Escobarbarian posted:Uh-oh I don’t understand Queen’s Blood at all Made short: The board is made up of 3 lanes (top, middle, bottom.) You can only play cards on a spot in that lane that has a green light. You can play a card on that green light and it will claim that spot as well as allow you to claim more space on surrounding spots, depending on the area shown on the card. However if an enemy claims that zone it will change to red and you can't place your card there unless you re-reclaim it. If you 'claim' the same spot more than once it will get two and eventually three green lights. More powerful cards require a 2 or 3 light zone. Each card you play has a point value. This value is a combination of HP and score. When a match ends, each lane is tallied up. Whoever has the most points in that lane will win the lane, and the combined value of all those points will be added to the winning player's pot. The losing player gets nothing. Whoever has the biggest pot at the end of the game wins. So you can win by having one really really strong lane or two weaker lanes. Eventually you'll get introduced to cards that debilitate other cards. This reduces their value and if the value goes to 0 they will be destroyed, meaning that spot can now be claimed again. The game ends when both players skip their turns. This means if you don't have a card or want to play a card and you are in the lead at the moment you can skip your turn, which can be useful. There's a lot more complexity including different rule sets, cards with unique abilities, cards that transform, cards that alter the playing field, or rules of the game, etc. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Feb 29, 2024 |

When does the option to skip the demo appear? It said in the main menu that I could do it but now that I'm in chapter 1 and go to the system menu it says I need to finish this chapter

Performance mode looks drastically better to me, way more of an improvement than I expected. Haven't gotten to any open-world stuff yet, but the Nibelheim stuff no longer looks like I need a new glasses prescription.

JBP posted:This is great to hear because the demo performance mode was dire. From what I've seen others say it's a subtle difference (which is why I was surprised), but it's pretty drastic to me. I was originally planning on manipulating my TV's settings to somehow play in Graphics mode, but Performance mode (with no TV shenanigans) will definitely be fine if it keeps looking like this. Apparently what they did might replace the blurriness with jaggery edges (from what the Digital Foundry review says), but it's nothing I've noticed (though I sit a decent distance from the screen). Edit: I'm excessively happy/relieved about this. I had been psyching myself up to tolerate some deficiency in the visuals (either the framerate on Graphics or blurriness on Performance) so it owns that I'll be able to just freely enjoy it without worrying about that.

Well, due to modem issues I can't download the game completely, but I did download enough to at least get through Nibelheim (the demo portion at least). Also oh my lord I just realized something that I can't believe I missed from the demo (Big spoilers for OG FF7): When you talk to the Grunt that is actually Cloud, he talks in Zack's voice. Those were actual things Zack said to him in Nibelheim.

They should have cut to the scene in the reactor. How am I supposed to know how to turn wheels if I don't see the tutorial? Oh, well, at least I'll know how to do the crawling minigame.

I know it's just modern games, but:
You know, all things the player would usually explore through actual gameplay? Almost feels like it was designed for being youtubed in ALL CUTSCENES MOVIE 4K format, because you will not be confused!

Holy poo poo, literally opening the game with Aerith dying as the White Materia falls to the ground and bounces is just sheer loving cheek. (And it feels very silly to be spoiler-tagging something that happens within 15 minutes of hitting New Game, but not everyone has their copy and not everyone who bought digital has played it yet, so better to err on the side of politeness.) Yes, Nomura, "Are we really gonna kill Aerith again? Did we dare to do it even with all of you knowing what's coming, or did we dare to mess with the single most iconic moment in all of Final Fantasy history" is the question hanging over this entire game, we know. Anyway I have to sleep and then do a job because apparently I'm not allowed to play video games if I don't have any money and/or am dead, which is obnoxious, but what can you do. First hour or so is pretty fun, doesn't seem like they messed with a working formula, and I can only assume the very long pause and blackout screen every time you sit on a bench to restore your HP/MP is a stylistic choice? Because there's no way it's a hardware thing and it somehow feels even longer than it did in Remake.

I know Grasslands is probably just the "tutorial zone" but game seems a decent bit easier than the first. Thought Junon demo had solid enough difficulty with the Intel Fiends but most of the Grasslands ones have been cake walks outside of the final one. Hope the enemies pick up a little soon. Everything else has been great though. Loving the game, and its just just nice to be back with the party again. Love all these guys.

I didn't play the junon demo because I didn't want to see much of the game. Glad I did it. I have done some wandering in the field. Fought some mobs and met a guy with a truck then had to quit. It's been fun so far with the characters. I've left the game on quality mode. My eyes adjusted fine and if you leave the camera alone it's no worries. Much like the first game leaving the camera alone largely makes it feel more like the original with static backgrounds that are very visually interesting. Also took me about two minutes to reconfirm that I'm an Aerith man through and through. E: also I set the difficulty to dynamic or whatever it is because the original game was very easy. So far this is a walkover but I've only seen field trash.

I woke up two hours early before I usually get up for work to get a little taste of Rebirth. Let’s goooo unlocked Edit: why on earth do they dump you into a scenario right away where you can’t enter the real pause menu and edit things like going from graphical to performance. Man the low frame rate is hurting my eyes and you can’t change it. Each time you hit pause it doesn’t give you the real pause menu MintFresh fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Feb 29, 2024 |
