I'm going to give Royal a go after 13 Sentinels, which is very good by the way I'm not sure if anyone knew.

In case anyone still hasn’t played either of these games both went on sale at GameStop for $30 just now

Been killing it in Shadowverse recently

I came back because of a really cool limited format they had up temporarily, and decided to check out if my favorite deck was good again, and it turns out it is

My relation with this game is really weird. I basically only ever play one deck (aggro/midrange spellboost) which has had a dozen or more incarnations since the near-launch time I started playing. The details change, the cards change, and the matchups change, but the overall plan and strategy and fundamental math of the deck never does, so I just have hundreds of hours of experience in the core strategy to rely on whenever I come out of hibernation. My plan for how to deal with the deck being bad is basically to just stop playing the game until it's good again

Hey, I don't blame you, spellboost is just a really fun mechanic to play around with and often requires specific play orders to get your cards exactly where they need to be. Granted, I'm a filthy control/D-shift player but a lot of principles are the same.

The only other deck I really messed around with was Havencraft aggro and that was a ton of fun for pretty similar reasons. Messing around with your amulets to summon strong monsters way earlier than you should be able to was a great feeling.

I'm just not super into card games but I really liked Shadowverse when I played it during basketball games I had to watch. The one other person I know who plays it has a bazillion hours in it and plays Dragon to Master every single patch, to the point where he now has an entire top-tier deck full of animated cards. He's streamed it for like, at least three hours every day for the last four years or something

I mostly just like that games are over in five minutes so when I get a poo poo hand I don't have to worry about being stuck there for ages trying to claw my way out of it. Plus, as I said, the spellboost mechanic just really really speaks to me

I'm slowly working my way through the Yakuza games starting from Yakuza 0 and I've just finished up Yakuza 3. Definitely some annoyances here and there that come from it being a much older game in the series with what feels like a comparatively minor facelift but I actually think this has been my second favourite story behind 0. I actually really love the large amount of downtime the game enforces on you where you just hang out with the Morning Glory orphanage kids and parent the hell out of them with Haruka. While there's the usually crazy story twists and turns featuring secret CIA operative brother of a dead character who looks exactly like them and muscular men rigorously comparing their life philosophies via fisticuffs, it somehow felt a little more grounded than what I felt was the over the top nature of Kiwami 2. Also RIP to absolute best character Rikiya, too pure and good for this world :(

I need to play a few other games before jumping into Yakuza 4 as I find if I just try and jump straight into the next game in the series I get quickly fatigued.

Games In Progress:

Morrowind
Dragon Quest XI
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Loop Hero

Everything about the BatB squadron's gimmick is just the dumbest poo poo (this isn't spoilers rarity because that stuff was in ads/trailers setting those up as the game's foxhound/black chamber/dead cell/cobra unit equivalent)

quote:

During development of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Hideo Kojima wanted the Beauty and the Beast Unit to be naked during cutscenes, though this would have severely affected the game's censorship rating. Yoji Shinkawa stated that the motion capture actors were asked to do the motion capture nude, though this could also not be used in the game.[5] Instead of being naked, the BB members wear form-fitting catsuits, which shows off their figure.
As taken from the Metal Gear Solid wiki. So much for Kojima not being a weird sex creep, huh?

I don't think anyone ever thought Kojima isn't a weird sex creep, considering his body of work.

You can see the reasoning though. The BatB squad is people who have been turned into weapons by the trauma of their past. When Snake defeats them they are stripped of their pain and become human again. Free from the trauma of their past they know only love.

I actually think if they were nude that idea would be communicated a little better, because the compromise bodysuits are so inherently fetishy.

Well, all I can say to that is that I doubt he'd have asked any of them to get naked if they had been men. Fetish is probably the point here.

The fact they sexy pose if you take out a camera is just another eugghhh mark on them.

not many big character centric, action rpgs, where you get to at least choose your gender, are there? last gen there was one dragon age, one mass effect, i'd count ac odyssey/valhalla, and cyberpunk? anything obvious i'm overlooking?

Nobody else was really trying to do Mass Effect even during the time of Mass Effect. Everyone wanted big open world games and tried to avoid linked series where your choices carried over as much as possible.
