The only game with a good gambit system is Tales of Hearts R because you just use it for the other party members and control yours directly.

Tales of Woe posted:Persona is a spinoff of SMT that uses SMT's demon collecting/fusing systems but calls them personas instead and adds the high school life sim / VN stuff Oh OK, thanks. Every time someone talks about how EO is "a dungeon crawler, but also anime" I keep thinking that I should pick one up, but I gotta look into them more. I guess I have enough stuff to play on my 3DS at this point...

C-Euro posted:Which one? Just jump right in with EO5? The series goes on sale fairly often, I suggest starting with Etrian Odyssey Untold since that's a remake of the first game but with an added story mode that contains some extra stuff you wouldn't get playing through the game normally as well as giving you a specific party that is tailored to the game itself so that you can more easily get accustomed to the game's mechanics for if/when you decide to play classic mode where you're in charge of making your own characters.

I wouldn't start with Nexus but you can't go wrong with any of the other 3DS ones.

I used to play action quake 2 on ~24fps back when my only pc was my dad's pentium 75 with no 3d gpu. 24fps in games is loving terrible is what I'm saying.

Back in the day low FPS didn't automatically equal bad performance, sometimes it meant "the sheer awesomeness of what is happening onscreen is too much for your PS2 to handle." Nowadays I'm a huge elitist baby though and will refund anything on Steam that can't hit 60fps locked on my system.

I like intentional slowdown, it's a really cool effect when you do something so screen bustingly awesome that the whole fabric of the system buckles under the weight of it. I wish more games than shmups ever designed with intentional slowdown in mind

exquisite tea posted:Back in the day low FPS didn't automatically equal bad performance, sometimes it meant "the sheer awesomeness of what is happening onscreen is too much for your PS2 to handle." Yeah that's pretty accurate, lmao. Also, many of the competently games made back then had the input work correctly, so moving your mouse by 5cm on your desk produced the exact same input every time independant of the FPS. Many modern games today literally can't do that, so dropping fps doesn't just cause stutter, it often also makes input higly irregular which turns just about any game into trying to fight in molasses.

lol, the knife's damage in RE2 is tied to framerate, so people on PC were upping it to ridiculous levels to kill bosses in seconds.

in your daily nioh update news i wish it did a better job at communicating which combat skills are universal because i picked up the grapple and ki pulse on stance changing ones off the bat since i knew that they'd apply everywhere but i held off on getting the "boost your attack" and "ki pulse while dodging" ones because i thought i'd have to pick and choose them for the specific weapon i want to use. you could've just made a tab for "general skills" guys.

The option to have film grain when they rarely replicate any of the other optical qualities of film (low depth of field, dynamic range, etc) baffled me as some kind of cargo cult thing
