Jack Trades posted:15 hours in, Resonance of Fate is real loving good in almost every way. The problem with Resonance of Fate isn't that it gets worse, it's that it stays the same. I still like the game a whole lot, but the mechanics do get stale when you have to live with them for an entire game with only the slightest changes over time. On the other hand, RoF has some loving amazing dressup that made up for drat near everything else about it. So much fun coordinating outfits for my party.

Who the gently caress thought putting PERMANENT REFLECT on a boss fight with a party that is almost entire casters was a good idea? Especially when he can gently caress your health away with All-Aquara. Fucker ate a good dozen Grounda Bombs.

The best puns in Undertale are All of Them™, but the best of the best are the long-term sneaky ones ya don't notice till years after you first see the line because their presence is masked with a more blatant joke / serious moment. Though the punplay is a bit depressing in situations like Bratty n Catty's, where they're subjected to a rough life on the streets mostly just to motivate them being an alley cat and alley gator. Existence based on a pun has gotta be the worst kinda cosmic joke!

Is there any special reason demons turn me down in Nocturne? I thought at first it was level related, but I’ve had demons turn me down once and then join me just fine the very next battle. I know I can’t recruit on the full moon, but other than that what factors in? It’s frustrating pouring resources into these things only to have them say ‘Sorry I can’t join you but here’s a cheap healing item’ leaving me with no idea what went wrong. Though it was funny when my Jack Frost scouted a Hua Po and she got upset that I sent a kid to recruit her (despite, by her own admission, being a kid herself)

Its such a needless difficulty spike, especially if you assume like most people did that items that mimic spells work as spells because for every other property of magic they do. You actually got me to dust off my copy and wrap up my second playthrough so let me give you another piece of advice: Cubic Music Piece 9 gives an item that unlocks 11 treasure chests that otherwise dont appear in dungeons. There is no indication whatsoever where these are and since they were invisible youd have no idea. If you want their rewards, which you do since they contain end game equipment and spells, get a guide so you dont waste your life hunting for them.

Theres a bossfight against six dudes near the end of the game. If you lose, which you almost assuredly will the first time because its a brutal gimmick fight, unlike every other time in the game when you click retry it sends you to a checkpoint just before the boss. This is key because that dungeon is long as gently caress and there are no save points. Prism posted:I wish Lost Odyssey was on a system I owned. Like PC. It will be in 2019.

So the better it is, the higher your chances of getting them to join. If it fails, I believe the next time you try has higher chances if it's a success. Again, no idea how accurate it is. Could be confirmation bias.

I was patient enough for that stuff as a teenager but it's frustrating when you're running on Adult Time.

Incidentally the two chances to grab Shieldus and Barricadus are at the Experimental Staff,(the vendor on the boat has them), and Gohtza City Nope, there are no missables once you hit disc 4. There is a sophies choice of ultimate weapon between Kaim and Seth, but since Tolten exists and you can use his ultimate weapon as an immorta, Kaim is fine to pass on the ultimate weapon and use Toltens. Mortals cap out at around 17-18 skills which is somewhere in the low 50s levelwise. The optional bosses like the Kelolon king expect you somewhere in the mid 40s with the optional super dungeon expecting you at 70+ and the DLC i think being even higher.

Rascyc posted:You'll probably get used to it and adjust because the input lag is very consistent. If anything this is the type of game that'll probably be ideal for streaming since expected but infrequent timed hits are really straight forward with slight adjustment. I seem to recall the ring system is just a one and done per attack, right? I streamed emulated Shadow Hearts to a homebrewed Vita just to try it out. After a while I was pretty consistent since the timing was always the same.

I got invited to Google's Project Stream beta and have been slowly playing through Assassin's Creed Odyssey with it and in terms of streaming a game, my official review is thusly: It's fine. It's not great, it's not terrible, it's fine. Nothing about it works fantastically (except that I'm playing the game through a chrome browser, that's neat), everything about it really does exemplify the phrase "it's fine" It's a relatively consistent 30 FPS with video quality that drops any time you move the camera or your character but not into complete blurriness; input lag seems to be almost invisible though I owe that up to the framerate masking a lot of it, as well as the Assassin's Creed games generally being really forgiving with inputs Sound's good, never really noticed any dips in quality or hiccups with audio It's fine, but in its current state I wouldn't pay for it and don't recommend it unless you are super-desperate to play a super-fancy game on a $300 laptop in a hotel with wifi good enough for you to hog 25-30mbps of it

The kids killed Lost Odyssey for me. Also the gameplay. Every battle was taking multiple turns and I got so tired of watching the same long animations. I really liked the first disc. It was okay.

Oh I forgot to mention one thing that makes Project Stream no bueno; I can't take screenshots very easily, because it hijacks your entire keyboard, so print screen or any other third-party screenshot programs don't function, I have to set up screen recording ahead of time, and if I can't easily take pictures of Kassandra's guns then what's the loving point
