Toaster Beef posted:Have you found any simple keys yet? Or rancid eggs? If you've got one of each you can get your shade back without having to go retrieve it. Far right side of Dirtmouth.  No! I've seen them for sale but didn't buy one. Bless you, sir. I'll give that a shot. And when I get my Shade back I'll go to the Capital like a good little bug... knight... thing.EDIT: Oh lovely the key costs almost as much as the Geo I would stand to lose by giving up on getting my corpse back... That is less attractive. Handsome Wife posted:I'd just go to the shop that takes eggs in exchange for retrieving it for you. I wouldn't want to mess with that area without the lantern. It was more like I wasn't expecting it at all. The place is dark, the enemies are super DUPER aggressive and hard to see, and the whole atmosphere is really creepy. I bet if you go down there prepared it's not so bad, but I am NOT. DOUBLE EDIT: Aaaaand I went a different direction to pick up some Geo, ran into another boss, which killed me.  RIP my money again! I'm never getting the lantern, am I?

Got to play Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 on the Switch. The Rewind feature is amazing, and I feel like I can just casually enjoy all these games instead of being frustrated with them.

So in Octopath traveler you don't actually unite into one overarching plot, it's just checking off each person's personal quest? That sounded weirdly small scale until I remembered that's basically most of Mass Effect 2 and I quite enjoyed that.

Otherwise the plot lines are separate.

I wish we knew if Nintendo was porting or making a sequel to Super Mario Maker. I miss it since I put up my Wii U in my closet and would love to have it on my Switch.

punk rebel ecks posted:The $40 price tag was as it was practically a SNES port. Chrono Trigger (DS) selling a million copies did well. Definitely get your point that it's odd that Square wasn't pleased with it. They may have anticipated greater sales since I think it did have a large print run, as they were selling it for $20 for years after. Still, I'm not sure $40 was the issue. The SNES game originally sold for double that. Also it came with a poster and print manual, which I really miss these days.

The dude who buys relics is somewhere in the Capital, IIRC. He should help out. Really though, the game is made so you can approach it in myriad ways. If you're banging your head against something, it's often super helpful to just gently caress off to some other part of the map you haven't explored. The game is so, so much larger than you think. Deepnest never stops being a real pain to be in, but if it makes you feel any better: it's meant to be the most foreboding area of the game. Also: hop into the Hollow Knight thread! Lots of folks in there are more than happy to help with whatever part of the game you're in. It's not at all the git gud circlejerk one might fear. Also also: what happened to you (losing a bunch of geo when I needed it most) happened to me and basically everybody else at one point. Or at multiple points. It sucks, but the game doesn't just send you up a creek. You'll make it up. Toaster Beef fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Jul 15, 2018 |

Astro7x posted:Got to play Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 on the Switch. The Rewind feature is amazing, and I feel like I can just casually enjoy all these games instead of being frustrated with them. Yeah, it's great. Just be aware that the second collection does not give you the rewind, nor does it give you a proper state save. You can just save the last checkpoint. I get that it'd be harder to implement with those games, since it's not just NES emulation, but it sucks bigtime.

I don’t like using those features personally but it’s nice they’re built in and that you don’t have to buy Game Genie and poo poo like it when you’re bad at games. More games should have that.

Stuff like save states and rewind-functions would have blown my mind as a kid. I would have loved that poo poo. Nowadays however, I simply don't have the time to play old games without that crap. Of course I still love it, but I also love having an excuse to rewind Darkwing Duck like a motherfucker! If the Mega Man X collection I saw announced comes to the switch with save states and rewind, I'll probably finish the 2nd and 3rd game for the first time!

That's a 3ds game! How was MH3 priced for the Wiiu? I don't recall what it was at launch Personally I wish it was priced at 40 but eh, I'll eat the Switch Tax. I just want some portable MH on switch...

OK, i see the point of my confusion, Monster Hunter on the Switch is a port of a 3DS game, just that 3DS game. So my point is correct, it's a port of a 3DS game, 60 dollars is taking my piss.

IIRC the Switch Monster Hunter is in the more traditional vein of the series to appeal to diehard fans while the PS4/Xbox One game is a "modernized" one to appeal to the Western market?

A port is a different product that requires its own dev time. It's not a super involved port admittedly but still will play and look so much better than the 3ds version Whether that warrants a $60 pricetag or not is definitely subjective but I mean..it's Capcom. I expected nothing less, especially when the 3ds version retailed at $40. A $20 luxury tax for the "big boy" version is industry standard, I feel. I didn't feel too sour about paying $60 for Ys even though I know it was cheaper on vita etc E: also what everyone else said, I didn't follow the development of this entry too closely

I've seen people on Reddit defending both titles for different reasons. Personally I'm willing to bet you can't go wrong with either, provided you like the franchise to begin with. I haven't played world so I won't be missing any new features and am extremely amped for it's release I've been waiting for so long

World is the better game in terms of how they've updated a lot of systems for the first time in like a decade, tons of QoL changes, and is basically the start of new "era" of monster hunter. XX/GenUltimate is basically the last of the previous era on the old engine, and because of it has a ton of content, since before world changed things it was easy to just reuse monsters from older games again in newer ones, so XX has nearly every monster that existed up to that point, whereas they have to essentially start over on World. Quality > Quantity though, so if you were going to get one of the two, get World.

Kilometers Davis posted:The idea of going back to any previous MH after World sounds unbearable to me. People said that in other threads/sites as well, but many who did try going back said they were pleasently surprised by how non awful the transition was. The core gameplay is still Monster Hunter after all, and not ps2 era lovely hitboxes Monster Hunter either. Can't knock you for not wanting to roll back but thinking of my own tolerances, I've never been one to struggle with playing older/outdated poo poo that is still good. Fpr example I can't stand most NES games due to how primitive games felt pretty snes but the "good" ones are still fun to revisit. My issue now is that World comes out on PC a few god drat weeks before generations ultimate soooo that's gonna take some restraint. I want to play the switch one first
