      Makes me both happy and sad of the possibilities. Imagine if rom hackers/gamedevs were officially hired to modernize old games. Instead, we have to pray a remake comes out and to they not take down projects like this
      Small features like wide-screen, accessibility like exp up, go a long way

    Point 1:Bits and Bots (red and blue slimes) in Palaces have always been tougher than the ones in the overworld.
    Point 2: They also always infinitely respawn, as do bats (Aches) and Myu (the tiny spike creature you normally can only kill with downthrust).

    So, what’s the point of delaying the leveling? If you just cancel, you’re simply not getting the upgrades.

    • @agitpolat1061
      @agitpolat1061 7 місяців тому

      The way Levels work in this Game is that you basically "buy" them with your Experience Points, so delaying them keeps your EXP around to let you go for a different Stat first if you want to actively prioritize a specific one.
      To give a made-up example, imagine an Upgrade for one Stat costs 500 EXP and 1000 for another. If you take the 500 Upgrade, now your EXP is back to 0, and you need to get another 1000 for the other Stat. If you skip the 500 Upgrade though, you still have those Points and now just need another 500 to get to the 1000 Upgrade.

    Shockingly excellent execution so far! There's so much more depth to everything while still maintaining the look and feel of the OG Zelda II (which I also adore as a staple of my childhood). It's no small feat to make a retro game broader and deeper while keeping the style and fundamental experience the same. Finding more heart and magic bits in more secret places, changes to the platforming and letting you jump on more stuff, entrances to other areas within towns and castles and the FIRST PALACE, little sprite updates, the multi-tier change to how the Candle works... just astounding. I'm completely here for this! Weeks of this: yes, please!

      I'm glad it came out without a C&D. Hoverbat handled it perfectly. I would love to see the same love on games like Crystalis, Battle of Olympus, heck even Castlevania II could use a better one than all the current hacks we have... But the one game I've always wanted done right was Zelda II, and the dream has become a reality, so I won't complain if none of these other games ever gets this treatment. Because I have this Z2 remake in even greater glory than I could have ever dreamed up.

    ProTip: To play blind, use darkened sunglasses at night, with 40% screen brightness... or ya know use a screw driver. (but that has it's own set of cons)
    That's an amazing amount of work, Well done to those that helped make this remaster. It looks like they did a great job.

    If you get in the mood to do a top ten or a quasi-highlights reel of cool mods to old games, I'd watch the heck out of that. These modded retro games you've been playing have been amazing!

    If there was a remake/reimagining of Crystalis, I'd lose my mind. Thats one of my favorite RPGs from when I was a kid.

      The Gameboy Color version might be worth a play?

      @@juststatedtheobvious9633 played it. Wasn't impressed. I meant if it got a make over like this.

      It definitely needs updating. QoL like the bracelets auto-equip when you equip a sword, certain items are passives, NO level gating mobs and bosses, no being vulnerable to only one sword, instead they just take extra damage from one sword while the rest just do neutral or less damage.

    I am looking forward to seeing this! I’ve never played these older Zelda games so it’s always fun to watch your content 😊
