To continue on the Luck stat question from last thread, surprised nobody mentioned SotN, which explicitly has a mode that tanks your other stats for Luck. (and luck mode, imo, is the best way to play the game). Also, my power went out so I was stuck for awhile. Played a bunch of Startropics on the Switch NES Arcade or w/e, and that game is terrific.

did anyone else play Absolver? it is like my favorite game that is not great and nobody plays. It has such cool art, great music, and the animations are hands down the best martial arts stuff of any game I’ve ever seen, made better by the fact that they actually matter, a LOT. You can design your own style, and getting decent flow and coverage is essential. Like, I can’t think of a game that does martial arts as well, including actual fighting games. It can be hard, and the content is ultimately PVP at the end (PvE runs out pretty quickly), and designing your own fighting styles can actually be realll, really hard. But it is also a game where when you are nailing it, you feel like a psychic god. I guess the best description is like... Wuxia Dark Souls For Honor like it has flaws, but i would love to see an Absolver 2 someday, or a game heavily inspired by Absolver. I am utterly enchanted by the game still, despite not playing it that much.

add lttp randomizer to switch and i will pay like $150 for that tbh, with as many amazing randomizers for classic titles are out there, I'm waiting to see which major developer will be the first to repackage something from their back catalog with a randomizer. Like, different games vary in quality for randomizer, but Free Enterprise for FFIV, and LTTP, Super Metroid, or even LTTP + Super Metroid randomizer are works of art, and honestly amazing. I mean, it's not that I'm asking for companies to monetize the free experience of randomizers, but on the other hand, I would kill for Switch access to that stuff.

In Legend of Dragoon, if you're really getting bogged down by combat, or getting tired of the timing presses, there's an accessory at a market town somewhere in the first half of the game that's pretty expensive but called like Wargod's Belt (or something, it has been like two decades), that'll make you auto-succeed all the button presses. I'm not saying it's the best way to play the game, and is certainly very lazy, but like, it helped me power through the game to learn about the cool story of MELBU FRAHMA. I actually really loved that game, and still have music from it in my library.

I've been slowly playing through the FF franchise for a lark, mostly doing 100% stuff, filling out all the bestiary and doing any content, and I'm up to FF5! Should I do it 100% or do some sort of Job Fiesta challenge, help me out thread!

Barudak posted:Have you ever played FFV before? If no theres no reason to do a Job Fiesta challenge. If you have, theres pretty much no reason not to do a job challenge run. Oh yeah, I've played through it a couple of times and done a job fiesta before, but it's been awhile. I just can't decide which I'd have more fun with and I'm rapidly approaching the wind crystal this very second!!

For ‘what game do you want a Fighting Game of’: Hollow Knight - a lot of the spritework and artstyle is mega cute, and a lot of the animations of some of the combatants are already really fighting game looking. Grimm/NKG’s moves are already like a dragonpunch, divekick, etc. For my Three Games You Like More: FFX - I honestly think Spira has some of the tightest narrative theming and best writing of the franchise - there’s a lot of really cool stuff about cycles, traditions and institutional power. Spira also has a really neat fashion style. Tidus and Yuna’s romance plot is one of the most developed of the franchise too - much more than a ‘this one is the boy, this one is the girl, duh! obviously romance!’, there’s a lot of really cool stuff done because of the fact that literally everyone knows Yuna is going to die, and they are all helping her towards her death - except Tidus knows nothing about that, and has been helping her along. And it all culminates in that nifty little scene in the Macalania woods where Yuna has hit rock bottom and everything is falling apart. (Actually, a lot of the game works a little differently if you take Yuna as the protagonist and Tidus as her Manic Pixie Dream Guy.) And here’s the part where my appreciation really gets unconventional: Blitzball is actually really cool, and I enjoy it a lot. Drafting a cool team with cool looking players is fun. Also the way the stats scale changes dramatically as the entire league levels, and the game becomes really really different. It hits a cool stride around level 25+ish, where abilities become super important, status effects are really important, and your player choices matter a lot. If you make it to level 90+, the Kilika Beasts become ungodly powerful because of the way their stat growth works, and it’s just a cool game with a lot of depth that people don’t appreciate!!! ANYWAY - Sleeping Dogs is really amazing and I think one of the best games of that genre I 100%’d that game like 3 times (twice in the normal version and again for HD Edition), and I still love the city, the driving, the radio, the characters, the story, the gameplay. I was the #1 ranked player in the Triad Wars (multiplayer Sleeping Dogs spinoff thing) closed beta for awhile, despite the game not being great, because I’d just fiend that game. 3rd would probably be like... Dota? I’ve played Dota for well over a decade, put thousands of hours into it, and it has charged me nothing. And to this day, I still learn and get better, and I never play the same game twice. No other game has come close to the depth and replayability, and yet getting anyone to speak fondly about it is incredibly hard.

