I enjoyed the plot the entire way through and I haven’t had a jrpg help me connect with characters that hard in a long time. it’s also one of the only times I’ve not only been ok with grinding but had it feel fun more than a chore. once you get that battle system down to it just becomes so fun. it almost turned into a rythym game with how smooth the combat was for me. I dunno it hit every good thing in my brain when I played it. |

I finally got Shandalar (the old Microprose singleplayer MtG RPG game) working in a VM and I'm having fun nostalging out and playing the sort of Magic matches my friends and I would have played if someone had let us loot the rare cards case at the local game store. |

im stuck on 4 boss cells of dead cells; I’ve beaten the hand on 4 cells but cant get past conjunctivius to get to the giant. usually use a survival heavy xbow build but I suck at parrying ;_; think this might be as far as I go, pushing farther is just such a chore |

biosterous posted:oh jeez that was a fun game. i made some stupid deck once that gave me infinite turns and i'd set up a lot of black vises and then force my opponent to draw lots of cards Yeah, one of the great things about Shandalar is that they didn't care about tournament legality or stuff like that, so it includes a bunch of cards that were already banned for being too good when it was made and a bunch more that are now either super extra banned or incredibly rare and sought-after because they're so good, and it doesn't make any attempt to stop you from doing things that would result in your opponent setting the table on fire if you tried them in real-world play. So you can play the game "normally" and have a challenging but not too challenging MtG experience, or with a bit of work you can utterly break the game and steamroll everything with complete nonsense. Which is my favourite kind of game  Current status: got myself a few manalinks, starting to put together a white/black deck to replace the white/green one I started with. Kind of want to do an "opposites attract" sort of gimmick so one white/black and one blue/red, and maybe try to do something really weird with the third slot like an all artifacts deck |

the yu gi oh card game is one of my guilty pleasures because it is really terrible in a fun way and the switch version is a blast for the same reasons it sounds like shandalar was - i pretty much immediately was able to throw together a deck that gets at least one blue eyes white dragon out on the very first turn and just steamroll everything |

It's very satisfying, on turn three it can regularly come out with a buffed up 4000 attack plus monster with cards to wreck the defense so that you can wallop the opponent in the face with a shovel |

I just got around to playing xenoblade 2. What an awful game. I have a Santa scroll of reasons why the game is a bland mess, but it’s a jrpg, so bland mess is normal; the main thing that makes it complete dogshit is the weird level disparity of monsters sharing a space. Level 6 babies first bad guy hangs out near a level 72 Death Baboon and you better believe the loving monkey will activate and chase you down, wipe your party out in one hit. Makes it hard to level up, explore, exist. I’m stuck trying to kill a ninth level.crab on an island for a main story quest, because they also filled the island with these level 40 stick men that, even if the nearest one is across the island, will activate when I’m halfway done with the crab and belch, which causes me to explode. Like, what is that? What a complete piece of poo poo. ---------------- |

xenoblade 2 looks like it was made by a bunch of extremely horned up weirdos. like not just a little horney but very very too horny i finaly got past conjunctivius on 4 cells in dead cells and actually got to the giant with like 1/10 health and almost full malaise and died in 1 hit and i dont think i want to grind hard enough to get good at the cavern to get to 5 cells so time to go back and finish ori i think |

There’s also non anime girl weapon slaves, but the cutscenes do like to set the camera from the pov of a small man standing on one improbable tit and looking across the other tit at the people having conversations as much as possible. It’s really weird and I don’t do anime things that much so I’m like idk maybe this is normal why is my wife laughing what is she typing to her friend while laughing ---------------- |

Just imagine you’re in a battle tunnel where the main story missions are all you do and the game is bearable to play. These are my xenoblade discoveries as of last night. ---------------- |

Xenogears was the ps1 game that crucified a Furby like Christ on the second, ran out of budget, disc. From what I remember it was gnostic word salad. Xenosaga I never played but I think it used the same kind of religious stuff to inform the story? Xenoblade is the current series and part two is the first one I’ve played and its all uninspired gameplay and m’lady storytelling/visual design. For all I know I could end up fighting antigod in order to stop the nefarious plot of Sigmund Lacan, beautiful bishonen survivor of the worldship Pleroma that crashed on Yrth ten billion years in the past, but so far it’s all floating boobs and flat asses in hot pants. ---------------- |

It's such a fun and easy fight, really lets me chill and miss shots with the insect glaive Stop worrying it just takes play time with the game and weapon. I've been playing them since Tri U on the WiiU. I put probably 150 hours in before I really felt like I wasn't being carried. I'm just about comfortable enough with how the switch axe moves at um I think I'm just about at expansion content, I unlocked High Rank but still haven't seen the quest to go to the icy place. (I haven't looked at the monster list but I hope that snow bunny is back, because that's the first thing I ever fought since it was the demo fight for Tri U). Once you get into it you can take most monsters out without thinking too much. Just realize it's a 5-7 minute long mission against 1 really big enemy not a horde it's going to take some time. You also want to have the right weapon element to hit their weakness. If you are getting hit make sure you cover their attack type, if you are dodging most stuff maybe throw on 1-2 pieces but you should be good against most things). I'm not good enough with KB+M to go full attack mode but last night I got the first hint of being ready. I was fighting a Kirin and threw out an SoS because it's more fun with other hunters, 2 people joined who immediately were 1 shot, then one of them came back and were 1 shot again before both sitting at camp saying they weren't going to use the last life so I had to solo the entire fight on multiplayer difficulty. And let me tell you I was successful, feels amazing when you pull of a dodge into an attack then knocks the monster over ends with a hook shot then riding around on their back followed by removing their tail and them spinning out from the sudden shift in weight and a complete beat down. I really don't think I can repeat too easily I normally get hit way too often but sometimes you just fall into the moveset, I remember really really hating Kirin and spending multiple days trying and failing the fight to unlock the end game. So much easier this time, I apparently committed that moveset to memory.

It's my first Mon hun since freedom unite on the psp, and it scratches that itch perfectly. I don't really have the attention span to only use one weapon, so I bounce between them all (except for the guns, I'm here to chop monsters not shoot them like a c*ward). I'll pick it up a bit more once both the wife and the girlfriend are back in school and I'll have more time to play. I'll get that fire chicken eventually, on my life |

I just built a new pc and it's really great. I'm very tempted to pick up MHW and Iceborne for it, but the combination of having to start over and not being able to play with my buddy that I play with on ps4 is a dealbreaker. I really really wish there was crossplay. If I could still play with my friend, I'd be willing to abandon my character and start over anew.

I've always stuck with a single weapon type per play through bouncing seems really difficult since I normally don't feel good with a weapon until I have 30-40 hours with it. Mon Hun is very much about completely mastering the weapon and doing crazy stuff with it. Each weapon has different animations and timings and you need to get them down so you can dodge and attack. I'm generally right in the monsters butt the entire fight trying to rip the tail off.
