Does Cave Story deserve the praise it gets?

>>383473103
Yeah, I think so. It's pretty neat.

i played it last year and didnt enjoy it halp, is the game that short??

It's a solid platformer that is better designed that most AAA titles made by one man, who isn't a huge ass hole and/or arrogant, and given out for free. Yes.

>>383473103
meh. pirated it, played it for about 2 hours, got bored. it is pretty overhyped

>Does Cave Story deserve the praise it gets?
no, after playing it,
it's a 7/10 mediocre game.
fucking /v/ is memeing a game up again because it's the cult's favorites.

The physics of the game is weird and it takes a long time to get used to. There is also a lot of backtracking to pad contents, and the cryptic true ending is bullshit.

That said, yes, it does in fact deserve the praise it gets. Japanese indy games just didn't have any fame before Cave Story did. They were lucky if they sold a couple tens of thousands of copies at comiket. Pixel made this happen because he was a humble person, he just wanted people to enjoy his creation. If it were anyone else who made the game besides Pixel, it would have been nickle and dimed at comiket and forever stayed a niche statues.

Its really not that fun. It's only praised for being culturally relevant.

>>383473103
Most of the praise it gets is by virtue of being the first of its kind - retro indie action platformers.

Had it released now, nobody would care.

So it's okay. Not mind-blowing, not all that incredible, some obtuse endgame stuff, probably doesn't "deserve all the praise" but the concept of something being "overrated" is fucking retarded.

Short and doesn't over stay it's welcome, playing through the game again and actually saving curly, realizing there's more game to play if you go up the outer wall instead of leaving with the doctor, the cute interactions between characters, it's such a nifty little game

Oh, the Plus version. It runs sped up. The original is hard-coded for 50fps. Cave Story Plus (all versions) run at 60fps (with no toggle). So the fine balance of the game is all thrown off. Very ugly.

>>383477226
I'm unironically going to read all of this.

Maybe it's because I've played the game countless times over the years, but I prefer 60fps nowadays. I find it more fun and it gets you through the shit backtracking faster.

It's a good game, but the leveling system feels really out of place. You level up weapons by picking up triangles, and delevel them by getting hit. The game basically makes hard sections harder this way, which is a really strange design choice.

If the system had been inverted (i.e. getting damaged powers up your weapon) it could have made for an interesting risk/reward mechanic. As it stands now, it's just weird and feels unnecessary.

Can anyone think of a purpose for it?

This is not a e-peen contest. If you really want to make a game as hard as possible, just make everything an insta-kill. Adding difficulty is easy, and doesn't require a deleveling system like this.

>>383481297
I don't understand what you're trying to say. The de-leving system is put in place to teach you getting hit is a bad thing. By knowing that when you get hit, you become less powerful, you gain a greater urge to pay attention to enemies so you can dodge their attacks. Is it a harsh punishment? Maybe, but it's a great way to let your brain know that "this bad thing is bad, try avoid it from happening".

The point isn't to make it as hard as possible, you're just looking at the negative-reinforcement angle. Beyond that it also encourages experimentation and relying on more than one weapon, either because you got hit and your machine gun sucks dick now, or because your current weapon is fully leveled and you decide to swap out another weapon to see the higher level forms out of curiosity.

>>383481386

Can you really not bring up the ability to criticise a game you love? You're only trying to turn this into a flamewar by interpreting my question as a plea for making the game simpler. It doesn't contribute anything other than imagining yourself better than some random guy on the internet.

I get that you like the game, but you should really be able to put these things into question. There are many ways to add difficulty to a game, but the leveling system is a really strange one. There are many more straightforward methods to do so. Are you sure you can't think of anything better than this?

Aside from Missiles (and technically the Machine Gun and Bubbler, but not really), the game doesn't have an ammo system. However, if you keep getting hit while using a weapon, that weapon will lose power in a prolonged fight such as a boss battle, encouraging you to switch and use a variety of weapons instead of just 'the best one'. Of course, there are weapons that just outright ignore this like the Spur and Nemesis.

It certainly does. It's an amazingly solid game considering it was made by ONE GUY. My only real complaint with the game is how utterly milked it has been over the years since it came out. I think it's appeared on every platform once they started porting it.

You write crap, little clam, and you're only getting more and more retarded

You faggots have to realize what the climate was like for people in their early 20s in 2003-2004 aka the years you should have played cavestory.

