I think Galaxy 2 has the motion controlled bird levels that led to me literally throwing my controller against a wall. Also, Oddysey is literally restoring my entire faith in the gaming industry. I just fell asleep at work because I pulled an all-niter once I got to New Donk City. I haven't done that in years

As someone who doesn't care at all about Animal Crossing and only stays up to date because I was going to do a console swap with someone but then they started playing AC the day before I got the limited edition Switch to swap with them, does the Halloween update have anytime save transfers yet or do you still have to pretend your old Switch is lost and contact NoA, and if you have to pretend your old Switch is lost, does it do anything in terms of blacklisting the old Switch as far as AC goes?

Quick trip report: Left/Right sides of the screen show unit information, mini-maps, tips. At the game start it seems you can adjust in game values like rate of earning money There's a new tutorial system which so far seems good.

Huxley posted:I think there's a "Hell Mode" you have to choose from the start of a new file that turns the option off, but for just enjoying the game and postgame, all it does it put a little icon on your clear screen. Hell Mode does a few other things that don't really become hellish until you're far enough in your save file that you feel committed -- went from max health to nothin' in about 2 seconds on the last boss because you don't get a grace period upon receiving heavy damage, which I didn't notice 'cause it doesn't matter so much until you get to things like the last boss. Got goodin' to get.

I’m starting to think Hades is a roguelite for people who don’t like roguelites. Well, okay, that’s unfair: it’s a roguelite for people who don’t like arcade-style progression (the random loot/run variety side of the game is indeed excellent.) You’re always getting stronger, the weapons and abilities feel good to use, and the story is compelling, but the game isn’t designed to be beaten on its first run. When I die, I think “I can’t wait to unlock xyz” or “it’ll be fun to see what the NPCs say now”—I don’t think “if only I had played better.” The game has something for everyone, and it’s a much richer game than something like Crypt of the Necrodancer or One Step From Eden, but I do think something important is lost in the trade.

zenintrude posted:Don’t know if anyone is checking this thread for this, but the AC SE Switch is back up at GameStop: I paid a non-trivial markup to buy one of these on eBay back in March/April, and am feeling a little bit salty that it is one of the very few special edition Nintendo systems to ever get a reprint/reissue. Cool that more people will get to have a nice looking console but why did Nintendo have to wait 6 months to make/announce these?

SeANMcBAY posted:Everyone buy this excellent M2 port. Why did I think it was a helicopter SHMUP? RTS sounds way cooler. Samurai Sanders posted:I have almost no memory of 8's story. They live in a floating combat high school because of anime and there's a space witch or something? I dunno. The premise of teenage-soldiers is sound. Squall being an aloof emo is fine especially since they try to make him open up as his arc. Laguna & Co. are terrific and the very best characters in the game. I stand by it being the singly best scored FF8 with music matching its set pieces perfectly, something that 6 did also very well, but 7 didn't even if 7 probably has a stronger soundtrack. 9 has good music but it doesn't hit the highs of the others in my opinion. Everything else is terrible. None of the characters get an arc, unlike 6,7, or 9 or their arcs are incomprehensible like Rinoa's. Selphie is only good because she's not angsty and just wants to have a good time. Zell's constantly trying to compensate, Quistis makes no sense as a character (completely pro teacher but only a year older and in love with Squall but not really?) and she's criminally under-used despite that, Irvine has zero reason to be in the game or to stick with party. Seifer's an ok villain though. Seifer is definitely better than Kuja. But the two dumbest things are realizing they all grew up together but forget it because GF bullshit a plot point that you'd think serves a purpose but is just used to force sympathy and create relationships that other games in the series actually construct as you play, and Edea wanting to compress time into a single point for some reason essentially a time-travel plot that is undoubtedly the most mishandled in the history of those. And the forced romance between Squall and Rinoa. It almost makes sense but then you think about it and it's ridiculous. It's even sillier considering FF7 already had a love triangle that was deftly handled, and 8 could've attempted something like that giving the cast of characters an actual purpose. But nope. That said I agree with the poster who said the mechanics are really interesting. Broken as poo poo, but really interesting and they really blur the line between broken as poo poo and working as intended.

The following URL https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/switch/consoles shows nothing but the below image: Truly, the cruelest of jests. Edit: Looks like it was just a temporary hiccup, perhaps a side-effect of the system dying under load. Did manage to order a Gamestop AC Switch bundle. Or at least get to the order confirmation page, which ought to be authoritative. Hammer Bro. fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Sep 25, 2020 |

Araxxor posted:While there are hidden stars, their existence is known to the player by a question mark above the relevant star, and it's not something that gets pulled out often like every major level in Sunshine having 2 hidden Shine Sprites. They also tend to be fairly obvious things like NPC-initiated minigames or alternate paths opened by hungry lumas.

Motto posted:They also tend to be fairly obvious things like NPC-initiated minigames or alternate paths opened by hungry lumas. One of the hidden stars in the boo mansion level is found by hitting a rock that so obviously says "hit me" because it's glowing and right in the way of where you are supposed to go. I actually thought it was the main mission when I first did it because it seemed so obvious

Weedle posted:i got a good deal on the powera switch messenger bag which includes a (pretty basic) hard-shell case if i just want to tote the switch around by itself. the whole package was pretty sweet when going to other people's houses to game was a thing i did I have this and it's pretty nice. The internal bits are pretty secure but can also be detached to use the bag for other things besides the Switch, or to make room for controllers etc.

I'm almost anxious to start Hades with all the praise its getting in this thread  , I'm gonna start it after work tonight, hope I love it! Bastion was really cool but it didn't have enough substance to really make me fall for it, Transistor was quirky and different and made me feel like a dumbass, I didn't play Pyre but it looked interesting and I loved the idea and should probably give it a shot.

The only case anyone should be using for their Switch or Switch Lite is the Satisfye case because you should all be using their grip.

I bought Paradise Killer and boy is there a lot to explore on this island. I haven't really been tempted to use the fast travel though, because it seems like it takes currency to use and the currency seems limited and better spent elsewhere? If it really is limited, I really would have preferred that only unlocking the fast travel points took money, and not also using them.

The most important uses will be the footbaths which unlock new abilities and info you can buy from a couple characters. After a while though you’ll have an excess and it should be more than enough to let you fast travel as much as you need.

The Ages version of Phantasy Star 1 is great and I wish they they made one for PS 2. I think I might have to find a way to hack that game to improve the exp and meseta gain. Those things go a long way to making the original feel decent. I will say that it does make the difficulty a lot easier though. You can overpower yourself easily.
