homeless snail posted:tfw you return to a rhythm game you haven't played in a long time and your skills have degraded to the point that expert is too hard for you but going down to hard is too boring i imagine beatmania is the exception because the controls are like a piano. i never had this problem with mixwaver, even picking up and playing songs i haven't done in over a decade. poo poo i played it better lol

Just a lot of Miku because if im gonna spend money on a cab I kinda wanna know how to already play, but I also played uhh i think it's muimui, which looks like a washing machine and has a circle touchscreen with notes spiraling out you have to tap/slide etc. And the arcade version of Theatrhythm which has 2 (!) buttons

I was feeling a little introspective this morning, and realized something: I am 100% the kind of RPG player who never, ever uses consumables. As it stands, whenever I quaff a non-refundable potion or apply a limited-use buff on a party member (even if it’s trivially cheap to get a new one), I feel a tingle of shame and guilt at the back of my mind. How do I work on this? Is there some creed I should repeat to myself 24/7?

Using consumable items is actually how you get into Heaven so uh enjoy burning in Hell for all eternity because you were being stingy with items I guess. As the fire is consuming you, forever, you will realize you have no one but yourself to blame for this.

I hardly ever use consumables in rpgs and stuff because it takes a turn that I could have used to do damage and kill the enemy faster. I only ever used potions and stuff in pokemon when my dude was 1 hit away from absolute certain death because if I heal the enemy's just gonna hit me and render the healing I just did mostly pointless, so I might as well only do it when I absolutely have to. edit: It's the same reason I never use status effect moves like poison or reducing accuracy or even defense unless the enemy is a rock-solid mamma-jamma. What's the point beating around the bush when I can just use my moves that do damage and end the fight, or do something like freeze instead so I can prevent them from counterattacking at all?

I only learned this recently but in Scholar of the First Sin killing the small pigs 12 times spawns a pair of boars in their stead, and killing the boars 12 times spawns a giant boar which drops three Cracked Red Eye Orbs. It sounds like one of those weird school playground video game rumors of yore, but it's an actual thing.

I like consumables that just auto refill after every major fight so that you can experience a limited power boost while not being afraid to use them for fear of some harder encounter in the future.

Cowcaster posted:what games do this besides witcher 3? dark souls has kind of got it going on but it has a lot of straight up one and done items too Cosmic Star Heroine comes to mind. Items refill after every battle and battles are pretty interesting anyway. Each character has a set of 7 moves with a Defend/Reset option to make a neat eight options. When you use a move it can't be used again until you defend. Each character has some standard damage dealers but there are a lot of buffs and debuffs, and it turns battles into a rhythm of setting up combos in sync with a sort of limit break system so you can deal maximum damage. I don't think I'm explaining it very well but I think it's a pretty good game. It's by Zeboyd and I like their take on RPGs.

Yeah, I don't remember consumables auto-refilling in Inquisition, but I also don't remember much from Inquisition other than going Knight-Enchanter and magic-swording everyone in the face while utterly invincible so I'm not a particularly reliable source here. I liked how Witcher 3 did potion refills, though it had the side effect of making alchemy go from "borderline oveprowered" in Witcher 2 to "hilariously game-breakingly overpowered" in Witcher 3.

https://twitter.com/DasBrieger/status/955581256053415936 This is a good twitter thread. Summary: Cool Mini Or Not, a company that makes mediocre board games and makes its money by targeting whales by making a good portion (up to half) of their crowdfunded board games kickstarter-exclusive, made a kickstarter in 2017 for a board game called Rising Sun. The game was about warring feudal Japan and making deals and fighting the other players and also dealing with Japanese mythological creatures or whatever. Turns out their research into Japanese mythological creatures was very very very basic, mostly amounting to checking the wikipedia page "List of legendary creatures from Japan." In 2016, a person from NZ added their friend to the list of Japanese legendary creatures, describing him as an angry, hairy monkey, and the edit stayed on the page. Cool Mini Or Not saw this, thought it was a real creature, and drew up a design for it and included it as a kickstarter exclusive figure lol

But yeah, health potions refill after you fast-travel, rest at a camp, or find a supply cache. Other potions... I have no idea how to use them. But if I could they'd be pretty good I guess Crafting in this game sucks. The weapons generated are OP, but require I stop several dozen times as I explore to watch a 2-second looting animation to collect the ingredients. Real annoying, I feel like I'm playing WoW again

Some of the other potions in Inquistion are really good. They're one of the only bits of the crafting system that is worth dealing with. If the combat and UI were better it'd justify loving around with crafting but as is it makes some basic mistakes (cross-character combos are essentially random, the UI won't tell you what your skills do mid-battle, etc) that make the fights so tedious that you might as well put the difficulty down and power through for the story and character interactions. At least it's pretty.
