Cave Story vs Cave Story+

imagine not having anything to complain about for visuals so you just grasp at straws hard enough to snap them in half

Fucking amazing how easy it is to improve Plus's shitty sprites.

>letting the player's mind fill in the details
I have never once done that in any minimalist game I've played.

you know the original spritework is available in + too, right?

cave story + with the original graphics

I don't give a shit about features.

Font is still fucked, and the game is still 20% faster, though.

Both are free.

I played it on the Retroarch port years ago, laptop had some issues with the original version and was slightly laggy.

>he didn't get CS+ free on steam
oh no no no no no

There you go, just pick one or more. Personally I like the DSi version and I moved it to my 3DS. + has a lot of bells and whistles though. For purists the original is free and 50 fps.

Cave Story with 60fps + widescreen mod.

Both are free

that's unfortunate. this is a thing that you can use to get by when your resources are limited and things like convenient use of color and clarity in staging and poses can illustrate things in a way that communicate detail to the audience. this allows them to interpret shit how they want.

well my example? anything minimalist. here's some games.

have you ever watched older television animation, like a lot of it? there's not many frames so they pan them out and get real creative with recycling stuff so they can focus on other aspects of the overall production, like sound, music and a bunch of other things.

OG is the better one because you're playing the game the way the dev intended and you are also not giving your money to a shit company,
besides, all of the "additions" on + are all negligible, the new graphics,music,translation are all arguably worse than the original and curly story is just a shitty reskin (that was stolen from a mod at that)
the only good addition i'd say is wind fortress and it's mostly because it was designed by pixel himself

the PSP port of cave story
>original vision and speed
>widescreen
>portable
>doesn't support nicalis
the coop on switch is pretty awesome though and makes that version a close second.

What a stupid argument

hey it's not his fault you're stupid and grew up spoiled by overly lavish production values

That is a legitimate art style argument user.
It's not expecting you to imagine it looks better than it does, it's just a fancy way of describing visual consistency.

It's basically the sprite version of this
