That’s Metroid

 

Gotcha. I was considering buying it but think that would annoy me too much

 

Get gud. I hate save points too, we're supposed to be better than this.

 

Heh, I also hate how older Zelda games take you to the beginning of a temple if you save and exit. Makes me glad NSO lets you create save states in Windwaker

 

Old school gaming was the way it was because of technological limitations and we should never ever forget that or confuse it with a "retro style". It sucked then, it sucks now, along with not having a map, random battle encounters, and I'm just going to say it, turn-based combat.

 

can't be having you talking about turn-based combat like that Penlab, that's the GOAT combat style right there

 

No. It's boring and takes way too much time clicking through menus. I just want to hit things. Let me hit things, Tides. Let me be free.

 

to speak ill of turn based combat in the year of Expedition 33 is a wild choice, Pen.

 

I tell truth. I'm sorry it had to be this way.

There's a reason I cheated in all the Trails games to skip over the combat.

 

but the Trails combat is so GOOD, I can't believe this

 

I have things to do, Tides.

 

Penlab is like "I am way too busy for turn based combat" while having players logs for every Leisure Suit Larry game

 

Yeah Dustin, I'm writing a log after I beat the game, not after every dumb joke.

 

Click "Like" on my post please it was funny and good

 

I don't like RPGs for the combat. Never have, never will. I am not a tactician. I beat Elden Ring by having a doppelganger distract everyone while I ground pounded them like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

I like story, characters, a world, exploration, discovery. In fact, I'd sooner just have an RPG with no combat whatsoever.

 

I'll compromise and like this one.

 

I'll take it and recognize it as an endorsement of my original

 

It is funny because I'm not a fan of what I will call "menu gaming" which I don't think is the same in any real way but I guess I'd put it in a similar category to an ATB system in let's say FF7. It only really comes up when I consider "could I speedrun x game?" and I think yeah maybe I could navigate the map/do the fights/etc and breeze through it but what makes me not want to do it is when there's minutia in menu optimization which does feel very similar to like, speeding through a text menu for turn based combat? But idk I'm just happier with the process and result of turn based combat

 

You're just built different, king.

 

As the resident Fire Emblem nerd I am observing this conversation but not engaging.

 

Ha! I get it. Cause of Engage, right?

 

OKAY about this!!!

i've often wondered; inspired by VaatiVidya, mossbag, and all the lore-tubers who act as historians for the in-universe lore in Souls titles- i think it'd be an interesting idea to make a game where you're basically doing what they do, scouring the land to find information abt ancient societies
what if you made Elden Ring but without the combat, focusing on finding and piecing together the details of what happened [X] years ago in some land

might actually be boring as fuck to play, but some of these games have such compelling lore i can't help but think it might be interesting

 

I've had an idea in the back of my mind for a game kinda sorta like this and I have other details but I'm saving em in case I ever meet someone who would be capable of making it lmao

 

This is basically Outer Wilds, yeah?

 

Also sounds a lot like Return of the Obra Dinn at a grander scale
