When is the last time you put a quarter / token on an arcade cabinet to show you had next? For me, I was probably 16/17 years old and stepped up to a Killer Instinct cabinet at Fiesta Texas (theme park). Two older guys were playing and I proceeded to wipe the floor with them both a couple times each. I had been playing a ton of B Orchid at home on the SNES and was in top fighting shape. Felt good man.

I don't think I've ever put a quarter in an arcade machine. As a kid it was places with tokens and mostly ticket games and since its been point cards or just charging a door fee for machines set to free play.

FF14: I just finished a cool interlude in the MSQ where you're sent to a village and find out someone is colluding with the enemy and over the course of a few quests you're presernted with a few suspects, follow some red herrings until finally exposing the culprit (who turned out to be the racist dude I met earlier!). I know people have said that ARR is mostly a bunch of unconnected vignettes so if they means little stories like this with your Scion buds around as a framing device then I'm very down. Also er, I think I'm gonna have to fight Ifrit soon  In other news the Gladiator's Guild finally got interesting cause it turns out the whole storyline is just messy Love Island drama and I live for messy Love Island drama. And Cocobusi is very much not ok  I won my first chocobo race

Managed to take out DeRosa in Bravely Default, but by god it was tedious. Ended up in a fight in the ocean afterwards and got my rear end handed to me in a random encounter. Maybe I'm underleveled? I put the game down to Easy because I just want to have fun and enjoy the story drat it. Also I'm playing Conquest with the Hoshido Recruitment Mod and drat is this kind of weird. A lot of the meta completely gets rewritten and it's very much uncharted territory here.

I looked at all of my unplayed games again and decided to boot up void bastards. It's a ton more forgiving than normal roguelikes: you keep literally everything including items on death, so anything you earn or pick up (I think?) gets carried over, as well as all permanent upgrades. It's pretty fun so far!

Looper posted:as someone who easily gets stressed out and flustered playing online multiplayer, I'm glad ff14 keeps the training wheels on to be clear, I have no issue with the dungeons being this way. Savage stuff is right there (and a real blast if you can find a consistent static that you gel with. Less so if you have to do PF, but some people seem to like that anyways and make it work). It's just kind of important, I think, to set expectations for why playing a healer seems to be so intensely boring in other content. Which is because it has to be by design. People can develop a lot of weird and misguided notions of how healers "should" be or how content should be designed based around only experiencing dungeon content as a healer.

Last Celebration posted:How’s that play? Hoshido has so many weird/mediocre units compared to Conquest, it feels real easy to end up with a bunch of losers at endgame. Right now I'm about to do Chapter 10 and it almost plays like a different game. The levels and bases of several characters have been altered so it's just not a 1-1 swap. Sakura and her retainers replace Elise's group, Hinata and Oboro join in 8 and you get Hayato in 9. Oboro and Hinata have their levels lowered to 8 but their bases are untouched and they have D weapon ranks with iron Hoshidan weapons, so Hinata is actually slightly better than Hana at an equal level. Also Hinoka starts promoted with an enemy only Nagayari locked to her inventory. It's weird. I doubt you could lock yourself into a losing situation because Silas still exists and Ryoma and Rajinto can still solo the game. poo poo, you get Scarlet instead of Gunter!

