It's 100% not an RPG though. It's a story driven game that's kinda like rugby, or soccer/american football. I came for the story, played a bunch of rather tense rugby matches with a lot on the line, and got interesting story. Winning the important matches is optional, it just changes the story and the endings for your characters. The nice music improves the story and made me nervous for some of the matches. I did clutch through and win them all...but it's not necessary. enigma74 fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jan 21, 2019 |

corn in the bible posted:gently caress yiik i'm gonna play a good game corn in the bible posted:Also, seriously, is Natural Doctrine just really lovely or is it gonna go full anime hosed up on me cause I ain't stand for that Well, uhh enjoy? Natural Doctrine is a flawed game that could have been good, but it's got a drab color palette and brutal difficulty spikes. The battles get extremely long with little room for error and game overs on the death of anyone is a little tedious with no mid map save points. There are check points but dont depend on them. When you "get" natural doctrine you can steam roll levels like no one's business, but if you make a single mental error or dont stay in Gary Kasparov mode at all times, be ready to either grind or restart.

Like every level basically has a single solution and deviating from that even a little equals losing.

The Last Remnant is a fucker sometimes, was it really necessary to cap a long but fairly easy battle with a boss that can reduce your morale to zero and buff himself so he can do six attacks for every one of yours?

I'm on the final stretch of the Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, and I've completed everything there is to complete. Every sidequest (that I could find, I'm sure there are a couple ones that you need to stumble across), every question mark in Toussaint, everything, even did it all on Death March. Now I just have what appears to be an extended epilogue to play through, and dang, it's going to be weird to be done this game. I've probably put over a hundred hours into this, give or take, and the idea that the entire Witcher saga is complete is going to be a weird feeling when I put the game down for good.

I never beat the Touissant Gwent Tournament or the Extreme Cosplay after getting 100% in everything else because gently caress that. What Witcher 3 has over nu-Assassin's Creed is that it's a hell of a lot more restrained with splattering icons on the map, Skellige caches aside.

I didn't find Extreme Cosplay too hard, except for those mages using magic that's literally nowhere else in the game. I was confused as hell. Other than that, I was just Aarding and dodging all over the place. The Gwent Tournament though, gently caress. I was sweating bullets throughout, and only a lucky draw got me through the end (was able to draw a pair of shield maidens and the hero that musters shield maidens - played the maidens on one round for the bonuses, discarded them, shuffled the discard back, played Cerys to muster all of them at once and played a horn, even the opponent's four extra cards couldn't beat beat 72 extra points). Didn't lose once, but did find out that there's a split second moment to save right before the fight begins halfway through, so that would've helped at least. gently caress Gwent though.

HGH posted:Most of these devs seem to come from a place of nostalgia or have the same "JRPGs were only good in the 90s!" perspective and Live A Live didn't get an English fanpatch till the mid 2000s. I wish Live A Live had gotten a sequel. It's such a cool idea, I'd love to see it done a again.

Inspector Gesicht posted:What, a playable Cloud Atlas without the yellowface? I never saw cloud atlas, so, maybe? Interconnected short stories is a good enough framing device for a game that I'm surprised I don't see it more often. I've been really enjoying it in Octopath traveler, although it took a while to get going. Speaking of Octopath Traveler, there's something about it that's been bumming out: you don't get to wear your secondary job costume on your overworld sprite. I know that would have required them to make way more sprites and isn't exactly practical, but, danmit, I wanna run around in Tressa's hunter costume! It has ears!
