Unlocked Blitzkrieg in Into the Breach over the weekend. They seem like a whole level of strategy that is going to take me a while to wrap my head around. I lobbed a boulder at a Vek using them last night, thinking I was making a good move. What I didn't realize is that boulder had just completed a circuit, and electrocuting one enemy now would involve also electrocuting everything else on the map, including the rest of my squad.

Game is real good. Wish there were a little bit more content though.

Eh, season 3 seemed like a good place to leave it off. Though who knows when we might see em again. Steve Purcell works for Pixar now oddly enough, but has ruled out having Sam and Max show up in a Pixar joint. (not really fitting their whole style and all)

Would be extremely unlikely but loving hilarious for them to be in Smash Bros.

I finally picked up Diablo 3 after seeing it was on sale, despite not really having had the motivation to play the PC version with any regularity in the past, like, 4 years. And now here I am at work, daydreaming about getting home and playing a 7 year old game I've already played to death, almost entirely because it's on a handheld.

Magic game. Magic system.

Nobody wants that, not a single person. You think you want it, and since you can't have it you've built it up as some important thing that would be amazing if only you could try it but if you actually had it in front of you it would make you vomit.

I love gyro aiming and use it in any game that has it, but it definitely takes me a few minutes to adjust to the aiming being backwards every time I sit down for a play session.

Hyrule is better at fanservice with a better variety of characters.

Fire Emblem is better at the other kind of fanservice

Fire Emblem warriors sounds like it would be great on paper, but they made some weird decisions that kind of kneecapped it. Being able to switch between, and order around multiple characters was cool, and theoretically the weapon triangle could have translated well. It's issues have been talked to death, but I still think a sequel could fix most of them pretty easily just because they can diversify with the first game's roster to build off of.

edit: In short, yeah Hyrule Warriors is a better game

edit: Hyrule warriors has issues too, btw. After the first few times the giant boss monsters can range from tedious to infuriating.

Yes! Blitz is one of my favorites but unfortunately scales extremely poorly into endgame. They're one of the teams you wanna go for 2 island wins with unless you wanna challenge yourself.

I really like how their playstyle feels like you're thinking 5 moves in advance

Fire Emblem Warriors fixes problems with Hyrule Warriors, then introduces new ones

Hyrule is like, 5 expansion packs worth of content - the original game is from 2014 and they kept releasing DLC for it and the switch version comes with all of it plus some more

More importantly the Switch version balances it for like, all levels of play. The original one was like 90% endgame level stuff

I'm also guessing your nostalgia for Zelda sound effects and music and 2d art is much stronger than your nostalgia for the 3DS Fire Emblem Games

Hyrule Warriors is a pretty cool game even if you don't like Warriors games. Also it's always fun for multiplayer

To be clear, Fire Emblem Warriors isn't exactly bad... it's just that there's loads of variety in different sword styles, even some for axes... but the only lance moveset is one shared by two pegasus knights in the vanilla game. Pegasus knights, if you know anything about Fire Emblem, are weak against archers. There's a couple other lance users in the dlc, but... you know, it's dlc. Just a boring, badly balanced roster. It's still kind of disappointing to me. :saddowns:

The switch port is an improvement on the original in every way, except for the fact that playing in 1080p highlights how low res the backgrounds are.

The most I've ever played a Final Fantasy game was the 6 hours or so I put into FFVII over the last couple of weeks before hitting my usual "oh right, I don't like 95% of JRPGs enough to hold my attention more than 6 hours or so" threshold. If it weren't for the easy-to-enable 3x speed and no-encounters cheats I probably wouldn't have made it more than 2 or 3 hours before it lost my attention, so... seems like it's all right on Switch? It runs fine but, to echo RandomFerret, the combination of incredibly low-poly character models plus blurry background images makes it painfully clear that absolutely nothing has been done to clean up these assets over the years.

Aiming backwards? What? With Gyro aiming you just point the switch where you want to aim.

If you really want to play FF7 but can deal with the low res backgrounds, you can get the steam version and, with a good bit of finangling, mod in machine-learning upscaled versions of the backgrounds. It's not as good as having the original renders, but it's not 320x240 either, while still being the intended art, more or less. The characters are still low poly but eh, it's part of the charm. I think you can mod in higher poly models too, but then you get into the issue of clashing art direction.
