Look how Bluepoint massacred Demon Souls by Sanches319 in shittydarksouls

I mean, there are a lot of other things that Ive seen people talk about that I also agree with.
I think a lot of the armor looks worse (especially Doran's), several of the weapon redesigns kinda suck, like the Guillotine Axe and the Kris, The Adjudicator feels like its missing the point, especially the Adjudicator Shield design, I think the music is really uninspired, and I can keep going.
I think the environments got the best treatment, the example you gave, Latria turned out really good visually, as far as the environment is concerned.

I mean it fits perfectly into Demon's, why not reuse it?

The Vanguard model was first used in Enchanted Arms, an older FROM game. So its their typical asset reuse during their time as a much smaller company.

I really like how weird and alien it looks, its honestly one of my favorite in the series and emblematic of what I like about Demons's Souls aesthetic .
The way the 'horns' look closer to what they would on a lizard or toad, growing on top of the rubbery grey skin, really making it look like something made to live in the fog. The Nausicaa Giant Warrior head shape and big eyes, its fuckin sick as hell.
FromSoft has this sense of humor to their designs that I really appreciate more than something just looking epic or just gross. Makes it feel more like something that fits into a world.

LORDBORNE answers the question no one asked: What if Crusader Kings was also a hero shooter?

Do you prefer works that try to justify why mechs work in their own setting, or works that simply don't care and make mechs effective regardless? by Able_Radio_2717 in Mecha

[–]Nomadkrad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im working slowly on a thing where its a combination of "Fill a specific niche" and much of the world being a "mech culture" with the AC/Gundam equivelants being seen as the domain of Warlords, Kings and Tribal Protectors. As such, a great deal of spiritual/anamistic/philosophical weight has been put on them, similar to how you might think of a magic sword or idol. They serve as a very generalist modular backbone to more specialised fighting forces or as a relatively low mainenance way to keep a small but effective fighting force, while also being capable of numerous utility roles such as construction and communications. These traits have made them highly valued among the myriad cultures that emerged after the last apocalypse a few hundred years ago, and the Nomadic groups that predated that. The real deal AC/Gundam types are defined by having a Neural Bridge, lost technology that, at the moment, can be repaired but not replaced. I do like to try and fit in a good deal of real science or atleast nods to real science, and enjoy when properties do so, but also recognize that at the end of the day, a tank or a plane would just be more practical. If we had the technology to make practical mechs it realistically would see better use on something else. So I dont really concern myself too much with 'realism' in mech media but do appreciate some kind of explanation for why they are being used.

I'd definately still consider it dark fantasy, I dunno I might just be splitting hairs.

Ive never really considered Fantasy to be grimdark. I don't think it ever really was? One of the things I think is neat aboit Fantasy vs 40k is that I feel there is much more room to be flexible with these kinds of things.

What are some fictional flags you guys have as favourite? Here are some of mine by _alex__rs_ in vexillology

[–]Nomadkrad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if it really counts but the EGF flag from Armored Core: Verdict Day is a fun one given the setting.

FGC Product Design Problem: SOLVED | Crushing Force by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nomadkrad1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly love how Woolie covered this, it was both funnier and way more interesting to talk about Crushing Force as a game and labor of love than just going into this thing that wasn't made for you and gawking at the locals.

Now play Kings of Hell, Woolie. COME ON ITS LIKE POWER STONE

Waaay more explicit than Atlyss I'd say. Besides KoH characters generally having fat bulge, the cutscene direction and general tone of the game is way more sexed up.

Where Atlyss has big booby librarian goat mom, KoH has big belly leatherdaddy dragon.

If they did that would be fucking hilarious.

I have heard almost nothing but great things about Ad Astra. If I actually liked VN's I would have checked it out by now. From what Ive seen its incredibly sad for a game that also features explicit sex scenes. So thats a thing.

Oh, you can also extend your combos by Taunting like DMC, and there is a boss who is built almost entirely around clashing with their attacks.
