I thoroughly enjoyed XBC2 (and I played entirely in portable mode) and am loving XBC1 despite only being a little over an hour in. I tried XBCX a little bit but didn't get very far into it.

I just finished by second play through of Breath of the Wild. Completed every single quest, did every shrine, finished both DLCs, did not collect every korok seed because I'm not that much of a sperg lord. I don't know what to do with myself now. I need another game to fill the void. Skyrim's not my thing. Subnautica was great after the first time I played through BotW. Link's Awakening was cute but just "ehh". Just need something that gives me the feeling of being on a big adventure full of discovery. It's way too long until BotW2.

Any old Metroid game particularly Super Metroid. Detective No. 27 posted:Hopefully it gets some massive patches to optimize it. But it's fine? I know I don't care much about frame rate, but the slow-down if anything, mirrored the slow-down the original had when transitioning, which while not ideal I guess?, was never a real issue, and if anything is rather authentic. JohnnySmitch posted:It starts off like a basic mini golf game, but it’s packed with tons of different game styles in little bite-sized challenges, many with silly unexpected surprises. I’m probably 1/4 of the way though, and so far I’ve played levels cribbing Mario, Flappy Bird, Rocket League, Portal, Angry Birds, Slime San, bowling, soccer, and a ton of other weird twists on golf. Thanks, sounds neat, but still not something I'd get. I was wondering if it was Frog Fractions off.

I second hollow knight. Go in without a guide (at least until you finish and want to do the super secret hidden stuff still) and it's a super fun and satisfying world to discovery. I just played it for the first time this past week, couldn't keep my hands off it. Excellent game.

Is Goldar a Kaiju? Does he shift between Kaiju and not Kaiju? If he is always a Kaiju then so is Bowser. Also grows giant in Sunshine, Inside Story, 1000 Year Door, Yoshi's Island series, 3D World

Away all Goats posted:So I don't really care about the graphic issues/non-issues of XBC. I've never played any of the xenoblade games but someone described it as having MMO-like combat? Is there aggro and skill cooldowns? I'm one of those brokebrained people that liked playing as a tank in WoW. MMO inspired definitely. I had trouble with it for a while because I'm a knobhead and ignored the big pop up that said "IT'S ALL ABOUT AGGRO MANAGEMENT". Reyn got his tank stance skill and I said "Deals less damage? gently caress that" and didn't put it on his bar.

No don't beat yourself up, you are correct. Every character should only do their max damage skill at all time. It is the game design that is wrong.

pyrotek posted:I don't understand why they cut out the tree branches swaying, but other than that it clearly looks the best, even with a resolution drop compared to the emulators. They had to trim small corners to include higher res textures I suppose. I doubt I would have noticed while running around in game. I certainly would not have remembered it existed in the original game a decade ago to even make the comparison.

Secret of Mana came out when I was 16 and as a result I did not play it. Now that I’m old and not constantly high I decided to finally give it a go. I hesitantly shelled out the $40 for the collection, booted it up, and HOLY poo poo this is the most gorgeous loving game I have ever seen. God drat!

I went to school to become a tank. Now, enemies might always attack me, but don't worry, I also do less damage. I am a damage dealer. I do a ton of damage and enemies don't give a gently caress! I basically don't exist to them

I'll admit the story wasn't very captivating when compared to earlier entries but persona games are already kinda campy and cringe so this never bothered me. Hell you get a grade school child and a freaking dog as a party member in fan favorite "lol so dark" Persona 3. Don't get me started on the stupid rear end robot character Though I do like it when any mega ten game leans towards horror or macabre and yeah P4/P5 kept it very light in this regard

The game is also held in very high regard by the gaming community at large. I'm just saying things that are general consensus from what I've heard of people who didn't think the game was deserving of its praise.

The story of P5 starts on a high note and then every arc is way worse than the first one. It's also obviously a game about teenage rebellion written by old men who don't want the rock the boat. If you are going bring those themes into a game you need to actually be brave enough to actually say something with it instead of chickening out of anything substantial. P4 is also guilty of similar writing issues. Also it was way too long, everyone kept repeating the same basic plot points over and over again and the pacing was really bad. I think it's an ok game (and stylish as all hell) but not an all time classic or anything. Andrast fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 28, 2020 |

For sure, and yeah I can't fault anyone who was disappointed with the way the plot plays out. It was aite I guess, I kinda expected it to be a little tighter or more exciting towards the last acts. And yeaaaah it's a long game. Only reason I got through it in a few weeks was due to the lockdown Andrast posted:The story of P5 starts on a high note and then every arc is way worse than the first one This actually bothered me a ton this time around. Why is the first villian the best? Why are the next three just....not cool or interesting? The last few are a little better but they're still one note boring cardboard cut outs whereas the first guy was a relentless dick I hated. And in general why are the boss designs so bad? I did love the game a lot! But I could have loved it way more. KingSlime fucked around with this message at 16:42 on May 28, 2020 |
