megaman games seem short

platformer rng's are the most boring games ever

idk, dead cells has been successful with it

granted, it has a number of other mechanics going on that supplement the gameplay

@ßcuzzy more people got scammed by mighty no9 than bought mega man 11*

p much

dead cells is pretty good but i mean there are a million platformer rngs and most of them are the same fucking game over and over again

ya pixle art rng seem like 60% of the games on greenlight/kickstarter

does metroid count as one

yes

most games seem to be like that...the last few years have just been "Hey here's my rehashing of the same shit you've seen before but with one element changed"

art, music, wacky characters, wacky dialogue

most of them are like "its metroid, but with jetpacks

give me a new tribes game

this game was run n gun for the first quarter

that is the kind of FPS experience i want

platformer run and guns can be fun

metroid was cool in the 80s

it really was

but its a bit oversaturated in the indie scene at least

tribes ascend was supposed to be good but....hi-rez cannot make good games

but the vast majority of platformer rngs are not better games than metroid

ya

and metroid is not a game i would still play today

why can't indie devs in general make good games

super metroid was the last good metroid

they want to appeal to women, as a foundational idea for whatever project they undertake

so

what about prime

you're gonna get garbage

i think in general, ease of game publishing and development has lead to worse games across the board

indie, aaa

it's all garbage

but zero suit samus is an aryan queen

definitely true

ease of access tends to be the death of everything

we were better off when the barrier to entry was learning assembler for some new console architecture

lowest common denom production begins, everyone loses

or bitwise compiler optimizations for x86

making games used to be really hard
