I think the collector is lame, but Reptile became the new vessel/reincarnation of the Dragon King Onaga and walked past the joint projectiles of Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, and Raiden as if they were water.

Such beautiful set pieces, character designs and enemy designs only for your playable avatar to look like…that. It also looks like a Metroidvania which is also a no go for me. 
Some design choices and art directions in games I just don’t understand.

Seriously wish the 8 bit character shit would die already. How can the rest of the game look so damn good and these fucks thought making the playable character look like shit was a good idea. Metroidvanias as a whole needs to go into hibernation and not wake up.

If anyone has been putting it off in hopes of a price drop.
yeah that’s an odd thing… the rest of that game La Mulana 2 (I didn’t even know there was a part 1) looks great…but the main character looks graphically out of place…it’s like an 8-bit character somehow starring in a 16-bit game world…that’s strange, in a bad way.

Tina Fey is ridiculously cute imo. Poehler not so much but I do find most things she’s in entertaining. I loved her cartoon “The Mighty B!” that was on nickelodeon. The voice cast for that show was great. Also I loved her when she played one of the twin siblings in Blades of Glory along side Will Arnett (her at the time husband)

In some cases (by all mean not all just some) these types of games are aiming less toward commercial appeal and more toward a vision of its creators.
It could be the head guys involved really loved the retro games from the NES and before and are trying to recreate something similar. It could also be that their budget is only so much, so to save on cash and development the detailed graphics went to static aesthetics and only certain bosses. In either case, the style worked well enough on the original which initially looked like a retro Pit Fall but was redone with this style of retro protagonist and 16-bit or above graphical flourishes.
I frankly have no interest but it seems a fun enough game for those that want the exploration platformer experience.

La Mulana isn’t a metroidvania.

It literally says it is in its description, bruv.
It’s a misleading description people slap on any 2D open world game to snatch up suckers and idiots who apply that term to again, anything open world and 2D.
It’s become a marketing term for the lazy.

Then that’s just deceitful and false advertising. Which is fucked up.
Like Nintendo calling smash a fighter in their eShop.
Also side note: I hate Chris Pratt but this gif is definitely one of the better reaction gifs out there.

Well I fucking hate the term for a reason. La Mulana series is a platforming and puzzle game…like heavy emphasis on puzzles. Platforming is also really important to due to fall dsmage. Its really really easy to fall too far and die.
Metroidvania barely have puzzles and never have fall damage, platforming was trivialized at the birth of the “metroidvania” because it inhibited exploration. No exp mechanics in La Mulana, no gear, list goes on.
This is almost tantamount to calling Deus Ex a DOOM clone.

Yeah. I can see that. Lol. Like I get annoyed when people call the Legend of Zelda series an RPG. I get why they would call it that and think it is one but it’s not.

Ever since I was a boy I called Zelda games actionRPGs.

I beat dmcv a few days ago and I really enjoyed it. Enjoyed the story, combat and the graphics. Capcom really did a good job on the animations in this game. I do see how people could complain about the later sections of the game looking samey. Actually going to attempt to try it on a harder difficulty to unlock more moves and get better. Having never really officially played DMC4 fully, when I got to Dante his move set and stuff he could do at any point was completely overwhelming! I’m a bit better now at it but I’m nowhere near fluid with him.
I really want to try Sekiro, watched a compilation of people who got the the ‘Woooo’ guy and found it hilarious.

Edit: fuck it I’ll just repost it since it kinda got burying due to topic hopping
