Appoda posted:How's Cold Steel? Even more anime in that the protagonists are students but still it's Falcom. You can't go wrong with their games really. You really should give Trails in the Sky another chance. It's extremely slow at first but rewards you so much after it gets going. And it's best if you play the Sky trilogy before moving onto Steel.

This is on the 360, but either Fable Anniversary just sucks or Fable 1 really doesn't hold up anymore. I know the remastered graphics suck, but the load times are pretty bad too (and loading is every thirty seconds, these are short zones). I know the Steam version has an additional tweaked difficulty mode but it's sort of just boring now, too.

Appoda posted:How's Cold Steel? I much prefer it to TitS, the story and writing may not be as good, but the QoL improvements more than make up for it. There's a turbo mode to speed up combat and cutscenes, fast travel around town, and a minimap that actually tells you where your quest objectives are. They also simplified the orbment system so it's much easier to work with, though I kind of miss messing round trying to maximize all the different colours to unlock new spells.

Most of the turrets you find are already brutalized by other Typhon though, and the ones that aren't go down easily (esp. with an upgraded disruptor).

There are maybe 7-10 active turrets in the game total, all others are broken. they're not an issue.

turrets are pitiful in prey there is no real reason to fear or use them, considering the larger typhon enemies knock them down and destroy them extremely easily also the typhon powers are fun so use them

The most damning part of the turrets is that the common Phantom enemy has a physics explosion as their ranged attack which knocks the turret over, effectively disabling it in a single shot.

Speaking of Prey, retailers in Europe are already dumping their stock for 20€ (30 for consoles) like it's going sour. I just ordered a day one edition with the preorder DLC for 19.99 free shipping at gamestop Germany. SAD

Cojawfee posted:Well it's currently 30 bucks and it's really good. It's cheap enough that I am considering one of two options. One, a game that I've been waiting for years to play, that's prey, for 30 bucks. It's not a sequel to the original prey, but it doesn't have to be. I am willing to try what System Shock would look like this year. Two, a game that i've been waiting for years to play, that's Hellblade, for 30 bucks. I'm looking for a story, one that has the balls to show stuff you wouldn't show in most forms of entertainment.

Setting up a killzone with enough fortified turrets yeah you can kill some of the bigger guys (although not Technopaths) But just taking 1 level of Psychoshock also incapacitates those big guys and at that point you have any number of lethal options Not me though I like to be a human purist who also doesn't use turrets because Prey is super easy when you've got the fully-upgraded shotgun

Appoda posted:I did play a bit of Trails in the Sky, actually. The characters were surprisingly good! I fell off of it early on, in part because I had other stuff I was playing and also because the combat/presentation wasn't grabbing me (I think it was a PSP port), but I'll have to go back and give that one a look. Do you like Persona 3-5? Its basically aping a little bit of that with the links system but still maintaining that Legend of Heroes flavor. Also, which one of you wants to make your own Jurassic World Park?

Ok Hellblade is so goddamn pretty. Just so goddamn pretty. My sister played it, but I will probably give it a spin myself, to get the last 4 runes we missed.

There's a turbo mode that was patched in to TitS recently. The rest of your points are valid, though I think the only town that's big enough in TitS where fast travel would actually be useful is Grancel.

You'd be surprised how much it doesn't phase them. The idea didn't even cross my mind until some of them started talking about the stuff they watched on YouTube, this game is like nothing compared to that. You think all those kids don't watch Markipliers, Pewdiepies, etc.? Actually, they find Ib much scarier even though the game is much more benign in a way. FNAF is terrifying, by the way. I can't understand how these kids play it without getting a heart attack every few minutes. Grapplejack posted:Are they blind, there's even a sign!! And a road!! After this, I can believe the HL2 devs about simplifying that one tunnel because one of the testers kept getting lost. Blattdorf fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Aug 21, 2017 |