Finished Apollo Justice. That was definitely an ending. Feels like there was absolutely no reason for things to happen the way they did. Also the timeline poo poo is weird since there are things Phoenix can't solve in the past without knowing what they are in a present. Just some odd inconsistencies that worsened the experience IMO. So much of the game didn't have to happen. If Zak had just given Phoenix the original paper then this could have all been avoided. Honestly, so much of the game's story had me thinking "ok, so what?" like, why does this matter, and why does the jurist system only matter once I get to an arbitrary point where the game brings it up? The Judge ignores it when you mess up and just gives a guilty verdict and idk how else to put it other than just "meh." I know there were complaints about Apollo basically being second fiddle in his own game to Phoenix's machinations but worse than that IMO is that we don't even know what Phoenix is doing until the very end and what he ends up doing either doesn't make sense logically or felt like it was mystery for mystery's sake. So yeah I guess my review on the plot itself is "meh/10" but Apollo is definitely good in spite of it. I have heard later games make better use of him so I look forward to that since I've got Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice on the 3DS from a recent sale. Idk how good either game is but I figure they were $5 each so probably worth it at that price. Jay Rust posted:idk I'm still gonna blame the devs for those I'm thinking about the really awful steam achievements for Ys 1 and 2 now. Each achievement has unique custom artwork relevant to the achievement. Ys 1 and 2 has you bumping into enemies to fight them. You can also learn information about enemies this way. Ys 1 has an escort mission in it where you escort a jailed woman back to her home and Ys 2 has an escort mission where you guide a little boy back to his home. There are achievements tied to "measuring" both of them and an extra one for being invisible while "measuring" the woman. Way to go Ys 1 & 2 for managing to have the creepiest/worst achievements I can think of while being a game I actually like.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:lol the story mode of DNF Duel is real pointless. I guess maybe it would have more meaning to DNF players? What's the story mode? DNF has a bonkers story that more or less amounts to an incredibly powerful magical immortal lady is super angry about the destruction of Earth and is trying to bring it back through the deaths of other powerful immortals. The immortals are all attracted to the last remaining fragment of Earth, a large space rock containing the remains of New York City, and this space rock has generally drifted through the universe picking up hitchhiking immortals by accident, with its current location being the two interconnected worlds of Arad, a land of magic of swords and sorcery, and Empyrean, an empire of machinery. e: There's more to it, like Arad's pugilistic empire, the holy church, the evil royal capital that's always starting poo poo, the northern mountain tribes, and the dark elves, while Empyrean's dealing with its mainland spats between the criminal outskirts that are run by the kartel, the royal empyrean city and its military, the various seafolk pirates attacking the Empyrean sea train, and the Empyrean navy that's been trying to fight off and defend their power plants from an immortal that keeps feeding on the generated power. That's not even getting into the dragon king who used to be a tyrannical ruler over Empyrean and whose tower currently connects Arad to Empyrean, the giant whale whose body is home to a temple worshipping it and whose worshippers are dealing with an immortal psychic octopus who is basically clinging to the whale for dear life and going "why am I on a giant whale wtf I just want to be in the ocean where the gently caress am I," the numerous rifts in spacetime leading to parallel dimensions, the tower that is a rocket belonging to some survivors of Earth who are trying to stop the recreation of Earth because it'd cause a whole fuckton of issues involving the extinction of almost everyone else, the tower connecting Empyrean to New York that is managed by the immortal inventor who built a whole fuckton of robots, and the magical society of New York which is populated by gangs of undying mages from the Bronx, the various mages of Brooklyn and Central Park who were sent out to protect New York, and the massive population of furries that spawned as a result of all of the magic that infected New York after Earth exploded so now all the furries are running their own gangs in the streets, the forests leading into central park, the desert ruins outside, and even running the various casinos and hotels that are also dungeons for whatever reason (the reason is because it's cool) I don't know if the plot has actually progressed from there since Dungeon Fighter had a tendency to just do stuff like "hey, all the plot from before doesn't matter now and is now in a parallel universe, let's reboot the plot" FirstAidKite fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Jul 4, 2022 |

the story mode of DNF duel involves your chosen character fighting a series of other adventurers collecting "Will" and activating portals which are called Wonders and eventually you end up in the Gate which is like the center of the fragmented universe or something and a nice angel lady says thank you for the Will i'm not going to use it to do what i told you earlier, i'm going to summon "Him" which i can only assume refers to God or something, but she actually ends up summoning the Lost Warrior, who is apparently an NPC from a very old DFO quest, and has bullshit teleportation magic. he kills the angel, then you beat him and he disintegrates and the Will goes out and spreads through the Wonders and nothing more is explained, go beat people up with the boss character you just unlocked the wonder has called upon new seeds

First though, lemme ask this. Was the angel named Hilder? If so, yeah this is all what that means. Hilder has been wanting to revive her home of New York through the manipulation of the dungeon fighters into killing the other apostles. She's also doing this to try and summon a specific apostle she digs and wants to hang out with and I think maybe doesn't need to kill but I don't remember, not sure, but their name is Cain. Lost Warrior is an aspect of another being called Carloso. Carloso basically is the reason the world is the way it is. Idk the specifics but essentially he is like a deity who was split up into several several several different versions of himself splintered and scattered across all of reality and its many parallel dimensions, universes, timelines, etc. Every time a fragment meets another fragment, it basically nukes the surrounding area with reality-bending magic that can do things like rip holes in spacetime, alter timelines, rearrange the world, just outright remake the place, and so on and so forth.

Kerrzhe posted:no, her name is Nemyr. Oh poo poo. In that case uhhh She succeeded at what she wanted to do. She's a deity who has been chasing down the various splinters of Carloso and she did so by creating versions of herself in every timeline and universe in the form of the Knight class. Carloso is the will so the Lost Warrior is just another part of the will and beating him up probably just means he has been absorbed into the greater Carloso force. I'm sure Nemyr will be fine. Nobody seems to stay dead for long in DFO before the creators decide to reboot the universe again or adding in another dimensional vortex to let in everyone's favorite dead characters.
