I finally got around to setting up my Saturn in my new apartment and tried playing some Nights. I have no idea what the fuck was going on. I get that you have to gather orbs to kill the jellyfish robot thing, and then bring back its power orb to the initial pedestal within a time limit, but other than that ???? Rings increase your score, hitting enemies lowers your time. Got it. But it's not really intuitive how movement works. Sometimes it's 2-D, other times you move into and/or circle around the background elements at predetermined spots. There's no real rhyme or reason to it -- it kind of just happens whenever the game designers want it to.
I timed out on the first boss because I didn't know wtf to do. I kept hitting it and it kept collapsing and reforming. What looked like its health bar slowly chipped away, but it took way too long. There was definitely a correct way of doing it. Anyway, the game kicked me back to the title screen after that, and after all that progress. That sucked major dongus.
I didn't read the manual, but I like games to be intuitive or to have a simple tutorial.
Holy fuck is the 3D controller every comfy though, damn.
