I'll quibble and say I am Setsuna is entirely OK. There are far worse games you could play and the story is a bit like a retread of FFX. It's not a very visually interesting game and the gameplay isn't all that polished. But if you can get it cheap and give it a fair shake, it's a perfectly acceptable time-waster and scratches the JRPG itch well enough.

I found Battle Chasers to be far more frustrating. Load times are agonizingly slow on the Switch and it's got a less severe case of Wasteland II's visual issues where some poo poo can be tough to see. Plus the last boss is bullshit.

Oh man, I forgot Battle Chasers even existed and as you said the load times are absolutely terrible. It's also ponderously slow, characters aren't balanced at all against each other, and the main character progression mechanic basically pre-supposes you're going to play the game into NG+ even though you can very easily do everything in your first playthrough and NG+ otherwise is the least NG+ possible.

I don't remember the last boss basically at all, but my setup was obscenely overpowered for what the game thought was challenge. Simultaneously, if I tried using anything else I'd have been rocked into next week by even basic fights.

Kind of annoyed that the rewards you get for defeating spirits is tied directly into your power level vs the enemies power level. So if you take your 10,000 rated M. Bison and fight a 1700, you get basically nothing.

I really liked the game! The controls feel pretty tight, and each stage is mostly just learning the patterns. The story is surprisingly cute and better than I expected. Even if you have difficulty with stages, there's an easier mode which is perfectly fine to just play and chill. I recommend getting it if the visual and audio aesthetic interests you.

disagree at least the open world like, worked. the interrogations and detective poo poo and that whole act of the game where they force you to solve a crime wrong are the worse parts

Yes. I’ll never forgive them for this. I could tell it was wrong, but there was no button to press for that and so the game forced me to solve it wrong and then yelled at me for solving it wrong. Does the game get better after that? I’ll never know. My Phelps turned in his badge that day (I ejected the disk).

Apparently there was a patch that came out between the initial release and when it finally shipped on Switch that changed the final boss to be way harder. But my build basically literally couldn't defeat it at max level. So I said gently caress it.

Thinks It's All Real
This is such a weird problem that I cannot google it.

My Joycons seem to stop working at times when entering certain menu prompts when I DO NOT have an internet connection. The fix is to hit the home button and go back to the game and the controller works. This happens in Smash when I get a tutorial screen when seeing something new and have to press a to advance. It also happens in Smash when I get to to a prompt to enter text on the keyboard. Or when I go into the profile page on the system menu. The joycons just don't respond to anything.

However, I don't have this problem if I have an internet connection.

I did not notice this before the most recent system update

Rockstar didn't develop L.A. Noire.

Nobody said they did. Rockstar started funding L.A. Noire once they took over publishing from Sony and were heavily involved in its production; it’s safe to say that they had at least some say in the direction development took and the way the final product turned out.

Spam rolls ruined the poo poo out of dark souls 3. Cheesy rear end losers, fight me like a proper man/woman!!

E: wait wait did 4 not have those either? Because he played that one a lot, maybe he's just full of poo poo because he's comparing it directly to 4
