How do you plan to toggle things without the cursor?Guy Goodbody posted:Speaking of Captain Toad, do the diamonds and extra challenge things in each level do anything? I know you need a certain number of diamonds to progress at certain points, but beyond that do they unlock anything, like extra levels or costumes? You need to collect a certain number of diamonds to open later stages in a book or whatever you want to call it.

Target canceled my orders. Guy Goodbody posted:Speaking of Captain Toad, do the diamonds and extra challenge things in each level do anything? I know you need a certain number of diamonds to progress at certain points, but beyond that do they unlock anything, like extra levels or costumes? I believe you need all the diamonds to unlock the very final levels. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jul 16, 2018 |

You have to do all of both to unlock the final level. The time trials and pixel toads are just for fun.

American McGay posted:It's like BOTW in the sense that screenshots and even videos don't really do it justice, but if you're sitting down playing it you don't notice it at all and it's actually quite enjoyable. The lighting contrast is still pretty over the top at times. I don't think I can make my character not glow like the sun when they're in caves or other darkened areas with burning light sources unless I make the screen excessively dark overall. I wish you could toggle random encounters as long as your level is at or higher than the area's difficulty. IE: Don't let a level 1 person turn off encounters and rush to level 50 areas to loot end game gear at zero risk (not that it's too difficult atm, especially if you have the passives to reduce encounters) but if I'm level 35 and want to not fight stuff in the level <30 areas then that'd be lovely. Your Computer posted:ah, yes I know Tressa's overrated but I don't think she's the worst part of the game. Modus Pwnens posted:For one thing, it's ASTOUNDING, full caps, that they didn't localize the Secret of Mana collection. Yeah that will always be bullshit. Especially with the low-budget 3D Secret of Mana remake that they then sold. Localization costs can't be that bad and even if it 'only' sold a couple hundred thousand copies it'd still likely be a net gain for them as well as finally letting us have an official English version of SD3. Yet they gave us the Romancing SaGa 2 remaster. I said come in! posted:I miss SNES, and PSX square. Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, all of their PSX games pretty much. I remember when the Squaresoft and Enix merger was announced, thinking "they're going to combine and make some non-stop amazing games with all that talent." How naive I was...  Libluini posted:Or do start with her, especially if you played Pokemón a lot -you'll spend a lot of time capturing enemies and letting them do battle for you. (I may be biased though because I'm playing the game in German, so no old-timey English for me!) The downside to H'aanit is that if you're exploring a lot she's going to suffer for it. I have Cyrus and Therion dropping an ungodly amount of damage on enemies (I fully cleared a level 50 dungeon earlier, with a team in the 25-33 range) because I have a ton of badass gear for my party due to exploration/theft. H'aanit, being only in the mid 20s, has less than a 30% chance to capture one of those enemies when it's in the red, stunned, and she uses a maxxed out capture. Maybe I could try to mercy strike one down to 1 HP too but that's playing a dangerous game because if given the opportunity those enemies can still murder my party. Meanwhile Primrose can allure NPCs (at a maybe 30% success rate) who cast 3-hit elemental spells and are themselves more than a match for those same high-level monsters I'm fighting. I still hold some hope that she'll shine eventually but in the face of party members using gear from areas 2x their level her pokemans are... less than impressive.

Has anyone jumped ship from PS4 Fortnite to Switch? I’m still holding out but it sucks not being able to link my PS4 to the Switch version. PS4 has my favorite controller ever and better performance/graphics but the possibilities of portable Fortnite are awesome. I honestly don’t care much about gyro controls even though I’m enjoying them for the most part in BotW so that’s not a huge draw.

I started playing on Switch but the gyro is really good and the game doesn’t feel as horribly unbalanced for me now when I’m in games with PC players.

DLC Inc posted:it helps that the combat section of Octopath isn't standard "hammer the same abilities/Attack button forever" fare as older JRPGs, but relies on actual strategy within classes/subclasses and being able to break defenses and understand the abilities/weaknesses of enemies through trial and error, research, and the natural skills of your party. It's probably even better than Bravely games in terms of how satisfying combat+skill acquisition goes and so far it's never been as braindead as some other JRPGs tend to get with even random battles. There isn't as many random scrub battles as say FF6 but most battles, especially as things scale up in higher-danger areas, feel very genuinely engaging and fun. I forget where it was mentioned, but "if you're about to break an enemy but they already acted, guard instead and do it on the next turn" is such a huge thing in Octopath. Why? Because breaking an enemy means they lose their action for the current turn and next turn. As a result, if they already acted they lose one turn;s actions. If they haven't acted yet they lose two turns worth of actions. That can be huge when you're fighting bosses (or enemies far above your own level). Also means you'll have an extra BP on everyone once the enemy's in break mode, allowing for even more hurt to be put on them.

Evil Fluffy posted:Yet they gave us the Romancing SaGa 2 remaster. I'm still puzzling over that decision. Secret of Mana is something even old grandpas know about, while mentioning Romancing SaGa 2 would only earn me confused looks. I know anecdotes aren't reliable, but I'm fairly sure Secret of Mana is well-known enough to earn a port or two. Hell, when I bought my sister one of those tiny SNES-things for Christmas, she was overjoyed to find Secret of Mana as a part of the games on it -she originally only wanted something to play Super Mario World on. But instead of translating the Secret of Mana collection, we get a bad remake and an super-obscure game.

Non-linear open world JRPGs are in vogue right now and that's SaGa's entire gimmick. So they're pushing SaGa again and how else are they supposed to make it not obscure to a Western audience other than actually releasing the games? There's 3 remakes/new games coming overseas and Octopath Traveler is essentially a SaGa game with a different name.

FWIW I set two 3DS games for pickup and received an email at 8:05 this morning saying I could pick them up, but a store manager canceled the order exactly one hour later. I just wanted to get DQ7 and the newest Layton game for my girlfriend before a month-long trip to India. Looks like those who chose shipping are more likely to get their stuff.

Looks like you got a manager who actually looked at how much you paid and realized it was a goofup.

My experience was the exact opposite, I chose store pickup and had my order there when I got there. I just had to be there exactly at 8 because I knew it would get canceled if I didn't. I think people who chose store pickup and were proactive are the most likely to get their stuff, followed by online orders that got canceled who then called in to complain.

I picked my store pickup up at like 1pm.  It does seem weird how random it is though. A guy who tried to get Octopath for $34 (The 20off50 code and one single 15% code) got his order cancelled but another dude who got a half price Switch (stacking at least 4-5 15% codes) got his shipped.

Hollow Knight has broken me. I admit defeat. After beating my face against Soul Master a good half a dozen times last night, I tried again tonight. Another handful of deaths before I got his pattern down and started feeling like a badass, THEN I BEAT HIM. OR SO I THOUGHT! No, he breaks through the floor and starts dive bombing you over and over. I didn't even realize what was happening and then WHOOPSIE I'm dead again. And it doesn't checkpoint you after that so I had to treck ALL the way back and beat him AGAIN. Then TWO more times, dying after the GOTCHA phase. Then one of those teleporting dudes on the way to him double killed me on the way to pick up my Shade and I died again. I'm done. There is only so much frustration I can take. Quality game and all. The lose all your money thing if you die twice is just too much of a gut punch.

I beat him a few days ago and I beat him with 1 life remaining on my 3rd try and was doing a victory celebration when he came back to life and dive bombed me. I died more on his 2nd form until I realized my habit of trying to heal was getting me killed. Just dash around until he stops moving then you get a few hits in. Rinse and repeat.
