"Zelda but with more focus on the action" is definitely what hooked me

ch*mp @doomdonuts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I've noticed that it's pretty true for any game with a dominant strategy. The Skyrim stealth archer meme comes to mind. Or all the kids that play through Pokemon games only using their starter, etc.

For what it's worth, I like it when you impotently have opinions at me.

I mean, is adding a shadow not a change? Maybe the developers, for some reason, didn't want the player to have a shadow? I just don't really see the difference tbh.

I think it's mainly just a matter of phrasing. "They should have done this" sounds more arrogant than "I would have preferred this."

someday you will play a game where the controls suck for a few hours until you get used to them, and it will be the best game you've ever played and you'll understand.

Because not playing a game that you would enjoy simply because the controls are outdated IS a bad thing.

For a remake, I like to do it just so the original is fresh in my mind. Gotta scrutinize every detail.

I hope it's soon. I think I'll get the game while it's on sale.

I think the difference is how they interact with the devs intentional design. Technical settings generally don't mess with the intent of the devs, whereas the modifiers in Mina do. Of course they added the modifiers for people to use them, but for people who want to change that intentional design.

Sure, for the people that want/need them. But you're also still designing a game with specific default settings in mind. That's the "intended" experience handcrafted by the devs. The modifiers exist for people who want to change that handcrafted experience.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the "intended" experience is to play without the modifiers.

Evangelion is so cool. Can't watch the short film because it's not being released outside of a film festival, but I still get spoiled because of shipping wars.

This is legit. Although I'm curious why gold and silver is so much lower than crystal.

I agree. In fact I think a lot of the recent criticisms with the Johto games disappear if you treat them as such. Obviously I get that not everyone likes to play games like that, but it's worth trying for sure.

Honestly I think gens 2-4, maybe 5 too, all fit with this design philosophy and I miss it.

I mean yeah I can't really judge either game, only the little bit of each that I've seen. I will say though the marketing of forespoken did not do it any favors.

I'm sure racism did play a part in why it became a punching bag, but idk man. I haven't played either game but the clips I've seen of forespoken seem way worse than the ones I've seen of dispatch imo.

How much does luck affect? Is it literally anything with a chance (like the Russian roulette ability in that clip)?

I know, I just mean it doesn't feel like it. The twitter algorithm shows you more hot takes and posts designed to drive engagement. The algorithm here just shows you posts that are from your followers or are from people your followers follow. Less rage bait, but kinda boring sadly.

As a test I just switched over to the discover page, and the first 10ish posts were almost exactly the same as my following page (including this one). So I'd guess it has to do with that.

Hence why we should keep all the cool names. Metroidvanias, rogue like/lite, doom clone/boomer shooter etc. Honestly we need more.

Plus there are a ton of video game genres that aren't descriptive at all. Platformer? Role playing game? Character action? Immersive simulator?

Except Metroidvania actually sounds good, and I'm sure that you could come up with a cool name for survival horror games if you wanted to. Don't be afraid of a little bit of culture 🙏

While I agree, I also think that the best games are ones that treat gaming as the iterative medium that it is and learn from past games as well.

Well they're communicating now. You can stop worrying about it. The game is coming out! Don't hold a weird grudge about it and potentially spoil your first time playing the game!
