I'm just going to quote myself: 100YrsofAttitude posted:I realize the game is month's old now, but I've finally delved deep into Wargroove and it's really not the Advance Wars killer, we all wanted, but it's not all that bad either. So here's a longish review. NoE is offering 6 euro (double the gold coins) if I pre-order Link's Awakening, and I am feeling PRETTY damned tempted, even if I still need to beat Dark Souls when I get back and the school year is finally starting again so my time is going to be shot. Save money (?) and not play games, or be patient? I'm also leaning heavily towards that voucher to be spent on Mario Maker 2 even if I'll never be crafting a level.

I'm a big fan of the Persona dancing games so I picked up Xonic. Super happy that I got it for less than a dollar. I really dislike having to move my thumbs from the buttons to the sticks randomly for extra inputs. At least the Persona games gave you the option of using bumpers for the scratches. The pink notes for stick movement are miserable. Not a big fan of the songs either. Way too much j-pop and not enough EDM. I'm going to give it a bit more time to give it a fair shot, but I'm not expecting my opinion to change. It's probably a good rhythm game for some people, but I am not one of them.

Having never played Monster Hunter before, I downloaded the demo and they just dump you straight in. I can't tell if I loving suck at this game or I'm just not used to the mechanics yet, but I've been smashing this beginner level monster for like 4 tries now and I have no idea what the gently caress I'm doing or why I can't kill the drat thing.

MH demos are notoriously bad at the experience. Sorry. 1. Pick a weapon that looks fun 2. Watch YouTube tutorial on that weapon. Everything plays extremely differently. Fights are long. Theres a reason the time limit on levels defaults to 55 min. The games is about going from a half hour battle to a 5 minute kill of dangerous beasties. Refining your skills

Your Computer posted:if you enjoy games with very deliberate combat (such as Dark Souls) and/or games with a fight/gather/craft loop and an insane amount of cat puns I would say it's still worth a shot because if you do end up enjoying it you've got hundreds and hundreds of hours ahead of you of one of the most fun and unique games of all time (it's not an overstatement to say there's nothing like it) Finally killed a monster. This is likely not my kind of game. I guess I should finally buy D3 for the switch. I think I prefer super fast paced smash and explosions and stuff.

Your Computer posted:I feel like most people who have played the monhun games went in blind (me included!) which is a shame, but if it's any help there's a very active and helpful community and the SA thread is always happy to help people starting out Yeah I've been tempted. I may have a way to get it free, so I'll see if that works out and if it doesn't I'm picking it up on sale the next chance I get, but Dark Souls style combat complexity has certainly been the selling point for me (and cats) Vegetable posted:I’ve played Dragon Quest games (but not 11) and I’m wondering what’s the point of playing if you’re gonna automate combat? Like... most of the game is combat, or optimizing for combat. Been playing 8 on my 3DS and combat is the absolute last thing that interests me in the game. It's a "numbers get bigger" endorphin-releaser covered in a super cozy game. You'll do enough actual battling with bosses, but just running around the map going from point A to B to meet the comically or stupidly charming denizens of a inexplicably detailed world is what sells the game for me. DQ8 and I have to assume all Dragon Quests are simple and easy and it's a beautiful thing because the games are actually good? There's 0 complications, you know what you need to do, and the game just wants you to relax and hang out with it for an hour or two. You don't need to Min-max, you don't need to collect ultimate items or steal everything, just like chill. Tim Roger's review of DQXI nails exactly what vibes 8 is giving me and I look forward to playing XI one day. I could maybe get a new audience not appreciating it, but anyone who ever liked old RPG's this fits like the most comfortable slipper. But even young kids could appreciate the simple charm of it. Come for the Goku, stay for your cozy nook away from trouble.

At its best Dragon Quest was a beautiful visual novel with fun characters and very colorful graphics. Lots of great fun little touches all over the place, and some pretty interesting twists and turns in the story. And there were lots of short little breaks where I could set the controller down and work one painting some minis for a moment. Beating the first boss fully automated was freeing. Never looked back. I think the main character went down during combat like a handful of times, and I lost maybe three fights through the whole thing? Great rpg.

These are like the official tutorial in the game, they give these guys access to the game to make them and stuff. It will.shpw you the moves syste.. what's you "bread and butter move" and when to use other attacks. Watch them for weapons you care about

Bloodstained has made me very sad, because I backed it and had to change my copy to Switch last year when my PC and PS4 both died. It’s the only game I’ve Kickstarted and it’s going to be the last one too. I’ve struggled through for 30 hours because I don’t have money or anything else to play

MonHun is a game where you'll struggle and not enjoy it much for a decent amount of time, then suddenly things start to click and you're maintaining a brutal offensive on monsters while dodging all their attacks, mounting them effortlessly, and trapping their escape routes that at that point you've memorized. It's definitely possible it's just not the game for you but it's also possible that once it does click you'll like it a lot and unfortunately it's really hard to know which it is.

I killed the boss twice and I was only slightly frustrated but had fun. I can definitely see how this game can be fun if I dumped a lot of time into it.

I played Tri on the Wii and found it really difficult, took me forever to kill monsters. When the Wii U one came out with the dual blades it was like a whole new game. I only used them and I only used them in Generations and World. They're so much more fun, gently caress being slow.

Glad to have tried Fire Emblem but its just not engaging me at all, fights are a walkover, the story is just a reminder I can skip cutscenes, christ that dialogue is grating, Oh well, sell and move on.
