>>388886219

They made the newest game a shitty side scroller instead of the medroidvania style that its known for. Easily the worst the series.

>>388887361
>It's different so it's bad
This meme is still posted here?

inb4 "NO IT'S A BAD SIDE SCROLLER"

Except it isn't. Like, not even close to being bad. Maybe stop trying to out-contrarian Raz0rfist for a minute and you'd realize how delusional you are.

>>388887602

Its not a bad side scroller. Its bland and boring. Mediocre at best. I'm not trying to be contrarian, I donated to the kikestarter and fully supported the game. I just didn't really like the end result. I think that Pirates Curse is easily the best in the series. And it was a proper metroidvania.

>>388887770
Not really bland or boring at all. If anything it gave the series a new flair.

Also, you have any proof that you donated to the kickstarter or are we supposed to just believe you? Does your uncle also work at Nintendo?

Its great that you like the game. I personally don't play Shantae games for a sidescroller experience, and I was disappointed.

Theres your proof, nigger.

>>388887961

Is it really so fucking hard to believe that someone who backed the game was disappointed? I backed it and couldn't even be bothered to finish it.

but can i still fap to her?

>>388886375

It wasn't a good game

>>388887361
HGH is the second best in the series. Only Pirate's Curse is better.

The Risky DLC is laughably sparse for almost a year of work on it. Can't believe they think it's worth ten bucks.

>>388888501

I can get behind that. Only because the original had a lot of glaring problems and Risky's Revenge was a tech demo at best.

>implying people actually care
Despite them having a such simple formula to execute, all her games still end up being painfully dull.

>>388888501
That's because every game is mediocre at best

>>388887361

I'd been fine with Shantae had it been a generic side scroller.

Problem is despite not being a Metroidvania they decided putting in a ton of backtracking after every level was still a great idea. The pacing of half genie hero sucks ass.

>>388889319
>It means the character is stiff and moves like a robot. There's no way to go fast, no way to give yourself a bigger jump. It's stiff and boring
The control is one of the best parts of the game. Also saying there is no way to go fast is false. Shantae can turn into the monkey which moves faster.

>Every Shantae game is fucking meh.
Every game has been well-received so this is also false.

>No it didn't wtf, also that game isn't a platformer

i liked the risky dlc, i just think that for what time we waited for it, it doesn't seem like they invested all that time into it
i want to peek into risky's past etc
also nothing on why she couldn't forget wormwitch without being clubbed in the head
it was more enjoyable gameplay wise than hgh main game, but i also am biased
i don't really care about whether it's metroidvania or straight up platformer, though i'm honestly not a fan of backtracking, and anyone who has played mgs1 has ptsd from it

>>388889719

You do realize Wayforward isnt a fucking AAA developer here right? Most of their catalog of games are shovelware licensed games from various publishing deals and they are practically considered an Indie developer by many. Its not surprising they would utilize kickstarter to fund their next game rather than have to wait several fucking years to form some kind of budget for it.

A lot of 2D games have a set speed. Also, calling her dancing transformation a "cutscene" is hyperbolic at best, and just a lie at worst. It LITERALLY takes a second.

>That's because nobody cares enough to review the games

That's STILL a positve score. Also, way to forget to post the DS one, AKA the original version, which has an 85 metascore, champ

I don't understand this response, the person I replied to seem to be implying Wayforward was always good on money and could easily pop out a shantae game whenever they wanted when that clearly isn't the case given how troubled past game development has been (original barely fucking selling with few copies out there, Risky's Revenge meant to be episodic but not).

Its not really a fucking shocker they kickstarted HGH.

answers your question

>>388888398
He claimed disliking Shantae was a sign of misogyny. So to answer, no I don't think he really thinks that.

>>388890895
Actually, he said that the misogynists from /pol/ that frequent this board don't like Shantae. That's not that unreasonable.

>>388886015
Really hoping they go back to something like Pirate's Curse. I would hate for HGH to be the last Shantae game.

>>388890641
>A lot of 2D games have a set speed.
Only if there's something to offset the speed. Megaman doesn't build momentum while running but he still has jump momentum and the fantastic level design with the fast paced shooting justifies his movement. Megaman can also swap weapons on the fly. This tactic is also seen in Kirby, where the combat compliments the simplistic platforming mechanics

Meanwhile in Shantae you're forced to just stand still and mash hairwhip or stand still and watch a cutscene. Fucking thrilling gameplay right here

>Also, way to forget to post the DS one, AKA the original version, which has an 85 metascore, champ
You mean the one that didn't even get 20 reviewers?

