You're pretty damn cool

I have a ton of untouched games in my steam library, yet I'm currently playing through my old copy of Fossil Fighters Champions, and it's fucking bonkers. This game has the most ridiculous plot points. In one scene a digging robot is breaking through a rock, but it starts running out of battery, so the main character starts trying to help (to no effect), and the robot is like "You are attempting to assist me? Thank you sir or madam. I now know why it is that humans smile. Battery at 100%, diggingdiggingdiggingdigging-" and that's just A THING that happens with no explanation. That robot wasn't even hinted to be sapient at all until that moment, and no one is like "holy fuck the digging robot has emotions" or anything, it just happens. And those kinds of moments are all over the game. This game does the most absurd things ever, I love it so much.

#i haven't felt this inspired since i replayed pmd gates to infinity and saw characters bursting into tears so often #that was what inspired me to write pmd stories #and now fossil fighters is doing stupid bullshit every 10 minutes and refusing to justify itself and i LOVE IT #this game's writing is ABSURD #i want to harness this energy #at one point you and a bunch of villains get swallowed by a whale #it has nothing to do with that section's plot it just happens #shit just HAPPENS #the gameplay is also solid #both the fossil cleaning and the really unique battle system #though i'm on new game+ so i have overleveled dinosaurs to wreck everything with #i'm gonna do a more toned-down playthrough after this with reasonable-strength dinos #if you have a ds (or an emulator but it needs touch screen controls sometimes so idk) i highly recommend fossil fighters champions #or just watch a playthrough or the cutscenes on youtube #my hacked 3ds is acting up but once i get it working properly again i'm pirating the other 2 games in the series #i really really hope this writing style is present throughout the series #i played fossil fighters 1 but it was over a decade ago so i don't remember what it was like #ka asks
