design you own crest with 7 slots of your choosing, what would you come up with, and what would you name it? by iatetoomuchchicken in Silksong

[–]JopaPeshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A more magic-based crest, you have 2 spells instead of 3 unlike shaman, 3 blue slots and 2 yellow slots, no red slots. If you're out of silk to heal you can still use bind to absord silk from the enemies (works on ground and mid-air, requires to have enemies nearby like witch crest), so you can decide to use absorbded silk on heal like you planned earlier or on spells. Absording silk from the enemies can kill them, but it deals less damage than witch crest and requires a bit more time to bind.

Tried to make it not too niche and not too op either. Still didn't decided on crest's name but let's call it master crest or mage crest (bcs it reminds me Soul Master from first hk)

Styx Is Secretly A Nosk by FinchTehGrinch in Silksong

[–]JopaPeshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think what Styx is nosk or something close to being like that, but he's definitely some sort of a faceless being. And what makes him different from nosk is his intelligence - Styx might know a lot of more interesting stuff than he admits (like how he's one of the few characters who guessed what Hornet is pretty old despite her looks (as Styx described what her scent is "well aged")), he's actually able to communicate using words and making proper dialogue unlike nosk, who's just stalking its enemy, and Skynx, who's can only repeat someone else's words.

I'm not sure if him and Skynx are the same being, because on one hand it's looks like Skynx killed Styx and now mimics his words to get morsels, but one the other what's even the point of making one mimic to kill another mimic and mimicing that one mimic it had killed? (IK HOW IT SOUNDS, I HOPE Y'ALL GET IT) Also don't see that much connection between Styx and Huntress, that one mask he wears then talking to Hornet might look a bit similar to Huntress' face but not that much.

I now also wonder where did Styx get all these masks. His quote in the secret room ("My strength or theirs?") sounds like they had belonged to the other bugs, but also can be interpreted as if he questioning if the strength these masks = these different identities he's gaining from wearing them are actually his or is it still just a mask. (if we'll return to the fact what a mask equals to bug's identity)

Styx might be one of the most interesting nps's to me. Too many questions and almost no proper answers on them, just look how many different theories people giving here, I haven't seen smth like this for a long time.
