I discovered today that Dungeon Travelers 2 isn't a good game to play in public while working out at a gym. I am still doing the thing where I play my PSP while using an exercise bike and it's still working out really well, but I'm really addicted to DT2 so I thought it would be okay to play it as long as I didn't fight any bosses (since the boss defeat scenes tend to be the really erotic ones). First encounter is with some spider lady that is basically naked hanging upside down in bondage webs and a mostly-naked dryad girl. 9/10ths of my screen was flesh-colored and I think a casual glance would have made pretty much anyone think I was looking at cartoon porn while biking. I switched over to FF7 real quick-like but I still really wanted to play a dungeon crawler since the grinding makes the exercise periods go faster. I really need to get my hands on Lost Heroes or one of the other good PSP dungeon crawlers.

I think nobody cared to notice and you're just being paranoid. Besides Gyms are known places where gay guys look to pick up other gay guys.

They don't shower they don't bathe and yeah they do game with their feet because their're too busy growing bacterial cultures on their smart phones with their filthy loving hands.

The Taint Reaper posted:I just wish it wasn't a 90 dollar videogame for the whole campaign. The little  fairy whispered to me that all 3 cart versions of the game are essentially the same size in blocks, including the special edition that contains all 3 versions on one cart, which is slightly bigger due to the 3rd scenario. This means that the carts for both Birthright and Conquest actually contain both parts of the game, with no way to load the other. I don't know if purchasing whichever cart you don't own as "DLC" downloads the full version of the game, or simply flags it as playable on your cart, but this is pretty much the definition of DLC that is available in the data but locked behind a pay wall.I assume the DLC corresponds to the latter, to give it the illusion of needing to actually be downloaded, when in reality you have it the entire time.

BabyRyoga posted:The little The little files fairy is kind of dumb. The reason why the download is fairly small is that they share a ton of assets. This is not particularly surprising as the other side, including its characters, appears as enemies on the path split of your choice. Also this isn't a ~magical files~ thing considering they literally show you the download size if you purchase the second route. It's about 780 blocks which is IIRC a little less than 100 MB and probably primarily taken up by the script and the route-exclusive cutscenes since the two games otherwise share most assets in some fashion or another.

The real, actual little fairy whispered to me that just forcibly enabling Revelations in a Birthright or Conquest game will actually cause the game to freeze up immediately after you finish the chapter in which you make the choice, so that theory is bullshit  It's just that the majority of the file size of a game is, surprise, visual and audio assets.

BabyRyoga posted:Revelations actually needs to be downloaded. I'm saying that Birthright/Conquest are the same cartridge. Do you have any actual proof of this or are you just assuming based off similar file size? Because, again, that isn't actually meaningful. Both games share the same assets. The cast of Birthright appear as enemies in Conquest and vice-versa and all the models, animations, and so-on are shared between both games. (Not to mention the castles which allow you to see and fight other people's party members.) I mean yeah, the game was probably designed to have as much overlap as possible specifically so they can sell the second part with minimal download size. This'd probably be a bigger issue if each individual part wasn't a fully-featured Fire Emblem game on its own merits. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Feb 27, 2016 |

ImpAtom posted:Do you have any actual proof of this or are you just assuming based off similar file size? Yeah, the things that are actually different in Conquest, like writing and map design, are not thing that take a lot of space. Also, why wouldn't they have both games on the same cartridge? If anything that would just make it easier for people since they don't need to download extra stuff to get the other campaign.

This is not what it looks like, I swear. RPG moms are awkward and terrifying. And tough.   And that's a hardcore skill to put on a squishy mage character.

You can play them on Vita too. Or just play the PC versions and enable a speedhack via Cheat Engine if the battles aren't doing it for you.

Great, I just broke the economy of Gate of Firmament. It's available immediately after you unlock crafting, have some starter cash and a shop nearby. Get the recipe for revival pill. It needs 1 of basic HP and MP healing items. Buy the ingredients (cost 100 each), craft the pill, sell the pill (sell price 500). 300 profit isn't much, but the GUI allows batch purchases, batch crafting and batch sales, so you can just make 50 of those things in one go.  Aslo, there's a wild Mr. TG in the nearby mountains. Dangdang  He doesn't snatch you right there - he puts you on the list and waits for the night. Ah, bugger. You do want to do the money exploit because the combat AI will use the party items when they run out of health or mana. SelenicMartian fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Feb 27, 2016 |

So in the last hour or so of Shadow Hearts: From the New World I have done and/or seen the following;
I love this goddamn game. Are the first two Shadown Hearts this insane?

ImpAtom posted:Do you have any actual proof of this or are you just assuming based off similar file size? The download for the other campaign is ~100 MBs which makes me suspect the FMVs and majority of the audio for both campaigns is already on the cartridge but not the whole thing. Revelations is allegedly around the same size as well (at least it was in Japan) but as it does recycle most of its maps (with changed gimmicks/objectives) from the other 2 campaigns that's not surprising.

Half the maps in Revelations are in a completely new dimension so no. Please don't refer to that terrible reddit chart if you are.

DACK FAYDEN posted:This Chinese game is adorable. How's the gameplay? Combat is real time but not action based. Allies are AI controlled but you can switch who you're controlling at any time. It's kind of MMO-y but there are no auto attacks (or manual movement) and there's this system where you have two regular attack buttons one of which puts you onto the next combo stage and the other of which does a combo ender that has effects based on what combo stage you were on which, combined with everything actually triggering hit react animations, makes things feel a bit more like stuff is actually happening than that sort of system can sometimes. There's also a system where you can change the element of the battlefield to the element of any of your party members and each element gives different party wide buffs and I think a there's one or two more combat mechanics that I haven't gotten far enough to fiddle with yet.
