Makes sense, we grow up as people, and then demand the franchises we liked as kids keep up with us. Sometimes we should just let go of things that no longer appeal to us, instead of insisting and carrying on while fed up with them.

They've shown they can do real challenge, though, and most players remember specifically those moments fondly. Everyone remembers being terrorized by Cynthia's competitive level Garchomp, everyone remembers that one hiker with three explosion using geodudes especially the nuzlockers. No one remembers the hundreds of practically nameless trainers that get sweeped in five seconds in-between gyms. I don't think it's asking a lot that the important battles actually have a difficulty appropriate to their importance, even if it still ended up being relatively child friendly.
The real problem with SV is that they didn't even bother to account for players not doing things in the "intended" order, despite the fact it's an open world game. On top of an untogglable EXP share further cutting any challenge that might exist. You're either fighting a trainer well above your level without warning, or you're fighting a trainer with lv10 pokemon because you're doing an "early game" area last without meaning to.
This is by far the most corporate looking Patreon watermark I've ever seen. I'm honestly impressed.
I happened across the same logo (less prominent) at the end of post #6794913, but with different individuals involved. I guess the Patreon (and the Twitter account this is from) belongs to artist Merryweather, who seems to be a writer collaborating with (or commissioning?) other artists.
A bloody classic, can tell the artist know how to play the game lmao and the damn memes. Also there is a Battlecruiser from Starcraft lmao...
I see a classic engineer on half-truck rush, with engineer already in "progress" of capturing a War Factory a terror drone as bonus lol There is a fking Mirage Tank "hidden" in the middle of Soviet Base lol. also Tanya Miku lol
Takoluka as a Giant Squid raping a destroyer and that lone Kirov looks more scarier than what it was depicted in game That Attack Miku Inu nabbing that Spy.
Strange there is no Chrono Legionnaire and SEAL, since those are fun and a pain if not dealt with.
loving the detail of that mind controlled GI from the Yuri across the other side Edit: I'm guessing that's the Cob Cannon from Plants versus Zombies and I finally recognized the chrono'd army dump to the river at the background
I just read the story and listened to the album, honestly, I think it's one of the best works ZUN has done in recent years. Not only is the music excellent, but the story is also very good, and there are several details like Renko's theory and Maribel's ability that are better developed here, you know, real story development. If you're a true fan of the Touhou Project and know what the previous ones were about, this one definitely won't disappoint.
Even the chosen songs (the repeated ones) take on a new meaning with this album. I mean, when you listen to the theme of Sannyo or Okina, you immediately think of the characters, but damn, it seems like ZUN thought of them for this album from the start, they fit really well!
As for the music, I have mixed feelings. Like I said, it's too good, everything sounds clear and sharp, but on the other hand, I feel like ZUN is giving us "leftovers" in the games when he can still make such good music (or even better), and this album is living proof of that.
Here, ZUN put all his love and effort into the arrangements and quality, while in the games, I notice he's super neglectful, I just don't understand it.
I don't want to end on a negative note, so I'll say this again: I really enjoyed this CD. I loved the new music and the story, damn, even the cover and the repeated songs make sense when you read the story. ZUN put a lot of effort into this album, something like this couldn't have been rushed or done half-heartedly. I definitely recommend this album, and I dare say it's easily one of the best. I have a lot of affection for Dr. Latency's Freak Report, but this one is just too good.
