I hate this take so much. I have been a good person all of my life, went out of my way to think of others and their feelings, never been in trouble, always followed the rules, worked hard to get to where I am at, and you're telling me that I deserve this bullshit? Makes it all feel so worthless to have dedicated my time and energy for something that apparently no one else can even muster sympathy. Fuck man.

Oh, yes. Those 2nd amendment morons always forget we don't have just muskets and cannons anymore. Your little AR rifle, and realistically, any other weapon you can even conceivably get your hands on, is NOT going to stand up against a military machine gun in the current era. They don't NEED those machine guns though, because they will, as we said, just bomb your stupid ass from however many thousands of feet in the air, while they laugh at you for even thinking you were going to do something.

I'm tired too, friend. I was staunchly in it to keep things going awhile longer while everyone was getting their shit together, but the war is lost now, and honestly? I don't really plan on making it out alive.

Too many morons lived through the dark times of his first term, saw the horrible things he did and said, saw how unfit he was for any office position at all, among many many MANY other matters that would prevent a normal person from running, and still chose to vote for him. By a majority this time, no less. I.. think I'm done.

I've been saying the same damn thing to all those who said something about a civil war. What are your peashooters to a fucking unmanned drone, controlled from hundreds of miles away, that will bomb your ass????

People also have the memory of a fucking brain dead goldfish, and don't even have the mental capacity to realize that Trump's tax plan is what we are currently under, and have been under, since Biden took office.

Elongated Muskrat can flub the numbers all he wants, and he does.

Twitter is dead, and has no power any longer.

Lost cause anyway then. Fuck them.

I also feel like Ultimate is the pinnacle of the formula. Besides the mods that people are making for it, you just can’t get better than Ultimate in my opinion!

I think part of that is also that KH3 actually sucks compared to KH2, and even KH1 in some areas. Yeah, KH3 is flashy, but the story beats were just awful compared to the previous numerical games. I still haven’t played through the plethora of tie in games, simply because I think the director lost the fucking plot after KH2.

Opera browser? The one that everyone was making a stink about a few years ago? The one owned directly by a Chinese based company, and was supposedly sending telemetry to China?

Why the hell would anyone still be using Opera???

I hope that my previous comment did not come of any way negative! I'd say that I'm rather bad about getting my thoughts across the web, unfortunately. I took no offense to your comment at all, and I apologize if I did come of that way.

See, I'm not even really into it for the story either! I know there is one, and I do digest the hints they've given along the way, interact with every character until they start repeating the same lines, and I always try to make sure to check every nook and cranny I can to not miss anything. I've just gotten past the Forest Golem, and all I know now is that the Wand is in the King's Tomb, and that's what I need to find next. I'm actually about to boot it up right after this comment!

Your opinion on beating it legitimately isn't wrong, by any means, I think you're right. The reason I included the controls snippet is to mention there is still a way to play for the people like me, or to someone with less patience for such a game. I did mention it wasn't the correct way to play, and would put the enemies at a disadvantage. My main goal was to provide a means of entry for those that hear it's so sluggish and has horrible camera controls (for someone in 2024, anyway).

I'm sorry to hear about you and Kira. I have never interacted with a game developer before, so I can't really comment on that too much, unfortunately.

I think they can provide limitations while still making it accessible enough for someone who has never played a King's Field game before, or even someone who can't move their hands/fingers like another person can. I played the original Resident Evil games, and the new remakes even though they are not really my types of games. I thought they were both very good in their own rights. Sometimes the camera angles had more intense moments, and sometimes the over the shoulder view had more intense. While I see your point about changing the core of the game, and what games like Crow County are trying to recreate (on my Steam wishlist already!), it isn't always a bad thing to change the games up. Seeing what they were able to accomplish on the PS1 is impressive, and seeing the same game (albeit refreshed in some ways) through a new lens is also interesting. I guess I just look at them as they are and what they are. They're each their own entity, and I just go off of that. I've never heard of Hollow Body before, so I'll look that up while I boot King's Field up!

I can see that you do, and as a newcomer to the series, I can see why! I have always found that having more people to talk about a game with is more fun than it disappearing into obscurity and only lauded by a few who gave it a chance, even with what most would call some issues! Try to look at it this way, there will always be people like you who want it to be the purest version of a game they love, and that's perfectly good! Allowing others to join in on that fun, and letting the love for the games/series grow is also a good thing. Look at Elden Ring. It is the purest form of Dark Souls mechanics, while also introducing loads of new and exciting things. More people played Elden Ring, thanks to previous games achievements, and the fervent fan base it has garnered. That is awesome! While the combat may not be as hard as Demon's Souls was (it can be, but I feel like the older games were a bit harder, but maybe I just got better?), more people are able to play it thanks to the refinement and additions!

If FromSoftware were to revisit the King's Field games, I know they would only improve upon, not tarnish, the series and allow new comers to play and enjoy it like they did with Elden Ring. :)

In the mean time, there are a few games I have wishlisted that will hopefully scratch that itch when I finish these games. Dead Wells, Mohrta, Verho, and Fiend's Isle were the ones that seemed to get the closest! It's such a niche genre, I hate that it's not more popular!
