Frionnel posted:You don't need to grind in most JRPGs, though. Yeah, there are some that are built around grinding, but in most of them it's completely unnecessary unless the player is extremely bad at videogames or are going for optional bosses that are way tougher than anything on the main story path. Grinding is a much bigger issue in MMO and GaaS titles, like Diablo or Destiny.

Besides, why expect grinding when you can just have an encounter rate high enough to act as a de facto grind no matter what you do?

pizza tower rocks. zero flab on that game, just a steep uphill climb in quality and intensity until it finishes with the best final stretch ever. strong goty #2 contender along with signalis and northern journey in my 2023 list. nothing can beat street fighter but that’s because fighting games are just the best.

It's a real spiffy game all-around, though I can tell some of these P-ranks are gonna drive me insane. It's in my Top Five for the year for sure.

I'm not sure if I'm impressed that the Port Royale 3 weed emoticon has dropped down for $3.97 or that it's still worth that much Oxxidation posted:I personally do not need or want games to take 6 years and need hundreds of people to make I'm totally fine with a game taking 6 years if it means devs aren't working crunch time 24/7, games should take longer to make.

Getting all P-ranks was one of the most enjoyable times I’ve had 100%ing a game in a while, if that helps. It’s rad how you can get one even if you take a hit as long as you can keep your combo going fast enough, and the levels are thoughtfully put together so that planning a route felt natural and fun. The only two places I had to do counter-intuitive “save enemies to combo off of later” shenanigans was the area around Bloodsauce’s second secret and that one part of Oh poo poo where you bounce back and forth as a cheese ball.

I don't think that's true, I get offered poo poo all the time in the points store for shovelware trash that's beyond even my account. I don't own bootleg Dr. Livesy or Neko Hentai 7 but it sure goes "YOU WANT THIS STICKER?" anytime I browse.

I guess that probably answers if the devs get some kind of payment for steam points transactions versus market transactions.

SirSamVimes posted:edit: It's really funny to me how some devs have responded to how amazing BG3 is by saying that you can't expect other devs to step up and actually make good games, larian are witches or something. the thing is these kinds of choice-heavy reactive CRPGs come out really rarely. the canon of them is what, 15-20 games or so? i think it's fine to say these games are incredibly, incredibly hard to make

i think there's really always this tension between games-as-consumer-products and games-as-creative-works where like - if a game sucks, then it sucks. it isn't some kind of violation on your consumer rights that merits apology.jpg. this kind of flies into both sides, between people demanding apologies for a game being bad, and also that thing where- any time a bad game comes out, you always see the dev posts about how "hey guys video games are very hard so please be nice". it's like any creative field, a lot of it is going to be mediocre, and some of it is going to outright suck.

Reactivity and choice in cRPGs is such a con. You're basically going through the same levels either way it's primarily a question of programming in dialogue options/skill checks that players want to click on. True reactivity and choice is Starcraft 2 Mafia.

You're basically going through the same levels either way it's primarily a question of programming in dialogue options/skill checks that players want to click on. I mean the framing does matter. If one ending results in everybody living happily ever after and the other ending results in everyone dying, of course people are going to treat them differently even if those characters aren't mechanically important. And if there's an inconsistency later (whoops! Because of the plot everybody has to die/live anyway), people are going to be annoyed.
