I put in the first seed and the shop has no ? Item. Could the items differ on shop level maybe?

A run's seed determines what items and enemies appear of course, but if you haven't unlocked an item that is supposed to appear, something else will appear instead. What's likely is that you and the other poster have your shop unlocks in a different state which caused him to find ? and you to find something totally different with the same seed.

This also means that seed sharing experiences will possibly differ between any players who aren't on 100% save files. I think this is kind of stupid.

I've really enjoyed Setsuna. Of classic square rpg's though I'd say it's most similar to FF4. Very linear, characters have set skills and purposes.

It bugs me whenever people refer to Shovel Knight as an 8-bit throwback. The only thing 8-bit about it is the voices used in the soundtrack and number of channels matches the Konami sound chip on some Famicom games. Everything else about it, from number of colors per sprite​, number of sprites on screen, parallax scrolling, number of buttons used, and so on is far more akin to SNES games and in actuality beyond it.

Actually, the NES can do parallax scrolling, it just can't do layers.

I enjoyed it. The story is predictable and ends as it gets going, the art style is incredibly repetitive, but its Chrono Trigger combat with timing based button press boosts a la Super Mario RPG. Was an enjoyable quick play that staved off a replay of either game.

Modus Pwnens posted:

Yeah, it doesn't have the charm or depth of Chrono Trigger in any way. The combat and "feel" are there, but it was very clearly a team tracing a much better game.

It's because it is getting a physical release. I'll bet it'd have been $30 if they went digital only (which is probably still $10 too much). Until 8GB NAND drops to pennies, I can't see anyone being able to get away with a $30 (or less) physical release anytime soon, even for smaller games like USF2:TFC.

I spent a ton of money on SF2 arcade machines, and then on the SPECIAL CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION on the Mega Drive. I've never really had any desire to play it since (but I'm not really into fighters anymore).

now that 3DS is on the way out and Vita is dead, Switch is gonna make gangbusters with whatever the next Monster Hunter is. It will be nice to play a Monster Hunter game that doesn't look like poo poo and also isn't gimped by handheld controls

also if capcom wants to charge $40 for a Switch Street Fighter, start with portable Third Strike with online matchmaking. I'm hoping SNK jumps on the train and maybe puts KOF14 on switch in the future.

The Digital Foundry comparison made it look pretty good. It's almost the same as on PS4 except the PS4 version oddly runs in 60FPS for small indoor sections only.

It's "fine" just a really clunky game overall, maybe I should not have said port and said game instead. I dunno, the aggravation outweighed the fun for me.

The Switch version of Lego City is actually higher resolution than the Xbox One if you can believe it. Both are 1080 vertical rows but the Switch uses square pixels and the XB1 uses anamorphic stretched pixels.
