Settle down, I'm just too old-fashioned to enjoy how Mercurysteam's games play and feel. Even Samus Return's pacing felt jittery as fuck with cinematic interruption fuckness, and LoS 1 was so all over the place and filled with forced variety. Not a fan of how those people make games no sir.

>The biggest is that you fucking lose total control over jump height and direction the moment you swing your whip mid-air.
Aw fuk, yes, you made me notice, this is a big one that's always bothered me. I bet they wanted it to make it feel like the old CVs but when Symphony and even Circle gave you the ability to scuttle back a little in the air and reposition yourself, this feels awful. One of the things I like the most about these games is the attack animation cancelling with the jumping, and this game just does not let you.

Seriously, fuck being forced to warp from castle to castle, horrible decision.

>Adventure 2
I played the game as a kid a little, I just never finished it, I do know it's much better than the first one with a stage select and all, the music is great which does make me wanna play. I also could never finish Legends and only play cause Sonya is hot lmao bad choice.

Thanks for the recs though, I will give 2 a try, maybe, after I beat the good NES shit I have to play like Ufouria Gimmick Crysalis and... a billion other things lmao.

I avoid them 99% of the time, but use them to bypass bullshit like Ninja Gaiden's last stage and recently Ghouls and Ghost's mandatory bracelet shit. Utter, total horse shit that breaks previously established rules or crosses a line in scumminess, I'd say there's o harm in savestatting past that. I don't care if people used to deal with it back in the day. It's shit design and artificially elongating your game.

Still, I'd never use them for something like a hard shmup, a game with limited continues or a stretch withour saves in the case of something like DKC2 or Crash. In those games, if I can't progress, then that'll be it.
