Well I just finished Blasphemous for the first time going through blind. I don't think I've cleared a metroidvania without touching a guide once during my first playthrough since Super Metroid when I was a kid. When I finished Super Metroid the first time I didn't find the Spring Ball. Similarly with Blasphemous I beat it without finding whatever will let you interact with the tree root patches. I'm pretty sure I missed a sizeable chunk of this game. Now I'm off to find what I missed! Edit: 81.21% on my file! Is this game's clear percentage 100% or a higher value?

No, normal blocks were just normal ones. The ones that gave you power ups or coins were the transformed ones, and that was how they rewarded you for freeing them. (Ah, excuse plots.)

I have a Game Voucher to burn, thought I'd make investment for the future and get a thousand-hour JRPG. Preferably something I can play mostly handheld and in short bursts every now and then. Xenoblade Chronicles, Dragon Quest XI, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, or something else?

If you don't buy Dragon Quest XI, you are stupid. I know, that's insulting, but it's also the truth.

I got Blasphemous because of the gushing in this thread and I think I'm done before the 2 hour mark. Compared to Dark Souls, dying all the time was still fun and made me laugh, dying in this game just makes me angry. I can't imagine how bad the platforming was before the updates. Compared to Dead Cells or Hollow Knight, I feel like a sloth. Google is telling me that upgrades aren't going to change that very much. Kinda makes me wish that more games would follow Celeste's difficulty options, because I really like the look and mood of it.

I played the DQ11 demo all the way to the end and I really liked it but for some reason never pulled the trigger on the full game. I keep waiting for it to go on sale and it’s never on sale.

Dragon Quest XI is how you keep classic JRPGs alive in the modern era. But I can 100% see why people could find it boring. I did a lot of the side stuff in part 1 and 2. But couldn't be assed to do the side end-game stuff. They could do a little to spice up and/or speed up combat. But the ability to make some characters auto-battle helps it along a bit.

I mean there are more JRPGs now than any time in the 90s. That fact DQ is still alive while being functionally the same is low key incredible

Persona/SMT imo have really figured out how to make good turn based combat that is engaging during battle and in the setup phase fusing demons Final Fantasy gave up on turn based. They’re action RPGs now and that’s fine DQ is like, literally the same battle system forever which honestly is admirable in some way

Compared to Dark Souls, dying all the time was still fun and made me laugh, dying in this game just makes me angry. I can't imagine how bad the platforming was before the updates. I enjoyed Blasphemous more than Hollow Knight. The deaths in this game are fine. There's really no risk of losing progress and you shouldn't ever be far from your Guilt unless you're not checking in at shrines as you find them. The longest run to a boss is roughly 10 seconds and that's only while you wait for an elevator to get you while you're 100% safe. Of all the games that make you drop something on death Blasphemous is quite benign. All that happens is you lose some of your mama bar, which is rarely a required resource. Also you get a dash and dash attack that, while not the same as a movement speed increase, makes traversing the game much faster. Maybe you were tired or in a bad mood when you played it, cause when I first played the demo it was after a long dumb day of work and I was exhausted. I got really grumpy at the game and gave up on it, citing the same reasons you did. I'm glad I tried it again when I was in a better mood.

I'm not bored necessarily with Dragon's Dogma but I'm starting to kind of want it to finish. It's a good game!, but it's flaws are starting to weigh on me. The map design is really bad since you end up re-treading the same passages dozens of times with silly mookish enemies, and sure you can sprint through everything, but make sure you have enough stamina potions to make it through. Or you do use fast travel, which does end up trivializing a bit of the game as you just warp to objectives back and forth. The combat's the most fun thing in the game, and I wouldn't call it stale at all. I've maxed three of the vocations and just started sorcerer, after which I'll bounce over to something else, but the enemy types and AI isn't as varied as your fighting styles. The Quests, either are very obviously solved when given objective markers, or incomprehensible when you've got nothing to go on. I'm level 50, and just on the cusp of returning a ring to the Duke. Just how much more is there to do? I've given up doing every notice board quest as of a long time now, though I still do sidequests when I find them, which isn't often. I'll either finish when I've maxed out most of the vocations or when I've beaten the game.

I recommend wrapping up the main game. I forget how much more you have to go. And then dive into Bitter lack Isle. It's a huge dungeon diving experience that is super good.

I tried to play one of the danganropa games. Folks seem to agree that they're "well-written" but keep in mind that's "for anime" and/or "for a video game." They're still coming in way below even generic genre fiction. If ya like it more power to you, of course. But I had my expectations out of whack

100YrsofAttitude posted:It didn't need re-kindling in my case but Breath of the Wild was the revolutionary game for me. Odyssey didn't do much for me, even if it's undeniably good, and I probably enjoyed 3D Land more, with my only complaint being it felt easy, which is understandable. I'm pretty confident I'll get all the Mario games coming out nonetheless, even if I'll admit I much prefer the 2D games (which is probably why I should just by NSMBU, but that... feels wrong). I got New Super Mario Bros U a couple months ago, and honestly I'm underwhelmed. The game is uninspired, to such an extent that even the secret coins aren't very surprising. Nintendo really needs to shake things up and do something ambitious instead.

Mario games since (3D World, Maker games, Odyssey) have certainly been much more inspired. I don’t think we’ll see another NSMB game.
