INTRODUCING

I have never met a shantae fan who has anything positive to say about the gameplay of the shantae games, or say they are fans of the games for the gameplay

more like bitch shantae

>>720191453
Hello, that would be me. They are all fun to varying degrees, except for the original GBC one, which was far too ambitious for the hardware and was crippled as a result.

>>720191697
>They are all fun to varying degrees
what do they do outside of being very basic platformers

>>720191853
they excel at being basic and charming

>>720191887
What makes them charming? What specifically about the gameplay makes it charming.

Basic isnt a compliment

Which Shantae character is the most easily hypnotised?

>>720191314 (OP)
I love my wife shantae

>>720191453
the gameplay is just ok, but the appeal is shantae.

>>720191853
Are you saying basic platformers cannot be fun?

Why not? Basic means that there's not much complexity, that doesn't mean it's bad. They're simple games, the platforming isn't overly complex, the puzzles are all easy to solve, maps are well made and easy to know where you are thanks to making each room distinct. The charm comes from the execution, Shantae's incredibly emotive in her animations, the transformation concept works without issue and progression feels satisfying.
If anything I think we need more basic games because so many new games try and put too much in. They try and be X but BIGGER or Y but HARDER or they're fusing mechanics from various games together but in doing so there just aren't any basic games around. Something that you can sit down and enjoy, you don't need to sweat or try hard, you can just enjoy a nice, simple story, with nice simple gameplay and feel satisfied after clearing it.
Is there really a problem with such a game existing in the various genres that exist beyond farming sims?

>>720192565
im saying that a game that touts its gameplay on being "basic" isn't much of an achievement

>>720192717
i guess i never got a satisfying feeling from doing stuff in shantae.
>Basic is good because the animations are good
the animations =/= gameplay

His endgame?

>>720192719
It's not trying to be an achievement you brainlet.
What makes DKC stand out? It's gameplay? Really, all you do is jump and roll, two buttons and that's it. Oh ok sure, sometimes you switch. THREE BUTTONS. Does that make DKC bad? FUCK NO, it stands out in it's level design, satisfying use of it's basic gameplay mechanics to navigate the levels and of course it's unique, distinct art style.
To be even more obvious, look at the original Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and compare it to Crash 4. Even with a few different ways to jump it was all pretty basic, the new game threw that away to be more complicated(while fucking up other aspects that's not the point we're talking about today). Why did they make it more complicated? Why couldn't the game be good enough with a few basic controls?
There's nothing wrong with basic. Most beloved games are basic, it's all about the execution beyond being basic.

>>720191314 (OP)
Thought that said bleach

>>720192901
Okay, just because basic isn't a pejorative, doesn't make it outright a compliment, as you said - the basic games that are laudable you mentioned are standout for elements such as level design, stuff which shantae as a series lacks

>>720192782
>Basic is good because the animations are good
You aren't even trying to think are you? PART(not ALL) of the charm for Shantae is that her animations are highly emotive, she has a clear character/personality and that is displayed through her animations. Something that's surprisingly rare since even something as simple as running is often just normal and doesn't show a character's personality.
Or are you going to say that part of the appeal of Metal Slug isn't how incredible the animations are. To reiterate, PART OF, since you seem a little mentally slow.

>>720191697
That's crazy, I still think the GBC is one of the best ones in the franchise given its limitations

>>720193047
Okay, shantae is a highly emotive bimbo, how does this effect the gameplay

>>720193134
Ok, I take back what I said at the end there. You aren't a little mentally slow. You're just mentally retarded.
The visuals DO NOT affect(not effect you fucking brainlet) the gameplay. I never said they did, I said it was part of the games appeal. In terms of gameplay you have the transformation dancing which while some complain about needing to stop and dance the fact you need to think about transforming adds weight to doing it. If you could just freely transform wherever you are at any time while it would be smoother and flow better it won't carry the weight of what you're doing. It won't add a layer of risk if an enemy is coming at you since there's the brief delay between dancing and transforming. The dungeon layouts are also satisfying and good at being distinct. An odd occurrence in metroidvania esque dungeon design since Shantae ALSO doesn't often have a map of the dungeon. Being able to tell where you are in relation to everything is good level design. Again, Shantae isn't trying to be complex. The levels aren't going to be overly challenging but despite that they all stand out and you can tell when going through one exactly where you are without a clear map showing your location.

why does Shantae cause such division

>>720193437
damn, shame the series is only known for one thing

>>720193749
Because she doesn't grant the wish everyone wants

>>720192275
Excellent

>>720193753
Damn nigger you've gots tha tism, just say you don't like Shantae, weird series to have an axe to grind with

>>720191697
I would really like to see them take GBC and leave it as-is except for removing the screen limitation via a patch to the existing GBC release on modern consoles. If you removed the screen limitation GBC would be arguably better than Pirate's Curse.

>>720191314 (OP)
When the FUCK are they releasing Shantae (2002) on PC? Out on Switch, out on 3DS, out on PS4 AND PS5, but no PC port...

rottytops breast expansion

I cant stop thinking about her

Why is shantae so perfect bros

>>720191314 (OP)
Uhhh feet? Omg feet!

>>720201073
I want to scramble her eggs and raise a nest with her

>>720201236
>asked
But did he wish for it or just ask?

>>720192275
Made for BWC

that's a sign of being a white male with high testosterone and good genes

>>720196002
>at least a widescreen hack but ideally increase the resolution to 320*180
>floating skulls above pits (was it PC that introduced that? It's really fucking needed in GBC)
>optional quick dances and dance memory (or whatever putting it in your magic slot is called)
>alternate outfit(s)
I think I'd probably add a speedrun mode if they're going to keep adding speedrun achievements; something like Richter mode in SOTN, maybe with Pirate Shantae.

>>720198229
>casually proves that earrings are superfluous garbage on any 2d character

>>720191453

anyone who wants to talk about the games gets drowned out by the legions of people yearning to renovate Shantae’s armpit pussy. After a point you just give up

>>720205154
If they could I guess a slight tweak to the hair hitbox could also help since in GBC it wasn't really aligned that well.
GBA dance unlocked too, but I think the ports already do that.

>>720206520
To be fair, they have a good cause.

>>720206365
I mean shantae could wear a potatoe sack and still look gorgeous

>>720191314 (OP)
Truly an example of appealing to coomers will sell terrible games

>>720207762
But Shantae series has no "terrible" games
There's a bad one, sure, but nothing that drastic.

>>720191453
I've played all Shantae games and the best way I can describe them is that they're the most 6/10 games ever. Maybe Pirate's Curse borders on a 7/10.
The cute girls really is the main, and sometimes only, appeal.

why can't Shantae keep her pants zipped

>>720192901
>look at the original Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and compare it to Crash 4.
did 4 even let you vary your jump height by how long you hold the button? I recall that was fucking removed from the nsane trilogy, which is why I'm even asking.

>>720208679
God the noodle mini comic where these three bombshells fucked was so hot.

>>720208679
she's leaving some breathing room for her fat pussy

i'm just now noticing how long her ears are in Advance

>>720191453
>play Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse
>extremely mid
>hope I can get to the good ones soon
>people tell me Pirate's Curse was the high point of the series

>>720209606
So i can more easily suck on them while i fuck her all lovey-dovey in missionary position

>>720211234
But there is

>>720201236
That didn't happen

>>720212268
Mind sharing it?

>>720213542
>even ai does these stupid fucking evaporation clouds
Still thanks mate.

>>720213927
I love how even in a modest wedding dress her tits almost spill out.

>>720192601
she looks like a nortubel character

>>720191453
It's simply not the main appeal.
