played a lot of the ff14 resistance sidequest last week, the so called Save The Queen storyline. I appreciate that ff14 is a super streamlined themepark mmo where you barely need to talk to anyone if you don't want to because everyone intrinsically knows what to do, but also, I love these weirdass sandbox zones they make that operate on parallel universe everquest 2021 logic and no one really knows what the gently caress is going on. killing mobs to spawn bosses, that drop random overpowered consumable spells and items that can be combined in weird unobvious ways so everyone is operating on completely different levels. culminating in a dungeon thats multiple times larger than any other dungeon in the game and requires an unusual amount of cooperation with whatever random assholes you end up in there with (resistance handles this dramatically better than the last time they did this, where they spawned 56 portals and expected random people to walk through them but if you actually did you'd get yelled at and blacklisted by the discord cartel that organizes runs) there's a part in one of the dungeons where the raid has to organically split into groups to simultaneously rescue 6 hostages before they're executed. its not too strict, you can get away with 3 or 4 groups that rescue 2 hostages each, but invariably you rescue your guy and go down another hall to help out there and realize no one went that way to begin with and the guy just gets murdered. then a little later on there's a fight where halfway through you have to nominate 8 players to step up to another, tougher fight, and if they gently caress up everyone else dies. it usually goes fine but often it doesn't, and imagine the potentiality of 1) having to decide who out of 48 people are The Best, and then after they gently caress it up 2) having to do it again to decide No Really, Who is The Best, on a time limit. thats the kind of mmo drama and communication inefficiency I thrive on

also theres a fight in the zadnor dungeon where, after spending a couple hours fighting these bosses to level up and even get access to the dungeon, all the bosses reappear slightly amped up and are like "hope you remember our mechanics motherfucker, because now you're going to do them all back to back and at the same time", and i'm just pumping my fist the whole time, triumph of game design. rest of the dungeon isnt as good as that fight though, and the forced communication part there is much lamer than the prisoner rescue

Is the Bone Zone still a thing (from that one dragon zombie fight in that one 24-player raid)? Have extremely fond memories of tanking that fight, competing with the other tanks for control on where the boss should be positioned

redreader posted:I saw the comments about Danganronpa (sp?) earlier and I agree: I did actually play the game and stopped playing after the second or third execution in which someone got turned into "delicious butter" by going around and around very fast, and then was eaten on toast. I didn't like it, it was gross and the plot didn't seem like it was worth playing to see. I'm not trying to do a gotcha or anything like that but is this significantly different from Wile E Coyote getting blown up and then sweeping up his own ashes or Itchy freezing then shattering Scratchy and using his eyeballs as ice cubes because it sounds about as goofy. Is it just the presentation that makes it gross instead of funny?

Danganronpa definitely goes to places you won't even vaguely guess if you stop early, and the sequels even more so. V3 is simultaneously one of the games I'd least and most recommend and is an incredible love/hate object.

I feel like I missed a lot of context today. I've also thoroughly enjoyed the critique discussion. I've never really understood the art of criticism but I'm fascinated by it in ways even I don't understand.

DRv3's ending is incredible in a way that loses all potency if it's spoiled so it's impossible to coherently recommend

I still might give Danganronpa a shot since I have it, and maybe with context it will be less bad? It's also making me worried about World's End Club since I'd like to get that soon.

I mean it's goofy and all, but it seems that pretty much everyone just dies, and they're unable to escape death. I didn't like it. Here it is for your judgment. Absolutely no context is needed, apart from 'you meet and talk to these people and they have their problems but are humanized' and then they get murdered one by one. IDK, maybe it's Really Good but I didn't like it. I like horror movies but I don't see why anyone would watch Saw, for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnGZMjrpNNs

Also Redreader's description makes it sound like you see someone being eaten, but it's actually just a crayon drawing by the stuffed bear antagonist showing he'd like some pancakes to go with the butter (it's actually a reference to a scottish children's book in which tigers are similarly reduced to butter for pancakes, which is of course sort of fitting in the game's context), and whether he did eat the butter or not is left to the viewer's appreciation, keeping in mind it's well established the stuffed bear doesn't need to eat but does like to get a rise out of people when he's not killing them. EDIT: yeah, visually it's pretty cartoony violence (including the recurring gimmick of bright purple blood as a form of censorship), although it's worth noting textually it's quite a bit more graphic than that.
