What's the deal with Persona 4? Did I just get tricked into buying a boring virtual novel disguised as a JRPG? How many more hours in a row am I going to be pressing A?

Ugly In The Morning posted:I got Satisfactory expecting it wouldn’t really work for me and I’d end up refunding it. It seemed like the kind of game that would kind of appeal to me but be too fiddly to really get into. just wait 'til you get to mess with yeet cannons assuming they didn't patch that out. they'd better noooot

Like two or three, probably. It does have some of that good SMT dungeon crawling, but it's broken up with a LOT of talking. If you want more of a normal JRPG experience, hope and pray that Atlus ports SMT Nocturne or Digital Devil Saga. e: anilEhilated posted:How much romance/sex does it have? Somehow most VNs (or VN-like RPGs) tend to make all the porn alarms go off in my head. It has some romance, you can choose to date some of the female characters, but no sex. It's not that kind of VN.

So I couldn't resist and bought Persona 4 (even if I end up not liking it, I have spent a lot more money on things I ended up not liking than 20 bucks...) and I have a quick question before I begin playing: English Voices, or Japanese Voices? I assume Japanese voices are with subtitles, which is usually how I prefer to consume my animes, but I didn't find any setting that would handle subtitles, so now I'm paranoid about there being cut-scenes, or minor conversations or anything without subtitles.

Torchlight 1 was "Hey, we're kinda like a mini-Diablo 2, remember the good old days?" before Diablo 3 was out. Torchlight 2 was "Diablo 3 is kinda bad, huh? Here's us doing the traditional D2 thing again" and it worked very well. Since then better games have entered the picture (Path of Exile, Grim Dawn) and Torchlight 3 doesn't seem like it has anything meaningful to add to the genre.

There are a handful of animated cutscenes that didn't have subtitles on Vita; no idea if that's been changed for PC.

Persona usually has a fantastic dub cast. Just go with that.

Persona 4 romance is like 90% wholesome teen infatuation and 10% fixing the predatory nurse sex pest so I don't know I'd give it the full bill of health for anyone allergic to anime.

It has a good dub, I say just go with English. But there is an option to turn subtitles in the anime cutscenes now. I think it's under audio, maybe? Otherwise, all the scenes with talking have regular ol' text boxes, so you wouldn't need separate subs anyway.

Cinara posted:If you read through them, a lot of the reviews are due to it being online only and having extremely bad server issues since launch. But even then the game just doesn't look great and some of the more in depth reviews cover the lack of content available right now. It seems very dumbed down even by Torchlight standards, there's not a lot of character customization or depth to any of the systems and that seems intended. Ouch.

Finished Doom: Eternal finally after at least a month of putting it off. Final boss is good, 2nd final boss is good, game overall is pretty sweet. The game does innovate a little bit too much though, and this may actually why the game is so polarizing. Some hate it, others love it. I, for one, cannot imagine playing a Doom game after this without the dashes. XCOM: Chimera Squad very much feels like an XCOM-lite, with matching low budget & all. Sure, the moment to moment XCOM gameplay is there, but overall the game feels very plain overall. I'm probably going to push through the 1st "investigation result" mission & if the game still doesn't grab me, I'm probably just going to throw it back into the backlog. Gears Tactics on the other hand, feels incredibly flashy & Gears-like. Every finisher is incredibly gory & detailed, every gunshot is loud & good, basically it's almost like a Diablo 3 tactics game, if that makes sense. Still, the lootboxes concept is strange, and the fact that I should actually end my turns multiple times just to reset all the CD's before proceeding to the next engagement feels off-putting a bit, especially with the absolutely no way of manual saving in game. Even now I think of that 1 lootbox I left behind because I accidentally killed off the last enemy by overwatch. Troubleshooter however, took the crown for now. The graphics are not as good as Gears Tactics & even XCOM: Chimera Squad sometimes, the animation is a little bit stilty even, but the gameplay. The customization. drat this is game seems super good so far. Translation is a little bit wonky, but workable. Plus the dev seems to update the game very frequently, so that felt good. On mobile, it's Legends of Runeterra as always. Strangely I haven't burnt out yet on the game even when I've been playing it religiously for the last month or so. Plus I haven't even delved into the Constructed part yet, just content with playing Expedition all day every day. I'm probably going to start dipping my toes into Constructed soon though, since I'm going to max out on my region levels now - only 2 left, and the XP is going to be slightly less exciting once they're maxed out.

Oldstench posted:Been really zenning out on shapez.io recently. It's like a chill-rear end version of Factorio. Instead of turning oil into petroleum into rocket fuel or whatever, you turn grey circles and squares into other shapes. Then you add color. Then you start stacking. Then you start optimizing. It's great fun. i sigh as i unsheathe my credit card

I borrowed P4 on PS2 from a friend and put maybe 15 hours into it before Golden was announced, I put the original aside thinking I'd get to Golden one day and now I have I am very disappointed they changed the theme song

So, I kept hearing about how great Sleeping Dogs was. And how everyone is so hyped about the sequel. Well, I bought it, started it up. It feels like, well, it's basically Grand Theft Auto in Hong Kong. It feels more like those True Crime: Streets of _____ games from the 2000s, and I think it's probably by the same people? Well, it's fun. I mean, it's like... not bad. But wow, I don't really... understand why everyone is so excited about a sequel. Don't get me wrong, this is a fine game, it's made well enough, and it's a lot of fun. But it's nothing groundbreaking. So I don't get it. Today I saw some ad or something about the sequel and realized Sleeping Dogs isn't the game I was thinking of. It was Watchdogs. Well. credburn fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Jun 15, 2020 |

Sleeping Dogs is the game everyone goes nuts about. Also, it was Tue Crime game in development until they decided to change the name. Watch_Dogs 1 is garbage, mediocre at best. Watch_Dogs 2 is actually a great game.

Sleeping Dogs definitely left a lot to be desired, but it was also a sign of greater things to come. We would probably have a strong rival to the GTA franchise by now if they didn't force the devs to do an online shooter or whatever the hell they were making. Square should focus less on their foreign devs and more on their own games, such as the lacklustre ports of their classic franchise.

Lots of people didn't like or didn't care about GTA4, i'm one of them, and 2 years after it was released appeared Sleeping Dogs that was similar to the older GTAs. It wasn't perfect but for a lot people it was more fun than GTA4 and Blattdorf posted:Sleeping Dogs definitely left a lot to be desired, but it was also a sign of greater things to come.

Veotax posted:Watch_Dogs 1 is garbage, mediocre at best. Watch_Dogs 2 is actually a great game. Seriously, I can't stress enough just how utterly bland and unappealing WD1 is. I played WD2 first and really enjoyed it, figured people must have been overstating how bad WD1 was and picked it up for free on I think a Ubisoft giveaway and I felt like I got ripped off somehow.

I thought we stopped doing this? I think I might enjoy an indie Big Pharma without all the "you're part of the pharmaceutical industrial complex and that's so cool!" bullshit, and would like to know the name of the thing I'm buying next so that I may purchase it. edit: I'm an rear end in a top hat who didn't scroll up, sorry. it's shapez.io, and that screenshot sold me on it better than the earlier description did, so thanks! Also, everyone and everything is saying it's a knockoff Factorio (which is very good if you like these sorts of things and somehow haven't gotten it yet), but the splitters and combinators make me think of Big Pharma instead. I guess my brain is just not on yet this morning. Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jun 15, 2020 |
