wow im constantly doing this irl actually
whatâs the point of video games if I canât consensually smooch an orc
homestuck game in the shadow of war engine: you can kiss the trolls OR make them your nemesis
Imagine the hierarchies you could make if you just embraced love instead of war!
sounds like some of you should have given these choice words to Warner about 2 years ago
Dear Ghost Warrior Guy,
Bet you canât kiss us all. We are out there waiting for surprise smooches.
- The Orcs
Game Workshopâs big chance to jump in with a game where the orcs want to MWAAAGH!
No one is competent to speak fluent Warner, itâs not a language fit for the human brain
how the kill the past games are barely thought of as having âgame designâ and how far from true that is, and how killer7 feels like a perfect collision of goichi sudaâs game design and shinji mikamiâs.
and how grasshopper seemingly abandoned that style from no more heroes on, losing what made them cool formally in the process to create a bunch of action games in the 2010s that are âstylishâ but to no particular consequence.
Big shellâŠ
Thereâs a whole thread for these!
Well! I was starting to think I was the worldâs only person who liked the game, but I just found perhaps the worldâs only other huge fan of Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and itâs (of course!) Bennett Foddy
One thing itâs making me reconsider is my idea of making an indie game inspired by Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Of all my shower ideas itâs the only one that hasnât been done to death in the years since I first had it. (The new wonder boy remake series is spiritually totally unrelated.)
But Iâve been discouraged from touching it from the fact that Iâm the only one who likes the game, and Iâve never been able to convince anyone to give it a chance. In that case, it seemed logical I wouldnât find any audience for a new version either.
But Bennettâs taste has the Midas touch with respect to taking something almost nobody likes and making it into a popular game that startles everyone with its freshness. So if he likes it too, maybe there is something to the idea. Maybe all it really needs is a style switch away from generic knights-and-dragons fantasy.
I fucking love Wonder Boy in Monster Land, I was trying to 1CC it a few years back in Switch, I actually love that bug (?) that gives you more gold if you wiggle the stick. I mean maybe I wouldnât love actually doing that input all the time but being able to map it to a button rocks, game rocks, reviving the weird arcade action RPG would be so fucking bad ass
All I can say is that I also like it a lot itâs good
not really a game thing but iâve been obsessively thinking about umd movies for the last couple of days
just imagining someone who was really, really enthused about the platform
i knew a guy in high school who had a little case strapped to his bike that carried a psp and a bunch of umd movies⊠that idea has really stuck with me through the years
also of all things oldboy came up in conversation a few weeks ago and @zombieman000 was like âoh i havenât seen that but i do have it on umdâ and that was about the funniest thing i ever heard
