How long did you take to realize you had to let the boss eat your HP to hurt it?

[CaptainNuevo]

It took me quite a bit on my first playthrough. Letting the boss intentionally damage you was so counterintuitive as a kid, especially coming from the Sonic games, I have no idea how I finally found out I had to let the boss intentionally eat my HP to let me kill him.

Pretty smart game design to subvert expectations and introduce some ludonarrative dissonance via the vsync. Good on the devs.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

[vixolus]

[Combichristoffersen]

Also how do you.. uh... introduce ludonarrative dissonance via vsync? 🧐

 

[TheChrisGlass]

I think the Sonic cycle has broken you

 

[Weebos]

I still haven't figured it out.

What? No I'm not talking about sonic at all. Except for when I talked about how Sonic conditioned me to not be hit,

No, I just want to talk about this game's great design. IT's a treasure of a game after all.

Don't make nonsense threads. It isn't the weekend. Drink some water.
