Takoluka posted:I believe Persona 3 is responsible for reviving JRPGs in the West back when it came out. It was a huge deal. TIL FF12 never existed Also weird because I thought the "JRPGs died" mistaken idea usually referred to early HD era JRPGs we got in the west being underwhelming for a while, in which case you'd probably mean Persona 4, which also wasn't any sort of revival for JRPGs in the west

ExcessBLarg! posted:I don't think that's obvious, or necessarily what Nintendo "wants". Nintendo wants to make money (although, frankly that's not always obvious either based on their behavior), and if they think there's a physical market for a particular title then they want to sell to that market. Going fully-digital is not happening anytime soon (and I mean like in the next 20+ years), and both Sony and Nintendo know it. A good portion of the world doesn't have the kind of internet infrastructure and network bandwidth to pull down 20+GB games regularly for several million people simultaneously, and that's before dealing with issues like download caps.

A good portion of the world doesn't have the kind of internet infrastructure and network bandwidth to pull down 20+GB games regularly for several million people simultaneously, and that's before dealing with issues like download caps. Not only that, data caps are still a thing. My internet speed is fine but I have a 200GB cap before they start charging me for 50GB blocks. Having to download a 20 or 30GB game (or two) could cost me an extra $15+ easily with the amount of streaming tv I do. So not only is physical cheaper to begin with, it could potentially be like $30-35 more expensive to go digital.

Ventana posted:TIL FF12 never existed FF12 was extremely divisive at the time. People were still upset that FF11 was an MMO, and FF12 was just "putting that MMO real-time trash" in a single-player series that was traditionally turn-based. Don't get me wrong; I love it and think the Gambit system is great, but the general JRPG scene was not clamoring for it. And no, I distinctly remember Persona 3 being the game that made people go "the JRPG is finally back."

psychoJ posted:just got a switch today, recommend me some cheap good indie games, goons If by "cheap" you mean "stuff that's not a full-price $60 game": Shovel Knight goes almost without saying, it's basically NES-era platforming but with 30 years of QOL improvements to make it less tooth-grindingly frustrating. Axiom Verge is good if you liked Super Metroid but also don't come out of every Metroidvania game saying "well it's okay, but it's no Super Metroid". It's got good music and a similar blind exploration aesthetic, but kind of prioritizes "different weapons with different ranges/bullet patterns" as a gameplay mechanic, which may or may not appeal. Sonic Mania: If you liked Sonic 2/3/& Knuckles, you'll probably like Mania. If you didn't, you probably won't.  Steamworld Dig 2 is Steamworld Dig but a lot more of it and a lot more emphasis on interesting movement techniques beyond "don't accidentally gently caress yourself over by digging incorrectly". If you liked 1 you'll really like 2, and if you didn't like 1 you still might like 2 anyways because they improved the hell out of it. Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is a very, very faithful remake of a Master Drive game, with all that implies for game design. Great art, great soundtrack, not much replay value. Blaster Master 0, on the other hand, is a remake of Blaster Master but not quite so obsessed with being the same game as the original. Pretty good, and you can get different DLC characters with different abilities if that's up your alley. Azure Striker GUNVOLT is by the same devs as Megaman Zero, and it shows. It's two games in one so if "MMZ devs" sold you on it already then that's probably all you need to know. IMPLOSION is an isometric ARPG with really good controls, to the point that you wouldn't know it's a mobile port if someone didn't tell you that ahead of time. Pretty easy to get the hang of, decent replayability, and pretty satisfying from a hack and slash perspective. Pankapu is decent little Trine-alike, even if it takes a little while to actually get the multiple skillsets going. Ends a little abruptly, but it's good enough imo that if the devs announced a sequel I'd pick it up sight unseen. It's got some "backtrack to older levels with new abilities" going on, but it's also got a world map and discrete levels that makes it easy to keep track of what you missed without needing to keep a guide handy. Stardew Valley is...well, yeah. It's Harvest Moon, but good and on the switch.

Waltzing Along posted:I know it's an old game. What is it? A platformer? RPG? Weird kinda style about it, like the first indie game that got popular because it was a free download on the internet and it has a lot of weird endings and secrets. Now there's a lot of good platformers with cool stories and are really high-concept, so I don't know if it's groundbreaking anymore, but it's a fun game

Waltzing Along posted:How is Cave Story? I've never played it. It's a decent fairly-linear platformer (there are metroidvania aspects but by and large you'll progress from one area to the next as part of the plot with very little backtracking), but it's also pretty unforgiving: - One of the mechanics is that you pick up XP from killing enemies to level up your weapons and do more damage, but taking damage makes you lose XP. Getting hit can quickly snowball into a "doing less damage, taking longer to kill enemies, getting hit more" cascade, especially during boss fights when there's not usually anything that you can kill quickly to restore XP. - There are several endings, and the "better" ones tend to involve Sierra-style "oh you got to the end of the game but missed a thing an hour ago, guess you're going to have to play it again from scratch if you want to see a better ending" kind of gently caress-you deals. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, but there are definitely design aspects of it that are questionable at best and horribly frustrating if you're only barely scraping by on the platforming skill requirement, only to realize you'll have to redo it all again with one minor change to progress the plot. e: Also I'm pretty sure you can get it free for PC, and the only major changes are going to be "it's not on the switch" and "there's not a side story game mode" so you might want to at least check out the first 30-60 minutes and see if it's something you'd enjoy or not.
