visual storytelling != fun, tho

It sucks that SeizeUs palace is so short :/

Mr.Rubinshtein

yeah

PegPeregoGaucho

The idea of a huge palace has so much potential

PegPeregoGaucho

compared to pirate beach

Bread

I feel like you start to notice the rush they had at Pirate Island

Mr.Rubinshtein

man i swear there is a 100% reference to king and the mockingbird french cartoon its has a fucking most incredible world design i have seen in surrealism genre and SeizeUs palace is referencing it since it is was a French made animation classic

PegPeregoGaucho

Yeah, many cut parts of Pirate Island can be found in the remaster. It was supposed to be much more than just the beach and the little town

Lepidópterus

Theres a LOT of donkey kong references

Mr.Rubinshtein

just look at this masterpiece each frame is a damn beautiful

Honestly Pirate Island just makes me sad. The only gameplay consists of using those 2 toilets (how fun) and then the town segment which is shorter than the average career of an American Idol winner. Plus, the town part is so fucking horrendous, that only the lovely town design saves it. Don't get me started on the part where you are on the platform and have to do the target bullshit again WHILE PACMAN ENEMIES are so bloody annoying)

Lepidópterus

Seize us is scary

Lepidópterus

I wouldnt like to go there if it was real

Lepidópterus

Knowing how well made roman multi story buildings were

Bread

That's why I personally put Pirate Island under LuckSore

Bread

But LuckSore has its own problems too of course

Mr.Rubinshtein

bruh no for sure they got inspired by this cartoon when making the palace

Mr.Rubinshtein

Caesars palace has this comical surreal feel with long towers and infinite going elevators
