I'm playing it. I think it's an interesting evolution of the last one in that it's got the same skill system from that game but now explicitly tells you "there are challenge modes from moment one that you have to learn to play better in, no grind will save you" and the puzzle pieces are an interesting way to gently caress with build or specialize for stages? The gameplay seems the same to me except much more in the vein of a mechanics puzzle because of the Trial stages and that is the kind of thing I wish more games did. I loving love them.

Foils are definitely still around but I very much wonder if they've adjusted something about them/if some people hoarding them or failing to sell them is adjusting the rate of new ones down. I see a lot less than I once did and I get a few boosters a week.

Orv posted:I think LotF got a lot more poo poo than it deserved when it came out as basically the first Souls clone out of the gate but now that others have come out and are actually good it's not worth playing. But it should be noted that unlike some devs (see, the Souls team themselves), every single time those dudes gently caress up, they learn in the next release. Go look at LOTF vs The Surge 1 sometime and realize "oh poo poo, wow"

Ugly In The Morning posted:I loved the GBC version, how does it compare to the NES one? I understand there were some pretty big differences. The GBC version is terrible. Smaller screen real estate and it fucks with balance by doing something with the elemental swords that I don't recall the specifics of but it makes certain areas a real pain in the rear end.

Xaris posted:Sacred 1 and 2 were neat, mostly in part because they had some real crazy classes to play, a kind of insanity not seen in any others. a weird flawed euro-janky game though. i wouldn't replay them today though, too many good games. shame Ascaron never really succeeded and lol sacred 3 I mean, the real shame is that the ex-devs trying to do the spiritual successor folded when one of their key programmers died. That was a long depressing rabbit hole to chase one night.

Cardiovorax posted:Revelations 2 is a pretty good game and getting the whole thing for a tenner is a solid deal. I will second this: if you get this bundle, don't sleep on RE: Revelations 2. It is very clearly a step between RE6's weird issues and RE7's mix of grim horror and black comedy, and it has a lot of really cool reactivity between the two stories (one character is coming in after the other, so if you set off traps to make things easier for the first, now you have to disarm as the second, or branching paths you might close off per, or...) Also the Burton family owns and this is the most Burton by volume in the series.

As someone who just 100%ed Shadow recently (literally the week of the final update patch, in fact, they had to bugfix a treasure for me to do so), I'll definitely say it's the weakest of the three, but it's not garbage? It's just got three incredibly bad ideas bundled into it. a) gently caress that village so hard. It's big, it is weirdly unoptimized (swimming back to it from a side dungeon at one point it actually made the game pop up a "NOW LOADING" message over my screen), and about 60% of the game takes place in or directly around it, which leads into... b) "We went to all the trouble of making a cool mix and match set of gear for bonuses and dress-up and we're locking you into a region where you must wear one of 3 outfits all game long. And one of those three is DLC. And if you ever visit this area we're going to auto-equip one of those three over whatever you had on." c) Combat, especially if you like to be a stealthy hunter, is better than ever. The tombs are better than ever. The game has decided to balance these by going about 30/70 on them and the massive weight of the tombs (not counting the fresh DLC stuff that's all designed around one concept apiece and makes a tiny mini-campaign, which rule) mean that you miss combat more and the tombs become very, very repetitive by endgame if you're not spacing them out with... nothing, there's nothing else. If you dug the last two, I'd say it's worth it, especially cheap (and ESPECIALLY with the DLC, which owns), but holy poo poo it is no contest which entry in the new stuff is the weakest now that this exists. However, just like the last two games, when it goes all in on combat for a little while, it does kick rear end (looking at you oil rig sequence)

Awesome! posted:so one step from eden is included in humble choice this month but its a drm free copy? is there any way to see all the possible options without buying it? im only seeing previous months. i havent really looked at this since it changed over from the old monthly system. Downloading it it's listed as "exclusive demo". It's not the full game. It says a lot about how good Humble is at publicity that this apparently got added 3/4 and nobody noticed or began talking it up until the game itself released.

It's also not a straight port. It's confirmed to be some tier of remake, new VA for the whole thing, and the staff being cagey about if it's gonna be "just" Nier again.

Begemot posted:Yeah, I was pretty pessimistic after how back the Secret of Mana remake was, but the demo has me really excited for [Trials of Mana]. I love SD3, and this feels like a great modern update of it. The thing that has me incredibly curious about the scope of this remake is that apparently there is now a) a NG+ and b) there is a tier 4 of classes in NG+, which implies that maybe they rescaled the bonus boss content/are giving you a reason to do a run with the characters you didn't before for more gameplay.

Oh, ohhhhh, I see what you're saying. No, far as I know the old tree is all in there and I hadn't run the math in my head. You're right. Maybe T4 is just binary, gently caress you? They are not doing the best messaging on this.

I'm in the middle of Y0 right now myself and add me to the "god the cabaret club sucks" crew. I may be a bit of an outlier because I'm... 76 hours in and only at chapter 11 due to going ham on all the goals and side games in Kiryu's half of the story. My biggest beef with the cabaret stuff versus the real estate (which I've already 100%ed) is that the cabaret is full attention at all times, especially in the club combats, but I can start the real estate collection and then go do other poo poo. Minigame multitasking. Cabaret brings my gameplay to a screeching halt 5-10 minutes at a time depending on how much prep and training I do before each run of the club. Again, though, this may be an OCD thing because I'm gaining on 80% done and the biggest remaining things for me right now are cabaret goals, fishing, and teaching myself to play mahjong/shogi. No Wave posted:I liked Y0's plot. I still can't remember why Kiryu was framed though At least where I'm at, dunno if this changes: It's a move by one of the other lieutenants to cause the disgrace and downfall of Kiryu's mentor so a captain's position can open up for them. \/\/ edit: you are not wrong and that real estate battle was infuriating claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Apr 29, 2020 |

StrixNebulosa posted:Caligula Effect: not owned, on wishlist, no more highschools please So re: Persona and Caligula Effect. One of the main writers on the game was the guy who did Persona... 1 and 2. And the game's plot can be taken as a critique of what that franchise became when he left as you realize it's "people exiling themselves in a simulated high school eternally fleeing the harsher aspects of reality for a regressive fantasy". Which is part of why it's next on my list.

It had a way rockier launch due to some microtransaction-based balancing that was later patched out, but the damage was done for a lot of folks and the spell was broken on a game that didn't do a lot of work to improvement on its predecessor.

FuzzySlippers posted:Is Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition any good? short answer: no longer answer: anything currently under the name "Harvest Moon" in this era is made by a western dev trying to capitalize on the trademark they used to localize the old games which has nothing to do with the real farm-sim dev team and tends to involve contractors who get kept around for two games tops and then canned for the next one to try shoveling poo poo out under the brand. (If you want the actual people who made those old games, seek Story of Seasons. I know the last one of those came to Steam.)

I look forward to seeing your take on it if you keep going, because a dude just did a post-along of their playthrough in the RPG thread and by endgame they were going "I am not letting this poorly designed piece of poo poo beat me". Protips without spoilers: keep track of where you sell any gear that isn't a common item, you might need it for like... specific boss fights. That's not a joke.
