Just walk in a different direction and die?

Just shy of ten hours and I finished my victory lap in Dread collecting every last thing. Some of those shine sparks took a bit but I did it. I think prior to that I was probably around 8 hours or a bit but with only 50-60% completion and now I'm at 99%. I'll probably finish the game this week, but it sure was a treat.

Libluini posted:After playing a couple missions in the remake, I still haven't understood yet why the legs are even there. If an arm gets blown off, sure that weapon is gone, but even losing both legs doesn't seem to mission kill a Wanzer. Are they losing mobilitiy at least and I just missed that? In 1st, legs grant extra move based on their move stat. So if legs are damaged your movement will be reduced. Its not a huge issue in 1st but it becomes a problem in later games because guns have different ranges based on their type and losing legs cripple your move hard. I think in later games legs also give evade bonus so you are more or less dead in the water without them WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Dec 11, 2022 |

I played front mission 3 multiple decades ago but do remember that I was big on taking out the legs and then picking enemies off from a distance.

Because you got more experience the more body parts you destroyed, i ran all my wanzers with shotguns. Easily the most horribly inefficient way to play in the late game.

Beat River City Girls earlier today using the free pass, liked it despite some basic combat. Also, I found it funny after seeing the ending: the only Kunio game I have ever played was Kunio Tachi No Banka, playing with a friend on an emulator device that you plugged into the SNES and put floppy disks into. Had no idea what was going on, since it was all Japanese but we just enjoyed the fighting and trying to randomly piece together the story based on what was going on the screen. In it, you play as Kunio and Riki, as well as Makoto and Ryoko (they weren't as strong, I preferred the other guys and their moves). Apparently, it's also one of the only games in which those girls are their girlfriends. So in the ending when the boys disregarded these two girls because they barely knew who they were, I was quite surprised, not knowing that "canonically" they're not actually the girlfriends. Anyway, that plot beat and like one or two music tracks in the game really brought me back to playing that game over and over again with him, really miss those memories.

I preferred Makoto and Ryoko for Tachi no Banka when playing it, purely based on their movement speed. The only attack that really mattered for me is the special attack (spin kick or rapid punch) so I never really noticed a difference between the boys and girls aside from max HP. The musical callbacks in RCG are great though, it's good stuff.

From the FF thread:Vikar Jerome posted:All 6 pixel remasters have been rated by the esrb for ps4 and nintendo switch (no xbox by the looks of it) anniversary is on the 18th so i would expect them to drop then The FF Pixel Remaster games are good remakes if you got any interest in them, most of them aren't necessarily the definitive versions of their games and a few have weird balance issues, but for the most part all six are perfectly playable and a great experience whether you're new or familiar with the older games. Also the redone music loving slaps.

Commander Keene posted:If you're talking about the GBA/DS exclusive content, tbh most of the time I hear people talk about that stuff it's almost universally panned Sounds like sour grapes, tbh. If that stuff was in the pixel remasters with an “Additional Content: On/Off” toggle like the SaGa remasters have I don’t think anybody would tell you to turn it off.

This was before the pixel remasters were even announced, though. I think the best I've ever heard about the added content in any of the games was that the plot of Soul of Rebirth was pretty decent as long as you could stand playing more FF2 to get to it, which I was done with the mechanics of FF2 by the time I got there in my playthrough of the GBA version last year just before the remasters were announced. People were definitely vociferously complaining about the Dragons' Den in FF6 at least.

I remember unequipping all the items from my characters before they died in FFII, so when I tried the Dawn of Souls content the first fight was literally impossible and I was never able to play it lol I didn’t like the extra FFVI content. I liked the stuff in FFIV and FFV though iirc Edit: no wait, I gave up in FFVI gba because I kept trying the Fanatic’s Tower, getting to the top, beating the boss then dying on the way back down and losing all my progress. It happened three or four times and I was so mad I didn’t even beat the game lol also the sound quality on the GBA was garbage and made the music/sfx awful.

For FF1, NES, Wonderswan, and PS1 ports had spell slots, though in PS1 and I think WS there was a difficulty option that bumped spell slots up to a max of 99 instead of just 9. GBA, PSP, and Mobile had MP. PR re-added spell slots. All versions of 3 had spell slots.

Even at the time I thought it was weird because Dawn of Souls changed out spell slots for MP. Spell slots are dumb in D&D and they're dumb in Final Fantasy too. I will die on this hill.

I just think the term "spell slots" is dumb. It doesn't refer to how many different spells you can have equipped (slots), it refers to how many times you can cast a spell (casts / instances / whatever). The colloquial term should've just been "spells". And don't get me started on the inherent redundancies in "TPK".

I loved the combat in ff13 but life interrupted me 3/4 through the game when it was new, I never returned to it, and at this point the likelihood of me playing a game on the television from start to finish is 0%. I’d love a portable ff13.
