I used to be a pretty big Homestuck fan and even made embarrassing fan contributions I regret to this day before I realized it was just going nowhere fast, and I feel bad that they got screwed, but I also have to ask why in the gently caress they didn't draft up a properly binding legal contract, did they just hand over money and go 'welp make game please' :confused:

I also have to ask why these guys are making a new King's Quest, I mean it's an old and dead franchise so it probably isn't hard to pick up, but all they've made is some pie game and a bad Gaiman game

Probably some mixture of "people will buy/back this no matter what because it says King's Quest on it and there's no bottom of the well when it comes to nerdy nostalgia", and "it's a passion project because someone in a high-up position working on it really liked King's Quest as a kid".

Why either of those things is the case I have no idea because the KQ games are terrible, but hey!

From the trailer it looks like you can actually control the character so I wonder how it's going to work, control wise. Jungle/Fiesta Run you could only jump, punch, etc.

You don't get to fly in 4, you just do super-jumps and glides like in Prototype. Gat Out Of Hell is the one where you can fly.

You unlock the super jump pretty early in the game, upgrade it a few times and you'll never need to drive again. Same with super speed once you get the vortex upgrade that makes you push aside everything in your path.

Huh, we'll see how it goes. Left<>Right and Jump/Attack are doable on a touchscreen, just harder.

I want to use a fallout 2 save editor to bring back a missed quest that I only missed due to working around a dumb bug, but I don't know which values to edit. I'm pretty sure the people at the NMA forums would be able to tell me, but I really don't want to interact with them if I can avoid it.

My life is average.

shadow warrior 2 has wolverine claws and dying light style parkour? i'm sold.

the current game is really cool but leaves a lot to be desired in its rated encounter based combat, key hunting level progression, and slooooow trickle of new weapons, enemies, and powers

opening up the levels a bit, having a friend along with you, etc will go a long way.

Snes JRPGs were great. I firmly believe many people who say they hate the genre got in during the PSX era or later, when things started to suck.

It doesn't look like Dying Light style parkour, and more or less just a really generous auto-mantling system.

I do agree that larger levels with more open, circular routes could actually suit the borderlands-style coop they are going for.

I dislike most of the JRPG gameplay since Phantasy Star on the master system but I love Mana Khemia for example since the combat is way more engaging and it has other interesting mechanics like the alchemy stuff. I bet most people dislike the fact that it's turn based, period.

The problem with JRPGs is that it's very easy for developers to slap on a simple turn based system and add artificial grind and call it "challenging" or "rewarding" gameplay.
Add anime tittays and it will sell.

So the market is pretty flooded with subpar JRPGs. Like, I will say I hate JRPGs even though I love tales games and some earlier FF games. Because 90% of the time I'm right that they're bad.

They don't really though. Crap like Neptunia only profits through extreme cost-cutting.

I am having a really hard time replaying some of the older games I've already beat. I don't know how some people can burn right through the FFV Fiesta 4-8 times like they do but there you go.

Also one of my cats didn't come home last night and now I am worried sick that something happened to her. I hope she comes home safely soon. :(
