The more Wayforward talks about Ducktales Remastered, the less it sounds like the type of game I wanted.
I have no proof to substantiate this, but somebody told me they heard the game got focus-tested to hell and the kids they tested with had a real hard time understanding the original game. One of the developer diaries definitely sounds like they've streamlined and linearized it.
Which... I mean, that's almost like streamlining and linearizing Super Metroid.

Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but I thought Fusion and Metroid Prime 3 turned out just fine!
"HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR SECRET HQ?!"
What the fuck?
Was that unmodded Brawl?
EDIT: Nvm it's modded somehow lol.
I need to show this to my brother who's a Snake main, and fuck MK.

FFXIII fans must love it then.
God dammit I almost went a whole day without talking about that game.

I've pretty much stopped talking about XIII and specifically LR. I've probably hated enough on it so it's far more relaxing not to even bother with it

I saw you say this elsewhere, but watching the playthrough of Transylvania at E3, they didn't break the game up into segments or anything, it still had the Metroid structure to it. What they did, to my understanding, was give players a reason to visit all the areas of a stage (beyond just money/high score, which isn't enough of an incentive for many people these days). It's basically forcing people to work through the whole level, instead of just taking shortcuts and missing big parts of them.
They whole thing in the documentary about breaking it up into three areas I believe was meant artistically, as in "We've designed the look of each level", not that they made them into linear chunks. I think the game also does fading transitions between certain sections, like the mine cart tracks and the castle proper, but I don't think they cut it up into nothing but straight lines.

(Whoops, Double Post, forgot I replied a bit ago.)
There's a point where it becomes DBZ. Amazing.
(And anyone who just writes this off as "just a TAS" is completely ignoring the knowledge, work and skill involved.)

Sorry to almost triple post, but wow... really nifty mod for Generations:
Dynamic White World effect in stages
They really should've found a way to fit this into the game, even if it was just for a special segment, the last boss fight, something.

This is dang awesome. Too bad it looks kind of too taxing on GPU for the console versions.

I finished streaming Time and Eternity for some of you fine folks.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Man, that mod looks sweet.

This is exactly what I'd envisioned Sonic Generations to be like. Exactly.

Now we understand why JRPGs are "dying"! It didn't have enough Tea Parties!

Well now you all have got me curious to see what a trainwreck of a game it is. I heard a long time ago it was supposed to be a masterpiece that would save JRPGs.
edit: one minute in... kill me.

qq more likes to call it Tea Parties: The Game.
I like calling it Palette Swap: The Game. Because even the main character is a palette swap.

Probably accurate.
He's also a big pervert :V
Well, yeah, that's the thing. So far he's just a brainless horndog. Typical shit anime protagonist. Great. Why does she even want to marry this guy? Why should I care if he dies?
If she can freely time travel why doesn't she just go back a day and get a couple royal guards to attend the wedding and deal with the six assassins?

Are you trying to apply logic to this anime game?

Tales actually has better writing than this.

Clearly we should pretend to not understand qq more until he ingests a really sour babbleberry.

I swear that you guys were paying more attention to the story than I was. Even qq more knows the names of more of the characters than I do.
I zoned out half the time until we got to the part where the conversations started looping. Even the conversations are palette swa--*shot*.

I suppose you were just too focused on that deep and intricate battle system to pay attention to the in-battle dialog! :V
Dark Schala

I didn't even realize that there was in-battle dialogue until you guys mentioned it.
"Deep and intricate battle system". Noi was asking me yesterday whether I liked not being able to cancel an attack into a dodge or block or not.
I liked how they seemed to have given me a large battle arena, but I was only able to move on a line towards the enemy. That flip kick animation takes way too much time. And I liked how all of the palette swaps had the same attack pattern. That was neat. I heard even the spells were palette swaps of each other.

Palette swapped spells? That's almost impressive in how lazy it is.

What kind of Chaos are they counting down to? Chaos Control? Chaos Time? The Chaos Dimension? The Chaos chain of chili dog shops?

Not sure I'm digging the new looks, myself.
Surprised they even gave Nicole a redesign. I rather liked her old one.

Bunnie's new look is nice. I kinda like it. But that's just on the cover. Wonder how it's gonna flow in the comic proper.
I've missed these kinds of covers too. I liked when the Knuckles comics did it.
Wait, you guys legitimately want me to stream the whole thing? Haha. I was thinking of keeping a save for a legitimate playthrough (that was the first save you saw until I decided to start the other playthrough), so I'll probably keep count.
Gotta save JRPGs somehow on a budget.

The Knuckles covers were awesome. I remember thinking that one set of covers with Enerjak looming in the background was the coolest thing.
It's as much of a trainwreck as Sonic 06 is if not worse. I have to see the game while being disgusted by it throughout the whole thing.
Same, but if I'm smart I won't watch it or else I'll end up buying it to see how bad it is first hand.
