I was extremely disappointed that a Triple Triad only playthrough wasn't possible--the way I'd understood it when it first came out, by "you can challenge anyone to Triple Triad" I thought it meant all bosses would give you the option to have a dramatic card battle instead of a fight.

Triple Triad alone is better than any whole game in the FF series imo except for 8, because it includes Triple Triad as part of it.

I suspect I would enjoy the super-tough-bosses aspect but I don't wanna have to be on high alert all the time with all the regular encounters. Someone needs to make the Boss Battles Only JRPG. edit: Xenogears Disc 2 was glorious.

I don't think it's possible to spoil final fantasy 8, everything just comes out of nowhere with no build-up. Laguna is Squall's dad. That should be a big spoiler but it doesn't effect the story in any way

This probably won't interest most of you, but if you own a Drageus game, you can get most of their library for 99% off, which means there's some decent games for pennies. I've played several of their puzzle games, which are fine. Archaica has pretty solid production values and is a fun light beam puzzler. Mushroom Quest is a capable Sokoban clone (though the last puzzle gave me fits since it involved something unintuitive, don't really remember the details though). Girabox is a decent rotation-based puzzler, and Island Maze is neat though a lot more difficult for the rest. They've got a variety of other games as well. For dirt cheap indie games you can do worse. e: URL embedding doesn't seem to work well when the URL has brackets, so here's the link, sorry that you have to copy and paste: https://www.dekudeals.com/games?filter[publisher]=Drageus+Games Mega64 fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jan 7, 2022 |

WHY BONER NOW posted:Do you guys suppose the metroid prime remaster will have the same engine as mp4 I'm fine with straight ports, but if we're doing fantasy upgrades, 1080p Metroid Prime with dual analog controls instead of snap targeting would be awesome. Like the snap targeting was fine with GameCube controllers being designed for babies and the right analog stick being a weird half step between the N64 C-controls and the PS2 dual sticks. But it's been 20 years. The whole planet uses dual sticks and triggers now. An update would be great.

I love the Earthbound aesthetic, though i understand it plays nothing like it, but if it's a good game then I'm interested. It's fine, I guess? It has some charming characters and some fun plot points. The combat is passable, you won't be doing very much of it though, it's much more like a JRPG in that there's a lot of talking. Also in my opinion the story (which had been really good up to that point) falls off a loving cliff in chapter 6 and never recovers. But it isn't a bad game.

Thanks for the puzzle game suggestions, I’ve whittled the list of games down to (not exclusively puzzlers): Goose game Katamari Tetris Effect Mr Driller Bug Fables Obra Dinn Babe is You Pikuniku Ace attorney Trilogy (I’m assuming I should pick this and not Chronicles?) And games for me: Fell Seal Terraria Bloodstained Curse of the Moon I am now mired in indecision.

It got so much buzz and was quite the indie darling, and I think that helped a lot of the issues get glossed over. I kept playing it waiting to see if the gameplay got more fun, and then waiting to see if the story was going to pay off, and neither of those things happened for me. It sets things up like there is going to be a pretty meaningful and deep story going on, but it never sees it through.

Yeah, the Ace Attorney Trilogy and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles are quite separate from each other. Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a prequel in the same universe with Ace Attorney's great-grandfather, but it has no connection to what happens in the modern-day Ace Attorney series other than a few cameos. They're both extremely good and worth playing.

