The thing that really sets the Jupiter games apart for me is the level of polish with the ui/presentation. It's easy to be lazy when you're making a generic puzzle game but they consistently knock it out of the park.

Infection in Animal Crossing Hollow Knight is sometimes there's fungal decay on the trees and you need to maintain the tree once a day or it dies off in a week.

Also, Daisy is not in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and if she's not in New Horizons I will not buy the game and will karate chop my Switch in half. Goldie is a poor substitute and I won't stand for it.

Boy howdy I am just absolute poo poo at Resident Evil 4. It's been too long, and I miss gyro controls from the Steam controller, but I'm getting there  It's ironic that Mercenaries mode would be such an excellent training/git gud mode for practice and it's only available after you've gone through the campaign once already. This time, I will unlock the hand cannon.

Edit: I kind of wish there was some sort of randomly generated story-like mode where you had your upgrades, could increase the difficulty, and just go nuts getting from point A to Point B. Sort of like an RE4 version of that after-game mode in Diablo 3. Adventure mode? Ah well. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Jan 22, 2020 |

So Bravely Default is amazing. I'm super excited for the sequel and I've hardly even played the first! I've only just got the Knight Job making it a total of 4 jobs I now have, but I just love it. The look, the music!, the options, and just the potential. You can just see how awesome it's going to be, and the Brave/Default system is pretty loving brilliant in its simplicity. It's crazy because I had a good time with DQVIII on my 3DS and thought that I could enjoy XI one day, but honestly it dragged near the end and I just wanted it to end. I may get at that point in Bravely Default, but frankly it's just the right amount of complex that I need. So I need to beat Bravely Second and the first before the new game comes out because already just a few hours in it's easily my favorite JRPG atm, if not in a long time. Rupert Buttermilk posted:Boy howdy I am just absolute poo poo at Resident Evil 4. It's been too long, and I miss gyro controls from the Steam controller, but I'm getting there Dude let's do it! I'm just at the castle after pushing myself through the Village part. I love that part cause it's actually pretty tense and scary cause your weak. Once you get the new rifle and a few levels into your Red9 it's just blasting fun. I'm keeping the OG shot gun this time, though I may get the last one instead. I'm only on Normal mode for now though. I think I'll do a Hard mode later... Maybe I thought you could only start in Normal? No regrets anyway, I'm super rusty.

Yeah, professional mode is only available after you beat the game once. Also, if you finish Ada's "Separate Ways" (also only available once you beat the main game once), you can play Professional mode with Ashley in the suit of armour, making her effectively invincible.

fuckwolf posted:That’s my only real gripe about playing it so far: I want to just experience it for myself and not lean on guides, but drat sometimes that’s hard to do. Especially because nothing about the weapons/leveling/gameplay mechanics are really explained. That's one of the paradoxes in Dark Souls. It was basically designed to be one of those things where you have some kind of community helping eachother out as they piece together all the scant fragments throughout the game. The Asylum is not just supposed to teach you how to play and controls and such, it's supposed to get you used to reading those little notes on the ground that through the rest of the game are left by other players. There are so many things that would be almost impossible to find without hints and help, from hidden bonfires to entire areas. It's also a big part of the storytelling, or lack thereof. There's very little direct telling the player anything, you just have these bits of flavor to piece together into something bigger, either for you to have your own interpretation or track down other people's big lore explanations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlkEH0ovDhs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No0fNjx1PJc One of those is a good starting guide, the other is my favorite Dark Souls video ever.

romanowski posted:anyway the game is absolutely balanced around the idea that the map takes up a slot and you can be tempted to take it out to get an additional slot. if they didn’t want players to make that decision then the map wouldn’t be a badge and you’d have one fewer slot overall and nobody would be making this dumb complaint. thanks for reading More games need to be like Nier Automata where basic quality-of-life features are just additional pieces of equipment that can be slotted in and out as you wish. I don't need no fuckin' map or health gauge when those slots can be used for another asskicking +6 upgrade.

RE: SwitcherBulgakov posted:this...gives me hope I got Witcher 3 on a whim during the sale, and am really enjoying it. I'm finding it hard to put down. As mentioned before the graphics/framerate have taken a hit compared to PC (and maybe PS4/console?), but not enough to ruin my experience. The bad: There's a lot going on with all the systems in the game (alchemy, potions/bombs/crafting/etc.), and while not overly confusing, it's still quite a bit to learn. The Witcher sense ability "works", but it sometimes feels a bit obtuse when scanning a larger area (like a battle field). Maybe the PC game is similar (it's been years since I've played). The poorer graphics definitely contribute to this though. When running around, or galloping on my horse off the road, I often get blocked by some of the trees/other items in the game. This could be due to my failing boomer eyesight, but I think the framerate/draw in/graphics might be part of it as well. This might have happened to me in the PC game as well. But I'm still loving it. The gameplay is still a blast. If you're on a budget, maybe wait for a sale again, and grab it then. Or grab a cheaper used copy of the physical.

Kragger99 posted:RE: Switcher the crafting seems kind of overwhelming at first, but it's actually not bad at all. You only have to craft potions/bombs once - after that they will auto replenish every time you meditate. For gear, it's usually only worthwhile to craft the green Witcher gear - everything else will get replaced so fast that it's not really worth the materials. Even on PC/PS4 the Witcher sense is a little hazy, and you have to be fairly close to things for them to be highlighted, which seems annoying at first but I think is ultimately a good thing, since you still have to actively search for stuff instead of just flipping it on and seeing all your objectives at once. It just makes the searching easier. Also don't be the kind of player that loots every single item to sell, you'll just fill up your inventory and have to make constant trips to vendors. Pick up crafting ingredients and food/drink since they don't use any space, and things like jewelry to sell. I only ever picked up orange gear, or maybe yellow if I had the inventory space. gey muckle mowser fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jan 22, 2020 |

Personally, I'm playing on an easier difficulty so that I don't have to worry about doing it all in the best way in order to not get my poo poo kicked in constantly. I realize most of you crave higher difficulty settings and stuff, but it's just not for me. I want to experience the story and feel like a badass chopping up monsters.
