Okay, we get it. Klonoa was the most influential game of the last 20 years. Basically every game since 1997 has had Klonoa elements. Jumping, collecting, the iconic 2.5D design, even borrowing wholesale from its plot. But some of these games only borrow one or two things from Klonoa, where true "klonoalikes" are basically just ROM-hacks -- which explains why they're always the best-selling games of the year, since nobody can get enough Klonoa. I love Klonoa as much as anyone. More, even. That's why I'm sick of seeing every game that comes out termed a "klonoalike." Not every side-scrolling item-collecting game with a protagonist that shoots magical rings of energy is a klonoalike. Okay? We're all gamers, we all love and grew up with Klonoa, but this has to stop.

And no, Threads of Fate VIII is not a klonoalike. It's an action-rpg with some Klonoa elements. ToF IV is the only one that can be called a klonoalike.

Furthermore, no. Not every game where you push blocks and lay traps for your enemies is a "bomberlolo." I don't care how many crates there are in Metal Gear Solid, it's not a bomberlolo game.

One of these games inspired a generation of gamers, the other stars some idiot gecko. Gee, I wonder why. Oh yeah, it's because Klonoa loving redefined what it means to game.

There's an alternate universe where the heyday of the 3D collectathon platformer never ended but gritty "realistic" military stuff still became the genre du jour. Jesus gently caress.

Woah! Don't have a gecko, man! FactsAreUseless posted:In that universe, the Jak series serves the role of every gritty super-serious military FPS. A game is released with the title "Jak'N Off!" and it is billed by every major gaming media platform (the ones they've paid at least) as the most sublime example of Gaming.

It's a shame that Dynamite Headdy Online has become so much more popular than the original trilogy, I don't think Treasure will ever go back and do another platformer
