watching bmup gameplay is sort of an active activity. not really passive. Plus you usually need familiarity with teh specific bmup to really appreciate it.

Playing a modern action game feels like being the only actor in a play that actually rehearsed. Everyone else forgot their lines and doesn't give a fuck.

Someone could make a combo BAD of final fight thats just jab infinites and loops. But we are safe from that. No one plays final fight.

Matt matosis had a funny take. Devs had more freedom and games were in a better place when games weren't seen as art and were taken less seriously. But idk exactly how true that is.

Just my 2 cents: I don't think combat and exploring mix too well. I liked exploring in myst, outer wilds, and leap year. But then again I also liked elden ring. Fromsoft isn't scared of hiding cool shit.

Ppl don't see group fights as a valid challenge. They hate that shit. No I frame dash is another paint point. High halls was overblown. Took me like 3 tries.

yup. Other devs will likely not learn from the interesting multi-enemy boss fights of silksong since everyone complains about them.

the best strat is to stay near middle. So you don't need to quickly react to charge attack. But nothing explicitly pushes you towards that strat. This kind of fuzziness is rare in modern boss fights.

for your tastes, I would just recommend skipping straight to silksong. more interesting game. Has bosses with overlapping threats and even checkmate situations.

It's not a great situation but the pro strat is to make her soup no matter what she says. Then eat the soup yourself if she doesn't want it

two phase boss fights are bad. phase 1 is just a runback to phase 2

Modern action games make you FEEL like a finance guy who makes money from his money. Perpetual growth. They should feel like comedic Jackie Chan fights where you keep putting yourself in bad positions just to survive and you need to dig yourself out of those bad positions.

Sounds like they subconsciously realized that there's no real reason to do combos. Or they can't conceive of a game that would naturally encourage you to combo.

people need to realize that comparing genres and games is something good game designers do. Looking at things at a broad level is useful.

you could style in final fight. fight more enemies at once by scrolling the screen early.
