He got shoved into a closet at Nintendo HQ so no worries at this point. smell this posted:guess what comes out next month What does?

Gonna play THE gently caress outta AM2R. I'm actually surprised it finished at all. This must be like the first fan remake of anything to make it to completion.

Other M was bad but this comic is funnier in hindsight Other M's announcement was pretty much the only positive thing people had to say about that conference iirc In Training posted:I double checked and it's bein released 4PM EST on Friday, and it's my birthday weekend.

The Star Fox comic in Nintendo Power was seriously rad because it was basically Moebius as filtered through kid-friendly Japanese talking animals made even weirder by the source material's graphics.

I wish they had included someone from the fire kingdom as a playable character. I think they're the only major group that doesn't have a playable representative and that always stood out to me.

Howard and Nester ftw Unrelated, I had a really bad bunch of matches playing Overwatch today with the last match just resulting in a utter trouncing. I'm sad I'm passed the phase where I'm just playing it and having equal fun whether I win or lose tithe part where I want to win and get aggravated when either me or my teams sucking

Real hurthling! posted:they're called vanillaware after all Unless that was just a joke on the name I don't think I've been exposed to vanillaware games before, so I didn't know what I was getting into Kinda makes me wonder though. Games like FFXIV and Monster Hunter are repetitive and grindy as all get out too and I get sucked into those like crazy (especially Monster Hunter holy poo poo I must have 80+ hours on Generations by now and it's been out like two and a half weeks), whereas Leifthrasir is repetitive and I'm just getting more  on it as time goes on. Wonder what the difference is; maybe the reward cycle just isn't psychologically as good in the latter and I'm just a sucker for Skinner boxesDoesn't bode especially well for me starting Trails of Cold Steel tonight instead, I guess!!!

Vanillaware's whole steez has been amazing 2d animation with grindy as gently caress gameplay, at least until Dragon's Crown when they didn't even have the animation going for them since they traded it in for a bunch of squashes and stretches of still images in the name of preserving the detail of their headache-inducing art style.

So I guess it'd be fair to say (completely sight unseen except for screenshots, here) that Dragon's Crown is more or less the same gameplay as Leifthrasir only with less story and more boobs? Save me a few bucks if so

DC tried to give the player more to do with its structure and loot focus but i actually like it the least of their games due to my eyes not being able to tell wtf is happening on screen when you have a full party. eh as long as the food porn looks delicious i'm sure i'll like it anyway.

Save me a few bucks if so DC has a story. there's a hub world where you get missions and then you go to dungeons to do them. if you love OS its worth it, but its basically OS with a party system, weapon/armor drops, etc added on top so you might as well wait for a sale. it comes around pretty regularly on psn.

Guess that's a pass then, i really adore the art and animation in OS but the gameplay just has me not wanting to bother after a few hours Not actually bad just grindy without enough carrot
