mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 26/08/2026So, like Item-2/Rush Jet, magnet beam, E/W Tanks, screen clears, time stoppers, shields, omnidirectional-firing weapons, chargeable weapons, flight/Rush armour, Beat, the item shop, and so on? Mega Man has always given you ways to trivialise the level design and enemies going back to the NES. 220
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I said AoE, but to be more specific I mean it's often applied to so many attacks a boss will do it before simply charging ahead in a straight line, or shooting a fireball or something. You only need to see most attacks once to understand how they work, they don't need this much over-telegraphing. 020
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 30/04/2026One trend that I'm not fond of that feels like this mentality is the increasing proliferation of "big MMO-style red floor warning zone before an AoE boss attack". It feels like a very lazy way to have an attack feel "fair" while not requiring the player to memorise the actual boss animations. 240
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 02/04/2026This might be one of the worst ways to say "I think the target demographic for ff16 is too old" I've ever seen. Has this guy ever actually seen an FF game? This article feels massively condescending towards kids and their intelligence in general unless it means exclusively extremely young children. 5230
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Man don't even get me started on the MTX discourse. It really felt like people were being willfully dense over that stuff. 131
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Dragon's Dogma 2 might be the only game where I've had people get genuinely upset at me just for saying I think it was good. Every time I've just said "i liked it" people spring up out of the dirt to assert that I'm actually wrong and it's an objectively bad game that besmirched the good name of DD. 241
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 03/03/2026His stance's major flaws are that it's naively focused on a creative and cultural stance more than the environmental destruction plagiarism machine part but it's a very anti AI narrative and not subtle about it. 030
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 03/03/2026He's not. The entire plot of the latest Touhou game is explicitly and bluntly about how AI is bad and a societal dead end. He felt that it was thematically relevant to make backgrounds for associated bosses with it, which I disagree with but at least you can see where he's coming from. 120
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 23/02/2026That's really great to see actually, thanks for telling me, I'll definitely check it out again. Normally "retro" options such as lowered resolution or crust filters don't bother me as part of the look and I'll keep them on, but something about Korn Kidz's implementation was a dealbreaker. 020
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Korn Kidz 64 is a pretty cool game except that it's hard coded to be locked to 30fps and taps out at sub 480p with mandatory vaseline filter. I found it visually miserable because my gameplay/visual experience was locked to the creator's CRT nostalgia. They can do that but I don't have to like it. 120
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Rosenkrantz's cleavage cutout was absolutely necessary to compete with Ashley. 020
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 07/11/2025I feel like Vagrant Story's art style distracts people from how absolutely bizarre Ashley's design is. He's got the big squiggly hair strands, the tiny not-shirt, his entire ass hanging out, the shorts, like what is going on with this man 140
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 13/09/2025I'm pretty bummed about it because I really don't want MP3-style self-contained areas with no interconnectivity, but now you have a big barren wasteland to drive through between islands of content instead of a level select. Best case scenario now is that it's a one or two zone gimmick. 030
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 17/08/2025Thinking about that part in episode two or three where Duo offers parts to repair the Wing, Heero refuses, and then shortly afterwards basically steals the parts he needs from Duo in the middle of the night which is totally pointless and antagonistic and says a lot about Heero and his mindset. 0114
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 14/08/2025I think one of the most obnoxious styles of writing villains is to have them just go "nuh-uh" to whatever just happened and have no real reaction to clearly just losing. See also: regenerating villains who get beaten up for twenty minutes then go "nuh uh didn't count" and undo the damage instantly. 010
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 21/12/2024It's a bit sad that they basically undid both of their major ideas (no i-frames and no XP), but that plus a lot of polishing did make the game hit Mostly Positive on Steam after a very rough launch. They also let you toggle the old roll by equipping an accessory, which I did for some bosses. 000
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 20/12/2024I think its core failing was still having conventional Souls enemy/boss design, but it didn't de-emphasise dodges or promote alternate options more than From's games, it just changed from "i-frame through" to "get really far away when you see them start to wind up". It looked pretty silly too. 210
mistmatch.bsky.social @mistmatch.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Bleak Faith tried having no i-frames on its dodge, but they had to back down and patch a conventional Souls roll in because their solution of "slow player with a roll that sends you really far really fast" was awkward, janky, and unpopular. I don't think it changed the gameplay flow enough either. 210