>>388891376
Again, you're being hyperbolic about the cutscene part. Also forgetting about Backdash.

>You mean the one that didn't even get 20 reviewers?

You do know that the DS version has the most reviews out of all the ports, right? You pretty much just shot your own argument there. All the other ports have only a handful of reviews, but the one with 15 has an 85 metascore.

>>388891497
Shantae being dead is kind of a heartbreaker
On the other hand there is no denying how much better Risky plays. The slide move she has alone makes the speed better and the new pirate gear was great but would be even better in a game actually built from the ground up for her.

>>388891802
>Again, you're being hyperbolic
The gameplay isn't seamless. That's the point. It's slow and clunky as fuck.

>You do know that the DS version has the most reviews out of all the ports, right?
A mere 15 reviewers lmao.

>>388886472
dammit!

we knew letting her just rape and pillage would have something bad happen and she raped and pillaged Shantae until she died to death!

>>388891932
>The gameplay isn't seamless. That's the point. It's slow and clunky as fuck.
But it isn't though.

>A mere 15 reviewers lmao.

But when the PC port has a 77 metascore with 5, it's suddenly viable?! Again, you shot your own argument.

Its "her side of the story". Namely its not HER fault Shantae won, her minions are all idiots.

>>388893061
Nope.

It was obvious that most of the substories were going to take place during the Nega-shantae part given that part just resolves itself with the other characters using THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP to solve it. Plus Risky suddenly having a fully functioning base and the Dynamo all modified.

>>388893556
5 seems more reasonable for how fast you'll blow through it, but 10 isn't too bad.
Yes.

They made the transformations more useful by making default Shantae clunkier, and because the default movement is clunky the level design and combat maneuvering is boring and very one note. Sure, you can play most of the game as the monkey to get around that, but that doesn't fix the level design based around the default movement. It's not an easy problem to solve without Pirate's Curse-ing it. Charm to spare though.

>>388893390
Anon, don't you know better than to project your own insecurities on to others?

>>388893556
Took me about 3 hours blind to play it.

Risky is far more agile than Shantae is and the Pirate gear is much more fun than Shantae's forms are to traverse the area. Plus Risky has a slide move making it almost like Megaman to play.

I didn't mind paying 10 dollars for it but like >>388893624 said, 5 seems more reasonable given it shamelessly reuses things with only really new enemies being added to the mix and a single new boss fight.

It really isn't though. You can breeze through a lot of the game with Monkey because of it's wall climb and higher jumping. Also the game didn't feel clunky, it just felt like Shantae fell faster than in previous games. It wasn't as floaty I guess.

Compare the backdash in both PC and RR to the one in HGH, it's night and day. And I already mentioned playing the game as the monkey doesn't solve the simplified level/encounter design balanced for default Shantae.

Risky is better overall compared to Shantae but the enemy remixed layout was actively bullshit at certain parts and the bosses go from fake hard mode with a shit ton of HP to piss easy rather than scaling properly.
Hell I think if they just gave you all of risky's gear right off the bat it would have been better

If anything a lot of the level design is better to be used as the monkey though. Granted, you can't kill enemies, but you really don't have to kill all the enemies.

>>388894713
I don't know what you're talking about because I thought the bosses in Risky mode were noticeably harder. Maybe that's just because you can't have as much HP as Shantae though.

>>388894949

Especially the Double Barons fight.

It's not just the speed of the dash itself, but also the warm up and cool down. Everything movenent feels like it takes too long to do. It's especially bad in a regular platformer where the intent is always forward progress rather than calmer exploration. And skipping over obstacles as monkey isn't satisfying, because you're missing the actual game part. The game shines most when you are forced or encouraged to play as the monkey and you have to navigate a controlled series of obstacles (for the most part, there are definite exceptions
), because that's when everything is smooth and peppy.

Anon, the game does have areas to explore. It's not like Super Mario Bros. where it's literally from point a to point b. There were some things that put me off from this game, but game flow really wasn't one of them.
