ImpAtom posted:The new Final Fantasy mobile game has sprite versions of the non-sprite Final Fantasy characters. That's :3 Jehde posted:Probably been mentioned before, but in GTA V the characters tend to go through dialogue when you're driving to a mission or whatever. If you crash, it will cut off the dialogue, but once you've got your bearings it picks right up from the same sentence that was cut off. No missed dialogue, no unnecessary redundancy. I was incredibly grateful at how good the game was at that, especially after so much experience with games doing "hey let's have this NPC speak really softly it's not like anything else will be going on".

GTA V also has something that a lot of other games should; a dialogue boost option. If you want to play without subtitles, you can at least make all the talking during missions louder than whatever firefights might be going on.

Ryoshi posted:Do any of the Tales games have a likeable cast? I'm burning through Hearts R when my 3DS battery dies after several hours of delays at the airport (NOT THAT I'M BITTER OR ANYTHING) and good god it's like they tried to make the worst characters possible. The other ones I've played are Symphonia and Xillia and they're both pretty similar although not to the level of Hearts R. I think Tales of Vesperia has a likeable cast, if only for Yuri (the main protagonist) and his companion Repede, who is a dog that fights using daggers and always carries a pipe in his mouth

Accordion Man posted:Yeah, you'd be hardpressed to find a cast that can top Star Ocean 4's cast in terribleness. They even commit genocide to add the finishing touch to the poo poo sundae of creepy anime poo poo. The one little thing that was good about SO4 was that the protagonist actually gives a poo poo and spends time being really broken up over it and wondering if there wasn't another solution he failed to see. Of course everyone else is just like "So we killed a billion people, so what?"

The protagonist in the Tales games tends to be idealistic, with the rival characters tending towards a more pragmatic sort. In Tales of Vesperia, the protagonist takes that role instead. For instance, when a corrupt justice system lets a real nasty piece of work go free because of his money and connections, Yuri just straight up murders him. The best character is still Repede, of course. Repede's loving awesome.

Yeah the MMO story was beyond stupid but the combo battle system was tons of fun and it had a couple cool characters. Star Ocean 4 was unforgivable garbage with zero redeeming qualities though.

I thought the battle system of SO4 was fine and fun, especially when playing as the main bow girl; pity about the garbage characters and plot. SO3 is irredeemable, boring trash through and through.

Something I like about GTA 5 is just how much work they put into Michael responding to the player loving with his family as Franklin or Trevor. Pretty much anything you can do to the rest of Michael's family will get a response from him either via a text or a phone call (or he'll just yell at you if you're hanging out). There is the one everyone knows about where you shoot at his home (STOP FIRING ROCKETS AT MY HOUSE!), but he also calls and tells you you're a dick if you steal his daughter's unique car, texts you to stop creeping around if you hang out in his house when he's not there, and so on. It's great and a bit weird because there's really nothing like that for the other two!

In the same vein, I liked how loving with the other 2 outside of missions elicited unique dialogue and if you force say Trevor and Franklin to interact before they officially meet in the story the non player character will get justifiably creeped out by the stalker and after a couple warnings will punch you the gently caress out.

Most of the time when you kill a boss in Bloodborne, they explode and blood rains down everywhere. That's neat by itself. It gets better. Many of the bosses give PSN trophies when you beat them. Dunno if it's all PS4 games or just this one, but when you get a trophy, it automatically takes a screenshot. So you end up with a lot of pictures of bad guys exploding, and it can be very satisfying to see the ones that gave you the most grief. But my best auto screenshot is one you get for finding a type of item for the first time. I grabbed my first one running away from a big fast enemy and so the screenshot is my guy just booking it away. It's all motion blurry and stuff too. Also there's a couple where it's a loading screen (think you can get more like that with a mutual kill) and one for fully upgrading a weapon that is quite likely to be a great big stat screen. Oh, actually, mutual kills themselves. I think if you and the boss died together in other games in the series, you had to beat them again. It counts as a victory in this one, which is great. I did it my first time against the last boss, and I had to hoof it back to see the ending. It was silly.

Earlier we were "coaching" him (I got him to run off a ledge, other roommate led him into a trap room full of enemies) but he made us get out, I'm afraid he'll attack me if I gently caress with him now dude threw my controller after I beat his rear end at MKX though, so he's basically dead to me at this point e: favorite thing about MKX is Shinnok's baby t-rex arms in his necromancer variation

Bloodborne is pretty sweet, it's nice that it gives you a bit more direction than Dark Souls, and the weapons are creative, but the best part is the blood on your character. Your weapons get covered, and so do you, but if for instance you're using a weapon with a sheath on your back, and change, the spot where the sheath was is clean. Same thing with clothes.

Playing GTA V through for the first time and aside from being amazing overall I absolutely loved it when Michael accused Trevor of being a hipster. They did a great job with that conversation and the way it leads up to that point that I couldn't help but laugh like an idiot when it finally came out.

It doesn't matter how I dress Trevor, given enough time he strips down to nothing but a pair of tighty whities. That might be my favorite little thing about GTAV.

Just played a bit of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and I gotta say, I'm really enjoying the coop in this game. It feels a lot more like actual coop, and not just doubling of assets, since the coop partner has a fairly different set of skills than the first player. In the first mission, for example, one plays Claire Redfield and the other plays her friend. Claire can use guns, stab guys, and knock down stunned enemies. Her friend, however, doesn't get access to guns - instead, she gets a flashlight and crowbar. But with the flashlight, she can find hidden items and stun enemies (so that Claire can knock them down), and with her crowbar she's limited to melee attacks, but they do a substantial amount of damage. In addition, when an enemy is knocked down by Claire, the coop partner can use a punishing attack on it that does a huge amount of damage. Plus she can open locked crates. It really is a great fusion of complimentary abilities that I wish was present in more coop games, it feels a lot more fun to play when it's not just two people with guns instead of one.

My Lovely Horse posted:At the very least, the radio stations in GTA III and Vice City were single long audio files. Matter of fact, straight up MP3s in the PC versions - for VC you could simply change the file extension and you were good to go. In San Andreas they switched to a modular system that enabled them to change things up a bit. There were a few audio extractors that could read the new format and extract the files. One of them had quite the explanation on how the whole thing worked at his website.
