bravely second is pretty good so far. don't know that adding choices between class unlocks proves the game at all, but its a way to mix things up.

Basically you only pick between old classes and it's there to encourage you to try out the new tricks rather than just defaulting to what you used in the first game.

My favorite thing about Golden Sun is that around two thirds of the way through the game the characters actually have a 15 minute discussion where they ask each other what have been doing the whole time and if anyone knows what they're supposed to be doing. That just sums up the whole game.Tae posted:Phantom Brave was listed in the steam DB, presumably that's next but NISA might be trying to shore up their pc porting team right now. Also this is extremely good, presumably it will have all the improvements across the versions and maybe some enterprising fan comes up with a way to unlock all classes and items at will.

Honestly I don't know how stuff like that keeps happening. The last totally delusional example I remember was that Sly Cooper revival game a couple years ago ending on a sequel hook, because they somehow thought a loving new Sly Cooper game was guaranteed to get another sequel.

Dark Dawn: You spend 90 percent of your quest looking for a Roc Feather, you get the Roc Feather and there's no payoff. Some loathsome oval office causes the apocalypse and you don't even get to kill him, because he feels bad about it. You stop the apocalypse and go home and find it under threat by the BIg Bad Thing that was mentioned in the first 10 minutes and promptly forgotten about. Roll credits. There are 8 playable characters even though you never need more than 4. The last one shows up in the final hour of gameplay. This game should be studied in courses, where the lesson is "Don't do this". Inspector Gesicht fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Apr 21, 2016 |

maybe just as good was an exaggerates, but most complaints seem to be about the writing which was never good. and I guess losing access to a chunk of the world map is technically a flaw, but I honestly don't care because what reason is there to want to backtrack?

Also its plot is basically a giant sidequest that happens after they get roadblocked from the main plot, and then they suddenly remember that the main plot is still unresolved at the end of the game.

The worst bit of Golden Sun was for some reason they thought having text that would keep moving was a great idea for a portable game. I could never get past the intro without feeling sick if I was playing on the bus. otoh it meant I played Mario World instead so maybe it was a good thing considering how GS turned out v v

that was probably the highlight of the game. it's a shame that all fights were designed so that a 2 year old could beat them. it seems like things could have been great. sacrificing stat-boosting djinn for temporary dps/debuffs/summon capabilities could have been cool. like two-handing your weapon in dark souls. but the difficulty just isn't there. there exists a hardtype patch for golden sun and the lost age. i kinda want to play them to see if the combat is cool but also don't want to have to mash through golden sun text.

I got to the Final Boss of Dark Dawn, lost because it was the only thing in the game that wasn't braindead easy and I wasn't paying attention, and then decided I didn't care enough to beat him. I never got to the cliffhanger so I suppose I had completely forgotten the main plot existed.

I'd say there's more games being localized now than before. Unless he means there's just less games in general to bring over in the first place. Judging by the gameplay complaints here he seems pretty clueless as to why his game sucked though, and that's not something American technology is gonna fix.

I saw that The Banner Saga 2 was out with kinda surprisingly little fanfare or marketing. Does anyone know if they changed the combat mechanics to be more fun? I don't know how to better express that, but I definitely was not playing TBS1 for its tactical combat, probably because that shared strength and health system did not actually make for a great tactical combat mechanic. And I guess the shallow character development (mechanically, not narratively) didn't help much either.
