still salty that we never got a localization for SB2 heroes because the vanilla game unironically has some of the best dub work i've ever heard

Dynasty Warriors 8. all the mechanics have been refined to a razor sharp edge, there's an insane amount of game to play, tons of variety between the characters, and i love what they did with the alternate history campaigns you can unlock by pulling off difficult objectives on certain maps

i find it amusing that a few game releases are like "oh poo poo, the DLC for Elden Ring is that week, everyone, we're delaying out release dates, we're not gonna try to even challenge that" Even saying that it be a suicidal release date.

I would go to bat for Age of Calamity having the overall best character design in a Warriors game by a significant degree, even if the level design isn't great.

ImpAtom posted:I would go to bat for Age of Calamity having the overall best character design in a Warriors game by a significant degree, even if the level design isn't great. I feel like "level design isn't great" is really understating the problem. When a Warriors game has good levels, it pressures you and forces you to juggle multiple objectives and to make the most of when multiple characters are available, because if you walk everywhere with one character then you're going to lose forts or CPU allies. Hyrule Warriors was good about this! But Age of Calamity basically just doesn't have that entire aspect of the game. The combat's good! But without a context to pressure you it all feels kind of hollow.

Meowywitch posted:what about pirate warriors 4? less maps and characters, better gameplay. Introduces aerial combat which wasn't really necessary for a warrior's game lol and also environmental damage which is pretty deece Adds more customization to movesets which is fun enough to gently caress around with for the 20 minutes before you realize there's not a lot of depth to it. Aerial combat's a nice thought but it's janky and the best characters are Speed characters. Cavendish and Carrot are tremendously broken so if you love them you'll love PW4 (haven't played DLC characters so couldn't tell you how Yamato gets in that game). Also the extra modes are way more boring than 3's, so less replayable if that's what you're looking for.

okiku is my big favorite one piece character and she's playable in pirate warriors 4, so thats the one you should play if you pick any of them

pirate warriors 4 is okay but a lot of characters from 3 wound up with much jankier movesets than they had in 3, like crocodile.

When I read "pirate warriors" my first thought was that it'd be some weird pseudo-historical thing with all the most famous pirates from the age of pirates, so hearing that it's just One Piece is somehow disappointing.

So Legend of Legacy is supposed to be bad, right? Noticed an HD version or whatever just launched and it got me a bit curious.

The Alliance Alive was made later, but already got a HD port years ago. Even the developer and publisher know the later game was far better. I don't know if it is considered bad tho. It just isn't good enough to make it to a "best RPGs that were on the 3DS" list unless you are making a top 50. Barely. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Crystal Ortha update. About 2 hours in. It's not bad! Not great either, but hitting that JRPG junk food craving I was having.
I thought there would be more to the gem fragment system, like needing to decide which ones to keep active or combining them, but nope. You just get the stats after finding them. Combat is done first-person / Dragonquest style. Not a ding against it, but I have more nostalgia for side-view fighting. Oh, and the "Crytal Ortha" is the thing you're searching for in the game. Ortha apparently means "sea" in an old language so it's a huge sea of crystals. Crystals are the hot new power source, replacing steam engines, but they're linked to ancient dragons and they corrupt animals exposed to them so they may be bad, too. It's engaging enough.

Alliance Alive is absolutely better for sure. It's got similar (if less baked) mechanics and a good soundtrack. On the flipside I found it to be very, very grindy and I think the 3 person party is very limiting. Personally I'd wait for a sale (or play Alliance Alive if one hasn't).

Mystia's Izakaya update: you can take all the time you want to challenge the final boss, which is a) a little odd considering the pacing of the rest of the game b) nevertheless greatly appreciated because the first time I challenged her I got rng screwed into a no-win loop on her second phase edit: is it an rpg? I'm not entirely sure but it's good and more people should play it

Noticed an HD version or whatever just launched and it got me a bit curious. It's like... a less good SaGa game, but the 3DS version was released a bit before they started porting all the SaGa games so it filled a certain niche. But now you could just play, like, any SaGa game and have a better time, including SaGa Emerald Beyond, releasing in one month. (Incidentally, The Alliance Alive, a pseudo-sequel, also got remaster several years ago, and by most accounts it's a much better game. It was written by the late Yoshitaka Murayama, who also has a game coming out next month, Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes)
