Getting your ass handed to you by a Bag o' Laughs in DQ1 HD-2D feels good. Feels organic. I feel like they would have wanted to do this to you in the original DQ1 in 1985. Exactly as mean and evil as stuff they did in the original. It feels like something you kinda-sorta remember happening while playing it on the NES.
I get it on some level, but the fact that they let you crit with a boomerang is nuts.
This might have been the case in DQ3 HD-2D, but as I have played DQ3 probably 50+ times and rarely-to-never use boomerangs, I definitely did not notice it the way I did in DQ1.
