He wasn't here during XXL1, joined starting from XXL2. But before, in 2002, he worked in a game called Arx Fatalis, for Xbox and PC, from the publisher Arkhane studios.

So he worked on XXL2, OG, Arthur, and Dragons, before *returning* to Arkhane and the game series Dishonored. Quite a neat journey.

I played Arthur and the Invisibles knowing in advance it had graphics and gameplay mechanics similar to Asterix OG. After finishing it I don't wanna touch it again. Too difficult for my taste.
martyste
I completed Spyro and well, it was harder too, ngl...

Oh yeah, I got the Spyro game for my XB360 s a teenager. I eventually found it to be tedious and annoying (QTE...) and dropped it at the last level, I think Also the wording "free flight" isn't technically accurate: there are limits on where you can fly so it doesn't break the platforming
martyste
well there's very very little QTE tbh
stinkek
There are still plenty of sections where if you mess up, you start over
martyste
i had less trouble on bosses than just tough regular enemies that basically just requires you to spam some magic to get rid off.
martyste
there's so much more ways to easily get hurt than any Asterix game in comparison
martyste
but gosh if you start looking at what the speedrunners know about this game... it's stupidly broken
stinkek
And this is a completely different aspect, but I like the light-hearted cartoony atmosphere of the original trilogy more
martyste
Very fair. I'd love Reignited more if I didn't get my save corrupted by auto-save yesterday
martyste
Oh and if I could mod Spyro 3 to use the PAL Platinum music selection instead of NTSC 1.1 that'd be wonderful... but it seems there's zero music modding interest for that game
kolapro
You should play Crash Bandicoot games Marty
martyste
it's meh for me
martyste
not a big fan of the forced linearity
martyste
i already had that with Tintin destination adventure
martyste
love CTR tho
stinkek
What do you mean by that? I never played a Crash game, although I saw some clips, and I can see why one of my childhood games||*cough* Barbie Explorer *cough*|| is compared to it
martyste
Well in Spyro you can roam in any direction, control the camera, etc
