gmq posted:If I really enjoy a mario game I want to 100% it (because it means playing it for longer due to the way mario games work), I'm not sure what's the problem there. 100%ing games is dumb. Play until you're not having fun, then stop playing. Whether or not you can press A one hundred times in a row has no bearing on whether the rest of the game is fun.

I continue to not see the problem here.

The Chad Jihad posted:Darkest dungeons easiest difficulty is very good because while the combat remains almost the same as on normal it trims out a lot of the grinding, makes it easier to grind if you really want to, and doesn't really hurt the sense of accomplishment any. Honestly I never had any set favorite teams, training up at least one or two of each class and always mixing and matching was too much fun. Only class that really fell off for me at endgame was the Antiquarian because while she's a good support, especially for riposte teams, there are better ones and even with her help riposting gets really risky in the hardest dungeons.

Reality Loser posted:Yeah but is it good? Sure I guess? I mean, it is clearly a game where very keen attention has been paid to how mechanics are communicated to the player. It has a visual language that is consistent and unambiguous without being intrusive. It's not perfect, but usually when I found myself frustrated it was more often because I'd missed some incredibly obvious cue ("Get down here, Mother, you coward!") than because the game was communicating poorly. The art is, always, flawless. I won't speak to difficulty, because I am officially Bad at Games- I suspect that any serious action game fan will chew through these bosses pretty quickly- but I found it generally satisfying. But I'm having a hard just going "game good" because of how goddamn depressed the story is making me. Like, this is not pixel art Drakengard. But I still feel the need to cram the phrase "pixel art Drakengard" in here because I have rarely seen a game that is so relentlessly cynical about the nature of heroism and faith. e: Game needs a thread.

I played BotW for an extended period last night, it was the first I’ve played it since well before my son was born so at least 6 months. Game is sooooo loving good. Even after 120 hours, last night I was exploring areas I’d never explored before. Game is so good.

Antiquarian is def only there to stack up the gold and treasure so later on she's not viable for anything. I forgot how loving powerful Bounty Hunter is until I got one for my team at the start. Hits like a truck every time, sometimes for even more guaranteed damage than Leper or Crusader. Doesn't have the utility or the tank defense as the other frontliners but as a 2nd-rank guy who can single out and destroy an enemy, he's the best.

I like Patricia Summerset's Zelda a lot, I think it's a really good performance. And it is not at all British or attempting to be British.

Why would it be creepy? He's essentially just her bodyguard.

She is explicitly 17 years old since one of the final memories takes place on her 17th birthday. Link is like a year or two older than her according to some of the other memories.

Yeah the mode sounds well-implemented. I'm just playing on Darkest my first playthrough because I'm reaaaally enjoying myself and don't mind stretching everything out to take longer. Radiant sounds more like an "accelerated" mode than it does an "easy" mode tho which is a smart idea

Salt and Sanctuary isnt getting a port because it's real bad. Instead, we're getting a 3d Salt and Sanctuary, called Dark Souls.

I'm usually someone who is alright with English dubs in animation/video games if it's available cause they're pretty good these days. (Subs in live action 100% of the time.) I switched to the Japanese vocal track on my second BoTW playthrough and it's such a night and day difference in quality.

I wouldn't call her whiny at all. Poor girl was just stuck playing a role she knows she's just not cut out for. The damnable thing about being an intelligent scientist is when she's told to sit and do spiritual rituals she can do them flawlessly a dozen times until frustration, but she just couldn't give in to the absolute devout belief necessary to make her powers awaken.

Al Borland Corp. posted:I like Patricia Summerset's Zelda a lot, I think it's a really good performance. And it is not at all British or attempting to be British. What the heck are you talking about, Zelda clearly has a (fake) stereotypical Received Pronunciation accent. Summersett is not English, but that's clearly what she's trying to sound like. Neddy Seagoon posted:I wouldn't call her whiny at all. Maybe whiny is the wrong word. Maybe wimpy is more like it. She sounds like an insecure, monotone doormat constantly on the verge of tears (made worse by the poor audio mixing that frequently drowns out her voice), and it makes me hate every single word that comes out of her mouth. This sounds more harsh than I really want to be on the game... I don't think Summersett performed badly as such, but I do think she's miscast and possibly misdirected. Maybe it's just the image I always had in my mind of Zelda as being more, I dunno, headstrong than this?

I'd bet her experience over the course of 100 years holding back Gannon probably toughened her up quite a bit. That said, if she was the primary player character in a Zelda game (which Nintendo's still pretty insistent will never happen, so that's how hypothetical this is), she'd probably be mute like Link anyway, maybe with some pithy dialog choices every now and again.

The Twilight Princess version is a literal non-entity who spends the entirety of the game locked in a tower, then gets possessed by Ganon. Like I struggle to think of a single personality trait you could even assign her. Like at least pick Tetra, Skyward Sword Zelda or Ghost Zelda.

Summersett is not English, but that's clearly what she's trying to sound like. Did you watch any of the memories? Because your description of BotW Zelda... sounds like a completely different Zelda from what I saw. She's a giant nerd who just wants to tinker with all this neat ancient technology the kingdom keeps unearthing, and can't because her father keeps insisting she learn how to awaken her hereditary power. Which she only doesn't know how to use because her mother died when she was like, 6, and never got to teach her any of it. So instead she has to wander around to various sacred sites and try her loving HARDEST to do rituals that just don't work for her for some reason, getting increasingly frustrated. Meanwhile, her assigned body guard also has a traditional role to fill, and he, to her eyes at least, just does everything he's supposed to be able to do flawlessly without a single drop of effort on his part. And it infuriates her. She's quite sassy and funny in the memories, to boot. I love BotW Zelda.
