Do you ever buy a good product in hope of getting more, or do you always just download for free and encourage devs to not give you more of what you want? The sega 3d classics on 3DS were excellent ports and these ports are by the same guys. We should support them to get more ports made, given the quality on 3DS and the hardware strength of Switch we might even get some quality shit they missed, like OutRunners for example. Not exactly shilling because not every sega classic was worth buying, but the possibility of more is out there and I think it would be worth supporting.

I think it was the fact that the official timeline is fucked. So much of it is just forced and weird because when they're making the games they aren't actually thinking about how it connects to the complete timeline, that's just implanted retroactively. So at a certain point you look at the spaghetti clusterfuck of pic related and realize it's not worth actually connecting every single game directly. Sure, there are games that are clear direct sequels to one another like Zelda 1/2 and OoT/MM/WW and so on, but when you have to make 4 different timelines and make up events that barely make sense when superimposed onto the oldest games to force everything to work together it's just out of hand and not worth worrying about at all.

It looks to me like the Wind Waker-based games really should have just been their own universe. It would have simplified things to "LttP and OoT are prequels to the original, while everything after is a sequel to Majora's Mask (except Skyward Sword)". The Capcom games might as well be non-canon like the CDi games.

Given Breath of the Wild, I don't think the developers really care too much about the timeline. There was one passing mention of Twilight Princess for people who care about the timeline shit, but the game was otherwise pretty stand-alone.

I rate water above air, because water has Bless, Prayer and Teleport which are all superb. Air has haste and dimension door. In combat, water is far superior. The only problem is that you're nearly guaranteed to get haste, but bless is less common as t1, and prayer and teleport are somewhat uncommon. Yeah, dimension door allows all kinds of fuckery, but it's rare.

Chain lightning and destroy undead are also really nice for random stacks, as well as disrupting ray.

Bless is kind of bad, bloodlust is better on average. I do agree teleport is nice, but kind of redundant in the late game since you have generally fast/flying creatures (even moreso with mass haste). You didn't mention clone, which is the only water spell I would really consider to be a major potential game changer, though having it on expert level doesn't really convey much of an advantage imo.

To add, this is still way better than what we've gotten from 99% of programmers, especially ones who are still working and own their own studio.
He's said several times that he has to be careful about what he shows, and doesn't show any unreleased stuff without contacting all the relevant parties to make sure they're OK with it. That's why he hasn't been able to show off some unused Sonic music he has - Sega said no.
It's great that he's shown off this much, given his high-profile.

This motherfucker gets it. The Saturn version had the better graphics, analog gamepad compatibility, and cooler special stages, but that fucking soundtrack, Jesus Christ. It was one of those "hey, let's just remix the fucking theme music for every fucking level" deals, completely unimaginative. And the composition itself was just fucking awful and didn't match the game at all. When the game came out BITD my reaction to the music was, and I quote: "It's like a it was made by a gay Broadway composer on prozac". And Spring Stadium's saturn music, holy FUCK is it shit.

Yeah, Rusty Ruin saturn version was pretty legit, but it was still an uncreative remix of the title theme, and like the rest of the game deviated from one of the sonic series trademarks; Quick, catchy pop compositions. Meanwhile, the genny version was not only excellent, but original AND stuck to the up-tempo pop music style. Also, the intro/Panic Puppet zone act 1 genny version is FUCKING LEGIT. So legit, it got a fairly decent remake in SA1.

If someone took the saturn version and slapped the genesis music into it, that'd be the definitive version hand's down.

Personally sometimes it feals like some of these games even surpass the games they are inspired by like i legit like Freedom Planet more than Sonic even sonic Mania and i legit like Shovel knight more than many similar NES games.
Althou some games such as Contra Hard Crops or Metal slug feel unsurpassed even today.
