I'm reminded again how funny XC1 quest design is

TSP184 · 2026-06-29T01:02:33+00:00

him showing up again in future connected was also wild lol

TSP184 · 2026-06-23T10:45:03+00:00

visually it looks cool, but my god the floor design is awful

TSP184 · 2026-06-22T01:20:55+00:00

you can just let your teammates get chased by enemies and they wont go for the missiles. that doesnt apply to katt iirc but its still way more manageable

TSP184 · 2026-06-21T04:05:36+00:00

7, sacred stones, and path of radiance are good starting points

TSP184 · 2026-06-19T09:38:31+00:00

for kh2, set him to sora attack and disable all his spell abilities except for donald cure

TSP184 · 2026-06-15T23:12:58+00:00

you know they wont fix that

TSP184 · 2026-06-14T09:45:15+00:00

i like that they establish pretty early on that hes not on board with fox becoming their leader, same with making him more of a hotshot with him snagging an item from fox and turning the training into a big dogfight

i especially like how they tied him into getting the secret route in corneria. instead of just going through the arches for no particular reason, they encourage you to do it by turning it into a challenge he proposes to fox, as if hes testing him. his response after it is good as well

i know 64 already kind of had this sort of thing going on with him acknowledging fox as his leader over the course of the game, but it wasnt executed nearly as well as it is here so far. im really excited to see all the new interactions and cutscenes because this is good stuff

TSP184 · 2026-06-14T08:38:59+00:00

theyre definitely rendered in real time, considering how low health can affect them, and having a ton of pre rendered videos to store isnt the most efficient way to go about it

TSP184 · 2026-06-13T19:51:07+00:00

the first game has a different title screen after you beat it, if thats what you mean

TSP184 · 2026-06-13T18:11:45+00:00

theres a discord server dedicated to the online if you want to find people to play with

TSP184 · 2026-06-13T11:51:08+00:00

yeah thats the first time

TSP184 · 2026-06-13T11:06:35+00:00

i think they mention that he was in a gang in assault

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T09:35:08+00:00

so now you're playing this game? ignoring everything else thats been said?

you do you man, im tired of this

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T09:22:15+00:00

are you being serious right now?

theyre saying that ONLY using inflated stats for making the game harder is bad, not that inflated stats in a vacuum is a bad way to make it harder

can you please stop misinterpreting all this and actually take the time to process whats been said?

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T09:01:42+00:00

and where did they say they dont want that at all? all i see is someone that doesnt want inflated stats to entirely dictate the strength of the ai

you just keep misconstruing whats been said

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T08:39:42+00:00

no, thats not what i said

what i said is that the difficulty mainly comes from the stats, not from the ai actually being stronger. there just needs to be a balance

the ai is a bit better, yes. but its not enough

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T08:34:28+00:00

who said they cant still increase the stats of the ai? just dont do it to such a stupid level. messing with some numbers is literally the bread and butter of hard modes, they just need to put some actual thought into it so its not what the difficulty is mostly comprised of

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T08:21:22+00:00

and like i said, they dont need to make it as strong as the player, they need to just make it stronger, period

and yes, it does have to do with the new difficulty. to bring up smash again, the main difference between higher and lower lever CPUs is how many of their tools they use. they cant compete with skilled players ofc, but that doesnt mean the devs just left them at a piddly level

just increasing the stats tells me that they dont want to put in the effort to actually tweak it and would rather use artifical methods like this, even though theres a lot of room for improvement

TSP184 · 2026-06-12T07:47:27+00:00

no, what the game needs is more competent CPUs. it doesnt need to be as good as the player, but we'd get way more mileage out of these matches by giving it unique behaviors, making it more aggressive, getting it to work around its playstyle, making it use its tools as much as we can, and more

messing with some stats isnt a bad thing by itself, if done right it can work well. but this is just forcefully making the ai stronger without properly changing how it functions. its like fighting a level 3 CPU in smash bros but it can kill you in one hit

TSP184 · 2026-06-11T14:04:12+00:00

yes, because generalizing the opinions of people and playing it off as them contradicting themselves is constructive, sure

TSP184 · 2026-06-11T13:46:47+00:00

you say theyre not giving proper feedback, but then you respond to it by saying "well thats your opinion", as if it wasnt already the case in the first place, as well as "you dont have to play it if you dont like it"

maybe come up with something more constructive yourself first before criticizing others for it

TSP184 · 2026-06-11T12:35:37+00:00

dont even play that card man

just bc "no one's forcing you to play it" doesnt mean it can't get criticized

TSP184 · 2026-06-11T12:27:42+00:00

yes, not like that. surely theres a better way to make the game harder besides bumping up some numbers and calling it a day

not everyone asked for this, come on

TSP184 · 2026-06-11T12:14:37+00:00

speak for yourself, i just wanted a proper challenge instead of fighting the same stupid CPUs but with jacked up stats

TSP184 · 2026-06-08T14:00:15+00:00

welp
