moonside is ANNOYINGLY OVER TALKED ABOUT and no first time experience can counteract that. i can see why someone would call it overrated for sure
the dungeons are kind of always a low point for me. the sewer dungeon where you fight bugs and wade through mud suck, i always forget the Stonehenge dungeon exists so it sucks. the pyramid has interesting hard fights so i like it
BUT HELL NO JASON THE DUNGEON MAN MUSIC RULES
The Dungeon Man music is A GREAT JOKE TAKEN TOO FAR WHEN PUT ALONGSIDE DUNGEON MAN’S OTHER ANNOYANCES
WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD METAPHOR FOR EARTHBOUND’S LATTER THIRD AS WHOLE, COME TO THINK OF IT
its not even a joke its just good. it is a song i would listen to if it had nothing to do with earthbound
No, see, that would be a preferable way to experience it! I like it great in that context! But it’s the back-and-forth between scalding cups of coffee on the one hand and trying to navigate Cave Innards to that music on the other that makes it just a little bit agonizing.
dungeon mans innards are fun to navigate but hot coffee burns do hurt. coffee is DANGEROUS
thank you for not talking shit on mr saturns i dont know if i could take it
My only problem with Mr Saturn is that they set the bar too high for the Tenda later on, so the latter just feel like poor also-rans in a game already overflowing with novelties.
The dungeons are earthbound’s weakest element but they’re so short and easy for the most part that they’ve never really bugged me. The only one i really hate is the diamond mine, because it’s actually kind of tough.
i like them when they’re tough
i always manage to lose jeff in the mall in moonside
Threed’s the weakest section of Earthbound
I like Dungeon Man a lot
Actually feel like after Threed the game steadily improves to the end
So, first two towns are great, sudden massive dip in quality, and then steady climb back up in quality
Wow none of the John Madden doesn’t work on the m2 emulator. Glad I went with Hackchi I guess.
here’s the lunar compatibility list, most stuff works
i been playing block’hood. it’s charming looking block based citybuilder with a fierce spreadsheet optimization game underneath. also it has a part where a pig crests a hill and says ‘hey dudes’. extremely my brain shit
was really excited about this in early access then forgot about it, like that parallel train game
I am happy for you
I did my usual semi-annual test to see if my tree city still works. Raiden Fighters 2 and Jet, followed by Guwange arrange mode.
Yep, still works.
Now, really, would it kill m$ to release a patch so I can play all those xblig dollar games I bought without having to go online? Sucks to have to string cable down from the attic just because they were too cheap to include the wifi dongle and I wanna play prismatic solid or w/e.
somehow my january game backlog this year has turned into The Aimlessness Collection, like I’m concurrently noodling on Pathologic 2, Death Stranding, and 10 Beautiful Postcards, and I think that may all be a bit much
Been playing Project Mirai on 3DS and just finsihed all the songs on Easy. It’s a rhythm game where the option to play Puyo Puyo with the boys and girls of Crypton Future Media is more prominent in the game menus then the rhythm game itself. I at first thought all the interaction you could do with the Vocaloids were just little distractions until I noticed that there are in-game achievements for becoming friends and best friends with them all. No clue how much secret depth is actually here!
Been getting a lot of catchy tunes stuck in my head
The cute songs seem to fit the Nendoroid style best. I think there was an implied beheading in one of the music videos though? Not like I can understand much since none of the lyrics are translated. The character models in this seem more expressive then what I’ve seen of in Project Diva.
I think the issue is that after F 2nd had translated lyrics, everyone and Sega realized that they’re nice but actually trying to look at them while playing is a bad time
odds are good the song(s) you care about are on YouTube with a translation anyway
