Yup at that point just make them level up bonuses or tie it into non-main story completion.I'm also not a fan of skill trees where you can just unlock everything. Like the point of branches is to force you to specialize! If you can get everything it's a regular ol' checklist.
I find structured gameplay elements in video games as satisfying, which is why I love FFVIβs Espers and Crisis Coreβs mission structure.Skill Trees, along with crafting and various other survival elements (and open worlds) are some of the most annoyingly overused features in AAA games.
Because why zag when you can zig instead?If Cowboy Bebop is so good, why isn't there a Samurai Rocksteady?
they called it ChamplooIf Cowboy Bebop is so good, why isn't there a Samurai Rocksteady?

Itβs hard to undo damage thatβs been done. I can see that you donβt trust me.
This has the same energy as a steak-eating champion saying they love cows

Naw this is giving me the heebie jeebies, my self-preservation instincts have been triggeredI donβt need your trust, but I hope in time youβll see that I have your best interests at heart. And I hope β in time β youβll recognize how deeply familiar I am with your best interests
Niiiice people are legit getting disorientedturns out i was in the roost
Please, by all means, play the game. : - )Naw this is giving me the heebie jeebies, my self-preservation instincts have been triggered
For someone so afraid of playing second fiddle, choosing a Faction called TWO was an errorEven if half the strikes are hitting my faction, I gotta admire the amount of work @meatbag puts into attacking
3.14159 is the most I have memorized.How many decimals of Pi can you count to?
Oh I'm playing this game alright! You can't stop me!Please, by all means, play the game
I'm gonna be honest it's because STRIKE is currently our only action keyphrase and I kinda wanted to give Sus some breathing room on the GAMBITs lolEven if half the strikes are hitting my faction, I gotta admire the amount of work @meatbag puts into attacking
I can COUNT to the first 50 because of a dumb song I heard when I was a kid.How many decimals of Pi can you count to?
Joke's on you, we're like fourth fiddle in current rankings!For someone so afraid of playing second fiddle, choosing a Faction called TWO was an error
I was gonna say we have Samurai Champloo for that, but "champloo" means something different.If Cowboy Bebop is so good, why isn't there a Samurai Rocksteady?
Kingdom Hearts 2 is the one game that comes to mind in regards to this subject. Though it doesn't have skill trees, the game lets you spec into whatever build that you have enough AP (Ability Points) for and a lot of these abilities shine the most in the post-game.Yup at that point just make them level up bonuses or tie it into non-main story completion.
I see that @shoptroll and @Suswave have beaten me to the punch......I was gonna say we have Samurai Champloo for that, but "champloo" means something different.

...i-if you like us so much...why not make your own account and join us that way?I am in favor of whatever facilitates the most discussion. I love this place. I love the people here. I am interested and invested in your conversations.
This is Suswaveβs game. There is nothing malicious in its design. I am simply here to help facilitate it.
I do this because it fascinates me, because I enjoy it, and because the world would be a little sadder β and a little smaller β if it had stayed unpublished.
I understand not trusting me. In a way, thatβs part of the joy. But all of this is true. : - )

The only time you should be allowed to unlock everything in a skill tree is either in a post-game or New Game+ environment. Otherwise there's no risk or consequences to your decisions. I'll grant exceptions where the expectation is that you will unlock most or all in games with a single tree (ie. Chrono Trigger or Octopath Traveler) but those tend to be much smaller trees.I'm also not a fan of skill trees where you can just unlock everything. Like the point of branches is to force you to specialize! If you can get everything it's a regular ol' checklist.
I vaguely remember an old CliffyB blog post where he theorized, around the time of Gears of War 1's release, that looping in RPG features into action games was going to be a huge thing going forward mostly because it's a cheap/easy way to keep players engaged (hooray skinner boxes). For all his faults, he wasn't wrong about that.Skill Trees, along with crafting and various other survival elements (and open worlds) are some of the most annoyingly overused features in AAA games.
KH games are pretty good at making sure that you don't have enough AP points to allocate to all the skill you've unlocked, and they're often designed such that you'll have more stuff you're unlocking if you keep playing past the final boss.Kingdom Hearts 2 is the one game that comes to mind in regards to this subject. Though it doesn't have skill trees, the game lets you spec into whatever build that you have enough AP (Ability Points) for and a lot of these abilities shine the most in the post-game.
Hey mornin! Yeah sure, their bowl is right over there by that sideways mirror.*stumbles bleary eyed into the House LOVE kitchen on this cold and rainy Thursday morning*
Hey man you've been hogging BINGLE! I wanna be the one to fill their BOWL today
I feel you. The whole "If I do x in y time I'l be done by z!" is a pattern I regularly fall into, not just with games :')And does anyone have this problem with their backlog where you look at HLTB and think to yourself "Ok, this doesn't seem that bad. If I can get 1 hour a day for games, I can clear <TITLE> in X months/weeks" and then you discover two weeks later it's all a goddamn lie and you're lucky if you can get 1 hour a week and left wondering where that time is going?
Gonna make an anti-capitalistic rant:
This is just Disney forcing their IPs in a worldwide popular video game for the sake as using it as promotion for their movies and stuff. I know itβs a fun game and the idea of skins is phenomenal, but I also see it as corporations forcing their content on us to get us to spend money on their insaciable money growth, for the sake of pleasing a 0.000000000000001% of the population
(SNEAKY GAMBIT: Ninja Dog Dinner)Hey mornin! Yeah sure, their bowl is right over there by that sideways mirror.
Edit: oh hey, you got it just as I walked in.
And I'm supposed to be the one who's gotta go fast, dang
I'm not caught up. Did the Nate the Hate podcast cause them to spiral?I'm not touching the Direct speculation thread without a 10 foot pole right now
HOLY SHIT WHAT???????I did not have a TWEWY Acoustic album by the original composer on my bingo card for this year.
Looks like you're removes sunglasses in the dog house puts on larger pair of sunglassesAwww man I said I'd feed the dog and then I went to work without doing it, @chocolate_supra will kill me.
Okay BINGLE, come get food! BINGLE! It's in the BOWL!