Rarity posted:This isn't a valid choice because everyone knows FFX is great tbh, in the past, like 95% of the time it gets brought up, people just link the laugh scene or complain about blitzball, and more lately, its kinda overshadowed by the “FF8/FF9 was the best one” meme, or lost amidst the newer ones, or maybe it just seems that way to me! e: yeah, or the people who do like it often like FFX-2 even more!

I kinda missed the whole YIIK thing but I saw some clips and read about the bad stuff, so like, okay, it’s definitely mega bad. But what I can’t figure out is why it was so talked about? Like, there’s a lot of doofy MS Paint webcomics out there that are bad and novody reads, or rpg maker games that are bad. And nobody talks about them because they’re bad and everyone moves on But with the YIIK thing I feel like I missed some of the build up, because I see tons of people talking about it seriously like a Real Game, and how they had high hopes, or were disappointed, etc. I guess what I’m saying is I’m confused what the buildup or story around the game coming about was? There is context I think I missed and all I saw was the reaction.

Shindragon posted:The sad thing is after that Sleeping Dogs MMO bomb? Probaby closed down. Yeah, I actually played a lot of Triad Wars (the game you're referring to.) It was basically the game of Sleeping Dogs - the city, the citizens, the cars, except you're playing a (very very limited*) create-a-character, with a sort of clicker/farmville thing where you'd build a base with like, a chop shop, or criminal enterprises. For instance, you might have a factory making knock-off electronics or fashion, then a night-market where you can fence those goods and turn them into cash, etc. The cool thing about this was that those businesses or factories or whatever you built, those were actual buildings inside your base, filled with npcs and your gang members and stuff. Kinda neat. The game was asynchronous and you didn't interact directly with other players, but what you'd do is raid THEIR bases and like, steal goods they'd produced but hadn't laundered yet, or cash they hadn't picked up after laundering yet. Raiding their base was basically like tearing through a set piece in Sleeping Dogs, you just bust in there, and there's a bunch of gang members hanging out at each business, like the gambling den. You clear your way to the penthouse or apartment or w/e where their PC is waiting as an NPC along with a gang. You take out their gang, probably with gunplay, and fight their PC which was usually safest to do hand to hand. The fighting was a bit more involved than Sleeping Dogs base game, more like the Zodiac Tournament DLC stuff. Other than that, there were also missions you could do to get more cash, or to acquire goods you needed for some reason but didn't produce yourself (like a mission of hijacking some electronics in a truck on the highway). There was stuff you could do to make raiding your base harder, etc. Like it was really really a huge slog when raiding some guy who had the best thugs with weapons and fast grapplers and stuff. For the most part, most NPCs would pull out guns when you had a gun, but wouldn't if you didn't, I don't think? Forgot exactly how that mechanic worked. It was a really pretty basic gameplay loop, but I found it pretty fun. I was the #1 player for one phase of the beta, and #5 or 6 along with another SA poster for another phase. I feel like, it could have done with a LOT more character customization, as dressing up your gangster was pretty cool, especially since other players see your gangster when they raid your base. I also really wanted lady gangsters and pushed on the devs a bit during the alpha, they were kind of non-committal "We're thinking about it", oh well! Also, I feel like the concept could have been knocked out of the park with some more customization of your gang. But the game is actually just the entire base game of Sleeping Dogs' open world where you seamlessly walk into/drive into enemy bases that are at a few different possible locations around the city. So it feels like you could do so much with just enriching that part of the game. And, as a personal thing, I always thought Mordor's nemesis/orc captain system is perfect for a Triad game, basically generating Red Poles and Blue Lanterns and stuff like, New Shoes Zi, gangster who wears nice shoes, idk. So basically, do Mordor 2's fort raiding system with Sleeping Dogs open world and gangsters, and it would own. I have a few junk screenshots, dunno what happened to my good ones:    "It's me, Definitely Not Wei Shen." e: tl;dr: my point is, pour one out for UGO who got roped into making farmville triads and it never got out the door.

Also, there was some stuff about your fighting style where you could kinda pick and choose which upgrades you took which mixed up your attack string and made fighting a bit different than just 'Model Swapped Wei Shen', but that wasn't fully developed. Still, seemed like a cool idea.

Jay Rust posted:I played about ten minutes of the Octopath demo, the font is too small for my old man eyes just take a guess what any of the dialogue is and you'll probably be right I wanted to love that game a bunch for it's classic jrpg stuff and the neat little battle systems and such, but oh my god, not having any of the characters really talk to each other, or say or do anything especially interesting ever, is a really bold choice that doesn't pay off. For some reason I don't remember it bothering me when playing SaGa Frontier but I feel like they may have done a better job with... all of the story stuff. Octopath is just so... Like, it's not bad. Just so boring, and nothing surprising or terribly interesting ever happens, bleugh. The music is fantastic at certain points though, and they do a lot of cool things with music transitions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tq9G01292A
