Finished up the last main case in Dual Destinies, still gotta do the dlc case though. Turnabout for Tomorrow spoilers ahead. I could not take Fulbright being the villain seriously at all, which I guess was the whole point of his charade but just, idk, it didn't sit right with me. Felt kinda contrived and arbitrary.

Getting married sounds lame so Elden Ring has the upper hand here imo.

Help Im Alive posted:to think that a master of 3d picross and all the picross e games could be defeated by a mere 15x15 puzzle... I went through this writing up a whole bunch of poo poo on what to do next and then I got to a point where even that didn't work. My initial thought was to go try any square that has 2 finished sides, so the corners. By filling in those spots based on the assumption that those spots are correct, you can eventually hit a point where you have a contradiction. Then you can go back to that starting square and x it out. I was able to do this enough that I was able to mark down a lot of different squares and fill in a lot more but then I just kept hitting points in every possible area that gave impossible answers. I figured I must have done it wrong, just messed up somewhere, so I went to a couple different picross solvers, punched in the data, and wouldn't you know it, even they couldn't solve it. They both spat out an unfinished picross that stopped at the exact same point you did. I got farther than the bots did but I had to have messed up somewhere because I couldn't get the actual answer down. Maybe if you could try that method yourself, filling in from assumptions at 2-walled panels, you might have better luck.

Harrow posted:I really like FFXIV but if it hasn't full-on grabbed you by Heavensward it's pretty safe to tap out, assuming you were interested enough to get to Heavensward in the first place. I saw another poster say that they didn't really care about the Scions or other allied NPCs as characters until Shadowbringers and I can definitely say I mostly agree with that (with minor exceptions, Alphinaud, Estinien, and Ysale make strong impressions in Heavensward IMO) but I was still invested in the general plot enough that I wanted to keep going Yeah, FF14's main issue is shaky pacing up until HW, but but it largely rights itself by that point and if you get even halfway into HW and you're still not feeling it, then the game and it's storytelling just isn't for you and you're probably not going to enjoy later parts. While the writing does still largely improve over time (with a bit of a dip in Stormblood specifically because they got overambitious with how many stories they were trying to tell at the same time while also doing a bunch of worldbuilding. Still some gems during it though), I think if you're not at least moderately engaged by HW, it's a fundamental disagreement with the storytelling methods and possibly the stories that the game is trying to tell. Strictly out of curiosity and in now way a judgement call, for those folks who are/were really not feeling the FF14 story, what video game stories have you enjoyed in the past?

Do Persona and Persona 2 still hold up out of curiosity? It feels like P3 was the point where the series really became what it is today Also does P5 have any story connection (however minor) to its predecessors? I’ve only seen the anime version which just provided the bare story essentials

Persona and Persona 2 are pretty different games, yeah. I think Persona 1 shows a bit of its age, but a lot of people still swear by the Persona 2 duology. All three got PSP remakes which are probably the best way to play them (And the Eternal Punishment remake just got an English translation patch) Persona 3 and 4 have very light connections to the first two but they're basically vestigial by 5.

Plot-wise they've held up at least as well if not even better, your mileage may vary on the gameplay (especially for Persona 1). As for story connections, not really. There's references to past games and their characters squirreled away (just like in P3 and P4, actually), frequently on TV (such as, say, (P4 spoiler)Adachi being interviewed about the killings), but they don't particularly factor into the actual plot.

Walla posted:That is some bullshit. I'm not sure a logical next step even exists, but I can't find it. It looks like you have to map out every possible combination of blocks to find the answer. Lord Bob posted:You can X out the bottom right corner, which would get you.. slightly forward. And the one above that - bottom right and bottom right up1. FirstAidKite posted:I went through this writing up a whole bunch of poo poo on what to do next and then I got to a point where even that didn't work. Thank you for the Picross tips I wonder if that kind of advanced stuff was intended since it's the final set of secret puzzles or if it was just an oversight. There are some other later puzzles where I had gotten lazy and made guesses but this is the first one I'd seen which seemed actually unsolvable with the regular logic

Jay Rust posted:My major problem that I bring up a lot is that it’s the gameplay that bums me out, it’s 90% travelling between quest markers / cutscenes, it’s bad video gaming. I like the story, I want to know what happens next, the “the story gets better after XXX” arguments don’t affect me because I’m already enjoying it, but each time I step back and look at what I’m doing, yeah it’s uninteresting busywork and I doubt that gets much better be careful following this line of thought because you'll end up realizing how many games are uninteresting chores buoyed by narrative or presentation and then you end up down a hole only playing decade old doom wads and untranslated shmups

Continuing NEO: TWEWY and got to Day 3 of Week 2. Still liking it a lot! I love how Fret and Beat immediately bond over being dumb as gently caress. Dudes rock. One little thing I think is cool is connections page and seeing how the different characters relate to each other. Getting perks from them is also a nice bonus, but it seems silly to have stuff like the difficulty sliders and auto-sell locked behind them as well.

Its a problem with the Dungeons and Diagrams in Last Call BBS where the rules don't give you enough info to authentically solve them and you sort of have to intuit what the final shape would roughly look like, start building it, and then move around the final details

If you do decide to try out persona 1, 2, and 2, I also recommend giving Shin Megami Tensei IF a look because that game is a sort of proto-Persona.
