I know this is a hot take but I liked it because of the D-Counter, rather than in spite of it For those who don't know, the basic idea is that Ryu's dragon form in that game stupidly, completely, and in all ways breaks combat utterly in two - BUT. Using dragon-stuff increases a % called the D-Counter which can never be reduced, and if it hits 100% Ryu dies (quite horribly, IIRC) and the game ends People hated that - why the gently caress would you put a limiter on the game series' showpiece, right? - but thinking back it made for more interesting combat and decision making in the long run. To me at least, in other BoF games base-Ryu may as well have not existed once he can do the Trogdor thing. (There's also the ways the ironically-named SOL system could exploit it for fun & profit) Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Feb 1, 2021 |

Jay Rust posted:I’ve not played this D-Counter game but based on the description, my gamotype (conservative, perfectionist, OCD) means that I would never ever use the cool dragon powers Yeahhhh, but At a time when single digits weren't uncommon Ryu could D-Dive and get three or four digits repeatedly and with almost no setup; that's one hell of a powerful temptation

Mechanical mandible posted:It’s been a looooong time since I played it, so I might be misremembering. Once you conked out at 100%, you had to start from the beginning of the game again; however, the story/path through the game changed right? every time you had to restart - be it for your reason or beating it, or arbitrarily - you're assigned a D-Ratio, from 1/8192 down to the titular 1/4, and that ratio locks extra rooms, the odd encounter, and pieces of story that add context - dunno if it was much more than that

nier automata has the best fishing minigame in that it has hardly any gameplay and nothing ever requires it, and you get cute bits of writing for it ironic, considering the previous game

I need a little spoiler-ish help with Outer Wilds. Brittle Hollow's , er, brittle-ness is still giving me the hibbly-jibblies real bad; are the places/times it demonstrates that random, or can I at least be assured of myself in select areas?

Khanstant posted:Yes, no. That area _is_ random. Each chunk of the place has its own HP bar (visible when u slap a scout on it), there are random projectiles from the nearby projectile generator, and depending on where it hits and how frequently, diff section fall in sooner or later. Some areas naturally have lower HP and are more likely to fall in earlier, but there is no set pattern. Thanks for the info. I spent some time exploring and I know what the penalty is now, so it's a little less daunting That being said, even knowing that, doing it still curdles my stomach enough to make me

Khanstant posted:How do you feel bout rollercoasters? I'm mostly indifferent, i don't like being knocked about and im not that into being physically pushed around at velocity. I dunno what it is though, artificially inducing that weird feeling is different. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a kind of unpleasant feeling, but something about it being fake and me being safe and just doing actual mindgames to my mind, makes me appreciate it in a weird way. Rollercoasters are fuckin' great, I haven't been on one in years and I miss them. Adding 'look for a nearby-ish theme park' to my post-pandemic list I also really want to go paragliding someday, to add further context. Brains're weird!

exquisite tea posted:He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic. ... what?
