there's a painting in the new 8-bit bloodstained game that does the same thing lmao

the only stage i don't really like in that game is jewel man's, because of that one jump off the swinging platform that's a rookie death trap. and even when you know about it, it's still really easy to fuck it up and graze the spikes and die. pretty bullshit tbh.

this applies to like 3 separate moments in that level so you'll have to specify

tbh the levels are tolerable once you've memorized all the little bullshit traps, but it feels impossible to enjoy them the first like 5 times you try them

there's the grabby guy in galaxy man's stage who drops you over a pit of spikes which will kill you unless you're holding right

there's the flying scissors in hornet man's stage that appear so suddenly that you have to memorize them

there's the fucking things that jump out of the pits in concrete & jewel man's stages that WILL kill you on your first try

there's all the tiny different timing challenges to memorize with the rotating platforms in tornado man's stage, with every failure meaning death

there's the 7000 disappearing blocks to memorize in plug man's stage etc. etc.

either i'm just sick of mega man and everything bothers me now (probably true) or there's an overabundance of stuff like this in the game. you say this game is supposed to be an "homage" to mega man 2, but i'm scanning back through those levels and most of them are relatively pretty simple and free of bullshit. it's like inti creates just played quick man's and heat man's stages and said "let's make THE WHOLE GAME like that."

again, all those examples are obstacles shown to you first so you see what's going on.

bullshit cheap, and just hard are two very different things, and I feel you're mixing the 2
-The pendulums - you platform on like, 3 or 4 of them before the tough jump with spikes on the walls, you should know how the momentum works
-the grabby guy - 1 grabs you and drags you completely free of danger, so the game is telling you, hey, this is something to look out for
-the scissor guys - when they come into screen, they don't immediately go straight for you, you have time to react and dodge, or shoot
- the pit enemies - don't really have an argument for that, it's a very classic MM trap, since the beginning
- the disappearing blocks - I still say Heat Man's was worse, and this is also in every other game

to be clear, I'm not trying to invalidate your criticisms, but I simply wanted to provide my arguments as to why I believe it's not BS.

take it or leave it

wii shop channel is shutting off the ability to purchase points in 2 days

sh!t, in my depressive stupor i totally missed out on buying a few games that were exclusive to the wii sh!t channel

like that castlevania title that i guess now i'll have to pirate

[Kalahari Inkantation]

eBay has yet another coupon today. So I bought the Salamander Deluxe Pack on Saturn

DUDE that is literally the only reason i want a saturn lol

the only reason i'd want a saturn is for the panzer dragoon series :'(

it's a shame that that's a particularly difficult console to emulate because it has like 11 cpus lol

fighting the robodinos is pretty fun at first but gets old after a while
visuals are good
story and characters are whatever
7/10 it's fine
