precision posted:I would assume that the people who literally only play Fortnite are mostly people who probably wouldn't play other games if Fortnite didn't exist Yeah, this seems like the same crowd that bought the Wii for Wii Sports and never bought another game for the system. Obviously it's understandable why companies would wanna tap into this group of people but it's naive to think a lot of these people are going to suddenly become the types of gamers that own all the systems and have a massive Steam library instead of just going back to not really playing videogames when they get tired of Fortnite.

Biggoron is cool and all, but gently caress that fetch quest to get it

Biggoron sword rules in rando because it isn't usually somewhere horrible and it allows even my dumb rear end to consistently one cycle every boss

Best tactics is Disgaea and getting the positioning just right to A. unload ten attacks in a row into a single target B. throw a chain of people to the end of the map and work your way back C. use above to clear an entire geo board in one turn. Positioning is also why Into the Breach is second best tactics.

CEX is good for cheap PS3 and Wii games but I have more than enough of those already. It's also good for children's DVDs as gently caress the digital prices for Disney movies these days

Do you guys prefer the “each side takes turns” or the “each character takes turns” style of tactics games?

Jay Rust posted:Do you guys prefer the “each side takes turns” or the “each character takes turns” style of tactics games? Sides for sure. My number one pet peeve in them is being unsure whether a position is safe or not. Extremely long-ranged attacks, AoEs, complex turn orders, etc, all make that difficult to judge.

I do like that character-based turn order allows for things like initiative and speed to exist, which can be fun!

my assumption here is that fortnite being the primary game that kids play means that they're not 'growing up with gamestop'.. going to the video game store is not a ritual for them like it was for our generation. so that leaves two markets: low-income families, and people my age that looked up a deal online before deciding to go to an actual brick and mortar store it makes a lot of sense that foot traffic is down, in that respect. it's not just that digital sales are overtaking physical, but there's no new blood coming in i just need gamestop to live long enough for me to eventually complete my ps2 jrpg collection (and anything else i feel like grabbing for the system) Jay Rust posted:Do you guys prefer the “each side takes turns” or the “each character takes turns” style of tactics games?

Basically for every gameplay difference between the Fire Emblem brand of SRPGs and the FFT style I prefer FE's take

One thing I really don’t like in tactics games is traversing a map in combat mode when there’s nothing to do except move.

The 7th Guest posted:instead you can actually get what you want instead of going to a physical store and inspecting the condition of 10 different SNES Jeopardy cartridges why would you be caring about the chaff, and why would it be random if you get to specifically choose if something looks okay to you...??? i mean, what? this literally makes no sense to me.

Yeah the best maps always have something happening and just end when the action would lull They don't always need to be high-octane (it gets exhausting if every single map is going all-out), but even on a chiller map you can have a consistent level of chill rather than alternating chill and nothing

Every strategy since at least FFT shows a turn order tree. I’ve never loved I-go-you-go unless the design tries to incorporate simultaneous actions (XCOM’s overwatch for example) or balance out the difference between player 1 and 2. A lot of modern skirmish board games will give player 1 the benefit of attacking first but player 2 wins ties or gets the benefit of reacting to player 1’s hard commitment. Like Fire Emblem is just too basic for me, I will probably not play the other games in the series.

It's definitely way easier than your average FE. Maddening difficulty which was added later is hard as gently caress though

The 7th Guest posted:lol what i'm saying is that when gamestop actually carried retro games on location, the SNES Jeopardy and NES Duck Hunt carts were the ONLY thing there i wasn't talking about gamestop in terms of local stores since around here they haven't had retro stuff in person since before they were called EB. iirc they were done with cartridges the second PS2 rolled around. i guess i'm spoiled by local stores actually, you know, having a selection. all I was commenting on was that you get stuff from gamestop in random condition and it's cool to inspect things in person to actually know what you're getting instead of buying stuff from a website that just has generic listings for each game. maybe gamestop has improved their offerings by putting this stuff on a listing online but that just goes to show how garbage they were to begin with.

Apparently the new DLC (which is like a 8 hour mini campaign) is pretty great on the difficulty front but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Boss monsters are awesome, I wish every fight was a puzzle like that, but maps are flat and expansive when I prefer small and highly detailed. I have more experience with Advance Wars and similar complaints about those games. Honestly the best battle system I’ve seen in a tactical video game is Card Hunters which makes full use of movement, terrain, and area control without being muddy. It’s like someone took 4E d&d and made a card game out of it. Maybe with Slay the Spire introducing gamers to board game concepts a new generation of designers will turn to like Gloomhaven for inspiration because that’s the best in turn based tactics design in a modern game.

The 7th Guest posted:not everyone has that kind of local store, unfortunately. for years the only 'nerd store' near me was about 40 minutes away and their selection was not only garbage, but the few games they did have were marked up above what the games would cost on ebay yeah there's a store not far from me that has Panzer Dragoon Saga, Rule of Rose, a ton of other games just available. Not that I'm going to be paying their asking prices for the first two there ever (even though they're pretty fair compared to eBay). this is in addition to like, 2 other chains that exist around here that i'm less fond of but still have okay selections occasionally.
