MockingQuantum posted:Yeah I'd agree with that, I've seen my wife play through WA3 a handful of times. Seems fun, but she's a completion of and holy crap is that a long endgame if you're into doing everything. WA3 has quite possibly the worst bonus dungeon ever. The Abyss is 100 randomly generated floors that will take you like 7-8 hours to traverse, IF you skip the random encounters. There are no save points, and if you leave and re-enter, you have to start from floor 1 all over again. You have to dedicate an entire day to finishing it. Better hope you don't wipe to the superbosses on the bottom floors!

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Bastard Bonds is very, very gay. It's also a good game, so if I can muscle through constant T&A in every goddamn mainstream RPG to get to the gameplay, you can do the same Fair enough argument. I actually have pretty low tolerance for T&A heavy games and haven't enjoyed many recent RPG offerings for that reason, but I kinda want to play Bastard Bonds in part because if people want muscly men in their games instead of anime waifus, I feel like the option should exist. Plus it sounds like it's a good game, so I'll give it a spin. corn in the bible posted:Voidspire Tactics is very, very good. Sold. I really dig the artwork too, even if it seems like it might be a little simple in places. I am a sucker for retro style pixel art.

Yoko Taro had some cool things to say at PAX East: Localization: quote:While at times there is censorship in regards to certain materials, Yoko-san continued, no changes were made to the game due to those factors. Of course, with regards to different cultures between Japan and North America and Europe, the developers feel that it’s best to have the localization team use the best expressions that would be fitting for each regions, and that kind of expressions may change, but then again, Yoko-san doesn’t understand English very well, so even if they did change everything, he wouldn’t notice. His mask: quote:He also explained why he wears his iconic mask: he personally doesn’t believe that creators should be in the eye in the public. To give an analogy, if he found out that that the erotic novel he’s enjoying is written by a middle-aged man, he’d be disappointed. That’s kind of the reason why he doesn’t want to show his face in public. 2B's high heels: quote:To a question asking why a combat android wears high heels, Yoko Taro answered that the game is set 10,000 years in the future, so when he tried to imagine what it would be like, he thought about how it was 10,000 years ago, and people back then probably would not have been able to imagine what it would be like nowadays. That’s why he decided to think freely and willfully about it. Since a lot of western games feature space marines and that kind of concept, he let his ideas flow freely and came up with a girl wearing heels in the future. Yet, the biggest reason is simply that he just really likes girls. Got this all from here it has a video of the Q&A at the bottom: http://www.dualshockers.com/2017/03/12/yoko-taro-nier-automata-protagonist-2b-wears-high-heels-just-really-like-girls/

C'mon man, it's like three hours tops, and that's with Ragu Ragla  And, in fact, it's straight-up designed for you to evade most of the encounters since unlocking the door on each floor requires you to pick up a bunch of white crystals, which recharge your encounter-dodging meter.

huh, well the only time I did that dungeon was in my first playthrough years ago when the game first came out, and it took me about that long. Guess I was just slow at RPGs back then. Really though, a few hours of navigating mazes with no save points is still incredibly bad dungeon design.

It's been a long time, but I remember in the PS2 version there was a literal timeline somewhere in the menus, so you can check out how those events compare? There's also three wizards (I think) so maybe you got two of them confused? Again, it's been a long time so I could be wildly off base

A little off-topic, but I made a 100 Greatest Video Games of All-Time list. I worked on it for a year and I posted it around and it's been getting some love. I wanted to share it with you guys. I know I will get grinded here due to some unorthodox picks, but I'd rather have made an honest list than a dishonest one to be in line with others. EDIT - "Where's game X?" If the game isn't on here and it's known for being extremely good then I either haven't played it or it has been so long since I've played it that I feel like I can't properly rank it due to me not knowing whether or not it held up well. All the games on the list were games I played/revisited over a ten year period. Though there are a few critically acclaimed games that I didn't enjoy much. One in particular that people often SHARPLY disagree with me over. cheetah7071 posted:It's been a long time, but I remember in the PS2 version there was a literal timeline somewhere in the menus, so you can check out how those events compare?

It is incredible and basically a different game. The PS2 version is on there too. One of the best games of all-time. It would have gone on my life above if I made it today. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Mar 14, 2017 |

cheetah7071 posted:Does it fix my main issue, which is that every combat is a slog of way too much HP and every dungeon is a metaslog of way too many combats? The combat system is fantastic and one of the best I've played in a 2D game. Dungeons are still pretty long, but the combat makes them much more enjoyable. The combat is no longer stamina based as you don't get tired if you run out of PP. And there are plenty of takes and ways to chain combos with a nice physics system. The game feels like a 2D Devil May Cry at times. I'd say that each dungeon map takes 30 minutes to complete. Boss battles can take a while though. However, this is under the hard difficulty which I played due to the game being too easy on normal. There is also no slowdown and zero grinding what so ever.

Some saw it as the Project X Zone for action RPGs as it had gorgeous artwork but had an absurdly long length without the gameplay to back it up. I always argued with people that Odin Sphere actually had pretty good gameplay, it was just a different type of action RPG as it focused on how you approach your enemy and the most efficient way to use your alchemy. But nevertheless Leifthrasir updates the game hugely with a ton of stuff to make the length feel much more warranted. It's like going from Street Fighter II: World Warrior straight to Super Street Fighter II: Turbo in terms of gameplay. It's unfortunate that Odin Sphere's bad reputation gave Vanillaware the title of "all style no substance" developer. In reality all of there titles have pretty good gameplay. Grimgrimoire is an interesting RTS game, Muramasa is a nice return to form of the sidescrolling action genre, Dragon's Crown is a great modern beat-em-up, etc. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Mar 14, 2017 |

My issue with the original Odin Sphere was mostly that it ran like poo poo. The amazing art was a lot harder to enjoy with the framerate constantly chugging and it made the combat a lot less fun for me as well. I've been meaning to try the rerelease at some point, maybe if it goes on sale.

I think if you retitle that list to The One Hundred Greatest Games of My Life and fix your navigation (ie don't use Tumblr) then you'd both avoid a lot of argumentative headaches and also get more people to read it.