Most people who had good taste in games grew up with consoles, the ps2 and cube were a huge disappointment with the death of so many beloved jrpgs. MMOs fucking sucked in the year 2003 and 2004 and it felt like videogames were fucking dead.

So you had your depressed millennial who played RPGs on zsnes all the time and didn't do much else. Had recently discovered earthbound doesn't suck and kept seeing people posting this dumb nip game called cavestory on the chon.

Cavestory was like an extension of what videogames would have been like if the snes had more power and if people had continued to make good games. It was an entire circle fuck towards the whole shitty industry that embraced shitty 3d and load times and motion blur. Cavestory saved gaming.

This was before faggots like Phil fish and Johnathon blow fagged their way onto the scene. This was still when retards with shit taste read penny arcade and played resident evil 4. This was a big fuck you to all of them and everything.

I liked Kero Blaster, but upgrading your weapons is super obnoxious. It wasn't hard, just tedious.
In Cave Story, if you couldn't beat a boss, the answer was to explore for upgrades or to git gud.
In Kero Blaster, the answer was to grind because the upgrades are just in shops. It's far less interesting to me.

no it wasn't. you shouldn't have had to grind at all unless you're a turboshitter who needs to be over leveled as a crutch.

I just happen to be a person that is almost as intelligent and with taste that borderline rivals Icycalm's superior taste, but I'm not related to him in any way, except mentally maybe.

>>383486773
Nothing demands grinding to beat, it's just a little mechanic to help keep the difficulty at a decent level for struggling players. You keep replaying a section and dying, you eventually build up enough money to afford an upgrade. It's like, fully upgraded weapons are sort of the norm, but the game is beatable without upgrades. It's softly asking players to have at the challenge run, almost. I think it's fine. The level design is just so great that it balances out.

Here's the thing, though, I LIKE having fully upgraded weapons. Not as a crutch, I'm fairly decent at the game, but just to see how ridiculous it gets. The upgraded weapons are fun to use, much more fun than the lesser upgrades. And while Cave Story basically goes "Here you go, buddy, here's your upgrades, you better not get hit, though.", Kero Blaster makes me grind to have the most fun. Sure, you could go for minimal items, but that's even more tedious because then the bosses take ages.

>>383488995
>I LIKE having fully upgraded weapons. Not as a crutch,

It's a pretty great game, and most of the praise it got a decade ago was justified when such a quality indie game was a rarity.

Yes, it genuinely does. It came out in an era when indie games were shit, and it was made by one person with great music, really fun gameplay and a pretty good story. And it could fit on a floppy.

If you play it today it might seem unimpressive, but during 2004 there really weren't freeware games like this you could just download and sink into. We're flooded with easy to use game-maker tools and examples to go by, but Cave Story kind of came out of nowhere. It really is an indie classic and you can see its influence in other indie games, especially in visual style like Fez or Momodora, it's just it never gets cited by those guys, and Pixel is a pretty humble man.

Fact: the WiiWare version's soundtrack that completely reimagines some tracks is superior to DannyB's limp-sounding rearranges that just imitate Pixel's originals with a far less iconic sound bank.

Whether you like the originals or the WiiWare soundtrack is up to taste, though.

The better half of Undertale. The other half being Iji, still a game worth being remembered (that sadly isn't), just not as perfect as Cave Story.

People complain it being short but they are the people who couldn't clear hell and dropped it for being too hard and now are salty and claim it is bad because it's "too hard".It had mechanics,story and gameplay even AAA studios can't even conceive, let alone indies. Tight controls, you legit felt in control playing it,Character sprites and design undertale and similar games blatantly ripped off yet fags deny it.

Most of the tracks are better, Running Hell's remastered version was good

>beat it a couple months ago
>thought it was above average at best

Why does this game get so much praise and why is it regarded as one of the best games ever? I'm genuinely curious.

To everyone in this thread

It was the right game in the right place at the right time. The indie game scene used to be very different, it essentially spearheaded the explosion of indie titles in the latter half of the 00's and was credited as inspiration for countless games.

Is that Mary-san?

That is not a good redesign.

It has it's obsessive fans that will of course overrate it, but it's a good game and deserves the general recognition it gets. I've only recently played it on the Switch release, but it certainly is a very solidly made game with some fun mechanics.
