Disgaea 5 came to PC recently so I'm tromping through another grindfest happily. I don't really mind most grinding in games anyway, I can chill and watch movies while making progress doing random crap in a game, but the way grinding works in Disgaea games is so god drat satisfying. I haven't reached the post game yet but I'm already excited to get that exp engine rolling and play with all the systems.

 In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy there's a level with these stumpy wizard shepherd guys, who are attempting to feed their big beasties some apples. Most of the time the apples just bonk off the beast and it doesn't pay any attention, but sometimes he gets lucky and it lands in the thing's mouth!   And then the beast just spits it back at him. I very much enjoy the 'welp' expression on his face. I like all the extra details in the enemy idle animations in this game, they really went the extra ten miles to give it even more character.  edit: The snoozing beast on the right in the last shot is extra

I just beat my first playthrough of The Cave and actually quite enjoyed it despite some frustrating/repetitive parts, as I liked that the backstories were not just given in the slideshows, you actually watched them play out, or at least an idealised version of them. Through their puzzles you actively watch the Twins Murder their parents with rat poison The Time Traveller Ousting her rival by murdering his oldest ancestor and the scientist launching a nuke Of course I got the bad endings because I can't work out right now how to do the good endings, so I'm solving the puzzles the obvious way first. I also love that (endings)the villanous acts destroy the perpetrators too - The twins are forced to sell the ruse by eating the soup themselves so they die alongside their parents, the Time Traveller ruins her whole timeline in her petty act of revenge, and the scientist starts a Nuclear war that destroys the entire world as she gleefully watches from the prow of a yacht that she bought with her government contract money. No one gets away with it, except for the scientist who seems to not be all there...

Reignited Trilogy just looks disgustingly good. Even with the masses of nostalgia I have for those games. Speaking of nostalgic remake stuff, Let's Go Eevee is wonderful so far. But really as a small thing the fact that wild encounters are just there on the field kicks rear end. It just completely fills with critters all doing their thing. It's the same old pokemon game, even simpler, but dang it it works. Also Eevee is cute af.

I'm slightly salty because I haven't been excited for a videogame in quite a while now, mostly deliberately, but I really wanted to play Spyro. I didn't pay attention to release dates like usual but decided to check early in November because I felt like it should come out soon, or maybe it was already? Learned that it was supposed to have come out already in mid-October, but they pushed it back to mid-November, so that was a bit of a bummer, but otoh something to look forward to! And it wasn't like I had the initial October date in mind anyway, so that's nice. Then the day before it comes out, something else crosses my mind. I think I want it on PC because my Steam library is quite full but empty of things I actually WANT to play, but I do have a Switch here and maybe Spyro on the go? So I check if it's actually on Switch, and... ...oh. My PS4 is back in Germany  . gently caress me for assuming that things just come out on all platforms, I guess. I'm 100% sure that it will be on both Switch and PC eventually, but it's still a bit annoying.

I'm planning to get a switch during a black Friday sale and the fact Spyro isn't out for it is disappointing. I think I'll get Zelda and hopefully not bounce off it like I did for the WiiU.

I think I'll get Zelda and hopefully not bounce off it like I did for the WiiU. I just got one with it and I'm appreciating how it feels like the most and least 'Zelda' Zelda so far. It's amazingly open ended and unguided, willing to just let you figure poo poo out for yourself for the most part. The way they implemented familiar tools is neat as hell though. They're part of the regular limited (and destructible) weapon inventory but work in new ways. The boomerang is a melee weapon if you treat it as such but if you toss it it'll come back. You have to catch it midair though. You want ice or fire magic? Kill a wizrobe and take their rod. Bow no longer is a dungeon-found special item, they're now everywhere. Their uses are familiar but massively expanded and the way you get things completely changes the whole dynamic.

I just wasn't a big fan of my weapons breaking every three hits or the fact that it could start raining at any point and my options would be wait it out or stop climbing the giant cliff I'm over halfway up Also from what I played the map felt huge just to be huge. Like it's cool that Hyrule is that big but it felt like mostly empty space which isn't my jam. If it's taking me forever to get from point a to b I want there to at least be things to do. Admittedly I didn't get very far in BotW before Persona 5 came out and I haven't gone back to it because it didn't grab me like best Zelda of all time Majora's Mask does

You wind up drowning in decent gear pretty fast once you're off the Great Plateau. Rain is just annoying as hell though, there's no question about that.

You wind up drowning in decent gear pretty fast once you're off the Great Plateau. At first I wasn't so keen but I'm starting to enjoy the improvisational feel it gets as a result. I've definitely taken to having half the inventory dedicated to utility weapons I may need for specific moments and the other half is whatever has the highest damage number when I'm passing pick ups. The size of the world feels like the space they could merely 'imply' with the previous game's maps. I'm a fan of desolate locations and don't necessarily see it as a drawback when the tone fits. When in the middle of nowhere I'm definitely getting a shadow of the colossus vibe from how they used Hyrule. (They did overdo it on the rain causing surfaces to be slippy though. It blows.)

It would have been nice if something like the full climbing set would make you immune to slipping in the rain, but nope, no counter what so ever.

Full climbing set also makes climbing moderately tall walls possible in rain. Do 6-8 manual grabs, then jump up. Even with slipping down a ways, you get far enough up to actually get somewhere. It' still annoying and expensive on stamina though.

An ancient iPad that looks exactly like the WiiU controller but can't actually have the WiiU controller give any functionality because it would alienate Switch users. Wind Waker was fantastic with having all the inventory and map right in your palm at all times but nope can't have that anymore

Course in the next paragraph it says quote:"In doing our testing without the touch features," he said, "we noticed looking back and forth between the GamePad and the screen actually took a little something away from this type of Zelda game." So who knows what the real reason is

I feel that the primary gameplay mechanic in BOTW is exploration so it's a little weird that you get randomly punished for doing it and there is no way for the player to prepare for or negate this.

Meh, tehre's usually a way to get to anything of interest that can be navigated even in the rain. Sure it's annoying when I have to stop climbing something big that I was in the middle of, but there's so much to see that there's always something else to switch to.

I'm so disappointed that Astro Bot Rescue Mission isn't co-op, or at least doesn't have a co-op version, like the game it's based off of. Would've bought it immediately. As is, it's just another really nice looking game that gets buried behind in a backlog that I want to get around to playing sometime.

I don't want to be a downer in the feel good thread, but I felt exactly the same as you do now when I first played Disgaea 5; I was having a lot of fun with the 10 different ways you can make your dudes stronger, but in the post-game, there's only one way to grind if you want to make a viable team and it kind of sucks. Still, you'll get literally 100 hours before you hit that point, and it really is fun all the while!
