I think overall after playing so much the low FPS only bugged me truly a couple times (Fairy team star base in the field of flowers made the whole battle take 1.5x as long as it should cuz of how slow everything went) but I hate how slow it makes menuing. I'll gladly walk around in 5fps land if the menus were somehow made snappy.

you shouldn't use flamethrower to fill out a checklist you should use it to let children you meet on the road know that they have to give you their pocket money or else

Wildtortilla posted:I’m looking for a new game, largely because I have the Pokémon itch for obvious reasons. With holiday sales I could definitely pick up something for less than the price of Violet. I'd recommend Triangle Strategy as I have before. Biggest issue with it is "plot" as in its plot heavy (it's a fine story though), so you find yourself wondering when all the fights are going to happen. But they do happen and they're very good. The game can be played with a main squad of 8-12 characters or you can find yourself swapping constantly. You don't have to grind for levels ever. Leveling up is extremely easy and even your levels behind a recommended level for a fight, you'll gain a full level per action (even using an item). You may grind for cash, but that's more on you, the game won't require you to do that. It has a ton of replay value, since you can decide to go through with another team and there's a bunch of endings (a minimum of 4 playthroughs are required to see it all). Every character is uniquely built and some are better than others at certain situations, but all have a niche and its up to you to find out how best to use them. Leveling characters is very straightforward, and the only "options" you have in upgrading weapons are fully reversible with no cost (you are forced to choose between 2 upgrades, one is often best, and otherwise you can swap them painlessly depending on the fight you're going into). There's not too much exploring, but you do get a chance to explore battlefields and pick up odds and ends. The game is tough but fair and will require you to think, but there's no perma-death and if you lose a fight you only gain experience and lose no items that were spent. It's very generous in that regard. I can't talk more highly about it. It is a strategy game though so you have to enjoy that. Try the demo! And while you're right about Pokémon allowing you to play it simple or complicated the only thing that strikes me as worthwhile are some of those challenge runs that limit your options to make the game actually difficult.

100YrsofAttitude posted:TriStrat words. I did play the TriStrat demo and I liked it a bunch! I’m glad to get confirmation that the leveling stuff is very streamlined and forgiving! I didn’t know you could roll back on decisions. That’s awesome. My comment about Pokémon being as simple or complicated wasn’t made in consideration of challenge runs (perspective and context always matter and I wasn’t clear). I was thinking more along the lines of team building and skill selection. Pokémon can be completed by capturing one ‘mon of a species and using that one ‘mon with no stat or skill tinkering. Or you could hunt around for or breed the perfect ‘mon and then work to get all the perfect skills and whatever else to min/max your team. I’m not into min/max’ing and Pokémon allows for that. I’m still very much undecided, but leaning toward Pokémon because all I want to play are comfort food games these days. If TriStrat didn’t have such long chunks of story I’d be much more keen on it right now.

Plot's not that long. It's all skippable, though that's not the best way to go about it. Reading the scenes you usually have like 5-10 mins before a battle, exploration, or vote. If it's just battles, it can probably go from 5 mins to 15. The beginning of the game is a bit front-loaded with plot being far more streamlined down the path. Plus the "mock" battles, which are redoable at any point, allow you to just fight all you want. I wouldn't sit through the voice-acting, it's neither very good and it takes longer. Either way, I hope you enjoy what you end up getting.

Wildtortilla posted:I’m looking for a new game, largely because I have the Pokémon itch for obvious reasons. With holiday sales I could definitely pick up something for less than the price of Violet. Hey, for once, someone is asking about a bunch of games all of which I've played! Triangle Strategy: Yeah, as people have said, there's very little customization and the big decisions are which team you bring and then whatever tactical actions they can take. Also worth mentioning is that it has a very generous exp curve, so if you wanna bring someone in from the bench, they can catch up real fast. Pokémon Violet: Also yes. My general strategy is just picking up ones I like, ideally ones I haven't used before, and sticking with that team regardless of how optimal it is, rarely benching one if I find a really cool new friend. You can do this just fine, and also rotate in way more monsters if you feel like it, the game is also pretty generous with letting things catch up. XBC3: This game was a bit on the fiddly end in my experience, but I was also in a fiddly mood when I played it. It has options for automating both equipment and skills if you'd prefer; I've never used them but I hear they work fine. It's also by far the prettiest of the games on the list and I quite enjoyed the plot. SMTV: There's very little in the way of customization; your demons come with base stats and a set of skills, and you can slap them together to give them other demons' skills. There's a whole min-maxing metagame if you want to powerlevel and crush hard mode, but you don't have to engage with it if you don't want to. It does miss on the pacing front, because demons will stop learning skills and fall behind after a handful of levels, and the game wants you to fuse them into newer tougher ones, but it's a lot more organic and manageable than it sounds; I hated the idea when I first came across it, but adjusted pretty easily. Persona 5: Similarly, the action limit innately put me off, but I ended up being fine with it once I got used to it. You can take as long as you like exploring the town and shopping and such, and likewise in dungeons, and then pick one of a number of actions to boost your stats or explore side stories to get various bonuses and such. As long as you don't try to max out everything in one playthrough, it's a surprisingly chill experience. Gameplay-wise it strikes a middle ground where you have one character doing the SMT demon stuff and a cast of traditional RPG party members who require little management. sorry I guess that's not much help, they're all good!

Whatcha know about the Sludge Life? How about that it's on sale half off! Sludge Life is a 3D platformer / exploration game where you play as Ghost, a graffiti artist hitting a polluted junktown that's on strike for the day. The game is all about finding sweet spots to tag, collecting gear to help you explore further, and meeting all the other weirdos living in sludge with you. There's not much combat or danger, the only real enemies are gravity, snakes (I only ever found one,) and the bad ending. There's no permadeath, either. I liked this game a lot on Steam, but it's a little short to pay full price for. It's definitely an "experience" game like A Short Hike, but that one's better imo. There are hints at an underlying story, you just have to explore around to learn it. Meet weird people and animals! Trip balls on mushrooms! Climb a radio tower to smoke a ciggy, then piss off it! There's also toggles in the Options menu if you want to play as a vegetarian, and if you sit down when you pee. Inclusivity! Big Mud for lyfe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EAGUyrZ0-s

Aside from the usual stuff we all know about, my fave glitch that I've had so far has been when I ate a sandwich my mouth got stuck open in a big open smile and got stuck that way til I restarted. That was a good one. Did a gym battle like that and I just looked super stoked the whole time.

The last glitch I got was making a sandwich where after putting the top oart it dissapeared, so it was just bread with 12 slices of ham and chorizo lol. Kinda sad the chorizos are not in slices but in sausage form, so I can't replicate my usual snack.

Grabbed Persona 5 Royal, I got a chunk of the way through it on PS3, but it’s been so long I’ve forgotten 99% of it I’m sure. It really strikes me as a game that’s probably better on the switch anyway?

If different people use different profiles on a switch, will the same game share saves between profiles, or keep the saves "walled off" between profiles? I.e. will my kid destroy my saves if he plays the same games?

Everyone signs in as themselves, and progresses their unlocks as they play. Edit: I think Big Brain Academy does this, too, but it really should be every game. Either sign in or continue as guest.
