GreerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Phil RainHOST
chrono trigger was really good about that i think especially because the active the atb system that was originated by i believe final fantasy 6 and then uh used again by chrono trigger i think that's a great way to do it because then you can't just uh whereas a lot of earlier turn-based rpgs where once your turns up just take all the time in the world nothing will happen until you do your turn right the atb system was like no we're gonna keep having stuff going on the background so you better be ready to make your decisions
GreerHOST
yeah and can you do you know what that stands for Active Time Battle.
GreerHOST
Active Time Battle, right.
19 MINS LATER
Phil RainHOST
And then by the time you're getting to that point where you have that higher damage threshold and less health, you're like, well, I'm not getting hit anymore because now I've learned the combat.
Phil RainHOST
It's a really good learning curve built into it.
GreerHOST
And that's another thing, a game with a learning curve that just doesn't throw a lot of stuff at you in combat.
GreerHOST
I'm thinking of like Metroid Dread.
Christian SpicerHOST
I think what Evil Empire did with this game is really refreshing, and I think they've leaned into traversal in a way that Castlevania games have had traversal before as well.
Christian SpicerHOST
But I think they kind of looked at some of the more modern Metroidvania games, even Silksong or the Ori games, and and saw how traversal in these 2D environments could be just as rewarding as figuring out how to get somewhere or an enemy encounter.
Christian SpicerHOST
And I think what they added with that kind of ballet of navigating spikes you know the celestification of uh or the meat boyification of metroidvania is something that i really appreciate and i was watching some videos some gifs actually of the animations in castlevania belmont's curse slowed down so you can see them and it's like oh this is why it feels so good Like all of the whip, all of that stuff is in there.
Christian SpicerHOST
It's just happening so quick.
Ángel AlguacilHOST
Sí
Ramón RodríguezHOST
...si, si esto lo estamos haciendo, estamos decompilando el juego con IA para que mañana sale, eh, la Silksong dos y yo ese juego ya lo saqué y lo estoy jugando por ahí con, con una versión pirateada de esa forma, pues simplemente es una piratería que está impactando todo el mundo involucrado en, en ese-
Ángel AlguacilHOST
Deberían hacerse a la Nintendo con la Karina, mi bro.
Fidel BáezPANELIST
Sí, pero lo que va a pasar es que no van a hacer más juegos.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
The game that most influenced this is clearly Hollow Knight, and that has that all over.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Like that and Silksong both are very, very much... will give you like four things you could potentially do right now.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
And that's great.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
Like, I think that's one of the strengths of this game.

Noel SlamrocketHOST
How many bosses are
Dr. AggroPANELIST
there? It's got a bunch of classic Castlevania bosses scattered around as regular enemies.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
It has fewer bosses than Act 1 of Silksong.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
I mean, comparing any
DustinHOST
But also, I have in, like, the last two Metroidvanias I played are two of the best Metroidvanias I've ever played in my life.
DustinHOST
Oh, Mio, right? I played Mio and I played Hollow Knight Silksong.
DustinHOST
I think those are my last two.
DustinHOST
And, like, what, I mean, it's not going to compare to either of those.
Michael HannonHOST
It is in line with a lot of other metroidvanias.
Michael HannonHOST
Like, Hollow Knight and Silksong have Estus Flasks and Bonfires.
Michael HannonHOST
Those are your healing thing that you're building up with Silk in the case of Silksong.
Michael HannonHOST
But, like, the benches act as bonfires.
Michael HannonHOST
Like, these are all...
John BlancoHOST
They would have it.
John BlancoHOST
Whereas Silksong, which was one spot above.
John BlancoHOST
Is is also only by three people, but the average of their position was higher.
John BlancoHOST
It's just kind of unusual.
John BlancoHOST
There's people that really love Undertale.
John BlancoHOST
Number three, Persona 5 Royal.
John BlancoHOST
Number four, Hollow Knight Silksong.
John BlancoHOST
Oh, this is a masochist.
DanHOST
I was trying to play...
DanHOST
God, what's it called? Silk Song.
DanHOST
Hollow Knight Silk Song.
DanHOST
And I was stuck on a bus and I just watched someone just...
DanHOST
And it was a guide.
Brad SimonsHOST
Right.
Brad SimonsHOST
You know, like games that I've given my game of the year and not just like Silksong and stuff, but like, you know, like Guacamelee.
Brad SimonsHOST
And I mean, like.
Brad SimonsHOST
A long time, this has been an amazing genre that I love.
Ben AustwickHOST
I mean when you when it's a game like that you need the controls to be perfect that's why I love Celeste even though Celeste was really difficult like I knew exactly what button to press at what time when I was pressing in I could see the way that it needed me to do it and it would and if ever there was a time where I fell or I did something wrong then I knew that that was my fault because I'd not pressed the button the
Ed NightingaleHOST
right way and Hollow Knight is the same as that I'm not discussing Silksong that game doesn't that game is dead to me but Hollow Knight is exactly that like super smooth controls and I think that's why people really like it
Ben AustwickHOST
but now you've frustrated yourself with Castlevania maybe going back to Hollow Knight you'll actually be decent at it no we're not we're not talking about
Ed NightingaleHOST
that so I think the controls are inconsistent I think the difficulty is inconsistent it's really hard at the beginning that first boss you watched me do and it took me like quite a few goes to do it that's the one that I beat first go Yes, but you'd played it at the easy games.
