videogame things you think about a lot

the look of that one reminds me a lot of legendary axe, a tg16 game that was weirdly a huge part of my childhood that i never hear anyone talk about anymore

Legendary Axe was amazing for the time. It was really big in my childhood too. I blame the lack of a mascot character for the lack of nostalgia for it now. It was all about DOING cool stuff, not about BEING a fun little dude.

I remember the bears! I don’t know if I ever even got as far as the rock. I don’t even remember how I acquired the game but I played that first level a lot. That and Keith Courage both have such a weirdly malevolent aura.

Titanfall things not copied by anyone or carried over into Apex:

  • elimination match epilogue
  • physical momentum-based wall running
  • double scale infantry/mech map
  • animations never leave first person
  • “burn cards” as stochastic rubberbanding
  • AI mobs in PvP
  • Star Fox radio drama in multiplayer (lol ok ok)

I have to pretend Titanfall never existed to like Apex at all it’s such a bummer

I used to feel the same way about Chrono Trigger’s on-map nonrandom battles. And then later about FFX’s UI that tells you the next 5 characters who will act

I think it’s relatively common in SRPGs (HoMM3, PSP version of Tactics Ogre: LUCT has this, as well as Brigandine: Legend of Runersia, probably more) but not as often as it should in more ‘regular’ party based JRPGs.

Legend of Heroes games do the turn look ahead and evade-able enemies on the ground.
