They made it so The Imprisoned no longer automatically gets up when his gauge hits half, and that's it. The large bosses in Gundam are infinitely better than the ones in HW, and before FEW, I genuinely felt that HW was the best Musou game to that date. So many things hold it back, though, and the giant bosses are definitely #1 on that.

This was my #1 complaint about the bosses in HW so if that's fixed then I basically have no complaints anymore (other than actually having to fight Imprisoned but I will power through now that he doesn't get up STAY DOWN YOU FUCKER)

and some of the character weapons, such any of Link's weapons that aren't the Sword or the Spinner or Zelda's Wind Waker are just so painfully awful to use. And sometimes, you are actively forces to use them.

Are you seriously implying that using the gauntlets isn't extremely good and cool?

I liked the DQ:Builders demo enough, but from what I've gathered based on earlier posts, the world is as small as you see in the demo, except you go to other small worlds, right?

I was kinda hoping for a single home town whose borders I could continually expand, and maybe other expandable towns within the same world. But building towns up from scratch chapter-by-chapter doesn't seem appealing to me, and having to go into what is essentially creative mode to do what I want doesn't quite cut it. Is DQ:B2 confirmed for Switch?

If you're put off by the idea of starting new towns each chapter of DQ Builders, I get that. I was disappointed at first too. But it's a really good game and each chapter is a different scenario, so it's not quite the same as starting from scratch each time. Each has its own story and a variation on the building tree / blueprints / available materials. Each is thematically different. Then the creative mode is where you can bring it all together. (Although to be honest I never got into the creative mode because the story driven building is the hook for me.)

Sorta. It ends as soon as you enter the first warp. I assumed it would have taken me to another biome with another small village. Which is what I don't want.

Yeah I enjoyed the base gameplay but having creative freedom separate from the main story is kind of a deal killer; in a game like this I'd like to have both concurrently. I think I'll wait and see if DQ:B 2 does the same thing or if it tries to integrate creativity better into the main quest.

This doesn't really address your main issue with it, but that wasn't the end of the town. Each chapter has a single town with warps to a few other biomes for finding resources / stuff to fight, so you were about a quarter to a third through that town.

It’s legitimately the best 2D platformer on any modern console, and in the running for one of the best of all time.

Did tropical freeze have waggle control? I remember hating that in one of the DK games. Like, there are so many buttons, why can't you map roll to one of them.

Yes, but we live in a world where the Switch just outsold the lifetime unit sales of the WiiU in less than a year

No waggle that I remember as that wasn't really a primary feature of the Wii U. You can play it with the Gamepad just fine.

Frankston posted:

My only issue with Tropical Freeze is how loving long the boss fights are. Sure, they give you hearts throughout the fight, but if you die on the third or fourth stage of the boss, you have to go all the way back to the beginning. Often when I got to a boss, I'd just put the game down for a few days because I didn't want to deal with it.

Has it outsold the WiiU's worldwide figures yet? I know the passed Japan's figures, but wasn't sure about the rest.

The only bullet-hell heavy part i've come across so far is the third fight against time grandpa, other than that I barely notice. Also I was afraid the tracking of my bullets would be terrible with the right stick but it's actually a lot smoother than I expected, I think there might be some slight auto-aim involved.
