I really like when people like Egoraptor review things because they can be really harsh but they also get really excited about the things whatever they’re reviewing get right. This lengthy but spot-on review of Mega Man Classic vs. Mega Man X is absolutely perfect and makes me want to look for a copy of X again, because he’s right, the game’s pathos and manners of conveyance are flawless. Video games have gotten distressingly condescending in the new 3D console market, and it’s nice to remember that there was a time of subtlety and that such a philosophy is not impossible in the medium.
Blah blah blah shut up Josh
This is long but if you’re into game design at all you should definitely watch this
“You get to feel the utter helplessness of being so weak as a player. You don’t have to empathize with a character on a screen, the feeling happens directly to you. So now you have true motivation as a player. You want to defeat this asshole you couldn’t even damage and you want to do it by becoming as strong as Zero.”
YES YES YES. This is why Morrowind and STALKER are my favorite games. You feel helpless at the beginning and it makes the game so much more satisfying.
