I know that there's different tastes in gaming, different gaming experiences lead to different gaming expectations, and so on. But FFXII has too many status effects. That is an undeniable fact. There is not a single rational person on earth who would defend Stop, Disable, and Sleep all being different status effects with different items to cure them. That is indefensible.

Its a budget game in the vein of Endless Ocean where there are 0 threats and you just catalog actual earth sea life and swim around and there seems to be no way to lose. Some sort of story happening about stopping illegal undersea mining as I study a whale pod.

Those three have been separate status effects with different causes and cures for all of FF!

There is only one enemy in FF14 that is powerful enough to cast Stop That's the flavor distinction too, Stop is powerful time magic and in some games does not wear off so if the whole party gets Stop it's considered a death state since no one can reverse it Sleep is a physical status effect that a lot of random plants sometimes cause and can be cured with a whack to the head

I think I am fully burned out on Hitman for now, what a great game, I'll certainly be back to do challenges and browse all the extra options but man, best in class as far as level design goes Now, time to sit and give this Outer Wilds game a proper go

I apologize, a correction: there are two enemies in FF14 that inflict Stop, one of them is only in the Astrologian job story though. Bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Vfh1EogB8

ff12 does have a lot of status effects and disease is the one i found most annoying, especially since i totally missed grabbing cleanse when i could on my last playthrough. i think bubble might cure it also?

Kerrzhe posted:i love subnautica, what is Beyond Blue? I have never heard of it It looks cool but not very Subnautica-y? More like Ocean Pokemon Snap, it's only 2-3 hours long. Seems lovely and more grounded in reality than Subnautica and I'd pick it up given the chance to try it at the right price. Doesn't look like there are any survival elements, and non of that scary exploration feeling of fear/thrill entering those vast dark spaces. They just load you in to next zone. These sames like a dop game to play in Science class on one of those days where the teacher just makes you watch Shrek.

This morning thinking about how cool the moment in FF14 was when you get Stop cast against you. And they built it up like six patches in advance with the boss that used Slow and that was a big deal

Thronebreaker is a weird game because the good stuff is all the decision making I do, not the Gwent. Then that got severely derailed when the game decided the absolute best of my meager cards should be gated behind letting them commit some atrocities. Im not sure if the devs knew they were your best card and thus made them an atrocity fountain, but Ive made a lot of decisions I would not otherwise make so my genocide lady stays with me. And seriously, why is this game so stingy with cards. My strategy has not changed since Act 2 in large part because I don't have enough cards to do anything else even if I wanted to. Also, every puzzle is basically a bunch of one off rules, many of which you cannot intuit without letting the puzzle play out often necessitating a failure, and in one case just straight referencing a better card game. This is all terrible, and feels like a protracted admittance that Gwent is not a particularly deep strategic game. Barudak fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jul 5, 2020 |

I do still want to play more Final Fantasies but they're a pretty big time investment so I'd rather not bother with any of the bad ones. Could you guys tell me which Final Fantasy games are good and which ones are bad?

Alexander Prime uses Temporal Stasis in the A12 raid

Gripweed posted:I do still want to play more Final Fantasies but they're a pretty big time investment so I'd rather not bother with any of the bad ones. Could you guys tell me which Final Fantasy games are good and which ones are bad? the large kinda glib answer is IV-X(2) since you're already playing 12 from there i think you can cut IV unless you're really interested in the history of the thing as it's kind of a 'default' jrpg and the whole genre builds on it. not a bad game,just one that imo hasn't aged as well. V i think isn't good without some kind of challenge run like the 4 job fiesta unless you really like messing with job systems. VI and VII hold up (the 7 remake is also fantastic but unless time is a factor i think 7r really benefits from having played 7) VIII is divisive, I like it a lot but maybe come back around to it if you want more FF after some of the more all-around strong entries. IX is a solid game that's also completely safe, a common favorite because of that and as such because it's easy to digest and asks less of the player. X might be where I'd send anyone just wanting to play a good FF. So in short if you wanna hit just the highlights I'd say VI, VII, X are the go-to games without delving into non-mainline stuff

Rinkles posted:did others also mostly stick with with the default northern realms gwent deck? w3 not thronebreaker. i'd play more nilfgaard if i had more of its spies I stuck with Northern Realms mostly because it was the only deck I was getting cards for for the longest time. By the time I had a decent deck of the others I was just easy mode winning with Northern Realms every game so I just stuck with it.

That and a bunch of the spies or stealing dudes. also those cards that are like "gently caress your opponent in a major way ez" or like "just go ahead and double your points, wouldnt that be funny?" and oh yeah "just summon poo poo for showing up" is a broken gimmick to win with too
