Butterfly Valley posted:I never really played Galaxy 2, but it’s spoken about highly itt. What makes it better than the first? Galaxy 2 cuts out a lot of the fluff that Galaxy had by (mostly) getting rid of the hub world stuff and just using a world map. On top of that, each world has less stars than a Galaxy level, meaning the levels have stronger theming so there's less stuff like "This is the water level but you're on moving platforms in the sky for this star." There's also Comet Medals, which reward exploration and doing difficult stunts more than "Here are some star bits/a 1-Up you don't need," and it has Yoshi, who's used in better ways than Sunshine.

Mega64 posted:Want a free gang tag? I've been playing A-Train for a month or so, and I made some scenarios to see what kind of crazy train layouts I could do. I made some extremely compact and efficient train interchanges that can handle OpenTTD levels of throughput, which is cool to a certain kind of person, I think. More universally, I went through a huge chunk of BotW just sniping enemies from a ludicrous distance. It was so much fun to set up ambushes in that game, rolling exploding barrels down hills and the like. It brought my favorite parts of Far Cry and Elder Scrolls together, in that respect. There's nothing like clearing out a whole moblin encampment without even getting spotted once. I really wish Dwarf Fortress was on the Switch, then I'd have some real stories!

Mega64 posted:Want a free gang tag?  The tattered post-it looking the way it does means I killed delirium on hard mode. That screenshot also shows I haven't unlocked the Holy Mantle start, and I didn't find it, 9 lives, etc. Since Delirium just kinda teleports on top of you sometimes, what this run did have going for it was that I just got lucky and that didn't happen, and I did the rest of the fight perfectly.

Well, I finally finished Dragon Quest 11 (for real this time). The rear end end of the game kind of soured me on the whole thing. It drags on just a smidge, but whatever I was having fun. Then I just started hitting a brick wall where the sidequest bosses and poo poo just did WAAAAAAAAAAY too much damage and were impossible for me to win against without a bunch of grinding. And some of it was just such supreme bullshit that I gave up and went and whacked the final boss just to have it over with. Only to fail once because the final boss has a mechanic that was mentioned to me dozens of hours ago but I had forgotten by the time I fought him. So yeah. I WAS having fun until the game decided to crank the bullshit dial up to 11. I feel like they could have condensed the latter bits of the game down. A lot.

When the credits role the the first time in Dragon Quest XI is when it’s best to stop playing the game. It’s an amazing game up until then. Everything afterwards is some lovely fan fiction.

japtor posted:Have you played Picross 3D? Mainly curious how it works compared to that. I vaguely recall starting with blocks and having to chip away so it doesn't sound too foreign, but can't really tell from the videos (seems more sparse?). it's a little different but the same basic idea. the most impactful difference is it indicates the exact number of gaps rather than using square or circle numbers. as a result the puzzles can and do get much bigger.

All jrpgs are better if you make a beeline for the final dungeon as soon as it becomes available Just ignore the sidequests. Don't go on item hunts, don't hunt down the secret boss, holy gently caress don't spend six hours breeding chocobos

I do pretty much all of the side hustles in JRPGs. As much of them as I can. I got the gold chocobo and killed the Weapons in Final Fantasy VII, I did all 100 floors of the roguelike dungeon in Lufia 2, I rebuilt the town in Xenoblade and killed the mountain dragon, I got Genis' solo battle arena weapon in Tales of Symphonia even though I had to grind him to level 230 to get it. I did it all and I have no regrets  The only thing I refuse to do is farm extremely rare drops like getting the Onion gear in Final Fantasy IV. gently caress that noise.

How's Mario Golf? is there enough variety of content to feel worth $60? Haven't bought a full price game in a good while aside from Monhun but video game golfing is pretty addictive and I can only replay Golf Story so many times.

Mak0rz posted:The only thing I refuse to do is farm extremely rare drops like getting the Onion gear in Final Fantasy IV. gently caress that noise. The Onion gear isn't even really that good in IV, the armor is outclassed by the Adamant Armor, the gloves are just total poo poo, and the helms are nice but the Ribbon is better honestly. Really you just need two Onion swords/shields for Kain and Cecil, which honestly don't take too long to get since Sirens will always put you in a battle with the dragons and the Treasure Hunter augment doubles drop chances. But yeah, as someone who got a complete set, nothing outside the swords and shields was worth it. The only JRPG sidequest I really regret doing was filling out the Sky Pirate's Den in FFXII. Getting a 12 Quickening chain is a loving nightmare, and having to beat multiple difficult to spawn enemies (gently caress you, Garif in Ozmone Plain!) was tedious. Also the Great Crystal is one of the worst dungeons ever put into a video game.

Is it enough of a spiritual successor to be a good follow up or is the formula different enough that I shouldn't blindly buy it? the offline stuff has enough longevity to last you a couple of plane rides for sure. the story mode is a little thin and the ai is kind of stupid but i can’t overstate how good the golf simulation itself is and it really carries the game despite its other deficiencies. once you get a grip on all the environmental factors that affect your shot and the tools it gives you to control it you can pull off insane precision shots that feel amazing. the motion controls are a whole other deal, way less precision but still allowing you a degree of aftertouch depending on how you, like, “scoop” your swing. idk. i am not a golfer but i love golf video games, and this is a good one. dying for more courses though. pls

cheetah7071 posted:I did it properly because I was handheld at the time and if you want to flip the surface over you have to flip the entire switch and not be able to see the screen I didn't do it properly because flipping the screen would have never occured to me. Instead I blindly assumed Nintendo wouldn't design a puzzle without taking handheld mode into account and wriggled around the boring way. Which took a while, but eventually worked, too.

I'm starting realize the appeal of a golf game versus a tennis game. Aside from the fact that Nintendo seems to invest more into Golf, maybe because it's such a popular sport in Japan, it also actually has a single player appeal since you're always able to best your score, per hole or per course. You can't do that in tennis, not really anyway, aside from a wall or something like. You need to have a decent AI to really make it work.
