Hollow Knight looks good as poo poo. Even if the gameplay is hit or miss, the artwork is top notch. If every screen shot looks like dark muted blues & greens, it's because they're supposed to. Surprise fucker!!!!! In-game you can tell every area apart. They're very distinct. You'll know if you're in Deepnest or Greenpath or Fungal Wastes or City of Tears. It's all stylish as hell

Hollow Knight is gorgeous and the art is great but I find everything so same-y and dreary that I get nothing out of exploring, which is the main appeal of Metroidvanias for me, so I bounced off it pretty hard. Still recommend it to people because I can tell it's a good game and most people clearly connect with it, but it leaves me cold.

I don’t understand what the hell just happened in here. I hit a wall in Hollow Knight a few months ago and haven’t picked it up since, but good lord, the game’s setting and graphics are amazing you asses. You absolute dogshits. Anyways, please add my friend code for Iggy Pop the Fighter in DD. Thank you. 3481-6936-4989

I just figured out how to attach the pinwheel to the bird LABO, I can shoot puffs of air to direct birds to gather food, but I momentarily enabled the bird to have propellers- not sure how I did it and I can't seem to find a way to re-enable that mode. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I finally beat the Dragon boss in SW: Quest. As always, I just needed to complete the "bitch about it on the internet" step first. I'm still not a fan of bosses that can potentially incapacitate your whole party for multiple turns. I'm not entirely sure on the details of the roar card. Seemed like it was 100% chance of a debuff, with a small % chance of stun.

Woah, me too. I didn't end up grinding, I just made a party of all healers and beat their faces against the enemies til they died Fair warning, the next area has a boss that does the same thing to you

I have only played Hyrule Warriors and FEW. FEW has better systems, I think, and I like all of them, even Pegasi, but Hyrule Warriors has a ton of really inventive characters, and only a few of them aren't fun. I don't think people who like these games think much of Berserk.

I keep seeing it but theres nothing in common between musou and edf in their gameplay except many enemies on screen. Musou has like a map with strategy and objectives. Edf has KILL EVERYTHING. The latter is obviously superior in its simplicity.

Will someone give a quick rundown of FF XII? I've only really completed 6,7, and 8 and have played a fair amount of the newer online one. I know that's it's really different than the old ones but if I enjoyed what I played of the MMO will I like this one?

It seems pretty likely that you'll be into it, as the major criticism was that it had too much MMO in its game design. Combats are mostly auto, and you kit out characters with the behaviors you want them to exhibit in potentially fairly complicated ways. The story spends a lot of time early on some boring/annoying viewpoint-type characters, which is also a big turn-off for some. I think the systems are pretty interesting and on the whole it's probably an above-average FF story for me.

FFXII has been my favorite FF since I played it on PS2, but I've always felt I was in the minority there. Did you play the first Xenoblade? It feels kind of like that -- a 'single-player MMO' with an automated battle system -- so if you liked Xenoblade it might be right up your alley. I mostly liked it because I love Ivalice.

I finished Blaster Master Zero 2 and it was a delightful game. Good platforming and the overhead sections took a lot more skill than the previous game. I especially liked the end which was more like a clever puzzle to get through, really a nice cap to the game. If any of you guys like shooting platformers take a look at the series.

I know that's it's really different than the old ones but if I enjoyed what I played of the MMO will I like this one? FF12 is really weird in a lot of ways. The combat isn't really like FF14; rather, I'd say it's more like FF4-9 but with simple AI scripts you can write. The structure, however, does feel a bit more like an MMO. I'd actually say it's like some weird combination of a Dragon Quest game and an MMO, especially in two ways: First, after a certain point (once you have all six party members), the game just starts telling you to go to some place halfway across the world and it's up to you if you want to explore the ten million side paths (obvious and not) on the way. Two, you'll never have enough money. This was true in the original, and it's even worse in all the versions thereafter: not only are there a million more Gambit triggers (the aforementioned AI scripts) and they're all available from the start, but also the Zodiac Job system soft encourages you to use and outfit six party members, not just three. But you wanted to know if you'd like it. So, in no particular order, here are the Five Biggest Things To Know About Final Fantasy 12. If none of these sound like major issues to you, you'll likely enjoy FF12. 1) It has a very different story pace and feel than other FF games; the obvious exception being Tactics. If you loved the FFT story (and I don't just mean understand it but actively love it) you'll be highly likely to enjoy FF12's, as there's many of the same themes but you've got an actual cast of characters on the player's end. 2) The primary viewpoint character is the second least important character in the overall story, tied with bunny-girl Chewbacca. He's fine enough but "inoffensive" is at the higher end of what one can say about Vaan. What makes things worse is that... 3) ...the three actually important characters (Ashe, Basch, and Balthier) are all geniunely well written and interesting characters and so the start of the story can be a real drag when you're stuck with Vaan and Penelo and their relatively less compelling narratives. 4) A well composed set of Gambits can handle most every situation for you, which has led to complaints of "the game playing itself". I'm personally of the opinion that this just tilts the gameplay burden from mindless rote execution (cast Fire on fire weak enemies, heal when low, etc.) to broader level strategic planning (which licenses do I get, what do I equip people with, who do I put into this fight and when) as well as making you have to consider when to break from your planned Gambit script, but nevertheless: if you feel there's a significant and meaningful difference between putting a line in a script for a character to cast Cure when someone is under 50% HP and manually casting Cure when someone is under 50% HP, then you're going to have a bad time. 5) The voices were recorded in a cramped submarine off the coast of Alaska during a blizzard. More seriously, the compression done to have the game's (very extensive and well acted) dialogue fit on a PS2 disc can sound pretty bad at times, and they either didn't have the source recordings anymore or had decided to do the initial recordings on an old Soundblaster that was on fire most of the time. It's really not that bad, overall, but some of the worst cases come from, say, soldiers decked out in full armor where the compression combined with the "I'm in a suit of armor" effect multiplies into something really grating, and there's a lot more of that early on.

Sing me up on the "Dead Cells is far better than Hollow Knight" train. I found Hollow Knight to be a tad tedious and the gameplay quite lacking, with poor progression for a Metroidvania. The art style is actually the one thing I'd say works very well in its favor. Overall, I think it's a game goons massively overhyped. Now Dead Cells, that is a game that deserves its praise.
