Ori Sequel? More like nonsense...

So I started going through looking for what Moon Studio is going to do next with Ori, or what game they're doing next. Ori and the Blind Forest is my personal favorite game of all time, so I am eager to see what Moon Studios produces next and whether they can match something so beautiful and well done with another game that they choose to release. Well, there were talks of a movie, but that was two years ago now...then half a year ago, approaching on a full year ago...there was talk of a sequel, apparently. "Ori and the Will of the Wisps". A title just as intriguing as "Ori and the Blind Forest", to be sure, but upon going through the links, looking for the full stories and what not...there's nothing to be found.

Either they were elaborate April Fool's jokes done far too early, or they were simply never meant to be in the first place. I haven't heard anything from Moon Studio, though I am certain they are working on something so far. I just don't know what, and it's frustrating to think that people are trying and searching for things about Ori and a sequel. While I would be overjoyed at a sequel, I would also be wishing for less of it and more of something original. Leave Ori as it is, perhaps develop it in another medium, or better yet, approach Ori and the Blind Forest from a different character's perspective? I was hopeful for a movie, so I guess we'll see. Maybe E3 this year has something going on that will tell us whether Ori and the Blind Forest will get continued upon or it will be something else entirely.

As for me, myself, personally...I would prefer something like a movie, or something else from this game studio, trying another platformer but with different mechanics or a different approach, with the same love and care that was poured into Ori. That being the case, Ori and the Blind Forest proved so popular and beloved among those that it appealed to that a sequel may not be out of the question and probably isn't out of the question. If there is a sequel, I expect the same love and care to be shown to it as with Ori, and that much more "amazing" out of the game. Ori and the Blind Forest caught me off guard...I don't know if they can take the same thing and do it twice. If they can, they might just make me a believer in the idea that true gems are still possible in a day and age where gaming has started falling to the mediocre.

So far, like I said, no evidence has actually surfaced. There are rumors zipping to and fro, but like all internet rumors, without evidence, there is nothing to support them. They're just rumors on the wind, hopefuls seeking support. If more evidence comes through, however, I may come back to comment on it. And if a reveal comes, I'm most definitely going to spaz out, and be crying tears of joy more than likely because I'll just be so happy to see another Ori game. If there's a movie...even better.

Now to get back to speedrunning Ori and the Blind Forest, I suppose, while I wait for something more.

Undertale?! A theory on why most monsters don't dodge or seem to be attacking

This is something that occurred to me that most people have probably already thought up at this point and figured out before me. So why am I doing it? It's my blog, that's why. I can do what I want! But I digress, let me explain what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that monsters rarely move when they're attacking the character, yet attacks come flying at the character anyway. The monsters also don't make much effort to dodge, outside of one particular skeleton that I'll get into later here. Well, why don't they make physical moves? The reason, I realized, was pretty obvious. They use magic, all monsters do. Whether it be bones from Papyrus, laser spears from Undyne, fireballs from Toriel and Asgore...the times that actual physical moves are displayed actually become rather obvious, with the monster above the movement box swinging their weapon down into the movement box, or otherwise making other motions, like Sans does when he's fling...

Why is "streamlining" games a bad thing? - Personal Rant

A complaint wandering about the MMO side of gaming is that such games are becoming "too streamlined" to be fun. Well, how is this meant? That's where it gets tricky to talk about, because lots of MMO's have done streamlining to their benefit. Others have fallen from grace in the eyes of many because of doing what they called "streamlining" the game. World of Warcraft, for instance, has become infamous for how it has toned down much of its content. But what does it mean to "streamline" something and how is it used for MMO gaming? To streamline something is to, in this instance, make an operation, machine or system more effective and efficient by implementing faster or simpler working methods. In most instances, we would think of this as a good thing. Having a game flow faster as a result of having to think less about the mechanics and instead focusing more on the actual gameplay seems to be a common popularity trope within games. Games become more...

Upcoming Reviews: Uncharted?

I'm contemplating reviewing the Uncharted series for this blog. I've played the 4th one recently, but because of the story nature of the games and the fact that they are highly acclaimed, what would I be adding by talking my opinions...? Then again...I've talked about other wildly popular games so far and they were games that had many people's opinions scribbled all over them, so what else would be new for the course? Expect a series of reviews to come out in a little while, depending on how inspired I feel to write them. I don't expect anyone to care, but...ya know.
