In the off chance that he actually sees this and does do a King's Field challenge run (do it, Lemon, the Content Gods demand it, lol), I think it's worth pointing out that you can run all of the King's Field games with mouse and keyboard through emulators with a program called Mouse Injector. It works in Duckstation (PS1), Retroarch, and PCSX2 (PS2) and while it's not 100% perfect and it's a little wonky to set up, it's still infinitely better than controlling the camera with the shoulder buttons.

I feel like the problem with the facial animation is that they are super highly animated and emotive, but the rest of the body is still completely unmoving. So as a result you get this weird uncanny valley effect since you have a head that's hyper expressive and bouncing around as it talks grafted on top of what might as well be a mannequin for how little the body moves or emotes.

@goreobsessed2308 5 ай бұрын

Curiously, a read a review from a friend on Steam for Horizon: Zero Dawn just a couple of hours ago, exactly about uncanny valley. And I think both of you are right on the money: (...) Last but definitely not least... (actually, this is my biggest gripe with the game) Horizon Zero Dawn is the most acute case of "uncanny valley" I've ever personally witnessed. The game just looks...... wrong. The bit in the intro where we get to play as child-Aloy was particularly sickening to me. Her model just looks... unnatural. The characters are constantly twitching in ways humans just don't and the changes from animation to animation in conversation can be very abrupt. It's like they tried to add a ton of subtlety and variety to the movements but there is actually too much and they don't connect naturally? It made me super uncomfortable to the point where I started to actually avoid dialogue. Which is a bit of a shame because I've been told that the story in this game is actually pretty decent.

Interesting enough, DS3 technically also cuts your HP if you're not human 'AKA embered', but instead of being a visible, set begin with, effect, it's hidden, and the health is 'given' when you kill the tutorial boss of that game. It's a interesting concept to keep a so-far staple mechanic, but trick players brains to view it as a reward rather then a standard formula of hardship... Honestly a unique little thing about our brains. Plus, I think seeing you challenge kings field and shadow tower, would be super cool actually.. a little YTber going by blinge did a magic only kings field (1-3) and a gun only shadow tower, truthfully hard and fun challenges, but Goodluck getting your hand on those games lol but you should be fine, hell you did potato only salt and sanctuary, I believe you can handle the pain of those two games.

@dretadel 5 ай бұрын

DS3 is also balanced to have your non-Embered health be decently playable as well. Demon's Souls balances it around your full health and says "you get half now, fuck balancing"

You know, Lemon, it occurs to me that there are 2 games you probably haven't heard about that have the ability to deal fire damage/ use firebombs aplenty that would fit your patience idea greatly. Granted, those games are also CRPG's of 60+ hours each, so it would likely be longstanding projects, but still. The first is Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous, there you can play as an infuser, a class that specializes in using specific types of energy damage (like fire) and one of the abilities that class unlocks is the ability to create a bomb of their chosen infusion element (fire) The 2nd game is Rogue Trader, there you can pick a Sanctioned Psyker to be able to use Pyrokinesis, your first unlocked ability is literally the ability to set your enemies on fire, with more fire abilities you can unlock later, including abilities that encourage you to set YOURSELF on fire. The game also has fire grenades and fire weaponry in the form of flamers (literal flamethrowers) and plasma guns because liquid fire is still fire.
