Well I'm done with Rebirth. Got to Gongaga. Accidentally clicked reload from checkpoint instead of battle and now I just lost hours and hours of progress. What loving clowns even have this built into the game? Who the gently caress chooses to undo hours of progress? Like I seriously need to redo the entirety of the Gongaga open world because of this poo poo. Holy gently caress I have not been this pissed at a game in a long time.

The fact his skittering doesn't actually seem to be indicative of where to look definitely pissed me off further.Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I was doubly annoyed with it because I’d just come off of a boss fight I hated and then all of a sudden I’m playing hide and seek. Worst part is I thought I was chasing him so when I saw him scamper around I’d try to chase to no avail, before I stumbled upon a triangle input icon

That was the case for me, but it's super likely that's happened to you, too! I had no idea it'd happen until I turned on my console one day and it happily informed me it had updated and rebooted when I had the game idling. It'd be nice if there was a setting to allow auto-updates only if a game isn't running, but I have a feeling most people don't know how to close the game manually anyway.

Just beat the game. Holy smokes. Unless Dragon's Dogma 2 or some games I can't remember that are coming out this year really knocks me on my rear end this game is my GOTY. I'm really excited for 3 and I didn't think I would be from a lurking fear I was having. Completely unfounded. The wait for game 3 is going to be worse than the wait for this one.

I just got the little cutscene with Rufus having the little meeting with his crew. Heidegger is perfect, the way they animating him throwing his head back when he laughs, Hojo is so perfectly a huge weird creep, I liked the detail that he was not at all scared of Rufus' dog. Palmer is weirdly one of the most accurately reproduced in 3D out of any of the characters.

This game is so unbelievably charming  I lost it when Elena shows up with a popsicle.I really wasn't expecting FF7 Rebirth to be like, a comedy RPG. But it is and it rules. I dunno if I've played a game with such a fun balance of action and humor since like, the first three Metal Gear Solid games.

Do you have to win all of the mini games to get the plat? I was on the fence about a hard mode run but if I've got to do tifas situps and run wild to get it, I am absolutely not going to invest any time into that.

I'm at the point of no return and I want to know if we're expected to wait until after finishing the game to be able to kill some of the monsters, e.g. the pirate treasure ones, or if we're supposed to be able to tackle them now without much difficulty?

Anyone got any tips for doing the final protorelic challenge in Corel? Aerith's attacks are just so painfully slow and ineffective I'm seriously struggling to even get halfway to the amount of points I need.

Sorcerous Storm the magic ones, just dodge towards the physical ones and whack 'em. Keep a Transcendence charging in your back pocket if you have it to blast the gigantaurs when they belly flop. If one of the light or dark cactaurs put up a manwall hitting them physically will make it drop.

If you have a power outage your console will get big mad at you next time you turn it on.  If it’s not doing that then yeah it’s probably updates, and you can turn off automatic updates in the settings so it’s whatever.

Yeah I ultimately had a lot of fun with the game, I had some quibbles with a couple chapters or moments in chapters specifically but by and large the vast majority of the game had me genuinely really happy in a way most games don't even approach.

Mustang posted:Well I'm done with Rebirth. Got to Gongaga. Accidentally clicked reload from checkpoint instead of battle and now I just lost hours and hours of progress. Yeah I can overlook some of the weird gameplay decisions as just quirks of the game, but it is honestly baffling that this made it through playtesting. Giving the players an ambiguous checkpoint button that could set them back hours, right next to the button they should actually be pressing, is so incredibly stupid. There is literally zero use for the return to checkpoint button in any situation ever. It’s just there to screw the players. I am glad I ran into it in the grasslands and only lost like 15 mins of playtime, but I can see how later on when you’re spending hours between story beats how it could absolutely screw you. Square should patch this out asap. Seph fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 17, 2024 |

who are you people leaving your console perpetually powered on with your games suspended just save and shut down! with a fully powered off system, it takes like 15-20 seconds from hitting the PS button on your controller to being back in-game if you use the "continue" function

Sorry if this gets discussed all the time, but I’m mostly still trying to avoid the thread. Are later open world areas as annoying as Gongaga? Once I figured out what to look for it wasn’t so bad, but it still took me something like four hours to clear almost everything. The environments and art direction are great, but those mushrooms drove me nuts. Also, are the charged up synergy skills just super busted? Especially the charged magic ones seem nuts — they do more damage than most atb abilities, build a full atb bar on two characters, are ranged, prevent stagger by most attacks, can hit multiple enemies fairly frequently and aren’t even that slow. Cloud standing in one place spamming spell blade ends most fights near instantly.

None are nearly as insane as Gongaga. Also yes, synergy skills and abilities are extremely powerful. Hence all the SP it takes to get them. The game expects you to use them, and they build both ATB and character affinity for the eventual Gold Saucer date. Use them.

Holy poo poo (Chapter 12 spoilers)Loveless was amazing. Are the roles different depending on your date? Yuffie was mine but I’m not sure if she’s always the princess or not. Speaking of the date, on Hard mode getting the date you want might actually be kinda important since it affects your party for the Don fight. That said the Tonberries seemed like the only tough fight and they’d be trivial if you just make your party immune to instant death.
