Senator Drinksalot posted:Injustice 2 and MK11 actually really smoothed out their gameplay. The only bad part is they also introduced terrible mobile f2p mechanics as well. NRS games eternally feel crazy clunky to me from an actual system mechanics perspective, but I know they're popular and obviously there's an audience so that's cool, definitely including MK11 in that. I'd just be disappointed cause it'd almost certainly be a hard pass for me unless they totally rework the way their movement and systems work. Maybe I'd pick it up on sale for the singleplayer eventually though

I want a FF fighting game where Sabin is the only character that you have to select his moves from a menu. Not that I'd want to play it, but it would give me a chuckle.

Yeah I was right there with you until my friend had me try Injustice 2. I like the way the combos work now, it used to be too stiff for my tastes but the moves link together much better with their two newest games and I kinda like the build your own combo style where instead of having to remember long strings of button presses you just have to remember a handful of smaller strings and then mix and match them, execution is more about timing/spacing than perfectly hitting a 35 button press air combo.

I can’t believe I didn’t hear more people complaining about Iron Giant. gently caress that guy. Tried for hours as a melee class, but he hits so hard that just two hits I failed to parry or dodge would get me eventually. I get that you want to stay right on him, but drat. Switched to sage and got him first try. Sage is a little overtuned.

Yeah, Magic seems pretty super busted in general which I think sort of cascades to Sage being mega busted since you just straight up get all the white and black magic you could want with no real downsides as far as I can tell

I just learned today that Ramza’s magical attack grows faster as a squire than any other generic job in the game (other than Mime), so the best job for Magical Ramza to level up as is Squire (or Mime), and not any mage, summoner, or mathemagician. The best casters in the game are Beowulf and his Dragon Girlfriend.

Itzena posted:Apparently there's a reason for that: Even with all of the optimization issues, I was able to play through the entire game just fine. Yeah the frame rate really sucks at points, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. Your mileage will vary though, it's different for everyone. Elden Ring is the same way with being very poorly optimized and everyone gave that a free pass. Doesn't change the fact that both games are two of the best titles released so far this year.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Hell yea! I was literally playing a different game from everyone else. It was like playing with a weighted football stuffed with a lit fuse of dynamite in a building full of fireworks and wondering why everyone says throwing a football is easy and fun Also figured out that you can cast spells from the radial menu by pressing attack, so pre-fight buffing with the whole suite of tier 3s and blasting chain nukes is so much easier. Putting chainspell on r1 - r2 makes rdm recover hp for each nuke so I've got access to direct healing instead of relying on potions/regen. This class is a ton of fun! Game too easy now

Yeah Ramza is best used as a tank type character, although if you build him up as an Orator and give him a Chocobo mount he'll have like no faith so magic attacks bounce off him and he can run around the map stealing troops.

Everything I see says they don't and also I feel like they don't. It's just command skills and weapon moves that available to whatever job/weapon, with restrictions like 'bash an enemy with your shield' requiring a shield being equipped.

This game is giving me a headache because everything is so dark and muddy and it's incredibly easy to get turned around and lost Seriously why have the first two dungeons been pitch black, I messed around with the brightness settings and the only way I can tell I'm about to start a fight is because my other dudes keep flapping their gums.

with my RTX 2070 Super and Ryzen 7 2700X it runs....fine I guess on medium. Noticeable slowdown but nothing that interferes with gameplay in any way and even the cutscenes are fine for the most part. can't shake the feeling that with normal optimization I should be blowing this game out of the water. it's not a great looking game, I see what people mean in that there's a sort of grubby film over everything that detracts from even bright scenes like the town the inventory management is the worst good lord. I hate that if you change a job out of your rotation it doesn't keep the equipment settings for it ran through the first major level though and had fun, looking forward to really sinking my teeth into it. the plot takes itself so seriously which just makes it funnier, as everyone has said. it's impossible not to smile when jack goes C R U S H Y O U and suplexes a skeleton so hard it explodes into crystals. I had never actually watched the "bullshit" scene before playing and it made me legit lol

I'm sure it's just a consequence of the subpar visuals but he has that dead eyed thousand yard stare in every cutscene that makes you think the whole time the king is prophesying jack's imagining the sound his spine would make after swinging him by the head onto the throne

Two SoP questions: 1. Do the passives you unlock in each class' tree apply to other classes that use the same weapon (do the Black Mage passives apply when Sage is my active class?) 2. What is affinity and how does it work?

fadam posted:Two SoP questions: 1. No, the only thing that carries over directly are Command and Link skills. 2. Affinity is determined by the armor you equip. It can go up to 400% and for each benchmark it hits you get a special passive. These passives are *not* class locked. You can get them on any class. Getting them on the primary class is just easier because you gain a fairly large percentage of free Affinity from the job tree. It also means you'll gain experience for that job even if it isn't your primary job. Very often you'll want to mix and match skills. For example Sage's 400% bonus (potions restore MP) is nice but you might be better off with Black Mage's (magic damage increases max MP) instead. Likewise Sage's 250% bonus allows you to block enemy magic attacks without damage which is only okay for Sage but can be really nice on Knight.

So pieces of gear will eventually have like “+x [Class] Affinity” and that’s how you unlock the higher tier affinity bonuses?

You'll see the class symbol next to the piece of equipment and VERY quickly you'll start seeing pretty much every piece having an affinity. Once you finish the game once you'll unlock Artifact gear which can have two affinities.

I assume passives are only job specific because when you switch jobs it shows you how much your stats shoot up or down But I'm not sure if equipment bonuses count? Like, I know if I'm playing a Sage but I'm wearing a bunch of White Mage clothing then WM will slowly level up too, but I don't know if all the bonuses for reaching WM affinity 80% or whatever apply if I'm not currently a WM? Logically they should but the equipment system is such a mess it's hard to tell.
