The story in this game is the one part that really stands out as being a completely amateur effort. The gameplay and music and visuals all live up to the best of the era they take inspiration from, but the story is just really clunky and poorly executed. I pretty much just stick to Classic Mode when I play this and it really doesn't feel like I'm missing out on much. The levels themselves do a better job at creating a narrative and atmosphere than the actual cutscenes. I'm definitely on board with them editing out the extraneous fluff.

The gameplay will probably still be good so I consider it good news. And the story has pretty much nowhere to go but up

I never got the combat complaints people had about this game. You can just run pass most non-boss enemies (thanks to the lack of contact damage) and the game fully expects you to do this a lot of the time. And Lilac's moveset is pretty well-geared towards dispatching enemies efficiently.

So yeah, go ahead and throw all semblance of tonal consistency out the window at this point. Good thing Classic Mode is still around!

Great Joe posted:My associates tell me that the latest plot section was about torturing a teenager. I dunno why the teenager part is the most important part but yes it is about horribly torturing and disfiguring a cutesy anime furry girl for some reason. And then she heals in a magical bathtub in the next scene rendering that completely pointless so... Listen releasing your first real attempt at writing to the masses is just a really bad idea okay? corn in the bible posted:That dragon boss is godawful, seriously Yeah, I generally like the bosses but this one kinda sucks. Too much waiting, his weak points are too annoying to hit, too much reliance on boosting in order to dodge pretty much all of his attacks, it's pretty messy.

The disappearing blocks are indeed done quite well. They cycle quickly and are more a test of reaction time than having to memorize a puzzle, and Lilac's boost allows you to jump right back up at a later point in the section after being dropped down into the "huge gently caress-off swarm of enemies" penalty area below. Also double jumping to spin through a swarm of flies killing dozens of them feels really cool and satisfying even if you will inevitably take a hit or two doing that.

Katsuma posted:It... kind of is, though? I mean, Freedom Planet's whole identity is in its story. Without this hamfisted, poorly executed, strangely edited, but earnestly told story, Freedom Planet wouldn't be Freedom Planet. It would just be "Go right and Double Jump into Bosses Sometimes: The Game." Really because I only ever play Classic Mode and the game has plenty of personality without the dumb amateur story. It's got style, cool setpieces, great music, varied environments, fast pacing... You even get a handful of hammy one-liners from Brevon for good measure, torture not included!

Great Joe posted:Attention, people who click on "Story": I don't ever want to meet any of you and you are bad people. You shouldn't judge people who can't bring themselves to look away from the trainwreck. Also everything else aside, Brevon is deliciously hammy and a pretty fun dude to have around.

Use your stupid dragon dash it makes you invincible to lasers. If you're ever spending an extended period of time not dragon dashing you are playing this game the wrong way.

Dr. Buttass posted:For real: this level didn't need to be four levels. It didn't even need to be two levels. They could have been just fine with it being one level. There's tripping at the finish line, and then there's trying to make it into a big Lifetime movie production where you inspiringly finish the race anyway Eh, I just see it as doing the Wily's Fortress thing.
