I'd agree that Toukiden's better in general, but the God Eater bullet editor is kind of neat.

Sakurazuka posted:God Eater is gonna seem sloppy, slow and weightless compared to actual MonHun, I don't hate it but it's like settling for the store own brand instead of the one you really like. I prefer Toukiden for not-Monster Hunter but mainly because it's like it's in constant turbo mode. Sloppy and weightless I'll accept, but slow? Really? God Eater moves so drat fast if you're playing it properly it's surreal. I'll admit it isn't quite MH, but it's my favorite of the store brand copycats. I find Toukidens weapon and armor systems to be extremely boring, and while Mitama are cool I don't think it quite balances out. On the other hand God Eater 2 doesn't half rear end and just goes full anime everything, which is enjoyable in its own right with goofy special moves and BLOOD RAGE and such. To be honest, which flavor of store brand knockoff one prefers is entirely due to taste. If nothing else, God Eater has volume value due to being two entire games.

The thing i hate about toukiden is the boss can’t be harmed until you spend half an hour to break off all their shell and armor. That makes it triple as long to finish one quest compares to God Eater.

Mulderman posted:Oof... That Secret of Mana remake monkeypawed me real good. The intro is so cool, why can't they make it look like THAT? I guess I don't hate this remake, but I don't know why you'd spend this effort and not do it right. Its weird what they chose to copy exactly, like the way the characters would stack on top of each other for dialogue and scripted movement e: the combat is actually a bit of a downgrade. In the SNES one, smacking a bad guy's poo poo had a real good feel to it. This game is just all floaty and weird.

Really Pants posted:I'd agree that Toukiden's better in general, but the God Eater bullet editor is kind of neat. Toukiden 2 is also an improvement over the first one in basically every way on the gameplay side, though I liked the characters and story in 1 more. God Eater is boring with terrible characters particularly in 2, and the bullet editor is inscrutable. Its fashion game is on point, though.

Danakir posted:So if I'm waiting for Monster Hunter World to fill the void in my heart on PC, how good of a job will God Eater 2 do of temporarily soothing the pain? So to speak. I assume you know already which is why you're asking, but just in case it's 76% (78% with the code LUNAR8) off over at fanatical for the next 8 hours or so. Pretty much a historical low, or at least close to it.

I started Divinity Original Sin thanks to it being on steam sale, and not knowing much about it besides that people like it and the sequel. I happened to pick a class that starts with the talk to animals perk and wow I'm so glad I did, because the second I talked to the first generic dungeon rat I was pretty much hooked. The game's best writing is on these completely optional animals, I swear. So yeah this game owns and after seven hours I haven't even left the starting city yet or had like any combat because there's so much to it and it all actually interests me.

I was considering pulling the trigger on the new SoM game because it would be my wife's first RPG and we could co-op it. The reviews have me a bit nervous. Should I just emulate it instead maybe? Basically I want a couch co-op RPG, ideally a little actiony like SoM but not stats-heavy. Any other suggestions? I have a PS4, a PC, and a switch.

I am enjoying the crap out of it but I'm in clearly in the minority. What I'm actually pissed about is that Gamestop lied about the physical copy being exclusive to them, because local game stores got copies as well.

Honestly with the music turned to the original I'm kind of still enjoying it, it seems way easier though but I dunno if that's just because I'm not 14 any more. Holy poo poo how did I not notice how much the magic system sucks rear end though.

I listened to some of the OST in the car today. It's.... Interesting. Like, from a musical standpoint I see how they were trying to use modern technology to create a SNES sounding sound track only updated, but it just kind of falls flat. Plus the way it's arranged messes with the general moods of the tracks. Right out of the gate we've got an orchestrated version of the opening theme. It's pretty, but it doesn't have the wind howling, it doesn't have that somber melancholy tone, almost of loneliness. Even the big flourish toward the end sounds muted and once it ends I'm not left with that dark turn back to melancholy loneliness. The original almost makes you want to zip up your coat a little tighter and look around for fellow humans. This just sounds... Kinda pretty I guess?

Anyone played Shadow Hearts? I am planning on starting that once I finish Persona 5. RPG and horror are some of my favorite genres. I know Shadow Hearts is suppose to be dark in terms of atmosphere/story, thats all I know.
