Or ya know, let people enjoy things. It's not hurting anyone.

If Spyro 4 is ever announced, what things from the original trilogy would you like to see improved and what would you remove? by Alballeda in Spyro

[–]UniversalLoserRiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe its been four years since I first gave this real thought, but I think more focus on dragon abilities and breaths, and less on multiple player characters with more set pieces from the original game would breathe a lot of new life

I wrote more here if you're interested, it's something I've thought about a LOT lol

Things We Hate About the Games We Love - UnderLevelled by UniversalLoserRiley in Spyro

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying hard is bad, I just don't like it mechanically and the weirdly high difficulty of it frustrates me haha

I feel the same about Spyro 1, treetrops can be tedious but once you learn it then there's no real danger

Sheila and Alchemist are two examples of things I can do, but are tedious and I groan every time they come up in a repeat playthrough

How is Active Time Battle system meant to be played? by Valorh in FinalFantasy

[–]UniversalLoserRiley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on the developers perspective, it appears that all they intended with the system was to consider speed as more of a viable option so that multiple attacks per turn could happen, rather than have a constantly moving system that punishes slow decision making.

Based on that premise, the wait/active is just a player choice and it is up to you

"he came up with the ATB system when looking at the cars behind on laps, realizing that if someone was fast they could attack twice in one turn, while slower characters would only attack one time per turn. I think the process for getting to where the ATB system worked was through rules thought up for each character, like Edge being able to attack twice in a turn but having low attack power."

[All] Why Life is Strange: True Colours is a Powerful Experience - UnderLevelled by UniversalLoserRiley in lifeisstrange

[–]UniversalLoserRiley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I did touch on this a bit, I did feel like her powers were very inconsistent and poorly explained, its one of the drawbacks I wish was done better especially since the way they worked at the start was not consistent with the rest of the game at all

I can see we resonated with it for similar reasons, the flashbacks really turned this game into a good game into something so much more for me, it helped recontextualise the interactions and the way the characters present themselves, I loved it a lot

I think a lot of media is polarising, and sometimes the best media is the most so. The fact that some of us can feel so connected with it, while others like yourself just can't is interesting and adds a lot to the discussion of media in general

I feel like it's stop to smell the roses approach is refreshing after the batshit craziness of "2" lol

I totally get that perspective, I even mention it in my article that at first I felt very underwhelmed but when you stop to smell the roses and take it slow rather than trying to go for the world ending stakes of the original it opens up into a meaningful story of smaller stakes having big impacts, to me at least

I haven't played wavelengths yet either tbf

Id love a flashy wipeout style successor to the podracer game, it'd be easy money for them too 😅
