playing nier and not getting the other endings sounds like the most anticlimactic way to experience nier and i don't even particularly like how much you have to replay it

Marie was definitely super lame and annoying even as I was playing it And then her bonus dungeon is extremely unfun. P4G has a few nice QoL things but other than that all the new content is much worse than the base game and drags it down (not that I even liked P4 all that much to begin with)

I only played a little of P4 Golden so my only thoughts on Marie is that it was weird when a side character in FF7r apparently raided her wardrobe.

that would be because they didn't invent the look for marie, they just borrowed it from fashion trends

I really liked Nier A's chapter-select since the format allows a plot that can shift the landscape or block-off areas, but since you can time-travel and keep your progress there is nothing technically missable. It strikes the balance between a ruthlessly linear JRPG, and a static open-world that never changes.

Commander Keene posted:Hell, having Baton Pass not locked behind Confidant progress and less of Morgana's incessant "you need to go to bed" already makes it one of the better mechanical upgrades (Golden introducing manual skill inheritance to the series will never NOT be the best though). When I first saw manual skill inheritance show up in devil survivor, I was so happy.

my only experience with marie was a bit of the p4g anime but she didn't really feel especially dumber or more obnoxious than any part of vanilla p4. the entire cast of the game can be described as pretty flat archetypes who occasionally get like five minutes of interesting writing

i liked marie just because it was funny how your entire squad coincidentally showed up every time you did one of her social link scenes, also she was inoffensive other than that shes pretty unnecessary to the game as a whole, but i mean maruki and kasumi are 100% unnecessary to persona 5 even if their content is the best stuff in the game so i won't hold that against her still got no idea where the hell they were going with Jose plot-wise though lmao

in sonic chronicles whenever you do any special attacks, you're prompted to do some action commands based on elite beat agents (the game is entirely touch screen). because these commands are not actually synced to any music, because they are fairly fast, and because missing even one input neuters the attack or causes it to miss outright (including healing moves!), i'm not terribly fond of the system. fortunately there's chaos, a kind of accessory you hatch from eggs found laying around the map. there are forty different chao abilities and, while the rarest type is called Unique, what you actually get when an egg hatches is completely random and you can get multiple of the same type. one of the Unique abilities allows the equipped character to ignore the action command system altogether, so now i have four of those chaos, along with cream the rabbit, who can top off everyone's otherwise very limited mp every turn

Marie's fine in the little details but Persona 4 did not have room for her in it's plot so she comes off like a weird fanfiction edit. she's simultaneously more special than everyone else and also completely irrelevant, and her presence innately comes at the expense of everything else going on. Yoshizawa and Maruki don't feel like that because they're segued in much better, but also because Persona 5 sucks so some higher quality storytelling is welcome.

Out of morbid curiosity I picked up Yo-kai watch 3 since I remember this series used to be like, huge. Almost rivaling pokemon (in japan at least..dunno how big it got here) and I..don't really get it. Obviously, I can tell exactly why kids like it but I know alot of older people were real into the games when they were more relevant and I'm just not really seeing it. Not very far though, maybe it gets better?

Not very far though, maybe it gets better? yokai watch came along when pokemon was sort of faltering - XY was almost certainly the least-well-received generation of pokemon games so far - and did really well at being a monster collecting game that wasn't pokemon. since all of pokemon's original competitors - digimon, monster rancher, dragon quest monsters, etc. - tapped out a long time ago, there was a lot of room in the market for it. i'm not sure that it was ever very popular with adults though. speaking of monster rancher, a bit of googling for this post revealed to me that monster rancher 1 & 2 got JP-only remasters on the switch with no plans at all for localization anywhere else. feels bad

Yokai Watch was one of Level 5's several failed attempts of game+anime and the grinding failure of 4 sealed their fate.

Amppelix posted:isn't it more like the one successful attempt that they then ran into the ground? Yeah, Yokai Watch basically did a speedrun on ballooning into an international phenomenon and collapsing into irrelevance. Mostly because it got oversaturated to hell. And then 4 was an unfinished technical nightmare where they tried to basically reboot it to be cooler with an ambitious new battle system and big open world stuff and it just completely bombed Zore fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Mar 12, 2021 |

Yokai Watch started out alright, and then very quickly went to meh. Trying to get 100% of the Yokai was an exercise in frustration from the word go, as well (Pandanoko!  )

It bombed horribly and turned people off even harder.

My wife is not really a big Gamer or anything but is always under the impression that Dark Cloud 3 is going to come out any day now. We know a guy who was applying for a low level job at Level-5 a while back and she kept saying to him you should ask them to make a new Dark Cloud.Relin posted:people rave about like, dark souls series' music but i can't pick any song apart. I think it's because outside of a handful of ambient tracks it only plays during boss fights and you are usually concentrating too much on fighting the boss to pay attention to the music. dmboogie posted:still got no idea where the hell they were going with Jose plot-wise though lmao I'm curious about this also, since I haven't played Royal and I guess he wasn't important enough to be in the main scenes of the added plot that I just watched on Youtube.

Just started Persona 4 Golden. I'm just 15 minutes in, but Heartbeat Heartbreak is great and it reminded me just how much I enjoyed P5's music. Hopefully we'll see P5R ported some day to PC. Also currently playing Disgaea 4, but I'm having some trouble getting into the mechanical side of it - I loved 5 but going back to the previous installment is proving to be a somewhat annoying experience. What do you mean I have to grind new characters all the way up from level 1??? At least I'm really enjoying the voice acting and humor so far.
