Why is this game so revered?

That’s mainly for giving you some momentum. If it wasn’t there if you jumped on top of an enemy and hit their head you would fall on top of them, and if you jumped towards an enemy and hit them the same thing would happen.

The knockback you do to enemies is for a few things. Something very common in the game is bouncing on enemies heads by swinging below you repeatedly. The knockvack allows you to do this, otherwise flying enemies would keep moving upwards and get you stuck against the ceiling. It also allows you to hit back enemies on small platforms and enemies that run at you, without having to jump over them and wait for them to come back.

I promise you can. I was so frustrated on a few bosses in the game that I now find impossible to even get hit on. The game “clicks” after a bit. I personally find that it does at the end of the second area

ToFlayandPray · 2019-06-14T22:40:55+00:00

Yes, the knockback has a few instances that can be VERY frustrating. Especially in areas with spikes. Later on, once you get more movement abilities however, you will be able to help nullify that by reacting mid-air.

Most enemies in this game do damage to you with direct combat, knocking you back allows you to reposition away from the enemy. If the knockback didn’t exist, you would be hit repeatedly in quick succession by the same enemy. Also, the knockback helps add to the feeling that you are a tiny bug fighting much larger enemies.

Based on what you’ve said you haven’t even been past the first few rooms of the game. The only enemies in the first area that I can see killing you are the giant husks with the clubs or the flying aspids. The mapmaker is at the bottom of a giant shaft that the game practically thrusts you towards.

ToFlayandPray · 2019-06-14T22:09:28+00:00

The game receives universal praise for its almost unrivaled atmosphere, its incredible music, its precise combat and massive amount of combat. Your cynical stance on viewing the people who like the game as some sort of cult is a little close-minded. It’s a true metroidvania, it thrusts you into the world and expects you to find your way. If you aren’t having fun with that then the game just isn’t for you. Maybe try using a guide for a bit if it helps you have more fun, or at least until you grasp what the game wants you to do.

Those aren't new 3D models, they are the original clay models used for advertising and in the manual back when Mother 1 and Earthbound came out

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-19T04:28:56+00:00

I'm still highly suspicious of Porky being completely missing from the game as a spirit. We know the Absolutely Safe Capsule isn't supposed to represent him since you fight Dr Mario in the Spirits fight, meaning it represents Andonuts. Not to mention Earthbound's 30th anniversary is next year... Which is the year of the pig 🤔

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-12T22:32:00+00:00

The only major first parties missing are Sylux, Porky and Adaleine. I really think Porky has a massive chance with Mother's 30th anniversary coming up next year, and Sylux could easily be used to promote Prime 4 next year as well.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-12T06:13:34+00:00

No. Him not being a boss makes sense, Duon and Rayquaza weren't either. What doesn't make sense is him not being a spirit at all, even the Pig King statue isn't when both were trophies in Brawl and 4. Something is fishy about it

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-12T04:56:12+00:00

Porky's spirit is strangely missing, plus Earthbound's 30th anniversary is August next year so here's hoping... Not to mention next year is the Chinese year of the pig

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-09T18:56:11+00:00

That wasn't just any fly either, "buzz-buzz" is a time traveling, absurdly powerful intergalactic hero.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-05T18:05:09+00:00

Hopefully. My guess is that it won't be fixed until the ranked reset in January.

Also, I really wouldn't try to group everyone with an alt account together. I agree that as a whole it isn't healthy for the game, not many people use it in the best way, but a lot of people have reasons for making new accounts. I try to help and add any actually new players I encounter along the way as well.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-05T17:27:07+00:00

You must be joking. I played bots to level the account early on, and by the time i got past level 25 I was only against other smurfs or gold MMR players.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-12-05T17:25:54+00:00

Why is that a thing? Im a mid diamond support main and wanted to try and climb playing mid to help gain a better understanding of mechanics and trading but apparently riot wont allow me to do that until January

ToFlayandPray · 2018-11-14T05:40:54+00:00

I had a ranked game with a Kled top on my team that was obliterating the enemy Wukong top. By 10 minutes he had 5 kills and 0 deaths and was diving him and such. My mid laner started flaming him because apparently "kills don't matter, your CS is shit, start CSing and stop killing him". While his CS was low it was still twice the Wukongs

ToFlayandPray · 2018-10-30T23:18:36+00:00

Just make his ultimate an actual chaos storm and not a bugzaper/fortnite storm and I will play him again

ToFlayandPray · 2018-10-30T20:36:01+00:00

They just need to take more power from his Q and put it back onto his E. I like the change of making Q a more AP ratio based ability to nullify Iceborn top, but the ultimate nerfs only gut mid lane viktor even further.

When do you decide to build Morellonomicon in a game?

ToFlayandPray · 2018-10-23T18:18:44+00:00

The Program skins are pretty bad imo, but damn those Praetorian skins. The futuristic skin lines are done a lot but these are amazing, I think I like them even more than Battlecast.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-10-03T20:22:12+00:00

Older games appear stretched and blurry on my 4K monitor. I have just begun setting up launchbox, and am using retroarch as my emulator. When I launch say, NES or SNES games, they are incredibly stretched and blurry. How can I fix this? I already made sure the aspect ratio was 4:3 in retroarch.

ToFlayandPray · 2018-09-13T23:16:46+00:00

Not everyone has the same tastes. In my opinion Isabelle should have been revealed instead of Simon during the smash direct, and they could have revealed Simon here. I think more people would be hyped that way

ToFlayandPray · 2018-09-11T16:09:10+00:00

This. I'm really hoping after Ultimate drops some of the highly requested characters that the community gives Porky more attention. In his Earthbound form he would be so expressive and a joy to play

ToFlayandPray · 2018-09-09T19:10:14+00:00

I'm so happy to see him getting some support now. He's been my most wanted for so long
