I'm excited for the Front Mission remake. It absolutely came out of left field during that direct. Can't wait to see my boy Roid and his puffy hair

If only the Genesis catalog can go the same route. Takoluka posted:were people saying that live a live is not worth full price or something People were outright mocking it. Unfortunately 2D games still have that "budget" taint attached to it.

i like the way healing works too. i liked hollow knight's system for letting you recover by engaging in combat and this one also does that in a different way.

Waffle! posted:Screenshot it and then never touch Invictus Mode, because that's where all the serious players are. That's what I did. I have a better win rate in invictus than in normal mode. I dont know that its true that all the serious players are there, if I get to the top 10 i can just play endurance and the other players lose to the speed of the blocks. To win normal mode you have to actually knock out the other top player, which can be harder. Also, while the players in invictus might be better, they are also more conservative and predictable, like they're all playing to not lose. In normal mode players can be much more aggressive, so sometimes I lose early to a kind of wild shot that doesnt happen in invictus. Also there are fewer players in invictus, so games rarely fill. And average invictus game is 29 other players and 69 bots, compared to 98 humans in tetris 99.

I also got it and I think it's very pretty and ok fun, but it loads very slowly and while I'm not one to usually mind such a thing, it does get to me a bit.

I'm playing through the Ezio collection and it would be real nice if they backported whatever control upgrades they did in later games to keep you from jumping off roofs and balconies all the time if you tilt the stick one second too long.

It was competing directly with Liberty City Stories on the PSP which looked better than the PS2 game, and it was on the DS, the preferred console of children and the elderly

I should've setup homebrew access on my 3DS ages ago, it's nice being able to directly install my physical games to it and not have dumb stuff like region locking be a thing to worry about.

I’m pretty there are thousands. It should just be felt or whatever fabric they use and Velcro, both of which are super easy to get in China.

"The game was released on the PSP a couple months later and was somehow an even bigger bomb. Failing to chart anywhere. The consensus, rightly or wrongly, became "2D GTA's don't sell".

blackguy32 posted:I feel like most people didn't care about GTA until it went 3D. But I did own Chinatown wars and felt like the best part about it was the drug stuff. GTA was a successful series before 3. It just reached insane new heights in the third entry due to entering the third dimension. Think of it like "The Witcher" series. The first two sold respectfully, but the third entry had the series become a titan of gaming.

Chinatown Wars was fun. It had everything it needed to have and it did the violence, the driving, and the silly story all rather well.

Argue posted:I can't believe Square committed to the title "Triangle Strategy" so hard that they made it an actual lyric in the opening theme Ugh really? I haven't tried the demo yet but it's such a dumb name. Octopath Traveller at least made some sense, this is just bland and dumb. --- Started Disco Elysium last night and Wooh boy, I am going to like this game. Please tell me that the beginning (I literally only just got Kim to follow me around) is not a high point and that it only gets better from here because I am up for it! I don't usually care for Voic-overs especially when I can read the dialogue faster, but much like Hades it's so good here I'm listening to every word. I already want to restart the beginning to try different options (I won't, but I know I'll do it one day). --- The Warlock of Firetop Mountain continues to be good and it is on sale to the 28th. It's fun but I guess you're encouraged to just constantly fight if you actually want to do anything, which is OK. The combat isn't anything clever but I think I would've enjoyed a bit more variety in options of activities. Still it's a charming little thing for 3 bucks. Unbelievable loading times though.

I love that the Octopath team at Square just takes the first name out of anyone's mouth after the pitch is made and runs with it, no matter how dumb it sounds.

Chinatown Wars IS on mobile (at least on the Google play store) and while I'm no fan of touch controls, it actually doesn't play that badly  I don't think there's controller support, though.

The problem is they say these names are temporary, then put out early demos, then decide not to change it due to demo association awareness. Should've picked better names before the reveal/demo.
