Can't say about the game, but the anime adaptation had one. Especially the second season, taking part after... stuff happens.

Metroidvania never meant anything to me.
Just call it a 2D action adventure game and be done with it.

It means that there's areas that's obvious you'll have to return to because you don't have the equipment/skill to proceed when you firs reach them.
Also upgrades/power ups.
Haven't played the VN but have watched the anime. I can vouch for it, the story is extremely effective at pulling at your heart strings.
I still can't listen to songs in the OST without immediately feeling a deep sense of melancholy.
Also yea the artstyle isn't super great but it's well worth looking past that for the story.

But maps, inventory, RPG elements
I think Action-Adventure is good enough for that. People can figure out quick if it has a map like Castlevania or Metroid on their own.

God I loved SR3 customization.
I must be missing something here, but why are you arguing in favor of removing specificity from genres (or sub-genres I guess)? If you boil it down, 90% of games fall under either action or action-adventure, but that tells you basically nothing about a game.
I mean sure, you could "figure out quick" that a game was in first person, and that it prominently features shooting, but it's just a lot easier to talk about games when you can just call it a first person shooter.
I still don't understand why we don't call platformers Mario-likes
Where's Lightning Returns
SRSLY. Also on the genres, we should phrase all JRPGs in relation to Lightning in some matter. Maybe Lightningesque or Warrior Goddessian.
Lightning is love.

Did you see the SF5 specs thread?
Capcom's PC release (bar DR3) have all been great and run really well, so SF5 will run great too.
Speaking of which 2 weeks til new character reveals for SF5 @o@

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Show me the game that controls like Mario and we'll talk.
Rayman fans get punched in the dickhole.

Cuz people are too lazy to sit down and decide what Zelda's genre actually is.
It's adventure game, as it involves exploration and puzzle solving etc.

If Zelda's an adventure game what does that make Space Quest?
Monkey wrench!

It's hard for me to exactly specify what I mean. Like phrases eventually lose their meaning as they keep getting tacked on to to games that don't really need them. Like we already have people that use roguelikes as "you lose stuff when you die" and then call the entire game that. I just feel like in the case of Metroidvania some people might go into it thinking "Oh it's like Castlevania or Metroid and there will be a bunch of items and stuff" when in fact the game might not have many or any upgrades but maybe sometimes you have to go back to open a door on this 2D gird based map.
I think some of these terms invoke stuff that isn't entirely true. You could make the argument that the established genres (FPS, RPG, RTS etc) aren't set in stone either though.

I know man I know.
Problem with some of these companies is that they forgot what got them where they are
Okay, I get that. I'm definitely with you on roguelikes, and I don't think Metroidvania is really a great name for those types of games, especially when it seems to be applied so liberally. If you are going to invoke the Metroid comparison, it should actually have Metroid style exploration, and not just some occasional backtracking.

Huh. I didn't realise Microsoft pushed an update that killed Safedisc/some Securom stuff on platforms other than Windows 10 this month. I even have it installed.
...Meh, oh well. Not like I'll miss that DRM; affected games just got in the crossfire.

Thank you.
Screenshots were surprisingly hard to come by, I welcome any new screenshots with open arms.

Next batch of WEBMs will be in CODE just this once wanted them to be seen embedded XP
Gave in and pre-ordered Steam ver. for $39ish yesterday
And with the things and advances in technology all the improvements they could do to previous IPs and move them forward is kinda frustrating to see them just do the soul series over and over like the Armored Core games. It will get to a point where people will get tired of it and what other things will be there to back them up since at least Armored Core had some games on the side.
Lost Kingdoms
-Full fledged World to explore
-Colosseum to fight against other players and trade. (The MP was my shit on my gamecube days) -Combat pacing could be faster.
-Monsters having more fleshed out moves, better AI and more aggro when you are fighting against them
-More card combinations
-Secret areas and side quests
-Main character can have defensive maneuvers and basic attacks when you run out of cards.
-60fps
The first game runs at 60fps and it runs flawlessly on Dolphin. You could buy a copy from ebay and rip it on a wii and then play on the emulator. Lost Kingdoms 2 doesnt have random battles but cuts the framerate to 30fps to handle the seamless battles. (I think maybe I could use a code to make it run at 60fps on dolphin tho but not too sure yet)
Get on it bruh.
Oh for sure. I'd have been a lot happier with even a SF3 style roster, full of newbies. Still, I'd take Juri over Vega or Ken (even if releasing a SF game without Ken would instantly bankrupt Capcom or something).
Maybe G2A is becoming a legit site

What is wrong with G2A?
I sell my stolen keys to them every day and never had a problem.

I am obviously joking
When they remove option to sell keys on their site, remove Shield Protection, add publishers on their page, make publishers go publicly and tell that they are partners, remove Blizzard games. Then maybe I can tell they becoming legit.

It is in the beginning. You have to use checkpoint at a certain stage of learning the game imo, to get familiar enough with the last worlds to consistently clear them in Iron Man and Hell runs. As you start getting better, short cuts are ofc pointless because you start with a huge disadvantage.

I got it on my htpc, sup?
If you're asking if you can refund a particular item in a package (e.g. Portal in the Portal + Portal 2 bundle), the answer is "No."
As I wrote some weeks ago, here in Italy The Games Machine, the biggest PC magazine at the moment (it's on the business from 27 years) gave away G2A coupons in their magazine with each copy of it.
This doesn't mean G2A is legit, but it's a fact and it represents another big entity doing a partnership with G2A.
