Since I guess we're talking about games with kickstarter backer OCs now, I was surprisingly impressed with how Valdis Story handled them. It's an extremely good metroidvania with a cartoony big-head style. You start off shipwrecked, and as you go through the game you can optionally find all the missing members of your crew, nearly all of which were named and described by backers. Two I particularly remember were a loner ninja named "Shadoboxxer" and a floating corgi with a top-hat who only speaks in barks named "Sir Pancakes." It sounds ridiculous, but their art and general presentation were so well matched with the rest of the game that I couldn't guess that they were backer-designed until I was almost done with it.

So you know how people make mods for Dark Souls where they replace the 'YOU DIED' text with something like 'git gud' or 'Thanks Obama'?

I'm probably wrong, but I don't think you're required to enter the room with the Imp in Privateer's Hold (the starting dungeon).

You are not wrong, but it's still a pretty crazy gently caress-you to new players for the starting dungeon to have an enemy that's immune to 90-100% of your weaponry depending purely on character creation choices you've long since made in a vacuum; I'm pretty sure you can't pick up a weapon that hurts it anywhere in the dungeon.



On a completely different note, I just learned about Final Fantasy Tactics 1.3. It rebalances a lot of classes, skills, and items, and adds new battles, skills, and :siren:recruitable cactuars:siren:

He also supposedly would have temper tantrums about cheating when people beat his supposedly unbeatable optional superboss, iirc.

And to think that when I noticed there was a separate download for a version which didn't affect the difficulty as much, I thought it was a sign that the creator just wanted people to be able to have more fun with a game he and I both liked. :sigh:

There are a few characters in FFT that are either broken-good or broken-bad; making them balanced against each other could make more choices viable and fun. Or getting rid of bravery-fuckery grinding while doing something else to make it unecessary, that'd be cool.

Other way 'round. There was a bug in TFTD where it would automatically revert to the easiest difficulty level after the first combat.

I always heard this about the original xcom. The story was this bug made everyone complain that the game was too easy, so microprose scratched their head and made tftd much harder, to the point that it sucked.

There's a badly-reviewed movie out now called Serenity starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. I'm mentioning this here because someone who watched it said there's an insane plot twist which makes it Nexus Mods The Movie. From what I can gather, the movie (which is marketed as a thriller and is in fact true for most of it) is set in a fishing video game the player has modded to include a sex and murder storyline.

Missed their chance to call it Funny Mods.

Alright, I got one that I think is good, but it needs a bad amount of explanation.

There's this 2D fighting game engine called M.U.G.E.N. You can make your own fighters for it! Not like an in-game character creation with face sliders and color palletes, I mean you can program your own fighter, and draw pixel art of every single frame of their every single move. People...sometimes do that, but more often they rip art and sounds from other games and program copies of those fighters, so you can collect them all into the ultimate crossover. Or they loosely modify them to make Peter Griffin or some poo poo.

You can get a real good idea of what a clusterfuck this is by looking at the twitch channel "Saltybet's Dream Casino": someone with an enormous collection of fighters who makes them endlessly fight (and you can bet fake money on it).

M.U.G.E.N. comes packaged with an example character, called Kung Fu Man. Pretty basic looking guy, karate gi, spiky hair, you've basically seen him before. He doesn't need to look good, he just needs well-commented code so people can see what a working character looks like.

Well, someone took Kung Fu Man, and used him to create Waka Moto Man: a character with the same artwork, badly broken special moves, and all voice clips being of japanese voice actor Norio Wakamoto.

Wakamoto has a distinct voice. Distinct enough that even people stupid enough to watch anime actually end up knowing his name, because somewhere between the first or second time they hear it, they ask "okay who the gently caress is that guy." It's deep, ranging from leathery to silky, steady to rapid fire. He likes to roll his Rs. He is, it seems, the guy you cast for completely operatically over-the-top roles. He's the guy you cast for evil warlords, or Megatron, or Dracula, or Lando Calrissian (?!), or whatever the entire gently caress this is. The man can make counting sheep sound like...well, like perhaps nothing else on earth.

I was only able to find one video of Waka Moto Man in action. What with the really loud background music, it's not a perfect showcase, though I have linked to a timestamp I consider a highlight.

uhh...I hope you can at least take my word for it that it's kinda funny and good.

You should play Doom, new or old, both are good.

I have played old Doom. Hence my familiarity with needing the blue key. It's a very uninteresting objective, and quite jarring in a game trying to give you an impression of an immense baroque black metal universe. It's mostly fine in Doom, because, hey, run around and shoot the demons, who cares, it's just a cool game. I felt the same way in quake, but then thought it was jarring in quake 2.

Does new Doom actually do the colored keys thing? Does new Wolfenstein do it? I'm concerned now.

You can have locked doors, backtracking, etc. Literal arbitrary color-coded keys/cards is super game-y. Not even necessarily bad, but clearly it undercuts the impression of a story or fictional space, unless you're making a Paranoia fps, then I'd be on board a million percent.

Don't forget that if a fight broke out in the den, it was possible to accidentally kill the invisible children with missed shots and explosives, still aggroing the town and getting you the Child Killer reputation.

They could also block doors! Targetable friendly npcs could be "shoved" if they happened to stop somewhere inconvenient, but not the invisible children.
