Hard to beat the inaraziki game. Lots of interesting characters and moments.

They tried to milk final fight and spikeout and it never took off. So they're free.....for now

The issue with monhun is it's completely unverifiable. Rpg stuff gatekeep the game.

One issue seems to be that ppl want to use burrow like a Dodge roll when it's more of a positioning tool.

Nice. Unfortunately ff1 arcade is the only good game in the series. Maybe the fg is good? Idk.

Fight n rage "unfair" mode, final fight, punisher, ninja warriors super famicon. Got 1cc in those. All solid. Working on sor2 mania now. Which is good in like a weird fucked up way.

Cody Travers fights to save his girlfriend. but that same fighting spirit lands him in jail..... We are simply agents of our compulsions. Those compulsions can be only be aimed, not suppressed.😔

its those gamer instincts that tell you to increase FOV to see more in an FPS. But foolishly applied to a platformer.

Funny that the ability to cancel animations is seen as a thing that adds depth. It can. But it can also remove depth.

I used to think bmups were uniquely underexplored/underdeveloped but actually a lot of genres are like that.

sor4 is better paced than hades though?? Even with a slower character like Axel.

watching bmup gameplay is sort of an active activity. not really passive. Plus you usually need familiarity with teh specific bmup to really appreciate it.

Playing a modern action game feels like being the only actor in a play that actually rehearsed. Everyone else forgot their lines and doesn't give a fuck.

Someone could make a combo BAD of final fight thats just jab infinites and loops. But we are safe from that. No one plays final fight.

i found the only arcade game that counts as art

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
Matt matosis had a funny take. Devs had more freedom and games were in a better place when games weren't seen as art and were taken less seriously. But idk exactly how true that is.

you got me interested in this game but then i see that its gacha💔

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 20/09/2025
Just my 2 cents: I don't think combat and exploring mix too well. I liked exploring in myst, outer wilds, and leap year. But then again I also liked elden ring. Fromsoft isn't scared of hiding cool shit.

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
Ppl don't see group fights as a valid challenge. They hate that shit. No I frame dash is another paint point. High halls was overblown. Took me like 3 tries.

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 14/09/2025
yup. Other devs will likely not learn from the interesting multi-enemy boss fights of silksong since everyone complains about them.
010
jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
the best strat is to stay near middle. So you don't need to quickly react to charge attack. But nothing explicitly pushes you towards that strat. This kind of fuzziness is rare in modern boss fights.
010
jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
for your tastes, I would just recommend skipping straight to silksong. more interesting game. Has bosses with overlapping threats and even checkmate situations.

It's not a great situation but the pro strat is to make her soup no matter what she says. Then eat the soup yourself if she doesn't want it

two phase boss fights are bad. phase 1 is just a runback to phase 2

*monkeys paw curls* we get more bosses like sodom in final fight. Where no one knows what the fuck to do.

Modern action games make you FEEL like a finance guy who makes money from his money. Perpetual growth. They should feel like comedic Jackie Chan fights where you keep putting yourself in bad positions just to survive and you need to dig yourself out of those bad positions.

Sounds like they subconsciously realized that there's no real reason to do combos. Or they can't conceive of a game that would naturally encourage you to combo.

people need to realize that comparing genres and games is something good game designers do. Looking at things at a broad level is useful.

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 06/09/2025
you could style in final fight. fight more enemies at once by scrolling the screen early.

jefftring.bsky.social @jefftring.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
one thing that makes the game more interesting is the achievement to beat the game in 15 deaths or less.