One minute too slow!!Wildtortilla posted:Thanks for the puzzle game suggestions, I’ve whittled the list of games down to (not exclusively puzzlers): Goose Game is a delight and a riot to watch or play. Your partner will enjoy the antics you get into and can join if she feels so inclined. On your end you can do some challenge runs, and they do get challenging as they're essentially speed runs. Bad point? It's very short. You'll enjoy your time, but it isn't a long game, some 3 hours or so tops. Katamari is tons of fun, but I don't know how much fun your partner would have watching you/directing you. Stages can run some time, and while there is the spectacle of getting a bigger Katamari the controls are finicky so trying to order you to go left or right may be tough. Still I think it's doable and it's quite the experience. Not a particularly long game but good for what you do. Probably some 5 hours or so. I don't remember. Tetris Effect is AMAZING. Just the best Tetris game. Still as much as I love Tetris I've never seen it as super fun to watch. Tetris Effect certainly is fun to watch, but it's more fun to listen to but the reason it works is because you're making the music. If they're not doing that just watching may not be as fun. It does have multiplayer modes, but that may feel rather asymmetrical in the end. Mr Driller is another great little puzzler with several different variants of the same general activity. Difficulty levels unlock the further you go. I believe the multiplayer is competitive in nature. It may not be the most interesting thing to watch, but there's one mode the Drindy Adventure that allows for someone to suss out the puzzle with you. It's not a Tetris-killer but it's neat. Obra Dinn is incredible. Watch a trailer to see if you can deal with the graphics, some people claim it causes some problems, but otherwise you want to go in as blind as possible. It's more than possible to co-op it as you want as many eyes on it as possible. The whole production is just top-notch. Not terribly long, and you'll want more, but you'll understand why it's limited. Probably good for 5 hours. Baba is You is a weird puzzler but it can be very addicting. It has tons of content and it can get very tricky. I've never finished it but I feel like I got pretty respectably far and probably would've beaten more stages if I wasn't so stubborn about doing them in order. It got user generated content recently so think of it as Mario Maker for functions. It may not seem as intuitive as a co-op game but it can certainly work, though eventually you may get to some puzzles whose win conditions require very direct movement or repetitive actions which may not be as interesting. Pikuniku is a short irreverent platformer adventurer. It's got plenty of dialogue, and I find reading together isn't a great activity. It's cute and fun for the price, but I wouldn't put it on the same level as some of your other choices. Ace Attorney- I don't know about either collection but I played the originals. Very text heavy and they can fall into pixel hunts to some degree. I feel like a 2nd viewer may get bored if you go too slow or too fast. As satisfying as the trials can be, and they are, they're also not as intuitive as you'd like and they're scripting results in reveals at specific moments, when you'd you could reveal something sooner. I know that makes little sense, but people who've played Phoenix Wright games probably know what I'm talking about. So for the two of you I would definitely get Goose Game, Obra Dinn, Baba, and Katamari, in that order. I don't know what your budget is or what the prices are but you'll get seriously good mileage out of the first two there. As for you I can only speak for Fell Seal, but if it's strategy you want you can't go wrong. However, Triangle Strategy comes out in about a month, and the demo was arguably better than anything I saw in Fell Seal featuring rather interesting and unique classes and moves. Fell Seal having a job system is very cool, but also features so many options you don't use them all or you gun for the "best" ones. It's the reason I enjoyed older Fire Emblem games. You're options are limited but it means things are more fine-tuned.

Speaking as someone who has a high tolerance for anime bullshit, does anyone know anything about Demon Gaze? The description talks about the MC being able to control demons and the screenshots make it look like a turn based JRPG, so it sort of looks like SMT But Even More Anime. Which I'd kind of be into, as long as it's halfway decent.

100YrsofAttitude posted:One minute too slow!! Holy smokes thanks a bunch! We bought Baba on her Switch cause she had some funds sloshing around. I have some on mine too, so I may still get Goose Game and/or Katamari. There’s something about Obra Dinn that just is off putting to me. It’s not the graphics, I think I don’t want to solve a mystery. I’d much rather play a puzzler like Baba than have to think about things like it seems I’d have to in Obra Dinn. We’re in this situation cause we both got slammed with Covid this past week and my wife’s recovery is very slow going. We’re bored of TV and movies and want to play a game that she can watch and contribute to. She can’t use her muscles very well but she is smart as hell with word puzzles, so Baba seems like a no brainer for us.
