My father-in-law is a Capcom dev. He is insanely gifted. We were playing Final Fight years ago and I asked him what it would cost to make a combat system with a limited moveset and hyper aggressive enemies today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

robots gotta be one of the goats for video game enemy design, there's so much crazy bullshit you can do with em
funny how out of all the bmups i've played, the ones whose enemy roster stood out the most are also the ones with the more limited movement and arsenal hmmm, what could this mean......
bit of a shame whenever ppl bring up crazy taxi it's mostly just to mention the music and visual which are really awesome but man, from a pure gameplay perspective it's just so well made and unique
y'know, something i wish modern wave-based games did more is find ways to make the end of a wave more interesting a common problem i have with these kinda games is as the wave dies down it gets kinda boring since you'll usually have like 1 fodder enemy running around that can't really pose a threat

some people say rock paper scissors isn't skill-based because the moves aren't telegraphed, but the truth is it's extremely skill-based it's THE "trying to get in your opponent's head and predict their moves" game
watched a certain youtuber's video on scoring and it just made me realize just how limited and narrow a lot of people's view on scoring systems can be like go play a game with good well implemented scoring systems instead of 2d mario and sonic PLEASE
i wonder why so many run n guns held back on any significant randomization so much i like a lot of the games in the genre but more randomized chaotic stuff like GnG is very much the exception rather than the norm
@boghogstg.bsky.social i started playing some bmups and i gotta ask any thoughts on captain commando? people seem to like it overall but i don't see much discussion surrounding it and are there any 90s home console bmups worth checking out, most of what i'm currently playing are arcade titles
started playing knights of the round and i'm actually surprised at this game's scoring system, it's pretty interesting and it also has a good parry/blocking mechanic? in a beat 'em up? wow!
@boghogstg.bsky.social ik this random as hell but didn't you make a post about "euro beat 'em ups" i can't find it anywhere
armed police batrider is very cool so far! really unique compared to a lot of other shmups i played
i wish more classic beat 'em ups had good scoring systems
just had a discord debate with a friend about whether arcade game devs when designing their games prioritized pro players who want to 1cc or newbies to eat quarters from was a fun talk, i ultimately STRONGLY leaned into the former but the other perspective was intriguing to hear
been thinking way too much about static elements vs rng ones in games particularly i wish there were more platformers with rng elements tied to em? ghouls n ghosts and spelunky scratch that itch very well but there's just not that much else i can find sadly
rather slow day so i checked out a bit of contra 3 the alien wars and also hard corps as my first contra games and, well...

i've been playing either elasto mania or ketsui these past couple days it has been very interesting
y'know, it's always good to revisit a game every now and then even if you didn't like it that much last time you played who knows, maybe you'll like it way more than you did last time
classic doom is one of those games whose quality can vary wildly at its worst it can be very rough, but at its best it's one of the most fun fps experiences ever oh how i love you...
